“There has to be a different way for me to use my magic in the world. My magic can't keep mopping up messes that are created by ridiculous decisions like this.”
When HR Director Emma Djemil hit a moment of ‘enough is enough’ she knew it was time for her skills, energy, passions to be directed elsewhere.
Stuck cleaning up the messes of others, she knew it was time for a big change. In this episode, Emma talks about what it really takes to walk away from a toxic job, where to find the drive for something new, and why humour is such a powerful tool for getting through it all.
Emma shares her honest story about leaving corporate life, how she discovered her own voice online, and what helped her put herself first.
Here are the highlights:
04:00 Emma’s “closing door” moment – when enough was enough
08:10 From rage to purpose: the real reasons that ignite career change
17:25 The myth of imposter syndrome
24:30 Why your uniqueness is your superpower
26:04 Not everyone has to be “your people” (and why that’s liberating)
33:00 Humour as resilience: using comedy to survive (and thrive)
The things that helped Emma navigate change:
Music: “Salute” by Little Mix (and some Erasure for that retro energy!)
Book: “The Fix: Overcome the Invisible Barriers That Are Holding Women Back at Work” by Dr. Michelle King
One piece of advice:
“Be willing to try and have faith you’ll be okay, whatever the outcome. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end.”
About Emma:
As the Founder of The HR Club (a no-BS community of over 100 women) and creator of The HR Big Meet (an annual conference that actually focuses on women’s wellbeing instead of just adding “resilience” to their to-do list), Emma is on a mission to make work suck less.
She could tell you about her 18 years in HR, her Certificate in Applied Neuroscience, or her accreditation as a Brain and Behaviour Change Practitioner, all of which are very serious and important. But what really matters is this: Emma helps women in leadership be sustainably unstoppable, so they can have maximum impact without burning out, selling their souls, or crying in the office toilets (we’ve all been there).
Slightly sweary, highly sarcastic, and allergic to corporate nonsense, Emma believes that no one should feel like they have to put on a “work version” of themselves to be taken seriously. Because the real you, the one who sings in the car, laughs at inappropriate moments, and maybe drops the occasional F-bomb, is exactly the leader the world needs.
She lives in Chartham, Kent, with her husband and their seven-year-old daughter, who reminds her daily that joy isn’t something you schedule, it’s something you demand, preferably while wearing a tiara.

“There were two significant moments, two significant doors. One was the thought of that's it. I'm dead. Door closed on everything. And the other moment was when the consultant said, you can have all this back. You've just got to work for it. Door open.”
In this episode, Mark Green, founder of Change Rebellion, shares his wild story of a door closing, nearly for good, and how it changed him and his perspective for life. It’s not just a story about navigating professional change; it’s about survival, resilience, and finding purpose.
When COVID hit his family in late 2020, Mark fell severely ill, resulting in him spending two months in an induced coma. He shares the raw reality of what it felt like to face death, the strange dreams and mental battles and how the moment a consultant offered hope became a literal “door opening” in his life. Mark’s recovery meant learning everything again. How to walk, talk, eat, and rebuild his strength.
Listen to this episode to be reminded about what really matters, and why sometimes, the only plan you need is to keep moving forward.
Here are the highlights:
03:39 The transformative power of a second chance
07:08 Life and dreams inside a coma
09:16 Recovery: learning to walk, talk, and live again
14:31 Mindset shifts: why perspective matters
20:46 Reimagining change management: keeping it human
23:22 The moment of decision: owning the pathway ahead
44:39 Focus on loved ones, find balance, and enjoy life without getting caught up in external issues.
The things that helped Mark navigate change:
Music: “Foreplay/Long Time” by Boston
One piece of advice: “Keep those nearest and dearest to you close. That’s all that matters and all that’s important. Try to have fun along the way, focus on what you can change, let go of the rest.”

“I think whenever you feel yourself being resistant, the challenge is to find acceptance. Because you have to accept something to shove that resistance out of the way. And once you've accepted it, you can move beyond it.”
In this episode, I’m speaking with Kreena Dhiman, a friend, and an incredible keynote speaker who leaves you feeling like you can achieve anything!
Kreena shares her story of unexpected redundancy after a decade in a successful accounting career, and how that shock forced her to confront not only her professional identity but also lifelong struggles, setbacks, and cultural expectations. And the need to get out there and gare her story to inspire others.
But this isn’t just a tale about job loss, it's a deeply personal story of navigating serious illness, infertility, family challenges, and grief, all while steadily building a foundation for a brave future on her own terms.
You will be nothing but charged to go out into the World, be bold and brave and rise after listening!
Here are the highlights:
10:31 Resilience: life's journey and key moments
14:35 Survival, infertility, and finding acceptance
17:15 Where does “drive” come from?
21:42 Journey to self beyond expectations

About Kreena:
Kreena is a keynote speaker about The Art of Being Brave. Adversity and failure are never our weakness, these are the experiences that lay the foundations from which we grow. Within each set back, lies the opportunity for resilience to rise, and it's resilience that allows us to survive and thrive in an ever changing world.
Pain x Resistance = Suffering, but Pain x Acceptance = Growth
Kreena's charismatic presence captivates audiences, while her heartfelt vulnerability fosters deep, authentic connections. Through The Art of Being Brave she enables powerful storytelling and thought provoking insights. She engages, inspires, and challenges perspectives, leaving a lasting impact on every listener.

“Sometimes the doors closing are not just physical things. Sometimes it is about closing the way we do something, the way we think, so that we can step into a different space for ourselves.”
Have you ever felt the weight of certainty pull you down, trapping you in a life that doesn’t truly fulfill you?
In this episode I sit down with Suzanne Penny, a transition and career coach, who shares her own transformative journey of leaving behind certainty in favour of embracing the unknown.
Suzanne shares key turning points in her life that could have easily anchored her in fear and loss, yet propelled her into a space of growth, curiosity, and empowerment. We talk about that change will inevitably mean we have to face being uncomfortable, before we find a more aligned pathway.
Whether you’re facing a career transition or just needing a shift in how you view your world, this episode offers inspiration and practical insights on how to embrace change.
Here are the highlights:
04:03 Embrace uncertainty and get comfortable with the unknown
08:41 Losing job, becoming a single parent and launching a business
14:12 Taking breaks increases productivity and prevents burnout
17:33 Guided meditations can provide clarity and confidence
19:28 Embrace magic and openness
27:00 I wish I’d had business coaching earlier
30:58 Patience is a skill; with it, you win

The one piece of advice: "We absolutely have everything we need inside of us. We can make that positive change. If anyone's out there knowing they want to make change, you can. You totally can. And like I said, try not to just suffer alone with it. Get support around you. That's so key."
More about Suzanne:
Having started over following the death of her friend, Suzanne made some big decisions to start over. Which meant leaving her marriage of 15 years and wrapping up associate work as a career transition coach. But it didn't all go according to plan, starting a new job, getting fired 12 days later, working a fixed term contract which then expired just before the second lockdown, she found herself out of work in the pandemic. But she trusted completely that this was time for better things and she launched her training and coaching co, Empowered Space, as a single mum of two, trusting completely in her ability to impact more people through her work. It's been the biggest journey of self-discovery, navigating being a founder, being diagnosed with ADHD and navigating peri-menopause. Suzanne works with both corporates and individuals to support people to navigate career transitions, supporting new beginnings, for leaders starting new roles , new teams merging, and providing outplacement support at times of endings. Knowing that change does bring opportunity and embracing every step of the journey.

"When you have kindness in the culture, you build psychological safety. And from there you have high performing teams, better staff retention, creativity, resilience, like it really stacks up in terms of all the different benefits that you get by increasing levels of kindness and empathy in your business."
Kindness can transform not just your personal well-being but also the landscape of work and leadership. In this episode, I reconnect with Graham Allcott, productivity expert, author, and now a passionate advocate for kindness in the workplace. We share the inspiration for his new book Kind, and how kindness is essential in moments of change. Kindness to yourself, and others.
Graham shares his journey of closing doors, his evolution from productivity to kindness, and the impact kindness can have in our daily lives and careers.
Here are the highlights:
05:55 Transitioned from managing a business to an MD
10:06 Ready to shift focus from productivity talk to new topics for personal interest
24:06 Experimentation encourages curiosity
35:44 Promote kindness to counter negative narratives
39:22 Curiosity about understanding inherently different personalities
52:37 Kindness begins with self-kindness
The things that helped Graham navigate change -
Book: "Wintering" by Katherine May
Music: "Lovely Day" - Bill Withers
The one piece of advice: “When you think about kindness, it's really important to be kind to yourself first. And once you start to be kind to yourself first, then you start to rewire your brain to make it easier for you to be kind to everybody else. So never think of self kindness as self indulgent. Always think of it as the thing that helps to role model for you and everybody around you an abundance mentality instead of a scarcity one.”
More about Graham
Graham is the author of multiple books, including the global bestseller How to Be a Productivity Ninja. His latest book, KIND: The Quiet Power of Kindness at Work, focuses on why organisations with kinder, more human-centred cultures are ultimately more successful.
He is the founder of Think Productive, one of the world's leading providers of training and consultancy, with offices in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands.

"The biggest thing was I wanted to be more responsible as a thought leader. And in a world where we have so much information, misinformation, disinformation, it was important that I went through a process of acquiring knowledge and creating new knowledge and it was the PhD."
Ready to lead a curiosity rebellion? We have the inspiring Yemi Penn as our guest. Yemi is a trailblazer who has navigated and embraced change across continents, careers, and personal transformations.
From her early beginnings in engineering to becoming a documentary creator and author, Yemi has followed her curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit to explore new doors and opportunities.
In our conversation, we explore her experiences living in Japan and Australia, the transition from a traditional career path to entrepreneurship, and the recent pursuit of a PhD about cultural trauma. Yemi shares provoking insights on handling identity shifts, following your calling, and embracing change with an open heart and mind.
Here are the highlights:
04:27 Moved from Japan to the UK for engineering job
11:39 Change is non-linear, with moments of progress and retreat
20:03 Started a consultancy after realising the same rat race abroad
28:43 Life's changes often disrupt the path you are on
36:36 Taking action despite uncertainty is key

The things that helped Yemi navigate change -

The one piece of advice: “Get better at asking high quality questions. What am I afraid of? And answer really honestly. If you just do that you'll know what your next step is. Because a lot of us are seeking certainty, especially in these moments. But just ask what you're afraid of”
More about Yemi
Yemi is a speaker, researcher, author,engineer . Engineer by profession, Entrepreneur by passion, Transformation thought leader by mission. Helping businesses & people make complex problems simple. After relocating to Australia from the U.K, I realised I was on the same hamster wheel I ran away from, this wheel just had a lot more sunshine. Turns out I was running away from myself, and so the invitation came for me to run away again (oh I would have!) or get down to business and look into that double sided mirror. I was blessed with a great job as an engineer and project manager yet I forever seemed to be chasing happiness. Having been homeless at 24, a single mother to two, I had well and truly earned my hard knock degree.
It became frighteningly obvious that nobody was coming to save me and so I got to work on cleaning my trauma and do this daily to ensure I do not pass this on to my children or those I come across in life—it's not for the faint hearted but it's worth it. In doing the work I have been able to create successful businesses in the U.K. and Australia - most importantly, I no longer chase happiness, it finds me when I am open to receiving it.

“I grew up watching the Olympics and you see these athletes from around the world marching in the opening ceremonies. And then one day, you are setting foot in that stadium. 50,000 people screaming and you look to your right and you see more cameras than you can count. And in that moment that you are on TV around the world and some little kid is probably looking at you the way you looked at some other athlete."
How do you find the courage to push forward when fear and uncertainty stand in your way? In this episode, I speak to Devon Harris, member of the legendary Jamaican bobsleigh team that inspired the film Cool Runnings. Devon shares his journey from growing up in Kingston's neighborhoods to becoming an army officer and eventually an Olympic athlete - despite being afraid of both speed and heights!
Devon shows us how keeping focused on moving forward is often the only real choice we have.
Here are the highlights:
04:51 Uncertain future after High School
09:06 Nervous summer running up to Army Selection
12:33 From Jamaica to Sandhurst Training

“My new mission in life...is about helping women be seen, heard, and valued in their space, whether that's in work and beyond”
In this episode, I talk with Aimee Bateman, an incredible entrepreneur and advocate for women in the workplace.
Aimee shares her story of how experimenting helped her through a closing door after selling her business Careercake. She had spent 10 years building a successful company, then sold it, which was the plan all along. But after the sale, she faced a new challenge: What’s next? She was also adjusting to life as a new parent, balancing her drive with the demands of motherhood. Rather than jump straight into her next big project, Aimee took a different approach: she gave herself a year to experiment.
Aimee’s “year of experiments” wasn’t about perfect plans or guaranteed outcomes. It was about trying things out without pressure. She explored new ideas, met new people, and tested projects to see what resonated. Some ideas worked; others didn’t. And that was okay.
Aimee admits it wasn’t always easy: “At points, my ego was on fire. What if I fail? What will people think? What if I need to change things?”
But she learned to embrace the experimenting mindset. Looking back, she now sees her year of experiments as one of her most valuable experiences. It helped her figure out what truly excites her and what direction to take next. “It can feel unnerving to experiment. Like you have to get everything right the first time. But I’ve learned so much, and I know that 2025 is going to be a brilliantly focused year because of how clear I am now about what I want to do.”
Here are the highlights:
03:39 Helping women be seen, heard, and valued in all aspects of life.
08:57 Facing gender bias in the workplace.
11:47 Massive life changes after having a baby led to an identity crisis, and selling a company
17:45 Pursuit of success overshadowed happiness
20:23 Core values, especially kindness, are vital for personal transformation
33:34 Take a career break, be gentle, there's time to go hard later
46:44 Discover your North Star values
The things that helped Aimee navigate change
Book: “The Long Game" by Dorie Clark
Music: "Sympathy for the Devil", The Rolling Stones.
The one piece of advice: “Go and figure out what your values are, which are conflicting with each other, and work out not just what your values are but what's your north star. So we've got our north, our east, our but there will be one value that overrides everything else. That's your north star.”
More about Aimee
A former recruiter, turned award-winning career coach and the founding CEO of the venture-backed Edtech startup, Careercake (Voted UK’s #1 career development platform), which was acquired in 2022. Aimee defied the odds by securing venture and angel investment across two continents, despite operating in a global landscape where less than 2% of funding goes to a female founder. 10million+ professionals in 42 countries have taken Aimee’s career development courses, including 3million on LinkedIn Learning and featuring as a career expert for the BBC and Sky TV. A busy mum to a toddler and 2 rescue dogs and Aimee hosts the weekly, Seen. Heard. Valued. Podcast and runs Female Further coaching programme.

"For me opening the door was the same door that had shut in my face previously. But going back there and thinking, well, what am I able to do? …I tried many things, but I realised it's music. So I sat down with a blank piece of paper and thought, I've got to make my way again."
Imagine being at the height of music stardom in the 90s, performing on Top of the Pops, being helicoptered between gigs, and having fans waiting outside your house. Then suddenly, there is silence.
In this episode Lee Murray shares what happens when the music stops. Lee was the drummer in the band Let Loose, which enjoyed headline and chart success in the 90s. And then, due to various moving doors, and sliding doors moments the record contracted ended. Lee shares the moment he got the letter, sitting on his stairs thinking now what do I do?
It wasn’t an easy few years, navigating what to do next, trying things that didn't work out. But eventually returning to his roots and the love that was there all the time, drumming. Lee set up his own drum school Lee Murray Drum Hub, and now specialises in using lessons to help people with their mental health and to help neurodivergent children in particular.
Here are the highlights:
03:37 As a kid, I was obsessed with music, I dreamt of a music career.
07:48 Non-stop touring and performances for eight years.
21:02 Try new things without fear; be in the right mental space to succeed.
24:16 Drumming, which offered direction and mental wellness benefits.
38:20 Childhood dreams of being a pop star drove adult ambition.

The one piece of advice: “You’ll have real highs and you will have the lows. It’s about trying to equip yourself with the tools to ride through that. So you can experience the highs and enjoy them knowing that it may not last forever, and you will get times where it's going to dip. Equip yourself with the resilience to think it will pass…Keep telling yourself that you're worth it.”
About Lee:
Lee Murray, drummer of 90s boy band Let Loose, found salvation in music amid mental health struggles. The band, known for playing their instruments and writing songs, had a hit with "Crazy For You" in 1994. Lee joined at 17 in 1987, but faced challenges after their 1996 split. Drumming helped him recover, leading to work with artists like Westlife, Ronan Keating and Lisa Stansfield.
Recently, Lee founded the Lee Murray Drum Hub, using music to support mental health and neurodivergent children. Let Loose reformed in late 2023 with Matthew James Pateman as lead singer, performing at shows and festivals. They're set to release a new single, "Glorious," while Lee's solo single "Never Give Up On Us" launches on January 31st.

"It's okay when you fundamentally change your perspective, and it makes different anchors in your life to what you had up to a certain moment of a door closing. I think the door closing on me was about not wanting to be an employed person anymore and wrestling with it.”
Ever felt the whisper of your dreams urging you to make a change but hesitated because of the safety net of a steady job? In this insightful episode, I sit down with Dr. Claire Handby as she shares her transition from a 25-year corporate career to embracing entrepreneurship.
Of course, there is a lot to be said about just going for it, making the leap, feeling the fear, but there are also some realities that come with change. This conversation is about following a dream, but how you can do it without it feeling like a risk.
This conversation will resonate with anyone feeling trapped by the familiar who is yearning for the freedom to craft their own path. We explore the importance of diverse perspectives, emotional connections, doing the Maths and the courage required to step finally through the door to the life you desire.
Here are the highlights:
05:33 Pandemic restrictions inspire Claire to want the freedom that came with entrepreneurship.
09:28 Adjusting post-lockdown: trying to balance work, wellness, and resilience.
12:55 Pursue self-employment for autonomy and impact.
17:03 Change alters perspective; involvement obscures perception.
20:03 Nature boosts creativity and productivity.
21:35 Left a 25-year corporate career to start a business, motivated by a podcast.
26:00 Job security is uncertain; have savings and plan finances accordingly.
34:15 Do the maths to change your life.

The one piece of advice: “Do the maths. What do you need monthly to have a really nice life? And then both your subconscious mind and your conscious mind get to work and put actions in place every day that gets that number to come through. And I think you'll be amazed. The universe opens up in front of you, but you've got to spot and accept when doors are closing and reach for the doors and walk through them. So it's about being decisive as well. When you've done the Maths and you get those numbers, accept the numbers because they give you a pathway to change your life and to pivot, and it's okay to pivot again in the future if the numbers change. But that’s what gave me the road map.”

"I made the decision to jump off that entrepreneurial ledge, which was incredibly intimidating at the time… But, I was so compelled to see what was on the other side of fear, which was leaving full time, gainful, fantastic employment and chase a dream"
In today's episode, we have Ant Duckworth, the co-founder of Dear Coco.
I’ve been following Ant’s journey and the evolution of ‘Dear Coco’, his award winning coffee truck, since the dream started. We all have these tiny ideas, small dreams, but how many of us decide to take action and step into trying, and giving it a go.
Ant shares the moment he decided to go for it, and how he now navigates each step to be very intentional with where his business goes. He shares the importance of setting rules and guiding values for yourself - he has his Five Codes he lives by. The first rule being ‘owning the dark’ - the concept of acknowledging the most defining, meaningful work happens in the dark away from the spotlight when no one is watching.
Ant has made that corporate to entrepreneur leap, from director at American Express to owner of a coffee truck in a side street in London. Dear Coco is growing, and continues to make its mark in the competitive coffee market. It's a story to encourage you to take tiny steps to action your small flickering flame of an idea, and when the moment is right, back yourself to make it happen.
Here are the highlights:
06:05 Launched renowned coffee truck as side hustle.
10:19 From surfing to serving London's best coffee from a truck.
20:43 Coffee truck work: it’s hard, challenging but extremely rewarding.
31:10 Maximize life through personal code and improvement.
36:06 Relatability attracts non-coffee followers online.
43:48 Confront fears; make the jump despite resistance.
The things that helped Ant navigate change.
Music: Jack Johnson
The one piece of advice: “There is something great and powerful sitting on the other side of fear. Maybe fear is stopping you from reaching out and grabbing the door handle and walking through. But know that there is something very valuable on the other side of that fear for you.”
More about Ant
Ant is Founder & CEO of Dear Coco Coffee, former International Marketing Director for American Express, Australian surfer, father of three daughters and coffee lover.
Ant spent 16 years leading International Experiential Marketing teams within some of the world’s most powerful brands. In 2021, during a global pandemic Ant built Dear Coco as a side hustle to his corporate career. He built the business as a love letter to his youngest daughter, Coco.
In three years, Dear Coco became the world’s most popular and successful coffee truck, with a cult local and global following. It is the most followed coffee truck in the world on Instagram.
Ant is now full-time Founder & CEO growing venture-backed Dear Coco into the world's next great coffee company and enabling other coffee entrepreneurs.

"My big door closing moment was when I was made redundant in the pandemic with 2 small children who were 1 and 3, and thought I would never get a good job again.”
Turing adversity into opportunity. In today's episode I’m talking to Elizabeth Willetts, founder of Investing in Women. Elizabeth’s company grows from strength to strength, if you follow her on socials she is smashing it. But that wasn’t always the case - and, like many success stories, starts when a door is slammed shut.

Elizabeth shares her navigation of overcoming challenges, from grappling with imposter syndrome to tackling the technical hurdles of starting a business. With insights from nearly 20 years in recruitment, Elizabeth also discusses her forthcoming book "Flex," aiming to help others achieve career success on their terms.
"The journey from redundancy to creating my own business wasn't straightforward, but recognising my unique experience in recruitment became a vital pivot point. This inspired me to launch 'Investing in Women', and my upcoming book, 'Flex', shares exactly how you can have career success on your own terms."

04:34 Realisation of redundancy took several months
06:49 Wanted part-time job; started home business instead

In this special solo episode, it's just you and me pondering the intricacies of navigating change. The past few years I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs, and so in this chat I'm sharing my reflections on pausing, embracing messiness, playing with ideas, and the power of trying. We'll also explore the concept of restarting with a fresh perspective, anchored in self-care and gentle intention.
Join me as I explore these themes, offering insights and tools to help you face uncertainty and thrive through change. This framework is part of my upcoming book, all about how to navigate change.
Let’s roll up our sleeves and embrace the messiness of change together.
"The answer is never in the panic. The answer is always from a really slowed down intentional space, when you know exactly what you want and you’ve figured out how you're going to get it."

"Career transitions may feel uncertain, but aligning your daily actions with your core values can guide you through any ambiguity. It's not about having every step mapped out; it's about being directionally correct and consistent in your efforts."
This episode I’m with Micheal Glassocks who shares his career shifts, aligning work with personal values and the power of being "directionally correct”.
Michael discusses his transitions from a successful role in project management in the NHS to project managing a new career as a coach, prompted by his father’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
We discuss how people around you react when you are changing, how there are often a few wrong moves in change before the ‘right’ one and how having one goal can help focus you - Michael shares his goal of ‘coach every day until 80’.
His story is filled with valuable insights and lessons for anyone considering a career change or looking for more alignment in their professional lives.
"The reason why I'm very good at switching into a growth mindset, is because of the practice and the past experiences of it I've had. The way I've built confidence in most of the things I've done is by doing them.”
Here are the highlights:
03:25 Career transition after personal and professional realizations.
07:01 Experiencing disconnect between career progress and enjoyment.
10:49 Confidence grows with directionally correct actions.
19:10 Growth mindset through practice and past experiences.
20:56 Emotions are data; use them for decisions.
26:07 Practical exercise: envision your ideal gravestone message.

The One Piece of Advice: “Look at anybody who's deemed in a societal sense as successful, they've been consistent in the actions they've taken and they've always been curious. They're always learning, not just more about themselves, but about the industry, the business that they're operating in. If you can be consistent and always be curious, that will stand you in good stead.”
More about Michael
Michael has a notable background in the NHS, specialising in Project and Programme Management. Despite thriving in this role, a significant life event in 2021—his father's diagnosis with Alzheimer's—prompted Michael to reassess his career and life goals, ultimately steering him towards a more fulfilling path in coaching.
In 2022, Michael became an ICF-approved coach, adding a credible and structured framework to his coaching practice. His experience extends beyond the NHS to supporting small businesses with start-ups, launches, and attracting investments for organic growth. Known for his positive and easy-going demeanor, Michael adopts an informal yet professional approach, guiding, supporting, and challenging his clients to achieve their career ambitions and live a meaningful life.

The One Piece of Advice: “I think when you choose or you're pulled through a door, you can almost certainly expect that whatever needs to be healed is going to show itself. So often you'll go through something and you're like, right, I'm on my new path, this is exciting. And then, something will happen. And you're like, are you actually kidding? But almost certainly that is happening for a reason because that is going to heal something within you that will then take you further on your path.”

"The whole time I could have left but I just wanted to believe so much that it was the right thing for me."
What happens when you don’t get joy from your job anymore? I’m talking to Claire Fitzsimmons, co-founder of ‘If lost start here’. She shares her journey of closing a door on what was perceived as a ‘dream job’ in the art world and following her heart into the well-being world. We also talk about her Mum’s struggle with mental health and how it led Claire to starting a business where they create a unique "well-being prescription" designed to navigate life with creativity and joy. She also opens up about her struggles fitting into traditional roles and redefining what is important. Her story offers us invaluable lessons on embracing change and finding fulfilment.
“I just love the feeling of walking through a gallery and then being around the art and I still love that. I think that's why it was so hard to let go of because it felt really good, but what I hadn't understood was what my role in it would be, and who I had to be in that environment.”
Here are the highlights:
05:41 The struggle of leaving a beloved art world job
12:12 Monetising passions can diminish the joy
13:39 Prioritising personal curiosity over external expectations
17:57 Exploring my mother’s story to understand my own
23:53 Navigating external advice vs. internal connection
27:54 Creative spaces make therapy accessible and engaging
34:42 Different needs: nature connection, and a spiritual practice
37:09 Create your own life guide with support

The one piece of advice: “Feel your way through change and I say that because I often do work around emotions with people and it's often the missing piece.”

“If it's consulting for forever, then it's consulting for forever. But at least be the captain of your own ship and being curious about what it would be like to be the captain of my own ship.”
I am talking to Dr. Enya Doyle, known as the ‘Harassment Doctor’. Enya’s closing door was the moment she decided to leave academia and start her own consultancy. Enya shares her career journey, starting from her academic roots in gender and classical music to becoming a leading consultant in anti-harassment and inclusion.
The conversation is about seeing opportunity when it feels like there isn't, see something that needs addressed and decide to do something about it. I found it empowering to listen to her motivations and drive. Enya talks about the ‘Finding yourself’ moment - after spending so long living in the identity of ‘being smart’ to deciding to do ‘smart’ differently, bringing with her all that curiosity and love for learning into her next door opening.
Enya discusses the pivotal moments that shaped her path, from completing her PhD and confronting the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdowns to navigating personal health struggles and eventually establishing her own consultancy. Her story is a testament to the power of curiosity, adaptability, and the importance of doing "the next right thing."
And an impressive reference to Disney films the whole way through our chat!
"Focus on doing the next right thing for yourself, rather than being overly concerned with long-term plans or others' expectations."
Here are the highlights:
04:54 Academia fosters curiosity and lifelong learning.
11:14 Grew up during the Northern Ireland conflict.
15:58 Surround yourself with supportive, like-minded people who uplift you.
21:28 Assume the best; people have diverse perspectives.
24:14 Arts organisations must protect freelancers and contractors.
29:17 NHS is thorough; many people often misunderstood.
31:03 Embracing self-employment; flexible, and fulfilling work journey.

The one piece of advice: “In Frozen 2, there is a song called ‘Do the next right thing’. I think we spend a lot of our lives being told about five year plans. For me, you just got to do the next right thing. Take the next step. Do the next thing that's right for you.”

“What if I could author my life the way I want it to be? What would that look like? And the more I started to think about that it was, you know, not working for anybody. It was creating my own spaces, creating my own company where I get to do the things I really care about, and where I can structure it”
Join me talking to Glenn Block, whose journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship is packed with valuable lessons and insights, and stories of how getting it wrong on the first go can turn out to be OK! Glenn shares the moment he decided to close a door on working in ‘big tech’ and launch not one but two of his own businesses. We discuss the magic of having unfiltered conversations with people when you first have an idea, our love of books and the importance of watching out for your mental health during life changes.
"Leaving corporate politics felt like closing the door on a toxic relationship; it was a necessary step towards reclaiming my mental health and professional integrity."
Here are the highlights:
06:47 MBA led to realisation: Leave the corporate for new opportunities.
20:39 Enjoying flexibility and fulfillment outside corporate environment.
22:30 Launched business in 2023; in a struggling economy.
30:01 ADHD's hyperfocus can lead to extreme productivity.
33:10 Learned more being self-employed than in a corporate job.

“Until that moment I had never left a job with nothing to go to. I've always had something lined up. So this time I was like, Iesha, what are you gonna do? I had no idea. And that was perfectly OK. I had to trust myself”
Today's guest, Iesha Small, shares her journey from engineering to the world of education to her current role as Head of Comms, and now encouraging others with her writing and coaching.
We talk about the twists and turns of career change, and pivoting. Where you aren't always sure what your next move is, but you make it anyway.
Sometimes doors close for us, and we have to decide what to do next, other times we are closing that door for ourselves, and we are in full ownership of why it’s important and what we want next.
Iesha shares her thoughts and ponders in a brilliant weekly blog, and takes the pressure and perfection out of career changing.
"What's the point of achieving all this stuff if it is not gelling with what you actually think is important in life?"
Here are the highlights:
11:19 First time quitting a job without backup.
16:26 Decided to take breaks and rest intuitively.
20:59 Serendipitous job came from conversations during time off.
25:20 Started career pivot talks on LinkedIn.
31:42 Choose family time over earning more money.
32:26 Intentional career shift after realising future uncertainty.

"I just started to ask myself, as many people do ‘Do I want to do this for another 20 years? Is there something else?’. I got curious, maybe there are some other doors I want to look through and maybe it's time to shut this door and find out."
Does a dream job really exist? We’re joined by the seasoned journalist and career coach Rachel Schofield to talk about ‘dream jobs’. We explore the themes of unearthing core passions, overcoming imposter syndrome, and finding stability amidst the chaos of change. And what if you have, on paper, a dream job, but have a feeling there might be something else you want to do?
Rachel shares her own story from a 20-year career at the BBC to creating a new career in coaching and training, offering insights and practical advice for anyone starting a new career chapter. Listen to rediscover joy in your work and the permission to experiment and try new things.
“Maybe I'll go up to that tree house and see what's behind that door. Just go and take tiny little steps of experimentation. In career terms that might mean, I've often thought I'd like to do X. So let me go and talk to someone who does it. I've often thought it would be fun to be a graphic designer. So between now and Christmas, I'm going to do a weekly evening class at my local further education college. I don't have to be ready to upend my whole world. I'm just going to go and play.”
Here are the highlights:
04:15 Doubts arose about a lifelong TV news presenting career.
07:23 Career transitions evoke mixed emotions and considerations.
12:00 Transitioned from news to coaching; misses presenting.
18:56 Repurpose experience; embrace new directions confidently.
20:54 Juggling journalism, coaching and presentation training.
25:32 Embrace challenges; expertise grows through experience.
31:38 Coffee chat led to a book opportunity.
34:07 Social media fosters envy; practice graciousness instead.
36:45 Being last doesn't necessarily mean you failed.

Music: ‘Closer to Fine’ by the Indigo Girls.
The one piece of advice:
"When you're thinking about particularly a career shift...really lean into experimentation. So rather than thinking you need to sit there and figure it all out...just think maybe I'll just knock on that blue door over there. Maybe I'll just look in that little tiny door that looks like a fairy door at the bottom of the tree."

“The problem with having ‘a corporate hangover’ is that it doesn't allow you to be authentically yourself. And in order to be a successful business owner, you need to be authentically yourself.”
On this episode we have Sarah Clarke, who closed a door on a corporate career after being made redundant and discovering she was pregnant for a second time. Sarah shares how motherhood and the redundancy gave her the impetus to start her own business. She now helps women start and grow their businesses as "The Happy Startup Coach."

04:26 Enjoying work, learning, culture change, OD and got the bug.
11:00 Taking a three-month contract to cover maternity pay after redundancy.

Content Warning: This episode mentions attempted suicide and despair.
“If you put me back 13 years ago when I was going to run my car into a tree I never ever would have believed that this life I have right now is possible. I would have called you absolutely fucking bonkers to ever thought that was possible." Andy Coley
In today's episode, we have Andy Coley, who shares his story of his “epic life fail” as Life took over, ‘wrong’ decisions, foggy thinking, where everything felt out of control in the pursuit of being in full control. Andy shares the moment he felt like there was only one way out of it, and the moment he realised there was a better way.
We talk about how our inner voice can beat ourselves up, create unwanted noise, the constant chatter and how clarity comes in amongst the confusion. Andy shares how he found a new path through coaching and neuro linguistic programming (NLP), but it wasn't without the ups and downs of navigating a transformative journey.
Andy shares how being in control is sometimes more about letting go, and knowing you can trust yourself, rather than keeping a tight grip that is surfacing your progress.
“Don’t let life happen to you, be in control, but not so tight it hinders”
Here are the highlights:
05:35 Struggled with suicidal thoughts, found hope and support.
07:55 Inner turmoil and self-doubt overcome with help.
11:40 Seeking help and support to overcome debt.
16:02 Struggling business turned around through coaching and NLP.
18:32 Discussing the importance of therapy and coaching for help.
25:10 Struggled at boot camp, but found support.

The one piece of advice:
“Get support and perspective. Find someone who's a good listener, not a good teller. Or journal, get it out of your head…just write it. Set your intentions for your future. Your unconscious mind needs some direction. What is it you'd love to have happen? What would you like it to be like in a year's time from where you are right now? Don’t be afraid to have bold goals for yourself. They are a signal to yourself that you mean it”.

“I know that burnout is preventable. I know that every single one of us can take steps to prevent it and to avoid it. I will say, perhaps somewhat oddly, for some of us, we have to get to that point of burnout in order for us to make the changes. I want to make burnout not be a thing, because we never reach it"
In today's episode is Kelly Swingler, ‘the burnoutologist’ and author of Mind The Gap: A Story of Burnout, Breakthrough and Beyond. Kelly shares her moment of burnout in a high pressure HR corporate role, and how she is now on a mission to banish burnout altogether as a place we never get to.
We explore the nuances of burnout, exploring the importance of preventative measures, introspection, and redefining success beyond material gains. We cover the significance of self-care, identity, and re-evaluating your values to prevent burnout. But most importantly we share an optimism than burnout does not need to be a thing.
"Who am I at my core? What are my values, my passions, my drivers, my strengths, what gets me out of bed in the morning? What motivates me? The closer we can get to that, the further away from burnout."
Here are the highlights:
01:39 Burnout can show up in our lives in so many different ways.
09:07 Plans changed, unexpected family expansion, and I faced an uncertain future.
11:29 Recognised the need to help others.
16:56 Clients feeling broken due to burnout.
30:16 If you are struggling with burnout, seek help from professionals.
48:08 Toxic power dynamics lead to stress and burnout.
53:17 Staying aligned prevents burnout from taking over.

The one piece of advice: “I would invite you to sit with the question. Who are you? And either…sit with a friend and just sit and ask the question or sit and journal with it? Speak it into your phone. Do it with a team member. Do it with a loved one. Do it with a child, family member, partner, whoever. “
About Kelly

"I was doing far too much and I had been doing far too much as long as I could remember. I didn't know the word burnout still at that point in time but I was burnt out and I needed to make a drastic change."
In today's episode, we're joined by the incredible Tamu Thomas, who brings her wisdom and heart-centred approach to self-growth and healing.
Tamu shares her story of transitioning from a high pressure, high stress career to a life more aligned with her core values, and a life filled with more joy. A move sparked by her battles with depression, anxiety, and a powerful wake-up call during a panic attack. We talk about her latest book, "Women Who Work Too Much," which is a rallying cry for women (actually anyone can read this and resonate!) to see their true selves beyond societal expectations.
I loved the poetic and affirming notes in her book that seek to connect directly with the heart, and support you to break free from a toxic work culture. So often we don’t realise we are in that cycle, or that we have options.
So join us for a deeply inspirational and soothing conversation about breaking free, finding our own rhythm, and embracing the beautiful messiness of life.
"I thought there's no way in the world I am robbing my child of a vibrant, energetic, joyful mother. I want to make sure that I am role modelling for her something different, a ‘new form of womanhood’."
Here are the highlights:
04:44 Struggling single mum vows to work for herself.
07:38 Overcoming panic, burnout, and seeking personal growth.
10:11 Supporting women to work less, live more.

“Starting something new is really exciting, and closing one door on something that doesn't serve you or make you happy anymore is very good for your mind, body, and spirit.”
Claire Winter is the creative force behind the Creatrix Journey and Winter Audio and she shares her journey of embracing joy and ease in her work after closing the door on a successful but exhausting content marketing business to curating walking and creative writing experiences and co-founding a podcast production agency.
We talk about tricky mid-life transitions, surviving burn out, and testing new ventures.
Get ready for a deep conversation about finding freedom, the messy bits in between, and the intentional shifts we can make to close a door with no regrets.
"So all the things that I've built and learned, storytelling, how to write great headlines, how to express yourself, how to find what your unique talents are and share them with the world. I'm able to bring them to the work that I do and all of it feels aligned. It feels joyful."
Or
“Creating for the joy of it, not because you have to."
Here are the highlights:
04:02 Self-employment journey involves many twists and turns.
07:02 Being self-employed has it challenges.
12:43 Transition from content marketing to soul-led creativity.
14:11 Creating and holding space for others to create
18:26 Listen to the body's signals, find fulfillment in work.
20:53 Consider what you need and overcome fear.

“It is never what happens to you, it’s how you react to it”
On this episode Andrea McLean, media coach and presenter, joins us to talk about early career doors that open and close for us that lead us, often unexpectedly, to define where our career goes. We talk about when life feels like a hall of mirrors, accidental careers, the people around us in moments of change, losing your dream job and not letting fear get in the way,
Andrea’s refreshing philosophy of saying yes and going with the flow is a good reminder to be open to opportunities, even if they don’t quite fit what you had in mind.
“Ask the question - will I regret saying no, why wouldn’t I say yes?”
Here are the highlights:
04:31 Mistakenly applied for a weather presenter job.
08:36 Editor resisted leaving for a new weather presenter job.
14:16 Overcoming challenges and taking calculated risks.
19:07 Sudden job loss caused confusion and disappointment.
22:54 Invited for an interview due to mistaken identity.
29:11 Every decision is personal, even in business.
43:59 A resilient person keeps bouncing back from failure.
45:39 Preparing for the worst-case scenarios can reduce fear.
48:13 Fear is a tiger; learn to walk alongside it.
57:11 Take small manageable steps for more progress.

The one piece of advice: “They say to take life one step at a time. I think too often we try to take 2 bigger steps. And if you visualise it this way, when you try and take a massive stride, you're so out of balance and you're so likely to fall over because you've taken this huge step. Whereas actually if you just take small manageable steps you will make so much more progress and you'll be so much more sure footed in what you're doing than trying to take huge big steps. So my bit of advice would be to relax. Don't think that every step you take needs to be massive.”

SUMO has been used extensively around the world. It equips people with the insights, inspiration and practical tools to achieve better results in life, whilst having more fun in the process.
It’s an acronym that depending on the context can stand for ‘Shut Up, Move On’ or ‘Stop, Understand, Move On’. Interestingly, in Latin, SUMO can mean ‘Choose’ and at the heart of our work, is a desire to help people make wise and better choices – not only in their professional lives, but their personal lives also.
Just why are you hoarding toilet rolls? Yes we are in scary times, so to make sense and offer some really good advice that goes beyond staying calm and carrying on, I am joined by Tom Oxley.

About Marshall Jefferson
Sometimes known as the father of house music, Jefferson was originally a record producer in the Universal Recording Studios in Chicago, where he met the owner of Trax Records, Larry Sherman. Jefferson's 1986 single for Trax, "Move Your Body (The House-Music Anthem), - the first house song to use piano, was a popular and influential song in the genre.
During the late-1980s heyday of house music he recorded solo and collaborative material under various names such as Virgo, Jungle Wonz, Truth, and On The House. Jefferson's deep house productions include songs by CeCe Rogers and Sterling Void, and Ten City's first two albums.
"Move Your Body" appeared in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on house-music radio station SF-UR. This song also appeared in Michael Winterbottom's film 24 Hour Party People and in the 1991 documentary film Paris is Burning. (Source Wiki)
