You're a talented and competent actor enormously excited to be in a touring production of one of the longest running plays in London's history - The Mouse Trap. You're successful and your career is taking off. And then boom! It's all whipped away from under your feet. Few of us can truly imagine what that must feel like and how you have to draw on so many skills and emotions to rise up, come through it and find positivity. Some of us may well have experienced something similar and will identify strongly with Francesca too.Listen to this warming and mesmerising interview with Francesca Peplow. She describes how she responded to overnight unexpected and unwelcome change and how she has truly pivoted in retraining and finding a new niche for herself that still embraces acting and means she will emerge into our changed reality with even more skills in demand. We, all of us, have to find ways to emerge, thrive and flourish in whatever is coming next, the changes that are already here and the ones to come. To move forward with strength, courage and resilience.#emerging #adaptability #actor #story #resilience #courage See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to our Bite-sized episode from our Emerging series! This is a mini episode where I'll be talking about some of the skills and tips that have helped our interviewees from the creative and performing arts. Last week I spoke to the lovely actor Emmy Happisburgh about how she has handled having so much taken away from her as a result of the pandemic - not just her work and life's passion but her health too as she struggles with long-COVID. From having a mental health toolkit to dancing and being grateful, Emmy has so much to teach us all about how to become more resilient and strong.In this mini episode I touch on three strategies she has used which you can use too. If you're feeling a little demotivated, a little meh or just want some inspiration, have a listen. And if you missed last week's interview with Emmy catch up with it here too!#resilience #mentalhealth #gratitude #actor #performingarts #theshowmustgoon See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Don't miss this inspiring and uplifting interview with the delightful actor Emmy Happisburgh. Emmy talks about the reality of becoming ill with COVID herself, losing all of her work overnight and how she has coped - particularly the importance of having a strong mental health toolkit. I absolutely love this idea - that we create this for ourselves and actively have strategies that we use each and every day.Hugely resilient, Emmy has continued working and creating and like many actors, has found this to be nurturing and crucial for moving forward positively. She talks of the roaring Twenties and how, as we start to emerge from this pandemic, there will be an outpouring of creative need - both in terms of audiences wanting to experience theatre again (or in my case desperate to!) and in actors and theatres wanting to perform and showcase new media and new pieces.We can all learn so much from this interview. Homeschooling, for Emmy, second time around has been something she has fully embraced as in the first lockdown she was too ill. But also having to accept that "for this time I am mum and housewife and that's ok" - we find it so hard to accept our current reality but Emmy gives us great examples of how we CAN do that and probably must.Listen now - or watch on Unimenta YouTube where there are additional fun clips of Emmy and her work. Emmy Happisburgh trained at The Poor School (Acting), Guildford School of Acting (Musical Theatre) and with Complicite (Physical Theatre) and has been a professional theatre and screen actor for over twenty years. Emmy has played leads and supporting roles in numerous theatre productions including the title role in “Harper Regan” last year at the Tabard Theatre in which her performance was “Mesmerising” (Spy in the stalls), “Excellent in this demanding role” (London Pub Theatres) and “A tour de force… leading with elegance and raw energy that scorches throughout” (The Play’s The Thing).Predominantly a screen actor, Emmy’s roles include Judy in multi-award winning short “The River” and the part of Sylvia in short film "Leaves for the Moon" by Dhruv Bhatnagar for which she won the BEST ACTRESS AWARD at Westminster Film Festival 2019.TV credits include featured roles in BBC 1 “Casualty”, Netflix “Murder Maps” and feature “Ghost” on Amazon.Emmy also writes and produces and co-founded theatre company Contentment Productions in 2018.#resilience #actor #crisis #mentalhealth #wellbeing #adaptability See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Welcome to our very first Bite-sized episode from our Emerging series! This is a mini episode where I'll be talking about some of the skills and tips that have helped our interviewees from the creative and performing arts. Last week I spoke to the lovely art student and poet Elaoise Benson about how she has handled having so much taken away from her as a result of the pandemic. Elaoise speaks candidly of struggling with anxiety and the many hurdles she has successfully navigated to not only cope but really thrive.In this mini episode I touch on three strategies she has used which you can use too. If you're feeling a little demotivated, a little meh or just want some inspiration, have a listen. And if you missed last week's interview with Elaoise catch up with it here too!#artstudent #pandemic #thriving #mentalhealth #wellbeing #bitesized #emerging See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You're just going to LOVE this episode! I interview the beautiful and talented Ms Elaoise Benson, a second year art student at the prestigious St Martins Central School of Art in London. This interview kicks off the new Emerging series where I'm talking to artists, musicians, singers, actors and performers of all kinds to invite them to tell their stories and talk about the skills that have helped them and are helping them through numerous setbacks. I think we all have something we can learn from the way others, and especially those in the performing arts and creative industries, have responded to adversity and more importantly, how they are adapting and thriving even after major change and heartache.Listen to this and be inspired. It's a great way to start your day. Elaoise even read us one of her poems at the end and if you're watching the video of this episode on YouTube, you're in for a treat as the video features a little performance art too!#performance #emerging #artists #poets #actors #musicians #resilience #adaptability #7skillsforthefutureFind Elaoise on ebenson_art on Instagram See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Delighted to be introducing the brand new Series 8 today! I’m proud to be presenting this new season - EMERGING. We're also introducing brand new podcast original music and every episode will now also be available to WATCH on YouTube too. With this I really wanted to focus on artists, performers, dancers, singers, musicians and song writers. These professions have been so badly hit by the pandemic that I just know that people within this industry really do have so much to teach us about how to thrive and adapt. I was interested in featuring their stories, of how they’ve adapted to the unfolding crisis and in particular, if and how their craft has changed in response to the pandemic- ie if they’ve ended up composing differently or creating different kinds of art or performance or music to express the situation. We know that it’s the artists, the musicians, the poets, the singers, the performers who have often been best at expressing the most turbulent moments in our history and I’m so excited, humbled and honoured to be able to introduce you to some absolutely amazing people.In between these interviews I’ll be highlighting some of the main skills and qualities our wonderful interviewees have developed or strengthened during these times and how you can do the same in your own life, regardless of your background or what you do.#artists #musicians #actors #performers #musicians #singers #theatre #pandemic #adaptability #resilience #7skillsforthefuture See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

After studying homeopathy and running a general clinic for a number of years, Chelsea saw an increasing need to support women who were struggling with hormone imbalance.

On this week’s episode I’m talking with Anne Golden hospitality industry veteran and General Manager of Pan Pacific London, opening next year. Now we all know that the hospitality industry, in particular, has been so severely hit by the pandemic. Perhaps it sounds crazy that anyone is even thinking of launching a brand new hotel in central London in early 2021. I speak with Anne about truly rising up and finding energy and hope in the middle o great uncertainty. Anne is inspirational and what she has to say is just as important for all other industries seeking to rise up and perhaps, in many ways, reinvent themselves. What are some of the lessons we are learning? How can we build resilience? And what does rising up really mean? It’s something we are all having to do as we get ready to face a new year that will be a mix of new hope, heartache and change as we transition to what I think WILL be a new and exciting era of opportunity if we can learn to see it that way!Seasoned hotelier Anne Golden joins Pan Pacific London as General Manager, overseeing the first London opening for Pan Pacific Hotels Group. With considerable London experience working with luxury brands such as Morgans Hotel Group – the original boutique lifestyle brand and hotel disruptor – and Mondrian, Anne has successfully managed new hotel openings and pioneered rebrandings. Through her painstaking attention to detail, vast experience and dedication, she has supported her teams to ensure the hotels were swiftly established as some of the best performing hotels in London. #hotel #hospitality #luxury #panpacifichotel #annegolden #resilience #bouncing back See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I believe that so much of building strong mental health and resilience lies in our hands. For me it’s about self-awareness more than anything else. An ability to understand what triggers you, why you might feel overwhelmed sometimes but also being able to feel good about yourself and have good relationships with others. I think it’s something quite active rather than just the state of your mental health if that makes sense. So you have strategies in place - you practice self-care and acceptance and you have healthy ways of processing your emotions.Resilience is your ability to manage stress and uncertainty well. To be able to bounce back but this doesn’t mean that you don’t experience frustration, upset and disappointment - you do but you don’t stay down for long. You know how to get back up fast. Resilient people never think of themselves as victims – they focus their time and energy on changing the things that they have control over.Join me on this week's podcast episode for lots of tips and ideas for building resilience and mental health. We need to do this now more than ever as we start to move towards what is coming next as we start seeing an end to the pandemic.“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before. You can fight it, you can do nothing but scream about what you've lost, or you can accept that and try to put together something that's good.” ― Elizabeth Edwards#resilience #mentalhealth #awareness #7skillsforthefuture #wellbeing See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

What do trading and immunology have in common with building resilience and adaptability? A lot, it turns out. Chris joins us on this episode from Melbourne, Australia for a fascinating look at being far more comfortable with being wrong and not knowing all the answers. We also talk about the importance of sitting and pausing with anxiety and difficult thoughts rather than always rushing towards distraction. It's so important to create space to reflect and to process change and to really know that everything, even this crazy pandemic, is temporary.When we are faced with uncertainty and stress, what we find hardest is a sense of loss of power. Chris says that as long as we are above ground and breathing we always have choices and decisions that we can make. Focusing on what you can control is so key.What determines your resilience is what narrative you construct with the future that is now unfolding. Tomorrow is always opaque and we can never know what it brings. Listen now for some great tips and ideas to help you process all this uncertainty and start looking towards tomorrow with hope and strength.#resilience #mentalhealth #stressaware #podcast #7skillsforthefutureChris Tate (www.tradinggame.com.au) is a full-time private trader and author of The Art of Trading and The Art of Options Trading.

It's one thing to seek balance and work from home one or two days a week - it's completely different when it's now your default method of working. And there is no end in sight... Back in March we were catapulted into it. Now it's a slow-burn suffocating slog. For people who were used to being in an actual office and interacting with colleagues, WFH felt euphoric at first and now - anything but. SO - this episode is all about how to deal with a situation where working from homes goes and on and on and get to a place where we are productive and engaged. First, we need to acknowledge what we are experiencing emotionally and practically.I talk about really tangible and practical ways you can supercharge your working from home experience, be productive find renewed balance and energy.#WFH #balance #workingfromhome #pandemic #office #workplace See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

I’ve been talking about embracing uncertainty and change, finding ways to THRIVE within it and on this episode I’m speaking with Susan Saunders about her book the Age-Well project Easy Ways to a Longer, Healthier and Happier Life and specifically great tips and actions for building resilience and strength. Susan Saunders is co-author with Annabel Streets and together they are on a mission to encourage us all to plan ahead to be really healthy as we get older. I’ve just had a birthday so this is also on my mind but I also KNOW that how we look after ourselves, our bodies, our minds has a huge impact on our ability to be resilient, confident and strong. These are all super important and how we experience getting older and nurturing health and happiness are OUR choice - WE are responsible for our future health and our health - mentally and physically right now. Susan and I discuss what rising up means to her, and lots of practical ideas and tips for building and nurturing resilience.
