  There's something magnetic about people who follow joy like it's their inner compass. Anka is one of those people, and when we connected (very recently), I knew this was a conversation I wanted to have. In this episode, I chat with Anka, an ocean swimmer, traveller and German TV reporter who splits her time between Europe and Perth. We talk about what happens when you stop playing it safe and start saying yes to the things that light you up. Inside this conversation: How Anka found instant community through ocean swimming Growing up in rainy Germany and how it shaped her resilience Creating a life that follows the seasons Why you don't need the full plan before you take the leap The joy of movement, connection and shared coffees after a swim A shared love of cookbooks, culture and pomegranates And why “goodbye” isn't in Anka's vocab If you're craving adventure, connection, or just know you need ‘something different', this episode will give you that nudge to trust your curiosity and choose joy - even when it makes no sense on paper.

    In this episode, Charlotte Rooney and I dive into what it means to balance being an impactful leader while also having a life you love. We explore how leadership isn't just about being in charge but also about empowering others and making time for yourself, which can actually reduce stress and boost your happiness.   Key Points:   Redefining Leadership: Charlotte shares her thoughts on what it really means to be a leader. It's not just about being the boss; it's about inspiring and motivating your team towards a common goal. 8:03   Delegation and Empowerment: Charlotte talks about how true leadership involves delegating tasks and empowering your team, not trying to do everything yourself.

'If you don't think you have time to meditate, you need to meditate', is a quote I heard way before I started meditating regularly, and one I've always remembered. In this solo episode, I focus is on the whole meditation thing, breaking down its perks backed by science, my own experiences and those of my coaching clients, while also tackling the hurdles you, yourself might face. I stress the importance of just being there, in the moment, and not expecting too much. It can begin with short moments of stillness, literally seconds, and become it part of your everyday rituals.  It gets personal too, sharing how meditation isn't just about getting organised but also about letting go and simplifying things to find your zen, which is where I began.

Since being less serious is something I'm a HUGE advocate for, this was a must have conversation with Lisa Twohig (too=ig).   What a delight!   After 20 years in a corporate career in the engineering sector, Lisa ditched her job and left behind the 'serious' hat to pursue a career in online marketing and is leading the way in being lighthearted and FUN online (and in real life).   You'll learn -how Lisa spends her mornings and gets her creative juices flowing -ways to stop being someone you're not and show up authentically -why you don't have to be a comedian to create engaging social media -how to speak from your heart -the real meaning of connection -why your values matter -how to use AI (artificial intelligence) to enhance your business (using real examples) -what it means to be intuitively guided   Whilst Lisa helps entrepreneurs market their business in a lighthearted way, you don't have to be a business owner to enjoy this episode.   Lisa Twohig is a visibility and content coach, who lives in Brisbane with her husband, two teenage boys, a super fluffy cat, and a wild possum called Gary.   She's obsessed with encouraging women to ditch their 'professional voice', and can often be found sharing mildly inappropriate posts on Facebook and totally inappropriate stories in her emails.     You can follow Lisa in these places https://lisatwohig.mykajabi.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/lisatcoaching and grab her freebie 'Find out what your Ideal Clients REALLY want' here https://www.lisatwohig.com/idealclientwants
