Life Made Better

How many times do we miss the magic of everyday life? Just because we are so engrossed in the glossy filter. The film industry has the best storytellers, but the charities have the best stories. These are what we talked about with our guest this week, Chris Payne. Chris Payne is the producer and director of Constellation Films, which he created in 2012 to help nonprofits better engage with their audiences. The company is called Constellation because they're a virtual network of connected filmmakers seeking to offer agency standard films without all the overheads. _______________________________________________ You can find Chris Payne at IG: @constellationfilms Website: http://www.constellationfilms.co.uk/ To connect with us: contact@wearepeac.com www.wearepeac.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbestlifebypeac

When it comes to changing careers paths, pay isn't the No. 1 motivator. Yes, it is! I believe somehow you agree.

What's the connection between your inner-self, emotional well-being, and astrology?✨

What is #consciousleadership: Why it is important? People are craving depth and human-to-human connection now more than ever, meaning the expectation is rising for authenticity, vulnerability, and relationship-based interactions. We're shifting away from a hyper-masculine way of operating into a more balanced way of having healthy structures with the spaciousness to flow and feel creative. And this is what we talked about with our guest this week, Michelle Ryan @the.holistic.leaders Michelle (Shell) has 13 years of experience in business development, executive account management, leadership, team coaching and career development, mentorship.

This week our guest is Donna Morgan, an integrative body therapist, somatic worker and coach. Her focus is integrating mind, body, and emotions and has been working in the field of bodywork for 27 years. Her philosophy, which we discussed in the episode, is that our mind, body, and emotions are like three musical notes. Often we play them separately and can become very skilled at one of the notes but deaf to the others. For instance, the use of the mind is often given more value than intuition, body sense or emotion. When we use all three in life, we become familiar with all the “musical notes” giving us many more possibilities, options, and skills to face the challenges that life brings. This means we are less likely to become overwhelmed and more resilient and at peace within ourselves. It is like we begin to play chords rather than just notes and life can feel fuller and in better flow. Another aspect of her work is looking at which survival skills we have developed earlier in life but which are now inhibiting rather than helping us. All our survival strategies were built in wisdom and intelligence (that is why we are still here!) but if they become a sticking point then they haven't been integrated and can create internal conflict and overwhelm. Donna also has a wonderful workshop coming up (starts on February 13th!) about leaving out (of) love, to find our more and connect with Donna please reach out at donnagaylemorgan@gmail.com And you can connect with us at: contact@wearepeac.com www.wearepeac.com https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbestlifebypeac

You've heard us talking about teenagers and the struggles they have faced most recently, particularly since the pandemic hit us. We thought it was time we spoke to one fo them to truly understand and hear in their own words what living in the current world means for them, and we could have not spoken to someone more kind, courageous, grounded than Pearl Prime. Pearl was kind enough to open her heart and speak candidly about her struggles and the struggles teenagers face broadly speaking. From social media to comparison and loosing touch with your friends, hers is a journey of understanding herself, the world she lives in and how we (each and every one of us) play a role in the way we move forward. We know young adults and teenagers are a group hardly hit nowadays, so please, if this resonates with you and feel you are struggling and in need of help, know you are not alone and you do not have to do this alone. Reach out, to friends, family, loved ones... or a professional, but please do not struggle in silence. We would love to help: contact@wearepeac.com To connect with us: https://www.instagram.com/we_are_peac/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/yourbestlifebypeac

Teenagers are amongst the group that has been struggling the most with the pandemic. Lack of real connection and communication with their friends, the rise of social media use (and the comparison and struggle that comes with it) paired with the pressure at school and the grades / exams at the end of the academic year. Thankfully people like our guest this week, Tanya Nicholas, are also on the rise and willing to help. Tanya helps students, parents and teachers overcome the overwhelm of school and daily life. She is founder of TN Education Coaching and Mentoring. She helps students feeling stressed out by their studies or who want to be making more progress, but just aren't sure where to begin parents who simply want their child to succeed and teachers feeling burnt out or overwhelmed and want to restore their life work balance without loosing passion for one of the most rewarding jobs on the planet.

Vicky joined us in our last Empowered to Thrive course and was kind enough to join us this week and talk about what she learnt. Like many of us, she found herself on a place of survival, only (again, like many of us!) she didn't know that's what it was. Mother, wife, also carer of her elderly mum.... she spent her days looking after those she loved, but hardly ever looked after herself. And this not only had an impact on her own energy and health, but on those around her. It is very easy to fall prey of this routine, we live in autopilot and think this is the way, the only way, what we have to do. But life is far more than this, life is about joy, happiness, being on the driver seat and learning to control what we can control to thrive. Listen to Vicky's experience and hear for yourself how a little bit of will, stepping out of your comfort zone and seeking the right help can get you there. And if this sounds anything like you, join us! We are welcoming the next cohort in our Empowered to Thrive course, kicking off on April 19th. Email us to find out more details and see if you are a fit: contact@wearepeac.com

She then started her own business, working in her local community as a carer for the elderly. And earlier last year she set her own personal goal to get her health and well-being back! The changes she made in her life transformed her and inspired her to help others do and feel the same, so she then became a coach and is on a path to help women feel better about themselves.

This week we had the lovely Sarah Fruehling with us. Her story is one of purpose, of what some will call a nice chain of coincidences, some will call following your heart and finding your purpose. She was in her 23rd year as a Licensed Professional Counselor and entrepreneur, running her own successful therapy practice, when an old friend of hers invited her to lunch. A successful entrepreneur himself, he had already created success through founding numerous startups. During that two-hour lunch, she listened to his story, learned more about his life challenges and ideal future vision, and realised that she had just stumbled upon my next true calling: Sarah Fruehling founded Fruehling Coaching and Facilitation to help elite leaders, influencers, top entrepreneurs and those they impact, harness their innate talent and curiosity in order to build self-awareness, insight and develop skills to help them succeed. Their clients are able to gain a deeper sense of meaning and purpose while creating more abundance in their lives. She has built a diverse team of world-class coaches, each with a unique background, area of expertise, and depth of experience. Their approach involves matching you with the perfect coach to create the ideal coaching dynamic which will support you to become your very best.

Today marks a big milestone in getting back to normal life in the UK, schools re-open and thousands of students return to school, their learning and friends. And this is something that is causing mixed reactions, in both children and parents. For children, you may find some of them looking forward to it, to see their friends and get a bit of normality back in their lives, for some others, this comes as a shock and they do not want to go back, as a result, fears, anger, anxiety.... are showing up. Parents are not too different, some will be celebrating theirs kids being back and looking forward to getting some time back and not juggle too many balls, some will be missing this unique time spent with their kids, some will do both. Whichever way of the spectrum you or your child/ren are in, today is a day that will trigger some feelings, and we have brought back Juliette Oakshett, dramatherapist, systemic practitioner, school counsellor and parent coach who specialises in work with children and families, to help us navigate this new change. You can contact with Juliette here: https://www.julietteoakshett.co.uk/ https://www.instagram.com/julesoakshett/ And with us: https://www.instagram.com/fleurprime/ https://www.instagram.com/coachingwithlucia/

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you say YES? If you stayed open to connecting, to reaching out and accepting opportunities? Well, that is what our guest this week did, she said yes, welcomed every opportunity with an open heart and sought connecting with like minded people to help her progress and move forward. Hulya Kurt was a great example of what connection, networking and living life with an open heart and mind can help us achieve. Now founder of her own company, Managing Director of Noble Manhattan Coaching Switzerland, president of Organization Women International Trade Geneva and Area Director at Toastmasters in Switzerland. And we thought the day only had 24h! ;) To connect with Hulya: website : www.innkick.com FB: https://www.facebook.com/hulya.kurt.3762/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/hulyakurt_coach/saved/?hl=en Linkedin : Hulya Kurt | LinkedIn To connect with us: https://www.instagram.com/fleurprime/ https://www.instagram.com/coachingwithlucia/

Bullying. Terrifying just to even read about it, let alone when you experience it and when you discover there is none to little help for it. Well, this is exactly what our guest this week, Kerrie Patterson, had to go through. Having been bullied at work, she tried looking out for support, and found this was limited... In time, she overcame this, and part of this was due to taking up upcycling! The process of bringing a forgotten, dented piece back to life showed many resemblances to building yourself back again, and this is exactly what she does now! She has set up her own business where she helps victims of bully overcome this, by working on themselves and their confidence, discovering their inner strength and confidence, by Standing Tall (which is the name of her beautiful program!).

Navigating this situation gets harder and harder. Anxiety and stress levels are sky rocketing, both individuals and the workplace report being hit harder this third time around.... and the uncertainty of when will this all end still lingers. With this in mind, is easy to see the impact this (almost) a year has had on us all. And we wanted to understand what living through a pandemic really meant for 3 different people, from three different walks of life, responsibilities (both at home and at work)and how they have navigated this thus far. We spoke to Gemma Kirk - Head of Fundraising at Chickenshed and mum of two, Elise Lockyer - Head of HR at Sonovate and mum of 2, and Jacob Endemano - Senior Account Manager - Sports + Entertainment at The Maverick Group, in his late 20s and recently moved in with his partner. Join us and hear what things, tips, resources... have helped them get through this time and how they have faced the many challenges and opportunities they found.

Natalie's journey gave us all the feels. She was diagnosed with depression in her early 20s. An illness that affected not only her brain, but her body. She didn't feel deserving of any love, attention, understanding... from her loved ones or herself. She couldn't quite understand how they wanted to stay close to her when she herself wouldn't have chose it. yet, it was this love and support that helped her - when she was prescribed some tablets whose side effect was having suicidal thoughts. This is when a moment of clarity struck, and she decided to take her health in her own hands. She is now using this experience, these learnings and passion and helping others overcome their challenges through her Nutritional Therapy. Please, if you are out there experiencing anything similar, know that you are not alone and it doesn't have to be this way. Please seek professional help, like Natalie (or even reach out to her too! her details are below). There is a way out.

Have you ever wondered why you see the world the way you see it? Why you think what you think or what sort of pre-conceived opinions you may hold of the world around you and those who live in it? Well, that is exactly what our guest this week, Femi Otitoju, does: challenges perceptions, defies the status quo and replaces them with a new way of looking at the world. Femi founded Challenge Consultancy in 1985 to provide high quality, effective training and consulting services for the private, public and voluntary sectors. Challenge is now an association of trainers and consultants designing and delivering solutions for a wide range of UK and global organisations. Combining a scientific background with persuasive and engaging training skills, Femi has designed a variety or programmes and courses about this cultural awareness. This was an inspirational talk that helped us shift our perspective and become more aware of the realities and unconscious bias we all hold, definitely worth a listen!

Sometimes we feel something is off, and we can feel it for a long time. And sometimes, what is off is our health. This was Gretchen's case. She started to notice certain things where not right, a variety of symptoms and seemingly unrelated. She began a quest to better look after herself and her health, consulted specialists and plenty of research. Which, with an autoimmune illness (that can be utterly debilitating) was a journey in itself. She discovered nutrition played a pivotal role in her journey and this is what we spoke about in today's episode. How our health and looking after ourselves starts from within, from our gut and what we feed our system. Gretchen has done plenty of research in this matter, so, if you want to connect with her to find out more: Her LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gretchennemechek/ AutoImmune Wellness Resources: https://autoimmunewellness.com/ (this is a great starting point to learn more) Her favorite quote: Bruce Lee: “To hell with circumstances, I create opportunities.” To connect with us: https://www.instagram.com/fleurprime/ https://www.instagram.com/coachingwithlucia/

Here in the Uk we are back to lockdown, pretty much like we were in March last year, staying at home, schools and commerce closed.... and as a result we are seeing a spike in anxiety levels. We have been approached by many reporting feeling overwhelmed, stressed... And also some feeling the need to "not drop the ball". With home schooling, working from home, looking after ourselves, eating healthily, doing exercise... all important, but also can result in adding more stress and overwhelm. We are re-sharing with you our episode called Superhero Syndrome, as it is important to understand that you do not have to do it all, and even if you wanted to, it does not have to be perfect. At a time like this, being kind with ourselves and do our best, is more than enough. As always, if you are struggling and feeling you cannot cope, please know you are not alone, we are here for you and we would love to help: fleurprime@gmail.com lucia@coachingwithlucia.com
