    In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with renowned dating and relationship coach and three-time author Persia Lawson. Growing up, Persia's parents struggled with drug addiction. To escape the challenging emotions, she focused on becoming an overachiever, and as part of her subconscious coping mechanism, she found herself leaning into an addiction to sex and love. She became well-practised at sabotaging any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys'. Persia's rock bottom moment came in her mid-twenties when she became the victim of sexual assault. Following this incident, she put on two stone in weight which prompted her concerned dad to take her away to a health retreat in Thailand. Whilst there, he gave Persia some advice that changed the entire trajectory of her life. These words were the launch pad she needed to leverage all her overachiever energy towards healing the real root of all her romantic dilemmas. Today Persia will be gracious enough to share her incredible story and offer the wisdom of what she has learned. Highlights:

    In this episode, I'm chatting with health and fitness competitor and coach, Kirstie George. Kirstie has set herself the mission to educate and support busy women to feel stronger, build confidence and lead happier healthy lifestyles. She became a personal trainer in 2018 after experiencing a life-changing event and following that, her own fitness journey. She was diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing two pregnancy losses and a traumatic second birth where she nearly lost her life. Understandably, her mental health was at rock bottom and she started suffering panic attacks, anxiety and depression, this is when she started lifting weights in hope that it would help with her mindset. Now, Kirstie feels strongly about helping women to feel empowered through health and fitness as previously, she had always been obsessed with fad diets, cardio and the number on the scales. She had yoyo dieted for years and never felt truly happy in her own skin, always looking for the “secret”. During this transformational time, she's turned her pain into power by competing in four bikini competitions in nine months, turning herself into a pro athlete in two federations. Kirstie's the author of "Build Habits for Women" and has recently been nominated for 'Most Motivational' Athlete of the Year at Pure Elite. Highlights:

    Today I'll be chatting with the one and only Josh Connolly. For Josh, December 2012 was the beginning of him seriously planning his suicide. Fast forward to December 2019 and he's delivering resilience workshops to global organisations. Back then he believed that resilience was the ability to keep going no matter what, to avoid any struggle and show up. That ideal drove him to a place where he felt the best thing to do for his children was to take his own life. Today, I have the pleasure of saying he has a new idea of resilience. One that is fluid, which allows him to struggle and ask for help. One that allows him to keep his head up and shoulders back despite his internal struggles. One that embraces vulnerability and keeps him reachable. One that helps him to understand what he feels, know what he needs as a result and be able to communicate that within his activities and relationships. Rather than driving him to suicide, this idea of resilience has helped to deliver emotional resilience training to village primary schools and global brands alike. Josh doesn't believe he's a new person, he's the same person, with the same emotions. The difference today lies within what he does with the energy of those emotions.
