Fiction:  The Secret Hours – Mick Heron  A gripping spy thriller from the bestselling author of Slow Horses, about a disastrous MI5 mission in Cold War Berlin—an absolute must-read for Slough House fans. Learned by Heart –Emma Donaghue  Eliza and Lister have never been this wide-awake in their lives, and the Slope, with its curtains drawn wide, is bright with starlight. They talk in whispers, not to disturb the maids who lie sleeping on the other side of the box room. The question Eliza's been needing to ask swells like a great berry in her mouth, and all at once she's not scared to let it out, not scared at all, not scared of anything . . . Tom Lake – Anne Patchett   This is a story about Peter Duke who went on to be a famous actor.This is a story about falling in love with Peter Duke who wasn't famous at all.It's about falling so wildly in love with him – the way one will at twenty-four – that it felt like jumping off a roof at midnight.There was no way to foresee the mess it would come to in the end.   Non Fiction:   Fire Weather: A True Story from a Hotter World – John Vaillant   In May 2016, Fort McMurray, the hub of Canada's oil industry and America's biggest foreign supplier, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration--the wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina--John Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event, but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world. Fire has been a partner in our evolution for hundreds of millennia, shaping culture, civilization, and, very likely, our brains. Fire has enabled us to cook our food, defend and heat our homes, and power the machines that drive our titanic economy. Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to elude our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways. The Wager – David Grann  On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty's Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia. The men, after being marooned for months and facing starvation, built the flimsy craft and sailed for more than a hundred days, traversing nearly 3,000 miles of storm-wracked seas. They were greeted as heroes. But then ... six months later, another, even more decrepit craft landed on the coast of Chile. This boat contained just three castaways, and they told a very different story. The thirty sailors who landed in Brazil were not heroes – they were mutineers. The first group responded with countercharges of their own, of a tyrannical and murderous senior officer and his henchmen. It became clear that while stranded on the island the crew had fallen into anarchy, with warring factions fighting for dominion over the barren wilderness. As accusations of treachery and murder flew, the Admiralty convened a court martial to determine who was telling the truth. The stakes were life-and-death—for whomever the court found guilty could hang. The Twat Files: A hilarious sort-of memoir of mistakes, mishaps and mess-ups – Dawn French   When I was younger I wanted to be an interesting, sophisticated, semi-heroic, multi-layered person. BUT. That kind of perfect is impossible. Being an actual twat is much more the real me. Sorry to boast, but I am a champion twat. In The Twat Files I will tell you about all the times I've been a total and utter twat. The moments where I've misunderstood stuff and messed up. My hope is that these stories might fire up yer engines to remind you of just what a massive twat you also are. Let's celebrate and revel in this most delightful of traits together. That would be perfectly twatty. The Woman In Me – Britney Spears   The Woman in Me is a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.   LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hello and welcome back! I really am excited to bring you this episode - with a fine young man, entrepreneur and social change maker - who also happens to be my 15 year old son.

Hi & welcome back to this latest podcast episode, where today we'll delve into the exhilarating world of pursuing 'impossible' dreams and goals. This episode is for everyone who's ever dared to dream big, as we explore the transformative power of setting seemingly unreachable objectives. Whether you're a seasoned dreamer or a sceptic, today I'm going to challenge your perceptions and encourage you to aim higher than ever before. Contemplate the difference between 'realistic' goals and 'impossible' dreams, and learn how the latter can radically shift your mindset and approach to life. For instance, while setting a goal for a promotion at work or improving personal fitness is commendable, they often don't push us beyond our comfort zones. In contrast, dreaming about living to 120 years of age or increasing business turnover tenfold in 2024 propels us into a realm of extraordinary possibilities. This episode is not just about setting lofty goals; it's about the journey of reimagining our potential, questioning our limits, and redefining what we consider achievable. Dive in and learn about the intrinsic value of big dreams – and living life to its fullest, making a meaningful impact, and shedding unproductive habits and relationships. Looking forward to December, our host invites listeners to join the 'The Impossible Dream' workshop in the Dream Life Platinum Coaching Program, where participants will choose and pursue their own impossible dream. And in our online book club GROW, we'll be reading "10 X is Easier Than 2 x" by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy, aligning perfectly with the month's theme.  Tune in and embark on a journey to transform your dreams into reality. As always, I'd LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode – and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Hello & welcome back! I have had such an interesting life these last few years  After losing my first business kikki.K - in the business pain that so many retailers experienced during the harsh Covid related retail store lockdowns – I picked myself up, dusted myself off, and found a new direction. As I look back now, it was a direction I'd already started moving in after writing my first book in 2018 about the transformative power of dreaming. I wanted to use everything I'd learned in my 20 plus years as a creative, leader, entrepreneur, author and avid life-long learner to inspire and empower other people. As a speaker, mentor and coach. It's been a pivot that has given me a great sense of meaning, purpose and fulfilment – and today's podcast episode will explain why. My guest this week is Tanja Fässler-Moro - a coaching student of mine – and her real-life story of transformation and taking productivity and wellbeing to the next level, is truly inspiring. I'm so proud of her - and the many others in my programs and community who are making similar transformations and doing wonderful things. Based in Switzerland, Tanya is a coach herself, specialising in the infertility space. She's also a mother of two and loves learning and growing. This episode is really inspiring, and will no doubt get you excited about making 2024 your best year yet. I'd love you to join my coaching program too if you're inspired by Tanja's progress and want the same for yourself. As you listen, imagine what you too could achieve with a little focus and support.

Hello & welcome back! If you're a frequent listener to my podcast, you know that I'm all for inspiring you to live your dream life – whatever that means for you. It's different for all of us – with one exception. To live our dream lives, we all need health and wellbeing. Wellness. But how do you start a journey to glowing, sustained wellness? There are so many things that you can do - so many tips and so much advice out there - but I believe that the best place to start is with self-awareness. Exploring where you're at- and taking small steps to explore key aspects of your own wellness - and what works for you. Because wellness is unique to everyone. So, I'm really excited to share that we've created a wonderful Wellness Journal that will guide you gently on that exploration - over a 10-week period of simple daily journaling. Nudging you to find what works for you. And in today's episode, I'm going to share insights into how to start your journey to vibrant wellness - so you can create your dream life. Listen in to learn: How wellness plays a crucial role in creating and sustaining your dream life - providing the energy and foundation needed. The significance of beginning your wellness journey with self-awareness - and taking small, meaningful steps to explore key aspects of your wellbeing. How journaling can guide you through daily reflections, weekly and monthly check-ins, and intentional actions in areas like mindfulness, sleep, exercise, nutrition, and more. The importance of focussing on seven pillars of wellness; mindfulness, sleep, meaningful relationships, nutrition, exercise, self-care, and future dreaming. The importance of progress rather than perfection. …and much more.    You're going to love the insights in this episode - and when you finish listening, I want you to ask yourself, what is one action that you can take today to improve your wellness so you can move closer to creating your dream life? As always, I'd LOVE to hear what resonates with you – and what you plan to implement after listening in.

Hello & welcome back! Do you ever find yourself hoping that someday, life will be less hectic?!  ‘One day', you say, you'll ‘finally have time for the activities that you love'. Writing that book, more time for you, chasing your dreams, traveling with friends…  But life is unpredictable – and full - and if we're not careful, dull, unfulfilling tasks can quickly occupy our precious hours, derail our best-laid plans, and make life feel like a slog.In her latest book Tranquility by Tuesday, my podcast guest Laura Vanderkam explains that if you want something to happen, you need to design your life to make it happen – and you're going to love taking a front row seat on this inspiring conversation as we talk through how to do just that. Laura is a world leading expert in time management & productivity, and her practical ideas will inspire and challenge your thinking in equal measure. Key Takeaways: (1) Being Intentional About Time Management is Essential for You: Laura emphasizes the importance of intentional time management in creating a fulfilling life and spending time on what matters. (2) You Need a Weekly Planning Practice for Success: Implementing a weekly planning practice is a high-impact strategy for you. This practice involves dedicating around 20-30 minutes on Fridays to plan the upcoming week, identifying important professional & personal tasks, and allocating time for them in your diary. (3) Your Mindset Shapes Your Productivity: Cultivating a positive mindset is key to productivity – and getting time to spend on what matters - and it takes focus. Starting the day intentionally will foster a productive mindset, setting you up you to tackle tasks and interactions with enthusiasm and joy. (4) Embrace Your Passions and Prioritize Them: Finding and pursuing your passion enhances time management. Integrating activities that bring joy and align with personal interests into daily routines creates a sense of purpose and fulfillment. (5) Outsourcing and Delegation for Efficiency: Delegating tasks that don't align with your strengths or passions is crucial for time optimization (and your own joy!).   You'll going to love the insights in this episode - and when you finish listening, I want you to ask yourself, what is one action that you can take today to improve how you use time so you can move closer to creating your dream life? As always, I'd LOVE to hear what resonates with you – and what you plan to implement after listening in.

And I love spending time with like-minded people …and it's a plus that this is in the beautiful tropical location of Fiji. There are only 16 spots left at the time of recording this episode so if you are interested in joining us learn more here… and if you have questions please don't hesitate to email us at info@yourdreamlifestartshere.com and we can book in a call.

Learning to make her own choices and use her voice without apology were her first steps towards a bold, purpose-filled life.Now a highly respected executive and personal coach, Kemi has created a five-step framework to guide other women to build their power - which she shares in her wonderful book, POWER: A Woman's Guide to Living And Leading Without Apology.After listening to this episode, you'll be so ready to reclaim your power and overcome any barriers in your life.We'll be reading Kemi's book in my virtual book group GROW in August, and I'm so excited that Kemi will be joining us online for a Q&A.

Hi there and welcome back!I'm currently living one of my dreams, and that is I am based in Sweden over the Swedish summer, which is simply amazing. I get to see my family and friends.The reason for sharing that, is that today I want to talk about ‘what to do when you don't know what to do'.Embarking on the journey towards your dream life - whatever that is for you - can be both exhilarating and overwhelming. There are countless possibilities and so many things that we can do, so it's no wonder that many people find themselves unsure of where to begin.In fact, this week we ran a quiz – aimed at helping people understand if they're on track to living their dream life – and out of nearly 300 respondents the vast majority, 78%, scored low in the "Clear on Where to Start?" category.It confirms my experience, that many people feel uncertain or lack clarity when it comes to taking the first steps towards what they would consider 'their dream life'.I've been there myself - I know how that feels - and I'm excited because I know that I can help by sharing my own experience and knowledge with people.So, listen in and I'll share where to start…Dream Big! SHOW NOTES:Take the Quiz here… "Discover How On Track You Are to Living Your Dream Life" and uncover valuable insights into where you're at and how your own path forward can look.Join my virtual book club GROW. Learn more here…Want to transform your life with help from me?
