Pain is inevitable, Suffering is a Choice - EP20 with Sara Goode

Having Crohn's Disease and Ankylosing Spondylitis, meant Sara struggled with stress and chronic pain most of my life.
It ended her career at BofA (BAML) and HSBC Asset Management, and the business that she started with her partner started when we left the city and moved back to North Wales in 2004.
She speaks about how in 2015, in Critical Care on full life support for 4 weeks, then in hospital for a further 4 months, she left hospital in a worse physical and mental condition than ever before.
So why is she so grateful for that event?!
Because, it meant she was forced to change my life, find new, better ways of dealing with worry and pain.
It was either give up, or get to work finding a solution, and with a 6 year old daughter, giving up was never going to be an option.
Inspiring lady, inspiring coach and I hope this podcast will inspire you to reach out and start your own journey of discovery.

Did I Experience God - EP19

God, Universe can you hear it?
Nothing is impossible but sometimes you ask!!!
Where did that come from?
This podcast is well, in fact I can't describe it.As a therapist I am always wanting to learn, knowing that we hold the answers and my next biggest challenge was to transform my body.
Rapid Transformational Therapy is a great tool for this, so I have been working with the amazing Lauren Daniel Coach and RTT Therapist, colleague and friend.This journey has been strange but our session on 6th August 2020 was far from what we expected.In this podcast I will reveal the experience and let you decide what you think it means.I am simply relaying what happened and what my interpretation is or in fact isn't.Stay with me and enjoy the ride, you may need a lie down after.Profound and thought provoking I try to explain to Tracy what happened and answer the the question - Did I Experience God?Often the answers we are looking for are not what we expect.
 

The Obviousness of Serenity - EP18

With the global pandemic is full swing and many looking for answers, we continue to look outwardly for what we need.Freedom, love, security and serenity. We look to feel safe and we forget we already have the answers but if you look to the sky you will not find fish.
 
Knowledge is power and you already have everything you need, you just need to know where to look, in this podcast I will share with you some of my observations and how I have being re-framing the new normal as an opportunity, come join me as I discuss.... 
 

Why Every Disney Movie is Your Guide to Transformation Success - EP17

Dream, Believe, Dare, Do
That was the motto of Walter Elias Disney
He understood people and stories about the heroes journey followed a natural universal law.
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
 
It's kind of fun to do the impossible.
 
All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.When you understand transformation and education are different and that therapy is not transformation, but a therapist, coach, mentor guide is the person who can help you along the way to your dreams, like Aladdin and the Genie, Cinderella and her Fairy God Mother, you soon realise that these stories are actually the formula to change impossible to I Am Possible.Join me on this podcast as we unpick the secret to transformation lies in the movies we show our kids.Wanna build a snowman?

Steps EP16 Final Episode in The Journey to Abundance Series

STEPS - "Tragedy...When the feelings gone...And you can't go on it's Tragedy...When the morning cries and you don't know why , it's hard to bear..With no-one to love you...Your going nowhere..Tragedy"
STOP - WRONG STEPS
This episode is not about the 90's pop band from the UK, but the final episode in The Journey to Abundance Series.
I am sure many of you listen to the podcasts, read the books and go to the conferences. Many will know you need to step forward and in this podcast we look at why many people fail to live their Why, their purpose and look at how you can create a firm foothold to take the tiny steps in the right direction.
 
FACTS formula is not linear, at each stage of breaking through Fear, taking Action and Accountability, Choosing the path, Trusting yourself and others are multi direction steps on you journey to abundance.
In the Gospel of Matthew, the Parable appears at the end of the Sermon on the Mount as follows:
Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man, who built his house on a rock.
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it didn't fall, for it was founded on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of mine, and doesn't do them will be like a foolish man, who built his house on the sand.
The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat on that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.
— Matthew 7:24–27
This story is one of ethics and growth but has firmness in the steps we should take in life. 
By "rain" here, and "floods," and "winds," we metaphorically talk of the calm and afflictions that befall us; such as false accusations, plots, bereavements, deaths, loss of friends, vexations from strangers, all the ills in our life that any one could mention, they are the sands that pass by serving no purpose other than lessons.
Steadfastness of our truth, purpose and WHY will see us weather the storm on our road to abundance, whilst staying on the shifting sands will give us no firmness of balance. The rock is out belief that the steps we are taking are for something greater than we yet know
Wow that's deep, don't worry the podcast is lighter.....enjoy

Trust EP14 - The Journey to Abundance Series Part 5

In part 5 of the Journey to Abundance series we are joined by the amazing Joanna Bullock and we discuss breaking through and how you can trust yourself and others to help you on your journey.
In the amazing abundance book Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill says:
 “Deliberately Seek The Company Of People Who Influence You To Think And Act On Building The Life You Desire.”
No one has done it on there own and all successful people surround themselves with people who can help them move forward.
In this podcast we give you the tips on what you can do, for free, to have faith in yourself to find the right people to help you, how to unlock your inner guidance system to break through the fear of taking action and making the choice to trust yourself to just F***ing do it.
We know it's hard but the difference between you and those who are smashing it, is trusting it is all working out.
So trust your instincts and press play and join us as we guide you how to trust your instincts.
