In this special episode of TIE Unearthed, the tables turn once again.
This time, my friend Helen Wada - fellow author, fellow cancer thriver, fellow podcaster, and passionate advocate for humanity in business - steps in to interview me.
After an unexpected pause these last few months, life invited me into a very different kind of journey. A journey that challenged my plans, asked me to listen deeply to my intuition, and ultimately revealed an extraordinary amount of beauty, gratitude and clarity in the most unlikely moments.
Together, Helen and I explore what really happens when life throws everything up in the air - and how we choose to meet it.
We talk about the power of manifestation and the art of responding when the universe has other ideas.
We reflect on what emerges in the space created when everything stops, what it teaches us, and how it reshapes what we value.
We dive into the lessons that surprised us both:
✨ how gratitude can exist even when life feels hard
✨ how joy and beauty can still find you in the thick of it
✨how connection, community and letting others in becomes its own kind of strength
✨ how challenge, if we allow it, can transform us from the inside out
It’s a conversation about seeing ourselves, each other, and what truly matters more clearly. And it's about finding purpose in the moments we never thought we’d have to navigate.
I hope this episode gives you something meaningful to reflect on in your own life.
A massive thank you to Helen for joining me and for asking such thoughtful questions. Helen's book HUMAN-WISE: How to lead from within and sell with confidence will be available globally both in store and online from March 2026.
