Wisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 14. Megan Morgan @trulymadlylifeThe wisdom from our stories.
Megan is one of life's ebullient woman, bursting with energy and ideas; and a fierce determination for her family to squeeze everything they can out of life.
And that is what this podcast is about. Life. A life changing event in 2017 ripped the soul out of her spirit. She's learning each day to live with the visceral sense that all that she has -which brings her unbridled joy - is balanced on a finely tuned precipice.
This podcast has a very real sense of Megan before the event...2024-09-301h 00Wisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 13. Hana KhanHana has grown up in a multi heritage home. Pakistan and Ireland, with the UK as her home base. As she asks, where is her path, split between two countries whose traditions and expectations can appear to be contradictions of each other?
Growing up has been the hardest part, but now in her mid 20's she's learning to embrace the messiness of it all.
Come with us on a beautiful cultural journey where together we explore the grey area that this generation can feel like they're falling between and wonder about the value of old...2024-09-2946 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 12. Soumya KarkeraLife flows. Life wants life. And yet we can all get this feeling of stuckness where our flow grinds to a halt.
This is the essence of my vivid conversation with Systemic Constellation Coach, Soumya Karkera, whose work centres around releasing stuckness by drawing on the wisdom from the systems that orbit around our family. Be they living or even not living - our ancestors.
"Each of us have experiences that other human beings have gone through - maybe not in our life time - stored in our bodies as memories."
Soumya explains...2024-09-2957 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 11. Laura de RooyWhat does it take to fight for premature babies? To fight for their lives; to fight for budgets to improve their outcomes; to fight for your corner in a healthcare system littered with priorities; to fight to get parents as involved in their babies care, as the pediatric nurses are. Meet Laura, former Consultant Neonatologist at St Georges Hospital, Tooting.
She is one phenomenal woman. This is the story of someone on the front line with raw loving care and an unapologetic determination to ensure every single premature baby has the best chance of leaving the hospital...2024-07-1851 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 10. Martin SikulaListen. I'm not exaggerating when I say that Martin is a complete one off. You have to listen to him. I know Martin as an invigorating, persuasive and emphatic Coach who 100% wants the best for everyone and wants that for himself too. He has such big curiosity about how to make each and every day better. His spirit and energy is infectious and he's just about to embark on a huge new journey, one that he's waited for, for the longest time. And it's not been easy to play by the rules. But he's had to. You'll get loads...2024-07-1249 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 9. Sian RowlandIf you're curious about Spoken Word, Playwriting or getting started with a new creative career, Sian's story will inspire you. Her career as an Educator was full of passion and commitment, championing those who's young voices go unheard. Then when it all came to an abrupt end, Sian combined her love of writing, with turning that same passion towards others, who's voices can also be ignored, overlooked or unseen.
She began by blogging about the injustice she saw in the Education system, and realised her audience wanted more were sticking around. So, she expanded...2024-07-1246 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 8. Annette HindsAnnette's story will inspire. She's had a full life, split into three parts. From compliance and compromised to, retraining and breaking through as Lawyer. Not an easy journey by any stretch and now acting, singing and fully participating in a life that she didn't dare to dream she could have. She made it all happen.
I love being around Annette and it was an honour to listen to her full life story. Her zest for life and love of people shines through and is totally infectious. 2024-06-1349 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 7. Juliet AddenbrookeJuliet is an absolute one off.

Come and listen to how she can access an unbridled sense of freedom through her wonderful creative thought processes.2024-06-0745 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 6. Colin DonworthColin was broken. He was living his life as an addict or, in his words, "as an Ego with an inferiority complex". But being broken led him to take a significant life changing step. He chose to accept help. Now, his life, post addiction and post pain has been one of peace, grace, and humility.
The wonderful wise insights Colin shared with me about his journey to recovery and how he now helps others who walk in his shoes is so illuminating and for me helped me to understand some simple truths about life.

I previously only knew a little bit about his life but I always had a sense that he was a man with a passionate heart and emotional depths. I wanted to know more. Our conversation led us to the story of Chris, his much loved foster brother, who has influenced his life in many ways ever since.
We also talked about the risk of switching to a completely new and much more aligned career as he approached his 50's. The leap of faith and making a big...2024-05-0436 minWisdom from Normal PeopleEpisode 3 . Mandi McCormackSuper excited to chat to my good friend Mandi. We went to school together and have spent a lot of that time, almost always in search of fun. Mandi is a dyed in the wool creative and in the pursuit of living a creative life, Mandi has prioritised that ahead of wealth and the safety of a tedious 9-5 regular income. Her 'take' on life is refreshingly left field but so worth the insight that the wisdom of living differently can show us all.

The Style Stories PodcastHow to find the right colours for you and why it mattersThis week’s episode is all about colour and the fascinating psychology behind it. Colour makes us feel things, we associate times and feelings with certain colours. Lots of people can’t bear to wear their school uniform colours and I've got a strange hatred of the colour orange.
This episode really went off on some interesting tangents! I love it when that happens, when the chat just flows and you make new discoveries along the way. My guest today was my friend and long-time collaborator Teresa Klasener.

Career Interrupted[Episode 81] What can life coaching and neurocoaching™ do for you? Go from Compare and Despair to Compare and Celebrate with Teresa KlasenerYoda. Not your first port of call for sage advice, perhaps, but very wise this Jedi Master is. In The Empire Strikes Back, Yoda tells Luke Skywalker that ‘you must unlearn what you have learned’, and we think this is a pretty nifty life lesson. Because we’re all on #EatSleepRepeat; we’re a sum of our habits and years of subconscious conditioning. Very often, the stories we’re told in childhood are those we carry into adult life. And although we quickly realise that the tune played by the ice cream van doesn’t mean it’s out of ice c...2021-04-0737 min
The Coach's Journey - build a coaching business with integrityEpisode #9: Barry Ennis - Follow The FireHis determination and attitude took Barry Ennis from runner to leader of senior management teams and multimillion-pound projects in a television career that involved a BAFTA-winning show, seven series of Who Wants To Be A Millionnaire? and… Beyonce! But when, in a moment of struggle, he took himself through a self-coaching exercise, he realised that his work in television didn’t speak to the values and passions that were at his core. He set out to find something different, and knew he had found it when - part way through training as a coach - some transformational work with a fe...2020-02-272h 01
