I'm coming at you in all my vulnerability. This show is all about pursuing happiness, but my personal experience over the last two months has really challenged me to the core on this.

My beloved husband, Jeremy, the love of my life, was diagnosed almost out of the blue with terminal cancer on the 7th of Feb 2024, and 11 days later, I lost him.

As you might imagine it's been an insanely difficult and very emotional time but my anchor has actually been Jeremy himself, believe it or not.

I have decided to record this episode and share this deeply emotional time with you because the way that Jeremy lived his life and what he modelled for me throughout our 20 amazing years together is the ultimate example of knowing yourself, of not compromising in ways that are harmful to yourself, and pursuing heartfelt happiness above all else.

By sharing this very personal story of my husband and how he lived his life, I hope it provides some inspiration to go after and live whatever kind of life you want and wholeheartedly deserve.

Do you dream of making heartfelt, purposeful change, but struggle with fear, self-doubt and procrastination, which ultimately stops you going after what you want?

If so, you are definitely not alone! Many of my clients have experienced exactly this, and Sian Aherne is one of them.

In this episode, I talk to Sian about the fear and discomfort that has held her back for years, and the approaches she’s now applying that have helped her navigate it and get unstuck to embark on a new career path and build her own business.

Through perseverance and a fabulous “Let’s Pretend” approach, she is now qualified in her new field and is running her practice as a nutrition coach alongside her PR and Comms freelancing.

If you do listen – you can also learn about my concept of little acts of proactive discomfort (a sneaky way of tricking yourself into trying new things and having mini adventures in being brave!).
