This episode I am joined by the simply brilliant Caroline Scarles for a far roaming and honest conversation.

With more than 20 years in academia it would be easy to think of Caroline as a list of impressive sounding titles. Vice Dean and Professor carry implied weight as well as long tradition. But, along with her colleague, being the first women to hold certain senior positions at the university she lectured at, Caroline is acutely aware of the importance of letting your true self shine through.

In our conversation we cover the importance of authenticity, especially as a woman in another traditionally male dominated arena, the impact a recent ADHD diagnosis has had on how she shows up, the ever fewer fucks she has to give as a result of perimenopause, the role her mental health and long-covid and art has played in shaping her outlook on life and the enormous joy she gets from hosting mental health wild swims.

This is a brilliant conversation and one that could have gone on and on.

This episode I am speaking with Joe Hilton, a man who survived a self defined “decade of chaos” and has set out on an journey of “Freedom and Adventure”.

Joe is a down-to-earth and honest human being, willing to share and use his own lived experiences as a way to connect to the people he is looking to help.

Having suffered with his won mental health and patterns of behaviour that didn’t serve him, he embarked on an adventure to reconnect with himself and create the life he really wanted to live.

He now shares his story with others to show them there is a way to heal our wounds and start to create the lives we really want to live.

This episode I’m speaking with the brilliant Tara Donovan. Initially an entertainment lawyer, Tara made partner in her early 30s. Having scaled that particular mountain she very quickly realised that 20-30 more years of that would not create the fulfilling life she wanted. As big as here achievement was, how she felt showed her it was time for a new mountain to climb.

But what to do? Well, step one was working with a life coach who helped her arrive at her "5 Lights for a Fuck Yeah" approach to deciding what came next and what challenges she took on from then on!

What followed included becoming MD and later CEO for a famous celebrity chef, advisor and Non Executive Director for various organisations before a trip to Portugal directed her to buy, renovate and then share with the world the very special energy of Casa Fuzetta, listed by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the best yoga retreats in the world. Join Tara and me for this brilliant conversation.
