About this listen

Hello and WELCOME to the Be Glad Movement, my name is Pollyanna and I'm on a mission to bring you as many stories as possible of good coming out of bad and reasons to be glad.


This podcast is going to be full of inspirational stories from people just like you and me who have overcome their hardships and gone on to lead even more successful and fulfilling lives. It’s a safe place where I hope those of us who are in the thick of a tough situation can come and hear how other people survived and in some cases now even credit their hardships as being the best thing that could ever have happened to them. It’s hard when you are in the middle of a crisis and it can feel lonely, you have to allow yourself to have the odd pity party, to cry, get angry, vent, process and move through the emotions. Everyone will have a different time line for doing this. The Be Glad Movement podcast is an effort to sit with you in solidarity during those dark times and then when you are ready, and only when YOU are ready, we’re all here together to help lift you up and uncover the good that can come from each adversity, to inspire you to seek out a way of using your own hardships to either your own advantage or to help others. You can follow along on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram by searching @begladmovement

    27. International Refugee Day 2020 - Gulwali Passarlay
    Jun 17 2020


    On Saturday 20th June, this weekend, it will be world refugee day. In these unprecedented times of Covid 19 I think we are all feeling varying degrees of seperation from our loved ones but nothing quite compares to the type of story I’m so grateful to be able to share with you today. At 12 years old, Gulwallai mother told him and his brother to leave home for Europe and never return to war torn Afghanistan. As a mother I cant even begin to imagine what that must have been like for her. Let’s listen to Gulwallais story.

    26. Jason Rawles - Living the High life but Feeling Really Low.
    Jun 9 2020

    How could I not interview Jason Rawles, on the ‘About ’ page of Jasons website the very first line reads ‘The book of Jason is a story of personal accountability and extracting goodness from the bad.’ Everything the BeGlad Movement stands for.


    This is a story of a man who had various struggles throughout his life but through grit and determination managed to make a success of himself in the IT sales world. He was a high flier, literally flying around the world and earning hundreds of thousands of pounds.


    Unfortunately all this extra cash did not buy Jason happiness, something was not in alignment. He’d lost friends and wasn’t spending time with his family or having and adventures. He got so low he realised something had to give and it was time to take response-ability for his own happiness.


    Watch the full interview to hear how Jason took himself off to ask himself some probing questions and take a good long look at what he had become and how that contrasted with who he really knew he wanted to be deep down.


    Jason now leads guided hikes and expeditions as well as being a keynote speaker on the following topics


    • Personal accountability for success
    • Navigating leadership in business
    • What happens when your core values are conflicted
    • How adventure supports great leadership
    • Lessons learnt from life in leadership
