What does it really mean to be where your feet are not as a quote, but as a way of living?

In this deeply grounded and reflective conversation, Donna is joined by Bron Watson nurse, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The Social Coach and The Serenity Project for a powerful exploration of presence, identity, and living fully while life is happening.

This is not a conversation about illness.
It’s a conversation about awareness, surrender, and serenity in real life.

After navigating breast cancer and later an incurable blood cancer, Bron’s relationship with time, control, and meaning shifted profoundly. Rather than being defined by diagnosis, she chose to meet life with intention, compassion, and presence a philosophy that now underpins her work where science meets soul.

Together, Donna and Bron explore:

• What “being where your feet are” looks like in everyday life
• How identity evolves when life interrupts your plans
• The difference between control and surrender
• Why serenity isn’t found in calm moments but built in the hard ones
• How to stop waiting for “someday” and start living now

This episode is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and remember that life isn’t something to get through it’s something to be present for.

🎧 If you’re feeling stretched, uncertain, or caught between the past and the future, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

Today is a good day.

Now, I want to be really clear when I say that.
That doesn’t mean every day is good.
And it definitely doesn’t mean life is easy or that everything is going smoothly.

What it means is this
When I’m intentional, I can create a good day.

I don’t wake up and immediately replay yesterday.
I don’t start my morning carrying old conversations, old worries, or things I can’t change.

Instead, I begin with gratitude.
Not the fluffy kind.
The grounding kind.

Gratitude brings me back into the present moment.
And from there, I move through the day consciously, not on autopilot.

That means I respond instead of react.
I notice my thoughts.
I notice where my energy is going.
And I make choices on purpose.

Tomorrow is the 14th of January, and I want to pause here and ask you something.

How are you doing?

Not how you think you should be doing.
Not how it looks on the outside.

But honestly
Are you on track with what you hoped this year would feel like?
Or do you need to shift, adjust, or re-plan?

And if you do
That’s okay.

So many people believe that once the year starts, the plan is locked in. That if you’ve lost momentum, or clarity, you’ve somehow failed.

But resilience doesn’t work like that.

Resilience allows reflection.
It allows recalibration.
It allows you to choose again without judgment.

Sometimes progress looks like slowing down.
Sometimes it looks like starting over.
And sometimes it simply looks like choosing to show up differently today than you did yesterday.

A good day isn’t created by circumstances.
It’s created by intention.

So if today needs to be a reset, let it be one.
If today feels heavy, meet it with kindness.
And if today feels steady, honour that too.

Today is a good day.
Not because everything is perfect.
But because you still get to choose how you show up.

What if the reason change hasn’t lasted… isn’t your discipline, motivation, or willpower but your mindset?

In this episode, I’m joined by Jamie Elston, a mindset-led coach whose personal journey challenges everything we’ve been taught about fitness, success, and self-worth.

Jamie grew up carrying the label of “the fat kid.” Years of bullying, body shame, and all-or-nothing thinking shaped how he saw himself long after the moments had passed. By 18, that internal struggle led to anorexia. Even when his body changed, the disconnection didn’t.

It wasn’t until one simple sentence from a coach reframed everything that Jamie stopped chasing extremes and started building a life that actually felt sustainable.

That moment changed not just how he trained but how he lived.

In this conversation, we explore:

• Why motivation fades and mindset is what makes change stick
• How old labels quietly dictate our choices and self-worth
• The danger of all-or-nothing cycles and “starting again Monday”
• Why doing less (not more) often leads to better results
• Why external success doesn’t create internal peace without inner work
• The mindset shifts that genuinely set you up for a different year ahead

This episode isn’t about New Year hype, punishment, or pushing harder.

It’s about alignment, self-trust, and designing change that lasts.

If you’ve ever felt tired of trying, failing, and starting again this conversation will meet you where you are and show you a more compassionate way forward. 🌱

🎧 Listen in and ask yourself:
What story am I still living from and am I ready to rewrite it?

If you don’t know where to start right now, this episode is for you.

This is not a New Year’s resolution conversation.
It’s not about motivation, wishful thinking, or waiting for the “right time.”

This episode is for anyone navigating change whether that’s a career shift, the end of a relationship, burnout, health changes, menopause, or the quiet realisation that life looks very different to how you imagined it would by now.

In this episode, we explore why planning feels so hard after significant change, and why avoiding a plan often keeps us stuck rather than protected. We redefine what a real plan actually is not a rigid schedule or perfect vision, but a clear direction supported by simple structure and meaningful deadlines.

You’ll be guided through 10 practical strategies to help you create a plan that works in real life, including:

• How to identify the season of life you’re actually in
• Why choosing one clear focus reduces overwhelm
• How to define what “better” really means for you
• The role of deadlines as self-trust, not pressure
• How to build structure before motivation
• What to remove when energy feels low
• How to handle resistance without self-judgement
• Why clarity comes from action, not before it

This episode is designed to be listened to slowly. Pause when you need to. Write things down. Then choose one small action and take it without waiting for Monday or the new year.

2026 doesn’t need to be perfect.
It just needs to be intentional.

🎧 Listen. Reflect. Decide. Move.

Have you ever woken up one day and realised life will never be the same again? Maybe it was after a divorce, the loss of a job, a family breakdown, or just that creeping feeling that you’ve lost yourself along the way. You know something has shifted, but the question is: Where do I start? How do I find myself again?

In this powerful episode of The Resilience Movement Podcast, I walk with you through the process of moving from stuck to strong. Together, we’ll explore what to do when you feel lost, how to take those very first steps, and what it really means to become the person you want to be.

You’ll hear practical strategies, heartfelt stories, and tools you can use right now to:

• Accept that life has changed and stop fighting the “old normal.”
• Identify small, intentional actions that help you ground yourself.
• Reconnect with your future self and start living from that place today.
• Build momentum through consistency instead of chasing big leaps.
• Stay on track when distractions and old patterns try to pull you back.
• Handle setbacks with compassion, not self-criticism, so they strengthen you instead of break you.
• Celebrate growth over perfection — because progress is what truly matters.

This conversation is a reminder that you don’t need to have it all figured out. Growth is not about never stumbling; it’s about learning to rise each time, stronger and clearer than before. Just like when you learned to walk as a baby — nobody doubted you’d make it, even when you fell. That same belief is what you need to hold for yourself today.

If you’ve been feeling pulled in different directions, questioning your worth, or wondering if you’ll ever feel like you again, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. You’ll leave with hope, perspective, and practical steps to start rewriting your story.

✨ From stuck to strong, from lost to found — you have everything within you to create the life you deserve.

Compartmentalizing & Emotional Intelligence: How to Stay on Track When Life Gets Messy

Episode Description:
Ever had one of those days where one bad moment threatens to derail everything? A tough conversation before a meeting. A personal issue that bleeds into work. A challenge that sits heavy on your mind and steals your focus.

In this episode, I’m diving into the art of healthy compartmentalizing — the skill of putting challenges into a “mental box” so you can stay focused on what matters most right now, and come back to deal with those challenges later. When paired with Emotional Intelligence, this becomes one of the most powerful tools for resilience, leadership, and personal growth.

I share a defining chapter from my own journey — a moment when life threw me into chaos just weeks after launching a new business. With my back against the wall, bills to pay, clients to serve, and no time to fall apart, I had to dig deep and use these skills to keep moving forward.

This isn’t about avoiding problems or pushing feelings down forever. It’s about managing your emotional state, protecting your focus, and giving yourself permission to show up fully — even when things are messy behind the scenes.

You’ll learn:
✨ The 4 components of Emotional Intelligence and how they help you compartmentalize effectively
✨ Practical tools to keep emotions from spilling into the wrong moments
✨ Why this skill builds resilience, resourcefulness, and trust — in yourself and in others
✨ How to create boundaries, rituals, and “reset buttons” to help you shift your state quickly

Whether you’re leading a team, running a business, or navigating life’s curveballs, this episode will help you stay steady, protect your energy, and keep moving toward your goals — even in the middle of a storm.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to box it, focus, and keep going.

In this episode of The Resilience Movement, I’m joined by Toby Whittington – an advocate, academic, and coach whose diverse life experience has shaped his powerful work in relational wellness. With over three decades of self-employment across creative, charitable, and sustainability-focused industries, Toby’s journey took a deeply personal turn following his diagnosis with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (47 XXY). Rather than viewing this as a limitation, Toby reframed his experience into a path of self-acceptance, later embracing his identity as a proud intersex person.

Today, he’s an accredited sexologist, a relationship coach, and a master’s student in counselling, using both lived and scholarly insight to guide others in forming Whole-Person Relationships.

We explore:

✨ What it means to be in a Whole-Person Relationship – and why this framework is vital in today’s disconnected world

✨ How Toby’s diagnosis became a catalyst for deeper self-love, identity integration, and emotional resilience

✨ The limiting beliefs many carry around love, intimacy, and identity – and how Toby has challenged these, personally and professionally

✨ How trauma-informed coaching, academic theory, and real-world experience combine to support healing in relationships

✨ Why vulnerability is not a weakness, but a bridge to deeper connection with oneself and others

✨ Practical advice for those beginning their own journey toward relational authenticity and self-trust

This conversation is rich in insight for anyone navigating personal reinvention, emotional healing, or seeking a more compassionate approach to connection. Whether you're beginning your healing journey or a seasoned practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of relational dynamics, Toby offers a grounded and integrative perspective that blends academic rigor with human warmth. 🔗 To connect with Toby or learn more about his work, you can find him at https://www.whole-person-relationships.com/ 🧡 As always, thank you for listening to The Resilience Movement.
