  • Episode 15: Trusting the Leap: How Angilee Kapoor Rewrote Her Story
    Apr 29 2025

    Have you ever found yourself standing at the edge of a big change—scared, uncertain, yet knowing deep down that staying the same isn’t an option? In today’s episode of Unfinished Stories: Next Chapter, I sit down with the incredible Angilee Kapoor, a powerhouse leader, entrepreneur, author, and TV host, who knows exactly what it feels like to face those pivotal crossroads.

    Angilee shares her deeply personal journey from a healthcare executive to a full-time entrepreneur traveling the world—exploring how building self-trust, shifting your mindset, and redefining your relationship with fear can change everything. We talk about those dark moments, the ones behind closed doors, and how they often lead to the brightest breakthroughs.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck, doubted your path, or wondered if it’s too late to create the life you want, this conversation is your reminder: you are not alone, and your story isn’t finished. It’s just waiting for you to turn the page.

    5 Highlights from Today’s Conversation:

    1. From Corporate Ladder to Freedom Angilee’s courageous leap from a 20-year healthcare career to entrepreneurship—and how she knew it was time.
    2. Recognising the Consciousness Crisis Understanding that nagging feeling of “there has to be more” and learning how to listen to it.
    3. Building Unshakeable Self-Trust Practical ways to move past fear, imposter syndrome, and those moments that threaten to keep us stuck.
    4. The Transformative Power of Travel How stepping outside her comfort zone (and across continents!) reshaped Angilee’s view on life and leadership.
    5. Daily Practices for Mindset Mastery Simple, powerful habits that help sustain growth, gratitude, and confidence—even when life gets hard.

    and all.

  • Episode 13: The Soul Behind the Story: Gary Parker on Writing What Matters
    Apr 19 2025

    What does it mean to write for yourself first? To write for your legacy, not for the spotlight?

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Gary Parker—prolific author of over 20 novels, screenplays, and someone whose words are as soulful as they are skillful. Gary and I explore the winding road of writing: how it starts, why it stalls, and what makes it worth finishing. From his early days growing up with books as best friends, to writing novels born from a single image etched in childhood memory, Gary shares how storytelling isn’t just something he does—it’s who he is.

    We also talk about The Playbook, his newest novel (and former screenplay!) featuring a female football coach rewriting more than just plays—she’s rewriting her life. For anyone stuck between the page they’re on and the story they want to tell, this episode is your reminder: it’s not too late. You just have to start.

    Your next chapter could begin today.

    Episode Highlights
    • Legacy Over Likes Gary explains why writing for impact—not popularity—is what sustains a creative life.
    • From Page to Screen Hear how The Playbook evolved from screenplay to limited series to novel—and why the story had to be told, no matter the format.
    • Marketing Without the Ick Factor Why promoting your book isn’t selling out—it’s speaking for the characters you’ve given life to.
    • The Power of Perspective Gary shares why many of his protagonists are women and how writing them deepened his empathy and voice.
    • Writing as a Lifelong Becoming With four decades of words behind him, Gary reflects on how understanding humanity has made him a better writer.

    Your next chapter is waiting to be written. Let’s turn the page together.

  • Episode 12 : Messy, Brave, and Becoming: Reclaiming Your Narrative with Geena Hymer
    Apr 15 2025

    In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Geena Hymer—a writer, survivor, and truth-teller who is courageously turning years of trauma into a powerful memoir called Body of Armor. Her story is one of transformation through writing, using words not only to process pain but to build something healing, lasting, and deeply human.

    Geena shares how early childhood abuse, eating disorders, and trauma shaped her relationship with her body, her voice, and her worth. We talk candidly about what it means to survive, to stumble, and ultimately to choose healing—even when it feels messy or delayed.

    If you’ve ever felt like your pain disqualified you from writing your next chapter, this conversation will remind you otherwise. Geena’s story isn’t just a journey through darkness—it’s a testament to how writing can become a path forward, a place of safety, and eventually, a gift to others.

    Highlights from this episode:

    1. Writing as a Lifeline How journaling and poetry became Geena’s survival tools during the darkest moments of her childhood.
    2. Body of Armor: The Origin Story Why weight gain became both a defence and a metaphor—and how Geena is dismantling it through her memoir.
    3. From Silence to Sharing The moment Geena decided to stop hiding—and how telling her story started her real healing.
    4. Healing Isn’t Linear What therapy, faith, and self-compassion taught her—and why healing doesn’t mean having it all figured out.
    5. Turning Pain into Purpose How Geena’s journey has led her to write a book that helps others feel seen, heard, and worthy.

    Whether you’re writing a memoir or simply trying to understand your own truth on the page, this episode is a tool for every writer walking the hard, honest path toward healing.
