Quotes
'When everything crashed, the recession in full force, my marriage broken, to the point of no return, my business went into liquidation and everything I had known was taken away from me. I have described this as being lost out at sea. And in those moments, I had a choice of sinking or swimming. For me, there was no choice really.' - 00:56
‘This was like searching in the dark for the light switch and then finally finding it, flicking it on and for the first time in my life, I could see clearly.’ – 08:43
‘I've come back home to my true self. I've learned to befriend myself and I am now. One I can rely on anytime. I've let go of my critical companion and the narrative that said I was not worthy, not good enough, not deserving of true happiness and deep contentment. Not deserving of love for myself. I've moved beyond my past conditioning and the things that have held me back.’ – 09:33

Quotes
“Your movement is a reflection of what's going on inside you. How you have shown up for that day, your behaviour, your emotional state, your belief system.” - 18:18
“I have always had a bit of self-doubt around myself. About where I am and what I can do. And I kind of thought, well, what if I can do an Ironman? That's going to make me feel a certain way. I'll feel good enough after it. I’ll feel like I've really accomplished something.” -27:02
“I try and see the actual Ironman itself as a celebration of the year of the training.” - 28:53
“If you're doing things that appear like self-compassion, you know, ‘I’m not going to train today. I'm going to be kind to myself’, and you do it every day - in the end, you're not actually being that compassionate to yourself.” - 39:18

Quotes
‘Growth essentially is about exposing ourselves to a small piece of stress and then resting and adapting. But if we're constantly exposing ourselves to stress with no rest, then something breaks.’ - 22:22
‘I'm a big believer of balance across the board. And if we're spending too much energy and too much time in one area, we're definitely going to lack in others.’ - 24:51
‘You're stressed out? Well just try and wake up a little earlier and sit on the mat and meditate for 10 minutes. That's going to be great. But if you've got a major issue within your life or major piece that is out of alignment, meditating is not going to fix that.” - 30:09

Quotes
“The work that I do now is kind of an extension of the work I've done on myself in self-discovery and reflecting back on my life and how I've got to where I am now in my 40th year, going what's made me who I am, what gets in the way of me being my true self and kind of bridging the gap between that.” – 02:15
“In 2020 we had the murder of George Floyd…and for me personally, it made me take a real look at myself and actually go, I know so little about this conversation…” – 03:58
“I'd gone through my entire childhood and teenage years with even the word ‘gay’ being used as a slur. So I had to hide that side of me, when I didn't even understand it myself or articulate what it meant.” – 07:39
“It's exhausting though, because you are putting yourself in situations of vulnerability. Regardless of whether it's work or life, you need to feel safe enough to do that. S I always say, if it doesn't feel like a safe environment, then think about whether it is the right space to share openly about things.” – 29:04

This week on The Full Circle Podcast we dive into the fascinating world of cacao ceremonies and spiritual guidance with the remarkable Katherine Shenton, a seasoned cacao practitioner with a unique twist.
With two decades of experience in global marketing for leading corporations, Katherine skillfully bridges the gap between the spiritual realm and the modern corporate world.
Katherine’s background in global marketing took her on a whirlwind adventure across industries, but it was her deep yearning for something more meaningful that led her to explore the world of cacao.
Over the years, she has become renowned for her expertise in crafting transformative cacao ceremonies and her exceptional coaching abilities.
In this episode, we uncover how Katherine seamlessly blends ancient traditions with contemporary dynamics, creating a powerful synergy that helps people embark on profound inner journeys.
Join us for a deep and enlightening conversation as we explore the transformative power of cacao ceremonies, the wisdom of ancient traditions, and the practicality of modern success.

In this inspiring episode of The Full Circle Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Jennillee, a woman whose life journey has taken her from the Philippines to the United Kingdom, and from feeling like an outsider to becoming a beacon of hope for those struggling with similar challenges.
Throughout her life, Jennillee grappled with the struggle to fit in and find her place in the world. Her journey was marked by moments of self-discovery and the painful realisation that sometimes, trying too hard to fit in can lead to losing touch with one's true self. It's a story that many of us can relate to – the longing to belong and the price we sometimes pay to chase that sense of acceptance.
Today, Jennillee has harnessed her own experiences to help others navigate the turbulent waters of self-discovery. Drawing from her own journey of self-acceptance and resilience, she has become an advocate for those who feel like outsiders, offering them a safe space to embrace their uniqueness and share their stories.
Join me for this deeply moving episode as Jennillee shares her personal journey of self-discovery, the challenges she faced, and the wisdom she gained along the way.
Quotes
“And it sort of just clicked that everyone around me had a mum, a dad…and even though I was very loved, it was difficult because then I started to realise that I wasn't growing up like everybody else.” - 03:39
“Being in the Philippines, the thought of being in a Western country excited everyone. But I just remember feeling very sad. And nobody really knew how to validate how I felt. It was more of a ‘you should be grateful that you are now being given a new life.’” - 05:43
“I didn't really know how to navigate being in a country where I was a minority.” - 06:27
“We are the generation where the internet came at a dangerous time. We were in our late teens, in our early 20s, and it triggered questions…’Why don't I have this? Why don't I look like this? Why haven't I achieved this yet?’ And my mental health just plummeted.” - 09:40
“He made a joke in front of his friends about me being Asian… saying, ‘Oh, she's not as hot as Lucy Liu, but she'll do’” - 14:20

Dr Trudi Taylor, Executive Coach and founder of IslandB joins me on this episode of The Full Circle Podcast to discuss the vital importance of being heard.
Throughout Trudi’s childhood and into early adulthood, she was faced with the reality that while people may have been listening to her, they weren’t understanding what she was trying to communicate – they weren’t HEARING her. This resulted in Trudi suppressing trauma, acting out of frustration, and being treated as “difficult” when all she needed was to be heard.
Now, after delving deep into the root cause of her trauma and working to uncover the obstacles that have held her back, Trudi uses her experience to support leaders in becoming more effective through improved emotional intelligence and connection with those they lead teams to become high performing through trust, healthy conflict, and attention to results, and she helps organisations equip their people to create and sustain ambitious goals.
Trudi joins me in the studio to discuss the importance of being heard and hearing the people around us, how not being heard and understood manifests later in life, and how she overcame the mental and physical effects of being misunderstood since childhood.

In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Megan Cooper, a Holistic Health Coach, EFT practitioner and space-holder based in Brighton, UK. In 2015, Megan made the brave decision to leave her corporate career in London and moved to Australia to teach yoga. While there, away from her family and friends, Megan was diagnosed with a hormone imbalance which prompted her to begin healing her body naturally, the success of which led her to study Holistic Health and Nutrition to help others do the same.
Megan continues to deepen the way she works with clients, using EFT and Matrix Reimprinting to transform subconscious beliefs, trauma, and the way we see and experience the world: healing the past to interrupt the present and change possibility for the future.
Megan joins me in studio to discuss the importance of identifying the root cause of trauma and illness, the impact of trusting your internal compass, and how you can live a fulfilling life that is true to who you are.
Quotes
“I felt this deadening inside myself, and it wasn’t really about the job because lots of people worked in that industry and were perfectly happy. But it was just about me and it not being my authentic place in the world.” - 09:12
“I decided to treat myself holistically and naturally… I did a bit of inventory of the past decade of my life…I basically spent the last 10 years of my life drinking, smoking, taking drugs, partying, not getting much sleep, working in a job that I didn’t like… I wonder what would happen if I just did all of the opposite things…” - 22:57
“I went to go and have rescans, and about 18 months later they said ‘You have completely reversed your condition’ which is pretty unbelievable.” - 26:19
“I understood the success I had of doing what I was doing, but I didn’t understand HOW I’d done it. So that inspired me to go and study holistic health and nutrition.” - 26:56
“I only go wrong when I ignore my own internal compass” - 31:00
“That’s where the real liberation lies…as soon as we can bring things back to the root cause rather than chipping away at the edges.” - 37:25

In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Julia Nicholson Harig. With a career spanning 25+ years and 6 countries, Julia is an ICF-certified Executive and Leadership Coach who works with leaders to own their voice and amplify their impact. She helps her clients develop the behaviours, relationships, and cognitive skills needed to identify their unique leadership style, overcome limiting beliefs, own their voice, build resilience and adaptability, and ultimately maximise their impact.

“Leadership IS communication. It’s communication with your team and it’s communication with yourself.” - 09:28
“If everything is anger, you’re going to react the same way every time. If it’s disillusionment or skepticism, which are both in the anger family, those are very different. So, you’re going to act differently.” - 16:40

In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I am joined by Angela Wilkins-Green who, at the age of 42, felt her world begin to crumble when she confronted the unexpected onset of perimenopause. But what she thought was going to be the end of her life as she knew it, became the beginning of a transformative journey that uncovered her purpose.

“When you’re trying to hold down a big corporate job, you can’t show that weakness.” - 12:52
“Our bodies are trying to help us. Lots of people think our bodies are trying to punish us… but it’s trying to help us recognise that something isn’t right and we need to do something about it.” - 18:03
“A lot of women that are doing the research for themselves might know more than their GP does.” - 19:36

In this episode of the Full Circle Podcast, I welcome Anne-Louise Harbutt, an Intuitive Spiritual Mentor and host of The Soul Living Podcast. Anne-Louise specialises in improving the lives of women by guiding them to connect with their true and higher selves. She has a profound connection with The Universe and she uses this to help her clients release emotions from their past and consciously create the life they have always wanted.
Anne-Louise joins me to discuss the transformational journey she took to discover and live her purpose, how she uses her gift to teach others to do the same, and how you can start trusting your intuition and opening the doorway to your own purpose.
Quotes
“I felt like I had been split in two. I felt raw, vulnerable… someone was seeing me – I was seeing me – for the very first time.” – 05:46
“Our intuition doesn’t always give us things that are easy to do. It will often guide us to do things that are totally out of our comfort zone. But it’s always right.” – 07:52
“We’re living a human existence. That has fear and emotions and vulnerability.” – 17:52
“All the time you’re waiting for that external validation, you’re giving your power away.” – 20:08
“One of the biggest shifts was putting myself first… When I started doing things for me, my relationships completely changed.” – 23:00
“Draw a line and say – yes that’s happened to me, but this is me moving forward. What relationship do I want with myself and who is the truest version of me?” – 26:10

Welcome back to Season 7 of the Full Circle podcast. This season I'm joined by a remarkable group of 8 guests, each with their own story of growth and self-discovery. Together, we'll explore the essence of learning, appreciation, and self-expression - uncovering the paths that led them to their true selves.
You can expect honest, heartfelt discussions, as we delve into the transformative moments that have shaped my guests' lives.
Along the way, we'll unravel new perspectives, foster understanding, and embrace the beauty of truth.
Join me every Monday for an inspiring journey of self-exploration, helping you rediscover the way back home to your true self.

Craving a sense of calm and balance in your life? The answer could be right at your doorstep. Join me in this enlightening conversation with Sam Wright, a Forest Therapy and Nature Connection Guide from Natural Edge Coaching. Sam's unique approach to coaching involves taking her clients into nature, where they can connect with themselves and the environment in a profound way. In this episode, we explore the benefits of nature connectedness, the importance of taking micro-moments throughout the day to connect with nature, and the power of simply being in the present moment. Whether you're feeling lost or simply need to recharge your batteries, Sam's insights will inspire you to open the front door, get outside, and start living a more connected and fulfilling life.
Quotes
“I feel lots of people don’t feel safe when stepping outside – but I do. There were arguments at home between my parents and I found that really difficult. Taking my dog Ben for a walk enabled me to essentially meditate in that space. No matter what was going on at home…I was just in the fields with my dog.” - 05:40
“It’s a place where you are not judged. There’s just the breeze, the trees, the squirrels, and the raccoons. You can speak out loud, you can walk, you can whistle, you can sing, you can scream, you can cry. That space is held for you.” – 08:36
“I take executives away from their everyday offices, and I believe that we get to them, to their truth, insights, the shift, the ease, the calmness, the clarity, quicker, when we are outside.” – 30:15
“Nature is restorative, I believe, and we are genetically attuned to being there, and there is theory after theory of reasons why.” – 38:30
