In this episode, Sam and Kelly's conversation moves from Bette Midler to Kelly's Grandma as they share why it is 'ok' to have many interests and to be whoever and do whatever you are inspired to do! And as they share, they reflect on some patients who inspired Sam and how Kelly inspired her plastic surgeon when she was a patient of his - a young child with 75% burns... This is a beautiful episode full of reflections around inspiration.

Tracy is UNSTOPPABLE - I met Tracy back in 2019 when we were both nominated for a Woman of Inspiration Award
Her story is quite literally, mind-blowing and I just KNOW this is the dose of inspiration we all need today because everything and everyone she touches is transformed.

Oh, and did I mention she was born a 4 way amputee???
Tracy tells us that success depends on perseverance, along with a large dose of humour and motivation. She shares her mantra, âIf I can do it, you can do it!â

Tune in to discover what your host Sam Bell and this week's Inspired Woman have in common. Listen in as they share how they became 'Golden Sheep' as they share insights into generational trauma and why the only way to move forward is by not looking back!
About Michelle:
Michelle is a Confidence & Clarity Coach helping women like you discover who they are, and show up with more Confidence to create a life & business they love.
I had the Disney dream like most young girls do, to meet her prince, get married, have a family and live happily ever after. It wasnât long after we married that things fell apart and I was starting over as a single mom of a newborn and 3-year-old daughter.
This couldnât have been further from my life's plans.
My real wake-up call came after being in a lonely empty second marriage, and I had thoughts of smothering my husband with a pillow. I knew something had to change NOW.
Donât worry, I didnât do it! It was in that moment I realized I was not the woman I used to be and that made me scared and sad.
"Who am I ⊠what do I wantâŠ? Who do I want to be for my daughters. I couldnât imagine this was it, this was all there was to life"... maybe you relate?
That began my Soul Journey, consuming all the courses and learning I could. I drew the line from how things were to how I wanted them to be. Things began to change. Within about a year I had everything I had journaled about. The job, a house of my own, healthy love, and I am living a life that is beyond my wildest dreams.
âIf you made it this far, Iâm guessing you can relate to her story and are ready to make changes. Trust me when I say she can show you how to Create a Life You Love.

Join your host Sam Bell as she introduces you to this week's Inspired Woman - Nola Peacock. This is a powerful conversation between 2 nurses who have both been inspired by the children they have cared for and reflect on how they have learned from them.
Nola introduces you to Bella Brave - who was a social media star and TikTok user who died at the age of 10 after a battle with multiple medical conditions. Her real name was Isabella Thomson, and she was born with several rare health conditions, including dwarfism and no immune system. This amazing little girl impacted Nola's life when she wrote and sang a song for her. Since then, Nola herself has been diagnosed with Breast Cancer and is now navigating a Stage 4 diagnosis. Listen in as Nola shares her journey and how Bella inspires her to share her story and support others navigating illness.
About Nola:
"I am a breast cancer survivor. When I was first diagnosed, I was terrified. As a former oncology nurse, I was focused on complications, side effects, and long-term effects of treatment. My youngest daughter was getting ready to move out in a few months. As a single mom, I had no idea how I would manage on my own. Plus I was self-employed. How would I keep working? How would I pay for everything? There were moments when I just wanted to give up. I realized that I was going to have to walk my talk. As a confidence coach for kids, I have worked with hundreds of children to boost their confidence, help them become more resilient and develop a powerful mindset. I knew I needed the same strategies in order to walk through my cancer journey. With the help of a friend, we created a cancer care plan for me. My cancer care plan made a huge difference. I felt more relaxed. I developed many different ways to manage side effects from chemo and radiation. I was able to keep my spirits up and navigate through treatment with grace."
