Episode 11: Kelly Adlam - Gaining control!

In this episode, we chat with Kelly on her journey and how she has found a way to turn her adversity into her success and gain control in her life. Not only did she go from being stuck and overwhelmed with her emotions to now bossing her business and gaining clarity in her life to be the woman she needed to be. Kelly had only just done an underwear shoot with me beforehand and really got back in touch with her feminine side and found the woman she always wanted to be. With Kelly - we found out there was a regular feeling of being unsafe, after losing her mum at 23, she had a huge mountain to climb and a mission to unlock in her where she was going alone. We set her a challenge to get away and find out more about herself. Kelly's learned how to use her emotions to create success and change more women's lives. If you're looking for a coach, someone you can open up to and become safe in yourself. Send me a message today and let us Unlock that person you need to be to feel totally in control.

Episode 8: Trying to be perfect with Anna Marie

I met Anna 3 years ago - She took part in a confidence challenge I ran. Not only did she start working with me doing photoshoots, we then became good friends.


Just before our big Portugal event, she opened up about some huge struggles for her and what was holding her back.


In just a few weeks, not only did she realise she was not alone but also in a place where she could do so much more. She's not only become even happier and more comfortable in herself, but she's also impacting more women's lives whilst actually achieving her potential.


She's become a role model in our team and I couldn't wait to share her journey with you all.

A letter to my Children EP: 1

Hey Team


Lifes has been vary crazily busy these last few months.

Moving home, having another baby, and then having one of my busiest months in Dec, really took its toll on me. 

But, out of all of it, I have a new journey and a fresh new mission in life to focus on. 

In this episode, I open up about my new journey and mission, and what I want to achieve with the "Identity Unlock" program.


There are also a lot of other new exciting things that are happening in 2023 and slowly but surely it will all happen.


Excited to make the podcast better and do what I always set out to do with it.

Can't wait to Unlock my true personality to you all and allow myself to become the person I have always wanted to be.

Using your negatives to find a positive...

Using your negatives to find a positive...

Sorry, it's been a while.

Life's become incredibly busy, my wife is currently 5 months pregnant, we're in the process of moving home, plus the business has been busier than ever. 


I throughout my journey have learned a lot from my mistakes, most of my mistakes have been me just not knowing enough about what I specialize in, it's impossible to know everything, but you're always learning. But, it's allowed me to find out a lot more about who you are as a person and what I actually can help people achieve. 


In this episode, I take it back a step and use my failings to hopefully show you how far you can grow when you take a chance to learn and realise how good you are at what you do, and why you actually do what you do.


I hope this lesson can help you evolve in a time when you're not feeling your best.
