Personally, for me, I've been fortunate to meet so many incredible people on my journey.
When I saw what Mesha had gone through, the story he's been able to tell which has impacted 1000's of lives it's inspiring.
Mesha has a stoma and shares everything about who he is and how he deals with his life so that others who have to go through the same thing can have more information and less stress around this life-changing procedure.

Episode 12: Beth May... Becoming Fearless
Beth is the OG of the Identity Unlock.
When we started working together Beth was in a place where she completely didn't see her potential and what she was leaving on the table...
In the last 12 months, not only has she found a version of herself who has completely turned her life around but she's been able to change more women's lives along the way too.
She had an epic realisation in Portugal at our last 'Bigger Thinking' event and since then she has achieved so much that I needed to get her onto the podcast.

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 10: Never give up with Danni Chianta
This episode was long overdue for me, the reason why, is Danni has been on a rollercoaster of a journey and since we started working together she has jumped at every challenge, through every hurdle, overcome every obstacle, and won.
Danni's story was one I wasn't aware was as deep as she opened up about on this podcast.
Coming from being in a place where she was deeply unhappy, to now completely changing the lives of people she works with.
She's come from a place of lack of clarity to knowing herself better than ever.
This podcast is one not to miss.
If you want to reach out to Danni and let her know how you found the podcast here is her Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dannichianta/
If you're a coach who is holding themselves back, if you're a coach who knows they have so much more to unlock in themselves then please reach out, I want to help you unlock your version 2.0
Episode 9: Becoming Undeniable with Grace Jones
Today, we have an epic podcast episode with Grace Jones.
Grace is definitely someone who utilises her mindset to win. I love chats with people who have the mindset to win, she has the psychology to unlock that place in her brain where there is nothing left on the table.
She is a 2 x British Figure Champion and that was no easy road to travel.
Grace is working with me on the Identity Unlock to Unlock her new "Undeniable program" helping utilise her back story and the crazy drive for success she has to really change women's lives.
Want to follow Grace check out her Instagram
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.
Episode 7: How to turn bad days around???
How do you turn a bad day around???
When you have adversity hit, how do you manage and process your life when issues turn up?
In this episode we look at the idea of not looking at the issue itself, but, at how we manage the issue inside of ourselves. How we use our emotions and how we find new paths and solutions to find a faster path to getting ourselves back on the forward path.
I hope this episode gives you a different way of looking at issues.

Episode 5: Understanding your memories before making decisions.
In this episode, I talk about going back to a decision or a memory you have, when a critical event happened where it allowed you to see an outcome that was something you wanted to achieve and then in many cases,1 it didn't happen.
From that, the situation of not achieving it, then leads to a memory/ feeling that when an opportunity with a risk is to happen again, the human element of your brain then recalls that feeling and affects the vision of a positive outcome.
As I am on my journey to being more and learning how to be a professional public speaker, I am consistently trying to learn to talk better and with more clarity. These podcasts are a documentation of this journey as I learn to use my words with more wisdom to achieve my goal.

If you want to build this for yourself and also take the chains off your business and start identifying as the leader you've always wanted to be whilst truly finding your purpose, book a call today to see if we are a good fit to work together.
Episode 3: Overcoming Comparison...
Last week, I lost my hard drive, I need the hard drive to do the podcast how I want to be done.
Then this week, I film the session, only to realise, I turned the wrong Mic on..
So this episode is a bit rough sounding, but I still give a few more insights into why Comparison takes away so many of the qualities we have and what we are capable of doing with ourselves.
Thank you for tuning in and hope you enjoy the episode.

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.
Overcoming your personal boundaries
This week's episode of the podcast is with a top top gentleman Matt James who I have had the pleasure of working with a couple of times now. Matt opened up about his journey and what bought him here today. It was a great insight into how someone can turn a negative into a huge positive and then change the lives of others.
I'm extremely grateful for Matt sharing his story with you.
