What do you do when at one time, you couldn’t walk through Canal Street in Manchester without seeing or hearing your name?  Your face is painted everywhere Bars are named after you.  And then your name all but disappears and nobody really knows why.  You just want to stop everything, find a little cubby hole and take the batteries out.    This was my guest on this episode of Mojo Matters. And the fascinating story of a Manchester drag queen who nearly gave everything up but was determined to get her mojo back. I’m joined by the very brilliant Belinda Scandal who this year is celebrating 25 years in the drag business.  And who is also founder and presenter of Your Manchester TV – The number one channel that brings together the city and community of Manchester to talk.  Find out  How her career in drag began as a happy accident.  The tragedies and challenges she's overcome in life The Strong Northern Women who inspire her and have helped her keep going even when times are tough. 

Is any of this you?  You’ve always secretly known deep within you that you’re destined for much bigger stuff? Maybe you want to make it to the top in your career or your industry? Perhaps you’ve harboured an ambition to have your own business and want to make it a reality? Maybe you want to get your business to a whole new level and achieve financial freedom? Or maybe it’s some other big dream you have?  It’s hard and frustrating at times isn’t it? Knowing inside you’re made for bigger stuff when there are people around you who laugh at you or discourage you. Maybe they call you a dreamer and you should make do with your lot.    My guest on this episode of mojo matters has always known inside him he’s made for big stuff and he actually makes it happen. And I really admire that about him because even though I know he says people have wanted to deter him in the past, he just has this utter self belief and confidence and doesn’t let the naysayers get in his way.  Up until he was in his late teens, Chris Taylor was destined to become a professional cricketer and then an injury killed his dream.  He had to two options. Wallow. Or keep making other big stuff happen.  With little prior experience and just inbuilt self belief and confidence, Chris has started and scaled several businesses. He’s now having great success with his latest business venture. And he’s still only 27 years old . We talk about finding your business mojo, motivation, inspiration and Chris gives you loads of practical insights.  Connect with Chris Taylor  LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/christaylor-p44/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/christayloronline/ You Tube https://www.youtube.com/c/ChrisTaylorOnline Connect with Jo Britton LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/jobrittonpace Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jobritton.mojo/

This episode is for you if you think life can be a bit of a twat at times and you want to take back control of it.  In 2018, Carolyn's world imploded. She had a high flying corporate career but had been forced out of a job she loved.  Her partner told her their relationship was over. Within the space of 10 days, she lost her job, her home, her relationship and the ready-made family that had filled the void left by her inability to conceive her own children.  A brush with suicide followed.  She realised she'd lived a life of shame and blame.  This was a catalyst to go on her own journey with self discovery to become a happier, more confident, self-compassionate and unapologetic version of herself.  In this episode, Carolyn shares her story, redefines what it means to be selfish and gives you her 'How to process' to 'de-twat your life'. Carolyn is author of ‘All The Twats I Met Along The Way’ and its upcoming sequel, ‘De-Twat Your Life!’ as well as the self-help book, ‘Redefining SELFISH. No Guilt. No Regrets’.  Connect with Carolyn: www.carolynhobdey.co.uk  Connect with me, Jo Britton on Instagram @jobritton.mojo for daily motivation and mojo fuelling tips and techniques. 

The one about courage, strength and resilience  As human beings we have a remarkable capacity to be courageous, strong and resilient.   For this episode to kick start a new series of Mojo Matters, I’m flying solo because there’s one every day person that I wish I could interview right now and but I can’t as she’s no longer with us. She is one of the people I truly admire.  So I’m going share parts of her story – the parts I know about – in a hope that it provides some inspiration.  And dedicate this episode to her. In her honour and memory.   Maria Durejko, my Bapcha, my late Ukrainian grandmother. And dedicate it to the people of Ukraine in their most difficult hours. This episode was recorded on day 5 of Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Because this episode is about strength, courage and resilience.  And how we can all find this within us when faced with the most challenging of times.   Life doesn’t come with a map.  And everyone will experience twists and turns, from everyday challenges to traumatic events with more lasting impact. As human beings – in part thanks to resilience – we are generally able to adapt well over time to life-changing situations and stressful situations. I share four ways that you can start to build personal resilience  Slava Ukraini!

I’m joined on this episode by the legend that is Janet Murry – a content marketing expert, podcaster and key note speaker around the world who has built a six figure business using the strategies she teaches to others to help them build online audiences.  But we’re not talking content marketing particularly on the show.  I wanted to talk to Janet because quite frankly she’s a big inspiration.  What she probably wasn’t aware of was that it was Janet who helped me take one of my first steps to innovate my business when the pandemic hit because I listened to her brilliant podcast – it was an episode about how to grow your Instagram account it was this that helped me get on Instagram and start innovating my business.  And it was also an email that she sent which really helped me re-frame things and take action because I’d been struggling as a business owner at the time the pandemic hit – I’d lost all of my business and also I felt like it would be an inappropriate time to sell. But Janet’s email came at the right time and helped me see this differently as she was talking about not being embarrassed about this.  But people out there might think that this success comes easy – but it’s not all been plain sailing for Janet and I know for a fact that she works incredibly hard. And along the way there have been challenges.   In this episode we talk about  - How she went from journalist in the national press to successful business owner - How does she juggle running a really busy business with being a mum and how does she stay productive and motivated? - How to be more courageous and confident  - Insights into Janet's recent ADHD diagnosis, how it typically presents in women and how this can be both a curse and a blessing plus strategies she puts in place which she says gives her ways to cope  Connect with Janet: https://www.instagram.com/janmurrayuk/ https://www.janetmurray.co.uk/ Janet references Dr Ned Hallowell Book ADHD 2.0  https://drhallowell.com/read/books-by-ned/ Listen to Janet's Podcast Courageous Content  https://open.spotify.com/episode/6DKF7fvFmguKW12PNg3GBn?si=9f3140e2dccd4b3d https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/why-i-trolled-my-troll-and-dont-regret-a-thing/id1569783857?i=1000527084498 Connect with Jo Britton https://www.instagram.com/jobritton.mojo/ Receive my e-newsletter - weekly insights to put into action from the world of neuroscience to improve your personal performance without holding back and burning out email my jo@pacedevelopment.co.uk
