I met today’s guest, Katey, while backpacking through Vietnam. We crossed paths on the infamous Ha Giang Loop and ended up travelling together for a while — sharing countless special moments and thought-provoking conversations. It didn’t take long for me to know I had to bring her onto the podcast to share some of those wonderful insights, reminisce on our adventures, and document the experience.In this episode, we explore the real side of solo travel — from the expectations and reasons we set off in the first place, to surrendering to spontaneity, embracing solitude, and navigating the not-so-glamorous realities of budget backpacking.We dive into the emotional load of long-term travel, the lessons in resilience and adaptability, and how adventures abroad can completely reshape your values and priorities. We also talk about the often-overlooked “post-travel come down” — that bittersweet return home where the world feels unchanged, but you know you’re not the same.Overall, it’s a wholesome, giggly conversation where we reflect on our highlights, those magical unplanned moments, how we’ve grown and evolved, and the relief we feel at having taken that leap to book a one-way ticket. Our hope is that it inspires you to take yours too.
Today I’m joined by Meg Lewis – a passionate advocate and activist in the health space, making a profound impact in respiratory care and palliative health.Meg shares her deeply challenging and complex journey with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis, a rare form of Pulmonary Fibrosis that can cause irreversible lung damage. The condition is life-altering, with no cure, limited management options, and a severe lack of research, awareness, and available resources. It’s a reality that many struggle to even imagine, yet Meg offers an unfiltered, human perspective — shining a light on the physical, emotional, and social challenges that come with living with such an under-recognised illness.She also speaks openly about the ripple effects of her diagnosis, including medically induced disordered eating. From the intense fear of food and choking brought on by her condition, to the emotional toll of weight gain from steroid treatment, Meg vulnerably explores the complex intersection between physical health, body image, and mental well-being.And yet, at the heart of her story is a powerful message about what it means to truly live — even in the face of uncertainty. Meg reminds us of the importance of filling life with the things you love, embracing the “everyday magic” of small joys, and finding moments of laughter and connection despite hardship.https://www.instagram.com/thelungnrestless/https://thelungnrestless.substack.comTikTok: The Lung N Restless

Backpacking solo through Southeast Asia was one of the most transformative, growth-filled experiences - packed with moments I could never have anticipated.In this long-overdue episode, I reflect on the biggest lessons travel taught me. From trusting in spontaneity and letting go of control, to rediscovering joy in simplicity, connection, and learning to truly rely on myself.I share the highs, the lows, the magic in the mess, and the raw, honest truths about what happens when you let life unfold without a predetermined plan. Tune in for stories about unexpected friendships, incredible adventures, pinch-me moments, and the beauty of immersing yourself in a whole new way of life. 
I’m taking a little break.I’ve got a one-way ticket to Southeast Asia… I’m about to go solo backpacking for I-don’t-know how long.It’s been a busy few years - building my business, chasing external validation, measuring my worth through grades, race times, podcast downloads, business bookings… all the things society perceived as 'successes.'But now, it's time to step away from all of that.I’ve been a student, a lecturer, a keynote speaker, a podcast host. Bbut rarely do I take time to acknowledge Lara.So this trip isn’t just about exploring a new place. It’s about reconnecting with me - without all the pressures, the expectations, or the constant need to perform.It will be about embracing the present moment, spontaneity, appreciating the beauty in just being - not always chasing the next thing.I want to wake up, not feel the pull of my laptop, not measure the value of my day by productivity.I want to wander aimlessly, learn to be okay without an immediate plan, do things for the pure joy of it, form connections, have impactful conversations with people from all walks of life.I know it will take time to fully transition and let go, as this mindset is deeply ingrained. But I hope to gradually shed the constant pressure to 'do' and learn to simply be - to embrace stillness, presence, and the freedom that comes with letting go of the need to always be moving forward.See you sometime in the future - for no doubt, many incredible stories, revelations and memories.
In this episode, I’m joined by a familiar face - Brittany!  In our previous podcast conversation, she shared her journey of recovering from anorexia. But today, we’re diving deeper, reflecting on how both of us have grown and evolved since then.This episode isn’t just about recovery or returning to a baseline. It’s about the transformative journey that comes after, a journey of self-discovery, healing, and re-establishing who you are at your core. Together, we explore what it means to reconnect with your authentic self, find alignment, and carve out a life of purpose and fulfilment.We first dive into the weight of societal expectations and how they can shape our decisions and identities, often leaving us feeling dissatisfied, and disconnected from our true selves. Both Britt and I have experienced the burden of doing what we thought was expected of us, rather than being fully honest about what we truly desire.But a recent trip provided Britt the opportunity to reflect, giving her fresh perspective and motivated her to begin building a life that aligned with her true self.Similarly, I am preparing to embark on a one way solo trip to Asia. For me, this trip is about stripping back labels and routines, distancing myself away from relentless cycles of work, productivity and burnout, and instead begin to reconnect with myself as just Lara.So, together, we explore the transformative power of relinquishing control, learning to embrace uncertainty and unpredictability, finding beauty in simply being, and rediscovering the joy of intentional living. It’s about embracing who we truly are, taking steps toward a life that feels honest and fulfilling, rediscovering passions, showing up authentically, and aligning with what truly matters. Find Brittany:@souluna.co.nzPrevious Episode: #23 Life with Anorexia: Malnourishment, Treatment Refusal, Dysmorphic Mindsets & Seeking Validation https://open.spotify.com/episode/6PyqkZezBbYcSaj9v5UEAz?autoplay=true
As my master's journey concludes, it feels surreal to witness the culmination of countless hours of dedication. This academic pursuit has been central to my life, shaping my routines and lifestyle, making it bittersweet to transition away from something so integral to my identity.This journey has been both rewarding and challenging. I've learned, grown, and formed amazing relationships, realised my true capabilities and discovered areas that align with my fundamental values - potential avenues I can leverage in the future. However, my perfectionism and drive have also led to moments of self-doubt and burnout. While these traits are often seen positively, they have pushed me to the edge at times.Beyond academics, this journey has been deeply personal. Academic theories and concepts have mirrored my own path, offering a lens through which I could see my growth and gain clarity.Beyond academics, this journey has been personal, almost cathartic. The theories and concepts I've studied have not just been subjects to memorise for exams -  they've resonated with my own experiences and challenges. They reflect my personal journey, and offer a lens through which I could view my own growth, allowing me to gain clarity and uncover a deeper understanding of myself. But now, it's time for a much-needed pause. I’m allowing myself to breathe, reassess, and reconnect with myself. For too long, I've equated my worth with productivity, accomplishments, how many tasks I’ve ticked off, and how many hours of work I’ve been able to cram in. I need to redefine success and embrace balance, remembering that my value isn't tied to academic achievements.Overall, this journey has been intense and transformative. While I've loved it, I now realise the need for distance. I'm grateful for the experiences and insights gained, and I'm ready to just be Lara, open to whatever comes next.
Today, I’m joined by Olivia - a Welsh International elite endurance athlete, ACA chartered accountant and first time Mummy to 10 week old baby Alexis, to talk about her running journey, the many transitions she’s experienced, and the power of never underestimating yourself.Olivia’s path in running has evolved over the years, from being a competitive short-distance sprinter to embracing the world of long-distance running.Her passion and love for the sport are unmistakable - she describes the mental escape and euphoria it offers, the sense of purpose it brings, and its profound impact on her mindset. For her, running is freedom - especially during those golden-hour runs along the water. This intrinsic joy, she believes, has fueled her incredible progress and achievements.Earlier this year, Olivia became pregnant. Determined to maintain her routine, sense of identity, and well-being, she continued training through this transition. And just a few weeks after giving birth, she returned to competition, redefining what it means to balance the roles of mother, athlete, and professional - an experience she describes as truly surreal.She also discusses how her perspective on competition has shifted with her evolving responsibilities, the gratitude for her body’s strength, the empowerment she’s found, and her lessons in never underestimating what our bodies are capable of.
Daria Ermolenko is a Relationship and Time-management Coach. With an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London, Daria runs her own coaching practice. She works with clients 1:1 to create meaningful change in their lives.Daria helps people break free from the limiting beliefs society imposes about what relationships 'should' look like, empowering them to create deeper, more meaningful connections.In today's episode, we ’ll be diving into a discussion on how to move beyond mediocre, mundane relationships and instead, build ones that are truly fulfilling and flourishing.We start by exploring the inner work required to establish healthy relationships. It all begins with knowing what you deserve and cultivating a strong relationship with yourself. You can't create genuine connections with others until you’re whole and fulfilled as an individual, comfortable in your own skin, and confident in your worth.This means recognising your own inherent value, meeting your own needs, and finding contentment in being alone - without relying on someone else to fill any emotional voids. As when you reach this place of self-assurance, your relationships will be driven by true connection, desire, and passion, rather than a need for external validation.From there, Daria shares her insights on how to move past the 'baseline' and seek relationships that truly align with your values and potential. We’ll discuss recognising red flags, having the courage to stand up for what you deserve, and the importance of communication and honesty - ensuring you're able to vocalise your needs and desires without fear. Authenticity also plays a role here -  showing up as your true self, wholeheartedly, without wearing a facade to fit someone else's expectations. Only then can you cultivate the kind of relationship that helps you flourish, rooted in mutual respect and true connection.Life Coach Directory profile: https://www.lifecoach-directory.org.uk/lifecoaches/daria-ermolenko Website: https://www.dariaermolenko.com/LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/daria-ermolenko-73b7b3187
Today, I'm joined by Thomas, a Behavioural and Cognitive and Compassion focused Psychotherapist as well as a Highly Specialised Eating Disorders Dietitian.  For over 20 years Thomas has been working in the NHS and/or Private sector with both adolescents and adults in the fields of Eating Disorders, Personality Disorder, body dysmorphic disorder and Complex Trauma. We explore how long-term, sustainable recovery requires looking beyond just the physical symptoms like weight gain and BMI restoration. True recovery involves addressing the underlying psychological factors—something that often gets overlooked. Together, we’ll discuss the importance of understanding the embedded beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and triggers that need to be considered for a more holistic approach to recovery.Tom offers his insights into the complexity of body image, explaining how it's shaped by a web of interrelated factors. For many, body image is dominated by an inescapable inner critic—constantly reinforced by toxic cultural messages that equate self-worth with appearance. These external pressures only magnify the struggle. So, we discuss the importance of untangling these deeply ingrained thought patterns and gaining clarity on the underlying motives driving them. Tom stresses the need for a personalised approach—working with patients in a way that aligns with their unique values and beliefs. This tailored strategy not only helps them gain insight into their thought processes but also equips them with the skills and resources needed to cope more effectively and sustain long-term recovery.We examine the characteristics often associated with eating disorders—such as perfectionism, unrelenting standards, and a drive for achievement. These traits can exacerbate disordered eating tendencies in the pursuit of validation and self-worth.But as Tom points out, the goal isn't to eliminate these traits; it’s to leverage them in a healthier way. These same traits, when redirected, can fuel recovery. This is something I relate to personally - my determination and stubbornness took me to a dark place with my anorexia, but they were also the very traits that powered my recovery. We talk about how to channel that energy into something positive and constructive, transforming what once fueled the disorder into a source of strength.thebodyimagetreatmentclinic.co.uk 
Today we’re joined by Sam, a friend and enthusiastic runner. Once overweight and unhappy, he turned his life around through sustainable lifestyle changes, discovering the joy of running. Now, he’s not only achieved an incredible physical transformation, hitting personal bests and smashing records, but also a profound psychological shift. So today, we dive into all things running - our personal journeys, insights, goals, ambitions, advice, and memorable race experiences.We talk of the community essence of running. How it’s about embedding yourself in a group of like-minded people who share your passions and values. It’s an opportunity to build friendships, find your people, and nourish your true self. When you surround yourself with a community that aligns with your principles, life feels more fulfilling, more authenticWe’ll also touch on the challenges many runners face, like getting caught up in the numbers — comparing paces, focusing on race results, and feeling the weight of expectations. But rather than fixating on the statistics, we need to take a step back and recognize how far we’ve come, the barriers we’ve overcome, and practise a little more self-compassion. Of course, it’s great to have challenges, to set goals, and to push ourselves, but running is about so much more than hitting personal bests. It’s about being present in the experience, soaking up the atmosphere, and smiling through the process@globerunnergriff
Today, we’re joined by a special guest, Saskia, a Positive Psychologist who is deeply passionate about helping individuals connect with their true selves. In this episode, we dive into the powerful concept of values—those fundamental principles that act as a compass, guiding our daily behaviours, decisions, and overall life trajectory.Values are more than just ideals; they are the driving force behind our actions and, when aligned with our lives, can lead to a profound sense of fulfilment and purpose.Saskia shares her insights on how we can identify these core values through introspection and self-awareness, and why it’s crucial to live in harmony with them.But in today’s fast-paced world, filled with endless distractions, staying connected to our values can be challenging… the constant barrage of digital noise and the pressures of modern life can pull us away from our true selves. So, Saskia emphasises the importance of creating intentional moments to pause, breathe, and disconnect from the digital world. By doing so, we can not only enhance our mental clarity and sense of balance but also reinforce our commitment to value-aligned living.Through this conversation, we hope to provide you with practical insights and inspiration on how to cultivate a life that is deeply rooted in your values. By understanding what truly matters to you and aligning your actions with these fundamental principles, you can navigate life with a greater sense of purpose and fulfilment.Find Saskia: www.flourished-you.comEmail: saskia@flourished-you.comBook: https://designingyour.life/books-designing-life-original-book/VIA Questionnaire https://www.viacharacter.org/account/register 
Today I’m joined by Jordan Foster, head coach at Coopah Run Coach, mum to Gracie and a keen runner.In our discussion, Jordan provides insight on her incredible journey through the world of running — from overcoming early hurdles of overtraining and burnout, to participating in numerous marathons, and now ultimately finding balance and a healthy approach to the sport.We discuss how running should be integrated into your lifestyle in a way that enhances your well-being. Often, with self imposed and external pressures, running can sometimes lead to feelings of stress and overwhelm. That's why we emphasise the importance of ensuring that running remains a positive and fulfilling part of your life - something that nourishes you rather than depletes you.Throughout our conversation, we address common challenges runners face, such as pre-race anxiety and the pressure to meet specific goals. Jordan introduces practical strategies to alleviate stress and underscores the importance of not comparing yourself to others - recognising that every runner has a unique journey, but in the end, we're all heading towards the same finish line, and we should focus on enjoyment, immersing yourself in the race day atmosphere, and fully experience the moment.Finally, Jordan offers valuable advice for upcoming races, encouraging runners to reflect on their training, celebrate milestones, and approach race day with a positive mindset. She reminds us that race day is not just about competition - it's a victory lap, a celebration of the hard work and dedication that has brought you to this moment.Jordan: __jordanfosterCoopah: coopahruncoachhttps://coopah.com/
Today, I’m joined by Louis, the founder of Clear For Men - a skincare brand dedicated to raising awareness about mental health.Louis’s journey to creating Clear For Men began during the lockdown when he found himself grappling with burnout, feeling lost, and lacking direction. His skincare routine became a crucial way to switch off and be present, which ultimately inspired him to create Clear For Men - to encourage men to “Take Five” and prioritise their mental well-being.In today’s conversation, we discuss the value in normalising conversations circulating mental health and the importance of speaking up in times of distress. Rather than suppressing emotions, hiding away, or isolating ourselves, there’s is immense power in embracing vulnerability, seeking support and being proactive in managing mental health.We also touch on the human tendency to focus on what we haven’t accomplished, often engaging in negative self-talk and comparing ourselves to others. It’s easy to get stuck in that rut, but in these moments, it’s essential to revisit our values, ensure we’re aligned with what nourishes us rather than what depletes us, and give ourselves credit for our achievements and the obstacles we’ve overcome.Moreover, we discuss the significance of incorporating regular self-care practices and non-productivity-oriented mindful moments. These habits are vital for maintaining a balanced, flourishing life, and should be embedded and sprinkled into our daily routines to prevent overwhelm and burnout. https://clearformen.co.ukSocial Media:Instagram & TikTok - @weareclear_Facebook - Clear For Men
Today, I’m joined by Beth, a certified ADHD Life Coach who brings a wealth of personal lived experience as a neurodivergent individual, and has dedicated her career to helping others understand and harness the unique strengths of their neurodivergent minds.In this episode, we discuss common challenges associated with neurodivergent brains, and how, by working through a strength-affirming perspective, we can reinterpret what we often perceive as challenges into strengths. We also discuss the link between neurodivergence and mental health. Neurodivergent individuals often face a world that doesn’t fully embrace differences, with societal norms and barriers reaffirming limiting beliefs - which can amalgamate into significant mental health challenges. Thus, Beth emphasises that difference does not mean deficit, highlighting the need to change societal perceptions. By dismantling these barriers, altering society’s problematic concept of ‘normal’ and fostering inclusive, psychologically safe cultures, we can promote authentic living and improve mental health for neurodivergent individuals.Beth then details the process of identifying and reframing limiting beliefs, sharing techniques for recognizing, acknowledging, and reframing these beliefs. Throughout she stresses the importance of acceptance and self-compassion as core elements of the journey - in turn  maximising neurodivergent strengths, and helping individuals leverage their unique skills for a more fulfilling life.Find Beth: https://www.unboundmindadhdlifecoaching.comwww.linkedin.com/in/beth-thomas-0a6800244
Today, I am joined by Michelle, an occupational therapist, to delve into the transformative role of OT in eating disorder recovery. Unlike other therapies that may focus on uncovering past triggers, occupational therapy is proactive, practical, and solution-oriented, grounded in the present moment. In our discussion, we explore how recovery isn't just about healing the body or addressing thoughts; it's about rediscovering and rebuilding your identity.When struggling with ED,  maladaptive behaviours can become so ingrained that they feel like an integral part of who you are. So, recovery involves unlearning a life centred around disordered behaviours and reconstructing a healthier identity and lifestyle. This the slow and steady process of rediscovery, uncovering new routines, finding new sources of joy and fulfilment, reconnecting with old passions, or discovering new interests that were overshadowed by the eating disorder is key for a holistic recovery.Additionally, we discuss the importance of reintegrating yourself into relationships. It's about ensuring the people around you see you for who you are today, support your recovery journey, and are willing to shift and grow with you.Throughout this episode, we revisit the concept of living in alignment with your values, detailing how maintaining authenticity and living in accordance with your fundamental principles can lead to a meaningful, purposeful, and authentic life and sustainable, successful recovery.Website: https://www.soul-priority.com/meet-the-teamLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/soulpriority/ 
In today's episode, I reflect on the pivotal lessons I've learned over the past year.It has been a growth-provoking journey, filled with insights that have shaped my approach to life and well-being.From appreciating the small joys in life to the importance of value-led living, I've gathered 23 valuable takeaways that have enriched my 23rd year.Join me as I dive into these lessons, discussing the significance of true friendships, the power of living in the present, and the necessity of prioritising the relationship with oneself, the strength gained from internal validation… and so much more.Whether it's embracing uncertainty, investing in personal growth, or finding peace in simple moments, hopefully this chatty, slightly disorganised solo conversation can inspire you on your own journey.
In today's episode, we have the privilege of sitting down with Rob Hoskins, a former police officer turned keynote speaker, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for mental health - to  delve into inspiring stories of resilience, growth, and the pursuit of happiness. Rob's journey began in the intense and demanding world of law enforcement. As a police officer, his primary focus was on protecting communities and others, often neglecting his own mental well-being in the process. The constant exposure to stress, negativity, and traumatic incidents took its toll, leaving him emotionally drained and psychologically exhausted.One of the biggest challenges Rob faced was the pressure to conform to the identity imposed by his uniform and role. This barrier inhibited vulnerability and prevented open discussions about mental health. The fear of judgement and the stigma surrounding masculinity made it difficult for him to seek help or even acknowledge his struggles.However, Rob's journey took a transformative turn as he embraced the importance of mental health and happiness. He now advocates for openness and encourages others to choose happiness.So, in our conversation, we explore the seven steps of happiness… discussing concepts of acceptance, self-awareness, aligning one's life with their fundamental beliefs, and surrounding oneself with a supportive social circle, whilst reinforcing that happiness is not merely a destination - but a journey of self-discovery and growthTedX Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b-ExRwZktcFind Rob:https://www.instagram.com/robhoskingofficial/https://www.youtube.com/@robhoskingofficialhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/robhoskingofficial/Website- www.robhosking.co
Today, I am joined by Ali Hollest, a holistic personal and professional development coach, podcaster, triathlon coach, and athlete. Committed to advocating a holistic approach to wellness, Ali aims to inspire both physical and psychological performance.In this episode, we discuss how sports participation extends far beyond physical achievements. Rather, it enriches our psychological well-being, fosters growth, personal development, and cultivates heightened self-awareness.We discuss the therapeutic benefits of running, emphasising the importance of embracing the process over merely aiming to cross finish lines or fixating on statistics. Training should be fun, playful, an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and connect with like minded others - embedded sustainability into your lifestyle - allowing for longevity, and overall fulfilment. A highlight of our talk is Ali's recounting of the "Snowdon 6 Ways Challenge," an incredible endurance event he designed to honour the memory of his friend, Milo. He details this gruelling challenge, covering 80km and over 5200m of ascent, with limited rest between legs. Supported by a team of close friends and an incredible crew, This challenge not only showcased human resilience but also the power of community and support, capturing the essence of what Ali advocates.More about Ali: "To cut a colourful story short, I have felt lost, I have thrived, I have grieved, I have made more than my fair share of mistakes.  I have been in some incredibly low lows yet also reached some brilliant high highs.  My life is in no way perfect and I don't believe it ever will be.  However I am happy in the knowledge that I live every day the best that I can, drawing on all my past and present experience.From a young age sport has always been a constant in my life, whether playing, coaching or supporting.  I believe there is so much sport can give us, not just the physical and physiological benefits.  Sport challenges us, makes us problem solve, learn the benefits and growth from winning and losing.  It enables us to create relationships that stretch far beyond the sporting arena.  My employment history has been, well, let's say varied.  From the early years of hospitality across Europe, to bushcraft and survival skills, to setting up and running my businesses I feel I have learnt a heck of a lot along the way.  You know what? I've set up businesses that have thrived.  I've also set up businesses that really haven't!  It's all part of the jigsaw puzzle that will keep on needing to be taken apart and built back up again!"Find Ali:www.triswimcoaching.com@triswimcoaching@ali_hollest@evolve_pod
Today I'm joined by Alex, a former police officer, who courageously shares his journey through mental ill health.Alex opens up candidly about his struggles with mental health, feeling lost, like a burden, and experiencing extreme lows, including contemplating taking his own life.He attributes much of this struggle to the accumulated stressors and traumas witnessed while working in the police force. Due to the culture of silence within the service, Alex didn't feel comfortable speaking up or seeking help, fearing it would expose perceived weaknesses and compromise his reputation of masculinity and strength. As a consequence, his issues only progressed - he was medically discharged due to psychological trauma.However, Alex eventually reached a breaking point where he realised he needed to start dealing with his mental health issues. Through the intervention of a psychologist, he gained heightened self-awareness, learned practical coping mechanisms, steadily removed the layers of shame associated with mental illness, and the strength found in vulnerability.Today, inspired by his experience, Alex is motivated to destigmatize mental health. Hence, he co founded The BroProject, focuses on creating safe spaces that are free of judgement, egos and stigma, ultimately prioritising a sense of togetherness, community, and conversation. Finally, we discuss the necessity of prioritising one's mental health, emphasising the transformative power of looking after your wellbeing and investing in yourself.Taking time for self-care activities isn't indulgent, but rather an essential practice for recharging and equipping oneself  to navigate life's daily challenges. And while there may be feelings of guilt associated, it's vital to recognise the immense value in scheduling time for activities that promote self-compassion and personal development.This will ultimately allow you to thrive, show up as the best version of yourself, creating a stronger foundation from which to support others and contribute positively to the world around us. Find Alex: LinkedIn - The BroProject CICFacebook - BroProject CICInsta - broproject_cic
