Expanding Purpose

Welcome to the Expanding Purpose podcast - a show about businesses, brands and people behind them who are contributing to the positive shift our planet needs. This week I'm interviewing Gaia Harvey Jackson - a facilitator of women's empowerment, ecstatic dance and authentic connection. Gaia's approach to self development is grounded in such a deep connection to nature, to wildness, and to creative silliness and joy. This episode is a fantastic listen for anyone who struggles with Imposter Syndrome, who is nurturing a desire to continuously heal and become more of themselves, and who is actively looking for ways to figure out their purpose. We talk a lot about our approaches to overcoming self doubt, cultivating an unshakeable relationship with yourself, and the power of vulnerable held spaces surrounded by your peers for transformational healing experiences.  >> Connect with Gaia Harvey Jackson >> gaiaharveyjackson.com instagram.com/gaiaharveyjackson If you're seeking training and support to hold transformative spaces yourself, I highly recommend checking out Gaia's offering! She is running a facilitation training programme in February 2022 that was not yet announced when we recorded this episode.  Join a community of women who are committed to their own journey of personal growth, and are ready to hold space for others to awaken to their power and true nature. https://www.gaiaharveyjackson.com/facilitation-training

Welcome to Episode 3 of the Expanding Purpose Podcast - a show about businesses and individuals who are contributing to the positive shift our planet needs. After taking a little break to ride the waves of this hectic summer.... we're back talking to Ash Brown from Ecosystem Restoration Camps. Ash is an incredible advocate for protecting the natural world - and all the things us humans can do to re-establish it in the face of climate change. If you’ve been feeling chronic eco anxiety and the desire to do more, this episode is for you. We talk all about the course Ash has developed in collaboration with ERC and Gaia network - educating and empowering people to start their own ecosystem restoration projects.

Welcome to episode 2 of the Expanding Purpose Podcast - hosted by freelance writer and purpose-driven brand wizard Anna Josette Herber. This week I'm talking with Sharon Long - a deeply compassionate, enterprising mental health counsellor and therapist offering some of the most effective healing methodologies in existence through her business Instatherapy.  We talk about the mental health revolution, what's holding people back from getting the help they need to heal, and the art of reprogramming your amygdala to overcome gross memories from the past and learn how to like yourself more. We all know that getting therapy is what you're 'meant' to do - but there can often be a lot of barriers in the way. Money, shame, finding the right therapist, feeling like your problems aren't bad enough to justify it.... These are common stories that are holding people back from getting assistance with their mental health. If you've ever thought about getting therapy but questioned how and if it could help you - this podcast could be just the insight you need. If you'd like to get early access to Sharon's wonderful self help course Reclaim Your Happy, sign up via her Facebook page here, there's loads of free resources too. > https://www.facebook.com/longlonglast Sending all the love and support in these difficult times.

Welcome to the first episode of the Expanding Purpose Podcast - a show about businesses and brands who are contributing to the positive shift our planet needs. This week we're talking all things cannabidiol - or CBD, as it's known on the high street - with CBD Bristol owner Jonathan Higgs. Hosted by freelance writer and purpose-driven brand wizard Anna Josette Herber -  we talk about the many different uses of this compound, the potential effects of legalisation, and how we can support small honest businesses as larger interests continue to dominate the market.
