Gregory says, ‘Atlas Accessories got started because at 55 I decided I wanted to do something for myself’. It brings together his love of jewellery design, interest in meaning and symbolism and enjoyment of storytelling. In fact as soon as he’d got some of his designs made into ‘actual proper pieces of jewellery’ people were asking him where they could buy the bracelets. The next stage was coming up with the name, Gregory says, ‘the whole concept behind the accessories is meaning and symbolis...
Robert says, ‘I love getting to impact people’s lives and being able to share nuggets of gold and clues I’ve learned from travelling around the world and being able to train people’. He’s been lucky enough to travel around the world and taught over half a million students helping them to find out what their passion is and how it is achievable if they follow the ‘6 life changing habits’ which are ‘real, relevant and repeatable’. Robert grew up in a close-minded society where he was told, ‘You ...
Jennifer is a financial wellness expert who started out helping people with their retirement plans. What she realised was that people struggled with it because, ‘they didn’t have the money management today to begin to focus on bigger things like not needing a job someday. She realised a more holistic approach was needed because, ‘It’s hard to be well, to be happy and healthy if you don’t have a good sense of your finances and a good balance in them’. After financial troubles hit the finance c...
Klaudia is a mindset and success coach for women. She says, ‘You will find plenty of people who will talk about mindset recently, and say you need to be constantly happy to attract positive things and you know what that’s ok but that comes later’. She explains she helps people to understand where their emotions come from, ‘Whatever you do now, whatever your belief system is, whatever patterns you have, fears maybe creep in every single day and they have come from somewhere. They haven’t been ...
Denise started making granola and muesli for her family during the pandemic in 2020. She explains, ‘It started out of pure necessity just for my own consumption and my families’ consumption – we love to eat granola and muesli’. After getting the thumbs up from her family she started to give her gourmet granola and muesli to a few friends and neighbours to see what they thought and that’s when it took off and Engrained was born. Denise says, ‘I did not set out to start a business at all but so...
David works in financial services, but he says, ‘outside of my 9 to 5 I spend as much time outdoors on the water doing whatever that I possibly can’. He is also the County Training Manager at South London Scouts and I wanted to talk to him about how he felt the last 18 months had impacted the young people he works with. ‘On a positive note, I think the last 18 months have been great in that there’s been worldwide connections which would have never happened, we’ve met people, made new friends ...
When Wishes Change is about how Tricia and her family navigated the miracle birth of her daughter Annabelle and her death 6 days later. It’s about grief and about how life can change but it is also about hope. After falling pregnant Tricia and her husband Jonas decided to have a test to find out the gender of the baby but they also found out she had Trisomy 18 and were recommended to have an abortion. After much thought and prayers they decided, ‘we wanted to keep the pregnancy and just give ...
Maria is a relationship coach who coaches codependents, ‘women and men that are in recovery from codependency to attract and manifest that relationship’. And by that relationship she means helping them to find, ‘a healthy loving relationship’. She goes on to explain, ‘40 years ago they could tell that if you grew up with addiction… you’d have some of the characteristics of codependency but the conversation has moved on and today we know that one of the hallmarks of codependent behaviour is yo...
What is ‘My Black Dog’? Niki says, ‘it is a peer-to-peer support service for people who are struggling with their mental health’. With two big differences, ‘all our volunteers have a lived experience which means they’ve been through it before - they totally get it - they know how you feel’ and instead of calling you text. Deciding to make the service text only was done to make it easier for people to communicate how they were feeling. Niki says the fear of saying how you are feeling out loud…...
Petter Erik and Maria set up AweSM to help ‘freedom-seeking coaches, consultants and experts reach millions of people, and grow their business with the Nordic No-Nonsense Approach’. Maria says for them the pandemic was a blessing ‘because what we do is help... people who want to create online courses or are coaches and consultants and we help them to build businesses online. And of course, when the pandemic hit what happened was that a lot of our potential clients just lost everything… and pe...
Kirsten set up the personal and business advisory service The Next Half in March 2021 after she saw a need that she knew she had the expertise to fill. ‘This one person had a great business model, but she didn’t have the confidence to present it and she started to cry… that’s when I had my epiphany that my business experience can help women who are my age that might not have had my business expertise but have fantastic ideas’. There is no doubt Kirsten has the business expertise with 30 years...
Pauline is an editor and historian, part-time tour guide and single mother of three young children who is based in Reims France. I wanted to talk to her about what the past 18 months have been like. France has had much stricter restrictions than the UK so what was it like juggling a busy freelance editor job and looking after three children of 14, 11 and 3 ½ years old. Pauline says, ‘the last 18 months has been very tough but also very interesting in terms of organisation’. Having a rou...
Sam is a textile artist and designer who has been working in the creative industry for 25 years. Three years ago, she decided to start ‘Child Of Project’. Sam says, ‘It was born from grief, from the death of my father, but it’s kind of turned into the most beautiful creative project which is all about resilience and human strength’. I’ll let her explain more, ‘The project… is all about opening up the conversation around addiction and recovery but in a really creative and contemporary way’.&nb...

In July 2019 Bethan walked out of her job wanting a new challenge. Fast forward one month later and she is on holiday sat in her Mum’s favourite bar Erics in Marbella surrounded by beautiful displays of bottles and colour plus lots of macarons. Suddenly the sparks of creativity started to go off fuelled by her background as an artist and her determination and discipline honed as an athlete. ‘We don’t have this in the UK there’s nowhere that you go to that has this sophistication, and co...
Maria decided to change her life in 2019. She says, ‘I felt that I really need profound change in my life. I felt like my soul was screaming for change’. Initially, she had no idea what she wanted to do so turned to astrology because she wanted to find out what her mission in life was. After sharing some of the things she had learnt from astrology with friends and getting positive responses she realised she was destined to be an astrologer to help people find their mission in life. Maria talk...
Javier is a firefighter in the London Fire Brigade and a personal trainer specialising in outdoor training. I wanted to talk to him about training to be a firefighter during the pandemic. When he first applied to be a firefighter, it was 2019 and we had no idea about what was going to happen. Jump to 8th June 2020 when he started the training course, and the world had changed. One of the first implications was that his cohort couldn’t go in to get measured for their uniforms… Yes, you g...

This was a huge achievem...
