  • Today, I have the pleasure to speak with  Kimberley Gowdy, author of The Colorless Womb and Founder of MOBY (Mommy Older Baby Younger)

    Born in Alabama, and raised in Connecticut, Kimberly always yearned for a child. After seven failed pregnancies and being trapped in an abusive marriage with a spouse, she parted ways with her husband to start a new life in Atlanta, Georgia.

    Years later she met her husband who shared the same dreams of having a child.

    ​Kimberly knew that she could become pregnant, however, she could not carry a child to term.  The couple entertained the possibility of surrogacy but experienced one disappointment after another.  With only two embryos left, failure was not an option.  Desperate to find the perfect surrogate led them to the biggest surprise of their lives—an ultimate match in an unforeseen package...

  • Today, I have Jonathan Nazario who is an 18-year-old self-published author who has written a self-help book called ‘The World in Which We Live’ .

    Jonathon always had ideas but needed an outlet to share them. He tried various methods and they didn’t work, so went back to the good old reliable method – writing.

    During that time he went on a journey, watching a lot of motivational content on YouTube, trying to find the best ones, and comparing the different metrics. That's what decided the genre of his book.

    Throughout the interview, Jonathon challenges my thinking on every level. For his age, he is full of wisdom beyond his years. He is not your typical teenager!   He is very bright and a very deep thinker.  His thinking process is a breath of fresh air.

  • Today, I have a deep conversation with Raj Montage who is an Empath Coach from Michigan, US.

    Having grown up in an unstable family, Raj didn't feel free to be himself at any time. Instead, he was viewed as a flawed and lost teenager. As addictions took control of his life to mask the pain, his true self was imprisoned behind negative self-belief for many years. He was so young and certain that not being alive, not existing, would be less horrible than having his existence stigmatized and looked down upon by those whose love he so desired.

    It wasn’t until he’d hit rock bottom that he started an extensive recovery path that he started to heal and come out of this darkness.

    Fast forward, Raj’s mission is to help as many people to heal and become the best versions of themselves through his podcast, ‘The On-Call Empath’, where he interviews experts and guests from all over the world, who share personal struggles, and coaching.

    We talk about and what you will learn:

    ➤ Raj’s background

    ➤ What is narcissistic abuse?

    ➤ The traits and behaviours

    ➤’Copying skills

    ➤’Grey Rocking’

  • Today, I have a beautiful, thought-provoking and soul-stirring conversation with Michael Phillips, from Dallas, Texas. He is the founder of Life Prep and currently serves as the Chief Engagement and Fulfilment Officer for the TD Jakes Foundation. He is chairman of 50CAN and also serves as a board member of KuriosEd.

    After losing his father, suffering a life-altering car accident, and losing his college scholarship, Michael turned to selling drugs to make ends meet. But when his house was raided, he was arrested and thrown into a living nightmare.

    When it looked like he would be sentenced to spend years behind bars, the judge gave him a choice - go to a special college program for adjudicated youth or face the possibility of a 30-year prison sentence. It wasn't hard to pick. From that choice, a mission was born - to help change the school-to-prison pipeline system. He discovered that education was the path to becoming who he was created to be.

    In this powerful interview, we go deep as Michael talks passionately about helping people live better lives, and his determination to drive social change with lasting transformational benefits to society.

    We also talk about and what you will learn:

    ➤ His background

    ➤ The importance of creating a culture of possibility not punishment

    ➤ School-to-prison pipeline. What we can do to dismantle it

    ➤ Why the education system needs shaking up

    ➤ The importance of creating a wholistic approach to parenting

    ➤ Why you should invest in your children’s passion

    ➤Spirituality

    ➤ Creating generational equity

    Plus much more…… lots of advice throughout.

    Michael's practical steps provide a way forward to anyone wanting to help create space for collateral hope in the lives of young people around them.

  • Today, I have the pleasure to speak to Hugo Pickleford-Wardle, co-founder of Startup Sherpas.  A collective of amazing people striving to help teens bring their ideas to life. Teaching them to do product and innovation properly.

    If anyone has the right credentials to teach children how to build a start-up, Hugo is the man.

    He started his first business at 6 years old, selling Pot Pourri to golfers in Worcester!  Since then he has done lots of Startups.  He created Mr Truffles, selling fresh truffles to Domestic and Michelin Star chefs.   He created an airline for skiers and has worked with some of the world’s biggest companies like Times and Vogue.  He had his own innovation consultancy which had a couple of million-pound revenue.

    Sounds like a success story?  Hugo has also had his equal share of failure along the way.

    They were working with adult career changers and realised that they were reaching people too late.  Teaching them entrepreneurial skills which they should have learned at school.

    That’s when Start up Sherpa was born.  They also help young people achieve a basic income so they can focus on what they really care about, and to help rapid change and growth in a sustainable way both for the students and for the world.

    We talk about and what you will learn:

    ➤Hugo’s entrepreneurial journey

  • Today, I have the pleasure and honour to share a space with Justin and Alexis Black,  Authors of  ‘Redefining normal:  How two foster children beat the odds and discovered healing, happiness, and love’.

    Alexis and Justin both grew up in the foster care system.  They met at college on a scholarship program for foster youth  At first, their past traumas and their age difference conspired to complicate their attraction. But the joy each took in the other eventually conquered those obstacles.  They managed to defy the odds, get healthy, and build a new life together.

    Guided by hope and a sense of purpose, as well as a desire to help others who have similarly suffered, they learned to reject the abusive patterns of their past, thereby breaking the cycle of generational violence and neglect.

    Since writing their book,  their world has opened up, and are now embracing their entrepreneurial journey, supporting other people in breaking generational patterns and creating a life they would love to live.

    We talk about and what you will learn:

    ➤Growing up as a foster child

    ➤Redefining or retuning yourself

    ➤Overcoming Trauma
