When a fight broke out in a Birmingham school between two male pupils, their shocked teacher, Marian stepped in to try to break them up. In a rage, one of the boys turned on her, inflicting a vicious physical assault on her. This does not appear to be a rare occurrence in schools sadly as Marian tells me that, over the last 12 months, 8% of teachers in the UK are reported to have been physically assaulted by pupils. Marian joins me to talk about the incident, the aftermath and her recovery.
Marian can be contacted by email at: [email protected]

## My apologies that the sound quality this week is not my best. There are a few little echoes which I feel do not effect Neeki's story.##
Neeki Singh was enjoying her well paid corporate career in India and thought working hard was how life was supposed to be. When she went to work in The Netherlands for a period, Neeki encountered a completely different way of life where workers enjoyed a work/life balance that didn't involve working 10 to 12 hours every day. On her return to India, Neeki quit her job and set out to improve the health and well being of office workers throughout her homeland. Since then Neeki has helped not only workers to get fit and reduce their stress but also works with under privileged children via her new NGO.

Ivan Nikolov was born in communist Bulgaria. From an early age his life was mapped out for him by the state and even after the fall of communism, there was little hope of ever breaking free. But after watching a documentary about New York on TV when he was a boy, Ivan had a dream of going to America. At the age of 28 years, he finally left the country of his birth.
Ivan is here to tell his story and also to tell us about his exciting mission to gift 1000 coaching sessions to individuals who feel they too were born for more than the cards life dealt them.

Karen Savage, founder of Be Epic Mind and Fitness, is a sport and exercise scientist with over 30 years experience in the mind and fitness industry. With her background and firm grounding in a number of therapies, you would not expect her to fall for a narcissist and get herself tangled up in what turned out to be a very toxic relationship. Karen talks to me this week about the relationship that left her with severe panic attacks and PTSD and how she has built her life back up and found her passion for paddle boarding.

You suddenly fall over and you don't know why. Your work colleagues notice something is wrong with the way you walk. You get on and off tingling in your hands and feet. You go to the doctor and the doctor doesn't know what's wrong with you, only that things are getting worse. Scary right? This is exactly what happened to this weeks guest, James. Eventually, James was diagnosed with a rare illness known as POEMS, which is an acronym for all the areas of the body the illness can effect. James is here to tell his story of the diagnosis, treatment, the toll all of this took on his family and how they dealt with it.
James is taking a break from social media to focus on his recovery. Please therefore direct any messages or questions to me and I will pass them on.

When Mel found out she was pregnant, she was surprised but made the decision that she would have her baby and be a lone parent. Mel was, as you would expect, excited at the prospect, despite it not being the easiest of pregnancies. Unfortunately, Mel's waters broke early and baby Logan was born prematurely. That's where the real problems began as Logan was diagnosed with a rare condition called cri du chat syndrome' or 5p minus syndrome. Mel joins me this week to tell the story of her pregnancy and Logans condition.

Sometimes, no matter how confident we think we are, we get manipulated. We get caught in a trap and before we know it, we forget to follow our intuition, those 'gut instincts' that always turn out to be right.
My guest today is a beautiful, lovely soul and professional lady. She has asked not to be named and therefore I am not including any contact details for her. If anyone has any questions or comments, I am happy to pass them on.
