In this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with renowned dating and relationship coach and three-time author Persia Lawson. Growing up, Persia’s parents struggled with drug addiction. To escape the challenging emotions, she focused on becoming an overachiever, and as part of her subconscious coping mechanism, she found herself leaning into an addiction to sex and love. She became well-practised at sabotaging any chance of a happy relationship – either by cheating on the nice boyfriends or going out with dysfunctional ‘bad boys’. Persia’s rock bottom moment came in her mid-twenties when she became the victim of sexual assault. Following this incident, she put on two stone in weight which prompted her concerned dad to take her away to a health retreat in Thailand. Whilst there, he gave Persia some advice that changed the entire trajectory of her life. These words were the launch pad she needed to leverage all her overachiever energy towards healing the real root of all her romantic dilemmas. Today Persia will be gracious enough to share her incredible story and offer the wisdom of what she has learned.

In this episode, I’ll be chatting with the founder of MotherKind, Zoe Blaskey. Zoe’s been on a path of self-enquiry and transformation following an anxious, depressive breakdown in her early 20s. She’s spent the last 15 years diving into all things personal development, sitting in cold church halls in 12-step meetings, meditating with monks at sunrise, and dancing all dressed in white on an island in Sweden.  She has reached the depths of despair and risen stronger than ever before and is obsessed with helping mothers realise their potential and awaken to how much personal power they have. Zoe recognised the pressure she was putting on herself, her perfectionism, her fear of getting it wrong, how she was silencing herself to keep the peace, and how she was losing her sense of self to what others wanted her to do.  Zoe remembers that feeling of being lost, broken and alone and now helps other mums overcome this. She’s also the host of the massively successful ‘The Motherkind Podcast’ and today we're going deep on how to help some of society's most important people… its mothers.

In this episode, I'm chatting with health and fitness competitor and coach, Kirstie George. Kirstie has set herself the mission to educate and support busy women to feel stronger, build confidence and lead happier healthy lifestyles. She became a personal trainer in 2018 after experiencing a life-changing event and following that, her own fitness journey. She was diagnosed with PTSD after experiencing two pregnancy losses and a traumatic second birth where she nearly lost her life. Understandably, her mental health was at rock bottom and she started suffering panic attacks, anxiety and depression, this is when she started lifting weights in hope that it would help with her mindset. Now, Kirstie feels strongly about helping women to feel empowered through health and fitness as previously, she had always been obsessed with fad diets, cardio and the number on the scales. She had yoyo dieted for years and never felt truly happy in her own skin, always looking for the “secret”. During this transformational time, she’s turned her pain into power by competing in four bikini competitions in nine months, turning herself into a pro athlete in two federations. Kirstie’s the author of "Build Habits for Women" and has recently been nominated for 'Most Motivational' Athlete of the Year at Pure Elite.

Every year around this time, I feel drawn towards talking about sobriety and what's involved in being a non-drinker. In past years I have spoken with well-known specialists such as Mandy Manners, Kate Bailey and Sober Dave, all of which provide deeper insight into becoming alcohol-free. However, this year, and after many requests, I have decided to share a talk with my brother, Kris Lawrence, about our different perspectives on my sobriety. The purpose of this conversation was to offer insight, companionship, support and the challenging emotions surrounding sobriety so that anyone considering experiencing a dry January could take some motivation. On a personal level, this conversation offered me some incredible insight into some of my more significant life events. I would be lying if I didn’t confess to feeling uncomfortably vulnerable about releasing this episode as I self-disclose a lot about some very personal moments of my life. That is my hope for this episode is that my experience can offer a helpful perspective on your own experiences. So please enjoy, relax and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
