| 10 Jun 2020 | Three Sixty Conversations with Nicky Clinch on answering the call of life. | 01:06:19 | |
Welcome to episode 91. I am joined by Nicky Clinch, Maturation Coach & Facilitator, Spiritual Mentor, CEO & Entrepreneur. Her mission in life is to help people break free of the confines of their past traumas, self-defeating patterns and suffering so that they can realise, and come home to, who they truly are.
Nicky shares how maturation supports us to be present with and heal trauma so that the wounded stop inflicting wounds on the wounded.
We speak candidly on how this work helps people dismantle racism, become actively anti-racist and close the gap on separation.
There are many mic drop moments in this conversation about the messiness that is coming home to alignment.

| 07 Dec 2021 | The safety of connection | 00:27:57 | |
Another day another podcast!
Today I am talking about the difference between the protective pattern of attachment that enables us to survive and connection that allows us to feel safe.
At the end I asked these questions: What does safety mean to you? What does safety feel like in your body? What sensations tell you you’re safe, where do you feel them? Who are you with when you feel these sensations of safety? Where are you when you feel them? What are you doing?
I mention Sadie Tichelaar, Gabriella Espinonsa the Non-Linear Movement Method, Billy Ocean.
I also mention my Sovereign group coaching experience which is open for enrolment until Friday 17th December 2021. Details here. | |||

| 03 Oct 2022 | Introduction to the work less, live more podcast | 00:11:17 | |
I am evolving and so is my podcast!
Welcome to the newly rebranded, Work less. Live more podcast.
In this intro podcast episode I'm sharing the shift in focus of my podcast and my work.
Here is the quote I shared in this episode:
"Only from a capitalist viewpoint being productive is a moral virtue, if not a moral imperative. From the viewpoint of the working class, being productive simply means being exploited" - Silvia Federici | |||
| 03 Oct 2022 | People pleasing is harming your business. | 00:25:30 | |
People-pleasing is harming your business and preventing you from showing up as the leader you are. It could also be disempowering the people that want to work with you.
I am also inviting you to join my Emancipate Your Business hybrid life and business coaching programme for people who want to create work that supports them to live well. No more using your business as a self-help tool!
Enrolment is open from now until Monday 21st October 2022! Apply and book a call with me here [LINK]. There are 8 places available and 2 have already gone. | |||
| 04 Apr 2023 | Creating work that works for me too. | 00:29:28 | |
In this episode I am talking about changing my business model so that it supports me too.
A huge lesson from 2022 was about learning not to confuse my capability with my capacity. I want to be able to continue providing transformative coaching to my clients, but I also want to do so in a way that supports my own health, joy and mission to be a well rested woman.
So I am making changes in the pursuit of a work life harmony so that my work is not at the expense of me! This includes changing to an evergreen model.
I also share why I think an evergreen model supports emotional maturity and personal responsibility!
If you are thinking about changing the way you work so that you can improve your quality of life take this as a sign to do it!
I also mention my mastermind for socially conscious values driven business women. You can find details here. [LINK] | |||
| 18 Mar 2020 | Holding space for the present. | 00:25:17 | |
In this podcast episode, I talk about the importance of presence for your present. Holding space for where you are now and not limiting the space that lies within the present by spending too much time lamenting the past or chasing and placing burdensome pressure on a future we don't believe in! Learning how to be present and not fearing our feelings is essential at this time of mass panic caused by COVID-19. I also get super real with you at the end, I urge you to be curious about any feelings this evokes. Listen to my podcast with Nova Reid here.

| 18 Sep 2024 | Liberation from the Spell of Trauma with Effie Kli | 01:04:59 | |
Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Liberated Woman Podcast! Today, I’m delighted to be joined by Effie Kli, a trauma specialist whose work in somatic trauma healing has profoundly impacted many lives.
Effie’s approach centres on helping people awaken from the spell of trauma so they can live with vitality rather than simply coping with life.
In this episode, we explore how trauma manifests in our bodies, the societal conditioning that leads to emotional neglect, and the importance of learning to be present with our somatic experiences.
Effie shares valuable insights into living vibrantly, even with unresolved issues, and offers practical advice on beginning the journey towards somatic healing. We also delve into the relationship between our connections with men and money, and how these often mirror each other in surprising ways.
Key Topics Discussed:
Quotes to Remember: “Trauma decontextualised in a family looks like family traits. Trauma in a people looks like culture.” — Resmaa Menakem
“Your anxiety might be a sign that the environment you’re in is not the right one for you.” — Effie Klee
More about Effie Kli: As a child, Effie believed she had the perfect childhood until a sudden family loss at age ten turned her life upside down. To cope with the trauma, she developed coping mechanisms like hypervigilance, perfectionism, and workaholism, mistaking them for her personality. For nearly two decades, she lived in survival mode without realising it.
It wasn’t until a period of high anxiety and panic attacks, despite her seemingly perfect life, that Effie began to question her reality. Diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, she initially turned to medication, but when the anxiety returned, she sought deeper solutions. Discovering the concept of trauma, she realised her body was responding normally to past experiences.
Somatic healing transformed her life, leading her to train in somatic-based and trauma-informed modalities. Since then, Effie has helped hundreds of people through workshops, private sessions, and her 12-week signature programme, Healing Trauma Guided by the Body. Her passion lies in helping others trust their bodies, believe in their capacity to heal, and move from stuckness to vitality.

| 02 Jun 2020 | Three Sixty Conversations with Claudine Thornhill on living your optimal life | 00:56:41 | |
Welcome to episode 90! Today I am joined by award-winning Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist and Wellness Coach, Claudine Thornhill, founder of Claudine J. Thornhill Nutrition. Claudine which supports women to eat well, feel well and live fully. Claudine helps women have better periods, address womb health issues and transition through perimenopause and menopause with ease. In this episode, Claudine shares information about nutrition and the ways food can support us in highly stressful situations. The conversation evolved into a healing dialogue about the ways systematic racism impacts black people from code-switching, second-guessing and internalising micro-aggressions as a means to navigate the complexity of being a black professional. We explore the ways this method of protection could be stored in the body as fibroids and stress-related illness.

| 02 Nov 2024 | From Perfectionism to Progress: Understanding the deep roots of perfectionism and how to break free | 00:49:58 | |
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Liberated Woman podcast.
Before we get into it I cordially invite you to join me in laying the foundation for a 2025 that feels GOOD at my "Dream Big, Plan Smart: Ultimate 2025 planning workshop on 28th December 2024. Details here, be quick for the mega earlybird! Click here [LINK]
Today I'm exploring a topic that shows up for so many women, especially high-achieving, ambitious women who feel the pull toward growth and transformation. Today, I am exploring the deep roots of perfectionism, what drives it, why it’s so persistent, and how it affects us not only mentally but also physically and emotionally.
Perfectionism is a theme that I encounter constantly in my work, whether it’s within my membership community, my group coaching programmes, or my 1-2-1 client sessions. For many of us, the need to get things ‘just right’ can be a significant block, preventing us from reaching our true potential. Perfectionism holds us back, not just in the pursuit of our goals but in our ability to live authentically and experience real freedom.
In this episode, we’ll look at perfectionism not as a simple personality trait but as a coping mechanism, something deeply embedded in our psychology, our somatic experience, and even our neurobiology. I’ll share insights from my background in social work, my training in somatic coaching, and my passion for Polyvagal Theory to help illuminate the patterns behind perfectionism. We’ll also consider how societal conditioning, systemic pressures, and our own survival instincts make us feel that if we’re not perfect, we’re not enough.
As an intersectional feminist and advocate for women’s empowerment, I’m passionate about helping us break free from these patterns and reclaim our power.
Key discussion points:
What perfectionism really is: Perfectionism is often viewed as a personality trait, but it goes much deeper. At its core, it’s a coping mechanism that protects us from feeling vulnerable or judged. It can even become a state of survival, where the nervous system adapts to high alert as a new “normal.” As I discuss, this survival mode can morph into a permanent state, affecting how we experience the world and navigate challenges.
The neurobiology and somatic impact of perfectionism: Using insights from Polyvagal Theory, I explain how our nervous system influences our thoughts, emotions, and actions. Chronic perfectionism often means we are stuck in a cycle of fight, flight, or freeze, which can drain our energy and lead to exhaustion. When we’re in this state, our brains interpret even minor mistakes as threats to our safety, making the pursuit of “perfect” feel essential for survival. I discuss research showing how chronic anxiety impacts the body, keeping us in a hyper-alert state and creating symptoms that go far beyond mental strain.
Perfectionism, shame, and self-compassion: Drawing on the work of Dr. Kristin Neff, we explore the connection between perfectionism and shame. Perfectionism often traps us in a cycle of feeling ‘not enough,’ where every mistake seems like a declaration of failure or inadequacy. Dr. Neff’s research on self-compassion offers an alternative to this harmful cycle, helping us see our worth beyond our achievements and freeing us from the armour of perfectionism.
Perfectionism as an ‘addiction’ to control: Drawing from the work of Dr. Gabor Maté, I examine how perfectionism can resemble an addiction. It serves as a way to soothe stress and discomfort, but in reality, it keeps us stuck in a state of control that is ultimately limiting. Society teaches us to avoid discomfort and to ‘think positive,’ which can prevent us from developing the resilience to manage difficult emotions. As Dr. Maté explains, addiction is often a response to suffering, and perfectionism can function in much the same way.
Client Story: I share the journey of a client who came to me wanting to expand her business but felt paralysed by perfectionism. In our work together, she realised that perfection was an illusion and began to embrace a more authentic, bold version of herself. She went from “Sandy at the start of Grease” to her true “Rizzo” self, taking meaningful action, embracing her strengths and imperfections, and experiencing significant growth in her business and personal life.
I’m challenging you to look beyond the surface and understand perfectionism at a deeper level, to see it not as ‘just the way I am’ but as something we can understand, unlearn, and replace with patterns that serve our growth and liberation.

| 02 Mar 2022 | Acknowledging your courage. | 00:02:31 | |
I wrote some words to share with the wonderful humans in my Sovereign group coaching programme as they are doing such courageous work to create more helpful ways of being.
Then I thought about some of the issues in the world right now and how they can distance us from how courageous we are being as we journey towards healing our inner relationships. So I thought I would share these words with you too.
Thank you for the inspiration Sovereign queens. I see you and honour you. | |||
| 01 Dec 2021 | The fear of what we desire most. | 00:36:20 | |
I am back with a rebranded podcast. Today I am exploring fearing what we desire most and how this can lead to self-abandonment. "Abandoning ourselves to care for others makes us lonely and reduces our capacity to truly give and receive love. It’s a pattern that’s incredibly hard to identify because it is a sophisticated shapeshifter that can provide immediate gratification and at times makes us feel righteous". I invite you to join me in providing an olive branch to hurts we have internalised by engaging in an exercise to offer healing to a (light) wound from the past. Big up to my friends Cee and Sareta who inspired me to stop waiting to restart my podcast when I listened to their new podcast, "Women Who Rebrand" I mentioned Peter Levine, listen to him talk about trauma here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1RnTipiU_Q Connect with me on Social media here. My life-changing group coaching programme Sovereign is open for enrolment until 10/12/21. Find out more here. | |||
| 30 Jun 2023 | A prayer for entrepreneurs in turbulent times | 00:10:40 | |
At quite a few entrepreneurs are nervous about the current economic climate and the impact it's having, even the big shiny ones.
I have seen social media posts from people talking about the possibility of seeking employment, taking on part time work and feeling too exhausted to continue.
These are tricky times, it would be remiss to say otherwise.
I'm not here with advice or solutions, instead I offer a short prayer for entrepreneurs facing turbulent times.
With care and hope, Tamu | |||
| 26 Mar 2022 | Heart talk with Sas Petherick on being present. | 01:05:48 | |
Welcome to the first Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk where I have the opportunity to have a heartfelt conversation with a wonderful guest.
Conversations From The Heart: Heart Talk, begins with a body scan (you can join in too if it is safe for you to do so). The conversation is guided by whatever comes up in the moment for my guest. There are no interview questions, no set script and hardly any editing. Pauses and process time - the things that make us human are deliberately left untouched.
In a fast-paced world of expeditious efficiency and trying to do things in the shortest time possible I offer an oasis.
An oasis where there is no race to hot takes or intensity. Our conversations take the time they take and my guests and I have space to be our perfectly imperfect human selves.
Today I am joined by my friend and resplendent human being, Sas Petherick for my first heart-led conversation.
In this conversation, Sas and I talk about sisterhood, discernment and the precious care friendship and being a friend requires.
We talk about the elusive nature of being present and how easily we take it for granted even though it's all we have. Sas' connection to her heart via our body scan made the preciousness of now even more apparent as she had a serious heart condition that could have had a fatal impact. Sas' tender heart reminds her of the importance of being here now and returning whenever she ventures into the past or future for too long.
We talk about the enforced stillness of the pandemic and lessons thrust upon us by having to sit in our aloneness and begin to claim who we are. Sas shares why she is excited about this possibility.
We also get geeky and talk about academic stuff we love!
This is a really gentle conversation, I hope it offers you some comfort.
A bit about Sas: Sas Petherick is obsessed with helping you heal your self-doubt. Sas is a Master Coach and Founder of Self-belief School and the Self-belief Coaching Academy where she teaches evidence-based approaches and proven coaching tools. Sas hosts the Courage and Spice podcast for humans with Self-doubt. You’ll find Sas on The Gram: @saspetherick.
Also, I am excited to share that my new hybrid life and business coaching programme Emancipate your business is open for enrollment now.
Your business has its own life force energy that needs to be emancipated from your unmet needs so that it has enough space to serve YOU as well as your gorgeous community. I want to help you create a life and business that puts you and your needs at the centre. No more hiding unmet needs in business strategy that makes anxiety an unconscious (toxic) productivity tool.
Your success does not need to deplete you. Book a no-pressure, complimentary call here [LINK] to see if this programme will be of service to you. | |||

| 12 Sep 2022 | Childhood adaptations. Adult limitations. | 00:41:47 | |
In this episode I share how childhood adaptations become maladaptive in adulthood. The way we learn to cope with caregivers that aren't meeting our need to be whole can look like what we call self sabotage and limiting beliefs in adulthood. However they are maladaptive coping strategies and protection mechanisms.
These patterns of behaviour can make out attempts to grow and develop our businesses feel like a threat and trigger our learnt survival responses.
Ultimately these things limit our ability to develop self-belief - our beliefs shape our reality.
On Friday 23rd September I will be teaching a masterclass about the skill of self belief and practical ways to create new beliefs at my Embody Your Future NOW mini virtual retreat - plus a whole lot more.

| 22 Nov 2022 | Healing for growth vs healing as resistance with Ruthie Zerai Semere | 01:05:17 | |
Hello you, welcome to the first interview in my recently rebranded podcast!
Today I am joined by the wonderful life and business coach Ruthie Zerai Semere.
In this conversation, Ruthie and I talk about the difference between healing for growth and healing as a ruse for resistance. This conversation was inspired by a conversation Ruthie and I had about the ways we have seen the people we work with unconsciously avoid taking action because they get stuck in their healing process.
We explored the reasons why this may occur and how protective patterns from childhood impact our growth or avoidance.
We also touch on our experience as daughters of immigrants and how our blackness affects our approach to healing and growth work. Of course we talk about the ways in which our toxic productivity and people pleasing served us and why it had to be released in order for us to embody our healthiest adult selves.
It's a really gorgeous conversation. I am delighted to share it with you.

EbonyJanice’s work has supported me in so many ways from her writing to her patreon and the content she shares on social media. EbonyJanice is a brilliant thinker, writer, creative, and advocate for Black women’s sovereignty. In this episode, we explore the profound power of reclaiming our full selves, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the transformative nature of imagination. Throughout our conversation, EbonyJanice shares her journey of self-sovereignty, emphasising the importance of rejecting societal expectations, particularly those imposed on Black women. We explore the concept of “mamification” and how it often limits Black women’s identities, and discuss how reconnecting with ancestral wisdom can guide us towards true liberation. EbonyJanice also highlights the critical role of imagination in personal and collective freedom, urging us to “dream ourselves free.” Key Takeaways:
Actionable Steps: 60-Second Stillness: Start with 60 seconds of stillness each day to connect with yourself. Gradually increase this time as you become more comfortable with the practice. Integrity Work: Commit to being the authentic version of yourself, which is a powerful tool for personal and collective liberation. Nurture Your Imagination: Dedicate time to daydream and explore your imagination. This can be a powerful source of creativity and solutions in your life.

| 30 Jul 2024 | The Liberating Power of Gentle Activism with Sarah P. Corbett | 01:09:05 | |
Welcome back to another episode of The Liberated Woman Podcast with my very lovely guest, Sarah P. Corbett.
Not just any old Sarah Corbett, but Sarah P. Corbett. She is an award-winning activist, author, and ex-Ashoka Fellow, born into an activist family in Everton, one of the most deprived wards in the UK. Growing up in Everton, Sarah was deeply influenced by the social and economic challenges faced by her community.
This environment, marked by high unemployment, poor housing conditions, and limited access to resources, instilled in Sarah a strong sense of social justice and the importance of activism from a young age. Sarah is a professional campaigner, most recently with Oxfam, and has collaborated with illustrious names such as the Tate, the V&A Museum, and WWF.
Today, we dive into her journey and the concept of gentle activism through craftivism.

| 05 Dec 2021 | Witness the bigness | 00:12:23 | |
I have had a number of conversations with women about struggling to find a coach, mentor, therapist that can hold their 'bigness'.
These are often sensitive women, even though they may not view themselves that way. They tend to have big energy, big feelings, big emotions, big views, big wisdom, big power but don't know how to hold and channel it. This is usually because we are conditioned to play small and not be too much.
This feeds into feeling like you are simultaneously too much and not enough. As such this can create an environment where people say that they were unable to work with whichever helping professional because they couldn't handle how big they are.
However, when I think about my life experience and coaching practice what I think is happening is that people with big feelings etc are under-skilled and unable to hold their power as they, like most of us have been conditioned to play small.
As such, they unconsciously make other people responsible for their bigness. This way they can unconsciously blame others and their confirmation bias confirms that they are beyond being supported because they are indeed too much and not enough. Hyper-independence and loneliness prevails and the cycle repeats.
I can help unravel this and support you to learn how to take care of your needs so that you feel grounded and strong enough to be a conduit for your power rather than burned by it.

| 13 Oct 2019 | Black History Month Audio Community Project - Jecks Lee honours Amaza Lee Meredith | 00:20:18 | |
Jecks Lee honours Amaza Lee Meredith.
In this podcast take over interior designer with a difference, Jecks Lee honours Amaza Lee Meredith. Amaza Lee was nothing short of AMAZING. A black woman born in 1895 that taught herself architecture, had a career as an architect and then went on to teach! Talk about TAKE UP SPACE! In terms of wellness Jecks talks about what I am calling Meredith's growth mindset.
A black interior designer honouring a black female self taught architect who left a tangible legacy with her work... priceless!
About Jecks Lee:
Jecks set up Persona Abode Interiors to specialise in designing eco-conscious residential interiors, with a focus on designing for people and supporting world causes.
Her appreciation of interior design comes from the experiences of being terrified to step into her own home. Having endured occurrences of domestic violence, through the eyes of a child and also as an adult, she understands how the sanctuary of home crumbles when you no longer feel safe in the environment in which you live.
Having come from a long background in building conservation and recycling management, Jecks is not swayed by just aesthetics. Architecture and the environment are important to her creativity. She is unimpressed by the idea of consumer trends, as it doesn't sit well with carving out your true design style or design experience. Rather than being sucked into the vortex of designing client’s home for the sake of fashion, Jecks concentrates on providing a sensory experience that benefits their wellbeing, whilst also honouring the planet.
Believing that the profession of Interior Design should be held accountable for its participation of unethical practices, Jecks pursued studies in vegan design, becoming a “certified cruelty” free designer in 2017. She is one of the first UK designers to do so, and will use this knowledge to pass on to clients and fellow designers.

Suzy Ashworth honours Tessa Sanderson CBE.
In today's podcast takeover Suzy Ashworth celebrates Tessa Sanderson’s commitment to being the best and her capacity to give the best.
Suzy is a real one she doesn’t throw glitter on shit. At one point in this episode she used some strong language and it is totally it is necessary. You guys know I swear and I braced myself as I heard Suzy's words as it activated trauma from experiencing what she described. This is why this project is here. It is not to gloss over the wickedness black people have endured but I believed that at some point we need to acknowledge the shit and then alchemise it. If we stay in trauma we only have trauma. Our ancestors and elders didn’t endure for us to live in trauma.
In terms of wellness Suzy shares that she is inspired by Tessa Sanderson’s ability to allow herself to be open to learning and new, regardless of her age and experience which is a huge gift. I must take this moment to thank Suzy. Suzy, one of the most powerful gifts you have given me is the space to allow myself to park what I know to one side and be open to new and deeper learning. This is possibly one of the most expansive gifts I have received in my adult life.

Is your deep inner work a help or a hindrance?
I am fascinated by the way our unmet needs show up in how we live love and work. I am especially interested in how they impact our work as what we do to make a living has a huge impact on our lives!

| 01 Oct 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations - Black History month take over! | 00:05:43 | |
Its October!! It's Black History Month here in the UK.
Black History Month is a way of reflecting on the rich history of Black people as our contribution to the world is at best, whitewashed and at worst erased due to systemic racism.
This black history month I have decided to host an intergenerational audio community project that does more than reflect and acknowledge.
For years I have grappled with black history month as it tends to revolve around a single story of lack. It got me thinking about trauma and how people are re-traumatised, desensitised and conditioned by the repetition of a single story big up Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie!
In Chimamanda’s infamous ted talk on the danger of a single storey she refers to the unintended consequence of monolithic narratives.
“Now, I loved those American and British books I read. They stirred my imagination. They opened up new worlds for me. But the unintended consequence was that I did not know that people like me could exist in literature. So what the discovery of African writers did for me was this: It saved me from having a single story of what books are”. - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
The unintended consequence of the erasure or black people in history and the whitewashing of stories means that white and black people have been denied the opportunity to learn about the contribution of black people. Denied the opportunity to understand what has led to the current social, economic, political and cultural landscape for us all.
Black history is world history.
Furthermore the monolithic narrative has relegated the black experience to struggle alone even though this is not the case.
During a divine connection with my ancestors they gave me a message.
They endured, suffered and survived because they had to. We are being called to look to their experience for clues to build on their legacy rather than be distracted.
During a divine connection with my ancestors they gave me a message.
They endured, suffered and survived because they had to. We are being called to look to their experience for clues to build on their legacy rather than be distracted.
"The very serious function of racism … is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being. Somebody says you have no language and so you spend 20 years proving that you do. Somebody says your head isn’t shaped properly so you have scientists working on the fact that it is. Somebody says that you have no art so you dredge that up. Somebody says that you have no kingdoms and so you dredge that up. None of that is necessary.” Toni Morrison.
This Black History Month I would like to honour our female ancestors with a special audio community project. Throughout October I am dedicating my award winning podcast, Three Sixty Conversations to the Black women that stood tall creating sturdy shoulders for us to stand upon and self actualise.
Throughout October 2019 I will use my podcast to share audio recordings with formidable women of African descent honouring a black female historical figure and:
As always I referred to the dictionary to be sure that the correct word to describe what we are doing is correct.
To honour- the quality of knowing and doing what is morally right.
I believe that it is morally right for us to honour the women that have gone before. To honour the women that have provided sturdy shoulders to lift us higher by exploring how their grit can become our grace.
Enjoy. | |||
| 02 May 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations LIVE with Jessica Huie on peeling back the layers | 01:29:16 | |
On 1stMay 2019 Three Sixty turned one and I celebrated with a LIVE PODCAST episode. I answered questions posed by former podcast guests then delved deep in to conversation with Jessica Huie.
We talked about all the things, from racism in the wellness industry to self-celebration. The self-celebration turned into a bit of a self-celebration party at the end where guests joined and shared something they were celebrating (1hr 15min).
Whilst we discussed elements of Jessica’s book PURPOSE we talked about the new learning and growing that comes with personal development.
It was a glorious conversation, enjoy!
Jessica has a retreat taking place in Jamaica in January 2020 and hosts monthly PR workshops at the British Library. You can find out about those here.
You can also connect with Jessica via facebook, twitter or Instagram.

| 24 Aug 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations with Caro Gomez on allowing and creating abundance | 01:12:18 | |
Welcome to episode 39 where I am joined by Fashion and textile designer Caro Gomez, founder of the Caro Gomez brand. We had a really nourishing conversation about operating in your zone of genius, living abundantly and paying abundance forward.
Caro Gomez is a Latin American textile designer, who lives in London with her husband and two children. Originally from El Salvador, Caro has carried her roots with her throughout her fashion journey, and her work is heavily inspired by the colours, patterns and flair of the Latin American lifestyle.
After leaving her home country to pursue an education in fashion, she set off for Milan to study, but soon realised that the ‘city of fashion’ wasn't all she had dreamt of. Caro knew that air kisses and false niceties just weren’t for her - she wanted to pursue her dream, but knew that she couldn’t do it in an environment that didn’t feel authentic to her true self. She was falling out of love with fashion and knew that she had to make a big change if she wanted to succeed.
It was with this, that Caro decided to apply to study at Central St. Martins in London. 10 years, one marriage and two children later, London is where she calls home, and where she plans to launch her upcoming collection of hand painted and hand embroidered women’s clothing in spring 2019.
Caro’s upcoming collection is aimed at women who want to feel joyful, happy and powerful, because she believes that empowered women change the world. In a bid to support the Latin American community here in the UK, the collection will be manufactured with the help of Latin American women in London, who are trying to integrate successfully into British society. | |||

| 17 May 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations with Rita Robinson on investing in yourself and integrated wellness | 01:07:37 | |
Welcome to episode 31 where I am joined by Homeopath, Rita Robinson.
In this episode Rita shares how homeopathy and her super niche area of specialism found her. Rita specialises in working with people (mainly children) that have been injured by vaccination or on the Autistic spectrum. She also shares how she has built resilience and support to transcend the trolling and hate mail she receives from people that are critical of her work.
To be clear this is not a conversation about whether people should or should not be vaccinated. Our conversation is about Rita's work, how her micro-niche has grown to employ four people and allow her husband to work part time so that he can support Rita.
Rita also shares noteworthy insights on tech and fatigue. Full show notes here.

Welcome to episode 36 where I am talking to PR maven, business woman extraodinare Ronke Lawal, founder of Ariatu PR.
I thought we were going to talk about PR, my intention was to talk to Ronke about the juxtaposition of having a multi identity and professionalism in a world where White, middle class and beyond are the default for all things professional due to systematic racism, followed by a conversation on the mindset necessary to be ready of PR. However the multi identity piece was huge. We didn’t get to all the places but we got deep, soulful and honest. It was a really enriching conversation.

| 24 Aug 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations with Sami Blackford on listening to our body's yearning. | 00:59:48 | |
Welcome to episode 38 where I am joined by Sami Blackford, founder of the women's wellness brand, Freya Luna
Sami believes that small acts of mindful self-care can nurture us into a relationship of true self-love - mind, body and soul (and skin). She is an alchemist, apothecary, writer, and mentor. She created Freyaluna to harness the magical powers of Mother Nature and help women to feel confident, beautiful, and friggin’ amazing in their own bodies. After battling with acne for many years, by her mid-20s Sami decided enough was enough. Over the next few years I immersed myself in the world of natural and holistic skincare and wellness (and became certified in Aromatherapy and Herbal Medicine along the way). Her journey brought her into contact with thousands of amazing women from around the world. And she discovered that, no matter what colour our skin is, how many years we’ve lived, or which country we call home, we are all yearning for a way to love and care for our skin in a gentle and natural way. Sami created her Freyaluna natural skincare collection to encourage us to take time for ourselves and turn a regular skincare routine into a daily skin ritual of self-love. She says, "I want you to fall in love with taking care of yourself. My intention is that you enjoy your skincare ritual from the second you open each bottle or jar. These products are formulated to encompass your whole being, and your whole wellbeing. Each time you open your bottle or jar, I invite you to escape into luxury moments of sensory serenity. These are moments for you to savour." | |||

Over the past 12 years Selina has been honoured to coach the brightest minds and talent from Google, Apple, UN Women and MySpace (yep, I’ve been at it that long), A-list musicians and leaders in the creative and music industries, helping them to create lives, careers and businesses that they can thrive in. She has guided more than 3,000 people all over the world through the online courses that she has created for her own brands or co-designed with brilliant best-selling authors. The signature online course she designed for Project Love has been featured in Psychologies, Glamour and Grazia. Selina has also been included in six best-selling books on career change and how to start a business on a shoestring. Selina has built two businesses (Careershifters.org and Project Love) which are thriving today, featured in six best-selling books on career design and for three years ran my business from a bag while she travelled the UK in my camper van for 6 months, road tripped around California, sailed the fjords of Chile, hung out with family in the streets of Buenos Aires and painted in the mountains of Canada. Over the past 5 years Selina's focus has also turned towards love and relationships and growing Project Love with her biz wife, Vicki Pavitt. It is fast becoming the go-to platform for people looking for heartfelt, practical guidance on love and life.

| 09 Apr 2019 | Three Sixty Conversations with Sharn Khaira on spirituality, culture and making money | 01:08:48 | |
Welcome to episode 27! Today I am joined by Sharn Khaira. Sharn begun her entrepreneur journey with her company Luxury wedding planning business, Desi Bride Dreams after leaving a career in marketing that was very depleting. In 2017 Sharn set up the AFEC (Asian Female Entrepreneurs Collective) to support Asian women achieve successful in business. Sharn is also an international speaker and all round badass!
Sharn talks about her background, growing up with parents that had little or no English and had periods of working multiple jobs to make ends meet. Sharn reflected on being a translator for her parents from a very young age and doing things like speaking to Sky TV at the age of 5 or 6 and helping her parents complete a mortgage application at 11 or 12! We talk about growing up in an area that was characterised by deprivation and seeing her parents experience financial stress. It was really interesting to hear Sharn talk about growing up seeing wealthy relatives and not being jealous or intimidated but inspired to believe that there was more for her than what she was experiencing. We also touch on Sharn paving her own path and braking away from the cultural norms of the Sikh community. Full show notes here.

| 11 Mar 2019 | Three Sixty Monologues - Meeting your basic needs | 00:28:51 | |
Welcome to my 3rd solo episode - Three Sixty Monologues.
This week I am talking about the importance of meeting your needs and how not meeting them can prevent you from doing the things you WANT to do and lead to overwhelm.
I didn't answer questions this week as I had a lot to say! In this episode I referred to Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
I mentioned Le'Nise Brothers @eatlovemove, Ash Cole @slashbeautyldn, Lucy Sheridan @Lucysheridan, Steph Douglas @steph_dontbuyherflowers you can read Steph's overwhelm blog post here and Emma Svanberg @mumologist.
I shout out @Lucysheridan. Lucy is a very good egg who generously shares knowledge and information that assists all areas of personal development with a focus on Comparison. Lucy is the worlds first and possibly only Comparison Coach. Her work has ended up on the Oprah Winfrey show where she was casually chatting to Oprah and Iyanla Vanzant about comparison. Lucy facilitated a workshop at my last day retreat called Compassion over Comparison where she guided people to think about the genesis of their comparison and how to be more compassionate with themselves. It was a really deep and meaningful workshop that got us all thinking and awakening. This is not an ad, I am mentioning this because I think Lucy is the real deal, on this Wednesday 13th March Lucy is hosting one of her Comparison Free Workshops. Its a virtual workshop so you don't have to leave your home and you are likely to gain loads. You can find out more here and connect with Lucy on instagram here.

| 26 Mar 2019 | Three Sixty Monologues - Self empathy | 00:23:22 | |
In this episode I am talking about the way self-empathy can create space for expansion and liberate us from unhelpful internal narratives.
Journal prompt:
How would you feel if you woke up tomorrow and all your dreams/ goals were realised?
Are those feelings present (to any degree) in your life currently?
I invite you to think about how more self-empathy (the ability to understand and share the feelings of another). Could assist you to expand towards realising some of your dreams/ goals?
I shout out my absolute darling, Nicola Rae Wickham founder of A Life More Inspired. Nicola is a true gem and the woman that helped me to begin to recognise my limiting beliefs and understand that we build stories around our lives that are not always true which means that we can create new helpful ones. Nicola has just launched a Creative Coaching and Mentoring Experience for purpose-driven women who have a brand to get out and into the world. If this sounds like you. Do check Dream, Do and Flourish out.
I mention Nicky Raby and our podcast chat.

We have agreed that we can no longer ignore the nudges encouraging us to make Wellness is Wellth a living breathing entity, so here we are! We started in the heart of the UK's financial district and have decided take Wellness is Wellth home bringing abundance to your door with a supperclub in the beautiful homely setting of Kindred Members club in Hammersmith, London.
