Like many of us, Melissa spent her 20s on the firm and familiar corporate track. She had a great job at a big company but she couldn't shake the feeling that her calling lay outside the confines of the office walls. At 29, she took a sabbatical and embarked upon the journey of yoga training that led to her living her dream life.
My conversation with Melissa was such an uplifting experience. Melissa's astute and instructive viewpoints on perception, trusting yourself and overcoming the fear of uncertainty really encouraged me to think about how I am much more capable of achieving my goals than I may think. I hope you come away from this episode feeling both inspired and prepared to take that first leap towards your dreams.

Relocating at 29
Rachael has spent the past nine years living abroad and, in that time, she grew to find a community and a career that has shaped who she is today. As she approaches thirty, she is now on the verge of moving back to the UK and is preparing for a whole new set of challenges that come with this new leap.
My conversation with Rachael is going to stay with me for a very long time. Rachael's wise and composed perspective on friendship, trust and self-belief lifted my spirit and gave me the extra does of motivation I needed to go after my dreams. I hope it does the same for you!

Discovering your own path at 30
Poppy Dontree's early 30s were not what she expected them to be. The path she had laid out for her professional and personal life involved a lot more disappointment than she was prepared for. I think a lot of us can relate to this and that's why Poppy's journey of reinventing her expectations and her mindset is so inspiring. Poppy refused to let age and other people's opinions stop her from going against the grain in order to achieve her own goals in her own way.
Poppy was an incredibly intelligent and gracious guest who helped me think about aging and expectations in a new way. I hope this episode encourages you to think about the areas in your life that could benefit from some reinvention too!

Becoming a Playwright at 45
Siân Rowland had established a successful career in education before council cuts led her to explore different avenues. Siân began writing as a form of therapy and it led her to discovering her love for the many ways words could be used to tell a story. From plays to poems and novels - Siân has demonstrated how rewarding it can be to lean into your passion at any point in life.
Siân was an amazing guest. Her story of finding community and her voice through writing was so heart-warming. I hope this episode fills you with the courage you need to go after your dreams!

Becoming a Composer at 28
As Julian Wharton climbed through the ranks of his corporate job, he couldn’t shake the feeling that his future lay in more creative pursuits. He invested emotionally and financially in his goals for years before finally making the leap to working in the music world full time.
Julian was an incredibly knowledgable guest. His relatable story combined with his practical gems of advice meant that this episode was so valuable to me and I hope it will be for everyone listening too.

Becoming a Camera Assistant at 30
Izabella Malewska began to question her dreams of becoming an actress as she got older. The challenges that came with pursuing that career led Izabella to explore other avenues and, within a few years, Izabella worked hard to become a highly-skilled camera assistant.
Izabella was a dream guest. She shared so many astute observations about what it’s like to be a young woman trying to navigate career goals and expectations. I hope this episode is as encouraging and affirming for you as it was for me.

Becoming a YouTuber at 48
Trevor Joseph only started his YouTube channel a few months ago. His channel, “Rolling Slow Media” was born from his passion for cars and his goal of developing his camera skills. In that short time, he has created videos that have not only racked up thousands of views across several platforms, they have also led to Trevor becoming a recognisable figure in the car-loving community.
Trevor was a wonderful guest who was generous with his time and his insights. I hope that this episode gives you the shot of encouragement you need to take the first step in doing that one thing you’ve always wanted to do.
