Born Dead, Choose to Burn Bright: A Paralympic World Record Holder on Passion, Pain and Purpose | Mikael Avatar
In this episode of Journey to Purpose, Pippa is joined by Mikael Avatar — Paralympic long jump world record holder, life coach with over 20,000 hours, cerebral palsy researcher, painter, poet, film-maker, and founder of the Avatar Resurrection app. Mikael was born clinically dead for up to 45 minutes. He grew up in Sweden in a household so full of people from across the world that nobody had time to teach him how to have cerebral palsy — so he didn't. He broke his first world record in Nottingham in 1991, his second in front of 98,000 people in Atlanta in 1996. Then he felt completely empty. What came next — painting a hundred canvases, moving to Thailand to escape chronic pain, building a coaching method from 40 years of handwritten notes, and launching a free app designed to rebuild joy 30 seconds at a time — is the real story. Pippa and Mikael explore:<ul><li>Being left with the dead children at the hospital — and the nurse who noticed he was breathing</li><li>Why growing up without anyone treating him as disabled was the greatest gift he never asked for</li><li>Breaking a Paralympic world record in front of 98,000 people and feeling nothing but empty</li><li>The difference between motivation and passion — and why finding the right angle changes everything</li><li>Why 5,000 hours of anything gives you a skill that can make you money, and what happens at 15,000</li><li>Painting 100 canvases as a framework for testing whether you actually love something</li><li>Moving from Sweden to Thailand three months after discovering the humidity cured his chronic pain</li><li>The Avatar Resurrection app: 180 days of golden pauses, starting with 30 seconds</li></ul>A conversation about what it actually means to be alive — from someone who spent 45 minutes deciding whether to bother.

From JP Morgan to French Fluency Coach: Leaving Corporate to Define Success on Your Own Terms | Rachel Pierre
In this episode of Journey to Purpose, Pippa is joined by Rachel Pierre — Haitian-born engineer, former JP Morgan Chase and Apple programme leader, executive French conversationalist coach, and author. Rachel grew up speaking only French, learned English in a year through baptism by fire, spent two decades climbing the corporate ladder in New York, and then walked away from it all after a chance conversation with a billionaire on a Parisian patio led to a 90-day French immersion experiment that actually worked. Her coaching company, Parlay, launched in January 2025. Her book challenges the idea that a woman's success is measured by her marital status and her willingness to use her uterus. This is a frank, funny, and genuinely moving conversation about language, identity, courage, and what it really means to define success for yourself. Pippa and Rachel explore:<ul><li>How Rachel's father force-switched the TV to English the year before she emigrated — and why it worked</li><li>The psychology of language fear: why high-achievers who command boardrooms fall apart trying to say bonjour</li><li>Why walking into a French restaurant without saying bonjour is essentially declaring war</li><li>The Air Canada CEO who resigned after saying two words of French in a seven-minute speech</li><li>What 20 years in corporate America taught Rachel about what she didn't want</li><li>The $30,000 in bad coaching investments — and what eventually worked</li><li>Her mother telling her she wasn't successful because she had no husband or children — and the book that came from that moment</li><li>Why 71% of professionals are always looking for a career change, and what to do if you're one of them</li></ul>A conversation about the courage to leave, the cost of staying, and what success actually looks like when you stop letting other people define it.

Writing, Wealth and the 1% Rule: How Small Shifts Create a Life You Actually Want | Natalie Saar
In this episode of Journey to Purpose, Pippa is joined by Natalie Saar — writer, self-published author, embroidery pattern designer, and founder of the Embroider Everywhere Etsy shop and a snail mail art club. Natalie has spent a decade writing professionally across equities, finance, and consulting, all while building a quietly remarkable creative life on the side. Her first nonfiction book, Becoming 1% Better, started as a Substack and became a Chanticleer Mind and Spirit Award shortlistee. Her new book, Fake It Till You Make It: The Science of Feeling Rich, is out now. This is a warm, wide-ranging conversation about creativity, rest, perfectionism, and what it actually means to build a life that feels abundant — whatever your bank balance says. Pippa and Natalie explore:<ul><li>How the 1% better framework was born out of a breakdown, not a breakthrough</li><li>Why rest is not a reward for productivity — and what happens when you treat it like one</li><li>The Super Bloom essay: what dormant seeds and desert wildflowers have to do with resilience</li><li>Redefining wealth as freedom of time, not money in the bank</li><li>Perfectionism, shame, and the grief of not being able to do everything at once</li><li>Why the Internet is littered with unfinished projects — and how to make peace with that</li><li>Kobe Bryant's thousand shots a day and what it taught Natalie about handling failure</li><li>Embroidery, snail mail, and why analogue things matter more than ever</li></ul>A genuinely joyful conversation about creativity, enough-ness, and the quiet power of doing one small thing better today.
