Growing up I was obsessed with the Chicken Soup for the Soul books. I was so moved and inspired by the stories, they made me believe that anything was possible for anyone. On paper I didn’t look like someone who could achieve my dreams, but that’s the best bit right? In this podcast I speak to well known faces that share their real stories, the ups and downs of what it took for them to get where they are today. These stories aim to INSPIRE you. To help you see that no-one is actually that different from one another. That we all have dreams and that you too can make them come true.

Nicola Wills- Rock bottom to Reality TV

Saison 3 · Épisode 1

lundi 6 juillet 2026 • Durée 39:49

FROM ROCK BOTTOM to REALITY TV

I've had two seasons of guests sit in this chair. This time, it's just me.

No expert. No filter. No polished pitch.

Because reinvention isn't a strategy I teach, it's a life I survived.

It’s been 3 years since I’ve last shared a podcast with you and honestly, I didn’t think I would ever sit in front of a mic again, butI have found my way home. This is where I finally tell you all of it. Losing my brother Graeme. Walking away from the life I built abroad. Becoming a single mother with a completely broken heart and soul aged 40 and somehow I got back up and rebuilt my life.

This isn't a highlight reel. It's the real one.

I talk about the moment my old identity died and the terrifying, electric moment I chose to become someone new. Not "healed." Not "fixed." Reinvented. On purpose.

One brutal, beautiful choice at a time.

I tell you how that broken woman ended up on a Hulu TV show. Because that's what reinvention actually looks like, not a straight line, not an overnight glow-up. Years of quiet rebuilding that nobody saw, before the world ever did.

If you've ever had to bury a version of yourself to survive - this one's for you.

If you are ready to take ownership of your life and stop playing small then come and join me... your Queen Era is waiting.

EPISODE 25 | Hannah Home Educates | "the fastest way to make me do something, is tell me I can't do it" - The UKs leading home educator and gentle parenting advocate

lundi 27 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:09:23

A note from Inspire: TW This episode discusses eating disorders.

Today's guest is a mum of 3, freelance journalist, owner of the UK's most popular homeschooling blog, business owner and hugely influenTial TikToker who is probably best known for her channel 'Hannah Home Educates'.

Hannah started off her career working in a pupil referral unit, teaching children with severe emotional and behavioural difficulties which is where her passion for gentle parenting and homeschooling began.

But how did she build this career?

From growing up in a 'normal' family and school education, Hannah developed an eating disorder aged 11 - partly due to the pressure she felt academically, which she then suffered with for 17 years up and says that despite being a single mother to three children - it is "by far the hardest thing she has ever had to recover from"

From always knowing she wanted to be a Mum, Hannah went travelling with her 3 children aged just 6, 5 and 2 - after hearing that 'your life stops when you have kids' - as she says "the fastest way to make me do something, is tell me I can't do it".

From a dream trip to Bali - somewhere she had planned to permanently relocate - to her 5 year old daughter surviving a horrific brain injury and then an earthquake - Hannah now lives in the UK with her 3 daughters.

In 2020, along with another home educating parent, she set up Curious Little Monkeys Educational Resources, a home education and fun learning resource company and uses her platform to help and inspire other parents.

EPISODE 23 | Mart Tweedy | Life TRANSFORMED through crystals & manifestation - the ultimate 'how to'

lundi 13 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:09:21

Mart Tweedy is a wellbeing and Law of Attraction practitioner, successful business owner and no1 podcast host from Newcastle upon Tyne.

Just 18 months ago, he was working for the NHS and left to launch Canny Crystals, an online "one stop shop for everything spiritual" which has been wildly successful. Just 3 months after leaving his full time job, Mart's online shop made in one month, his previous annual salary from the NHS, and most recently, the same amount in one DAY.

Mart’s passion is teaching holistic healing by way of using meditation, crystal therapies and visualisation to awaken what lies dormant in each one of us.

His number one Podcast, 'Canny Crystals: Manifestation, Mindset and Spirituality' is listened to by thousands each week and is described as a "self-help audiobook for modern day living”.

But where did it all start?

From humble beginnings, growing up without much money, hiding his sexuality until he was 16 and being bullied at school - Mart said he had 'no vision' for his life, and started off working on the fish counter in a supermarket because going to university was something he didn't think was possible for someone with his background.
From discovering the Law of Attraction back in 2016 by reading The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, Mart knew it was something he could use to change his life and decided to test the theory - but life got in the way and 3 years later he was struggling to make ends meet and decided to start using visualisation again to try and change his life...
From suffering with his mental health following the sudden death of someone closest to him, on one of the biggest nights of his career - Mart started using crystals to help him deal with his grief through the most serendipitous of circumstances...
From quitting his job in the NHS one year after launching his business, the following month, Mart received ZERO orders - the ultimate test from the universe on what was to happen next...

Mart's story from humble beginnings where he said he had 'no vision' for his life, to running a successful online business helping thousands of people each year heal through crystals is the ultimate example of how you start out doesn't have to determine your future.

EPISODE 22 | Dani St James | Business with purpose - empowering Trans+ lives

lundi 6 novembre 2023 • Durée 01:21:26

Today's guest is a successful British business woman, model, makeup artist, media celebrity and trans activist. Founder of Zoah, a pioneering company offering lingerie and underwear for transgender women, Danielle is the epitome of using her own experience to help others.

Danielle's story is one of discovery, passion and determination in all things personal life and business, and is committed to uplifting and improving the lives of trans+ adults through her charity, Not A Phase, which she founded back in 2020.

But where did it all begin?

From growing up going to a Catholic School in the 90s, we talk all about Danielle's experiences being a 'queer kid' in a Catholic School system and her parents reactions when they were told she was 'deviating from Gods path'.

From holidaying in Ibiza aged 17, Danielle moved there the day after her 18th birthday and found a world where she felt she needed to be, somewhere with no judgement and the place she started her transition.

From dancer, to club manager to business owner - Danielle's story behind her brand Zoah is incredibly empowering and uplifting as she shares how it helps people to "spend less time thinking about their oppression and more time thinking about how they're gonna thrive"

What shines out of Danielle is her passion for education in the Trans Community and says that "it's important to come at people with compassion and not make them feel stupid. People don't learn by feeling stupid". She recognises her privilege in her experience of having an accepting family and lovely friends and starting her charity was a response to the isolating and scary reality of what Trans people are experiencing in the UK. The work they are doing is not only important but is needed more than ever before.

Her story is one of inspiration and determination and her tenacity can inspire anyone from any walk of life, as she says "All I need is to be underestimated".

EPISODE 20 | Emma Mumford | The Queen of manifestation, learning to surrender and turning pain into power

lundi 23 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:24:14

Note from Inspire: This episode discusses sexual abuse and trauma.

Todays guest is the UK's leading voice in Law of Attraction. She is an award-winning life coach, 3x bestselling author of her books Positively Wealthy and Hurt, Healing, Healed, Manifestation YouTuber, speaker and podcast host of the #1 Spirituality podcast on iTunes 'Spiritual Queen's Badass Podcast' with over 2 million downloads.

Her work helps you turn your dream life into an abundant reality using the Law of Attraction and spirituality.

But where did this profound ability to help and speak to others come from?

From growing up in a 'normal' home, as a teenager and young adult Emma experience depression and anxiety and couldn't understand why. There was nothing obvious she could pinpoint as to the explanation behind her feelings and behaviour. Until one day in therapy she uncovered trauma she had suppressed as a child revealed her childhood had not been what she perceived it to be.

From leaving school and falling into a career in banking, Emma realised that sales pressure and putting people into debt was not something she aligned with and along the way she wound up at 20 years old, moving backing her parents after a relationship breakdown where she had amassed £7,000 of her ex partners debt.

From discovering extreme couponing as a way to get herself out of debt, she was encouraged to start sharing the possibilities online by her friends - which started a journey for her in the online business space but whilst she was successful on the outside, earning 6 figures and presenting a segment on This Morning - her depression and anxiety was still at the forefront of her life.

From an emotionally abusive relationship ending, a simple google search for "how to turn a negative into a positive" Emma unknowingly discovered Louise Hay, the Law of Attraction and her spiritual awakening began...

Emma's story really is the epitome of taking trauma and the hardest things we can go through, to transforming them into your power.

EPISODE 19 | Nicola Elliott | How a burnt out journalist, built the UK’s no.1 wellness brand from her kitchen sink

lundi 16 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:08:57

Our guest today is the co-founder of one of the leading wellbeing brands in the UK and beyond, NEOM organics.

Having worked 60-hour weeks in her career as a journalist, Nicola Elliott came to a point where she realised the lifestyle she was living was impacting her sleep, energy and mood.

Recognising that something needed to change, she decided to take control of her wellbeing.

So how did this lead to the birth of NEOM? What were the lightbulb moments which led her to huge success in the wellbeing industry and where she is today?

From growing up as a ‘naughty’ child, pushing the boundaries and questioning everything, Nicola recognises how these traits can be used for good and believes in going for the things you are good at rather than working double as hard on things you aren’t good at.

From suffering anxiety at age 35 and going to therapy, Nicola realised that when it came to wellbeing, lots of people didn’t know where to start, which led to her wanting to create a brand which focused on the 4 pillars of health that she noticed many of her peers suffering with.

From a realisation that both herself and those around her were suffering from some kind of stress, lack of sleep, poor energy or mood imbalance, Nicola teamed up with friend Oliver Mennell to launch NEOM in 2005.

Nicola’s story and advice is subtle yet powerful, and believes that confidence isn’t about not questioning yourself, getting things wrong or not seeing your flaws, and believes “it would be crazy to think you would be perfect at anything” so knowing that you don’t have to be perfect gives you the confidence to take action.

Listen to this episode if:

You want to build confidence
You want to focus on your own wellbeing
You love the idea of building a brand but don’t know where to start
You have a side hustle and want to know the behind the scenes of what creates a successful business

EPISODE 18 | Javeno Mclean | The power of PERSPECTIVE "a bad day for us is paradise for someone else"

lundi 9 octobre 2023 • Durée 01:04:55

Today’s guest really is one in a million.

“I discovered Javeno one night whilst I was scrolling on Instagram, and instantly connected with the work he was doing because of my brother Graeme. Having grown up with a severely disabled brother, I know the importance and how special the work is that Javeno does day in day out. I probably watched nearly all of the videos he’d posted on Instagram and just knew I had to get him on Inspire. I may have discovered him slightly too late but I know my brother would have absolutely LOVED Javeno and everything he does, and know that everyone he works with will be forever impacted by his energy and influence”

Javeno Mclean started off his career as a professional cricket player, before finding his true calling on a trip to India where he stood in for the coach and realised his true passion was in giving to others.

To say this is something he has since done in abundance would be an understatement. Javeno went on to retrain as a Personal trainer, and has become a community champion and owner of the award winning J7 Health Centre in Manchester.

His story and journey is the epitome of dedication and passion, and he is best known for his inspirational, life changing personal training with the disabled, sick and elderly in his community.

From a dream written down on a piece of paper in his Mum's kitchen, to J7 health facility being born - a one floor gym where anyone could come and train and feel welcome. Javeno believes "exercise is for all" and J7's mission is clear "Every single person has the ability and potential to exercise to a somewhat challenging and enjoyable level in relation to their skill capabilities, fitness and physical attributes."

From his first exercise class where just one person showed up - a lady called Brenda - Javneo carried on showing up for 5 months with just Brenda attending, to having classes that are now attended by 140 people a week.

From building his social media to over 1.5 million followers across all platforms, Javeno's message is spreading far and wide across the globe. His unique gift is seeing the beauty in people "even if they don't see it themselves" and is on a mission to change the way we see ourselves and others.
