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.

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 15 | Sarah Dunning | From a career ending injury to true success "I didn't want my life to be this way forever, and I knew this was the way to change it."

lundi 19 juin 2023 • Durée 01:17:49

Today’s guest is the no.1 income earner in her UK online business, a property investor with a growing portfolio, a business investor and mum of 3.

Sarah Dunning’s story is one of total transformation. She is not the same person as she was 15 years ago. Sarah’s story will INSPIRE you and show you that with unwavering belief, hard work and commitment to personal growth anything is possible.

So what did Sarah’s transformation look like?

Sarah was a “painfully shy” child who felt “lost and invisible” at school. Believing she wasn’t smart because of how she performed on exams, she left school with no confidence or self esteem. But the shy girl found salvation through dancing as a way to express herself.
With dreams of dancing professionally but her audition self talk being “I am never going to get this’, her confidence grew when she landed her first West Endmusical contract. But one chiropractor appointment later….everything changed, her career and identity as a dancer was over.
From saying Yes to a business opportunity and feeling excited, knowing that this ‘thing’ was going to change her life, yet 12 months in not one personbelieved in her vision. No one believed in her. So she got to work...on herself.
It took 4 months of hypnotherapy to be able to speak at her first public speaking event but years later when asked to speak at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in front of 20000 people, her negative self talk was tamed, she was calm, composed and delivered trusting that, “the universe has my back”.

Sarah's story of transformation is remarkable, not only has she created a new narrative for herself and her family but she is passionate about paying her gifts forward and helping others find inner peace and outward freedom for themselves.

Listen to this episode if

You think you are too shy or too introverted to be a successful entrepreneur
You have a big dream or business idea but have no money to start
You are someone that says ‘sorry’ a lot, for no reason!

EPISODE 14 | Karl Willett | "you should walk out that house in the outfit you wish to die in"

lundi 12 juin 2023 • Durée 01:45:42

Karl Willett is a top international stylist having worked in the fashion industry for 20 years building a vibrant portfolio of celebrity clients including Amanda Holden, Kylie Minogue, Jennifer Hudson, Paloma Faith, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessie J and Beverley Knight. He is also a happily married, family man with ‘miracle’ twin boys being born by surrogacy.Karl has the family, a career that he loves, status and recognition, friends and connections, but what did it take to get to this point? From having no styling experience but securing a 2 week internship at Selfridges and then landing his first celebrity client through a freelance contact. To styling and building Paloma Faith into a brand and fashion icon, Karl’s strategy of fake it till you make it, take risks and hustle hard paid off. Behind the illusion of seamless, “fun, glitz and glamour”, is the reality of working in a competitive industry where you don’t show weaknesses and with in-demand clients, where you assist and style rather than burden. When Karl struggled mentally and felt “nothing was good enough” he knew he had to make changes. Karl envisioned being a dad before meeting his husband but that certainty became hope as they searched the globe for a surrogate. After one failed pregnancy and 19 weeks into the second, when one of the twins' sacks ruptured, hope dwindled and despair unfolded until week 35 when both baby boys were born healthy. Identifying that his upbringing gave him confidence to go after his dreams and further strengthened by the solid relationship he created with his partner, it enabled his career to flourish, it left Karl feeling that he has a lot to give “I feel my purpose here on earth is bigger than my job, my family and my loved ones”, “I almost attract people that might need a bit of support”.Listen to this episode if: You are considering surrogacy. You are interested in fashion industry/styling You have struggled mentally at work or in business. You believe being the ‘good guy/girl’ doesn’t get you far.Instagram@karl_willett@thehoppswilletthouseInspire@inspirewithnicola

EPISODE 13 | Leona Burton | Teen Mum to 6 figure CEO "I thought about giving up every month and that's what people need to understand"

lundi 5 juin 2023 • Durée 01:24:52

Today’s guest is a high-performance mentor, author and CEO of Mums in Business International. With a global membership of 350,000 she is disrupting her industry as a voice for good, championing women and mums to thrive in business. Alongside business, she is a mum of 6 and together with her husband, they travel the world whilst homeschooling their children.

But life hasn’t always looked this way, so what did it take to get to this point?

From growing up with her dad in a disciplined household and not knowing “where my mum is” the super intelligent child became a disruptive teenager as she struggled with her identity but when she had her own child she discovered ‘The power of being a mum”.

Falling pregnant at 17 after dropping out of school, she felt the need to prove herself as a response to the stigma and judgement around her but stepping way out of her comfort zone on the catwalk as a plus size model created a “fuck you” moment to any of her doubters.

From dropping out of business school because it was boring, to wanting connection rather than a sales pitch at networking events, when she started a Facebook group for mums in business and it grew to 17000 in the first few months, she knew she had identified a pain point that resonated.

Leona built a successful business with 300 networking events a month, then in just 4 weeks, her business, friendship and trust of some members imploded. She had to start again…

Leona’s story is one of total transformation with her biggest breakthrough being to, “stop giving a fuck what anyone else thinks”.

Listen to this episode if:

You are smart but feel you haven’t lived up to your potential…yet.
You are a mum that wants a bigger life than where you are now.
You have experienced stigma or judgement.
You had a child at a young age.

EPISODE 12 | DJ Fat Tony | Abuse, addiction and self-destruction to recovery and redemption

lundi 29 mai 2023 • Durée 51:33

From a council estate in Battersea to DJ’ing for A-list celebrities and royalty, today’s guest is not short of jaw dropping stories of his eclectic life. Grateful to still be alive after 28 years of addiction, DJ Fat Tony shares all in his powerful, hilarious and eye-opening Sunday Times best selling memoir, ‘I don’t take requests’. From his first steps into Heaven nightclub at 16, his whole life changed, music “has the ability to take you wherever you want it to take you,” it really is ,“the best drug in the world”.So how did Fat Tony become the iconic British DJ that we know today?

From losing his childhood innocence when a youth worker groomed and sexually abused him, “because I didn’t talk about out it, I thought I had dealt with it”, to later recognising that talking about trauma allows you to process it and “that deals with it”.
From going through life believing his dad hated him because of his experiences in childhood, it took a court case, an ankle tag and sobriety on both parts to talk, listen and find peace. The biggest realisation being, that love for him was there all along.
From being open about his sexuality from a young age and socialising in iconic circles to experiencing a “pitchfork and torch” scenario when the aids pandemic took hold, causing 85% of his peers to tragically pass and his mental health to spiral.
From chaotic, drug fuelled behaviour being glorified and allowed because “I was making people money,” but when he started looking forward to the idea of dying an unexpected tap on the shoulder and a familiar face asking “what happened to you,” was a moment that would save his life.

DJ Fat Tony’s story is one of overcoming the odds whilst still being unapologetically himself. At 57, he is forward focused and excited about all the possibilities ahead of him powerfully sharing, “there is life after addiction”.Listen to this episode if:

you have struggled with addiction or considering sobriety.
you have a difficult relationship with a parent.
your way of coping is to bury it and not speak about things.
you are a performance type artist that experiences anxiety or nerves.

EPISODE 11 | Dr Aseem Malhotra | “it’s not safe to speak the truth, but it’s even less safe not to”

lundi 22 mai 2023 • Durée 01:13:17

When public figures share an unpopular opinion, in recent years, it has become increasingly known to result in media smear campaigns and a culture of cancelling the person from the spotlight. On the other hand, what if this ‘unpopular opinion’ is in fact evidence based medical research written by Dr Aseem. A top British Cardiologist and published researcher in the British Medical Journal whose life’s work has been dedicated to giving back to society and helping people through medicine within the NHS.

From a top cardiologist with outstanding patient care to travelling the world sharing his message of “how can we make medicine great again”, how did Dr Aseem get to this point?

From investigating the issue of sugar and finding current EU guidelines to be detrimental to health, to facing major pushbacks after calling out an industry “that were profiting from lying to people”.

From publishing research on the overuse of Statins, advocating for lifestyle changes and eating real food to receiving a letter stating, “we have decided to cut your fellowship short”.

From falling victim to a slander campaign written in the Mail on Sunday when the UK health minister’s words were used out of context. Then being ‘cancelled’ from his job by text saying, “your services are no longer required”, Dr Aseem continues advocating for ethical evidence based medical practice.

From appearing on Good Morning Britain assuring viewers “traditional vaccines are the safest”, to seeing the evidence and alarming links between MRNA vaccines and heart disease, as well as first hand in his father’s passing, he now passionately advocates for laws to be changed.

With cancel culture and smear campaigns increasing in frequency and fear of backlash if you do speak out, a final note from Dr Aseem, “it’s not always safe to speak the truth but it’s even less safe to not speak the truth”.

Listen to this episode if:

you wonder why people are getting sicker despite modern medicine.

lundi 15 mai 2023 • Durée 01:15:38

From learning valuable lessons as a police officer such as, “you can’t reason with unreasonable people”, to a pivotal moment thinking, ‘that could have been me’, when two female colleagues were shot and killed in her area. From humble upbringings and naivety around money, believing £5000 a month was “mega rich”, to shifting her money mindset and earning £100,000 a month through Network Marketing. From losing her business partner, best friend and sister to cancer aged 42 she shares,“when grief hits you, it changes everything”. “Life is too short” to be waiting for the ‘right time’.Emma’s story demonstrates the possibility of the modern day, where ordinary people can create extraordinary wealth in years rather than decades.

From living the first few years with a disabled son like a prison sentence it was seeing her sister lose both her children that gave her perspective, “I am so lucky and blessed to have my son”.
From desperately hoping for those milestones to come, “he showed signs of walking at 8 before his hips started dislocating”, she became obsessed with all the therapies to make him better, affirming you have to, “Just Keep Going”.
Already supporting one child, when her youngest developed an eating disorder, she felt totally helpless, explaining, “You have to accept the only thing you CAN do is be there for them”.
From feeling alone in an uncommunicative marriage but paralysed by fear of making it on her own, she attended the Landmark forum which was a catalyst for changing her life.
