A New Culture of Leadership: Creating Safer Spaces for People to Thrive

Monday 20th October 1000-1630, Manchester City Centre

In today’s episode, I’m joined by a thoughtful and intuitive guest, Megan Holley whose work spans massage therapy, emotional healing, and heartfelt creativity. She’s a practitioner of the Emotion Belief Code, a modality that she describes as the missing piece she didn’t know she was searching for, both personally and professionally.

We dive into what the Emotion Belief Code actually is, how it’s changed her life and work, and how it’s helped her support others on their own healing journeys. We also talk about the beautiful creation of her Inspired by Me journal, born from a place of curiosity, reflection, and the desire to help others live with more awareness and intention.

Our conversation flows into themes of growing up without mobile phones, the richness of life at 50, and what it means to live your best life—especially when you’ve had the time and perspective to redefine what that really means.

In this episode, I’m joined by Nicky Yazbeck, whose story holds so many pieces of what it means to truly heal. 

We talk about listening to the body, healing from trauma, and the quiet courage it takes to leave the things we’ve outgrown, our jobs, homes, old versions of ourselves. 

We explore plant-based healing, intuitive travel, and what happens when you trust the next step, even when you can’t see the whole path. It’s honest, it’s layered, and it’s full of heart.
