| Breaking Free From the Life You Were Taught to Live | 11 May 2026 | 01:10:09 | |
A conversation with Manal Waugh on identity, freedom and the courage to change There comes a moment where the life that once protected you starts to feel too small. This week on Beyond Turning Points, Ash sits down with Manal Waugh, author of Lucid Dreams: Waking Up to What You Truly Are, former teacher, creative director and founder of an internationally recognised bridal label featured in Vogue. What makes Manal’s story interesting is not just the range of worlds she’s moved through, but her understanding of what it takes to outgrow identities that once felt safe. She grew up in a community where expectations around behaviour, belonging and who you could be were deeply ingrained into the culture. Later, even through successful careers and creative pursuits, she kept encountering the same deeper feeling: “There has to be more to life than this.” In this conversation, Ash and Manal explore what happens when the version of you that once helped you belong, succeed or stay safe begins to feel exhausting to maintain. Together, they speak about:
At one point in the episode, Manal says: “Freedom feels terrifying because it asks you to let go of the version of yourself that once kept you safe.” This conversation is thoughtful, honest, funny in parts and deeply human. It’s for anyone who has ever felt the tension between the life they’ve built and the life quietly trying to emerge underneath it.

Becoming Who You Truly Are - Nicky Convine Music, spiritual awakening and the journey of rediscovering who you truly are What happens when the life you built stops working? In this conversation with singer songwriter and sound healer Nicky Convine, we explore what it looks like when identity collapses, life shifts direction and music becomes the pathway back to yourself. In this conversation you’ll discover
Sometimes life reaches a point where the structures we’ve built no longer feel true. The roles, expectations and identities that once gave us direction begin to feel empty or exhausting. For some people that moment becomes a crisis. For others it becomes the beginning of awakening. Nicky shares the journey that led her from seeking validation externally to rediscovering herself through music, voice and inner guidance. I invited Nicky onto the podcast not only because of her extraordinary voice and creative gifts, but because I’ve had the privilege of witnessing parts of her journey firsthand. Over the years we’ve written songs together, performed together and shared many adventures as friends. I’ve seen how her relationship with music has evolved into something much deeper than performance. For Nicky, music became the pathway back to herself. In this episode we explore
“What happens when you take everything away… what is left?” “The voice is your own inbuilt tuning fork.” “You don’t need to compare yourself to anyone.” Explore Nicky Convine’s Music & WorkWebsite “I Was Lost” – Brothers Calling ft.
