About this listen

In this episode of Shame-less Stories, I am joined by the compassionate, wise, and quietly rebellious Kerry Tottingham, co-founder of A Brilliant Thing CIC, author of Healing-Centred Transformation, and co-creator of the Brilliant Box coaching cards.Together, we explore what it means to build a values-led business in a system that often rewards burnout, compliance, and shame. Kerry shares her powerful framework for healing-centred design, blending trauma-informed practice, creative coaching, and systems thinking, to help individuals and organisations design work that truly works for them.You will hear all about:
  • How Kerry turned her lived experience of caregiving, chronic illness, and community work into a transformational framework
  • Why "selling" can feel icky and how to shift toward inviting, not pitching
  • The difference between trauma-informed and healing-centred approaches
  • How entrepreneurs and changemakers can build businesses with wellbeing at the core
  • Practical rituals and rhythms that ground you in chaotic times
  • Why Kerry and her team delete all their emails every August (!), and what happened when others followed suit
  • Building a future with collective care, rebellion, and brilliance at the centre
