The combination of people and planet consistently shows us that it's a recipe for success in all its ways. They do and can work alongside each other. Looking after both simultaneously is the key!

Kate Williams is the CEO of 1% for the planet - what an incredible concept that such a simple, seemingly small contribution can have an incredibly powerful outcome perhaps because it is manageable, doable, and consistent!

Kate shares such poignant personal moments that have fed in to her work including witnessing the total eclipse!

The lessons in 'always learning' is so humbling and I believe important for us to all hear!

Listen in to the grounded voice of Natalie Campbell, she prioritises the most important things in life personally and professionally. Here is your chance to hear directly from a candidate who is running for Mayor Of London. Finally, an entrepreneur is showing how adaptable the skills it takes to run a business that's a force for good can also help you to be relatable and the right fit to help support your hopes for the city you live in.

58% of Londoners did not vote in the last mayoral election so, now you have someone that just might get you paying attention to politics again in a hopeful, inspiring, and REAL way. You can be part of that change by voting for Natalie!

Behind the politics are people, humans who care but how often are you seeing it. Is it okay for the Mayor Of London to love dancing with friends as well as show up for Londoners in such a role? Absolutely it is, so get to know the true person behind your vote!

There's also an incredible insight into the mind and heart of an entrepreneur and how you could make decisions that always feel aligned and following your BLISS!

This chat is with Mum - Natasha Louise Middleton, who has two neurodiverse children and here we gain a deeper understanding as to why it may be particularly important to focus on the Mums and their parenting journey.

Natasha says that with all the planning and reading of what it's like to be a parent with a neurodiverse child you may as well throw out the rule book as this will require you to adapt.

Natasha has written two e-books offering 'doable' self-care!

She connects the 'woo' with the 'science' and shows that if we explore our spirituality rather than parking it away somewhere we may just uncover a sense of ease within ourselves and our children.

Another tip is the art of laughter in a present moment to shift away from a negative narrative! Plus, she shares the 'ripple effect' between Mother and child in every direction.

Book recommendation:

Scattered Minds by Dr Gabor Maté (Natasha and I had many similarities, and we were even reading this book at the same time!)

Reframing is a skill Natasha has practiced through powerful words such as; "Everything is working out in my favour. Everything is working for me." helps her to anchor herself.

I loved Natasha's response to my final question Q: "how will someone know they are ready to wotrk with you?"

We begin with interpretation and both a powerful and recent story that acts as a clear example that will have you left with a deeper understanding of narcissism.

Paula studied here https://barbarabrennan.com/ while some choose to do the training as self-development, Paula chose to become a healer and help others.

The enlightening parts are many in this conversation on where wisdom can come from in your body, how to spot narcissistic behaviour and why it causes confusion plus, beautiful wise ways to reconnect with the world and yourself.

Books

Dr Magdalena Baciu invites us to connect with who we are with kindness, with love, and with respect to be ourselves and aware of our gifts "You cannot force a rose to open when you want it to" says Magdalena. Showing that going slower is the way, though is it our perception that it's slow?

Magdalena discusses the space between birth and passing away, and to find grace in challenging moments.

We dabble a little in two topics that I've expanded upon with other women which you may wish to tune into. The titles for those are 'Is it important to gather wisdom?' and 'can we switch careers?' plus, my own reflections with 'Must we always have a job title?'

Magdalena has faced an incredible amount of challenges, facing them with grace and by observing them through the lens of her scientific thinking stating that 'we can only heal ourselves!' We discuss her journey with Lymes Disease, OCD, Anxiety, Bullying to name a few.

Magdalena coaches people to marry up alchemy and vision, with creation from the linear of survival and materialistic approaches to explore a new map that actually connects it all up!

CEO's are Magdalena's favourite clients as they go on to influence so many others! Their speeches need a 'lift of the heart' she expresses.

Magdalena sees 3 obstacles we journey through those that come from within, those that come from outside ourselves, and finally those that are out of our control, listen and explore with us!

Her favourite books are filled with poetry as she sees a new point of view through verse, and like me has 4 or 5 books on the go at a time!

A generous gift from Magdalena is that all WWSBF podcast listeners are welcomed for a clarity call with her, something I myself have experienced, creating strong turning points. Email the request to drmagdalenabaciu@gmail.com

Connect with Magdalena via instagram @magdalenabaciu where you will also have access to her Link Tree with posts and meditations linktr.ee/magdalenabaciu

If you need a firecracker of a conversation to spark something within you to be free in the world then this may just be the kickstarter conversation you need to hear!

Let's start with the word 'freedom' what does it mean to you? For Jackie she had transitioned from 'doer' to 'being'. Her first birth led to an awakening, along with being told that she couldn't go home despite working long hours and was simply exhausted! I loved how grounded Jackie's expression of this word was.

We move to manifestation which moves on to be described as visualisation, to creative, reflective, conscious, and subconscious writing to knowing!

Jackie dances between Yogic philosophy blended with Western understandings which is a beautiful way to bring explanations alive.

Crippling Insomnia was the turning point from a career in TV to Yoga, where she navigated her Yoga career alongside her children's development starting with Baby Yoga, Teen Yoga, Neurodiverse Yoga, Zen Mumma,.

Jackie shares the journey to become a CIC, the newer and sustainable version of a not-for-profit organisation to bring Yoga to communities in an affordable way as we need to step away from this current 'age of anxiety'.

'We need to move' is a call to action Jackie urges us all to tune into, bringing to life that sixth sense of Proprioception. There's another call for education to change 'it is no longer fit for purpose' we are trying to force all children to follow the same route, it's not working!

There's some open dialogue between Jackie and I around the topic of neurodivergence, and not being heard.

'Turn my face to the sunshine' are the words that anchor Jackie.

Books: Jackie studies Yoga so reads many texts for this but a favourite read is The Doors Of Perception by Aldous Huxley - a series of essays. A Stroke Of Insight by Jill Bolte-Taylor and The Life Of Pi are other recommendations.

Two of Jackie's focuses are on maternity services and wellbeing in schools - join her on the mission!
