    7: Dr Rob & Debra Maldonado: How To Free Your Mind And Create The Life You Want

    This week’s episode is a little different. Dr Rob and Debra Maldonado are Helen’s coaches and she credits their courses with changing her life. We talk about how by going deeper into your own mind, you can learn to let go of what’s holding you back, and become free to explore endless possibilities in life.
    We cover topics such as the work of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, eastern philosophy and neuroscience. This is one you might need to go back and listen to certain parts for it to fully sink in but we promise it’s worth it!

    6: Richie & Jan Swan: Finding The Positives No Matter What Life Throws At You
    May 16 2022
    Richie and Jan are mother and son who are both so warm and engaging and also incredibly honest about how the death of Jan’s daughter – and Richie’s sister – Anita impacted their lives and the positive changes it forced them to make.
    Both have been on amazing journeys individually; Jan has lost 10 stone in the last 10 years and when Covid hit and the country went into lockdown, Richie wasn’t sure his PT business would survive. What actually happened is that it flourished online and became something he never could have imagined.
    This episode is both raw and emotional and absolutely hilarious at the same time. Jan and Richie’s positivity is infectious and if you need something to put a smile on your face, this is the episode for you.
    You can find Richie’s online fitness platform at www.sortyourfitout.com and follow him on Insta @richie.swan. Jan is also on Insta @just.janswan_

    Fitness coach, ultra endurance athlete, nutrition coach and influencer Sophie Grace Holmes is our guest this week and it’s such a positive, uplifting chat!
    Sophie was diagnosed with life threatening lung disease cystic fibrosis at 4 months old and at age 19 was told she may only have a couple of years to live. She went on to defy expectation and through the incredible power of her mind set went on to prove the doctors completely wrong.
    Sophie talks to us about how she stays motivated to show up as her best self, the importance of self-care and how that can mean something completely different to different people, and takes us through her unbelievable journey climbing Mount Kilimanjaro after many people told her she wouldn’t be able to do it.

    In our first episode Helen is the guest on her own podcast! She talks about how she felt when she got her diagnosis of Lymphoma, how the treatment affected her mentally and physically and how what she’s been through has changed her outlook on life.
    Helen is really honest about her experience with cancer, and how while she’s managed to remain positive and is incredibly thankful to be here, there are also days when she doesn’t wake up feeling that way, and why that’s completely ok.
    This is a raw, open, and sometimes extremely emotional chat about how it feels to go through cancer and come out of the other side. We hope this episode will help you if you’ve been through something similar to Helen or if you’re supporting someone with cancer or any other kind of major health issue.

    • Coughing or chest pain
    • Fever or chills
    • Frequent infections
    • Itchy skin or rash
    • Loss of appetite or nausea
    • Night sweats
    • Persistent weakness and fatigue
    • Shortness of breath
    • Swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, or groin
