This episode includes discussion of restrictive dieting, specifically the keto diet, and its impact on mental and physical health. The guest shares personal experiences of health challenges that led to a significant period of reflection and life reassessment. These topics may be sensitive for listeners with experiences related to disordered eating or mental health struggles. Listener discretion is advised.

In this open and honest conversation, Claire shares her journey through self-doubt and significant health challenges, including the impact of restrictive dieting, which ultimately led her to pause and re-evaluate what truly matters. By embracing a less conventional path, she began to rediscover her own worth and creative identity.

We discuss the importance of mental health, the power of community among childminders and how AI, when used thoughtfully, can support educators without replacing the personal magic that makes their work so meaningful.

Art therapy provides a unique platform for self-expression, which Lesley Andrew believes is essential for both children and adults. She discusses how the pressure of academic standards can stifle creativity, as students often focus more on grades than on genuine expression, which she knows about first-hand as a former teacher. By removing the pressure to perform, art therapy allows individuals to tap into their true selves, creating an environment where they can explore their creativity freely. Lesley emphasises that the process is more important than the final product, encouraging her clients to embrace experimentation and navigate their artistic journeys without fear.

Miriam Cunliffe is a professional storyteller who loves being part of someone’s journey—helping them share it through photography or writing. With more than 20 years in regional newspapers, she transitioned from the fast pace of quick-turnaround reporting to a slower, more thoughtful approach that allows her to understand both the story and the person behind it. Photography has also become a key part of her own wellbeing practice, inspiring her to create her first wellbeing photography course, which recently culminated in an exhibition.

What if the key to better sex isn’t performance, but presence?

In this rich and thoughtful conversation, host Lucy Colgan sits down with psychotherapist Nadine Pittam to unpack how shame, silence and unspoken expectations quietly shape our intimate lives, and how creativity can transform them.

Drawing from her work as a psychotherapist, Nadine explores why talking about sex can feel so difficult and how shame often blocks authentic sexual expression. Together, we examine how desire discrepancies and performance pressures create barriers in intimate relationships. Nadine shares why removing these barriers - turning off the turn off's - is often the most effective path to deeper connection and more fulfilling sex.

The episode also highlights the importance of attunement, vulnerability and play. By balancing a strong sense of self with relational awareness, couples can move beyond scripts and toward more creative, connected experiences. Ultimately, this conversation invites listeners to see intimacy not as a goal to achieve, but as a dynamic, evolving space that thrives on curiosity and courage.

This episode is an invitation to gently reset your creative vision without burning everything down. I share five grounding reflections to help you reconnect with the why behind your work, not what you’ve built, not what it’s become, but what first felt alive when you began. We talk about naming what feels heavy without judgment, redefining success on your own terms, and choosing a pace that actually supports your life.

This is a soft reset. A recalibration. A reminder that your creative work is allowed to evolve, and that sustainability, clarity, and care are part of the vision too.

Rosie’s story is one of creation in the midst of chaos. In this episode, she shares the birth story of The Triplet Tree, where Rosie combines three strands of her work - dance, massage and volunteering as forms of connection and healing. We explore how global disruption sparked not just adaptation, but transformation: a move to Bavaria, the building of a survival cabin, and the deep questioning of identity and labels, especially around motherhood. We discuss how stories, both the ones we tell ourselves and those we inherit, shape who we become and how learning to honour growth means letting those narratives evolve.

Raised in Northamptonshire beside the wild edges of Delapré Abbey Forest, Rosie’s early years were shaped by nature, adventure, and the unique energy of growing up as a triplet with an older sister. That intense closeness - the constant negotiation of space, time, and connection planted the seeds for a life rooted in collaboration, play, and care. Dance became a steady companion through childhood and teenage years. A thread that stitched together exploration, perseverance, and expression. Having experimented with a wide spectrum of styles and techniques, Rosie now finds the most freedom through improvisation and funk-based movement. Her practice is alive with grooves, rhythm, and a vibrant sense of pandemonium, always balanced by deep listening and refined technique. The contrast of chaos and order adds nuance and depth to everything she shares.

In this episode, we explore the heart of play-based learning and the power of continuous provision, not just as a classroom strategy, but as a long-term investment in children’s development, wellbeing, and future readiness.

• How does continuous provision create space for autonomy, creativity, and deep-level thinking?
• How can we measure the impact of play meaningfully, without losing its magic?
• What are the benefits of child-led play when building the core skills children need to thrive in today's fast-paced and ever-changing world: problem-solving, resilience, emotional literacy, and confidence?
• How can educators reimagine learning frameworks not just for reform, but to truly future-proof our children’s wellbeing, creativity and growth?

In this short but meaningful interlude, my grandma shares her reflections on aging with purpose, the value of staying active, and how creativity weaves its way into everyday life. We talk about the joy of hands-on hobbies, the legacy of making things with care, and her beautiful, simple secret to happiness: gratitude, faith, and community.

It’s a gentle reminder that creativity doesn’t always look like art — sometimes, it’s in the way we live, love, and connect.

In 2021, Laura lost her job, which significantly impacted her confidence and left her wondering how she would ever be able to return to the workforce. Shortly afterwards, she accompanied her husband on a business trip and decided to do some sketching. As she watched little characters come to life on the page, she began to wonder if she could turn them into personalised paintings for children. However, her journey didn’t go exactly as planned, as her perfectionist tendencies meant each order would take days to complete. Recognising that her initial approach wasn’t sustainable, she realised she had fallen back in love with being creative and needed to find a new way to make it work. Laura then taught herself how to use the drawing app Procreate, allowing her to transform her sketches into children's prints. This led to a total rebrand and the birth of Mouse & Meg — a name inspired by her son Tom (whom she nicknamed Mouse since he was a baby) and her daughter Megan.

Have you ever felt stuck in a career that just doesn’t feel right? Or wondered what it takes to make a bold leap into something completely new? Today, we’re joined by Emily Labbate, a true jack of all trades who’s turned her passion into her new career. Most recently, Emily was training to become a solicitor specialising in commercial property, but the relentless grind, combined with studying and earning just above minimum wage, left her feeling out of balance and disconnected from her family. So, what did she do? She took a brave leap in January this year to focus solely on her side hustle — property development. Just six months in, Emily has already completed her first solo project and is close to completing her second!

Heather Moore initially began creating linocuts as a form of therapy, but her passion for the process grew so strong that she decided to pursue it professionally. She left her teaching career to establish her own art business as a self-employed artist in 2022. Inspired by nature, memories, and the wonders of the world, Heather produces vibrant artworks designed to lift your mood and provide space for reminiscence and dreaming. Her recent work celebrates the dynamic waves of the North East coastline, as well as family trips through forests and around lakes. Deeply intrigued by how colour influences mood, Heather creates images that blend observation with imagination, playing with colour manipulation to evoke emotion. Her artistic process involves combining uplifting colours with textures and lines derived from her sketches, layered through multiple stages of lino reduction print - each piece uniquely created and impossible to reproduce exactly again.

From a young age, Jennifer was captivated by the power of music. At just seven years old, she attended a classical concert featuring a choir, an experience that left a lasting impression on her. In that moment, she knew she wanted to join them, to sing and connect with others through music. Jennifer sung with Cantamus Girl’s Choir and throughout her time with the choir, learned not only to sing but also to interpret music emotionally, conveying messages captured across centuries. After entering the workforce, Jennifer drifted from her musical calling. However, her 17 years working at sea provided her with a profound sense of connection akin to that found in music. Now a passionate Vocal Teacher, Jennifer is dedicated to helping others discover their singing potential across all styles. She draws on her extensive life experience to guide her students, empowering them to share the artistry they feel within the music.

Janet was diagnosed with Younger Onset Parkinson’s Disease at the age of 47. Rather than allowing her diagnosis to define her, she has transformed her journey into a canvas of resilience and artistry. Among her remarkable achievements since this new chapter in her life are a 12-month art road trip, culminating in the publication of her book "A Different Road," funded by Arts Council England in 2022-2023. Janet's creative spirit shines through in her music as well; she co-wrote the song "The Road" with Sheila North and Charlotte Daniels, which not only participated in The World Parkinson’s Song Contest but also won. The song was performed live with the WPC choir in Barcelona in 2023.

They joined together as a team last year and have since used their performance skills and community outreach program to raise hundreds of pounds for charity, create protest banners calling for change, visit cities around the UK to experience some of the best live theatre and museums / galleries, created multi-lingual social media content which has attracted thousands of views on TikTok and Instagram. They've also helped to plan a sleepover event in the National Civil War Centre museum, curated a temporary exhibition after visiting local archives, and volunteered as ushers for theatre shows at the Palace Theatre Newark.

Amy’s journey into laughter yoga began in 2012, shortly after she moved to the UK, where she had no extended family or friends. Struggling with intense loneliness, she fell into depression and found herself forgetting how to smile, let alone laugh. Remembering a laughter yoga workshop she attended in 2010, she decided to search for similar courses in the UK. This led her to a two-day laughter yoga course in London, where she became a certified laughter yoga leader. Since then, Amy has actively participated in various wellness events, eager to share the benefits of laughter yoga with others. In recognition of her efforts to spread joy through this practice, she received the Women & Home Amazing Women Award 2021.

This episode is a powerful reminder that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of your well-being. We explore the often-overlooked wisdom of creativity and intuition in business and life, and how skills from fields like stage management and event planning are more transferable - and valuable - than they seem. We ask the big question: What does success really look like for you? and challenge the relentless hustle culture by advocating for intentional living, purposeful goal-setting, and aligned action.

Whether you're pivoting careers, launching a passion project, or simply redefining what matters, this episode offers grounded insight for building a life and business on your own terms.
