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!
If you want to learn more about what we talk about in this episode, you can listen to Dr Rob & Debra’s podcast Soul Sessions by Creative Mind, and if you’re interested in the courses they offer, their website is www.creativemindlife.com. You can also follow them on Instagram @creativemindmethod.

6: Richie & Jan Swan: Finding The Positives No Matter What Life Throws At You
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_

5: Scott Thomas: The Importance Of Truly Getting To Know Yourself
Scott Thomas may be best known for appearing on the second season of Love Island but he is so much more than that as we find out in this episode. Scott tells us how after making a huge mistake at a work event involving alcohol he decided to go tee-total for a year which completely changed his life. From professional party boy to successful businessman and podcast host, Scott’s journey of self discovery is incredible to listen to, and really shows what you can achieve if you’re willing to put the work in.
We discuss his huge leaps in self development, why getting to know yourself is so important, and the need for boundaries to stay on track.

4: Sophie Grace Holmes: Defying The Odds Through The Power Of Your Mindset
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.
To see everything Sophie’s up to follow her on Instagram @sophiegraceholmes and we hope this episode inspires you as much as it did us!

This is the podcast that highlights the power of sharing a story and how connected we can feel just by opening up about our individual experiences.
Hosts Liz Fletcher and Helen Rigby sit down for a cuppa with each guest, and find that even just chatting about what mug they have and why is a great conversation starter.
This is a series full of guests who have all been on journeys of transformation in their lives, often bringing them far from where they started. This all stemmed from Helen sharing her cancer journey on Instagram and realising how much the feelings and thoughts she described resonated with people, even if they weren’t facing the same problems.
So grab a cuppa and get ready to hear some inspirational, emotional, and sometimes just downright funny stories!
