The Eat Nourish Love Podcast

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Carey is joined by Rachel Schofield — former BBC News Channel presenter of 19 years turned career and executive coach, author, and LinkedIn specialist.
Rachel's pivot from high-profile journalism to coaching was sparked not by a single dramatic moment, but by the slow erosion of meaning that came with covering Brexit wall-to-wall, day after day, on a 24-hour news cycle.
Her story is one many will recognise: a successful career that quietly stopped singing to her, an identity tightly bound to a prestigious employer, and the uncomfortable, necessary work of starting over — without the safety net of three big letters behind her name.

About Rachel Schofield
Rachel Schofield spent nearly two decades as a presenter on BBC News, reporting across domestic and international politics, business, and current affairs.
After leaving the BBC around the time of Covid, she trained as a professional coach and has since built a thriving practice working with career changers, corporate leaders, and teams.
Her work focuses on career transitions, visibility, communication, and the kind of self-awareness that drives real, lasting change.
She is the author of The Career Change Guide: Five Steps to Finding Your Dream Job, published by Penguin, and runs the Shine on LinkedIn self-paced online course, as well as 1-to-1 LinkedIn and career messaging consultancy.
Rachel also does associate coaching and leadership training for major organisations, facilitating fireside interviews with senior leaders and running workshops on career communication and workplace presence.

What This Episode Covers
Drawing on her own career shift and six years of coaching practice, Rachel unpacks why the messy middle of a career change is not a sign of failure — it is the process.
She challenges the myth that successful people glide effortlessly into new roles, shares case studies from her book, and explains why opportunities are almost always attached to other people, not to a polished website or a perfect Instagram post.
She also tackles the AI question head-on: what happens to personal authenticity when anyone can generate a polished, soundbite-ready voice? And she makes a compelling case that visibility is not vanity — it is leverage.

Rachel's Book
The Career Change Guide: Five Steps to Finding Your Dream Job Available on Amazon and all major book retailers.

Rachel's Three Key Takeaways
Opportunities are attached to other people — nurture your network genuinely, not transactionally.
Experiment in small, safe ways — you cannot think your way to clarity, you have to do your way there.
Visibility is not vanity — being seen gives you leverage, and leverage lets you make things happen.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by entrepreneur Sian Sutherland, co-founder of Plastic Planet, for a powerful and unflinching conversation about plastic, health, and the hidden systems shaping our lives.
Sian shares her journey from advertising, hospitality, and building a global skincare brand to becoming one of the most outspoken voices calling out plastic as an industry, design, and policy failure as opposed to a consumer one. 
She speaks candidly about why guilt, recycling, and “personal responsibility” are not the solution.
We hear about the true scale of the plastic crisis: collapsing biodiversity, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, falling fertility, rising cancers, and the quiet normalisation of overconsumption. 
The conversation also looks forward. Sian shares her views on the solutions from biomaterials and molded fibre to returnable packaging systems and government-led bans that unlock innovation, this episode is ultimately about hope rooted in action. 
This episode is a call to rethink what we buy, question who truly holds responsibility, and demand systemic change that puts human and planetary health first.

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline is joined by entrepreneur, investor, ultra-endurance athlete, and wellbeing visionary Louie Blake for a thoughtful conversation about identity, intuition, and what it truly means to live well.

Louie shares his journey from leaving school at 16 and building businesses in hospitality and plant-based food, to quietly undertaking extreme endurance challenges for charity and now developing a large-scale wellbeing hotel and private members’ club in the UK countryside. Along the way, he reflects on failure, belief, and why so much growth comes from learning who we need to become, rather than chasing external goals.

Together, Caroline and Louie explore mindfulness, awareness beyond labels, and how attachment to outcomes can shape our experience of life. They discuss wellness in a world full of noise and contradiction, the importance of returning to basics such as sleep, nourishment, stress management, and environment, and why not every health trend works for every body.

Louie also talks about ultra-endurance sport as a tool for building confidence, his approach to functional medicine and supplements, and how creating spaces rooted in nervous system regulation, community, and human connection may be more important than ever.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, trust your intuition, and reflect on how you want to feel and who you want to become as you move through life.
