In this episode, I’m joined by Rose Mac - a boxing coach, personal trainer, martial artist, and guide for the visually impaired.

Rose has worked at the top levels of competition before dedicating herself to coaching, where she now helps everyone from film and TV professionals to everyday enthusiasts.

Our conversation begins with her inspiring “Up and Out” project, which encourages older adults, including those in nursing homes, to keep moving, stay active, and discover joy in movement.

With her Up and Out Activity Book for Seniors and videos on her YouTube channel, Rose is proving that it’s never too late to build strength, resilience, and confidence.

You can find more about Rose and her work on her website and follow her on instagram @rosemac01

In our conversation we also explore the art of coaching, and how Rose supports people to uncover their inner strengths, build resilience, and cross the threshold into realising they can achieve far more than they thought possible.

This is an uplifting and motivating conversation about movement, empowerment, and unlocking human potential at every stage of life.

The Description

In this inspiring follow-up conversation, I speak once again with ultra-runner Jamie Vidler, fresh from completing his extraordinary 250k ultra challenge across the Pembrokeshire coastal paths.

Over five days of mainly relentless mud, wind, and rain - with just one sunny day to start - Jamie not only faced the brutal physical demands of the terrain but also confronted the internal challenges that long-distance endurance brings.

Running this ultra wasn’t just about distance, it was about raising awareness and funds for Big Moose, a charity dedicated to providing free therapy for those who need it but cannot afford it.

Alongside his full-time corporate job in retail and his ongoing training as a breathwork coach, Jamie found the time and commitment to prepare for this immense challenge.

In our conversation, he shares the lessons of resilience, the deep inner awareness that emerged, and the reflections that only an experience of this intensity can bring.

This is a story of endurance, growth, and the power of pushing beyond what we think is possible, both in body and in mind.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Louise Camby, professional speaker and director of her family music business, about the power of legacy and creativity.

Louise’s grandfather, Johnny Douglas, was a prolific composer who wrote the iconic music for The Railway Children and released over 500 albums in his lifetime.

Louise is now dedicated to keeping his legacy alive while also encouraging others to reflect on the legacy they themselves are creating, both personally and within their businesses.

She shares about her current project: the upcoming release of a triple album (vinyl and CD) of Johnny Douglas’s much-loved 1980s Marvel animation scores.

Alongside her work, Louise is a Freeman of the Musicians’ Livery, and is passionate about creating opportunities for young musicians from low-income families to access lessons and nurture their talents. T

hough she plays violin herself, Louise’s focus today is on public speaking, empowering others, and continuing her family’s musical heritage.

This is a conversation about creativity, contribution, and the deep impact of legacy, one that resonates far beyond music.
