  • Following awe and wonder in our lives with Meg Hooper
    2025/04/28

    When was the last time you let yourself be swept away by the sheer beauty of the world around you?


    Maybe it’s the sun sinking into a golden horizon or the way light dances through trees. These moments remind us of the profound joy that’s available — if we pause long enough to notice.

    In this special conversation, Dr. Meg Hooper and I explore the concept of awe, inspired by Julia Baird’s remarkable book Phosphorescence — a guide to finding light and wonder even in life’s darkest times.

    In this episode, we explore:

    🌿 How reconnecting with nature can heal and ground us
    🌿 The powerful impact of designing greener cities and communities
    🌿 How to nurture your own internal light through small, meaningful practices
    🌿 Why wonder and awe are essential acts of self-care

    This conversation is an invitation to seek out the extraordinary hiding in the everyday — and to rediscover the vibrant, luminous energy within yourself.

    BOOK MENTIONED:

    Phosphorescence

  • Master your Focus in a world of Distraction with Angela Lockwood
    2025/04/21

    In a world where distractions rule and our attention is constantly hijacked—how do we reclaim our focus and find clarity?

    In this powerful and practical episode, I sit down with Angela Lockwood, occupational therapist, author, speaker, and the brilliant mind behind The Focus Formula. With a career dedicated to helping people tune out the noise and tune into what truly matters, Angela shares the tools, mindset shifts, and daily habits that can help you own your attention and thrive—especially in leadership and business.

    From a life-altering accident that changed the course of her teenage years to becoming a sought-after voice in attention mastery, Angela’s story is both inspiring and relatable. Whether you’re drowning in to-do lists or feel like your mind never stops racing, this conversation will give you the clarity and calm you’ve been searching for.

    🎧 What We Cover:

    ✨The real reason we feel so mentally drained (hint: it’s not just your phone)

    ✨Angela’s personal story of resilience and how it led to her life’s work

    ✨The Focus Formula (AIM: Awareness, Intention, Mastery) and how to apply it today

    ✨Why energy management matters more than time management

    ✨Simple ways to soften the noise and find stillness in your day

    ✨The underrated power of intuition in business and life

    If you're ready to reclaim your attention and reconnect with what matters—this episode is for you.
