Welcome to Coaching Conversations, the show where we dive into the inspiring stories of innovators, coaches, and change-makers who are transforming lives and pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

In this episode, I’m speaking to Danielle Robins and she has a powerful and deeply personal story to share. Danielle grew up in a troubled household, with an emotionally unavailable, abusive alcoholic father. At 12, she chose to live with him after her parents’ messy divorce, drawn by his attempts to be the “cool dad.” By 16, she was kicked out, beginning a difficult journey to rebuild her bond with her mother. At 20, Danielle took charge of her life, embarking on a global journey of healing through yoga, meditation, and holistic practices. Now a qualified coach, she empowers others to heal relationship wounds, redefine their stories, and reclaim their lives.

Whether you repeatedly find yourself in relationships that leave you feeling unworthy, unloved and not good enough OR perhaps you push people away to avoid being abandoned, then pull them back in because you crave their attention. Maybe you’ve started to notice the same problems coming up again and again with different people.

I’ll be delving into these questions and so much more in today’s podcast.

Get ready for a raw, inspiring conversation about resilience, healing, and transformation.

In this episode of Coaching Conversations, I'm speaking to Sherly Tavarez, an entrepreneur, influencer and trailblazer.

Dominican-American fashion stylist and entrepreneur Sherly Tavarez is the visionary behind Haus of Curls, a brand created for women embracing their natural hair journey. Growing up, Sherly often heard remarks like, "Why don't you brush your hair?" and "Are you going to the salon to straighten it?"—messages that made her feel curly hair wasn’t beautiful.

For years, she used heat and chemicals to straighten her hair, but eventually decided to fully embrace her natural curls. When she couldn’t find a brand that matched her newfound confidence, Sherly took matters into her own hands, launching Haus of Curls. She transformed the negative comments about natural hair into empowering statements printed on t-shirts, creating a brand that celebrates and uplifts women with curls.

As the founder of Haus of Curls, Sherly has built a thriving brand that blends creativity, authenticity, and a commitment to sustainability in fashion. Her unique vision has not only reshaped how people approach personal style but also how they think about fashion’s impact on the world.

Sherly’s journey from stylist to successful business owner is packed with lessons on resilience, innovation, and carving out your own path in a competitive industry.

Get ready for an insightful conversation about fashion, entrepreneurship, community and staying true to your values.

In this powerful video, you'll discover the most effective strategies and techniques to overcome obstacles, achieve your goals, and unlock your full potential. From productivity hacks to mindset shifts, get ready to revolutionise your approach to life and start living the life you've always dreamed of.

In this episode of Coaching Conversations, I’m talking to Toby Gorniak aka Toby G MBE, all about the unseen power of his unique voice.

Over the last 18 years, Toby G has helped 1000’s of people to live their best lives, re-enter education, employment, and most importantly, be good people, giving back to their community.

Toby G has received an MBE honour from the Queen for his outstanding community contribution, an Honorary fellowship degree, has run with the Queen's Baton for the commonwealth games and has received many more accolades for his transformational work.

Driven by a deep passion, unwavering commitment, and a philosophy of empowerment, Toby is dedicated to helping young people who feel lost discover their potential. His mission is to create a springboard that enables these individuals to recognise their worth, connect with their value, and understand the positive influence they can have within their community.

Toby's journey has been far from easy. Throughout his childhood and much of his adult life, he was repeatedly told that he wouldn’t amount to anything and was even predicted to end up in prison. Despite facing constant adversity, Toby remained resilient, choosing to dedicate his life to helping others achieve their goals.

In this podcast, I'll be exploring what kept him moving forward when the odds were stacked against him, how his challenging upbringing shaped the person he is today, and his advice for those who feel like the world is against them.

This Coaching Conversation is an inspiring journey of life transformation and hope, where we uncover powerful stories of resilience, overcoming adversity, and practical insights on how to rise above life’s challenges and achieve your true potential.
