As kids decide who they want to be when they grow up, is AI narrowing the choices or creating new opportunities?

We talk dogs, grief, purpose, creativity… and how hope and compassion can grow even through life’s toughest seasons.

Julie Hill is a writer, podcaster, and lifelong dog lover who’s been celebrating the human–dog bond since 2006. From her rural home in Shropshire, surrounded by family, dogs, cats, and a lively crew of companion animals, she hosts DogCast Radio, where she’s interviewed world-class trainers, behaviorists, scientists, authors, and rescue advocates from around the globe.

Her heart-dog Buddy the Black Lab took her from the main arena at Crufts to appearances on national TV, and his loss shaped the empathy and passion she brings to her work today.

In 2015, Julie was diagnosed with MS — a moment she describes honestly and powerfully:

“It shut me down, I felt I lost who I was.”

Since then, she’s shared her journey with courage and openness, speaking about anxiety, postpartum struggles, resilience, and the deep healing connection we share with our dogs. She’s also taken the stage as a stand-up comedian — even performing at the legendary London Comedy Store — using humor and storytelling to help others feel less alone.

In this conversation, we talk dogs, grief, purpose, creativity… and how hope and compassion can grow even through life’s toughest seasons.

Today’s guest, Ellen Busch, knows what it means to rebuild from the ground up. After escaping an abusive marriage and battling the stigma of dyslexia, she found herself at rock bottom — no job, no home, and no hope.

But one moment of clarity changed everything. With the help of therapy, coaching, and even training alongside U.S. Navy SEALs, Ellen began to heal, reclaim her strength, and rediscover her purpose.

Now, as a certified life coach and author of Dis (Empowered), she helps others move from surviving to thriving.

Let’s dive into her inspiring story of resilience, courage, and rediscovered power.

Welcome back to another episode of Let Fear Bounce!

Today’s guest is living proof that resilience and determination can turn the impossible into reality. At just 14 years old, Nick’s parents were told he might never walk, talk, or even eat on his own again after a life-threatening snowboarding accident. But Nick wasn’t about to let fear or circumstance define him. Less than 90 days later, he didn’t just walk—he ran—out of the hospital, defying every odd stacked against him.

Now a nationally recognized motivational speaker and 3X best-selling author, Nick has dedicated his life to inspiring others to rise above setbacks. He created the S.T.E.P. System—Support, Trust, Energy, Persistence—a framework that empowers people to push through obstacles and reach their fullest potential.

Through his movement, Common Goal, Nick shows us that challenges aren’t barriers, but the very foundation for growth, resilience, and success. His story is powerful, his energy contagious, and his message one you don’t want to miss.

So grab your coffee, settle in, and join me as we welcome Nick Prefontaine to the Let Fear Bounce podcast!

Today, I welcome Matina Singh to Let Fear Bounce.

Her story is one of courage, resilience, and transformation. Over a year after leaving an unhealthy marriage, she found herself sitting in the silence of her living room—still wrestling with doubts, legal battles, financial strain, and motherhood. She had left, but she hadn’t yet healed.

Was the abuse really that bad? Maybe he was right... Maybe I’m not good enough.

Instead of accepting that pain as her new reality, Matina asked herself a powerful question: What if there’s another way? That spark set her on a journey of relentless self-discovery.

Matina has made it her mission to help others find emotional freedom and empowerment from past pain.

Get ready for a conversation filled with raw honesty, hope, and inspiration. Please join me in welcoming the amazing Matina Singh.
