I've just turned 40! This month was also the anniversary of an event that happened when I was 18 years old, and I can't believe that was over half my lifetime ago! On this podcast I talk about things I would say to 18-year-old me, and things I would say to other young adults who are thinking about their futures.

On this episode I talk to Toni Carver of TLC Style and Colour. We talk about why she left her career in finance, the importance of feeling good and boosting your confidence and the importance of life/work balance and life a year after the first UK lockdown.

On this episode I talk to Felix Leech, a stuntman from London. He has worked on productions such as Game of Thrones, Sex Education and the Paddington films.

On this episode I talk to Joanna Pease, a Life Coach based in West Yorkshire, UK. To some people, the concept of life coaching may seem like an American idea, or an unnecessary investment, so Joanna takes the time to talk about the positive impact it can have on your life. We discuss why she chose a career, why it is fine to change your career as much as you need, and then shares a near death experience of her own which affects her decisions today.

Today I talk about recognising your value in the workplace, the business world and on a personal level with your family, friends, peers and colleagues. 

On this episode I speak to David Wilson, the Director of Bradford UNESCO City of Film.

 We discuss the impact the film office has had on the city of Bradford, his encounters with actors like John Malkovich and Cillian Murphy, and his love for playing and performing music.
