my twenties I explored spirituality through books like The Celestine Prophecies, Deepak Chopra, yoga and tarot readings, however it wasn’t until my mid-thirties after a spiritual awakening, that I became fully aware of my own connection to spirit. This came about when I saw my dead Papa (grandfather) standing in my living room. This led me to study at Arthur Findlay College and take workshops with James van Praagh and June Field. I also studied to become an energy healer, and trained as a Soul Plan Practitioner – a powerful intuitive system of life purpose analysis that reconnects you with your gifts, talents and goals. Many of us seem to have lost the connection to

I see more and more people becoming interested
in spirituality, intuition, crystals, healing and energy in general, particularly the younger generations. We have many more spiritual leaders and trailblazers in mainstream media now and - given the struggles we have all faced during the pandemic - people are openly turning to alternative ways of finding a sense of peace and purpose. That’s what my podcast is about. As a radio presenter, I loved communicating and sharing stories – they help us connect and make sense of the world and ourselves. I am also passionate about helping people to reconnect with their passion and purpose. My How to be SuccesSoul® podcast combines both passions. It’s straighttalking, heartfelt and enlightening podcast full of soul centred wisdom, life changing insights and free flowing conversations with some of the most inspiring, knowledgeable and honest voices in wellbeing, spirituality, self-love and personal development. It’s for people who are ready to thrive on their own terms. Looking back, I’ve experienced a lot of bullying and rejection in my life, at school and in the work place. I’ve also experienced a number of health issues, including skin cancer, infertility and miscarriages. As a result, I withdrew and internalised my feelings. Life forces us out of ourselves and this taught me to understand the power of words to shape our reality. I learnt to take responsibility for everything in my life. I found courage and vulnerability and was able to open up and ask for help. n
