Finding magic podcast episode

A few months ago, I found myself sitting in a little booth in a podcast studio in Norwich opposite the very lovely Beverley Bishop. Bev’s a remarkable woman with an inspiring personal story. You can read more about her here.

Bev heard about my coaching work through a mutual friend and thought that I’d make a useful contributor to her upcoming podcast series. I was delighted when she told me what the subject was, and, even though I felt a bit of trepidation, I said a whole-hearted “yes”.

What followed was a meaningful conversation about "finding our magic within" from our personal and professional perspectives. I think you can tell when you listen to it that it’s a subject Beverley and I are both passionate about.

The interview was an opportunity to reflect on my own experiences and consider the pathway I had taken to find magic and create a life for myself that was more hopeful and satisfying.

Like many people, I've had times in my life when I’ve felt like I wasn’t living like my true self. I remember having a painful realisation that I was stuck in patterns of being and doing that didn't match up with who I truly was and what mattered to me. I felt like I was going through the motions of life, and everything felt scattered and uncertain.

I began to understand that the hopeful spark I was looking for wasn't something I needed to create from scratch. It was already with me, but needed some help to be uncovered from underneath layers of painful experiences, unhelpful thoughts, difficult emotions, and learned patterns of avoidance.
