Gregory says, ‘Atlas Accessories got started because at 55 I decided I wanted to do something for myself’. It brings together his love of jewellery design, interest in meaning and symbolism and enjoyment of storytelling. In fact as soon as he’d got some of his designs made into ‘actual proper pieces of jewellery’ people were asking him where they could buy the bracelets.

The next stage was coming up with the name, Gregory says, ‘the whole concept behind the accessories is meaning and symbolism and the materials all have animal symbolism or stone symbolism… so I wanted the name of the company to embody that and the more I thought about it I had this dog called Atlas he was pretty much my best friend – the most important thing in my life and like in any culture they say if you call out the name of a divinity or an entity… it’s calling on that benevolence or that spirit in some way or that energy’.

Gregory talks about the importance of the leather and stones used in his jewellery and how they are great for storytelling. ‘By combining all these natural materials you can create symbolic meaning in the individual pieces and the reason that’s important I think it’s great for storytelling. Like when I meet someone, especially if I’m a little nervous, they usually ask about my bracelets and I can point to one and I can tell a little story that just tells a little bit about me and kind of how I view the world’. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 24th November at 12pm GMT.

Robert says, ‘I love getting to impact people’s lives and being able to share nuggets of gold and clues I’ve learned from travelling around the world and being able to train people’. He’s been lucky enough to travel around the world and taught over half a million students helping them to find out what their passion is and how it is achievable if they follow the ‘6 life changing habits’ which are ‘real, relevant and repeatable’.

Robert grew up in a close-minded society where he was told, ‘You don’t have to like what you’re doing. If it’s giving you security and it’s helping you earn money to take care of your family then you do that job whether it’s something you enjoy or not.’ However, after being laid off again and again he embraced personal development which he’d initially thought was too ‘woo woo’ but says, ‘I’ve been blown away by ‘woo’ things that have taken my life in a totally new direction’.

Robert is clear to point out that success doesn’t come without ‘practice practice practice’ and how important it is, ‘that you surround yourself with growth minded people being willing to be vulnerable enough to say you know what I don’t know this or I’m not the best at it who do I know who could assist me on it and be willing to ask for them help’. The interview is full of nuggets of wisdom so make sure you don’t miss it. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 17th November at 3pm GMT.

Jennifer is a financial wellness expert who started out helping people with their retirement plans. What she realised was that people struggled with it because, ‘they didn’t have the money management today to begin to focus on bigger things like not needing a job someday. She realised a more holistic approach was needed because, ‘It’s hard to be well, to be happy and healthy if you don’t have a good sense of your finances and a good balance in them’.

After financial troubles hit the finance company where she worked, she was left feeling frustrated but soon realised how lucky she was. ‘And in that moment of frustration, I was able to tell myself focus on whatever’s important to you like be happy find your happiness – don’t worry about the money it’s there and that was such a gift and I realised very few people likely would have that same sentiment and that was a gift that I could give other people this habit that just came naturally to me’. It also helps that Jennifer is very approachable and enjoys a more collaborative approach that allows her to help a broad spectrum of people from refugees to financial experts.

She has one piece of advice for all of us start talking about money with your children, your partner, your friends, your work. ‘if you can build up the courage to face your numbers yourself and to start having those conversations not only will you improve your own life but you’ll improve the lives of everyone around you’. And… if you’re thinking of getting married make sure you ‘marry carefully’ and have those uncomfortable chats about money and spending habits early on. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 10th November at 2pm GMT.

Klaudia is a mindset and success coach for women. She says, ‘You will find plenty of people who will talk about mindset recently, and say you need to be constantly happy to attract positive things and you know what that’s ok but that comes later’. She explains she helps people to understand where their emotions come from, ‘Whatever you do now, whatever your belief system is, whatever patterns you have, fears maybe creep in every single day and they have come from somewhere. They haven’t been there for a couple of weeks; they haven’t been there for a couple of months they’ve been there for at least 30 years or 40 years!’.

Klaudia explains we all inherited these emotions when we were young children, and these emotions are what is holding us back. ‘What I’m working on is getting to the root of your problems and trying to shift those beliefs, those patterns from childhood so that they will not bother you anymore and you are ready to live your fulfilled life’. In fact, Klaudia explains we continue to build on these core traumas even when they no longer seem traumatic. For example, if we are going for a job interview, we will feel the same negative emotions we felt as a child trying to answer a question in class and these negative feelings will repeat until we change them. She says, ‘our patterns have been set years ago, that’s your default system, and what I’m working on is trying to change your default system create a new one that you are able to live your perfect life without any fears, without any negative patterns and without this emotional exhaustion of where those feelings are coming from what’s happening and why am I constantly anxious, angry or I can’t sleep’.

If this sounds familiar, then check out Klaudia’s website below. She runs 12 week individual and group courses so there is something for everyone. In these courses she helps you to work through forgiveness and set up goals. She says, ‘For most of us setting up goals are extremely complicated. I have the way how to make it simpler, how to make it easy and how to create an action plan step by step to get you from where you are and where you want to be’. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 3rd November at 3pm BST.

Denise started making granola and muesli for her family during the pandemic in 2020. She explains, ‘It started out of pure necessity just for my own consumption and my families’ consumption – we love to eat granola and muesli’. After getting the thumbs up from her family she started to give her gourmet granola and muesli to a few friends and neighbours to see what they thought and that’s when it took off and Engrained was born. Denise says, ‘I did not set out to start a business at all but somehow it has turned into one and I’m the first one surprised to be honest’.

Denise says she wanted to make her granola and muesli recipes appealing because, ‘it was initially intended for my children and myself so it had to be something that I was happy to dig into every day and that I knew they would get excited about as well’. The recipes also needed to be healthy and nourishing, ‘because I didn’t want to be running around preparing snacks all the time, so it sort of had to tick a few boxes but yes I definitely put a huge emphasis on the flavours’. She won’t be pushed into picking out her favourite flavour and with names like ‘Très chocolat’ Granola, Carrot Halwa Granola and Almond Cinnamon Crunch Granola I don’t blame her! Sustainability is also very important to her, ‘I see small businesses are really the ones leading the change and really putting change in consumers hands’ which is why you can get refills of her recipes at select refill shops (see www.engrained.co.uk for details). The interview was recorded on Wednesday 20th October at 12pm BST.

David works in financial services, but he says, ‘outside of my 9 to 5 I spend as much time outdoors on the water doing whatever that I possibly can’. He is also the County Training Manager at South London Scouts and I wanted to talk to him about how he felt the last 18 months had impacted the young people he works with. ‘On a positive note, I think the last 18 months have been great in that there’s been worldwide connections which would have never happened, we’ve met people, made new friends got people interested in different things that would never have happened. But on the flip side to that there’s a massive gap in the socialization of young people. There’s a lot of anxiety that’s come in that definitely wasn’t there before.’

David recognises, ‘Covid is a big restriction at the moment and obviously whilst we need to be mindful… I think we should be pushing to get young people outdoors doing different activities’. That said he says, ‘I generally find that every activity that we [South London Scouts] run will be pretty much sold out instantaneously because they’re so keen at the moment to get back doing things which is so great’. In fact, there is something for everyone at the Scouts for both girls and boys from 4 years old upwards to adult volunteers. David explains, ‘We’ve got Squirrels starting off super young, we’ve now got Cubs coming in, we then got Cub Scouts and really there’s a place in scouting from every age really up to adults’. What is he looking forward to in the future, ‘Just getting back into the proper outdoors. We have a general saying in scouting that there’s no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothing’. The interview was recorded on Monday 18th October at 12pm BST.

When Wishes Change is about how Tricia and her family navigated the miracle birth of her daughter Annabelle and her death 6 days later. It’s about grief and about how life can change but it is also about hope. After falling pregnant Tricia and her husband Jonas decided to have a test to find out the gender of the baby but they also found out she had Trisomy 18 and were recommended to have an abortion. After much thought and prayers they decided, ‘we wanted to keep the pregnancy and just give it our best’. She explains Annabelle defied the odds and was born despite them being told, ‘there was probably only a 10% chance of meeting her alive’. Tricia says, ‘I think even though it was a tragic situation… we were just so lucky to get to meet her and to hold her.’ She talks about when her eldest child Cameron met Annabelle, ‘I remember the moment when my son got to meet her and say hello to her... Every time Cameron came in the room her little head would pick up a little bit when he started talking’.

Tricia also talks about her job as a head volleyball coach at a high school being a positive outlet during her pregnancy. She is very proud and full of respect for her team who ended up winning the state championship. ‘I think these young athletes were so beyond their years to just see that I was going through something that was a really difficult situation... They had told me early on that this was for Annabelle and… they wanted to win state for her which was extremely humbling right’. Her coaching experience also helped her during this difficult time. She reflects, ‘You teach kids that it’s not about the winning and losing it’s about getting better and feeling like you have done everything… And for me, as I processed all of this I felt like… if I chose to continue with the pregnancy that I would do everything I could to keep myself healthy and the baby inside of me healthy and if I got to meet her alive I would do everything I could to make her comfortable’. This is a wonderful honest hopeful episode talking about how we can all navigate difficult times and grief. The interview was recorded on Friday 8th October.

Maria is a relationship coach who coaches codependents, ‘women and men that are in recovery from codependency to attract and manifest that relationship’. And by that relationship she means helping them to find, ‘a healthy loving relationship’. She goes on to explain, ‘40 years ago they could tell that if you grew up with addiction… you’d have some of the characteristics of codependency but the conversation has moved on and today we know that one of the hallmarks of codependent behaviour is you just grew up in a dysfunctional family’.

This is an area close to Maria’s heart as she married an addict and then slid into workaholism because of her codependency. She says, ‘I’d work round the clock 12 hours a day with maybe 20 minutes break because I didn’t have to feel I could be just a human doing and I think it’s important to recognise that. But what’s underlying codependent behaviour is shame and low self-esteem.’ Over 20 years later she is now a trained coach and in a healthy nurturing relationship and wants to provide the help she wishes she’d been able to get when she was younger.

Maria explains, ‘without any work if you have codependency, or you identify with it by the time you’re in midlife you’ll either be divorced maybe twice. Or, you’ll maybe not do a relationship because it’s too painful to be intimate with somebody… or jump from relationship to relationship.’ That’s why more education schools would lead to much better satisfying lives for younger people. Afterall, ‘the quality of our lives depends on our relationships with ourselves and with others’. The interview was recorded on Thursday 7th Oct at 2pm BST.
