Today’s guest is someone who I look to for inspiration for self-trust, strong boundaries and a consistent willingness to learn. Lily Potter is a health coach, ‘inner mammal’ trainer, teacher and mama. She’s navigated all sorts of challenges and joys of life from healing infertility and acne, through to divorce and starting her own business and everything in between. Lily’s curiosity for understanding the depth of life has given her this strength and commitment to change that is so unique (and inspiring!). She now teaches her clients how to build in healthy comfort habits and to develop stress mastery (which still includes the reduction of stressors and management techniques) – helping them to feel at ease and have a sense of freedom. We get into all sorts of topics in this conversation, from how to develop ‘stress mastery’, through to self-trust, and overcoming feelings of shyness (particularly when they’re keeping you small) and so much more. She is also training to be a Functional Nutritionist as well and will be able to help her clients solve complex physical and mental issues regarding their digestion, mood, chronic illnesses, autoimmune disorders etc. Going through a health crisis can also lead to stress mastery when faced with a curious and open mind. It takes grit to get through and I will be combining my work around stress to further support people on their healing journeys.

Episode 106: Mastering Stress And Doing Things Your Way, With Lily Potter

I could have recorded multiple episodes with this week’s guest and not run out of things to talk about. Jennifer Bronsnick is such a beautiful example of someone living and breathing her work. Having been through her own anxiety journey, and trained in multiple tools to support herself and others to come back to a place of resilience and self-confidence. Her toolbox ranges from integrative therapy, through to human design, mindfulness-based therapy, and more. In this episode we talk about busyness (and what to do with it), how to keep resetting when things get too much, listening to your curiosity, and how anxiety can actually be a great messenger. Can’t wait to hear what your favourite takeaways are! For more information go to www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/episode105.

Episode 105: Anxiety As A Great Messenger, With Jennifer Bronsnick

When I asked Nicky what brings her joy in her life, she said she’s all about “magic, moments and memories”. What a beautiful way to stay centred through change, stress and transition. In this episode we dive deeper into Nicky’s journey, how she found herself creating journals and writing a book whilst working full time in a completely different field, and what the stress of her corporate job has taught her about coming back to joy. We talk about: ‘fulfilling’ versus ‘full on’; tired versus depleted; and owning your own struggles in order to be free.

Episode 104: Rewriting Your Stress Story And Finding Your Flow, With Nicky Rowbotham

Hajni Erdelyi says the work she does with her clients is to help them to peel back all those layers of the onion, to connect in to the truth of who they are—and so much of that has to do with embodiment. For me, every time I speak with Hajni I feel like I discover a new layer, as if her onion too is peeling before me. ? On the surface she may present as a Physiotherapist who knew quite early on that she wanted to work with the body. However it was turning points in her personal rather than her professional life, that really shaped the teacher and empowerment leader she is today. We talk about her transition into motherhood, loss and recovery from grief—and how her processing and digesting of her own trauma has led her to a deeper place to lead her client’s through their own empowerment journey. We also talk about the power of getting to know your body, including experiencing that wild part of you. This is a story for any woman who has ever felt out of touch and is ready to reconnect with themselves.

Episode 103: Doing Grief Your Own Way, Motherhood, And Trusting In Your Journey, With Hajni Erdelyi

Dr Heather McKee’s fascination with human behaviour began from a young age. Combining with her love for being outdoors, grew into her interest in health sciences, and led her to resign from a solid job, step out of her comfort zone, and go out on her own! She wanted to understand why well-intentioned people with all the resources they needed couldn’t stick to their healthy habit goals! So, she sat down with each person in the clinic to understand more about what was holding them back. Heather is now a leading lifestyle behaviour change specialist—supporting businesses to design exceptional, long-term, wellness programmes that deliver on positive health outcomes. Having studied health behaviour change psychology for 10 years, her mission is to offer a sustainable, evidence-based alternative to an industry saturated with quick fixes and health fads. And she has some good news to share with you about creating healthy (lasting!) habits in your life. Hint: It’s does NOT need to be hard. We cover: •Why intrinsic motivation is best; •Why goals are only a snapshot and what to set instead; •Creating super small and achievable steps to success; and •Following your inner joy.

Episode 102: Backing Yourself With Bite-Sized Habits, With Dr. Heather McKee

For the first time ever we have a second-round interview with a guest on the Let It Shine Podcast. And in some ways, Laura Jane Jones, requires little introduction. I rave about her and her work all the time, particularly if you hang out on Instagram with me. Laura first shared her story in Episode 43, and how she started tapping into her creativity as a way to manage change and stress. Fast-forward around 12 months since that conversation and so much has evolved for her! In today’s episode we get into the juicy details of how she published her first book (the fun bits and the hard bits); what she teaches her kids in class that all adults should learn too (my favourite part); and accessing a sense of certainty from within. I can’t wait for you to tune in and share with us both your favourite insights.

Season 7 Trailer

Are you as committed to your JOY as you are to your deadlines, keeping your boss happy, and taking care of those around you? In today's episode I'm sharing the importance of getting stubborn about your joy and why it matters. For so many of us our inbuilt autopilot reaction is to choose hard work over ease, drama over joy and pain over pleasure. However when we can get to know and embody our joy on a deep level it can actually give us all the support, and fuel to move through our biggest challenges. It's time to flip your priorities and practice your joy.For more details and shownotes: www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/episode98 and for details on my new group coaching course, called JOY, head to www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/joycourse.

Episode 96: Trusting Your Body, Recovering From Fatigue, And Finding Strength Through Community, With Alisha Rose Kruger

Britny Jelacic had always done the ‘good girl thing’ until a series of back to back traumatic events had her questioning how she was showing up in the world.She says it took her “getting majorly burnt out and diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions and being almost bedridden” to realise how much things needed to change.Through her business, Britny helps women in business do less and thrive by aligning with their cycle, human design, and wild unfiltered selves.We dive into her burn out experience and the lessons it taught her, the paradox of over-working when you love your own business (and how to shift that mindset), and what doing ‘nothing’ teaches us.I loved so much about this conversation and can’t wait to hear your insights!For more details and shownotes, or to play catch up on previous episodes, head to http://www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/episode95.

Episode 95: Living A Wildly Fulfilled Life And Ditching Over-Working For Good With Britny Jelacic

Were you someone who grew up ‘holding it all together’ and not necessarily expressing your emotions?Maybe you thought that it wasn’t okay to cry, or to be angry, and instead you had to show your strong, happy self all the time.The confusion we have over our sense of ‘busyness’ is that we feel that the busier we become the more in control we’ll be. And if we’re more in control, then surely we can direct those feelings and emotions to where we want them to go.Unfortunately the almost opposite is true. Busy for most people is a ‘numbing’ strategy, one that stops you from not just feeling all those uncomfortable things (stress, overwhelm, exhaustion), but also stops you from experiencing the joy (excitement, delight, pleasure).In today’s episode we dive a little deeper into why feelings are so important and how allowing yourself to soften into both sides of the emotional spectrum will transform not just your relationship with busy (for good!), also your entire life—making that vision for more ease, joy, efficiency, fun and fullness easy to fulfil.For more details and shownotes, or to play catch up on previous episodes, head to http://www.thedaisypatch.co.uk/episode94.

Brought to you by Life Coach, wellness enthusiast and practical positive thinker, Danielle Brooker, this podcast is about getting real about how tight we're holding on to "busy" to stay in control and to avoid feeling stressed. That resistance also means we're holding back on our deep sense of joy. Expect conversations about creating more joy, fun and pleasure in our lives, inspiring stories, tips and coaching strategies to create a life that completely lights you up.
