This episode of Effortless Attraction is unlike any other.

My guest, Martina Crudden, shares a story that is almost impossible to comprehend — yet she speaks with such strength, grace and purpose.

Martina buried two of her children, one in 2009 and another in 2011. The depth of grief a parent experiences is beyond words — and to endure it twice is something very few could imagine. But her journey did not end there.

In 2015, Martina herself died and experienced what she describes as a near-death experience — an out-of-body awareness that brought her a powerful message: there was more for her to do. She was shown that her life still had purpose. That she was here to help humanity.

This conversation is raw, honest and deeply moving.

Since those life-altering experiences, Martina has gone on to work in various healing modalities. She speaks in schools, supports families, and is involved with numerous organisations, using her story to bring light into some of the darkest places.

If you are walking through grief, bereavement or loss, this episode may bring you hope. The pain of losing a child is something no parent should ever face — yet Martina’s story shows that even in unimaginable sorrow, purpose and meaning can still emerge.

You will not find many podcasts that hold this much life, loss, death, awakening and service within a single conversation.

In today’s episode I am joined by Maggie McCann, founder of Maggie Mc Creations - a woman who rediscovered her creative spark after decades of self-doubt.

In this powerful episode of the Effortless Attraction Podcast, I’m joined by the inspiring Megan Boggs for a real, raw conversation about identity, alcohol, and the quiet moment that changes everything.

Megan openly shares her past as the party girl — the first to arrive, the last to leave, and the familiar mantra of “I’ll have to catch up to what they’ve drank” if she arrived late. Alcohol felt like her friend… until one night changed her life forever.

After a final blackout in a ski resort, in minus 18 degrees, Megan woke with no memory of how she got home. The next morning, her partner’s words cut through everything:

“Am I going to have to telephone your mother one day to say something has happened to you?”

That sentence became the turning point.

Now, four years alcohol-free, Megan is a Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, supporting clients to create meaningful change through grounded, compassionate, and non-judgemental coaching. Her work is focused on small, realistic shifts that lead to lasting freedom — not perfection, pressure, or labels.

Megan is also the founder of Mellow Sport, a mental preparation and meditation programme designed to help athletes stay calm, focused, and confident when it matters most.

This episode is for anyone questioning their relationship with alcohol, feeling stuck in old patterns, or quietly wondering if there’s a different way to live — one that feels more aligned, more present, and more free.

A conversation about courage, awareness, and choosing yourself — one honest moment at a time.
