In this weeks solo episode I talk about all that I have been up to recently,

Bringing the work of The Connection Compass to Life and moving forwards with the Human Led Impact Project

I talk about leaving the old behind and not allowing fear, doubts and the inner critic to get in the way but to take action anyway, regardless.

I talk about my thoughts and emotions of how long it took for the work to come together, ranging from excitement to feeling emotional and anger

And how the final piece of the jigsaw came into being to provide a sense of clarity and knowing what to do

I also talk about building a deep sense of trust and faith in myself

Hello and Welcome back to the Connection Compass Podcast.

Today I wanted share some thoughts about what it means to truly honour ourselves as human beings.

In June I am launching my first private podcast series The Human Reset, a 10 episode container for you to listen to, reflect, take part in ground practices for you to use in life, love and work. To find out more, be notified as soon as it goes live sign up to the link in the show notes

It's the beginning of a movement I am growing, advocating and focusing on a human first approach in all we do, where we remember that who we are matters just as much as what we do.

In this episode, I talk about listening to the quieter inner voice, making space for growth and mistakes, learning to sit with discomfort, and finding peace in being more at home within ourselves. An episode about compassion, possibility, and remembering that we only get one life to explore, experience, and enjoy.

For information on The Human Reset Private Podcast

In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing what I've been up to, what I’ve been creating, what I’ve been questioning, and what’s been shifting beneath the surface.

I reflect on my recent conversation with Marina Lorenzato around dating, self-worth, and relationships, and how that episode stayed with me longer than I expected. It opened up some deeper thoughts around emotional protection, vulnerability, and what it actually means to feel safe with a partner/potential partner .

I also talk about revisiting a novel I wrote back in 2017, and how reconnecting with that version of myself reminded me that sometimes we’re quietly building things years before we’re ready to bring them to life.

And finally, I explore something that’s been on my mind lately, in a world that’s becoming more automated and AI-driven, what does it really mean to stay human, especially when it comes to connection, dating, and relationships?
