What do you do when life isn’t moving as quickly as you’d hoped? When progress feels slow, self-doubt creeps in, and you’re not sure if you’re getting anywhere at all?

In this episode, I sit down with bestselling children’s author Abi Elphinstone to talk about resilience, rejection, creativity, ambition, and what it really means to keep showing up for the life you want. We explore the gap between where you are and where you want to be—and how to live well while you’re in it.

In this episode we discuss:

• How to respond when life isn’t going to plan
• Why rejection can be valuable feedback
• The power of curiosity and persistence
• Creating before consuming
• What success changes—and what it doesn’t

Thinking about a career change? Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to take the leap? In this episode of The Live More Experiment with @the_live_more_coach, I chat with Dr Kate Ella, a former NHS Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon who made the brave decision to leave her “dream career” and completely reinvent her life and work.

Dr Kate helps busy professionals and business owners restore energy, balance life, and feel truly well - not through extreme trends, but by focusing on the small, consistent habits that actually create results. Since this conversation, she has grown her Instagram from 40K to 115K by showing up authentically - one of the things we explore in this episode.

We discuss:

• What it really takes to make a radical career change
• How to quiet the noise of what you “should” do
• Why putting yourself first can transform your work, health, and life
• The messy, emotional, but rewarding reality of career transitions
• How micro-habits can create big professional and personal growth

Whether you’re considering a career pivot, trying to create more balance, or wanting to show up more fully in life and online, this episode will give you actionable insights and reassurance that transitions are messy - and that’s okay!
