Ep 88: Finding your truth and embracing your calling - with Jessica Huie

Hello lovely,

It’s Selina here today and I have the most delicious and magical interview for you. I was lucky enough to spend time with Jessica Huie MBE, author of Purpose - find your truth and embrace your calling, published by Hay House. 

I read the book a few months back and it blew me away. I wouldn’t say it was a book so much as a transformational experience. I recommend buying the book AND the audiobook so that you can hear Jessica tell her story in her own voice. It’s mesmerising. 

If you’ve never come across Jessica before then I’m so delighted to be able to introduce you to her. Her story is awe inspiring. Today she is an entrepreneur who was awarded an MBE, by the Queen, in 2014 for her contributions to entrepreneurship and a positive influence on the community. 

That in itself is impressive, but even more so when you find out that at 15 she was expelled from school with 4 GCSEs and at seventeen became a single mum living alone in a council flat. 

From there she rose up and ended up enjoying a glittering career as a journalist and publicist and has worked with some of the world’s biggest stars and business people.

Then in 2006 she launched Color Blind Cards, a multi-award winning multicultural greeting card company which drove an early conversation around the importance of ethnic representation in retail and became the first independent brand to secure a high-street presence for black cards in the UK.

Nowadays she is found busy writing and running workshops and retreats from London to Jamaica. Workshops and retreats which must be every bit as magical as her.

So I hope you enjoy this episode as much I enjoyed recording it.  

I gushed so much at the start of the recording about how amazing I thought the book was that it brought Jessica to tears! I hope you are moved by it too.

 X Selina

EP 80: Codependency and living Lovingly Fierce with Jo Westwood

🎧 You can also listen to this and all of our other podcasts on iTunes), Spotify or wherever you enjoy listening to your podcasts

Hello! 👋 Vicki here, with a brand new episode for you 🤗

This week I had the pleasure of speaking to Jo Westwood all about the topic of codependency and what it means to live Lovingly Fierce. 

And wow, what an interesting conversation it was!

Jo is a life coach and author, who is known for her straightforward, down to earth approach in helping you to improve your life. And she specialises in helping women to escape from codependency, reclaim their lives with confidence and live Lovingly Fierce.

In this episode, we explore what codependency is and how it can show up in our relationships (from our friendships and work relationships to our family and romantic relationships), how it impacts us and what a recovery journey can look like. This is such an important topic and one that I don’t think is being talked about enough.

I learnt so much from Jo through this conversation and it’s certainly one I would like to keep talking about in future episodes. If this conversation resonated with you and if you’d like to go deeper into this topic then Jo has very kindly shared some resources that can support you.

Here they are below:

• Should I Stay or Should I Go by Dr. Ramani Durvasula PhD | LINK

• Codependents Anonymous "Big Book" (to note - this one supports the organisation of Codependents Anonymous and is much cheaper than Amazon) | LINK

• Sweet Relief from the Everyday Narcissist by Melissa Schenker and Tina Moody | LINK

• Facing Codependence by Pia Mellody | LINK

• Codependents Anonymous UK Meetings | LINK

• Jo's 'Lovingly Fierce' Online Course (with Project Love discount of £25 off using code: lfpodcastlistener) | LINK

EP 76: Real love story interview with Alexandra Gill

Hello! Vicki here, with a gorgeous podcast episode for you 🤗

Today’s episode is a real love story interview with Alexandra Gill, who reflects on her journey of going from someone who was single for her whole adult life (in her words) and thinking that a relationship just wasn’t going to happen for her, to going through the journey of getting ready for love and marrying her best friend (her wedding was just last month).

This is such a special story, I was moved to tears on a number of occasions because I know the courage that it takes to open your heart, to trust and to commit to love. Particularly when you have lost faith in love, which is where Alex was back in 2016.

This is a story of love, hope and courage and I can’t wait for you to listen to it 💕

You can have a listen to the episode above or over on Apple Podcast or Spotify.

And if are interested in going on your own journey of getting ready for love then I’m so happy to announce that I have just opened up the doors to new love coaching clients for the Autumn season and I have a handful of spots for you to work with me 1:1.

The Get Ready for Love coaching programme is my absolute heart and soul and it would be an honour to work with you if you’re feeling the call. If you are and you’re ready for the journey of transformation then I would love to hear from you.

Simply head over here for all of the details and how to get in touch.

I hope you enjoy the podcast!

Love, Vicki xx
