Emma Dabiri, author, academic and broadcaster, rounds out the final guest episode of Listen Loudly.

We talk about our mutual experiences as adolescents in Ireland, the separation of mind and body, the love affair she has with swimming in the sea, and her relationship to deep rest.

Candice Brathwaite is an absolute force to be reckoned and utterly brilliant in every way! If you’ve not read her books you will have cackled at her podcast Closet Confessions, or gazed for hours at her endless style and big sister chats on instagram. Her early career was centred around being likable and fitting a mould, until a very public trolling scandal made her reassess how she would show up moving forward - the less she focused on being liked, the more she realised how much she had been hiding her true self. Even after years of success, she is just now exiting her season of doubt.

Tune into episode 7 of Listen Loudly to hear my conversation with podcaster, presenter, author, and all-round baddie Candice Brathwaite. Prepare to laugh, cry and take ALL the notes - the lessons flow non-stop, you’ll have to pause, rewind, note-take and keep it moving!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How following her gut has paid off for Candice (05:37)
• Why you can’t let the internet rush you (09:54)
• How Candice dealt with online trolling from a popular mommy blogger (12:36)
• The importance of recommitting to exercise (32:34)

The root and messaging of, not belonging, can take a swift hold on us -  messaging from others/society becomes internalised and part of who we perceive ourselves to be in the world.  It took some time for Chelsea to feel a sense of belonging in the yoga world, but as she redefined who she was in the space, along with her teaching, she kicked open doors for others.  Chelsea believes this can expand into uniting communities.

Tune into episode 5 of Listen Loudly to hear my conversation with my friend and fellow Peloton yoga instructor Dr. Chelsea Jackson Roberts.  Chelsea leans into the basics in her teaching to build solid foundations and a reconnection to self.  She is highly regarded as a leader in a new generation of yogis who are striving to expand the idea of who is traditionally thought of as a teacher.

Today, you’ll hear about Chelsea’s journey from elementary school teacher to world renowned yoga instructor. Tune in and hear how her university experience instilled a sense of leadership in her, why she believes in meeting people where they are at, and how her experience with yoga finally made her feel grounded, present, and at ease.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Chelsea originally felt that yoga was inaccessible to her (03:19)
• Chelsea’s comfort with yoga didn’t come overnight (07:14)
• The loss of her best friend completely changed Chelsea’s relationship to yoga (08:00)
• Yoga can be an excellent way to keep your personal battery charged (13:34)

Tune into episode 2 of Listen Loudly and meet my very first guest, endurance runner and fellow Peloton instructor Susie Chan. 

Susie is an incredible athlete who got into sport in her 30s and most recently competed one of the toughest races on earth. Susie’s down to earth nature, matched with her laser focus, when it comes to doing hard things, really lays out a roadmap of how we can approach challenges, no matter their size. 

Today, you’ll hear the moment that Susie listened loudly to herself and in doing so, changed her life forever; how she overcame her fear of public speaking that impacted her for a decade; and how the feeling you get in a 1 mile race or a 100 mile race, teaches us the same thing!
