🎙️Journeys to Wellbeing: Episode 20

“What is the thing that you've done in the last couple of years that has had the biggest return on investment for you?”In this episode of Journeys to Wellbeing, I’m joined by Rachael Shorten, a life and wellness coach who supports people in finding clarity, balance, confidence, and a deeper sense of agency — especially during times of change.Rachael, who is a mum of three and has a busy career in financial services, shares her own journey to discovering the transformational power of coaching as a space for reflection, growth, and meaningful change. Together, we explore what coaching really is (and what it isn’t), how mindset shapes the way we experience life, and the small steps that can help us move forward when we feel stuck.🌿 We Talk About:🌿 Rachael’s path into coaching — and the moment she knew she was “home”🌿 The mindset shift that changes everything: clarity comes from action🌿 Common themes clients bring to coaching, including people-pleasing and burnout🌿 Boundaries, self-responsibility, and reclaiming your time and energy🌿 Practical wellbeing foundations: sleep, movement, and flexible routines🌿 The power of self-talk, and how thoughts shape feelings and behaviour🌿 Coaching as a supportive space to reconnect with yourself, your values, and what matters most🌿 Rachael’s interest in training as a breathwork facilitator and the mind–body connection🌿 Why investing in yourself often gives the highest return on investmentRachael brings a grounded, compassionate approach to coaching and shares powerful insights around moving from fixed thinking into possibility — reminding us that we don’t need the full plan in order to begin. Often, the smallest step is the one that changes everything.She also shares how her own wellbeing practices — especially sleep, exercise, gratitude, and flexibility — help her stay resourced and present, both for her clients and her family.🔗 Connect with RachaelInstagram: @rachaelshortenlifecoach🎧 Listen & WatchWatch video version on Patreon  or listen on podcast platforms, Apple & Spotify🌐 Connect with MeLearn more about my work, events, and offerings at www.eilisogrady.ieFollow me on Instagram @eilisogrady for mindfulness, yoga, and coaching inspiration.💞 Support the PodcastIf you enjoy these conversations, please subscribe, share, and leave a review — it helps more people discover these Journeys to Wellbeing. 💫Join my Patreon community for exclusive mindfulness practices, yoga classes, journaling prompts, podcast videos, discounts on coaching and courses and other content to support your health and wellbeing.👉 www.patreon.com/eilisogrady❤️ The content in this podcast is shared for general information and inspiration only.
