I discovered optimism after believing I was destined for failure and exclusion.When I got sick, I was forced into entrepreneurship and despite the little issue of illness, it was the best thing that happened to me.

How Women Can Create A Happy Life After Divorce You are going to love my guest today. In a world of smoke and mirrors she is a great example of how to be you, and be happy. If you network or are on social media it can seem as though everyone else is having the most wonderful time. This lady had the guts to say, “Well I’m not. At least I wasn’t. Here is why, and this is what I did about it”. Actually she didn’t say those exact words, they are mine but work with me. She had the life that so many girls and women dream of. She married the man with the money, the home, the clothes, and the stuff. And then one day it was gone. If you have heard me speak you know how much I bang on about female financial independence. And when things are going wonderfully, ladies look at me as the queen of doom. It is not about leaving relationships. Female independence happens inside and outside of them. The problem is those that do experience separation are often ill-prepared and suffer worse financially than they need to. My guest today faced it head on and started life again on her terms. Plus she is teaching others how they can do it too. [spp-player] Project GLOW is her vehicle to show how to achieve Self-Love and Self-Belief amongst other things. She gives you the practical, not just theory. I am really looking forward to sharing this lady’s story with you.

  It is the dream of thousands, if not millions of young men, (and women) to be good enough to be chosen to play for a national football team. Paul Webb was one that was chosen. Then after a series of bad luck, his professional football career was cut short and he was left with no idea of what he life now meant. He had only ever dreamed of playing football. In this interview he gives you some great insights into how things can be so much better if you just know where to look. Paul is a wonderful blend of strength and determination but he's got a vulnerable side that he is not afraid to expose. Plus if it helps others to better themselves even better.

He's embraced change and reinvention, ever since injury caused the end of his professional football career. A lifelong student first, Paul has coach many thousands of people in health strength wellness mindset and performance. He mentors both face to face and online. He has also built many different businesses along the way. The concept of Paul's teachings, are not that you need to look externally for that one elusive tactic or hack that's going to make all the difference. But how to look internally and remove the reasons that you aren't living the life you desire. As a species Paul says we have used stories for our protection and survival forever. Unfortunately most of the stories we listen to subconsciously on a day to day basis don’t service, but actually indeed hinder our progress. For me, I find he has a way of making you feel you can lean on him. He is not just mentally fit, but physically got it going on. Please welcome my super fit friend, and today’s Thought Leader Paul Webb. You will also hear What it was like to one minute be professional footballer and then to not be wanted.

How his future wife, who was told she would unable to have children, went on to have two, after he helped her identify and manage her hormonal issues The reasons that led to his eventual breakdown The steps he took to reshape every part of his life and how he helps other business people and entrepreneurs to do the same.
