    Ep 67 : Embracing the Pause: A Season Finale Reflection

    In this final episode of the season, I invite you into a moment of stillness. Pivots and Plot Twists has always been about connection, reflection, and the messiness of being human. And now, it's time for a pause. I explore what happens when we stop, breathe, and listen—not to fill the silence, but to honor it. I share my personal reflections on creating the podcast, the power of meaningful conversations, and the beauty of knowing when it’s time to rest. This is an episode about trusting the quiet, and letting it lead the way. Take a breath. Come home to yourself. We’ll be back soon—with more stories, more truth, and a deeper sense of purpose.

    Ep 63: Gratitude as a Lifeline: Finding Hope, Connection & Strength in Tough Times

    In this solo episode of Pivots and Plot Twists, I explore the power of gratitude—not as a fluffy feel-good concept, but as a real, grounded tool for emotional resilience and connection in hard times. Gratitude isn’t about pretending things are okay when they’re not. It’s about finding something—no matter how small—to hold onto when the world feels heavy. It’s about remembering that even the smallest acts of kindness can shift not only someone else’s day but also your own. I talk about why helping others is a form of healing, how gratitude can disrupt despair, and why we all hold more power to uplift than we sometimes realise. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure how to keep showing up—this episode is for you. Please like, subscribe, share and review our podcast - it means the world to us!

    Ep60: Purpose Isn’t a Unicorn (and You’re Not Behind) with Tamsyn Allington

    In this solo episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all the time in coaching sessions and conversations with clients: purpose. We’ve been fed this idea that purpose is some huge, life-altering thing—you either find it or you don’t. But I believe purpose isn’t a unicorn. It’s not rare, mystical, or reserved for a chosen few. And you’re not behind if you haven’t had some lightning bolt moment. I’ll share my take on what it actually means to be purpose-driven, how to find alignment in your life without burning it all down, and why listening to the whispers before they become screams can change everything. If you’ve been questioning what’s next or wondering if you’ve missed your shot, this is the reminder you didn’t know you needed: you’re doing better than you think.

Kasia's Bio: I am here to support people to RE-DISCOVER, CONNECT WITH & EMBODY the authentic version of themselves, so that they can live aligned life and create a ripple effect of positive transformation. In 2021 I came across Human Design that has changed my life. So much so, that I decided to share with others. I passionately believe in the power of Human Design in supporting us on the journey to our-most authentic-selves and giving us a permission-slip to BE truly ourselves. I find that experimenting with Human Design helps people to tune inwards and to: • recognise the innate gifts & talents • take the power back by listening to the inner authority to make decisions • follow the breadcrumbs to create an aligned and purposeful life that they desire In addition to Human Design, I am a Silent Counselling Practitioner. It is a form of Rapid Energy Release, and it has many amazing applications. In my practice, I use it to help clients to move through fear and un-resourceful beliefs that stop them from stepping into their full, authentic version of themselves. And the great thing is that we don't need to talk about it at all! We use muscle testing, meridian points and breathing technique - all rooted in the body's wisdom to release any stuck energy to help with transformation. We discuss: Exploring Human Design Power of understanding human design Rediscovering your true self Unlocking potential Finding out who you actually are and discovering that Finding out what brings you joy We have this internal guiding system in our body Burnout Connecting mind and body Showing up authentically Please like, subscribe, share and review our podcast - it means the world to us!

    Welcome to Season 2 of Pivots and Plot Twists. This season is all about TRAILBLAZERS and I have invited people who I believe are true trailblazers in their own career, life and journey.

Recruitment and training managers is her specialized subject and after almost 20 years of it, Abi’s industry network is second to none. Sixty Eight People was born out of a frustration that the recruitment industry was obsessed with profit not purpose, so her story of changing perceptions is certainly an interesting one.
