From Olympic Failure to Purpose: Jo Warwick On Human Design, Trauma, And Effortless Success | EP 105

What if the “failure” you’re still trying to outrun was actually training you for your real purpose?

In this episode, Jo Warwick shares how an Olympic-level equestrian path, a life-altering accident, and deep trauma work reshaped her definition of success — and ultimately led her to a more powerful, sustainable way of living and leading.

Rather than abandoning excellence, Jo explains how redefining it allowed her performance to finally give back. We explore how hidden survival patterns quietly cap growth, why effort alone eventually backfires, and what happens when alignment replaces force.

Jo brings rare clarity to Human Design, breaking down generators, manifesting generators, projectors, manifestors, and reflectors in practical, real-world language. As a 4/6 projector, she explains why seeing systems — not pushing output — became her greatest advantage, and why copying someone else’s cadence is one of the fastest paths to burnout.

At the heart of the conversation is Jo’s Mountain Model:
many high achievers climb out of trauma only to stall mid-mountain, where old “glitch patterns” quietly drain momentum. Jo’s Precision Success Method helps identify the exact energy leak, resolve value conflicts, and let your design lead — creating growth that feels clean, visible, and sustainable.

We also talk:

• Burnout and high performance
• Trauma, nervous system safety, and energy management
• Money stories and fear of visibility
• Why “it is safe to be me” is a performance strategy, not a mantra
• How aligned strategy transforms business, relationships, and self-worth

If you’re done with hustle-driven success and ready for precision, clarity, and integrity at your next edge, this conversation will meet you there.

Listen, take what lands, test it in your own world — and if it lights you up, back it fully.

Anxiety Isn’t A Flaw — It’s A Nervous System Signal w/ Keith Hagar EP 204

What if anxiety isn’t something broken in your mind, but a signal from your nervous system asking for care?

In this episode, Keith — founder of Holistic Brotherhood — joins us to explore how men can move from burnout, numbness, and constant “red alert” into grounded strength and real connection by working with the body, not against it.

Keith shares his own turning point: selling almost everything at 24, leaving England, and walking away from drugs and alcohol. That decision didn’t remove his pain — it exposed it. Through years of coaching, therapy, breathwork, and somatic practices, he discovered how a dysregulated nervous system drives anxious thoughts, compulsive behaviour, and shame — and how regulation brings clarity, choice, and calm.

We talk about:

• Why anxiety often starts in the body, not the mind
• How unresolved childhood stress shapes adult coping
• Simple tools to shift out of “red,” including box breathing and cold exposure
• The limits of traditional fitness and why nervous system literacy matters
• The barriers men face around emotion, anger, and vulnerability
• How brotherhood and men’s circles create healing through being seen — not fixed

This is a grounded, practical conversation about learning to feel safe again in your body, letting go of the “tough it out” myth, and building strength without armour.

If you’re feeling stuck on red, try three minutes of box breathing today and notice what shifts. Share this episode with someone who needs it, subscribe for more grounded conversations, and leave a review to help others find their way back to calm and connection.

You’re not alone — reaching out is a strength.

Seeing Words: How Visual Thinking Unlocks Literacy w/ Olive Hickmott EP 203

What if reading finally clicked the moment a child learned to see words, not just sound them out?

In this episode, we sit down with forensic health and learning coach Olive Hickmott to explore how visual thinking can transform literacy for dyslexic and ADHD learners—and why this simple shift has the power to change an entire school’s culture.

Olive shares the observation that sparked her work: fluent spellers tend to look up and visualise words, while struggling spellers often look down into emotion. From that insight grew a practical, inclusive approach grounded in the brain’s visual word form area—the place where how a word looks, sounds, and means come together.

Together, we unpack why English is a highly visual language, especially with homophones and rule-breakers, and how pairing images with whole words can accelerate reading, spelling, and even handwriting. Olive is clear: this approach complements phonics rather than replaces it, offering realistic, step-by-step strategies parents and teachers can use right away—eyes-up cues, meaning-anchored word cards, and classroom scripts that fit into busy school days.

We also discuss ADHD, mental imagery overload, the creative strengths of neurodiverse thinkers, and how early years settings can gently “load” words before stress and self-doubt set in. Olive shares success stories from schools across Ireland and Wales, emerging research, and a blueprint for whole-school pilots.

This is a powerful reframe—from “What’s wrong with the child?” to “What else can we teach?” Expect practical tools, honest reflections, and a hopeful vision of learners lighting up as they realise they can do what once felt impossible.

If you care about literacy, inclusion, and giving every child a fair shot, this episode is for you.

From Diet Myths to Real Food: How Women Can Fuel Their Bodies Without Restriction w/ Meagan Murtonen EP 202

Forget the diet noise.

In this episode, we sit down with holistic nutritionist and founder of That Girl Nourished, Meagan Murtonen, to unpack what actually fuels a strong, energised body—especially for women who are tired of chasing size goals and starting over every Monday.

Meagan shares her unconventional journey from the wedding industry to mindset coaching to nutrition, and why treating food as fuel—not something to restrict—changes everything. We dive into the difference between whole foods and ultra-processed “health” lookalikes, why real spices and quality fats matter, and how sugar quality and food pairing impact blood sugar, sleep, and cravings.

You’ll also learn why women’s 28-day hormone cycle means our nutritional needs differ from men’s daily rhythm, and how adequate protein, fat, and fibre support healthier hormone signalling, reduced inflammation, and better mood.

Meagan breaks down a realistic daily blueprint—around 130g of protein, at least 25g of fibre, and broad micronutrient coverage—using simple, satisfying meals like breakfast burritos, bone broth soups, Greek yogurt with high-protein granola, and chocolate chia pudding that tastes like dessert while delivering omega-3s and minerals.

We also challenge common nutrition fads like keto, carnivore, and BMI obsession, while offering practical swaps that stabilise energy and reduce decision fatigue.

If you’re ready to fuel like a human—not a headline—this episode is for you.
