Kimberly and I talk about her journey from a childhood spent in her nonna's Italian kitchen garden in Melbourne, to an accidental career as a private chef in the Alps, to building a business dedicated to helping women understand the deep, beautiful link between food, joy, and hormonal health.

In this episode

• Kimberly's story: growing up surrounded by food in an Italian household, and the winding path from naturopathy to private cheffing to hormone health
• Why food has always been Kimberly's "home for joy" — and how it can be yours too
• What "whole food" really means, and why we've overcomplicated something so simple
• A crash course in naturopathy — treating the whole body as an interconnected system, not a set of separate symptoms
• Why so many women fear food, and how to rebuild a relationship with eating that feels like pleasure instead of punishment
• Raising kids who aren't picky eaters — Kimberly's approach to feeding her own family whole, unprocessed food
• The hormone hierarchy: how insulin and cortisol quietly run the show for estrogen and progesterone
• Why your first and second cycle halves need completely different plates (and what to eat when)
• How to eat with your hormones in mind even if you're not currently cycling — using the moon as your guide
• Brain fog, big decisions, and why perimenopause hits women at the exact moment life demands the most from them
• Inside the Naturally app — how it takes the guesswork out of eating for your hormones, day by day
• Why women are so wildly different from men, biologically — and why that's something to celebrate, not fight against

Kimberly's mission, in her own words: every woman should be able to advocate for herself and make empowered, informed decisions about her hormones  but she can't do that without the education most of us were never given.

In this episode:

Sue first connected with Ali's meditations back in 2020, during the depths of the pandemic, when she was living in Cheltenham but separated from her family in North Manchester. She talks honestly about what it was like when work and home collapsed into the same four walls and how meditation, horse riding and running became her way of staying grounded.

In early 2021, Sue's family contracted COVID, and she lost her brother-in-law suddenly. Unable to be with her sister or attend the funeral because of lockdown restrictions, Sue found her way through by starting a gratitude journalling practice something she and Ali dig into together, with a nod to Brené Brown and Liz Gilbert along the way.

That loss became a turning point. Sue left her permanent corporate role and trained as a performance coach, eventually building a private client base alongside part-time corporate work.

2024 brought a run of good things training for SEMA, a tenth wedding anniversary trip, and a solo wellness retreat in Formentera, Ibiza. It also brought an unexpected discovery: a concerning finding during a mammogram follow-up while she was away, which led to biopsies and, in October 2024, a diagnosis of early-stage but aggressive breast cancer.

Sue takes us through the eighteen months that followed; starting chemotherapy just over two weeks after diagnosis, the emotional and logistical weight of treatment, and how she kept herself steady by honouring her emotions rather than pushing them down, and by staying grateful for the small things: being able to move, being able to eat, being surrounded by people who showed up for her.

Treatment concluded this May. Sue is now taking the summer to consider what's next but she knows project management isn't part of it, but coaching and a search for what genuinely brings her joy are.

Sue's closing message: don't wait for the "right time" to pursue what makes you happy.

They talk about the year Sally moved to France with a six month old, the loneliness she didn't see coming, and the decision to move back to the UK, one she once saw as failure and now recognises as one of the first times she truly listened to herself. They talk about midwifery, about what it means to hold space for someone else's biggest transitions, and about the eighteen months Sally has spent putting herself back at the top of her own list.

Ali and Sally also get into the sandwich decades, the mental load of ageing parents alongside children who are technically grown but still need you, and what Ali now calls 'joy nesting' rather than empty nesting. 

Sally shares her Human Design, a line three five, the trial and error, the rebel who takes a framework and makes it her own. And she leaves listeners with two small, powerful practices, opening the front door each morning to let stagnant energy out and good energy in, and scheduling a two minute reset into your day.

What Kay has built from that loss is extraordinary. She trained as a yoga teacher in her sixties, taught women in probation, qigong, became a celebrant who has sat beside the dying and written the words spoken at their funerals. She talks in this episode about fear as a driver rather than an enemy, about grief taking the ground out from under you, and about a stranger in a taxi who once told her every new day is a blank piece of paper.

We talk about her five one Manifestor profile and what it means to work in bursts rather than constantly. About amateur dramatics at nearly seventy and the buzz of doing the thing that terrifies you. And about her simple, powerful message for anyone listening. Notice beauty everywhere. Love generously. Live gently. Laugh often.

This is a conversation to come back to again and again.

The final part in Ali's three part series on dreaming again. 

This episode is a guided meditation, recorded a few years ago for Ali's Devoted mastermind, and returned to every year for the Lionsgate portal. Where the last two episodes were about the practical work, the telescope, the compass, head, heart, soul, self, this one hands it over to the heart. No thinking, no figuring it out, just opening up and letting the images, ideas and whispers come through in their own time.

Ali releases this on the 7th of August so it's ready for when the Lionsgate portal is it's most powerful on the 8th. The energy runs through to the New Moon in Leo on the 12th, so use it once, or come back to it every day through that window, whichever feels right.

You can do this lying down, sitting, walking, or resting. (Just not while driving.)

How to use it
Place a hand on your heart if that helps you drop in. Let go of trying to force a vision, this isn't about picturing what you've already planned, it's about letting your heart show you something new. If nothing comes during the meditation itself, don't worry, the ideas often land later. In the shower, on the walk home, right as you're falling asleep.

If dreaming again is where you're at, this is exactly the kind of work Ali leads members through inside the Joy Rebellion, all year round, not just under a Lionsgate portal. → THE JOY REBELLION

This week Ali talks about giving herself permission to dream again, especially at the point in life where so much of the original dream has already come true. She shares the process she uses to build a new dream from scratch, the telescope and the compass she walks every dream through before she acts on it: head, heart, soul, self. 

She also talks about her dad's 90th birthday, what he told her about happiness at ninety, and why she's letting herself get properly delusional about what comes next, ahead of the Lionsgate portal on the 8th of the 8th.

Journal Prompts: The Telescope and The Compass
Pull these out for your own journal this week. One question, one simple step, for each point.

The Telescope
Look down the telescope at your own life. If you could teleport into it exactly as you want it, what would you see? Write it without editing yourself. Pin on pinterest with delusion.

Head
What does your head think when you look at that vision? Write down the first thought, supportive or resistant, without judging it. What beliefs need rebelieving.

Heart
Sit with the vision until you feel something. Where in your body do you feel it? Name the feeling, don't explain it. Feel the fear and know you are going to do it anyway.

Soul
Ask yourself, and wait. What does my soul already know, what does it want to share with me, what do I need to forgive, let go and know I am worthy of receiving? Write down whatever comes, even if it's just a word.

Self
Based on everything above, what's one small action, not the whole plan, just the next honest step?

In this episode:

• Why so many women, especially women who are married, running businesses or raising children, spend their energy keeping the peace around them, only to end up at war within themselves
• Using Human Design to understand why conflict lands so hard for some of us (the undefined solar plexus, explained through the bubble analogy)
• The story: a scorching Friday drive home, a property handover crisis, a near collision with a lorry, and the flood of feeling that followed
• Code 1: comparison isn't always the thief of joy, sometimes it shows you exactly what you want more of
• Code 2: why asking for space before a hard conversation isn't avoidance, it's respect
• Code 3: confrontation only exists when you bring provocation to the table. Bring calm instead, and there's just conversation
• The sailor and the harbour: why coming to rest after high seas can feel harder than the storm itself, and why that's not a sign anything's wrong
• What happened when Ali and James finally had the conversation, and the bigger realisation waiting on the other side of it

Claire Louise has been part of the Joy Rebellion and Joy in HD™  over the past year, and her story is one of the most beautiful I have heard. A childhood spent feeling like she did not quite fit. A life that looked successful from the outside, the career, the marriage, the family, while something kept growing quietly disconnected underneath. And then a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis that became, in her words, her body's way of saying we cannot keep living like this.

We talk about her discovery of Human Design and the moment she finally understood her own 3/6 profile. About iridescence, the phenomenon where a cloud holds every colour all along and simply needs the light to shift to reveal it. That is the whole philosophy behind her work now, helping women see that they were never broken and never needed fixing. Just a different light.

We talk about trust without certainty. About clarity coming from movement, not from waiting until everything makes sense. And about her grandmother, rainbows, and the silver linings she has learned to find inside the hardest situations.

If you have ever felt like you have drifted from who you really are, this episode is for you.

She calls it the mindset ceiling. The idea that when we are trying to shift or elevate our identity, we cannot simply leap to the next level. We have to first restabilise the environment beneath us, because that environment is what creates the floor that lets us push beyond the ceiling we have unknowingly built for ourselves.

We talk about cycle nine and the rising of mature, wiser feminine energy. About the question underneath all of it, who am I without my business, without my success, without wife, without mother. And about trust. Jacoline's line, a bird does not trust the branch it sits on, it trusts its wings, is one I remember from my own days of remembering who I was in the darkness.

A beautiful, brief reminder that returning to yourself is not about becoming someone new. It is about trusting what is already there.

Trudi joins me from Australia to share a story about labels, about a lifetime spent wearing them, daughter, dancer, business owner, mother, and slowly discovering that underneath every one of them was simply her. We talk about her son Gibson, born early and unexpected after she and her husband had been told they would likely never conceive, and the journey of understanding neurodivergence that came alongside raising him.

We talk about being told her whole life that quiet and compliant was the safest way to be, and about finally deciding she no longer wants that. About discovering Human Design and what it means to be a two four, someone who only truly sees her own brilliance reflected back by the people around her. And about the moment last year when her body, quite literally, put her on her backside and forced her to stop.

That stop became kayaking. The kayaking became a shark. And the shark became the wake up call that led her back to herself, to her poetry, and to the beginning of Strump Art and Kids Without Labels, the platform she is now building to support other parents walking a similar path.

This is a conversation about asking for more, even when life already looks good. About filling your own well instead of pouring from an empty cup. And about rocking your own boat on purpose.

That walking group grew. And grew. Until it became Rant and Ramble, a movement of women across the country who gather to walk, to talk, to dance without a drink in hand, and to feel less alone.

We talk about the coffee raves that started with twenty people and grew to five hundred. About the retreats that began because Leesa needed somewhere to switch her own brain off. About the power of sound healing and reiki for a woman who walked in convinced it was nonsense. And about the incredible collaboration coming this July with Davina McCall and the Begin Again podcast.

This is a conversation about grief, about community, and about what happens when you turn your pain into something that helps thousands of other women feel that bit of joy.

I've just come back from the most incredible weekend at Manifest in Newcastle (Canny Crystals and Mart Tweedy's extraordinary event) and it sent me straight back to the story that became the foundation of everything I now teach about magic manifesting. The story of an Apple Watch. 

This episode is a mini masterclass. I'm giving you the complete five A formula, the one I've run as a Magic Manifesting Week multiple times, the one that has seen women in The Joy Rebellion manifest freedom funds, dream jobs, Caribbean trips, visibility they never thought possible, and daughters making football teams. It works. I also share the science that backs it up completely. The reticular activating system, Tara Swart's work on the mind, the Hawkins Scale of Consciousness. This isn't woo woo. This is how your brain actually works.

Come and get comfortable. This one's for you.

Favourite quotes from this episode

"When you get so fixated on the delivery being in a specific way at a certain time, it doesn't always work. But sometimes the universe can blow your fucking mind and it comes out of left field and gives it to you in a way you never expected."

"Our minds are our greatest asset. They can either fire you up or they can fuck you up. And you get to choose."

"Those who are certain of the outcome can wait and wait without anxiety." A Course in Miracles

"I don't have to sell anything. I just have to share my stories of my life. And that is the sell."

"It's like placing the order with Apple or Amazon. Place the order. And then hand it over."

The answer is always joy. Love always, Ali x

https://www.alimortimer.com/

And from that place she asks a question that changes everything: why would you want to regulate this emotion?

This is an episode about emotions and why feeling them fully, all of them, is not something to be managed or controlled but something to be honoured. About the midlife transition so many women are standing in right now. About what it really means when the children start to fly. About why Ali refuses to call it empty nesting and what she's calling it instead.

If you're in this season, approaching it, or supporting someone who is, this one is for you.

In This Episode

• The moment Tom walked out of school for the last time and what it stirred up in Ali
• Why "emotional regulation" is a phrase Ali takes issue with and what she thinks it costs us
• The dam analogy and what really happens when we suppress instead of feel
• Why Ali pulled over in a lay-by and what happened when she let it all come through
• Roller coasters versus teacups and which one Ali is always going to choose
• The bungee ski jump in Austria, the boys cheering at the bottom, and what fear really feels like when you walk straight into it
• Why Ali refuses the phrase "empty nest" and what she's renaming this chapter
• Joy Nesting. Bird launching. And why this era might be the most exciting one yet
• Fiji 1999, the dreams James and Ali cast on that beach, and what it means to have actually built them
• The question every woman in midlife needs to ask herself right now
• Why this is your time. Just On You.

Quotes From This Episode

"Why would you want to regulate that feeling? I have never felt so alive."

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving completely safe and preserved and pristine. We're going to be skidding up to those pearly gates, totally spent, totally exhilarated, going — holy fck, what a ride."*

"Nothing is wrong. Your feelings are finally getting their turn."

"We're not the people who go to the fairground and ride in the teacups. We're the people who run for the roller coaster."

"Joy Nesting. Because we have created a home with joy, and they will always come back to it."

My eldest son Tom finishes his final A level on Tuesday. Eighteen years old, the whole world in front of him, and a thousand possible paths to choose from. Uni, gap year, apprenticeship, something else entirely. How do we guide them without overriding them?

So this week on the Joy Broadcast, I'm doing something a little different. I'm pulling up Tom's Human Design chart in front of you and walking through, line by line, exactly how I'm using it to support him at this pivotal moment. His energy type as a Generator. His emotional authority. His G Centre. His 2/4 Profile. The three gates I'm watching most closely. The Triple Split that means he needs more space than most to make a decision.

I've had Tom's chart in front of me for five years now. It was first gifted to me by a coach back in 2021, and the closest way I can describe what reading it did for me was like looking into a mirror that had been really, really dirty and finally getting to clean it all off. That's what it does. It hands you back yourself. And once I'd had mine, I did Tom's, Will's and James's. We started using these charts almost like guidebooks for our boys, who are very, very different in how they live and how they make decisions. Honestly, I think every parent should be given one of these the moment they have a child.

The thing I want every parent to hear: The more we tell our children who they are, the harder it becomes for them to hear themselves.

So in this episode, I'm not telling Tom who he is. I'm using his chart to help him hear himself. And I'm walking you through exactly how to do the same for your child, whether they're standing at the school-leaver crossroads, navigating a friendship, choosing subjects, or simply trying to figure out who they are in the world.

What I'm doing differently with Tom right now: Stop asking them what they want to do with their life. Start asking them what would feel good right now. What feels frustrating. What feels yummy. What's being offered. What's being shown. That one shift, especially for Generator children, is how they will navigate unchartered waters.

My takeaway: Parenting isn't directing. It's recognising. Your child's design is already inside them, waiting to be seen. Human Design just helps you take the noise off so they can hear themselves, and so you can stop trying to mould them into a version that was never theirs. It's the permission slip for them to be themselves. And honestly, for us to let them.

My health,  your health does not have to be complicated. And the women I work with, the ones running businesses and homes and families and ageing parents, do not need another twelve step protocol. They need it simple. They need it doable. They need it to fit into a life that is already full.

So I am walking you through my Three E's. The framework I come back to again and again, for health now and longevity long term.

Eat for fuel. What you are actually doing in your day decides what you need on your plate. Whole foods, good protein, plenty of water. Not fancy. Not complicated. Just real.

Exercise. Walk daily. Move daily. Add weight bearing work for your bones, your strength, your future self. It does not have to be hours in a gym or running a marathon (unless that brings you joy!)

Easy does it. The hardest one for me. Stillness, sleep, joy moments, the breath work, the meditation, the protected pockets of quiet to ensure your cortisol drops, your digestion turns back on, and your brain does its night time clearing out, which I learned through my research into Alzheimer's is so much more important than most of us realise.

This episode is part personal share, part practical framework, part gentle nudge to put yourself back near the top of your own list.

About this episode

This week's episode is my keynote speach recorded as a dress rehearsal before I delivered it live at Grantley Hall, for the brilliant charity SmartWorks, who help women back into the workplace after a loss of confidence.

Ten years ago, I had no confidence at all. I'd separated from James, lost my mum, left my corporate career, and I had two small boys and no idea who I was without all the things that used to define me. No title. No team. No map. No salary. No mum to call.

I had to build my confidence back from nothing.

This episode is the recipe I found. The five ingredients — and the one thing that binds them all together.

In this episode I walk you through my five ingredients of confidence: inner strength, self-leadership, courage, truth, and power and the one binding ingredient: JOY. Just On You.

My favourite line of the whole episode: joy isn't the reward for getting confident. Joy is the practice that makes confidence inevitable.

About this episode

I have a real bee in my bonnet about the phrase "imposter syndrome."

I want it banished.

In 1978, two psychologists coined a term that gave generations of brilliant, boundary-pushing, ambitious women the worst possible name for the voice inside them. They called her an imposter. They told us to distrust her. Silence her. Override her.

She isn't an imposter.

She is fear. And fear, when you understand her, is one of the most important voices in the room.

In this episode I walk you through:

– Why "imposter syndrome" is the most dangerous label we've handed to high-achieving women

– The only two fears you were actually born with (and what that means for every other fear running your life)

– Your Fear Gates in Human Design — what they are, where they live, and why knowing yours changes everything

– How to invite your fear friends in for coffee instead of trying to kick them out

– Why fear is evidence that what you're doing actually matters

About this episode

This might be one of the most important conversations Ali has ever brought to The Joy Broadcast. It's the work she returns to with every Brilliance client. It's the work she returns to with herself, every morning, before her feet hit the floor.

Your values.

Not the easy answer of "integrity and honesty". The real ones. The ones you can rattle off when someone asks who you are. The ones that become your path, your conviction, your courage, your antidote.

Because as Ali says: when you know who you are, you can stand tall when the poison arrows come. You don't need to zip yourself up in an energetic sleeping bag. You don't need to be the eggshell, terrified of cracking. You get to be the peach, soft on the outside, with a kernel so strong the world can't break it.

What's inside this episode

A genuine, behind-the-scenes share, Ali reading from her own journal, walking you through:

• Why values matter more than your job title, your achievements, or your CV
• The peach vs. the egg: how values become inner strength rather than outer armour
• Why values are the better, freer alternative to boundaries
• How values become the antidote when someone tries to define you, attack you, or shrink you
• The exercise: blank sheet, brain dump, cluster, distil. Finding the one word that carries it all
• Ali's own six core values and what each one really means to her: Genuine, Generosity, Gratitude, Grit, Growth, Grace
• Why she added Grace as a sixth value at the end of 2024: softening, surrender, dignified strength
• How to use your values as a lens on your big goals. The journal exercise Ali did when she declared she wanted to make a lot of money, have a lot of fun, and help a lot of people, and had to clean up every place that desire collided with who she is

A line worth holding onto

"My values are the path I walk every day. I don't need boundaries, because I know who I am, and I know the path I'm walking."

Your invitation

If something in this stirred you, triggered you, activated you, that's the friction worth listening to. Go and do the work. Get the blank sheet. Write everything down. Cluster. Distil. Define. And then live them.

The first is what I've started calling the shit and the diamonds — the recognition that life rarely hands you triumph in every area at once. Your career might be hitting milestones while your home life is heavy. Your relationship might be thriving while work is falling apart. The trick isn't to pretend the hard stuff isn't there. It's to stop letting it smother the good stuff. The woman in you holds the emotional work. The CEO in you leads the diamonds. Two hands. Don't clap them together.

The second tool is one I've been teaching for years and had a fresh personal breakthrough with this week — the Russian Doll effect. I don't believe in finding yourself or becoming her. I believe every version of you you've ever been is still valid, still wise, still part of who you are now. But sometimes, after a betrayal or a trauma, we leave a doll behind. We abandon a version of ourselves we decided wasn't safe to be anymore. This week I went back for two of mine, the trusting woman I left in 2016, and the financially independent corporate professional I left in 2014, and the relief of putting them back inside me is what this episode is really about.

This is deeper work than usual. Take it as an invitation.

Favourite Quote:

"It's like you've got a pile of shit in one hand and a bag of diamonds in the other. Don't clap your hands together.""I don't believe in finding yourself. I believe in remembering yourself.""Every version of you is valid."

This week on The Joy Broadcast, I'm joined by the wonderful Dahlia Stroud, someone I haven't seen for the best part of 15 years, since our Asda House days in Leeds. Dahlia went from Head of Commercial with a full diary and a ringing phone to "here one day, gone the next" overnight. And out of that lost-purpose, all-dressed-up-with-nowhere-to-go season, she built Stressed But Well Dressed, a podcast (and a philosophy) about the link between clothes, confidence, and mindset.

This one is for every woman who has ever asked herself, who am I now?  and every woman who already knows that what she puts on in the morning is never really just about the outfit.

Favourite moments

"I was all dressed up with nowhere to go." — Dahlia, on the season that birthed the podcast"Joy isn't fluff, it's fucking physics.""The opposite of happiness isn't sadness — it's hopelessness.""Dress for the best-case opportunity that could absolutely happen." — Dahlia"Well-dressed is a state of mind, not a fashion statement." — Dahlia

Becky Harrison is an interior designer, psychology graduate, and Joy Rebellion member who brings a beautifully grounded, science-meets-soul approach to how we live in our homes. After 16 years in corporate project management — where her love for buildings quietly grew — she made the leap into design. Now she helps families create homes that don't just look good, but feel good. And she's doing it right now from inside her own renovation project, which makes this conversation all the more real.

We talk colour, obviously. But we also go much deeper: into fear, judgment, Feng Shui, the psychology of clutter, and why the first question Becky asks a client has nothing to do with their favourite shade.

Becky's quick-win tips you can use right now:

Create a joy corner — a dedicated spot in your home with the things that bring you joy close at hand: candles, crystals, books, whatever's yours. Having it set up means you can access joy quickly without hunting for it.

Build happy views — little vignettes at your desk or at the table. A piece of artwork, some flowers, something that catches your eye and delivers a small shot of dopamine while you work.

Bring in pops of colour through nature — daffodils on the windowsill, a yellow vase, an orange throw. Small changes to the colour in a room lift the energy, which lifts your mood.

Becky works primarily across the south west of England but will travel for the right project. If you want to embrace colour in your home, she's your person.

The Joy Broadcast is hosted by Ali Mortimer - Joy coach, Private Life Confidante, Human Design guide, author, and founder of The Joy Rebellion.

https://www.alimortimer.com/

This conversation is joyful, practical, and deeply moving. We talk about the power of your home to support your life, your business, and your healing, and how making small, intentional changes to your space can create profound shifts in everything from your visibility to your nervous system.

What We Cover

🍋 Why nine lemons? The story behind the name, from the power of the number nine in Feng Shui (we're in Cycle Nine!) and a secret nod to Real Housewives, to the Susan Jeffers "nine grid" and why a full life is the ultimate insurance policy.

🗺️ The Bagua Map explained. The nine areas of your life mapped to your home: knowledge, career, helpful people, family, health, children and creativity, wealth, fame and reputation, and love. Steph walks us through how she reads a floor plan and what she can tell about someone's life just from where the bathrooms are.

📈 How Steph went from 3,000 to 30,000 followers in three months by intentionally activating the fame, visibility and recognition area of her home, cleaning the windows, replacing dull bulbs, placing a plant, and setting clear, specific intentions.

🌿 The power of intention setting. Why Feng Shui is not just putting lemons on a bench. How to speak to your home, talk to your plants, and use the nine areas as a 3D vision board for the life you want to create.

🏠 Your home holds energy. Steph shares her deeply personal story of losing her son, buying a house in grief, and eventually using Feng Shui to reclaim her space and move forward. This led to her brand new programme Reclaim Your Space, for anyone navigating a major life transition.

💼 The command position. Why where you sit at your desk matters more than you think, how cortisol levels drop when your back is against a wall, and why so many brilliant women are running seven-figure businesses from a corner of the spare room, shoved aside for a bed that gets used seven nights a year.

🌍 Finding peace when the world feels uncertain. Why your home is your greatest source of empowerment right now, and the small acts of care that bring you back to safety.

Steph's Offers

•  Let It Go — a 7-day container to release "past self anchors" (not just decluttering, but energetically letting go)
•  Reclaim Your Space — a brand new 4-week programme to shake the energy of your home through transition, grief, change, or a fresh start
•  The Energetic Advantage — a 6-month deep dive (next round opening May)

What We Cover

The rug pull. A decade ago, Vicks found herself cleaning toilets for a living, wondering how her comfortable, cottage-and-wood-burning-stove life had come undone. A marriage she thought was solid had quietly been heading elsewhere. When she found out, she did not wait. Scariest thing she had ever done. Most empowering thing she had ever done.

The rebuilding. Single parenting, cleaning jobs, a bakery run by a woman in her sixties who became an unlikely mentor, and eventually a role at Pig and Pastry in York

The sky stuff. Four solo skydiving jumps. Gliding lessons. A gyrocopter. All of it done alone, all of it in the period after her marriage ended. Her brain, she says, is quietest in freefall. Ali's theory: when you have already made the biggest leap of your life, throwing yourself out of a plane is just confirmation that you will always pull the chute.

The flowers. Vicks had always wanted to be a florist.  It took a marriage, a rebuild, and a bolt-upright moment in bed next to her new husband Mark to say: I am starting a wedding floristry business from this garage. He said yes, dear. 

The career that kept growing. From Friday flowers on a broken three-speed bike, Wonderland Blooms has grown into a full wedding floristry business. Vics has worked with florist-to-the-stars Paula Rooney in Vienna. She drove a van through Pisa on four hours' notice. She works alongside Kim at Dreambirds and Carousels on large-scale events. 

The loss. Vicks lost her mum recently. She talks about grief with the same directness she brings to everything else  it strips layers, she says. She has no time for imposter syndrome anymore. Life is for living.

The legacy. Vicks wants to write a book. A coffee table book, or something more, she is still deciding. She wants her children to know what those early Saturday mornings were for. 

Joy, says Vicks, is in the small significant things, not the big dramatic ones. Her favourite colour grounds her on a hard day. That is enough. That is everything.

In This Episode

• Why ‘regulation’ is the wrong word and why it matters
• Your nervous system: what it actually is, how it works, and why it’s prehistoric by design
• The sympathetic and parasympathetic states and why we need both
• The real reason so many high-performing women can’t lose weight (hint: it’s not what you’re eating)
• Your emotional system: the ocean inside you, and how the mind makes sense of it
• Why you can be emotionally intelligent and still absolutely exhausted
• Body first, then brain, the sequence that changes everything
• How to work out which system needs your attention right now

The Key Insight

Your nervous system is your physiology,  the body, the container. Your emotional system is your psychology, the ocean of feelings held within that container. Most women are working hard on one and bypassing the other entirely. And if your nervous system is stuck in a stress response, your prefrontal cortex has gone offline, which means all the therapy, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence in the world can’t land properly.

Body first. Then the brain. The container, then the ocean.

“We aren’t heating systems with knobs. We are oceans. And you cannot calm an entire ocean with a knob.”

The Key Ideas

• Joy is a verb. 'To joy' is to actively, deliberately choose yourself, your rest, your pleasure, your peace is the strategy. Not something you do after everything else. The thing you do first, or nothing else works properly.
• Frustration is a signal. As a Generator in Human Design, Ali knows that frustration is her not-self theme,  the signal that she is out of alignment with her own energy. A migraine is her body's loudest version of that message. When she honours it, everything flows. When she ignores it, everything costs twice as much.
• Slowing down is not falling behind. In choosing to rest, write for pleasure, meditate, and walk slowly, Ali ended the day having done more than she had planned and all of it felt like ease.
• Joy is chemistry. The Daily DOSE  (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, Endorphins)  is not a concept. It is a biological strategy. When you flood your body with these hormones through small, deliberate acts of joy, you change your internal chemistry. Ali has the OG joy list to prove it, a tiny scrap of paper she has kept since 2016.

This is the work that has given Ali the clarity to stand on stage, be visible, and receive both praise and criticism, all with an unshakeable sense of who she is.

What We Cover in This Episode

Why knowing your values changes everything When your inner world and outer world are aligned, living out of integrity with yourself becomes impossible. Ali shares how this work protected her in a pivotal moment and how it does the same for her clients every single day.

Values as your antidote When someone throws criticism, judgment, or hate your way, your values are the truth that makes their poison dissolve. Ali even uses them to identify why something is hurting, so she can let it go and move on.

Ali's own core values Grit. Grace. Gratitude. Growth. Genuine. Generosity. All beginning with G (because Ali loves alliteration and words are her love language). She walks you through how she arrived at each one, and why Grace was the newest addition and the one she still has to consciously remember.

The values discovery exercise — step by step

1. Grab a blank sheet of paper and write down everything you value in life. Fill the whole page. Don't edit yourself.
2. Ask yourself: When did I feel really, really good about myself? Why? Who was I being? What was I honouring?
3. Ask yourself: When did I feel really hurt or sad? What values were stepped on?
4. Start grouping your words — find the one word that holds all the others for you.
5. Make your list memorable. Alliteration, acronyms, whatever helps you know them off the top of your head.

Living the practice Over the next week, witness yourself. When you feel good, which values are you honouring? When you feel off, which ones have been stepped on? This is a practice, not a one-time exercise. Keep coming back to it.

This first episode of season two is a declaration. A relaunch. And a reminder of why joy isn't just a nice idea, it's chemistry, biology, and physics. It's the most powerful strategy you have.

Ali opens with a confession: she took a break. She burned things down (very 3/6 of her), sat in the embers, and asked herself what this next chapter of the Joy Broadcast really needed to be about. The answer? Power. Not the soft version of joy, but joy as your sharpest competitive edge.

What We Talk About in This Episode

The evolution of the Joy Broadcast Year one was about survival:  how to find joy when everything is falling apart. Year two is about something bigger: how to use joy as a strategy when everything is piling up and coming at you all at once. Same answer, different era.

Joy is not fluffy. Joy is science. Ali breaks down why joy operates across three branches of science  and why that completely changes how you should think about it

• Chemistry: Joy changes what you're made of. 
• Biology: Joy changes how you function as a living system. 
• Physics: Joy changes your frequency. 

The Magician card While writing her keynote speech, Ali pulled a tarot card — and out jumped the Magician. The reminder she needed: you are the magic. And magic is always the same formula: power + skill + action. 

Fear as a messenger, not a shackle Fear comes up in client conversations every single week. Ali reframes it completely here: fear isn't your foe, it's your friend. It is one of your greatest guides.

In this milestone episode, Ali celebrates one year of The Joy Broadcast!  70 episodes and nearly 10,000 downloads since launching on 22nd February 2025. 

She takes us on a deeply personal journey through the story behind her work, from the darkest moment of lying in bed in 2016 asking "will I ever be happy again?" to choosing joy as a lifestyle in April 2023 when life delivered a terrifying wake-up call.

Ali shares the origin story of the Seven Harmony Principles, born on a sailing trip in Greece, and walks through each one in detail, revealing the framework that has guided her transformation over the last decade. 

She also makes a special birthday offer to her listeners: the complete Joy Codes training bundle for free in exchange for a review and share.

The Seven Harmony Principles

1. H — Hopes and Dreams (and Missions): Always have something to move towards. Hope stands for Hold On, Pain Ends.
2. A — Act in Spirit: Reconnect with your soul and intuition. Let your inner voice guide your daily decisions.
3. R — Resilience and Wholeheart Health: Be the peach, not the egg — strong to the core, not fragile on the outside.
4. M — Mind Mastery and Mindfulness: Your mind can either mess you up or fire you up. You get to choose. Peace of mind is the foundation of joy.
5. O — Own Your Truth: Speak what needs to be said. Living your truth sets you free.
6. N — Nurture Relationships: Starting with the most important one — the relationship with yourself. When you show others how to love you, they know how to.
7. Y — Your Co-Creation: Take full responsibility for what you can control and surrender the rest to the universe.

With love always

This February, we're exploring love beyond romance. In this special episode, I sit down with my sister Alex (affectionately known as Bambi or Bird) for an intimate conversation about sisterhood, meaningful connections, and the joy of just being yourself.

Fresh from our Maldives adventure celebrating my 50th birthday, we dive into questions about nostalgia, childhood memories, modern dating disasters, and what it means to truly switch off from responsibility.

IN THIS EPISODE:

On Nostalgia & Memory We explore what triggers our memories – from songs and smells to how differently we each process the past. I share how the anniversary of Mum's death affects me through snowdrops and Louis Armstrong, while my sister reveals she's more like Dad, able to leave the past in the past.

The Gift of Not Thinking About Anyone Else We discuss what made our Maldives trip so special: the rare luxury of focusing just on ourselves. No kids, no partners, no responsibility for anyone else's happiness – and why that's not selfish, it's essential.

The Wisdom of Empathy Alex shares her mantra shift from judgment to empathy – the story about ice creams on a winter school run that changed how she sees people's actions. We explore how we judge ourselves by our thoughts but others by their actions.

Childhood Memories & Growing Up From being mistaken for each other on phone calls to Dad, to childhood holidays where we didn't have to worry about anything, we reflect on how adulthood changes the way we experience time off.

JOY IS THE ACRONYM FOR JUST ON YOU

As I share in this episode, when you're holding so much – children, partnerships, work, household, pets, everything – your main job is to focus on your own energy. You have to spend time every single day focusing just on yourself so you can expand your capacity to hold everything else. Otherwise, you store up resentment, frustration, and exhaustion from over-giving.

This conversation is a reminder that the deepest connections allow you to just be yourself, say "I want to go to bed" on your 50th birthday at 10pm, and know there's no judgment. That's love too.

Drawing from conversations with Joy Rebellion members and her own experience of capsizing her life (and rebuilding it), Ali explores the tension between stability and growth, between contentment and that persistent inner voice saying "you're meant for more."

If you're feeling stuck in calm waters but restless for adventure or if you're in someone else's storm this episode is your permission slip.

What You'll Learn

• Why happiness requires movement (according to Arthur Brooks, the "King of Happiness")
• The difference between intentionally rocking your own boat versus responding to someone else rocking yours
• How to know when it's the right time to make waves (and when it's not)
• Ali's South of France childhood memory that perfectly captures the joy of rocking the boat
• The questions to ask yourself before making any big life change
• How to start rocking the boat gently without capsizing everything on day one

Memorable Quotes

"When you start to rock that boat, you're starting to make waves. And it's those waves that lead you to movement."

"Happiness to me is always the sense of movement of something better that's coming, something just around the corner."

"If you're playing it safe, how can you know where you're going to go? Safe to me is like hiding, it's staying small, it's staying where you are."

"You can't get to the next level without waves in whatever you want to do, wherever you want to go."

"The common thread in all of these is just to come back to you, just on you—your joy, your definitions, your truth, your knowing, your little voice and your boat."

Call to Action

Are you ready to rock the boat—or do you need permission to hold steady?

Ali would love to hear from you:

• Are you going to rock the boat?
• Are you stabilizing the boat?
• What are your worries or fears?

Back in 2015, when I walked away from my 20-year IT consulting career, I wrote down three simple lines: 

Success is loving what I do, loving who I do it with, and loving myself in the process. 

That definition carried me through a full decade of transformation—from body dysmorphia and not being able to look in the mirror, to building The Joy Rebellion and creating my dream life.

But recently, after returning from the Maldives for my 50th birthday, I realised something had shifted. I'd achieved everything in that definition... and now it felt incomplete.

This episode is about what happened when I revisited that success definition and discovered the missing piece: money. Not money as greed, but money as the ROOF protecting everything I've built. Money as the overflow that benefits my health, my family, and my clients. Money as strategy, not reward.

In this episode, you'll discover:

→ Why your old definition of success might be keeping you stuck (even if it once served you beautifully)

→ The three foundational blocks that must come FIRST before wealth can flow

→ How to add "AND" instead of replacing what already works

→ Why women especially hold shame and resistance around making "a fuck ton of money"

→ The power of safe spaces where we can talk about money without being shamed or cancelled

→ How to write YOUR success definition for who you are TODAY (not who you were five years ago)

→ Why joy and wealth aren't opposites, they're partners

This conversation sparked something powerful in The Joy Rebellion membership, and I knew it needed to reach more women. If you've ever felt conflicted about wanting more money, or if you've achieved "success" but still feel empty, this episode is for you.

Action Steps:

Your Joy 101 Assignment:

Grab your journal and write YOUR definition of success for who you are TODAY, in this era of your life.

Ask yourself:

• What does success mean to me RIGHT NOW (not five years ago)?
• What am I resisting that might be the missing piece?
• Where can I add "AND" instead of choosing between things I want?
• What would success feel like every single day?

Don't worry about what anyone else thinks. This is JUST ON YOU.

Join the Conversation:

If this episode ignited something in you—if you want to explore your money blocks, rewrite your success definition, or have these deep conversations with women who GET IT—I'd love to invite you into The Joy Rebellion.

This is the space where we hold each other, where you don't have to hold everyone else, and where joy becomes your strategy, not your reward.

What You'll Learn:

• Why discipline feels like punishment (and what to do instead)
• The one-word shift that doubled Ali's business income and tripled her reach
• How devotion transformed Ali's 30-year marriage and got her in the best shape of her life at 50

Key Quotes:

"Those three D's - discipline, determination, dedication - they sound like whips. And I don't like to be whipped."

"Devotion is love. To be devoted IS love. Devotion is a beautiful, loving, honorable energy rooted in passion, not punishment."

"You wouldn't lead your team with a whip. So why are you leading yourself that way?"

"When you're devoted to your joy, you don't burn out. You don't blow everything up. You don't lose yourself taking care of everyone else."

"I'm devoted to this one fucking life."

The Four Pillars of Joy:

1. Health of the body - Devotion to honoring what makes you feel alive and strong
2. Peace of the mind - Devotion to creating space for stillness and self-compassion

You find your "me for me" mentor.

This week, I'm sitting down with the woman behind the Joy brand - my mentor, my coach, the person who helped me turn a whisper of "I'm a joy coach" into a thriving, purpose-driven, six-figure business.

Meet Jana Kingsford: The Big Dreams Genie, creator of the Me Brand framework, author of eight books in three months (yes, really), and the mentor I followed for years before I was ready to work with her.

This conversation is about big dreams, personal branding vs. business branding, why your hair doesn't need to be perfect, and what it means to "raw dog" your personal brand (Jana's words, not mine - but I love it).

If you've been following someone for years, if you know deep down who your mentor is but haven't clicked the link yet, if you're building something that feels scary and big and true...

This episode is for you.

What We Talk About

On finding your "me for me" mentor

On Jana's origin story: The Big Dreams Genie

On Oneology: The book that changed everything

On personal branding vs. business branding

On "raw dogging" your personal brand (Jana's concept)

On Jana's hair (yes, really)

On the Me Brand framework

On Figure Seven (Jana's private coaching)

On 2026 and big dreams

Key Quotes

Ali: "In 2023, everywhere I looked, it just kept saying joy, joy here, joy there, joy this, joy that. When someone said 'what do you do?' I said 'I'm a joy coach.' And that's when it hit me."

"Jana, thank you on behalf of me and all of my listeners and all of my clients for helping me bring Joy to the world."

"Your Oneology book is like my Bible. Every line crystallises, alchemizes. I've read it so many times and each time I'm like, YES."

"I need someone to hold me through the big dick moments."

Jana: "I'm the Big Dreams Genie. If we go back to when it started - 2006, pregnant with my second baby at 22, high school dropout signing up to university."

"Four months in I knew: I'm not going to get a job in this field. What's the point? Then I got this rush: Janna, you're here to help women feel capable of their big dreams. Later on this is going to make sense. Trust it, do it."

"I accidentally wrote eight books in three months. I've lost track of all the others but I think I'm at eight."

"If it's ever about THEM for you, it's a business brand. If you're like 'I'm going to create this for this customer' - you're out of personal brand territory."

"Personal branding is you being as YOU as you can be. It's saying what you want to say. It's showing us your Christmas parties, wine at sunset, things we don't expect."

"My hair is like a client machine. A client paid me £70K and she's like 'it's just your hair, I just wanted to brush it.'"

"Raw dogging your personal brand is living in it, being fully in it. It's life-giving. You're on purpose and there's a universal God-given situation that happens."

"People will be like 'how is it working? You literally just show up with your yacht photos and here's Me Brand, buy now.' Because people know you inside out, upside down, round and round."

This week - in the final episode of the year and launching into January when everyone's freaking out about finances - I'm sitting down with someone who actually makes money joyful.

Meet Amy Goodall-Smith: Chartered Financial Planner, Fellow of the Personal Finance Society, Master's in Finance, and my gorgeous friend from school (yes, we go way back).

Amy's job? "I drink coffee, eat biscuits, and chat to people all day long. I spread a bit of money joy everywhere."

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the noise around money, if you're terrified of making wrong decisions, if you've got pensions scattered everywhere with no strategy, if talking about money makes you feel anxious or ashamed...

This conversation is for you.

Because here's what Amy knows: Peace of mind is the greatest wealth you can have.

Let's bring some joy to your money matters.

What We Talk About

On spreading money joy

On creating a financial strategy

On the biggest fears around money

On money and emotions

On finding forgotten money

On overwhelm and simplicity

On freedom and choice

On Amy's company philosophy

On Amy's approach

Key Quotes

Amy: "My kids say 'Mum, what do you do for a living?' I just say: I drink coffee, eat biscuits, and chat to people all day long. I get to spread a bit of money joy everywhere."

"People are so nervous of money and talking about money. They're frightened of it, or they don't feel they know enough, or they're anxious about making decisions."

"Siblings fall out over money in inheritance. Divorce becomes so emotional around the cash. 'That's not fair - I've been going and getting the money!' 'I've been at home doing all of this so you can do that!' All those emotions involved in money."

"Tackle it with a bit of strategy, take it head on, remove all the shame, take away those fears by starting to talk about it. That's really my driver for everything I do."

"I've got this knowledge, I'm really lucky. I can share that with people as much as they want to listen. It's enough to make people say 'okay, maybe it's not that scary.'"

"Peace of mind is the greatest wealth you can have. That is true. If you can have that peace of mind with the strategy, then you're all good. You can create the choices."

Ali: "The general narrative around money is just one of lack and fear-mongering. I wanted to bring joy to our spending, investing, savings - to talk all about money."

"Freedom financially is important. But freedom also comes from having that peace of mind - free from the fears."

"You can give them both: freedom from the anxiety and worries by giving them simple knowledge and simple strategies, AND that financial freedom that gives them choice."

This week, I'm sitting down with my dear friend Eleanor Goddard - entrepreneur, wife, mum of two twentysomethings - for a conversation that goes deeper than tinsel and turkey.

We're talking about death at Christmas (yes, really). About teenagers who still need you but don't think they do. About the pressure of holding everyone and everything together during "the most wonderful time of the year."

And about why that pressure? It's actually a privilege.

This is a raw, honest, beautiful conversation about navigating loss, aging parents, grown children, and the question that death keeps asking us: What do you want to do with this one life?

Eleanor will be back in the New Year to continue this conversation - because somehow we lost the final 10 minutes! But our conversation was too good not to share and she will be back in the New Year!

What We Talk About

• On death and funerals at Christmas.
• On parents and loss
• On squeezing more out of life
• On the next chapter

About Eleanor Goddard

Eleanor is the co-owner of Furnish & Fettle Interiors, the design business she runs alongside her husband, Glyn. A proud mum to Newcastle University students Ollie and Hattie—and to Ralph, the family’s lively black Labrador puppy—she balances entrepreneurship with a full and colourful home life.

Before launching the business, she built a successful career in medical sales. That chapter ended abruptly when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and the rare neurological condition orthostatic tremor, leading to a profound period of personal challenge. Her health journey included navigating depression and chronic fatigue as she came to terms with the loss of her career and identity.

 Driven by curiosity and determination, she immersed herself in research and clinical trials, and today her rheumatoid arthritis is generally well controlled, though flares still occur. Her orthostatic tremor remains her most significant daily hurdle, limiting her ability to stand without shaking—yet it’s also become part of the story that fuels her resilience & drive.

She’s recently discovered a passion for cold-water swimming, and often draws on the mind-body tools she gained while training in clinical hypnotherapy after her two hypnobirths.

Alongside running Furnish & Fettle, she has also stepped into the world of angel investing, embracing the learning curve, the energy of the community, and the thrill of building a portfolio that supports exciting new ventures. As her experience grows, she is beginning to explore the possibility of sharing her insights more formally—potentially stepping into a Non-Executive Director role to support and guide other founders on their journeys.

I sat down with the incredible Dimple - a woman whose work in love, healing and alignment has changed lives around the world.

She's been featured on the BBC, Tony Robbins' podcast, is a best-selling author and international speaker… but what you'll feel most is her energy.

Her presence heals. Her voice shifts something inside you. And her teachings open doors - fast.

May this episode bring you closer to the love you desire - and the love you deserve.

What We Talk About

• On bringing love back at Christmas
• On the Hawkins Scale & staying in love's frequency
• On manifesting love & connection
• On the "It's Done" mentality
• On Christmas stress & what really matters
• On self-love & boundaries

Some of my favourite lines & quotes: 

Dimple: 

"If you're feeling that you're lacking companionship, where are you not being your own companion?"

"I was feeling in my marriage so much neglect and I was blaming him for the neglect. Actually the truth is I was neglecting myself. So I was a match for neglect."

"On Christmas Day, if somebody's pissing you off, all I want you to think about is: does this really fucking matter? Or can I just pull another cracker?"

"The frequency of gratitude can only occur if you've received it already. So you're in the frequency of having received it, which means you've already done it."

Ali: "We cannot inflict a feeling on somebody else unless they're already feeling it already."

"It's loving yourself enough to be able to say, I love myself to remove myself from this situation."

"When you align with love, you amplify your joy. And the more joy you feel, the more you become a super-attractor because joy is one of the highest frequencies on the quantum scale."

"Setting boundaries and forgiveness are acts of self-love. If you can stay in that frequency of love and ask that question - what would love do? - you're on the path to having a really beautiful, loving Christmas."

Book: A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson

• Quote shared: "Something amazing happens when we surrender and just love. We melt into another world, a realm of power already within us. The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world." (Page 61)

This emotional conversation explores how learning to photograph yourself becomes a radical act of self-love, how to leave a photographic legacy for those you love, and why printed photographs matter more than ever.

Key Insights

Photography as Radical Self-Love

Paula doesn't just teach photography - she teaches women to see themselves differently. What starts as learning angles and lighting becomes something much deeper: learning to look at yourself objectively, beyond the critical voice that says "fugly," beyond the conditioning from parents and society.

Ali's transformation: "I came in thinking I'd learn to take photos. Instead, Paula taught me how to see myself as art. My body became shapes and images, not just flaws. It was alchemizing, transformational, healing."

The Light Switch Moment

Every person who works with Paula experiences this: a moment when the light switch flips and suddenly you lean closer to the mirror and think, "Holy shit. I am beautiful. I can SEE it."

From Fugly to Phenomenal

We all carry voices - from parents, ex-partners, friends, society - that tell us we're not good enough. Too fat, too ugly, too old, too much, not enough.

Paula's work helps you reprogram that voice. Like Ali's son Willy dancing in the mirror saying "I love myself, I look hot" - that's the energy we can reclaim.

The Wayne Dyer Truth

Ali's favourite quote: "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

Paula teaches you to change the way you look at YOURSELF. And when you do, you change.

Leaving a Legacy: The Importance of Printed Photographs

Ali's mum hated how she looked. When she died 10 years ago, there were no photographs of her. That absence - that lack of visual memory - was devastating.

Ali's mission: Create thousands of photographs so her boys have a box full of memories when she's gone.

Paula's wisdom: In an age of AI and digital manipulation, printed photographs become PROOF. Tangible truth. "This is the history, this is the past that I've had. It's here and it can't be messed with because it's printed. It's a thing."

Photography is Becoming More Important, Not Less

As AI makes everything questionable, as digital images can be altered beyond recognition, physical printed photographs become our anchor to truth and memory.

The invitation: Print your photos. Create albums. Leave tangible proof of your existence, your beauty, your life.

And so much more!

 They explore the balance between Christmas celebrations and the natural darkness of winter, how to find light in the dark, and practical tools for managing the overwhelming tornado that Christmas can feel like.

Key Insights

The Cultural Push vs. Natural Rhythm

Christmas happens at the darkest time of year. Traditionally, winter solstice (December 21st) was about hunkering down and celebrating the return of light. Now, we're dragged into what Denny calls "a bit of a tornado" - the pressure to be glittery and joyful when nature is actually inviting us to rest.

The truth: It's okay to find Christmas both lovely AND overwhelming.

Finding Light in the Dark

Both Ali and Denny have walked through darkness to get where they are today. Their shared wisdom: Don't avoid the dark. The jewels are found there.

When darkness is plunged upon you, there's no choice but to find the light. But it's not always as simple as "turning on the light" - sometimes you can't find the switch. You're feeling around in pitch black.

The revelation: The light isn't outside you. It's within you. When you sit IN the darkness instead of avoiding it, you find the jewels that spark your own light.

Lifting the Rug: What Are You Afraid to Find?

People don't lift the rug because they fear the monsters underneath. They fear the worst-case scenario. But what if instead of monsters, you found diamonds? Ruby slippers? Glass slippers?

The practice: Lean into the dark parts of yourself with curiosity, not fear. You have no idea what you're going to find - so don't always assume the worst.

The Pause: Your Most Powerful Tool

When life gets busy and overwhelming (hello, Christmas), the most important practice is THE PAUSE.

Before you respond, before you react, before you spiral - pause. Even if it's just 60 seconds. Feel what's coming up. Connect with yourself.

As Denny says: "Stop responding to every single thought. Just sit. Let awareness bubble up. Let vulnerability bubble up. See what's there and just let it be there."

The Havening Practice

When you need to soothe yourself, try this physical self-soothing technique:

1. Cross your arms over your chest (give yourself a hug)
2. Stroke down from your shoulders to your elbows with opposite hands
3. While doing this, repeat: "I shed the shame. I give myself grace."

Why it works: We're primed from babies to find comfort in this motion. It's deeply soothing.

Forgiveness as a Daily Practice

Denny practices forgiveness for herself constantly, especially at Christmas when routines slip and perfection isn't possible.

Ali's forgiveness mantra: "I shed the shame. I give myself grace."

Repeat it until your shoulders drop. That's you connecting with yourself, giving yourself the hug when no one else is there.

The Cacao Ritual

Denny's daily ritual is making cacao - her "safe place in the day." She even sings to her cacao (Christmas carols at the holidays!).

The principle: Find your 5-minute ritual. It might not be cacao, but create sacred time to sit in stillness, reflect on the day, and just BE.

You Can't Delegate Your Wellbeing

Just like you can't delegate your health (from Debbie's episode!), you can't delegate your peace, your joy, or your healing.

This is JUST ON YOU. And that's actually empowering, not limiting.

Staying Connected Through the Chaos

The most important thing during a crazy season: Stay connected to yourself.

Notice what feelings are coming up. Don't push them down. Pause. Breathe. Give you

https://www.alimortimer.com/

 This conversation covers hormone health, stress, menopause, and how to keep your body balanced when life gets busy. Deep science made accessible and practical.

Debbie's Wellness Triangle: Three Sides of Health

Debbie's Complete Lifestyle approach looks at three essential areas:

Physical - Movement, alignment, exercise
Chemical - Food, water, air, supplements, medications
Emotional - Mental wellbeing and stress

Key insight: Stress comes from ANY of these three sides. Poor diet is chemical stress. Lack of movement is physical stress. Anxiety is emotional stress. Your body responds to all of it.

Chronic health is preventable through lifestyle. Your body is like a bank account - you can't keep making withdrawals without eventually running poor.

The Stress-Hormone Connection

When stressed (physically, chemically, or emotionally):

→ Cortisol spikes
 → Blood sugar becomes erratic
 → Sleep disrupts
 → Sex hormones get suppressed (survival mode = no reproduction)
 → Everything compounds

Result: Exhaustion, weight gain (especially around the middle), mood swings, hormone chaos.

Food is 80% of Your Health

Stop worrying so much about running every day. Start with your plate.

The sugar problem: Modern food is loaded with hidden sugars. When blood sugar constantly spikes and crashes, cortisol works overtime to compensate.

Simple rule: Pair sugar with protein (nuts, cheese, eggs) to stabilize blood sugar.

Menopause Doesn't Have to Be Miserable

How well you go through perimenopause and menopause depends on your stress levels, diet, movement, sleep, and how you've treated your body up until this point.

It's not inevitable that this transition has to be difficult.

You Can't Delegate Your Health

Gary Barlow's story: Despite success and resources, he found himself struggling with alcohol, weight gain, and low motivation. After seeing his doctor, his first thought walking back to his car was: "Who can I get to do this for me?"

Before he reached his car, it hit him: This is the ONE thing only HE could do.

He went home, put on trainers, tried to run around the block, and thought he was going to die. But that's where it started.

The lesson: You cannot delegate your health. This is JUST ON YOU.

Ali's brings the JOY: focus Just On You, That's Joy!

Anytime you hear the word JOY, remember: it has to be JUST ON YOU.

Your health. Your hormones. Your happiness. Your choices.

When you focus on what YOUR body needs, on what brings YOU joy - that's when everything shifts.

Practical Takeaways

1. Start with food - 80% of your health
2. Pair sugar with protein - Stabilizes blood sugar (nuts, cheese, eggs)
3. Stay hydrated - Especially if drinking alcohol
4. Address stress holistically - Physical, chemical, AND emotional
5. Make deposits, not just withdrawals - Your body is a bank account
6. Own your health - No one can do this for you

In this episode, Ali shares a powerful Love Club Live session from the 11/11 portal, designed to build your confidence in your manifesting abilities. This is the final part of a three-part series on manifestation, and it's all about recognizing the magic you've already created—and using it to create even more.

Key Themes

✨ You are already a master manifester
 ✨ The power of being "unreasonably optimistic"
 ✨ The 5 Questions that prove your manifesting power
 ✨ The 5 A's Framework for Manifesting As If By Magic

The Big Quote

"A pattern I've noticed in successful people: They're all a little bit delusional about their abilities. Not arrogant, just unreasonably optimistic about what they can figure out. While everyone else is listing reasons why something won't work, they're already trying it. Half the time they're wrong, but the other half changes their lives. Reasonable people don't build unreasonable lives."

Translation: Be a little bit bonkers. Be a little bit delusional. Be unreasonably optimistic.

The 5 Questions to Prove You're Already a Master Manifester

Ali guides you through five powerful questions designed to help you see the evidence of your manifesting power:

1. What were your dreams as a young child? What did you imagine for yourself?
2. Where are you living the reality of what was once a dream you never thought possible? Look at your life right now—what "impossible" things have you already manifested?
3. In the miracle of the dream coming true—what was down to you? What actions, beliefs, attitudes did you bring? And what was magic, synchronicity, divine timing?
4. What are your dreams now? Big, small, specific, abstract, watercolor? What do you want?
5. You have dreams you don't even know about yet. How does that make you feel?

These questions help you see: you've already manifested incredible things. You just don't give yourself credit for it.

The 5 A's: Manifesting As If By Magic Framework

Ali's signature manifesting process:

1. ASK - Place your order. What do you want? Be specific (like the exact Apple Watch with the raspberry band) or specific in feeling (I want to be happy).

2. ACKNOWLEDGE - Notice the dominant negative thought working against it. Don't ignore it—acknowledge it, then drop it or dissolve it.

3. ASSUME - Step into the energy of already having it. Assume the identity of someone who already has what you want.

4. ACT - Take inspired action from that assumed energy. When you assume it's already happened, you know what actions got you there.

5. ALLOW - Surrender to the universe. Trust the process. Trust the magic. Allow it to unfold in ways that might exceed your expectations.

Real Example: The Apple Watch Story

Ali wanted the latest Apple Watch with heart monitoring (for health anxiety around palpitations). The delivery wouldn't arrive in time for her London trip. She placed the order anyway, trusting Apple would "blow her mind."

Her husband James cancelled the online order—because he'd gone into the Leeds shop and bought her the exact watch she wanted with the exact raspberry pink band she wanted, in time for her trip.

That's magic manifesting. Ask, acknowledge doubt, assume it'll work out, act on it, allow the magic to unfold.

Key Takeaways

→ You're already a master manifester—you just need to recognize it
 → Be "unreasonably optimistic" about what you can create
 → Stop being a forensic accountant of your failures
 → Believing you can do something gets you half

https://www.alimortimer.com/

In this episode, Ali breaks down the science behind manifestation and shares the exact 5-step process she used to go from the darkest period of her life to living her dream reality. You'll learn about:

• Your Reticular Activating System (RAS) - the filter between you and your reality, and how to reprogram it
• The Hawkins Scale - why operating from love, joy, and peace creates quantum leaps in manifestation
• The 5 A's Process - Ali's signature framework for manifesting anything you desire

This isn't wishful thinking. This is intentional creation backed by neuroscience and energy.

Key Takeaways

✨ Your brain filters reality based on your beliefs—change your beliefs, change what you see ✨ You can't manifest from fear, shame, or anger—you have to raise your frequency first ✨ The more you believe in the process, the faster it works ✨ Manifestation is Ask + Acknowledge + Assume + Act + Allow

The 5 A's Manifesting Process

1. ASK - Place your order. What do you actually want?
2. ACKNOWLEDGE - Notice the dominant thought working against it (and drop it)
3. ASSUME - Step into the energy of already having it
4. ACT - Take inspired action from that energy
5. ALLOW - Trust the process and let the magic unfold

Real Results

When Ali ran this live with The Love Club members:

• One woman hit her £50K savings target
• Another was headhunted for her dream job
• Another manifested a soul sanctuary + £5K in gifts

In this deeply personal episode, I share how one simple exercise—inspired by the #hellomynameis campaign started by Chris and Kate Pointon—helped me make peace with my past and transform my pain into purpose.

I introduce myself twice: once through the lens of my trauma, loss, and struggle... and once through the lens of my joy, love, and success. Same person. Same life. Completely different story.

You'll discover:

• How our stories don't define us (even when they feel like they do)
• The "Hello, my name is..." exercise that changed everything for me and my clients
• Why we get to CHOOSE how we experience the stories we live
• How to use your pain to create your purpose
• The power of KFG: Keep F*cking Going

This one's raw, real, and might just help you rewrite your own story.

Mentioned in this episode:

• #hellomynameis campaign (hellomynameis.org.uk)
• Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Charity & Trust
• Yorkshire Ladies links events & networking

Earlier this spring, Heidi reached out and said:

“My sister Keeley and I would love to come on your podcast and sing your praises.”

I don’t usually say yes to that sort of request but there was something about these two. They’re fun, they’re full of life and most of all, they’re deeply devoted to each other.

And I knew there was a story here that was much bigger than me.

This episode is a celebration of sisterhood - of what it means to walk each other home through grief, growth and everything in between.

It’s a conversation about showing up when life gets hard, about being a safe place for the people you love, and about the power of unconditional support.

And yes… they did share a few kind words about our work together, but this really isn’t about that.

It’s about love, family and remembering that we don’t have to do life alone.
