It’s safe to say that the past few years have presented some significant challenges to us all – individually, locally, nationally and around the world. Things don’t seem to be letting up and it was with this in mind that we (Victoria Garratt, a professional coach of over 12 years, and Andy Swalwell, a radio presenter and producer) have created a limited-run radio series that explores some challenging and everyday issues to inspire and uplift as many people as we can reach.
In each episode over two series we spend time talking to a different guest who shares their personal stories of ambition, hope, and resilience and what it’s taught them. We wanted to punctuate these chats with some music that matches the tone of the conversation so have welcomed independent and unsigned musicians to also share their own stories through their passion for music. We topped this is up with some recommendations for further reading and support on the topics that we discuss, coming together to make what we think is a really enlightening radio series.
We discuss a number of themes across series, starting with sense of purpose, resilience, supporting others, values and how to live by them, and committing to happiness and working all the way through to what does it mean to be human? More than this though, our fascinating guests – through their authenticity and honesty – bring so much more insight and some real words of wisdom that we think will resonate with you.
