When I set out to create a podcast, I had a particular guest in mind. The guest on this episode is that person.

Lucy Marsh had a massive impact on what I actually do today.

Lucy probably doesn't realize the impact that she has had.

On my travels as a speaker, we met back in 2018 at an event in South Australia. The impact that Lucy had on my life has changed the way that I thought about being a speaker and how I'd share my story.

Her life hasn't been easy and has had plenty of ups and downs. I can't wait for her to share her story with us.

It’s an absolute privilege to have Lucy as a guest and hopefully those who listen can take something away from her story. Even if it is just empathy towards how those struggle with their mental health.

For most Gorgi Coghlan will need little introduction, but Gorgi as for many people I meet, there is so much more to a person than what they are known for or what they do.

Gorgi and I met at an event last year where I was a speaker and Gorgi was the MC. I was instantly taken by Gorgi's professionalism, but also the depth and level that she operates at.

Gorgi is probably best know for being a TV presenter on The Project, amongst other programs but is also a country girl at heart, who has been a science teacher, journalist, and currently a successful business owner, singer. performer, and foremost a Mother to her Daughter Molly Rose and Wife and Partner to Simon.
