1 Marking 10 years in business, Elain Crewe, founder of Wellbeing4Life, shares how her darkest moments in the workplace took her on the path to a life balanced and fulfilled 43:06
Elain candidly and honestly shares her journey of her downward spiral in terms of mental health. She neither recognised the signs nor had the toolkit to deal with the symptoms. It completely transformed her perspective on work-related breakdowns. Once she’d sought help she took the brave decision to set up a business to help others and this month celebrates 10 years in business. Within 2 days of the pandemic her phone didn’t stop and she hasn’t looked back since and it’s clear she has an absolute passion to make a difference so that others don’t endure the same as she did. “I am an expert in me” not someone seeking to perpetually please nor strive for perfection. Elain’s what 3 words to a road to happiness and balance: · BALANCE · BRAVE · FAITH Tune in to find out why Her book that she would take into isolation turned out to be the one that got her through lockdown – A Trip of One Zone, by Kate Willis.

Welcome to this latest episode with fitness trainer Ruairi Davies. From a dream job training elite rugby athletes in Chile to a lockdown-enforced return home.

1 Why giving pays back and an unexpected dive into the benefits of AI. Dave Hider, MBA, founder of Mind-Gap, coaching lecturer and philanthropist 53:42
Welcome to this latest conversation with Dave Hider. Dave has held extensive strategic leadership roles and during lockdown, whilst working full time, navigating different processes as a result of lockdown with most of his team furloughed he completed his MBA with distinction. Covid made him realise that life is too short so he left the trappings of a stable career and started his own business Mind-Gap with a purpose to help leaders bridge the gap between unlocked potential and success. The business is booming and he is committed to donating 30% of his time and profits to support some of the poorest countries in the world and talks about corporate karma. As a coach and trainer he talks about balancing market opportunities of online coaching and rich and engaging training. Can it be done without the coffee conversations? “Ploughing a furrow…” We explore the meaning of work-life balance and how his own journey is so liberating and rewarding that, even though he works more hours now, he is more balanced. Dave reveals how he’s moved from the ‘fast line’ to the ‘flow lane’ and why purpose is pivotal to all that he does. In his case he is really driven to helping people, businesses and communities to hunt out what else they could be doing, discovering and ‘leaning into’. Dave’s 3 words for happiness, success and balance: · GIVING – always attracted to those that give · PURPOSE – how do we move to proactive not reactive sense of purpose · POTENTIAL – the importance of stepping out of your comfort space Dave wraps up with what we should do more and less of to get a happier, balanced life Instagram: cripps.sarah and bigbalancetheory Twitter: @sarahcripps7 and @theory_balance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahcrippsand https://www.linkedin.com/company/big-balance-theory/ Linktr.ee/bigbalancetheory bigbalancetheory@gmail.com (33) Dave Hider MBA | LinkedIn Unlocking Potential Through Leadership Training - Mind-Gap Podcast engineer Karen Pirie…

1 Nicky Applegarth, MD of award-winning global digital marketing agency, Ayima, mountain climber, wife and (nearly) fully trained dog trainer 30:41
In this episode my conversation is with Nicky Applegarth, MD of award winning digital marketing agency, Ayima. This agency serves many of the world’s biggest brands with a global team of just over 100. Nicky started her digital career back in 1999 in a small website design and build agency at a time when mobile phones were simply used to make phone calls and send text messages. In 2013 she took a five-month career and life break exploring South America on her own. The experience gave her a new sense of balance but it was shortlived and she was soon on ‘that treadmill’. Lockdown forced her to revisit balance and she shares how. Nicky gives us her three words for happiness, success and balance: NO FIT and KINDNESS and our conversation explores the challenges of recruiting a younger generation and how expectations have changed for this generation Recommended read: Every Dog, A book of over 450 breeds – Nancy Hajeski Recommended film: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Recommended podcast: Drinking from the Toilet – Hannah Branigan Sarah: Instagram: cripps.sarah and bigbalancetheory Twitter: @sarahcripps7 and @theory_balance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarahcrippsand https://www.linkedin.com/company/big-balance-theory/ Linktr.ee/bigbalancetheory bigbalancetheory@gmail.com Guest: Nicky Applegarth (14) Nicky Applegarth | LinkedIn Nicky Applegarth (@nickyapplegarth) • Instagram photos and videos Producer, Karen Pirie Twitter: @karenepirie…
