Ep 218: Trish Jenkins - Unlock Your Brave in an Uncertain World

Our world is dominated by fear. It traps people and robs them of joy, but fear is a liar! You can unlock your Brave and live your best life, regardless of circumstances.

The Strongest prison bars are in your head and it's time for a jailbreak! Trish Jenkins should know. Prison was not on this businesswoman's "Dream Board" but it happened. At the height of corporate and investment success, Trish was unwittingly caught up in a funds management scandal. Her boss stole millions of dollars from clients, including Trish. As a result, she fell in breach of the Corporations Act.

Trish was sentenced to 8 months in prison. Away from her husband and three little girls, and surrounded by some of Queensland's most dangerous criminals she could have despaired. Instead, she learned more while incarcerated than in her 20 years in the business world. Trish learned the strongest prison bars holding you back are in your head.

Today Trish is an author and speaker who works with people and organisations who want to build resilience, adapt to change and lead effectively. That takes courage.

The future belongs not to those without fear, but to those who feel the fear, take charge of their mental ecosystem and step bravely forward in their career, their relationships and their purpose.

Keys from Trish's personal story of unexpected imprisonment and its colourful characters will unlock your brave so you can adapt to changing circumstances, rise to challenges and live life to the full!

Ep 217: Kylie Zeal - Fitting Writing in With Your Day Job

Kylie Zeal is a Book Coach. She wrote her first book in 2013, and wishes she knew then what she knows now about how to plan, draft, edit and publish a book, not to mention how to manage her time so the writing happens faster. That knowledge would have saved her more than two years of meandering, confusion and self-doubt.

Fortunately, Kylie persevered, driven by the experience of how much books had helped her transform her life and a desire to have the same impact on others, and eventually published her book. It became a valuable asset in her business, coaching industry leaders and entrepreneurs.

Kylie continued to write and publish books and discovered that she wanted to spend more of her time immersed in the world of writing and publishing. So, after more than a decade of executive and leadership coaching, Kylie formally changed her title to Book Coach and underwent training to become an accredited book coach.

Now, Kylie feels like she is living her best life. She gets to spend her days helping clients around the world capture the important and valuable ideas, knowledge and expertise in their heads and write their book. Her signature phrase is, “You can write a page-turner book, even if you have a day job and other responsibilities.”

Kylie also enjoys the freedom of being location-independent and has been travelling full-time since Nov 2018.  To learn more about Kylie Zeal and schedule a no-obligation chat to explore your idea for a book, go to www.kyliezeal.com

Ep 215: Deborah Fay - Advantages of Being a Contributing Author

Deborah Fay is a respected publishing consultant.  She is the founder and CEO at Disruptive Publishing and is a best-selling author in her own right, having written and contributed to several books.

Deborah has always loved reading and writing and wanted to be an author from an early age.  She was 49 when she became an author for the first time, proving that you are never too old to realise a dream or to reinvent yourself.  Her first self-publishing effort was a compilation book called Domestic Detox in which she collected, collated and published 14 stories from people who had gone to great lengths to remove the toxins from their diets and from their environments for a variety of reasons, including health, childhood development and behavioural challenges resulting from allergies and intolerances.

The next compilation book – Parenting a Child on the Spectrum – brought together 25 authors and was the result of a long-held vision. It has already been followed up with Part 2 Where Are They Now? for those who wrote, wanting to know what had happened to the families who had contributed.

In the last couple of years, Deborah has published several compilation books, including a school anthology put together with a local catholic school, and Disruptive Publishing currently has four more compilation projects in progress.  Deborah says: “It’s not all we do at Disruptive Publishing, but it is something we do really well.”  She believes that compilation books are a win for everyone involved and she can’t wait to tell us why.

Ep 211: Carmen Sanz - Sound as an Accessible & Effective Healing Tool

Born and raised in Southern Spain, Carmen Sanz was fascinated by Buddhist philosophy and eastern traditions.  Past lives, reincarnation and eastern philosophy made sense to her since a young age.

Carmen started her journey of self-discovery in 2008 during a 10-day Silent Vipassana Retreat. Since then she has studied under many masters around the world in several traditions of meditation, yoga, sound healing, reiki and eastern medicine.

Her sensitivity for music was developed with the help of her father, a music hedonist who has influenced and shaped her understanding for it. Carmen’s love for sacred sounds started when visiting temples and in her travels in the Himalayas.

Carmen now integrates sound as the main tool with the healing modalities she practices.  Sound is an effective, effortless and accessible way to heal and allow inner connection.  She calls sound therapy an assisted meditation.  She is passionate to be the channel of the wisdom she has received sharing her understanding in an authentic, inclusive and accessible way.
