Tales of Transformation with Ann Girling

Episode 13: Journey to Being Fabulous

Tales of Transformation
Hosted by Ann Girling
Date broadcast: 13th August 2024
 
In this episode Yvonne shares her decision to leave a well paid corporate job to seek greater purpose outside not initially knowing what she was going to do. Her story is one of going from extreme stress to the joy of running her own business as a coach and she also gives us some tips about managing procrastination which we all suffer from to some extent!
Yvonne Pritchard is a “Fabulous” coach, who coaches and mentors women to;
Remove doubt
Be more confident
Discover their identity
Fall in love with themselves
And to be Fabulous.
I know what it feels like to be less than Fabulous.  I didn’t know who I was, what my purpose was and I had lost my confidence, my mojo and my sparkle. People didn’t know this as I hid it well, and this was exhausting. I was putting on a mask and pretending to be happy, in control and confident, I was not. This took it toll on me and I ended up being diagnosed with depression. Fast forward to now and I am 100% in love with myself, I know who I am, what I stand for, I am happy, confident, and in control of my life, and when curve balls come, I know how to deal with them.
She is  walking, talking proof that you can be the person you want to be, but you need to invest time and money into yourself to make these changes. And I hope we’ll hear her story
She is an NLP Master Coach, A Time Line Therapy Master coach and a Hypnosis Master. Over the past 5 years she has coached over 200 people to be fabulous and to lead the life they deserve.

Episode 8: Journey to Calm with Cath Downes

Tales of Transformation
 
Hosted by Ann Girling
Date broadcast: 4th June 2024
 
In this episode Cath shares her story of her realisation that, as a primary school teacher, with all the pressures that go alongside it, she was missing out on seeing her son grow up as she was never fully present in her life. She talks about learning to become a mindfulness teacher and how she has grown an award winning business. She also shares about why mindfulness and meditation is so important to balance out the stresses that are part and parcel of 21st century life and finding joy in our daily life
Cath Downes is an award winning mindfulness and meditation mentor and founder of Find Your Calm.
It wasn’t until she left a teaching career of 18 years that she realised she’d never really switched off from work and been fully present in her life!
Cath realised that she had missed out on time with her son and stepchildren. She had been there physically, but was often distracted and not quite there, mentally and emotionally.
Through developing a daily mindfulness practice, she felt she got her life back. She learnt how to bring herself to the present moment, slowing the pace so her mind could be where she was.
The simple changes Cath made had such a big impact that she wanted to share what she’d learnt with as many other people as possible.
Cath qualified as a mindfulness teacher and meditation leader in 2020. Since then, she’s run numerous courses, including her Mindfulness for Men group programme. She also works with clients on a one to one basis, helping them to become more calm, more connected and more happy in life.
