In this first episode I talk about the aims of the podcast, how it came about, and what inspired me to start the series. I share my personal story and a significant milestone I'm celebrating in my business.'Roots for Growth' is a metaphor from my book with the same title, and relates to finding what we need within ourselves, and growing through the changes which come along in life... or changes which we choose to make for ourselves!There is a strong theme of stories, and the guests I have invited to join me for future episodes are shining examples of resilience, inspiration, and willingness to be themselves and be open to living wholehearted lives. There is also a focus on mindful living, being aware of the choices that present themselves and the learning that can come from embracing both challenges and opportunities.Join us every fortnight for great conversations, spark your curiosity, share learning and inspiration, and connect with what's important in your life.
