What if addiction isn’t a weakness? What if it’s showing you where you can reclaim your power?

In this episode, Lynn Coleman and Zach Ferguson discuss addiction and recovery. Zach, an addiction educator and self-led recoveree, has his own definition of addiction: the belief that external sources can provide fulfillment. It’s this belief that leads to feelings of powerlessness. And that keeps you stuck.

Zach shares his journey from addiction to recovery and he doesn’t hold back on talking about the highs or the lows. He sees addiction is a societal issue, not a personal moral failing. That’s because addiction is a survival mechanism triggered by unprocessed childhood trauma.

Zach advocates for viewing addiction as a gift - it’s showing us where we need to heal. He’s encouraging anyone with an addiction (and any of us with unhealthy habits) to redefine our relationship with the thing we ‘need’.

This episode isn’t just for people with addictions or who know people with addictions. It’s an invitation to redefine our relationship with ourselves and the outside world.

“Do you secretly believe money is ‘bad’?” Angela Tipton unpacks the hidden beliefs that could be sabotaging your future plans —and how to shift them.

In this episode, Angela Tipton, founder of Fire Your Career, discusses the concept of financial freedom and the importance of a positive money mindset with me. She explains how financial freedom allows you to choose how to spend your time, such as retiring early or pursuing new passions. Angela emphasizes how we need to challenge disempowering beliefs about money, like always spending whatever you earn or the idea that only selfish people have money.

We talk about the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement and the importance of saving and investing wisely (no matter what your age). Angela also shares her personal journey, including dealing with her health challenges, and gives us advice about self-help books and reflecting on personal goals, so we can achieve a powerful money mindset.

And as usual in Conversations About Power, we relate all of these topics to Angela’s vision on power and how it applies to her life.

• Defining Financial Freedom (2:19)
• The FIRE Movement and Conscious Decision Making (4:44)

In this episode, I share my experiences from a recent trip to Phoenix for a group coaching program with James Wedmore. I also share the stress of the run up to going - dealing with a lost cat, arranging for its care, and my Mum’s hospitalisation. Despite this, I managed to attend and enjoy the event, learning once again how important connection is, with myself and others. This is the main topic today - how social interactions reduced and changed during the pandemic and how much we need personal connections. Connecting with yourself in business and marketing is going to become increasingly important and the place to start that process is YOU.

Main Topics & Discussion

• Journey to Phoenix and Cat Rescue (0:00)
• Preparing for the Trip and Family Concerns (5:04)
• Experiences at the Event and Personal Reflections (7:03)

How the oldest bodybuilder on the stage found her power and founded 3 schools

Tina Miller is an international speaker and comedian, who has founded three sober schools in Florida for teenagers struggling with addictions.

I’m very lucky to have Tina share her story with me today. Her story is so incredible that she’s been invited to share it on the Kelly Clarkson show.

We talk about how she survived childhood trauma, rape, and domestic violence to found schools that provide mental health care and recovery support for these kids who often go unseen.

She explains why we need to change our ideas about addiction. She tells us about her recent surgery experience, and how it made her reflect on her own power.

And, because that’s the kind of woman she is, Tina also discusses how she became a bodybuilder and why she was grateful to be the oldest by far on the competition stage.

• Introduction and Background of Tina Miller (0:00)
• Tina's Personal Journey and Schools (2:09)

In this episode of Conversations About Power, I’m talking to Rima Nouri, a life coach and old client of mine who specializes in home environments. It’s great to reconnect with her and hear about her move from Paris to Normandy.

Rima discusses her move and its impact on her personal and professional life. There’s something calming about the roar of the sea!

She explains the connection between home, your sense of power, and your personal well-being. Rima also shares how renovating her new home and taking up singing again have significantly improved her own life.

A word that crops up a lot during this conversation is your ‘essence’. Rima highlights the importance of staying connected to your essence and that we should use AI as a tool rather than a replacement for human connection.

If you enjoy wide-ranging conversations and ideas that you can put into practice from the comfort of your own couch, you’ll love this conversation with Rima Nouri.

In this episode, I’m discussing the importance of powerful writing for your coaching or healing business. Here’s the thing: you need to feel your inner power to write powerfully and if you don’t, this will show up in your writing in what I call power leaks. I’ll share 3 common power leaks with you and how you identify them in your writing.

Powerful writing is clear, engaging, and reflects your inner voice. It also does what it needs to do! Connect with audience, attract leads, and turn leads into clients. At the end of the episode, I’ll suggest how you can review your website content, blogs, and emails to identify where your power leaks are.

And I’m also sharing about the Heart-Powered Writing Journal, that I recently published. What makes journaling such a great way to write for your business? Listen in to find out more.

In this Conversation About Power, I'm talking to Lisa Erickson.

Lisa is an author. She's a therapist. She's an expert in chakras and also in a technique called feeding your demons, which is a Tibetan Buddhist technique, which is an incredibly powerful way to transform your ideas about your own power.

I'm blown away by this technique. I've been reading about it over the last couple of weeks, so we'll be talking about this along with the main subject of today's episode: sexual trauma and how that affects your feeling of power.

Our sense of our own power has a lot to do with how much power we experience over our own bodies and the experiences that we have had in our bodies. That means, any kind of trauma that affects our bodies is going to affect our feeling of power, our feeling of authority over ourselves and our responses, the way that we deal with others.

So, this is a really relevant subject. We know that a lot of women and men experience sexual trauma, and we know that the effects live on for a long, long time. We’re talking about that during this episode, but we don't go into triggering details or specific situations, so you don't need to worry about that if you have been through sexual trauma yourself. If you have experienced sexual trauma, then I encourage you to take this episode in, in your own way, and see what resonates for you.

As I say, it's a big episode. It's an important subject, and it's something that we need to talk about.
