Hey Weirdos!

It's time for another Professional Weirdo! Today, I have the absolute pleasure of introducing an extraordinary woman, Kate, an Eco-chic warrior, who turned a life-changing event into a powerful mission. Five years ago, Kate survived a subarachnoid brain haemorrhage, an experience that made her realise how precious life is and that tomorrow is never promised. This sparked her passion to create Flotsam Flo, inspired by her beloved late Granny Florence, where she upcycles broken wetsuits, lifejackets, inflatables, banners, and other hard-to-recycle materials into stunning, eco-friendly bags and accessories. Kate's incredible work has earned her a Judge's Commendation for Circular Economy at the Cornwall Sustainability Awards, and her commitment to sustainability extends beyond her creations—she also runs workshops to inspire others to think differently about waste.

In this episode, Kate talks about her journey, how tragedy and pain inspired her to grab life by the horns and be her true self, as well as chatting to us about how she gets waste, her process, incredible companies she's partnering with, what she's up to and how she's flying the flag for sustainability. Let’s give a huge welcome to the resilient, innovative, and inspiring Kate!

Hey Weirdos! It's another solo episode this week, and would you look at that, she's only gone and got the duration down to 20 minutes! She's in her Efficiency era! It's a fun and light episode today, all about a juicy topic - Signs from the Universe. How does it all work? What in the incense stick am I talking about? Is it all a load of tosh or is there any truth in this?

I personally believe that signs from the universe, (or 'Life' if you prefer to be less woo), can lead us in the right direction, give us pointers, affirm our current beliefs, change our course or even give us the answer to a big decision.

In this episode I talk through 3 short stories of how I've used signs from the universe - 2 that came out of the blue that lead to big actions, and one that I asked for in making an aligned decision. Manifestation comes from the action we take after opportunity, so it's important that we first look for the magic in opportunity in order to take the course that is meant for us.

I'll give you tips on how you can work with signs from the universe to give you the guidance you need in life and business, because as we all know, they are so interlinked.

I'm a firm believer in fate, destiny, but also co-creating our reality and using a positive mindset and perspective to shape our future. I hope you enjoy listening along and I would LOVE to hear about any signs from the universe you receive or request.

Hey Weirdos! In this week's episode, I'm super honoured to be sharing a chat with The Self Development Coach, Johnny Lawrence.

Johnny is a certified behavioural change coach, level 3 counsellor, speaker and host of The Self Development Podcast.

​

He helps individuals make lasting positive changes, such as transitioning careers, overcoming addiction, starting a business, or finding an action-based solution to feeling stagnant and stuck. Johnny has spoken at various events, businesses, festivals and charities to share his gift with the world.

​Johnny has set himself the mission of helping as many people as possible create meaningful and permanent change.

In this mind-expanding chat, we talk about Johnny's traumatic past as a childhood witness to domestic violence and a survivor of physical child abuse, as well as his addiction with alcohol. Now 4 years sober, and after helping many individuals through his incredible work, Johnny shares with Work it Weirdo how he's used his childhood experiences to flavour his perspective and career, giving him a unique position to connect with and empower others to move through life's challenges.

We also touch on the following areas:

• Sitting with trauma and emotions in order to move on
• Dealing with triggers
• Reframing fear and bravery
• Improving your relationships through perspective
• Achieving your life dreams
• Being an original
• Navigating people feeling threatened by your success
• Facing adversity and handling challenges
• Communicating effectively
• Handling disappointment and expectation
• Sobriety and coping mechanisms for all addictions

Johnny also talks through the valuable work he does not only in coaching, and via his own podcast, but through public speaking, his upcoming documentary and the future project of his book. This guy is doing it all!

Such an incredible man with a truly inspirational and at times, jaw-dropping journey. His passion and mission are clear and it was such a delight to listen to his story and soak in his wisdom. You are going to feel you can tackle anything after listening!
