….. boy did we have the most fabulous guests in the studio today, the brilliant Katie Ellis, founder of The Able Label and her mother, Valerie.  Katie and her business is amazing – we learnt why Katie set it up and who it helps – everyone and anyone who has difficulty dressing or cares for someone and helps them dress.  Only focussing on ladies at the present but I’m sure Katie will be expanding into the male market and probably also maybe kiddies, the product idea is superb and can bring confidence and independence to many ladies’ dressing requirements.  If you wish to see Katie in person, she will be exhibiting/talking at the following:

Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent: 18th – 22nd April in collaboration with Ability Plus;

Remember next week is also Parkinsons’ Awareness Week (18th – 24th April) – maybe we should all shout out about The Able Label and tag @ParkinsonsUK in our tweets?

Show 134 – March 14th

JackRavenBushcraftIf you went down in the woods today……….

Angela was delighted to meet Gary Johnston from Jack Raven Bushcraft and Jayne Dunsbee from Inspirational Changes.  Hear Angela’s interview with them about why Gary set up bushcrafting courses and is now an approved CPD provider of The Institute for Outdoor Learning.  Also we hear why Jayne and Gary have partnered together to provide a new offering, Nature Based Mindfulness retreats.  Gary and Jayne touch on the scientific benefits of Mindfulness practices as well as the benefits of being outdoors.  We hear about the wonderful tasty recipes that Gary’s partner, Nicola Clowes, produces (that have been compared to restaurant quality) for example, Hogweed Pakoras, Dandelion Bajis and Sag Aloo made from Stinging nettles and why stinging nettles are so much better for us than Spinach!

If you wish to book on one of their Nature Based Mindfulness retreat days (or weekend) hurry as places are limited.  Dates on offer are:

Saturday 14th May      or      Thursday 16th June     or 2 day = Sat – Sun 13th – 14th August 2016.

Book HERE to secure your place, you’ll have a great time with Gary, Nicola and Jayne.

Another jam packPeopleface2faceLogoed show, thanks to our guest, Trish Stretton of People face2face Ltd who shared her personal journey to better health.  Angela and her guest co-presenter, Chris Pollard, chatted with Trish about her path to a healthier and better quality of life.  We also learnt how Trish’s road was paved with a few rocks (health challenges) along the way and how she found ways to cope with them.  Finally we touched briefly on her Jive Dancing passion (great exercise) as well as her love of her Thermomix and how she has now added “Independent Thermomix Advisor” to her portfolio of skills.  A real life “Wonder Woman” and a true inspiration to many.  Big thanks to our show sponsors too, namely:
