Lucy Abigail - Founder of Keys to Clarity and Author of the Finding Direction Journal

Lucy Abigail is the sole founder of Keys to Clarity - empowerment coaching for fulfilment seekers; individuals who feel unhappy with their life and don't know how to change it.

Lucy’s words:

“I don't know about you, but I'm always trying to find more happiness, satisfaction and fulfilment in my life because I don't want to be on the other side with any regrets. I am a fulfilment seeker.

If you don't go for the big dreams, you can be content. Have a house, a good relationship, build a family. However there's always a part of you that knows what your missing out. You're paying all that additional happiness to be comfortable and content and secure within what you know. Here's a thought for you, if you don't put yourself in a position to fail, you never put yourself in a position to succeed either. All you're doing is sustaining who you are, you're not growing or learning, not succeeding. Just sustaining.

Keys to Clarity was set up to help others overcome obstacles (or opportunities as I call them) to their happiness. It's purpose is to encourage, educate and empower you to live a fulfilling life. It's what my life is dedicated to right now.

My hunt for happiness lead me into the world of positive psychology, the science behind all the best self-help books.

There, the world's most reputable psychologists became my teachers and with them I found answers to some of my life's hardest questions.

The foundation of what has helped me came from positive psychologists Richard Ryan and Edward Deci's Self-Determination Theory, which states autonomy, competence, and relatedness are essential psychological needs of any individual to be mentally healthy.

Studies on being self-determined, especially autonomous, have shown to increase well-being, performance in education, job satisfaction and reduced stress, overall leading to a happier and more fulfilling life.

I see a world where everyone has the knowledge and the confidence to live a fulfilling life that makes them happy.

I'd appreciate hearing your story! Please use the link to Calendly to book a connection call in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to connecting with you.”

The ten principles outlined in this book will provide you with the bedrock necessary to form the foundation of unshakeable beliefs and dedicated behaviors that will guide you to your uncommon and extraordinary life.

These principles will reinforce your attitude, no matter how much pain you must endure or how many obstacles you must overcome to achieve and maintain excellence. Do you have what it takes to apply these principles to lead your uncommon and extraordinary life?

LEAPS - School for Fathers Podcast - Danusia Malina-Derben interviews Michael de Groot

The School for Fathers Podcast disrupts the idea that once we’re a father, life stays the same. Join entrepreneur and mother of 10, Danusia Malina-Derben as she interviews working fathers about how they’re answering the question: How can I be a father and still be me? She hears from celebrities, well-known authors, heavyweight entrepreneurs, global activists, career powerhouses, influencers, & leading experts. Expect vulnerable conversation and insights that blow fresh air into what we know about men as working fathers.

In today’s episode, she chats with Michael de Groot, Chief Storyteller at Staying Alive UK, podcast host and stepfather of two. His professional quest is to enable small business owners to become better storytellers and share engaging stories about themselves and their businesses. He does this through his own small business where he produces impactful cartoons and animation campaigns, engaging audiences and giving them a unique insight into an organisation’s story and value proposition. The story at the core of this episode called LEAPS is the one in which Michael became a stepfather and we are lucky to be taken through a tour of his stepdad story blueprint.

He bravely shows his story of growth and also challenges listeners to embrace the rollercoaster of fatherhood with mindfulness, radical honesty and a big dose of humour.

Fiona Demark - Motivational Speaker, Life and Career Coach, Inclusion and Diversity Speaker

I am Fiona Demark, an inspirational speaker and life coach who moves participants from not achieving the results they are capable of, to inspiring positive change in both your professional and personal lives. I provide practical strategies that make a lifelong impact upon participants.

Over the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of working with people to gain focus and step into their own power. My real world examples of overcoming adversity and building resilience place me in perfect stead to share tools with others to build personal resources and inspiration to reach their goals.

What makes me unique and stand out from every other executive trainer and keynote speakers, is that I am legally blind. Having a disability since birth has taught me that life can be a challenge, but ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’. By meeting challenges head on and constantly stepping outside my comfort zone I have built resilience and learned how to keep moving forward through adversity.

I would love to share this knowledge with you and look forward to speaking with you further about how we can work together to make this happen.

Michelle Roberton - Bodywork Therapist, Energy Healer, Intuitive and Sexual Trauma Counsellor

Michelle has shared her work with many, for 19 years, specialising in Sexual Trauma & Intimacy as a Tantric educator, body worker and counsellor for adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse.

Her passion stems from her own journey of discovering the medicine in the poison as she set it upon herself to reclaim her body, her breath, her sexuality and sensuality and express that in new, life enriching ways.

Michelle very much believes that our mind can only take us so far into any release of body trauma and healing of our sexuality. The discovery of who we authentically are is not hidden in our thoughts but in the sensuality and home of our body.

Her touch has been described by many as her gift to others. Her gentle, authentically honest & calming approach, a comforting breath of fresh air.

Michelle is a mamma to four superstar fully fledged children and lives in the colourful, vibrant city of Brighton.

----

“I believe there is no greater wisdom or compassion than experience.

No intellect can guide us where it has not been. At the tender age of 49 and what appears many lifetimes later, I am not sure there is any life situation I cannot empathise with.

Life has taught me well with its tapestry of colours…

From a childhood of sexual abuse, anorexia, to drugs, to homelessness, to the loss of a son, from life threatening illness to near a death experience, from marriage to single parent hood, to the loss of both breasts.

But I sit here, writing to you hand on my heart, knowing I would not change a nano second of this life. It has shaped me into this woman who longs to guide you into your sensual aliveness and a life that deliciously keeps unfolding, as you step free from all that you were designed to be and responsibly own all that you authentically are.

I am passionate about my “work” & “souly” committed to guiding others to reclaim and trust the world of body, sensation, intimacy and love, so they may connect with their “sex” & “own” its limitless power in a healthy, sacred way.

Uniting sexuality, spirituality, body & mind so that sex becomes a sharing of fullness that “spills” in rich abundance into all areas of life. No more separate pieces of who you are.

I deeply care about the “future of sex” for not only us but our children. I believe we deserve to know & trust, our bodies, touch & intimacy. We deserve to know our sex as our limitless potential. We deserve sacred relationships.

I believe it is time to evolve beyond what keeps us “small”, into the undeniable, indefinable connection between who we are ~ love, body, sex & life around us.”
