About this listen

 Hi there, I'm so excited to share this week's episode — it’s a good one! This time, I’m joined by the incredibly inspiring Dr. Anna York-Weaving, a Cambridge PhD scientist, academic coach, podcaster, and fellow lifelong learner. Anna's passion for learning and growth is contagious, and I just knew I had to bring her on to share her real-life experience and wisdom with our community. In this insightful conversation, Anna shares her journey from growing up in Ukraine to earning a scholarship to study in the UK — eventually achieving her childhood dream of studying at Cambridge. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing [is it ever?!] She opens up about her early struggles at university, how she overcame failure, and the pivotal moment she decided to transform not just her results but her entire approach to learning. Here’s what you’ll take away from this episode: How to learn smarter, not harder — and why reviewing information matters more than cramming it in. The power of visualisation and writing down your dreams — with a surprising story involving one of my books! Why setbacks are not failures but stepping stones to your future strengths. How to build habits like morning rituals that support your dream life (even with toddlers in tow!). It's an episode full of practical strategies, inspiring mindset shifts, and warm encouragement. If you're feeling a little stuck or unsure of your next step, Anna’s story will give you a beautiful nudge forward. Tune in — and let’s keep dreaming big, together. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in.
