Alan Cheng never thought he would have a career in teaching due to his lack of confidence. After finishing University, Alan decided to take a gap year and figure out his purpose in life. He travelled to China from the UK and took a job teaching English to Chinese students.
Although he had not intended to pursue a career in teaching, he fell in love with it and continued teaching when he returned to the UK.

Alan feels that teachers in the UK are not supported enough, and consequently, there is a large drop-off in first-year teachers. 'The chance to help people feels precious to me', Alan said, so he became a certified life coach for teachers. Alan is one of only a few teacher coaches currently.

As well as teaching and coaching, Alan also has a podcast called 'Ordinary Teachers and Students' so that he can expand his help to teachers and students across the world.

Imagine you are in the last stages of your life, reminiscing on your life and all you have achieved. Unfortunately, you come up short. There are so many things left on your list that you wanted to do, but somehow, they were left undone.

This scenario happens all over the world. We reach the end of life with regrets over things we never did.

Helen saw this when she sat with her late mother in the hospital. When Helen left the hospital that day, she decided to change her life. She decided to become the main character in her life story.

According to today's guest, Ezra Sinclair, even when you don't feel confident, you can appear confident just by changing how you sit or stand.

Ezra Sinclair is a life coach for people looking to grow in their business or career.
Trained by Rob Dial and certified by Jay Shetty, Ezra has knowledge and insights on body language and mindset management.

Our conversation looks at the importance of noticing how you are standing or sitting, as this helps to develop a confident mindset.
During our conversation, Ezra shares practical advice on mindset. He believes in focusing on what you 'get' to do in your daily life rather than what you 'have' to do. These small changes, he suggests, can help build your confidence and bring more purpose into your life.

Science used to believe that once we reached adulthood, our character was set for life.
With the advances in brain scanning, scientists now know that the brain is malleable.
This means that we can change aspects of our character and build new neural pathways.

In this solo episode, I am looking at neuroscientist, Tara Swarks 6 ways of thinking and how they correlate to mastering our confidence.

Tara Swark is a neuroscientist, psychologist, life coach and author of 'The Source: Open Your Mind, Change Your Life.'

We have a shorter solo episode this week based on an article I wrote for Medium.com
: https://medium.com/publishous/i-wish-i-had-understood-stress-and-gratitude-when-i-worked-full-time-2567bf1b72c2?sk=b044d056a47c45104e6315be708ecc8a

Do you struggle with stress?
Research has shown that stress in pregnancy can be passed on to a baby and can affect children's emotional health in adult life.

Emily Fletcher, a renowned figure in the field of meditation and the founder of Diva Meditation, has described gratitude as a natural antidepressant.
After focusing on gratitude for the last two months, I think this is true.
I feel much calmer and less overwhelmed.

Kirk Mosna is one-half of 'The Divorce Workshop', and the other half is Karen Omand, who was my guest in March for the episode 'Failed Dreams and Hopes'.

Driven by his love for problem-solving, Kirk was determined to make his divorce a swift, simple, and painless process for all parties involved. However, despite his best intentions, he was blindsided by his ex's attempt to alienate his two sons.

This got me thinking: why do we talk about 'failed' marriages and 'broken homes'?
Should we feel guilty, hurt and let down, or just accept that we have grown apart?

Kirk and Karen set up 'The Divorce Workshop' to help couples through the divorce process.

#Trigger Warning#
There is mention of sexual abuse and drug use in this episode.

It took a long time for Jorge to find his way back to the light, but he has made it.
Now, he wants to use his story to help others heal their trauma.

Abused by a female family member at a very young age, Jorge's start in life was awful.
He ran away from home to fulfil his dream of becoming a dancer. Unfortunately, he was too young and broken to cope. He turned to drugs, nightlife and abusive relationships.

In 2019, Jorge realised he was at rock bottom in his life. He had to find the strength to heal. The Universe sent him Claudia Marquez. She became his friend and life coach. Jorges healing journey began.

Jorge has been learning about the ACE Quiz—Adverse Childhood Experiences—and wants to spread the word about how it can help.
