Mindset – Steven Bartlett
A successful young entrepreneur set up a podcast called ‘The Diary of a CEO’ in 2017 where he read out his diary and tried to make sense of the world through sharing his thoughts with others.
The podcast has grown exponentially since then and now Steven interviews some of the biggest stars in the world to find out what the secret to life is.
The podcast is raw and vulnerable and will change your life because Steven does an amazing job at creating a safe environment for the guests.
I stumbled across the podcast on a long-haul British Airways flight to Jamaica and in the episode I watched he was interviewing the music producer Labrinth. From that moment on, I was hooked.
Check out The Diary of a CEO website and YouTube channel for more information.
Authenticity and Purpose – Jay Shetty
Jay Shetty is a household name on the internet so you have most probably heard of him already. The monk turned business guru, author, mindfulness coach and host of the number 1 health podcast, On Purpose.
He’s interviewed some of the world’s most influential famous people such as Kim Kardashian, Will Smith and Oprah Winfrey. His interview topics dive into the fundamental questions of what it means to be human and how to live a purposeful life.

Holistic psychology – Dr Nicole Lepera
Dr. Lepera became interested in the world of holistic psychology while working as a Clinical Psychologist. She was frustrated with the methods of traditional psychotherapy and wanted to discover a more comprehensive method for treating her patients.
Thus, the Holistic Psychologist was born.
I highly recommend her book ‘How to do the work’ as it is filled with practical tools that will empower you to heal yourself. If you are prone to repeating cycles of self-sabotage then this book is especially for you.
Check out The Holistic Psychologist website for more information and to find out about her latest books and podcasts.
Vulnerability – Brene Brown
Brene Brown will teach you how to master one of life’s most difficult skills – vulnerability. She is a best-selling author and world-renowned speaker on top of being a research professor at the University of Houston.
She has spent the past 2 decades researching vulnerability, shame and empathy – all key components to living an authentic life and connecting with partners, friends, children and co-workers.
Check out her website to find out more information and also have a look at her inspiring Ted Talk on vulnerability here.
I love how her message is to keep it ‘awkward, brave and kind’ because we all know vulnerability is not easy!
Productivity and habits – James clear
I like to think of James Clear as The Habit King because the moment anyone mentions habits his name is the first one that pops up. Atomic Habits is the number 1 go-to book on habit setting and at this point pretty much exists in all bookshops.
His book has changed many lives and is a classic that will be read many times over. The goal is to get 1% better every single day by breaking bad habits and sticking to good habits.
Check out James Clear’s website to find out more information about Atomic Habits.
Relationships and attachment styles – Thais Gibson
Thais Gibson is a psychotherapist and attachment coach who specialises in helping people heal from attachment trauma so that they can have fulfilling secure romantic relationships.
To find out your attachment style, try out her quiz – are you secure, anxious, fearful avoidant or dismissive avoidant? Her membership programme is comprehensive and helps individuals move from an insecure attachment style to securely attached.

Feminine wellbeing – Elicia Goguen
Elicia Goguen is a mental health and women’s wellness influencer who has recently blown up on YouTube and TikTok. She creates motivational content to inspire women to be the healthiest and most driven version of themselves.

Self-expression – Jordan Thornton
Jordan Thornton is a holistic wellbeing life coach and mentor. He has a smooth, calm demeanour and a talent for breaking down complicated psychological and philosophical theories into manageable chunks.
He has read over 600 self-development books and is highly self-aware which is evident in his content. His content focuses on self-knowledge, self-healing and self-expression.
I discovered his YouTube channel a few months ago when I was researching authentic movement (a type of dance therapy – check it out and let me know what you think).
