Marking 10 years in business, Elain Crewe, founder of Wellbeing4Life, shares how her darkest moments in the workplace took her on the path to a life balanced and fulfilled
01/06/25 • 43 min
Elain candidly and honestly shares her journey of her downward spiral in terms of mental health. She neither recognised the signs nor had the toolkit to deal with the symptoms. It completely transformed her perspective on work-related breakdowns. Once she’d sought help she took the brave decision to set up a business to help others and this month celebrates 10 years in business.
Within 2 days of the pandemic her phone didn’t stop and she hasn’t looked back since and it’s clear she has an absolute passion to make a difference so that others don’t endure the same as she did. “I am an expert in me” not someone seeking to perpetually please nor strive for perfection.
Elain’s what 3 words to a road to happiness and balance:
· BALANCE
· BRAVE
· FAITH
Tune in to find out why
Her book that she would take into isolation turned out to be the one that got her through lockdown – A Trip of One Zone, by Kate Willis.

Multi-award businesswoman and coach Zoe Hawkins on work-life balance, flexible working and leadership styles in the post-pandemic workplace
We’re all aware of how working arrangements have changed for most since 2020. How do businesses get the balance right between serving their people and what’s best for the business? What are the new skills needed to manage flexible working and the surge in online communications?
These are the topics covered in this latest episode with Zoe Hawkins, co- founder of In Good Company, a global triple accredited Coaching Training Organisation, Facebook community group, The Coaching Crowd, that’s got just under 6500 members, and their No. 1 podcast of the same name that releases fresh insights every Monday since it launched in November 2021.
We also asked Zoe for her what 3 words to a road to happiness and in true authentic style we ended up with 6!
· LOVE
· PASSION
· FUN
· LISTEN
· CHOOSE
· GRATITUDE
The book choice that Zoe chose was a first – Wagamama’s cookery book – that Zoe would take into isolation.
