Be More Human: Be More YOU!
01/29/25 • 60 min
Today's episode is a great big dose of happiness and positivity with the wonderful Joanne Bonnett. One that will set you up for the day with a big smile on your face!
Joanne (aka JoBo!) is a multi-talented force of nature, with a mission to help people thrive by truly being who they were created to be. In this upbeat conversation, we explore Jo's journey from a corporate marketing background to a fulfilling career working with The Enneagram. We discuss the impact of cancer on Joanne's family, the importance of celebrating life and birthdays, and the challenges of overcoming people-pleasing! She shares insights on setting boundaries and 'The Art of Saying No!', emphasising the need for self-care and loving kindness.
Joanne introduces us to The Enneagram - an easy to access yet powerful way to explore your unique perspective on all areas of life. In a deep and holistic way it shines a light into the many ways we show up in the world: in our relationships, families, teams & communities.
We talk about our desire to embrace authenticity and self-discovery, sharing personal stories and insights from Joanne's journey with The Enneagram and her late ADHD diagnosis. Our conversation culminates in a heartfelt message about self-acceptance and the value of being true to oneself.
About Joanne
Joanne has always been fascinated by seeking out that special something that shines in each of us. Now her work with The Enneagram brings joy - especially when she sees how self-awareness and acceptance can light a spark of hope in individuals and teams.
The Enneagram is a powerful resource and illuminates the deep motivations behind how and why you think, feel and act the way you do: what drives you, triggers you, keeps you stuck or moves you forward.
Understanding The Enneagram can bring compassion, curiosity and deeper connection in our relationships. We benefit personally, professionally and spiritually from a more rounded, holistic view of how we (and others) see the world.

Self-Care for Winter with Suzy Reading
Do you find winter hard? Do you suffer with SAD or just get those January blues and can’t wait for it to be summertime again? Well, this is a lovely warm hug of an episode just for you!
In this life-affirming conversation with Suzy Reading, we explore the importance of self-care during the winter months and how to embrace winter as a wonderful, nurturing season, not just a season to ‘get through’.
Talking around Suzy’s latest book, Self-Care for Winter, we discuss the concept of wintering through self-care, its significance for mental and emotional health, and introduce a framework of seven gentle steps to nurture oneself through the challenges of winter. The discussion emphasises the need for connection with nature and ‘awe hunting’, the importance of comforting rituals and community, as well as the value of reflection as a means to foster well-being during the colder, darker months. Suzy demonstrates some practical exercises that take just moments to do but will completely lift your day.
Suzy’s concept of ‘Gentle January’ is a balanced approach to post-holiday wellness that ensures you are looking after yourself during the winter months and investing in your future self whilst doing so.

Standing Tall with Abby Dufficy
In this uplifting episode, I sit down with my incredible sister, Abby Dufficy, to discuss her inspiring journey from struggling with her height to embracing it and creating a global community of tall women.
Growing up 6’1” from her early teens, Abby faced bullying and often felt isolated due to her height. She shares how this led her to keep herself and her life small for years, trying to avoid attention. But now, in her midlife, she’s rewriting the narrative. Abby opens up about how she found the courage to embrace her uniqueness, build a thriving online community for tall women, and launch her own clothing brand, Olim London, designed specifically to empower and celebrate tall women.
We dive into the challenges Abby faced in finding clothing that fit, the pivotal moment that inspired her to design her own pieces, and the joy she’s found in creating a supportive space where tall women can connect and share their stories. Abby’s journey is a testament to the power of owning your story, celebrating what makes you unique, and using your voice to inspire others.
Whether you’re tall, know someone who is, or just love stories of transformation and empowerment, this episode is packed with heartfelt moments, relatable experiences, and Abby’s contagious enthusiasm for life and fashion.
Takeaways:
- Embrace what makes you unique instead of trying to hide it.
- Build a supportive community to connect with others who share your experiences.
- Turn personal challenges into opportunities for creativity and growth.
- Celebrate your individuality—it can become your greatest strength.
- Use your voice to inspire and empower others who feel isolated or unseen.
- Invest in yourself by pursuing a dream that solves a problem you’ve experienced.
- Confidence comes from owning your story, not from conforming to others’ expectations
