Hold On Pain Ends: Naomi Gilmour: Motivational Speaker, Business Woman and Suicide Prevention Advocate
If you are lucky enough to live into mid-life and beyond, you will likely have experienced some profound loss. My guest this week, Naomi Gilmour, has taken the brave step of facing the debilitating grief of loss and, in the process, rebuilt her sense of self and now shares her learnings with others.
Before we recorded this week’s episode Naomi and I went for an early morning dip in a lake. It was pouring with rain, but a beautiful rainbow lit the sky when the clouds parted. Rainbows are especially symbolic for Naomi, and we both believed that the spirit of her beloved brother, Nick was there with us at that moment.
Please put your hand on your heart and allow yourself a slither of happiness as you listen to Naomi’s story.
Naomi and I discuss
How diversity and loss have shaped Naomi’s understanding of her purpose
- Stripping back the layers to recover a sense of self and heal.
- How Inner work has connected to who Naomi is, what she is here to be and what brings her joy and making no apology for this.
- Finding purpose in pain and creating an impact.
The Importance of being alone and cultivating inner peace
- Loneliness; learning to be alone and silence the mind.
- The importance of stepping back
- Making time to reframe work
- The fear of what people think and getting over external judgement and validation.
- The importance of self and inner peace and how looking to the outside won't make you happy.
- Being happy in the moment.
Slithers of Happiness
- The joy of small signs in day-to-day life
- Enjoying micro-moments
- Anchoring into things.
Anchoring
- Feeling comfortable in uncertain times.
- Dropping anchor to stabilise yourself and looking towards a lighthouse.
- Using a token to remind us that everything is always in flux, and this too shall pass.
The Significance of Your Hands
- Our hands have been with us for a lifetime.
- Naomi's definition of hope - Hold On Pain Ends.
- How to drink life whilst it's fizzy.

An early memory of a cruel teacher left me dreading the thought of ever trying to create an artwork.
Meeting Kate Hughes and attending one of her art classes changed my mind, so I was delighted when she agreed to be a guest on this podcast.
I thought our conversation would revolve around how she escaped the restraints of school teaching and smoothly moved to create her art studio, but it proved to be so much more.
Kate talks movingly about how being prescribed the mini pill after the birth of her second child led her to suffer debilitating depression and anxiety. She had to leave her teaching job and relocate to Manchester. Throughout her suffering, she trusted her innate bravery and focused on creating art.
Kate happened to see a Facebook post where she learned that one of the side effects of the mini-pill was depression. Within days of coming off the medication, Kate regained her health.
She uses her energy to share her love of art with others.
Her classes are both energizing and cathartic, and if you can get to her Manchester studio, I urge you to sign up. After all, if Anne Can ........

Finding Purpose in Business
This is the first podcast I ever recorded.
Gib Bulloch consults, writes and speaks on a range of topics relating to the role of business in society. His first book: “The Intrapreneur: Confessions of a Corporate Insurgent” (2018) is a personal story of his 15-year journey to create and scale Accenture’s global "not-for-loss" consulting business.
Gib believes passionately in the power of business to change the world and in the power of the individual to change the world of business and he is in the process of creating a business ‘decelerator’ on the Isle of Bute in Scotland where he was born.
Two years ago I heard the inspirational Gib Bulloch speak at a conference in Singapore. I was interested in starting a podcast but at the time had not actually recorded any episodes.
I didn’t know Gib but with help from Martin Ryan plucked up the courage to speak to him after his talk and with huge grace, Gib agreed to record a podcast in the only 30 minutes he had free the next day.
So why has it taken two years for me to publish our episode?
Mainly because of a crisis of confidence which stopped me recording anything.
This year I started the Our Community podcast and when I re-listened to this conversation I was stunned by the relevancy of the content. In life, things sometimes unfold at the right time and the time to hear Gib’s wise perspective about community is certainly now.
We talk about being part of a remote rural community on the isle of Bute and civic engagement; following your purpose inside big business; asking deeper questions and following your heart; conquering your fears and facing mental illness; Gib’s dream of a rural business decelerator and the probability of location independence and global economic affordability.
Huge thank you to Gib and to Martin Ryan.

OC28: Community: Building on the Experiences of 2020 with Diana Wu David
Diana Wu David is a strategist, innovator, entrepreneur and the author of Future Proof Reinventing Work in the Age of Acceleration. Her diverse global career includes assisting Henry Kissinger and leading executive education initiatives for the Financial Times. A super-connector of people and sought after speaker, Diana lives in Hong Kong.
Diana likens the experience of 2020 to training at high altitude. We have all accelerated, learned a lot about ourselves and are poised to put that learning into good use in 2021.
Diana believes the experience of 2020 has elevated the importance of community. As jobs become more transient the need to invest in a community with longevity is increasingly vital. Community helps us craft our own story, try something out before launching to a wider body, celebrate wins and know there are others who will look out for us.
Diana explores her experience of cultivating and contributing to a successful community. She says building community takes time; there has to be a common purpose; members must contribute and champion the concept. In time the community will take on its own form and direction without the need for the originator to constantly broadcast.
Diana believes that semi-private professional networks will grow and become an increasingly important part of building a successful professional life. Building a web of support which is separate from an employer.
Diana draws on her experience with the Kissinger Institute and how this taught her the value of connection, how to learn through people, and the importance of character.
Diana leaves us with three areas of our lives to consider as we start 2021
Vitality: both physical and mental
Connection: Investing in meaningful relationships
Contribution: professional and community
Having something to look forward to in each of these areas will set us up for a successful and fulfilling year.
A huge thank you for listening and wishing all of you a very happy, healthy and hopeful 2021!
