Secrets For An Inspirational Life With Mimi Novic

In today’s episode I talk to Becky Aste. Becky is a trauma-informed marriage coach and the host of the podcast Your Breakthrough Blueprint. She is the CEO of “I Do Breakthrough”, a company dedicated to equipping wives to repair their connections in their marriage by moving trauma out of the body. After spending many years researching and going through every mainstream modality of healing to save her own marriage, she found herself after two children, separated from her husband. At the final hour, she stumbled upon the unconventional game changer of somatic work that took her marriage from dying to thriving in less than a year. Becky says that whether it’s betrayal, addiction, abandonment, abuse, neglect, grief or something else we’ve survived, our body keeps the score and can become an unconscious emotional block to the connections in our lives. Becky talks about the importance of the relationship that we have with ourselves and how it affects every contact we have with others. We discuss the importance of clearing trauma in the body and mind in order to achieve healing on a deeper level and allow ourselves to have more meaningful relationships.

In today’s episode I talk to the well known British actor and writer Eddie Webber. Eddie’s childhood began on the working-class streets of south east London in the 60s and 70s. His journey wasn’t an easy one with many twists and turns throughout. One event that changed him forever, was being wrongly accused of a series of serious crimes, something that haunted him for a long time. His past has been colourful and interesting. From going to live in a kibbutz in Israel, to enrolling in drama school to becoming a born-again Christian and battling substance abuse on and off for years, before getting his big break in Nick Love’s The Business. Since then Eddie has graced the red carpet for films such as The Firm and Rise of the Footsoldier, the ever popular TV series Eastenders and other popular series and films of modern times. He has worked with some of the most well known film directors and actors throughout his career. He has written two books one being his autobiography called Hi Diddle Dee Dee and a book on meditation. He is a passionate advocate of Sri Ramana Maharshi’s teachings and it’s this way of a contemplative life that has led him to embrace a life of spiritual awareness and gain peace. Eddie talks with deep rawness and refreshing honesty about the intricacy of the human soul and his turmoil, enlightenment and rise to be a huge success, despite the battles in attaining equilibrium. An incredible story that is revealing and yet touching in many ways, showing how courage and strength elevates even the most difficult of destines.

In today’s episode I talk to Justine Garratt. Justine is the founder of Santerpaws Bulgarian Dog Rescue. Justine was brought up in the Cornish countryside surrounded by a variety of animals. Brought up in the seventies, she enjoyed the life of freedom, and making the most of these times, being out in the evenings and making tree houses, yet as she got older with little prospects of a decent job in Cornwall at that time, she looked at the police force and the prison service, applied for both but chose to pursue a career in the prison service. Her entire professional life was within the prison service, and in 2013 she took early retirement. She says she always imagined when she left the prison service that she would leave the UK and start afresh somewhere abroad. When she finally left her job she departed for Bulgaria, with all her belongings in the back of a horse box, and her three dogs. After three weeks of working on her new home, she took some rubbish to the local skip and inside found six newborn puppies. She decided that they couldn’t be left there and brought them home. After that incident, the locals started to dump puppies on her doorstep, throwing them over her hedge, knowing she would look after them and after a year, while talking to her friend in the UK, she asked her how she would feel about setting up a charity, and so Santerpaws was born. The establishment has the capacity to house one hundred and fifty dogs, and roughly always has at least fifty animals waiting to come in. They have homed almost seven thousand dogs in ten years. Justine talks about some of the terrible conditions that the dogs she rescues arrive in and how she and her team help to find them their forever homes, some of them having been neglected for years For more information on Santerpaws and their work visit: https://santerpawsbulgarianrescue.com/ For more information on Mimi Novic visit: https://www.miminovic.co.uk
