What's Your Story? A podcast series exploring the everyday extraordinary.

Hello! My name is Melissa and Welcome to “What’s Your Story; a podcast series exploring the everyday extraordinary.
With a deep appreciation for the power of human connection, I cherish the opportunity to lend an empathic ear to heartfelt stories. As a Northern Irish woman and proud Mum, I’ve navigated through the ebbs and flows of life, experiencing both love and loss. Throughout this podcasting journey, I’ll weave tales of resilience, sharing the profound lessons and moments of inspiration that have shaped my own path.
In this podcast series we will be delving into the extraordinary lives that often remain hidden in the shadows, as we uncover the captivating stories of those who have ventured into the depths of love, danced with the exhilaration of adventure and triumphed over adversity.
Through heartfelt conversations, and immersive storytelling we bring these hidden narratives to light, revealing the beauty, and unwavering spirit that lies within each unique tale. Join me as we dive deep into the human experience, revealing the triumphs, challenges, and transformative moments that have moulded the lives of our guests. I believe that everyone has a story worth sharing, and by amplifying these voices, we inspire connection, empathy, and a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.
Whether you’re seeking inspiration, a sense of adventure, or a new perspective on life, my aim is to uncover the extraordinary within the ordinary. Let these stories ignite your imagination, stir your heart, and leave a lasting impact on your own journey through life.
Expect a weekly dose of episodes, accompanied by occasional shorter yet equally uplifting minisodes. The first episode lands on 13th November, and I’d love for you to join me.

Episode 10 !!!!
I am joined this week by Hannah Corscadden.
Hannah is a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist who uses a holistic approach to maximise a person's health potential. Holistic meaning the whole being of a person; to include their emotions, energy, physical & mental health, diet, lifestyle and social factors which all coherently play a vital role in an individual's health.
Hannah is the founder of Tranquil Health. In 2016 she experienced a Reiki treatment for the first time when she was pregnant and working in a stressful job in a bank. Shortly after Hannah had a healing crisis when her body began to expel toxins into different systems of the body, releasing suppressed emotions from trauma she experienced in her childhood, which then led her to study Naturopathic Nutritional medicine.
In this episode we discuss the Gut/Brain connection and how it impacts our mental health. We talk Women's hormones and how the contraceptive pill can drastically impact the mind, body & overall health.

She began her career in Health as a Pilates Instructor, using the practice to rehabilitate 10-years of chronic back pain. It wasn't long before her passion for the mind and spirituality took her deeper, to an awareness of the powerful messages our bodies hold and the criticality of healing what lives beneath. From there, multiple trainings in mindfulness, meditation, psychological enhancement and coaching - to where she now stands, a devoted guide to others on the journey to freedom.
"I have always been fascinated by people’s stories - the blueprint of history, biology and beliefs that bring them to the lives they live. And, deeply motivated to foster their growth; in whatever way, whatever form is most critical to the realisation of their bigger dream."

This is a richly-filled episode of such juicy topics! Anthea shares how her journey to chronic pain led her to become an Embodiment Practitioner and the many challenges that arose along the way. Topics we discuss include;
