"Sitting on my kayak, I felt brave. When filled with fear on a daily basis, feeling brave can be alien."
I first came across Anna Britton when she was in the Guardian feature, A Moment That Changed Me, talking about kayaking and her PTSD. She wrote;
Sitting on my kayak, I felt brave. When filled with fear on a daily basis, feeling brave can be alien. It takes courage to work against our fears, but there is always a little voice inside my head telling me that it can’t really be counted as bravery if you are doing things that other people don’t even think twice about.’ But that solitary moment was different. I had done something that other people would find challenging or even scary. I had been objectively brave.
Anna Britton is the author of recently published Close to the Edge, the second in the crime series from her debut novel, Shot in the Dark, which was out in 2023. She is an experienced freelance editor, loves mentoring other writers and is host of the podcast ‘Rejected Writers Club’. She writes crime thrillers and is currently working on the third in the Martin and Stern series.
She also self publishes Romance Fiction under the name Annie Bennet - https://anniebennet.co.uk/
Anna lives on the Isle of Wight, where she enjoys rambling walks with her chronically clumsy labrador and exploring rivers in her kayak.

Wendy Pratt is a poet, creative non fiction author and editor living on the North Yorkshire coast.
In this episode we talk about navigating the loss of her daughter, infertility, the sense of not belonging, nature and her journey as a working class writer.
Her non fiction nature/landscape memoir The Ghost Lake, was long listed for the Nan Shepherd prize in 2021. The Ghost Lake is inspired by paleolake Flixton, an extinct lake in North Yorkshire.
In the book Wendy brings the reader on a pilgrimage around the ghost lake, to locations that have acted as journey markers in her own life. While traversing forests and fenland, she reflects on the process of finding belonging in nature as a woman who exists in a series of liminal spaces – as a working-class writer, an infertile woman in a fertile world and a bereaved mother in a society focused on children.

Wendy is the author of six poetry collections including When I Think of My Body as a Horse. Her next collection, Blackbird Singing at Dusk will be published by Nine Arches Press in 2024.

Do one day you feel like you are on top of the world, and yet one day feel overwhelmed by life and everything you are expected to deal with? Did you know that this when you are overdrawn in your emotional overdraft?
Andy Brown - the author of Amazon Number one bestseller, "The Emotional Overdraft: 10 simple changes for balancing business success and wellbeing” explains all on this not-to-miss episode.
We talk about:
What your emotional overdraft is and how it can deplete your resilience
Guilt as an impact on resilience
Change your resilience by changing habits - but don't worry, there are no 5am gym and journalling sessions here
How we can measure and spot habits in our emotional spending...
Why the Lone Ranger needed to delegate and sort out those systems..
Andy is also a podcast host, leadership coach and award-winning advisor with over 30 years’ experience.
Andy wrote his book after hundreds of conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs and founders – all of which pointed to the fact that every single one of them was – to some extent or another - subsidising their success at the cost of their own physical or mental wellbeing, what he calls their ‘emotional overdraft’. Andy believes the currency of an emotional overdraft is resilience. The longer and deeper you are overdrawn, the less resilient you become, which leads to stress, overwhelm and burnout.
Andy is here to help us get out of our overdraft and stay out of it more often!

"I wrote a blog post, a few years ago, called two fingers up narcissistic sociopath. And then I rewrote it a few years later, with a thank you narcissistic sociopaths, because I was like, I wouldn't be here if I hadn't been through those experiences, and I love where I am now."
What does our breath rate have to do with resilience? What does working with our natural energies look like? How do we find peace without justice?

When we feel at rock bottom, how do we pull ourselves back up?
Jo Moseley, 59, is a single Mum of two grown up sons living on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales.
Alongside a lovely day job, Jo is a bestselling author, podcaster and award winning tiny filmmaker.
Jo talks about some of the difficult moments in her life, when she has been forced to be brave, and how she has overcome stereotypes about what women her age should be doing, and how she wrote a bestselling book.
In 2019 Jo became the first woman to SUP (stand up paddleboard) 162 miles coast to coast from Liverpool to Goole, picking up litter and fundraising. A film about her adventure called Brave Enough - A Journey Home to Joy by award winning filmmaker Frit Tam has been selected for prestigious film festivals such as Kendal Mountain Film Festival & Shextreme plus sell out online screenings.
The lessons learned from the challenge and her podcast The Joy of SUP - the Paddleboarding Sunshine Podcast gave Jo the confidence to pitch her first book in 2020 during lockdown.
In spring 2021 she travelled the country with her board Grace meeeting inspiring paddleboarders, sleeping on the beach as the sun set in Scotland, watching dolphins and huge jellyfish in Wales and enjoying urban paddles in Liverpool, Bristol and London.
As a result, in 2022 her first bestselling book Stand Up Paddleboarding in Great Britain - Beautiful Places to Paddleboard in England, Scotland and Wales was published by award winning Vertebrate Publishing. It is the first and currently only Great Britain wide travel guide dedicated to paddleboarding.
After the success of SUP Great Britain, she was invited to write a guide to beautiful places to paddleboard in the Lake District. Her second book Stand Up Paddleboarding in the Lake District will be published in May 2024.
Jo loves sharing the joy of fresh air, hiking, dipping in the sea and lakes as well as beach cleaning. She has a “headstand a day until I’m 60” practice and is learning to skateboard.
