The two paths in life

In this very first episode of the rebranded podcast to...The Guided Podcast, we’re diving into the deep, tender space of self-perception and reminding you of one important truth: you are not a failure. Whether you’re feeling stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are—with compassion, reflection, and guidance.

Together, we’ll explore how to reframe the stories we’ve been told (or told ourselves), and begin to root back into our worth, purpose, and personal power. You’ll leave feeling more seen, more supported, and more connected to your inner guidance.

✨ Let’s remember: your journey isn’t linear, and your growth is always unfolding in divine timing.

011 - You Are Not A Failure

Here it is: the story of how this whole curiosity enterprise came to be and some of the many insights I’ve picked up along the way -- with a little timely bias for all things peace and conflict-transformation related.

For those of you who are new, this is how it all began! For those who have been around a while, here's the origin story, plus some of the challenges and glory of which you've been such an important part. I'm hoping there's something here for everyone.

Ep. #282: Choose to Be Curious: Lessons Learned

What if the only thing standing between you and your biggest goals… is your brain?

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by John Assaraf — brain expert, entrepreneur, and star of The Secret — to explore how to rewire your brain for next-level success and finally break free from the patterns keeping you stuck.

Tune in to discover: why procrastination isn’t laziness (and what it actually reveals about your mindset), how mental rehearsal can fast-track your success, his genius strategy for dissolving limiting beliefs, the mindset shifts that separate thriving entrepreneurs from struggling ones, and the simple “life blueprint” that helps turn big dreams into reality.

So if you’re tired of feeling like your brain is sabotaging your progress — and you’re ready to get it working for you instead of against you — then press play now… this one’s for you!

JSSR - LIFE LESSONS

What does it really take to build a successful business while staying true to yourself, especially as a mama?

In this special episode, I’m sitting down with the incredible Cait Scudder… but I’m on the other side of the mic! 

If you haven’t had the pleasure of crossing paths with Cait before, you’re in for a treat. She is a wildly talented interviewer with a true gift for drawing out little-known insights from her subjects, which is why I couldn’t resist sharing this conversation with you.

In it, you’ll hear me share the raw, behind-the-scenes truth of my journey — from building a business in alignment with my values, to embracing the ebbs and flows of motherhood, and navigating the ever-evolving seasons of life.

Tune in to learn: the power of detoxing what no longer serves you, honouring your season (and trusting that nothing is permanent), why going off the path might be the most powerful move you can make, how motherhood reshaped my business, the link between vitality and postpartum depression, and the “needs matrix” that can revolutionise your family’s emotional wellbeing.

So if you’re building a business, a family, or simply a life that feels good in your bones, then press play now… This one’s for you!

659: The Millionaire Mama Blueprint (& What No One Tells You)

On this episode of Big Blend Radio’s SUCCESS EXPRESS Business & Career Show, Lea Brovedani, internationally known as “The Trust Architect,” debunks some of the most common myths about trust and reveals how these misconceptions may be holding you back.

What if trust isn't just a feeling—but a series of behaviors, choices, and shared values? In this empowering conversation, Lea explores the multifaceted nature of trust, offering practical strategies for building and rebuilding it in both personal and professional relationships. You'll learn how emotional intelligence, effective communication, and incremental actions all play a critical role in developing lasting trust.

🔑 Key Takeaways:
• Trust is an outcome of behaviors, not a given.
• It can be lost quickly—but rebuilt over time.
• Trust exists in areas, not as an all-or-nothing concept.
• Expectations, communication, and shared values are foundational.
• Leadership and competence are essential for workplace trust.
• Past experiences and gut instincts influence how we trust.
• Rebuilding trust requires consistent, committed effort.

Lea Brovedani has been named one of North America’s Top Thought Leaders on Trust by Trust Across America. She’s an author, speaker, and workshop facilitator. Her books include:
📘 Trust Me: Restore Belief & Confidence in an Uncertain World
📘 TRUSTED – Secret Lessons from an Inspired Leader

Busting Trust Myths with Lea Brovedani

A protest song - in UK,  since 1997,  all of the basic lessons on how to live have been lost. The lyrics reference part of the problems. This is more hip-hop in style than a basic electronic song. Words put to a soundscape.

Our Worst Strength with Dr. James F. Richardson

Originally from the Wirral (OMD land!), I now live in London. Almost all of my career was in IT, Project Management and lack of time and technology meant I never really pursued a music career. The lockdown and technology advances have meant I could teach myself and learn to compose songs. I don’t like to stick to one genre but rather try and ‘parody’ styles. Some melodies have been in my head for years and in some cases words have changed over the years. My aim is really to creat a ‘potpourri’ of sounds such that someone somewhere will enjoy something on here!!!!

I also create videos for my songs and for other artists . Same name on YouTube. 

If anyone likes a song/instrumental enough to want to use it (even if it means re-recording it yourself) feel free to contact me here. 

Stay safe.
