In this week’s episode, we’re joined by Shelley Wilson for a deeply inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and finding the courage to begin again. Shelley shares how life led her down an unexpected path — from leaving an abusive relationship, to navigating a career pivot after a poisonous spider bite changed everything. Through it all, she found healing and purpose in writing, eventually fulfilling her dream of becoming a multi-genre author and mentor helping others tell their stories too. This is a powerful and uplifting conversation about reclaiming your voice, trusting new beginnings, and writing a new chapter for yourself — no matter where you’ve been.

In this week’s episode, we sit down with Lucy Bishop to explore the journey that led her towards nutritional therapy and holistic healing.
