Write to Rise: The Power of Putting Pen to Paper

Caroline Carey sits down with Libbla Kelly, founder of Right to Rise and Wisdom While You Work, for a conversation about handwriting as a tool for self-awareness, emotional processing and change.Libbla makes the case that reading absorbs you but writing rewires you. Backed by neuroscience, her work uses the physical act of putting pen to paper to slow the brain down, reach past the patterns we hide behind, and process what we would rather push away. Caroline and Libbla go back many years, so this one is personal: two friends on how a notebook became non-negotiable.If you have ever rolled your eyes at "journaling", or tried and not got on with it, or even love it and want to take it a step further - this is the episode that reframes it.In this episode:00:00 Change happens when you want it01:24 Welcome to Eat Nourish Love01:45 Meet Libbla Kelly and Write to Rise03:20 From stationery monitor to a life with the pen05:19 Why handwriting, not a keyboard07:50 Memory is a muscle09:06 Reach out, but also reach in12:05 The method: Stop, Read, Listen, Feel, Write, Rise13:11 Using breathwork to prepare16:36 Sitting with the feeling20:18 Cortisol, scrolling and the quick fix23:34 Over-coping and the weight women carry28:40 Women's wellbeing in the workplace31:02 Inside the Right to Rise book library36:03 Breaking the negative thought loop36:54 When and where to journal41:43 The block, and the light behind it43:41 Three things to take away46:04 Where to find LibblaFind Libbla Kelly:www.WisdomWhileYouWork.comwww.Libbla.comEat Nourish Love is hosted by Caroline Carey.

The Academy of Alchemy: Andrew Wallas on Purpose, Prosperity and the Future of Human Potential

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by Andrew Wallas, the businessman turned spiritual teacher widely known as the Business Shaman. Andrew built and sold companies worth tens of millions before a breakdown at 28 sent him in a completely different direction. He shares the story of the dark place that nearly ended his life, the moment of surrender that changed everything, and the work he has done on himself for the past 40 years. The conversation moves into intention versus goal setting, why alignment matters more than willpower, and the shadow as the place of greatest reward rather than something to fear. Andrew also unpacks image, narcissism and polarity, and gives three simple exercises anyone can use to start changing today. About Andrew Wallas Andrew Wallas is a business transformation consultant, author and teacher. After a successful career in the City, he took a master's in psychology and a degree in theology and philosophy, and went on to found the School for Business Alchemy and the Academy of Alchemy. He works with leaders, hedge fund managers and individuals on inner change as the route to outer results. Andrew's Books Business Alchemy Intention Contact Andrew Wallas Website: andrewwallas.org School for Business Alchemy: theschoolforbusinessalchemy.org Andrew's Three Key Takeaways 1. Surrender opens the door. His turnaround came not from trying harder but from giving in completely when every other option had failed. 2. Intention needs alignment. Setting an intention is necessary but not enough. You have to align your thinking, emotions and daily actions with it, and that is how synchronicity starts to happen. 3. The shadow is where the energy is. Owning the parts of yourself you have suppressed or judge in others ("just like me") brings wholeness, and wholeness is where real change lives.

From HELLO! Magazine to Reinvention: Rosie Nixon on Creating Your Next Chapter

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by author, broadcaster and coach Rosie Nixon, the award-winning former Editor-in-Chief of HELLO! magazine, who spent 16 years at the heart of celebrity publishing before walking away to rebuild her life on her own terms. Rosie shares how burnout forced her to pause, why she now sees midlife "crisis" as an invitation to reinvent, and how she turned her own story into a coaching method helping thousands of women do the same.About Rosie Nixon Rosie Nixon is an author, broadcaster and qualified coach. She spent around 25 years in women's magazines, starting on teen and girls' titles, then senior roles at Grazia, Glamour, Red and New Woman, before joining HELLO!, where she rose from senior editor to Editor-in-Chief across 16 years. She brokered world exclusives with some of the biggest names in entertainment, including Robbie Williams' wedding, building a reputation for discretion and trust. She is the author of four novels in The Stylist series (The Stylist, Amber Green Takes Manhattan, Just Between Friends and Bad Influence), plus the non-fiction book Be Kind. Her sixth book, The Pro Method, a self-coaching framework, is published this August. She now runs reinvention retreats for women across the UK. What This Episode Covers Rosie talks about her years as "the conduit of other people's stories" and the moment everything shifted when she finally shared her own. After running on adrenaline for years, she was signed off work on the brink of burnout, a forced pause that made her realise her values had evolved faster than her job had. She and Caroline explore why reinvention beats crisis, how the stress we ignore eventually shows up in the body, and why the messy middle is the hardest part of any transition. Rosie explains how coaching helped her negotiate down to three days a week, then one day as editor-at-large, building her new business on the side rather than leaping without a net, proof that change doesn't have to be all or nothing. The conversation also covers the lost camaraderie of magazine offices, the responsibility of editing for impressionable young readers in a pre-social-media age, kindness as a learned behaviour (and why we're hardest on ourselves), and Rosie's mission to make affordable, holistic coaching available to women navigating midlife.

Pause first. A pause can be as small as one breath in and a longer breath out, enough to calm your nervous system before any decision, big or small. 2. Don't make knee-jerk choices. 3. Then reflect. Ask what actually serves you. Your values evolve, especially through motherhood and midlife, and the discomfort you're feeling is often a signal that something needs to change, not proof that you're failing.T hen organise. Decisions made from calm and clarity set you up for sustainable vitality. Pause, Reflect, Organise (the PRO method) is the order that makes reinvention work.

Happy Healthy Sober: Finding Yourself Again with Janey Lee Grace

In this episode of Eat Nourish Love, Caroline Cary is joined by broadcaster, author and sobriety coach Janey Lee Grace a familiar voice to millions from her 24 years alongside Steve Wright on BBC Radio 2. Janey shares the story behind her own decision to quit alcohol, why she calls it "the booze elevator," and how her work today is helping thousands of women step off it before they ever hit rock bottom. About Janey Lee Grace Janey Lee Grace is a broadcaster, bestselling author, coach and the founder of The Sober Club. A former backing singer on the Wham! tours and one half of Cola Boy (their 1991 hit Seven Ways to Love reached number 8 in the charts), Janey went on to spend 24 years co-hosting Steve Wright in the Afternoon on BBC Radio 2. She is the author of the Amazon number one bestseller Imperfectly Natural Woman, her memoir From Wham to Woo: A Life on the Mic, and Happy Healthy Sober: Ditch the Booze and Take Control of Your Life with a foreword by Denise Welch. Her TEDx talk Sobriety Rocks. Who Knew! sparked the launch of The Sober Club in 2019. She also hosts the Alcohol Free Life podcast and the annual Platinum Awards, recognising the best in natural, sustainable and organic brands. What This Episode Covers Janey speaks candidly about the years she spent "stepping around the elephant in the room" writing books on natural living by day, drinking a bottle of wine by night, and waking at 3am asking herself what she was doing. She unpacks why the conventional two-bucket view of drinkers (rock bottom vs. happy social drinker) misses the millions of "grey area" drinkers in between, and why she believes even one glass is harmful. She and Caroline discuss the moment Janey read Clare Pooley's The Sober Diaries and knew her drinking days were over, the cultural and marketing shift that targeted women from the late 1970s onwards, and why GPs hand out antidepressants and HRT without ever asking about alcohol. The conversation moves into self-worth, visibility for small businesses, and why so many therapists, coaches and founders trained in their craft but never actually got started and what it takes to step into the spotlight when you'd rather hide. Janey's BooksHappy Healthy Sober: Ditch the Booze and Take Control of Your Life, foreword by Denise Welch From Wham to Woo: A Life on the Mic, memoir Imperfectly Natural Woman, Amazon number one bestseller Contact Janey Lee Grace Website: thesoberclub.com Instagram: @janeyleegracePodcast: Alcohol Free Life Janey's Three Key Takeaways Ask yourself the question. Could your life be better, physically and emotionally, without alcohol? Ask your gut. If the answer is yes, quit, you will never do anything better for your health. Become curious about self-love. Most people pour everything into others and have zero left for themselves. Self-esteem isn't a switch you flick it's a slow burn worth committing to. When you know what you want, go after it. Don't wait until the kids leave home, or the money's there, or you feel ready. Start. The belief comes from the doing.

The Art of Making Things Happen: Caroline Cary on Belief, Building and Bringing People Together

For the first time, Caroline Cary is the guest, sharing the story behind 30 years of fundraising, events, family, and the founding of Eat Nourish Love. This is the one for anyone who knows Caroline through the Fair, the podcast, or the Collective — and wants to hear the journey that built it all. Caroline Cary is a fundraising strategist, campaign director, podcast host and events consultant who has spent over thirty years bringing people, projects and purpose together. She is the founder of Eat Nourish Love, a wellness, lifestyle and conscious living platform, and Cary Consultancy, where she works with charities, founders and purpose driven leaders. She has raised more than four and a half million pounds for the Armed Forces, heritage, health, wellbeing and conservation causes, and led senior level engagements with HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, HRH The Duke of Cambridge, and HRH The Duchess of Kent. She is a Trustee of the Army Museums Ogilby Trust on the Governance, Finance and Communications Committees, a former Chair of the Charity Fairs Association, and a Leiths trained cook with a Distinction. She hosts the Eat Nourish Love podcast and earlier this year launched the ENL Collective. What This Episode Covers Caroline shares the moments that shaped her — being one of the first children formally diagnosed with dyslexia, the worst day of her life when her daughter Annabel was rushed to hospital with what doctors first thought was cancer, and the resilience built across decades of saying yes and figuring it out afterwards. She talks candidly about the realities of running large-scale events: the burnt fish pie minutes before service, the Jubilee that became a commemoration, and the difficult decision to pause the Christmas Fair after 25 years. She opens up about putting herself at the bottom of the pile for years on behalf of charities and clients — and why now, finally, it is her turn to grow. She also explains the thinking behind the Eat Nourish Love Collective: built in four weeks, sold out in seven months with 32 founding members, and designed to solve the loneliness so many founders quietly carry. Caroline's Three Key Takeaways 1. Mistakes are the work. If you're not making them, you're not growing. Resilience and tenacity are built through the no's, not around them. 2. Take the small step. When something feels enormous, do the one thing you can do that day. The little steps make the big things happen. 3. The answers are inside, not outside. Turn the noise of competitors off. Trust the intuition. The universe delivers when you're true to who you are.
