Anne Marie McElroy: When Success Feels Empty and Your Body Knows Why

Isaac Davis: From Prison to Purpose, and the Meaning That Changed Everything

What if the life you've been working so hard toward isn't actually the life that means the most to you? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Isaac Davis, Founder and Transformation Coach at Logos Coaching. Isaac's work draws from existential psychology, logotherapy, and narrative identity theory, rooted in the ideas of Viktor Frankl and Dan McAdams, to help people build lives that feel genuinely meaningful, not just outwardly successful. Isaac works with a wide range of people: prison leavers, executives and CEOs, people in the entertainment industry, and anyone who's hit a point where they have the goals, the actions, even some of the results, but still feel lost or misaligned. His approach goes beyond performance coaching to ask the deeper question: does this thing you're working towards actually mean something to you? What struck me most in this conversation is how Isaac talks about the goals many of us are chasing. So often they were set by an older version of ourselves, shaped by someone else's expectations, or handed down by culture and society without us ever really choosing them. Isaac first encountered coaching while serving time in prison, through an organisation called Spark Inside. Watching coaches hold space for people who were completely lost, not advising them, not directing them, just asking where do you want to go, he knew immediately: that's what I want to do. When he was released, meaning became the thread that guided his own trajectory toward wellbeing and fulfillment. And now it's the work he brings to others. In this episode, we explore: ➤ What logotherapy and meaning-centred coaching actually look like in practice, and why Viktor Frankl's ideas are more relevant now than ever ➤ The problem with performance-based goals, and how chasing outcomes set by an older version of yourself keeps you misaligned ➤ The meaning mapping process, and how it helps clients discover what truly lights them up rather than what they think they should want ➤ How transformation begins with being heard, and why Isaac's starting point is the belief that people don't need fixing This episode is for anyone who's ever hit a milestone and still felt something was off. If you're at a crossroads and not quite sure which way to turn, this conversation offers a grounding, genuinely human perspective on what it means to live well.

Jenny Elinora: Why Joy Is a Choice You Make Every Single Day

What if joy isn't something you earn at the end of the week, but something you choose right now, in the middle of the ordinary? I'm joined today by Jenny Elinora, JOY Weaver and Visionary Creatrix of the Everyday JOY™ System. Jenny helps women, particularly those navigating transitions like divorce, career change, or midlife reinvention, move out of perfectionism, fear, and self-doubt and into play, soul-deep expression, and genuine freedom. Her work is rooted in a deceptively simple but profound idea: joy isn't a destination or a reward. It's a daily practice, woven into the ordinary moments, the caregiving, the work, the responsibilities, all of it. And when you start doing that consistently, even in tiny ways, something shifts in your nervous system, your creativity, and your whole sense of self. Jenny's own journey to this work is one I found deeply moving. She spent much of her life disconnected from her own creative voice, until at 33 she finally started writing her own music, and a little flourishing began. It was the loss of her mother in 2019 that catalysed something bigger. Out of that grief, she found her whole voice, releasing solo albums, creating her own art, and eventually building the business and the system she now shares with others. She was 50 when that particular chapter opened. She's living proof that creative wholeness doesn't have an expiry date 😊. One client arrived having written, and abandoned, the same book for 40 years. Through their work together, she finished it within a year. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why weaving joy into your daily life matters more than saving it for the weekend, and what it does to your nervous system over time ➤ What becomes possible when women stop carrying guilt about being themselves, and start following their own creative impulse ➤ Why joy is a choice, not a feeling you wait for, and what that means in the middle of real life pressures This episode is for any woman who knows she's been deferring her own joy, and is ready to weave it back in, starting today.

Bella St John: Redefining Success from the Inside Out

What if success isn't about doing more, but about finally asking what you actually want? I'm joined today by Bella St John, Chief Manifestation Officer and Business Coach, who helps coaches, consultants, and organisations break through the patterns keeping them stuck and build businesses that genuinely light them up. Her tagline is "Success Redefined," and the more she talked, the more I realised she actually lives it. Bella's approach sits at a fascinating crossroads of human-centred AI, deep mindset work, and a lifetime of researching what makes people tick. She's not interested in cookie-cutter playbooks or band-aids on the surface. She gets underneath the behaviour, the systems, the plateau, to find what's really going on and what her clients genuinely want instead. What struck me most in this conversation is how much of her work comes from lived experience. Bella has navigated a challenging upbringing, reinvented herself multiple times, spent almost a decade travelling solo across Europe with significant mobility challenges, and has just recently landed somewhere she describes, for the first time in her life, as truly home. Her story is rich with those pivot moments where the question "now what?" becomes the beginning of something extraordinary. In this episode we explore: ➤ What "human-centred AI" actually means, and why the question isn't how to use the tools but how to use them in a way that better supports the humans in your organisation ➤ The difference between focusing on the problem and focusing on the solution, and why one keeps you vibrating at the frequency of what's not working ➤ Why "trying" might be the thing that's holding you back, and what the shift to doing actually looks and feels like ➤ What it takes to move from plateau to breakthrough, and why the real work is always about identity first, strategy second ➤ How everything in your life can work for you rather than against you, if only you choose to use it that way This episode is for coaches and business owners who know they're capable of more, but feel like something invisible keeps getting in the way.

Yvonne Hayes: The Little Changes That Make the Biggest Difference

What if reaching your full potential doesn't require a dramatic overhaul, just one small, consistent tweak? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Yvonne Hayes, Lifestyle and Wellness Coach, who helps people in their 30s to 60s look after themselves more, feel their best, and create additional income that fits around their lives, without the overwhelm. Yvonne's background is in education and training, and that foundation runs through everything she does. Her belief is simple: we're never the finished article. We can always grow, always improve, always reach a little further. But her path to wellness coaching didn't start with a grand plan. It started with IBS, exhaustion, and a plant she was deeply sceptical about. Suffering for years with digestive issues that nothing seemed to touch, Yvonne agreed to try aloe vera for 60 days, purely because of the money-back guarantee. By day 40, she felt better than she had in decades. The cramps were gone. Her energy was back. Her clarity returned. She forgot to take it on holiday, went back to square one within a week, and that was the moment she understood something important: it wasn't a cure. It was a daily practice. A small, consistent habit that changed everything 😌. She sat on that experience as a happy customer for years. Then COVID arrived, she decided she wasn't returning to the grey office with the breeze block walls, and she started sharing her story. Now she has a growing team, loyal customers, and a business that funds several holidays a year while taking no more than 30 to 60 minutes of her day. In this episode, we explore: ➤ Why small tweaks consistently outperform big transformations, and how one daily habit shifted Yvonne's health, energy, and entire trajectory ➤ The gut health and mental clarity connection, and why sorting your physical foundation tends to open doors to everything else ➤ What it looks like to build a secondary income that genuinely fits into the nooks and crannies of your life, without trading time you don't have ➤ The parenting thread that runs through all of Yvonne's work, and why the smallest language shifts can change the atmosphere in your home with a teenager ➤ Why most people are stuck not because change is hard, but because they're not open to it, and what shifts when you let go of the idea that you have to stay with your lot This episode is for anyone who's been quietly waiting for the right moment to make a change, and wondering if a small step could actually be enough to start.

Anne Marie McElroy: When Success Feels Empty and Your Body Knows Why

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business isn't your strategy, but something your body has been carrying all along? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Anne Marie McElroy, Transformational Coach and Director, specialising in intuitive psychology, nervous system regulation, and deep identity shifts for women ready to break patterns and step into the next level of their life and business. Anne Marie brings a fascinatingly layered perspective to this work. She has spent 20 years running a high-end luxury bridal business, working intimately with women through one of the most emotionally charged seasons of their lives. What she kept noticing, year after year, was that looking beautiful on the outside didn't resolve what was happening underneath. That curiosity led her deeper, through Reiki, Dr Joe Dispenza, somatic practices, and eventually to qualifying as a Master Intuitive Psychology Coach. What I love about how she describes her work is this: what a client thinks is holding them back often isn't the real thing at all. Because trauma lives in the body, not in the story we tell ourselves about it 😌. In this episode, we explore: ➤ Why transformation starts in the body, not in the mind, and how working from root values upward creates lasting change ➤ Why slowing down is the most underrated business strategy, and what it actually means to check in with your nervous system before making decisions ➤ What Anne Marie's clients experience when the real shift happens, from rebuilding entire businesses to transforming health, relationships, and confidence ➤ Why journaling works when you stop trying to think your way through it, and how your subconscious speaks through the pen in ways your logical mind can't access This episode is for any business owner who has tried all the strategies but still feels like something unseen is in the way. Your body might already know what your mind hasn't caught up to yet.
