Episode 25: Rise To Your Best Version with Zoe Thompson

Life is a journey we all embark on, filled with dreams of a better tomorrow. But the real magic happens when we learn to love and appreciate the day we're living. It's about making changes that really matter, creating a future that feels uniquely ours.

In this episode, we sit down with our first guest from the UK, Zoe Thompson. Zoe Thompson is a life & wellbeing Coach, helping people to make profound and lasting change to create the tomorrow they want while learning to love their today. Zoe shares her desire to work for the police and the unexpected pivot to coaching after facing redundancy. She opens up about defining moments during her time in the police force, including the decision to leave an unhealthy relationship following the funeral of a friend who tragically lost their life in the London bombings.

Zoe's commitment to positive change began with a focus on physical health through exercise and weight loss. A pivotal shift occurred when a personal trainer encouraged her to prioritize strength and conditioning training over cardio, instilling a powerful mindset that transcended the gym. This newfound perspective led Zoe to start saying yes to new experiences and connecting with supportive communities, fostering her healing journey.

Zoe reveals her AHA moments, including a captivating metaphor from a zombie apocalypse challenge that shifted her mindset. Zoe realized that her past abuser held far less power and fear than she had perceived. Zoe advocates for letting go of their hold and working on changing learned behaviours. Zoe shares her work as a life and well-being coach, helping people develop tools for personal growth and gain confidence to achieve their goals. She believes that well-being and self-development go hand-in-hand, highlighting the need to prioritize oneself for success.

Zoe shares a simple yet impactful daily practice—practising gratitude and appreciation during teeth cleaning, leading to improved sleep and an overall positive mindset.

Join us for this inspiring conversation with Zoe Thompson and experience the power of gratitude, setting boundaries, and prioritising self-care that challenges the idea that self-care is selfish.
