Hey there, my wise friends and a warm, warm welcome to episode 50 of Collective Wisdom, which is a bit of a pinch me moment as I really didn't even contemplate getting as far as 50 episodes when I first started this podcast a year ago, and to celebrate the 50th episode, I have a really incredible guest to share with you. Dr. Sam Collins is an amazing coach and entrepreneur, and you'll hear all about the work she does with her groundbreaking organisation Aspire for Equality. Her superpower is being an inspirational and empowering leader who works consistently and relentlessly as an advocate for the underrepresented voices of women across the globe. We talk about following your intuition, how to stay motivated, when times are tough, and how to give yourself the best chance of overcoming the challenges that life inevitably throws at us all at some point. If you're currently facing a challenge yourself, I do hope that her wise advice will help you to keep putting one foot in front of the other and get you through it. And I'd encourage you to read her book Radio Heaven, as it may just spark something inside you or help you feel just that little bit less alone. Sam shares so much wisdom in terms of what she's learned from her lived experience of finding courage in the face of adversity, and building strong connections and relationships. I'd say the gold nugget I take away from Sam is always be challenging the status quo. I've heard it said that status quo can be the greatest challenge to progress. I love Sam’s determination and the way that she embodies that wisdom in the way she lives and works. I really think there's a lesson there for us all.
