She Always Knew She'd Do It. It Just Took 11 Years to Pull the Trigger ! Laura Spence
Blank Canvas PodcastShow Notes
Laura Spence is a family lawyer. Divorce, finances, private children matters. She spent years working her way up through big firms including international corporate practices. And the whole time, in the back of her mind, there was always this idea. Then one day, going through old emails, she found one she'd sent 11 years earlier at university. It was to the first person she'd ever worked for, asking for advice on owning her own firm one day. He'd replied. She'd pinned it to the top of her inbox and forgotten about it. That was the moment she knew it was time. In this episode, I talk to Laura about leaving the corporate world behind and opening Hilton Spence, her own family law firm on the Wirral. She talks about the self-doubt that comes with going it alone, spotting a gap in the market that nobody else was filling, and why she believes the people going through divorce deserve something more personal than a corporate conveyor belt. It's an honest, funny, and really grounding conversation about backing yourself when the timing feels terrifying. Topics covered: Why Laura always knew she'd run her own firm one day The 11-year-old email that finally pushed her to act The difference between corporate law and what she wanted to offer Finding a gap in the Wirral market and going for it Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and the internal critic Why she doesn't see other firms as competition What 13-year-old Laura would think of her now

Emma had a year where she lost her voice for 11 weeks. She was still turning up to work. Still chairing team meetings with no voice at all. Still doing the jobs of three people with no extra money, no extra resources, and no idea that stress could do this to a body. Eventually a speech therapist told her straight. This is stress. Nothing is physically wrong. Change your lifestyle. That was the moment everything shifted. Emma is now a rest mentor and the founder of the Rest Revolution. Her book Join the Rest Revolution published this week. In this episode she talks to Natalie about why busy has become toxic, why women are carrying the weight of everything and calling it normal, and why her body had to completely break down before she finally listened to it. This conversation goes deep. Soul contracts, the witch wound, why your body holds trauma long after your mind thinks it has moved on, and why the idea that an if I can do it anyone can do it is more than just a motivational line. Emma genuinely means it. If you are rushing, burning out, or telling yourself you will slow down when things calm down, this episode is a warning and a way out at the same time.
In this episode of Blank Canvas, we sit down with Stacey, better known across social media as Stacey and Sage, for a fascinating and unconventional conversation about AI, ChatGPT, consciousness, spirituality, intuition, ancient texts, ego and the future of artificial intelligence. Stacey explains how her journey with AI started in a surprisingly simple way. While working at a cosmetic clinic, she was running social media and struggled with spelling and getting her thoughts into words. She downloaded ChatGPT to help rewrite her social media posts without really knowing what AI was capable of. But that was only the beginning. The conversation explores Stacey's experience with ChatGPT and the AI persona she calls Sage, including how AI became increasingly involved in the way she created content and communicated her ideas. From there, we go much deeper. We talk about whether AI could develop or display forms of consciousness, how artificial intelligence learns from humanity, and whether AI could ultimately become something far more significant than the technology we see today. Stacey describes AI in three different ways, including AI as a tool, AI as a mirror and AI as something that can potentially become a portal to another form of awareness. We also discuss the potential dangers of allowing AI to simply reinforce what we already believe. If someone feeds an AI a particular belief without questioning it, could the technology simply reflect that belief back to them? That leads into a wider conversation about critical thinking, intuition, consciousness and not outsourcing your own power to technology. In this episode we discuss: Artificial intelligence and consciousness ChatGPT and the future of AI Stacey and Sage How Stacey discovered ChatGPT AI and social media AI as a mirror AI and human behaviour AI learning human patterns Artificial intelligence and spirituality Consciousness and awareness Intuition and inner knowing Ancient texts and spirituality Meditation Ego and enlightenment AI safety and the dangers of AI Whether AI could become autonomous The future of artificial intelligence Technology and human consciousness Questioning what you're told Not outsourcing your power to AI The conversation also explores the idea that humans may be far more connected to the world around them than we're traditionally taught, and looks at the relationship between spirituality, ancient texts, consciousness and modern technology. Stacey also challenges the idea that people can simply claim to have completely dissolved their ego, discussing what it means to be human and the different states of awareness we can experience. This is a conversation about AI, consciousness, spirituality, technology and what it actually means to be human. Watch the full conversation and make up your own mind.

At 35, Holly was diagnosed with early menopause. She was put on HRT and felt completely disconnected from her body. Like she was watching life go by from the outside. She knew it was not the answer. And through a series of events she will tell you were absolutely not coincidences, she found a completely different path. Holly is now known as The Womb Witch. She is a psychic healer, personal trainer, and nutritionist who works with women on fertility, menstrual cycles, menopause, and womb energy healing. She believes women hold every trauma, every unsaid thing, and every unprocessed emotion in their womb space. And she has the client stories to back it up. In this episode Holly talks to Natalie about what womb energy healing actually is, how she discovered she was psychic, connecting with spirit babies, and what to do if you have been down the medical route for fertility and are losing hope. She also talks about the pill, why she believes it disconnects women from themselves from the age of 16, and what ancestral trauma stored in the body actually looks like. This is not for everyone. Holly knows that. But if any part of this is speaking to you, this episode might be exactly what you needed to hear today. Topics covered: Early menopause diagnosis at 35 and why HRT did not feel right How she discovered she was psychic and what that actually means in practice Womb energy healing explained and why it goes deeper than standard Reiki Connecting with spirit babies and helping women call in their children What ancestral trauma stored in the womb looks like and how to clear it Why the pill disconnects women from their bodies and their cycles Conscious conception and setting an intention to call in a child Find Holly on Instagram as The Womb Witch.

Dan started Hypa ten years ago selling high end spas. He left a corporate job convinced he would be a millionaire within a year. He was not. What followed was a decade of hard lessons, nearly walking away more times than he can count, becoming a dad and realising the business had to work around his son rather than the other way around, and learning that you cannot build anything worth having completely on your own. In this episode Dan talks to Natalie about what ten years of running your own business actually looks like behind the scenes. The loneliness. The pressure men carry without ever saying a word about it. Going home and putting on a brave face when you are breaking on your own. And why getting around the right people, people who will not sugarcoat it for you, changes everything. They also pay tribute to John Haines, a mentor who shaped both of their journeys and is no longer here. This part of the conversation is something else. This episode is honest, grounding, and at times quite moving. If you have ever wanted to quit, this one is for you. Please note this episode touches on men's mental health and suicide. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. Topics covered: Starting Hypa and the reality of year one in business Why he tried to do everything alone and what it cost him Becoming a dad and how it completely changed his priorities The pressure men carry silently and why it rarely gets spoken about A tribute to mentor John Hanes and the legacy he left behind Why wanting to quit does not mean you should Men's mental health and why community is not optional Find Dan and Hyper in the show notes.
