Have you figured out what your ‘why’ is?  Are you struggling to find the time to discover what you want from life?

My guest on this week’s podcast is the inspirational plant-powered wellness advocate, best-selling author and podcast host, Rich Roll.  He shares his incredible story of complete transformation from unhealthy, overweight alcoholic lawyer to ultra-endurance athlete, who has been hailed “fittest vegan on the planet”.  We talk about how finding out who you are and what your purpose is has a positive impact on every aspect of your life. Rich gives some brilliant tips on how to achieve this.  This is an honest, deep and enthralling conversation – I hope you enjoy it!

My book, ‘The Stress Solution’ covers purpose in great detail.  You can pre-order it here.
