In this episode of TheYorkie Talkies Talk, I chat with transformational coach Lisa Hudson about what happens when the business you built no longer fits the person you’ve become. Lisa shares her journey from burnout to balance, and how her Freedom Method™—a blend of Human Design, Mind Coding®, and soul-aligned strategy—helps entrepreneurs rediscover clarity, joy, and purpose in their work.
If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown your business, this conversation will remind you that freedom isn’t found in doing more—it’s found in aligning who you are with what you do.

In this uplifting episode of Yorkie Talkies Talk, I chat with Jo Moseley — filmmaker, author, and “joy encourager” — about what it truly means to find joy in the outdoors.

From her coast-to-coast adventure to everyday moments of gratitude, Jo’s message is a beautiful reminder that joy is all around us — if we take the time to step outside and notice it.

This episode follows YTO leaders Gemma and Kerry on their summer journey through the breathtaking Dolomites. Expect mountain highs, a few unexpected twists — including a lucky escape — and the sweet surprise of pineapple ice cream along the way!
Who decides to walk to another country for their holiday?
Emma and Becky, apparently! In this episode we chat all things Pennine Way – 268 miles, 14 days, 40,000ft of up and down, a couple of train rides, and even an emergency chiropodist visit thrown in for good measure.
Expect plenty of laughs as we relive the highlights (breakfast with red squirrels, High Cup Nick, cheese scones, pork scratchings, and a little red wine & port to keep us going 🍷) and the lowlights (5:30am starts in the dark, sausage-shaped toes, and the “worst but best” pit stop near Bellingham).
It’s muddy, it’s silly, it’s epic – and somehow we’re still friends at the end of it! 🥾😂

Whether you’re local to York or just passionate about community resilience, this is an inspiring listen about teamwork, dedication, and saving lives.
