In this episode, Nicole chats with Rachael Welford — author, coach, and host of Things I Wish I’d Known — to explore her journey from bed-bound depression to building a thriving wellbeing-led business. They discuss the realities of mental health in corporate life, the freedom of self-employment, navigating long COVID and chronic fatigue, redefining success, spirituality in work, and practical tools like meditation and Reiki for sustainable growth and balance.
