This week Alex talks to Kelly Tabiner, a Norfolk based Life Coach, and the two discuss what a life coach is and the similarities between practicing yoga and embracing the lessons a life coach has to teach you.

This week Dawn and Alex discuss energy. This includes the energy you feed yourself, how you get more energy, but also how you spend your energy. With self care, socialising, yoga, exercise, sleep and breath work as just a few of the topics covered on this episode, it certainly offers a lot of food for thought.
