Fan The Flames

I believe we all have a flame, spark, desire, or idea and potential inside us, and our invitation/role/work is to Fan that Flame until it turns into a roaring fire, a sparkling star, or a guiding light. As coaches, therapists, and facilitators, we all have the desire to support the growth of those we work with. We often do this through conversations, so let’s have more of those conversations, sharing what we do and why. Let’s do it live, without editing or re-recording, just us together sharing what we do, for others to join, share and be inspired by. By Robert Stephenson - Fan the Flames Podcaster, Narrative & Personal Story Coach, Better Leadership Coach, Coaching Trainer, Supervisor & Mentor, Coffee Lover.

Join us to the Fan the Flames Season 2, as we explore our true desires, passions, law of attraction, inner whispers, and real sparks we are constantly create from within (and sometimes, unintentionally, fighting against).
What are the differences between 'toxic success' and 'aligned success'?
Living on purpose even in the unknown, while being aware of "what is true for me today?"
How do I distinguish between my loving passion and a passion defined by society and others?
Reflecting on how to live aligned with my purpose and passion as a whole, not distinguishing different life parts from each other.
Questioning how we attract clients who represent our current state of being; how am I being and representing my internal reality internally and externally?
How can we get enough space and stillness, to notice our soul's whispers and sparking within us?
Understanding the driving forces and strengths of multiple (healthy) obsessions living and impacting simultaneously.
Welcome to listen, enjoy, and join us as we explore all this and more with today's guest Denise xx

Join us in our excitement, as we are turn the tables and swap the seats!
In this episode, Marcus Stone is interviewing me on the journey of Fan the Flames so far, including my learnings from becoming a fire walk instructor.
According to Marcus, I am his trainer, coach, supervisor, mentor, colleague, line-manager, boss-emergency support, and most of all, his friend. And if I’m honest he is those things to me too.
Marcus and I are a beautiful example of how many different labels one relationship can have, when both humans are open to help, receive and support.
Join our conversation as we share the journey, with hope, insights and glimpses of the future.

Join us as we explore the world of Elaine Remy, sharing her passion for personal development, and her work as a coach, facilitator and rum cake maker.
"Turning loss into a legacy." 
Reflecting on the journey of adversity and growth - overcoming traumatic experiences whilst empowering oneself as a result of them. Gaining a novel perspective instead of depletion.  
Enabling growth via creating meaning out of the experienced challenges. How do we practise and nourish resilience; how do we become acceptive and appreciative towards the different chapters in our lifetime? 
What if life was a book - what could be the meaning of each paragraph and if each chapter, if everything was meant to be aligned? What if we understood the value of being able to pause for a second before jumping into the next life chapter. 
"We have to be quiet enough to hear our souls' whispers."
Understanding the true power of time and timing.  Harmonising our whole selves together with the external experiences we have and have gone through.
Do we approach life as "it is just happening TO us"  or do we take more responsibility of "how we can CREATE more life". 
Realising how I can release myself from the previous imprisoned self - both metaphorically and physically. How can I break through my own version of my "prison" in order to let my passions speak and express themselves through my actions?
"Turning set backs into come backs..."
And much more...
Welcome to join, listen, share, and continue reflection with us Xx

Join us as we talk all things creative with a designer and artist Laura; exploring how we create conditions for creativity, art in subjective forms, and follow our spark leaning into whom we want to become.
"To allow nothing to happen so that something can happen" 
There is no one right way to "be". There is only "me" and my way of being. How do we bring our whole selves into a space and create time "just to be me".  Reflecting on the idea of not distinguishing the professional and personal self; bringing all of me when I show up. 
Finding my version of success - "my 'boxes to tick' in life" whilst being the extraordinary version of me. Becoming aware of what those boxes and possibilities are.
Everyone is born with passion, play, fun, and magic from within; how do we tap into those and keep them alive. What enables us to thrive and benefit from our creativity and possibilities we see in life. 
Opening opportunities to see, feel, discover, and re-discover the (hidden) parts that truly makes us who we are. Having space to listen to the silence and what arises from that, in order to follow my desires and becoming the best version of me. How do we allow fun and play to exist while staying ambitious and seriously committed to what we aim for. 
Finally, reflecting on how our true and authentic "fire is not flamed with more fire". In order to light our inner fire we must remember to breathe, create space, nurture, and nourish it with patience and time. 
Welcome to join and continue our flowing conversation!

Join us as we delve into the world of Lotte Moore's work with breath, fire & glass walking. As she explores connecting with the old wild ways of exploring how we can both have success, adventure, and inner peace tied together.
 
During our conversation we reflect on FIRE as a facilitator for growth, change, and feelings of aliveness. Fire as an enabling tool for fully showing up to oneself.
 
Approaching RISK as a fun challenge; playing with fire as an opportunity to play with myself, my barriers, fears, and triggers, whilst opening opportunities to experience challenges as part of living my life fully and truly making the most out of it all.
 
Pondering the question: "Is changing my life worth the possible blister caused by the fire?"
 
“There is nowhere to hide from the effects the fire does to us as a human being. We can't heal something without facing it. The more we open ourselves to change, the more we can see, feel, and experience multiple levels and opportunities to change. 
 
Eventually, we all live in the same land. In the land of soil, trees, air, and the grounded connectedness we are all part of. The growth lives amongst us, through our bodies and entities, eventually connecting us all to the universe we live in”
 
And within our conversation we seek to answer a few questions; How do we keep tendering the fire? How do we continue tendering each other and most importantly, ourselves? 
 
Feel free to listen, share, and feel our flaming experience!

Join us as we explore Charlie's work on Redesigning Your Life and Career, Mindset and Wellbeing: "becoming detectives of ourselves."
Reflecting on how you lead - not only in your work but also in your life outside of your work. Clearing and cleaning unnecessary disturbance and noises in your system.
Creating space for your true core values to be expressed in your life, and learning how to listen to what your emotions are communicating to you. Discovering your real desires in life; how do we get ourselves into the "quiet" space from within in order to hear our soul's whispers. 
Accessing your inner coach instead of your inner critique - establishing your beliefs and confidence in yourself. Allowing your emotions to exist and speak to you - enabling clarity and answers instead of barriers. 
"Exploring, dreaming, discovering!"
Welcome to stargaze with us.

Join us as we explore finding your "true voice, vulnerability, building confidence, and living up to your potential" with Hattie Volecker. 
"Every piece of armour we put on, highlights our vulnerabilities."
Exploring and diving into your fragility, self-acceptance, sense of belonging, and self-exposure. 
More exposure, less hiding. More becoming, less masking. More of our being, less of us pretending...
How can you let go of your armour? Protecting yourself from the world, whilst not being able to connect with yourself fully. Stepping into the world of wholesome acceptance, vulnerability, and belonging. 
Being okay with not being okay. Being more okay when not being okay. Flourishing through the different volumes in life rather than solely living through few tones. 
Welcome to join, listen and share as we delve into how less protection can enable more responses, connection, openness, and adaptation.

Join us as we explore Lisa's "The Chocolate Coach" work, looking into Hypnotherapy and Ceremonial Cacao, two of the tools that she brings together to enhance deep states of self-awareness and realisation in order to create powerful breakthroughs in old patterns, to create a real, long-lasting change.
Moving away from the (stress) cortisol space. Moving towards a blissful (hormonal) space of connection. Moving away from our heads into our hearts, into being, feeling, relaxing; into letting go. Accessing ourselves on a deeper level, gaining a wider understanding of the sense who we are and can be.
Bonding, activating, healing, fostering, expanding, opening, and allowing. Allowing our potential to become more present and conscious; enabling the body's wisdom to benefit us. Activating parts of our brain with Cacao, therefore opening the doors, masks, and wounds into our wholeness as a human being.
Exploring the impacts Cacao can have on our body and brain that enable the gate-away to our heart-space, a "heart-way" to our way of being, to our purpose.  
And as you already know, so much more....
Enjoy the ride!

Join us in exploring the world of @s_xualachemy , Rebecca Lowrie - an author, coach, and entrepreneur whose work enables us to understand of how to support men to awaken their innate sexual mastery. 
If we learn how to become present, every single new present moment, can we really get bored with our sex life? 
We reflect on multiple levels and aspects of intimacy, never ending paths of growth, body-mind unity, sexual presence, the power(s) of present moment, and sexual mastery & mystery. 
"Fascination not destination" - is a sentence Rebecca refers to, under different contexts: "This present moment has never happened before." Whether we look into our sexual selves, being ourselves, becoming ourselves, or assessing the evolvement of life and us as human beings. 
Observing, valuing, and focusing the 'neck down' (body) processes as a stronger reference point when asking how we ARE. Shifting the focus from the 'neck up' emphasis to what and how our bodies are communicating to us. 
And so much more.... 
Welcome to listen and FEEL what we experienced at that present moment during our conversation.

Join “us as we explore Souls & Flames; where Natasha speaks about; “allowing my 'becoming' to be, to occur.” We also explore, how do we operate, when we do it from the soulful space?
In this episode Natasha shares her thoughts as we explore the new paradigms of business, money as an exchange of value, power, coaching, mentoring, and Mind-Body-Soul unity. Expanding our unique energies we already hold within us. Reflecting on the concept of 'work' as an extension of one's personality and true self.
We ask, “What is my 'soulgift'? Where does my unique power stand? How are we expressing our inner and outer energies; how do we exchange it in the world? Who are we, when we are expressing a mission of transforming the whole word via contributing in our own selves, and supporting one person at a time?
Multiple questions, multiple answers...
I look forward to you joining us - and feel free to share it with the world, one person at a time xx
