Episode description

Playing with Fear may not seem like much of a fun game, but suspend your judgement until you have listened to the inimitable Mary Daniels share her story and her personal philosophy of life.  

Mary is a Social Entrepreneur, Life and Business Coach, Speaker, Writer, Workshop Facilitator and the newly appointed Co-Director of Alternatives - the non-for-profit London-based organisation that is the forefront of running workshops and events for those hungry for 'spiritual' nourishment.  

When she first found 'Alternatives' many years ago, it was something of a sanctuary for her as she tussled with who she was and how to move forward with her life.  Little did she know that she would transition from attendee, to volunteer, to workshop organiser to co-director!

Like so many who work in the personal development arena, Mary has had her fair share of life challenges.  And yet, she shares her story with the spark of humour for which she is much admired, and instead of dwelling on what went wrong, she has learned from those times and what a gift her early life actually was.  

A real beacon of light for those who are finding it hard to move on from past traumas, Mary is a lighthouse of hope as she describes how she has learned to master her emotions and she generously shares with us her secrets on how to get comfortable - and even play with fear.  

The mood of this interview shifts between pathos, humour and hope and is an absolute 'must' for those who are facing anxiety, uncertainty or fear, and are unsure how to make friends with these difficult emotions.  

The transformation that this woman has gone through is remarkable and very very inspiring.  We hope that by listening to Mary you are able to look at the difficult parts of your past in a fresh light.
