What does it mean to pause, reflect, and live with greater intention?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lucy Cronly, accredited life and leadership coach, systemic practitioner, and author of The Right Shoes. Lucy brings a wealth of experience from her career in residential care, her training in neuroscience and systemic family therapy, and her personal journey as a mother.

We explore the importance of family, the challenges of parenting, and the transition into adulthood. Lucy shares how stories, metaphors, and coaching can help people reconnect with their inner wisdom, embrace self-compassion, and move from stress to balance. She also reflects on the voices that shaped her life and how she now supports others to lead and live more intentionally.

Key Takeaways:

• Family is at the heart of what matters most.
• Parenthood is a journey of growth and learning.
• Supporting young people means allowing them to make their own choices.
• Coaching is about scaffolding growth, not giving answers.
• Listening deeply creates meaningful insights.
• Self-compassion is a cornerstone of personal development.
• The stories we tell shape the lives we live.
• Every small choice builds towards the bigger picture.

In Their Words

• "I love being a mum."
