In this episode, I’m joined by Louise Culyer, who shares her powerful journey of transformation and becoming part of the Start Over movement.

Louise explains how, despite already helping people through her work, she felt something was missing. Her business felt stagnant and she knew she was meant for more - she wanted to write a book, travel, and reach even more people. After connecting on Zoom, we began working together and she became part of the Start Over movement.

Growing up, Louise struggled with trauma, anxiety, and self-doubt. She built what looked like a stable life on the outside, a career as a teacher, a home, and a supportive husband- but internally she wasn’t happy. Surrounded by negative family dynamics and struggling with her mental health and relationship with food, she realised she needed to make a change.

Louise made the difficult decision to walk away from her old life, including relationships that were no longer healthy for her. When COVID hit, things became even harder. She lost her stability, had nowhere to live for a period of time, and reached one of the lowest points in her life — even sleeping in her car and eventually going to hospital due to her mental health.

But that moment became a turning point.

Louise began focusing on her healing, investing in her health, fitness, and personal growth. With the support of a spiritual coach, she experienced a powerful realisation that there was more to life and that she was worth fighting for.

Since then, Louise has completely turned her life around. After working with the NHS and investing heavily in her own education and development, she has built her own coaching business and now helps people transform their lives every day.

Her message is simple but powerful: there is more to life than what you may see right now. Invest in yourself, put yourself first, and believe that change is possible.
