#80 - Karly Ashworth: Big Brother, Hypnotherapy, and Finding Purpose

We have a beautiful, inspiring episode this week my fellow beasts! My friend Karly Ashworth is our next guest. She is also our first ever reality tv star that we’ve had on the podcast.  After her time on the UK’s Big Brother, Karly decided to leave the world of fame and climb the ladder of the corporate world. After finding success there, feeling burned out, and then the pandemic, Karly decided to follow a new career path when hypnotherapy accidently fell into her lap. So now, she excelling as a hypnotherapist and mindset coach while also being the host of Soul Family Podcast.  Today we cover ·      A post she had breaking down the timeline of her life and how she kept coming back to the word, refocus. ·      Being born in Scotland and how her grandfather taught her how to lean into love. ·      Losing her job and then seeing an audition for Big Brother in her hometown. ·      How from a young age, she always felt there was something bigger to go towards to in life and how she thought she’d be famous one day.·      What fame meant to her and what it could look like for her life. ·      Her time on Big Brother and how no one is being real. ·      The price of finding this new fame and it not being what she was expecting. ·      Her friend talking about this job position at a financial firm in Edinburgh and how she should go for it. ·      Having to start back at the bottom of this new job, working her way to the top, then the feeling of burnout and overextending herself. ·      Becoming a hypnotherapist by accident after taking a transformation coaching course.·      The stigma attached to hypnotherapy and what it means to be a hypnotherapist. ·      Success stories she’s had. ·      How to find purpose in the world.  Karly left me speechless at some many different points in this episode. The advice she gives, I’m taking with me to the grave. She radiates positivity and empathy and I hope you could feel that too.   Want to keep up with Karly?
