Last night, my husband and I went to a wonderful book launch in Brighton with friends. Marina Fernández Julián has written Leading With the Soul and the entire evening was steeped in soul, intuition and deep connection which was exactly the medicine I needed.
Every conversation was a reminder that connection to our soul, inner wisdom and self trust is more important than ever. As we navigate huge shifts in the world and within ourselves, the call to live from the inside out has never felt clearer.
The panel was made up of contributors to the book, including the head teacher of our children’s school. He spoke about humour, intuition and the evolving role of leadership.
West Ham coach Bruno Saltor Grau shared how he coaches through care and connection, nurturing his players’ wellbeing alongside their performance. The importance of his players feeling seen and cared for really landed.
Omar Meza, producer and CEO of DA.TE Danza (a contemporary dance company in Spain), spoke about the power of creative expression and how art can connect, heal and inspire us. He talked about shining a light on overlooked corners of society and using artistic truth to provoke meaningful change.
Francesca Hamptons, Group CFO at Raymond James Wealth & Management, talked about the importance of connection, purpose and aligning our values. She emphasised the need to blend business acumen with humanity and how true fulfilment and genuine engagement generate higher returns.
Sam Thomas, MD of SBT and owner of Firm Balls, reminded us that vulnerability is a strength. When we create safety and lead with honesty and integrity, we invite others to do the same, leading to soul connection.
One nugget that stayed with me was that as we move through the profound transition of AI, tech and everything it brings, we’re not just being asked to adapt, we’re being called to upgrade our mindset.
This is exactly the space I hold in my own coaching and events. As algorithms and automation accelerate, the need for nervous system rest, connection to self and living from our wisdom centres becomes even more essential.
Marina invites us to reclaim the qualities of authenticity, empathy and meaningful connection. A woman after my own heart ❤️
It was such a joy to be in a room full of people choosing integrity, honesty, vulnerability, and intuition over noise, hype, performance and ego. Masks off. We don’t need to keep looking outward for answers. We just need to keep coming back to ourselves.
Connection is everything 🫶
If this resonates with you and you’re feeling called to reconnect with your intuition, nervous system and inner wisdom, I’d love to support you.
