Anna Deacon, a photographer based in Scotland, discovered that after taking up wild swimming she found improved body confidence, new friendships, inner solace and some incredible personal stories she turned into a best-selling book. In fact, her book, Taking The Plunge came out of a collaboration with a fellow outdoor swim enthusiast, Vicky Allan and together with Anna's incredible photography, they began collecting inspiring stories of women they met in the rivers and lakes of the UK. As well as providing helpful and encouraging advice for wild swimming, the book tells stories of mental health and life struggles that were aided by the uptake of wild swimming. Ambitions manifest differently for everyone and in this podcast series, Kate will be hearing about the different journeys and challenges her guests have faced whilst balancing their wellbeing & spiritual aspirations, career goals, family lives and the often-forgotten self-care.    Kate Moryoussef is a Wellbeing/EFT & Forgiveness coach and mum to four children, who is passionate about helping women rediscover their inner voice, tap into their expansive potential and realise themselves outside of their family dynamic.
