April 11, 2025 · 64 min

What does it mean to live a brave, strong, and fulfilled life? In this inspiring episode of Compassion in a T-Shirt, I'm joined by the dynamic duo Kathryn Wiseman—former GP turned soulful life coach—and Aly Layt, neurocoach and founder of Bbrave Bstrong. Together, we explore what it takes to step into your values, face fear with courage, and create a life filled with intention and authenticity.

Hear Kathryn’s powerful journey from medicine to coaching, and how compassion lies at the heart of her work. Learn from Aly as she shares her neurocoaching approach and how it helps people move from feeling stuck to finding direction. This conversation is packed with wisdom, warmth, and practical insights from their podcast Brave, Strong and Fulfilled—and it might just be the nudge you need to take your next brave step.

Whether you're navigating change, rethinking your values, or simply searching for a deeper sense of meaning, this episode offers a compassionate space to reflect, grow, and be inspired.
