Find Your Community, Then Just Jump in and Say "Yes"!; with Marie McCarthy & Beccie D'Cunha - #42

The synchronicities abound! In this episode of the podcast we welcomed two complete strangers from the UK and Ireland who happened to both be fans of open water swimming!


Beyond that connection, their wisdom and insights into people dynamics, motivation, mediation and growth left us feeling uplifted to the core.


Here’s a summary of what we discussed:


09:05 - the metaphor for life

11:11 - having the confidence to face anything

15:53 - the cold water mindset challenge

22:49 - the value in sitting with discomfort

26:45 - just say “yes”

42:10 - the challenge of changing direction


And the key takeaway that the more we make our life about other people - the more we get better ‘flow’ in our lives.


Plus much more..


Enjoy!

About the Podcast

Mission Activated
Conversations and reflections on living your purpose and leading from alignment
Mission Activated is a podcast about living with purpose and leading from alignment.
Hosted by Aveline Clarke, founder of 6 Star Leaders, the show moves between two kinds of episodes: conversations with people doing meaningful work in their own way, and solo reflections drawn from her work coaching conscious leaders through what gets in the way and what's possible on the other side.
This isn't a podcast about hustle, performance, or scale at all costs. It's about the inner work that makes the outer work matter. Self-trust. Clean communication. Owning your part. Becoming someone others can safely navigate by.
If you're tired of leadership content that's loud and shallow, and you're looking for something quieter, more honest, and more useful, this is for you.
New episodes fortnightly. Stay aligned.
