not a straight line

  • サマリー

  • Each week, join your host, actor, producer, and former tech entrepreneur Peter Daly-Dickson, for a deep dive into the zig zag journeys through the lives of entrepreneurs and artists. And entrepreneurial artists! Together, we want to shatter the myth that it's ever too late to be who you want to be, and give you hope, inspiration and self-belief that the journey from where you are to where you want to get to is possible. It's just not a straight line! About your host: After 30+ years working first as an actor and then a career in IT culminating as the CEO of a software company, I walked away from everything at the end of 2021 close to burnout and in a poor state of mental health. I ended up driving luxury cars around the UK, delivering them to dealerships and customers, and relished the space it gave me to think and simply BE. 2.5 years later I've returned to the 22 year old Pete, sitting on the top deck of a bus wondering what his life would be like if he went to drama school, and reestablishing myself in a creative career as an actor and producer. Oh, and as a podcast host too!

  • The Photographer || The Foster Carer || The Resilient with Venetia Norrington
    2024/11/06

    Venetia Norrington’s story is rooted in resilience and a deep empathy for children. Growing up in Devon with older parents, her father’s passing at age four marked her early years, creating a childhood filled with noise, chaos, and a strong need for solace in nature. Venetia’s own experiences of navigating a challenging upbringing inspired her passion for fostering and advocating for children. She believes that no child should have to wait until adulthood to receive the support they need and brings a unique perspective to her work with children in need.

    As Venetia reflects on her journey, she shares how societal expectations clashed with her desire for adventure and purpose. Despite attempts to find fulfilment in conventional office roles, her heart was drawn to more meaningful pursuits. A pivotal experience came when she embarked on an Overland truck trip across Africa, sparking her love for the continent and leading her to work as a tour leader before transitioning into photography. Her journey wasn’t without challenges, including health issues and the loss of her mother, yet through therapy, Venetia discovered her true calling: fostering.

    Today, Venetia is a dedicated foster parent, initially providing emergency and respite care before becoming a full-time carer. Her approach combines internal family systems and somatic techniques, supporting children in regulating their emotions and creating a safe space for them to thrive. Venetia’s vision is to offer children an environment where they can connect with nature and find healing support from caring adults, embodying her commitment to making a difference in the lives of vulnerable youth.

  • The Coach || The Neurodivergent || The Wholistic with Ania Hulsman
    2024/10/23

    Ania’s journey is a powerful narrative of self-discovery, resilience, and the pursuit of personal growth. In this episode, Ania opens up about leaving a toxic relationship and embarking on a quest to find her self-worth. Reflecting on her childhood as an immigrant in England, she candidly shares her struggles with feeling like an outsider, grappling with a sense of not belonging, and finding refuge in books and daydreams of being rescued.

    Throughout our conversation, Ania reveals the emotional challenges of her youth, including the painful separation from a childhood friend and the strained relationship she had with her parents. She delves into her search for freedom and self-identity, which led her on a winding path through academia, where she studied languages and art despite the difficulties posed by dyslexia. She discusses the pressure to pursue an academic career, the toll it took on her sense of self, and the journey through various jobs—teaching, recruitment—until she finally found her passion in coaching and health.

    Ania also bravely addresses her obsession with food and health, her fear of therapy due to her family’s mental health history, and the life-changing events surrounding her father’s death and her brother’s accident. She reflects on the profound impact of grief, her father’s absence during her teenage years, and the complex process of mourning his loss.

    Through this deeply personal discussion, Ania highlights the importance of a supportive community, self-awareness, and the pursuit of fulfillment beyond material success. Her story emphasises the significance of embracing neurodiversity, personal growth, and the power of self-awareness. Ania closes the conversation by expressing her gratitude for the dialogue and recommending the podcast as a source of inspiration for others.
