The Good Listening To Show: Stories of Distinction & GeniusAuthor: Chris Grimes - Facilitator. Coach. Motivational Comedian
Telling the Stories of Humanity, one story at a time with a unique and thoroughly enjoyable Storytelling structure, that's been likened to having a 'Day Spa' for your Brain in an Oasis of Kindness! With the founding premise of the Show being: "Everybody has an interesting story to tell, provided that you give them the courtesy of a damned good listening to!" If you tell your Story 'out loud' then you're much more likely to LIVE it out loud" and that's what this Show is for: To help you to tell your Story - 'get it out there' - and reach a large global audience as you do so. It's the Storytelling Show in which I invite movers & makers, shakers & mavericks, influencers - and also personal heroes - into a 'Clearing' (or 'serious happy place') of my Guest's choosing, as they all share with us their stories of 'Distinction & Genius'. Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a 'Clearing' and with Stories rather than Music. Cutting through the noise of other podcasts, this is the storytelling show with the squirrels & the tree, from "MojoCoach", Facilitator & Motivational Comedian Chris Grimes. With some lovely juicy Storytelling metaphors to enjoy along the way: A Clearing, a Tree, a lovely juicy Storytelling exercise called '5-4-3-2-1', some Alchemy, some Gold, a couple of random Squirrels, a cheeky bit of Shakespeare, a Golden Baton and a Cake! So it's all to play for! So - let's cut through the noise together and get listening!

Legacy Life Reflections with Sue Garrett: A Nurse for Life, a Fierce Love for Family and a Purveyor of Fine Cakes!
Monday, 6 July, 2026
Send us Fan MailA life can look ordinary from the outside, right up until you hear the moments that quietly changed everything. I’m joined by Sue Garrett, a retired nurse, mother, grandmother, baker, music lover, and devoted wife, for a Legacy Life Reflections conversation that moves between laughter and real, lived tenderness. We start where Sue feels most clear headed: her garden near Leeds Castle, a personal “clearing” filled with books, soundtracks, and the kind of busyness that soothes rather than drains.Sue traces how sailing arrived as an unexpected rescue after a painful divorce, sparked by driving her son to a YMCA club and being asked to update their medical certification. From there we widen into the people and patterns that shape a life: strict, loving parents; a powerful bond with her brother; and the long aftershocks of betrayal when the past remains close by at family events. Along the way, we pick up vivid details that make Sue’s story feel tangible: the “gaggle” of grandchildren, international babysitting, the joy of planning celebration cakes, and even a tightly run local gin club.At the heart of our chat is rare dementia caregiving. Sue speaks with unvarnished honesty about Andy’s frontotemporal dementia, what it means to love someone when so much changes, and how she keeps showing up with music, coffee, chocolate, and presence. We end with the values Sue wants to leave behind and her determination to support rare dementia research so other families do not have to walk the same path in the dark. If Sue’s story resonates, please subscribe, share with someone who needs it, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.
