Hi, and welcome to the very first Open Leaf podcast. I'm Noel Walker and thank you so much for joining me. I'll leave all the links and the notes below but for now… let’s imagine we are meeting for the very first time, just me talking directly to you.
So why this podcast and why now?
Well, for a long time we've had the books, the online courses, the mentoring but it's always been on a one-to-one basis. However, deep down I have always known I should be reaching out to more people to create something that speaks honestly, openly, and helps anyone who's trying to make sense of life, not just the few.
Then came July the third, 2025. I was diagnosed with rectal cancer. Yes, life has a sense of humour. You see my main book is literally called Get the Life You Want. And now here I was facing this massive shift, but it wasn't just a diagnosis, it was a wakeup call and in truth, part of me already knew something was coming I’d been holding back for years because I chose not to step fully into what I felt called to do, even though I'd set everything up ready to do so.
So long story short, it was early July. I was in London. My medical consultation had just finished, and I walked back to the station in the rain with an urgent GP referral letter in hand, feeling numb, went back on the train and mulling things over. It wasn't long after having pulled out of the station. That a thought as clear as day came to mind.
It hit me, I was basically learning the hard way. I laughed to myself, how often had I said this to others… you'll learn either the easy or the hard way, the choice is yours.
So yes, here I was learning the hard way. Life was literally giving me a kick up the backside.
That thought truly resonated because for over a decade, I’d been helping others get the life answers they needed, the health, the joy, the relationships, the work and the lifestyle that best suited them. But I had chosen not to fully follow my own advice, all because I fundamentally lacked confidence to address larger audiences, even though I get so much joy from helping others, and I know this is what I'm meant to be doing.
So why the podcast?
Well, in a nutshell, it's me finally showing up with honesty, with curiosity, and with hope, and it's all thanks to Sandra, who by a chance remark provided the solution. We are now bringing open leaf to life in a whole new way. It's best foot forward.
Plus, it would be fair to say I don't want to learn an even harder life lesson!
So, within these podcasts, you'll hear stories, lessons, tools, and maybe most importantly, real time learning as I'll also be sharing my recovery back to full health, and importantly, getting myself the full life experience, the one I should have been experiencing, but previously only partially, all because I held back.
And the opportunity is exactly the same for you. All will be logically explained, and to kickstart the process for you as a subscriber, you'll have free access to the online Get The Life You Want (GTLYW) pocket guide Course.
This will very quickly give you a full overview as to the incredible opportunity you have in front of you. Also, you'll discover how to realize your full potential and live the life you were born to experience and in so doing, reap all the incredible benefits and rewards from continually doing so.
You'll also discover just how incredible, capable and powerful you are. I mean after all, whether you appreciate it fully or not as yet, for whatever reasons you drew me and this experience to you. So, you’re obviously looking for some answers.
Now, after sharing all of that, I'd love to bring Sandra in because what followed after that wakeup call was a conversation, a real one.
And that's exactly how we want these podcasts to feel… like we're sitting down exploring life and discovering how we can all be all that we can be and experience this on a continuing basis.
And if that's not all to get there in the shortest possible time. So look, if you’re not experiencing the life you so truly want, take some time out to review and explore this opportunity further. It's never too late to try and get your life back on track.
This is what I love doing, and if you want to see what it is you should be experiencing, what it is you were born to experience, or to put it another way, the life you would be living as a result of you being able to continually realize your full potential - a result of you being all that you can be, and on an ongoing basis, simply put, this would be the perfect life for you and it's there for you, all you need to do is just get back on track. So, there's one reason to explore things further.
Another is if you want to know why you're experiencing what you are, what you can do, and how you can move quickly from the life you are currently experiencing to the life you so truly want. Remember… the one you were born to experience and to get back on track in the shortest possible time is another.
A third reason to join us is if you want logical explanations all the way through to one-to-one, step-by-step support. All these different levels are available as well as now the opportunity to hear explanations and questions answered in these ongoing podcasts. And this is why Open-Leaf is here because the truth is very simple.
We are all looking to experience exactly the same thing. We all want happy, healthy, fulfilling lives that are passion, purpose, and meaning at their core. These are the objectives we all want to experience, and on an ongoing basis.
So if you are lacking one or more, then join us. The offer is there.
If you want to discover how to get more happiness back into your life, get the right relationships for you, maybe it's finding work you love, that you are passionate about, maybe even its finding true meaning, purpose, or direction to your life. What drives you? What brings joy into your life? How do you get the very best of both worlds? Or like me, get yourself back to experiencing full health.
If you are wanting to hit the ground running and just see how things go personally, I'd go for subscription Level 2.
Why?
Well, not only do you get the full overview and insight with the online, get the Life you Want, pocket Guide Course but you also with Level 2, get more regular podcasts and critically, the 10-week online program. Which is there to actually help you implement all in a daily, step-by-step progressive way.
I know it's fantastic, so before answering a few questions, adding the disclaimer and wrapping up, I just want to say thanks for stopping by. Really looking forward to you joining us in our next podcast and also, allowing me to be part of this new chapter with you. It really is going to be incredible journey.
And I'll show you exactly why, because once you join us, you'll discover not only how truly perfect you are as you are, but also that your uniqueness is the key to all as well as how incredible you are at bringing about the right experiences for you, and I should add the speed at which you'll be able to do so once you get all to align, until then, have a truly fantastic day wherever you are.
Now you may still have one or two reservations, for example.
I don't have time…
Well, that’s exactly why we structure things as we have.
We've got podcasts for those relaxing on the go times plus the online courses actions are five to 15 minutes and they're all under your control. Tiny steps, consistent results.
I've tried before…
You changed tactics, but you didn't have a map to follow. Now you do.
What if I get overwhelmed?
Well, okay, I've been there but, in this area, my passion, we go forward, structure first, action second, support throughout.
And lastly, what if this isn't me?
Well, to be fair, it is wholly built on your values and physiology. Your uniqueness is the point within the framework of what life offers.
So relax, you've got this and remember, it makes no difference your age, your sex or even where you are in life right now. What truly matters is what you do now and from now on, so take this opportunity and try it. Try it for a month or two.
So what is it? What is it that you'd like to address first? Come on, come and join us.
