In the very first episode of The Triple Effect, I sit down with my good friend Lottie Ryan for a deeply personal and revealing conversation. Lottie opens up about her marriage, the lessons she learned—though didn’t necessarily welcome—after the loss of her father, and the incredibly tough journey she faced during her pregnancy—an experience that tested her in ways she never expected and ultimately transformed her.

This episode offers a rare glimpse into a side of Lottie that most people rarely see. She’s insightful, grounded, and guided by a strong moral compass. Family is everything to her, and when confronted with the possibility of not carrying her pregnancy to full term, she uncovered a strength she didn’t know she had. That chapter in her life shaped a more powerful, self-assured version of herself—one who commands respect and isn’t afraid to speak her truth.

She also shares her honest thoughts on vulnerability, the pressures of public perception, and where she envisions her career going—on her own terms, not anyone else’s.

And to top it all off, I surprise Lottie with some very special news at the end of the episode—her reaction is just gorgeous!

The Triple Effect is a podcast that explores the lasting ripple effects of the people and moments that shape who we become. In each episode, I sit down with influential and well-known guests to reflect on the two individuals and one pivotal situation that profoundly impacted their lives.

First, we talk about someone close to them who had a powerful, positive impact. A mentor, a friend, a teacher—someone who saw their potential when others didn’t, stood by their side, or helped them find the courage to grow.

Then, we talk about a negative or challenging situation. Something that may have felt like a setback at the time, but ultimately led to transformation, resilience, and unexpected growth.

Finally, we explore someone they've never met, but who inspires them deeply. A role model, historical figure, or public personality whose influence continues to guide your path toward success, purpose, or inner peace.

The format leads to incredibly rich and unexpected conversations—ones that often take us down surprising paths and offer a rare glimpse into the lives of my guests. It’s a chance for both you, the listener, and me to connect with them on a deeply meaningful level.

I hope you enjoy these conversations as much as I do.
