SUMMARY:UNSTUCK LIVE - NEWCASTLE
DESCRIPTION:Four experts. Four problems. Four solutions. One evening in Newcastle that gives you more actionable clarity than most people get from a year of consuming content on their own. \nYou don’t have an information problem. You have enough podcasts\, courses\, and content to fill a lifetime. What you don’t have is a clear\, specific strategy to solve every problem holding you back. \nThis isn’t an information event. It’s an implementation event. \nYou won’t leave with a list of notes and a head full of things to think about. You’ll leave with four practical frameworks you can use immediately.\nWHO IT’S FOR: \nThis evening is for you if you’re dealing with any of the following: \n• Emotional eating and a difficult relationship with food that no diet has ever fixed\n• Weight loss struggles that keep ending in the same place no matter how hard you try\n• Food noise – the constant mental chatter around eating that exhausts you\n• Past experiences or trauma you know are affecting you but don’t know how to move past\n• Fear\, anxiety\, and limiting beliefs that stop you before you even begin\n• Low motivation\, low self belief\, and the feeling that everyone else finds this easier than you do \nNobody sells from this stage. This is not the kind of event where someone spends two hours building rapport before pitching a £3\,000 programme at the end. The transformation comes from attending the event itself and implementing what each speaker gives you. One payment. Nothing sold on the night. Ever. \n• 4:30pm – Doors open. Arrive\, get seated\, get settled\n• 5:00pm – Luke Harrison. Energy & Routine\n• 5:30pm – Tracy Holmes. Fitness & Health\n• 6:00pm – 15-minute break\n• 6:15pm – David Francis. Mindset & Self Belief\n• 6:45pm – Sam Gibson. Food Behaviour & Emotional Eating\n• 7:30pm – Close \n01 — Luke Harrison | Energy & Routine\nKeynote: The Most Honest Audit of Your Life You’ve Ever Done\nLuke has spent over 20 years understanding why people fall off every wagon they climb onto – not from a position of having it figured out\, but from living every version of getting it wrong first. In 45 minutes he’ll take you through the exact framework from his bestselling book. You’ll leave knowing precisely where you are\, exactly why you’ve been stuck\, and for the first time in a long time\, exactly what to do next. This isn’t a motivational speech. It’s a mirror. \n02 — Tracy Holmes | Fitness & Health\nKeynote: How Fitness Helped Me Survive the Worst Year of My Life\nA former specialist nurse turned women’s fitness coach\, Tracy’s keynote draws on her deeply personal journey through grief\, trauma\, and loss – including the devastating loss of her brother. Movement and routine became her lifeline when life felt unbearable. She’ll change the way you think about resilience\, mental health\, and the powerful connection between your body and your ability to survive the hardest moments of your life. \n03 — David Francis | Mindset & Self Belief\nKeynote: You Are The Hero\nDavid will challenge you to confront the narrative that has been making your decisions\, eroding your self trust\, and keeping you smaller than you know you should be. The stories you’ve been telling yourself weren’t chosen – they were learned and inherited. You’ll leave with clarity you haven’t felt in years and the kind of self belief that doesn’t need anyone else’s permission to exist. \n04 — Sam Gibson | Food Behaviour & Emotional Eating\nKeynote: Why You Overeat and How to Stop for Good\nThe behavioural truth behind overeating that has nothing to do with willpower or discipline. Sam specialises in food noise\, overeating patterns\, and the binge restrict cycle – and in this session you’ll diagnose your dominant overeating pattern\, identify your triggers\, and walk away with real practical solutions that can reduce overeating by up to 70% in real time. Once you understand the real mechanism driving your relationship with food\, everything changes. \n
