In this episode, I’m getting real about something so many of us experience—those times when you’re just not feeling it. The motivation’s gone, energy is low, and even the simplest business tasks feel heavy.

I share honestly about what's been going on behind the scenes for me, and how that’s impacted the way I show up—not just in my business, but in my body and mind too. If you’ve ever felt like stepping back (or disappearing altogether), this one’s for you.

Inside, I talk about:

• What might really be happening when you feel off—and why you’re not broken or lazy
• How I distinguish between needing a break vs. needing to reconnect
• The “bare minimum” mindset I turn to when showing up feels hard
• How structure (yep, even loose structure) can create more freedom, not less
• What I’ve learned about nervous system regulation—and how it affects motivation
• The journaling prompts, questions, and shifts that help me return to flow (gently)

This episode is about permission—permission to be human, to pause, and to come back slowly and intentionally. I hope it brings you insight, support, and the reminder that you're not alone in this.

🎧 Press play when you're ready to feel a little more grounded—and a little less stuck.

In this episode, I’m sharing something a little different — and something that’s had an incredible response in my community. It’s a replay of one of my most popular masterclasses, where I walk you through the real journey of one of my clients: from feeling frustrated, ghosted, and burnt out... to signing multiple clients and creating her first $4,330 month.

This is the first time I’ve broken down the full behind-the-scenes process — what we did, why we did it, and how she created lasting, sustainable results by aligning her business with her values.

In this episode, I’ll talk you through:

• Where she was when we started: overworked, underpaid, and questioning her worth
• The mindset shifts that changed everything — including how we tackled people-pleasing, mind-reading, and the fear of charging properly
• How we restructured her outreach, content, and sales process to reduce overwhelm and increase connection
• Why working harder wasn’t the answer — and what working smarter and deeper really looked like for her
• How we built a strategy rooted in clarity, simplicity, and sustainability (no cold DMs required)
• The power of boundaries, pre-qualifying clients, and learning to say “no” from a grounded place
• How she started to trust herself, back herself, and show up with more confidence than ever before

You’ll also hear how we celebrated small, process-based wins each week — and how those built into a powerful result that had her crying happy tears and messaging me with joy.

If you're a sensitive, heart-led business owner who wants to grow in a way that honours your energy and values, this episode is for you.

This is more than just a case study — it’s a real-world example of what becomes possible when you lead with integrity, clarity, and self-trust.

I would love to hear what lands with you so please do let me know,

In this episode, I welcome leadership coach, author, and speaker Rachel Radway, whose new book Perceptive explores the untapped power of high sensory perception in leadership.

With over 25 years in corporate leadership, Rachel shares her fascinating journey—from navigating global roles and language immersion to discovering her calling as a coach for highly perceptive and neurodivergent leaders.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has ever felt “too sensitive” in environments that value toughness over intuition. Tune in to explore:

• Rachel’s winding, multicultural career journey and how it shaped her coaching approach
• The surprising power of high sensitivity and what makes it a leadership superpower
• Common misconceptions around sensitivity and how they hold people back
• Insights from Rachel’s research and interviews with women leaders featured in Perceptive
• The challenges of masking, people-pleasing, and reclaiming your intuitive voice
• Why empathy, deep listening, and strategic thinking are more than soft skills—they're strengths

Whether you're a sensitive leader, a curious empath, or someone navigating a non-traditional path, this conversation offers validation, empowerment, and practical wisdom.

Find out why sensitivity isn’t a weakness—it’s a gift.
