In today's episode I share four personal stories (featuring an untied shoelace, a misguided makeup attempt, a very stuck truck, and a near-miss in the Himalayas) that all point to a simple truth: sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is stop.

If you’ve been pushing, striving, switching strategies, spinning your wheels and not getting traction, this is your invitation to pause.

I hope this episode feels like a deep breath and a gentle call to a better way.

You’ll also hear a little about The Orchard, my 12-month mentoring program for women and nonbinary business owners who are ready to move beyond overwhelm, into clarity, focus and flow.

The doors to The Orchard are now open. We start on 14 August.
If you feel drawn to be part of it, or you're curious to learn more, I'd love to hear from you. Get in touch through my website or DM me on Instagram

This episode is a personal share from me. I've been noticing some beliefs I’ve picked up in recent years. While they do make sense, I've realised that they might actually be holding me back.

These thoughts seemed wise and protective… but they also quietly undermine who I am and how I want to be.

So in this episode, I take you behind the scenes into my reflections - how I’m turning down the volume on some unhelpful thoughts, and amplifying some more helpful ones instead.

It's a thought upgrade. Are you due for one too?

In this episode, I guide you through a simple but powerful exercise inspired by the 'she doesn't know it yet, but...' socials trend, with a meaningful twist. It's about helping you tune into what you really want, creating more clarity, alignment and momentum.

You might call it manifesting (I share some thoughts on that too).

Have a listen, try the exercise.
And see what unfolds.
