    EP152: You’re Brilliant at Leading Everyone… Except Yourself

    Send us Fan Mail You lead your team. Your house. Your clients. Your family. Your children. Sometimes, it feels like you’re leading every bloody person you come into contact with (even if you don't actually know them!) But when was the last time you properly led yourself? In this week’s episode, I’m talking about the subtle leadership crisis so many capable, high-achieving people don’t even realise they’re in. Because there’s a HUGE difference between managing yourself and leading yourself. You can manage your diary, your inbox, your deadlines and everybody else’s expectations while completely abandoning the person underneath it all. And the most dangerous part? Survival doesn’t always look like struggling. Sometimes it looks organised, productive, respected and incredibly successful. It just also looks f*cking exhausted. In this episode, I explore: Why high achievers become brilliant at copingThe difference between self-management and self-leadershipHow success can disguise survivalWhy your business can’t outgrow the identity leading itThe question I return to whenever life gets difficult: Who do I choose to be?Why leadership eventually has to come home to youI also share some very exciting news. Tickets are officially on sale for: Be You Now The Identity Reinvention Event for Founders & Business Owners Taking place on Friday 4 September 2026 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel London Tower Bridge, this is a full-day live event for founders, business owners and leaders who know their next level requires more than another strategy. Because your business won’t outgrow your confidence, courage, standards, visibility or willingness to make difficult decisions. Eventually, every business bumps into the identity of the person leading it. Book your ticket here And while you’re here, come and find me: Instagram LinkedIn Facebook         Website The question I want you to sit with after this episode is: Where have I become so busy leading everyone else that I’ve forgotten to lead myself? Because the greatest act of leadership isn’t leading a team. It’s refusing to abandon yourself while you’re doing it. And you do not have to stay who you’ve always been.

    EP151: You Can't Build a Successful Business by Abandoning Yourself | with Nikola Howard

    Send us Fan Mail Most women don't burn out because they're weak (even though that’s quite often how we end up feeling when we do). It’s actually that most of us burn out because we've been taught that success means pushing harder, saying yes more often and putting ourselves last. In this episode, I sit down with award-winning health-led business coach Nikola Howard to unpack why the very habits we've been applauded for are often the ones slowly destroying our health, our businesses and our lives. Together we explore what happens when ambition collides with chronic illness, menopause, decision fatigue and hustle culture, and why looking after yourself isn't a luxury.  It's one of the smartest business strategies you'll ever adopt. From eating lunch properly to building better boundaries, this conversation is packed with practical ideas that will help you create success you can actually sustain. In this episode we talk about: • Why hustle culture was never designed with women in mind • The hidden cost of skipping lunch, living on caffeine and constantly pushing through • How your health affects your decision making, creativity and leadership • Why so many women abandon themselves in the pursuit of success • The identity shift from employee thinking to business owner thinking • Boundaries, people pleasing and why "No, thank you" really is a complete sentence • Decision fatigue and simple ways to reduce the mental load • Building a business around your energy instead of forcing yourself into someone else's schedule • The surprising connection between nutrition, productivity and better business decisions • Why joy isn't the reward for success. It should be part of the journey. Memorable moments "Lunch is the best business decision you can make." "If your business is killing you, something needs to change." "No, thank you is a complete sentence." "You cannot give from an empty cup." "Success feels like joy." If you've ever believed that exhaustion is simply the price of ambition, this episode might completely change the way you think about success.

    EP150: The Hardest Year of My Life... And Why I'd Do It Again

    Send us Fan Mail "This isn't the story of the year everything finally worked out. It's the story of the year I stopped waiting for it to" A year ago, I thought I was redesigning my business. I wasn't. I was redesigning the woman leading it. Over the last twelve months I've broken my arm, needed major surgery, battled a post-operative infection, left a job I'd spent years building, closed a community I absolutely loved, written my first book, published a journal, invested thousands into mentors, planned my biggest live event yet... and somehow still turned up here every single Friday. This isn't an episode about having it all figured out. It's about what reinvention really looks like when life refuses to stick to your plan. Because the truth is, reinvention isn't glamorous. It's f*cking messy. It's uncomfortable. It's full of waiting rooms, wobbling confidence and wondering whether you've completely lost the plot. But it's also where the most extraordinary version of your life begins. If you've ever found yourself saying... "I'll do it when..." ...when work calms down. ...when the kids are older. ...when I have more money. ...when I feel more confident. ...when life gets easier. This episode is for you. Inside this episode, we explore: ✨ Why reinvention starts long before your circumstances change. ✨ The hardest thing I've had to let go of (and it wasn't my job). ✨ Why your Survival Self deserves gratitude... but shouldn't be running your life. ✨ What breaking my arm taught me about identity. ✨ Why certainty is overrated. ✨ The surprising gift hidden inside one of the hardest years of my life. ✨ The one question that completely changed how I make decisions. Because maybe the question isn't... "When can I start?" Maybe it's... Who's leading? If this episode resonates with you, I'd love it if you'd share it with another woman who's standing at a crossroads right now. And if you've been with me for one episode or all 150... Thank you  This really does feel like the beginning of something even bigger. 👑 🔥 DOWNLOAD FREEBIES TO FUEL YOUR REINVENTION 📲 FOLLOW on Instagram and Facebook 🩷

    EP149: Why "I'm Becoming Her" Might Be the Most Comfortable Lie You Tell Yourself

    Send us Fan Mail Why "I'm Becoming Her" Might Be the Most Comfortable Lie You Tell Yourself  On language, money scripts and the identity you're building every time you open your mouth This week's episode came together from about four different places, and I'm not going to pretend it didn't. But it's also all kind of about the same thing: the words we use, the identities they're subtly building, and the very comfortable trap hiding inside one of the words we use most in this space. I start the episode talking about my VIP day with the brilliant Sue Jones-Miranda, human design queen and someone who has this unsettling ability to see straight through you in the best possible way. I'd been doing all the things, finishing the book, planning the September event, pushing forward on every front at once, and I could feel the burnout highway starting to appear on the horizon. The day with Sue brought me back to myself, back to what actually lights me up, writing and in-person connection, and reminded me that even when this is what you teach, it can be genuinely hard to see it in yourself. Then a few days later, at a property investing event of all places, a stranger said something to me that stopped me in my tracks. I'd casually said, more than once, that I'm financially illiterate. And he looked at me and said, quite gently but quite directly: well, that's the problem, isn't it. The way you're speaking about it. And he was completely right. In the episode I get into why that landed so hard, including the inheritance of that language from childhood, my dad's obsession with pensions, the rebellious kid in me who switched off, and the years of financial abuse in my marriage that reinforced an identity around money I've been carrying ever since. It was one of those moments where you realise a script is still running the show long after the circumstances that created it are gone. Which brings me to Abracadabra and why that is literally a magic word. And then there's the word I think we all need to be a lot more careful with.  Becoming. On the surface, it sounds like exactly the right word for this work. And in some ways it is. We need the vision. We need to know who we want to become. But becoming lives in the future tense, and the future tense is a very comfortable place to park your dreams indefinitely. Becoming, left unchecked, turns into permission to wait. It becomes a polite, socially acceptable way of saying later, babe. The shift I talk about in this episode isn't to stop having the vision. It's to stop letting her live permanently in the future tense and bring her into the now. Not become her eventually. Be her now. There's a difference, and it's everything. I close on the difference between predictability and possibility, and why so many of us choose the devil we know over the woman we're actually capable of being. Certainty isn't coming. But trust? That's available right now. In this episode: Why I nearly burnt out again and what a VIP day with Sue Jones-Miranda reminded me about coming back to myselfThe moment a stranger at a property event called out exactly what my language was building in real timeFinancial abuse, inherited money scripts and the identities we carry long after the circumstances are goneAbracadabra: I create as I speak, and what that actually means for the words you're using every dayThe trap inside the word "becoming" and why it might be keeping your dream permanently in the future tensePredictability versus possibility, and why trust is the only currency that actually matters hereMentioned in this episode: The EDIT Your Life Journal, available on Amazon now in paperback and hardback If this episode landed for you, please share it with the woman in your life who needs to hear it.

    EP148: Ready Isn't a Feeling. It's a Decision. Here's What That Actually Looks Like

    Send us Fan Mail There's a version of you who already knows exactly what she wants to do next. She's not waiting for the conditions to be perfect nor waiting for the fear to disappear. She's not waiting for a sign either.  She's just waiting for you to stop asking the wrong part of yourself for bloody permission. This week I'm getting personal, because I think this is one of the most important things I'll say on this podcast. Readiness isn't a feeling. It's a decision. And until you understand the difference, you'll keep waiting for something that was never coming. I talk about: Why the survival self will never give you the green light, and what to do insteadWhat the moment of knowing actually felt like, and why I still argued with it for monthsHow I built this business through chronic illness and why "I'll do it when things settle down" is the most expensive sentence you'll ever say to yourselfWhy the leap isn't the reinvention. It's the evidence of one that's already been happening underneathWhat Be Her Now actually means when nothing about the conditions feels rightThis isn't the highlight reel version. It's the real one.

    EP147: Am I Too Old For This at 47? Let's Do the Maths

    Send us Fan Mail A gorgeous human put her hand up at an event a couple of weekends ago, and asked if she was too old to change her career, start a business, and go after what she actually wanted. She was 47 years old. Forty-f*cking-seven. And I watched her ask it with genuine uncertainty on her face, the years of conditioning sitting right there in the room with her, whispering in her ear that she'd already missed her window. She hadn't by the way.  And if you've been secretly asking yourself the same question, neither have you. This episode is for her. And honestly, it's for every woman who has ever talked herself out of something brilliant just because she thought the timing had passed. In this episode I get into: The maths that completely reframes where you actually are in your adult life (this genuinely shifted something in my brain when I worked it out)Why "am I too old" is never really an age question, it's an identity questionThe Survival Self vs the Sovereign Self, and why the gap between them is exactly where the real work livesWhat my own reinvention has looked like this year, the surgery, the recovery, the Crohn's, the financial terror of leaving a senior salary behind, and the moments of what the fuck have I doneWhat actually changes when you do this identity work, and what life looks and feels like on the other sideYou're not in the second act of a life that's winding down. You're at the interval. The second half gets to be amazing if you design it that way. If this episode lands for you, send it to the woman in your life who needs to hear it today. The one who's been talking herself out of something. Be the person who finds her in the break and tells her she's not too bloody old.

    EP146 What Stops With You: The Legacy Nobody Talks About

    Send us Fan Mail Right, so this one started as a thought I had while driving with the roof down, which, for the record, is when literally all my best ideas happen (well, that and the shower!) I'd been thinking about legacy, and how we widely perceive it. Because we talk about legacy like it's something you build and leave behind. Whether it’s the career, or the body of work (or even the thing people say at your funeral). And yeah, that stuff matters. Of course. But the most powerful legacy I've ever witnessed in 20-plus years of watching people rebuild their lives?  It's not always about what you add. Sometimes it's about what stops. What stops with you. In this episode I get personal; I was born Emma, adopted as a baby, moved across England, and became Sarah Elizabeth before I was old enough to have an opinion about it. Reinvention wasn't a concept I discovered in a self-help book; it was literally my origin story. And somewhere in that early chapter, I made up a whole story about myself. A story that ran my life for bloody decades. It showed up in every relationship, every time I stayed too long, every time I held it all together and refused to ask for help. You'll probably recognise the shape of it, even if the details are different for you. Because I'm also going to describe someone to you in this episode. She's in her 40s or 50s, and she's built something genuinely impressive. And she wakes up most mornings already running her to-do list before she's even had a wee. She does everything so damn well, nobody looking at her would ever know that she feels completely empty inside. Maybe she cries in the car sometimes. Maybe she's googled burnout symptoms more times than she'd like to admit. Maybe she's done the therapy, the retreat, and bought umpteen journals she hasn't even opened. Yet she's still here, watching her own life from slightly outside of it. That woman isn't broken, and she’s abso-f*cking-lutely NOT failing at being a functional adult. She's just running an identity that was built for a completely different chapter, written by a completely different author. In this episode. we go into the Four Selves framework, specifically the Inherited Self (the identity you absorbed before you had the words to question it) and the Designed Self (who you already are when you stop being who everyone else needed you to be). We talk about the EDIT Code.  And I leave you with three questions that I genuinely think are more clarifying than any five-year plan. But, the big one: what stops with you? What pattern, what story, what survival behaviour are you done passing down? Because that question... that's where legacy actually lives. If this episode hits a nerve, send it to the woman in your life who's been doing all the things and still feels flat. She needs this conversation.

    EP145 The Tesla Code: Science, Spirit and the Identity Shift Nobody Told You Was Possible

    Send us Fan Mail You know that feeling when you've done absolutely everything right... and yet it still doesn't feel right? Yeah I see you. Well, you're not someone who just "can't have nice things".... You are basically running on a frequency that was built a long time ago, in a version of your life that no longer fits you anymore. And until that changes, you can work harder, plan more carefully, do ALL the things and still end up exactly where you started. That's what this episode is about. My guest today is Emma Deeks, the creator of the Tesla Code. A revolutionary energetic recalibration method that blends science-inspired principles around energy, electromagnetic fields, human performance and nervous system regulation with identity work that actually sticks. Emma helps people shift their internal state so their external reality has no choice but to follow. And yes, Nikola Tesla genuinely features. No, you don't need to be good at maths. Emma failed it four times! That's literally why it works. In this episode, we go into: The shower breakdown that led Emma to create the Tesla Code (and why that moment is the one she's most grateful for)Why raising your vibration alone isn't enough, and the static electricity principle that explains why what you want can keep repelling you even when you're doing the workThe electromagnetic field you're already broadcasting, and why 93% of whether people buy from you, trust you or feel drawn to you has nothing to do with what you sayFuture memory activation: the neuroscience-backed reason your brain can't tell the difference between now and then, and how to use that to stop making decisions from the version of you who's exhaustedWhy aligned action is not the same as busy action, and how Emma went from tens of thousands in debt to a six-figure business in six months by doing less of the wrong thingsThe identity piece. Because yes, your self-concept is setting the ceiling on everything. We get into this properly.Emma went into a business launch feeling like a failure. She'd already decided it wasn't going to work. And it didn't. But it wasn’t because of the strategy or the offer. It was because of the frequency she was broadcasting. She then created the Tesla Code, and tried it on 100 quid… She got it back within hours from a client she hadn't spoken to in years. She then tested it on £10,000…. She had it in her account in six hours. Is it magic?  Not exactly. It's energy, it's identity, it's aligned action, and it's the mathematics of Pythagoras (yes, really) applied to who you're becoming. This episode is for you if: You've been doing the mindset work and wondering why nothing's actually changed. You're high-achieving on the outside and totally exhausted on the inside. You're ready to stop performing the life you've built and start living the one that's actually yours. You suspect your internal state is running the show and you want someone to finally give you a method for shifting it. This is that.
