    How to Stop People-Pleasing, Perfectionism & Overthinking in Business with Nikki St Paul

    In this episode of the Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Nikki St Paul, business coach and Good Girl Slayer, for a conversation about the subconscious patterns so many ambitious women are still carrying into business. Together, they talk about how people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking and the need for external validation keep women small,  and what it really takes to move with conviction, back yourself fully, and build success in a way that actually feels true.  Key Takeaways: Good girl conditioning follows you into business. The habits that once helped you fit in can quietly turn into people-pleasing, perfectionism and overthinking that keep your business stuck. Conviction matters more than getting it perfect. Nikki shares how real growth came from moving before she had proof, trusting herself, and making decisions without waiting for certainty. You do not need everyone to understand you. A big part of growth is being willing to be misunderstood by many so the right people can fully see and trust you. Pivoting is not failure. Changing direction, refining your message and starting small are often the exact moves that create momentum, and that momentum only happens when we position pivoting as opportunity, not failure.  Celebrate what is already working. Nikki talks honestly about how overachieving can rob women of joy, and why recognising your courage and progress changes everything.

    How to Use Human Design in Business for Visibility, Growth and Alignment with Emily Armitage

    In this episode of The Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Emily, a Human Design business coach and strategist, to explore how understanding your energetic blueprint can help you build a business that actually fits who you are. Together they talk about visibility, identity, motherhood, neurodivergence, business growth and why the most sustainable success often comes from working with yourself instead of constantly trying to override your natural way of operating. Key Takeaways: Human Design can be a practical business tool, not just a spiritual concept. Human Design can help you understand how your energy works, where your strengths sit, and what may need support in your business decisions, visibility and business model. Visibility gets easier when you build evidence that it’s safe to be seen. Rather than waiting to feel fully confident, showing up consistently helps your body learn that being visible, judged or misunderstood is survivable. Your business should work with your life, not against it. Emily shares how motherhood, neurodivergence, energy, boundaries and capacity all shaped the way she built her business, instead of forcing herself into someone else’s model of success. Embodiment takes longer than information. Knowing something intellectually is not the same as living it. Deep change in business identity, confidence and strategy takes time to land. You are not broken, you may just need a different blueprint. Whether the challenge is visibility, money, capacity or confidence, self-awareness should expand you, not box you in.

    Personal Branding for Women: How to Stand Out, Build Authority & Own Your Visibility with Paula Davies

    In this episode of The Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Paula, founder of Haus of Authority™, to talk about what it really means to build authority in business without squeezing yourself into an identity, brand or leadership style that was never truly yours. Together they talk about visibility, confidence, authenticity, personal branding, standing out online, and why the women who create the biggest impact are so often the ones who stop trying to fit the mould and start fully owning what makes them different. Key Takeaways: Authority starts with owning what makes you different. The thing that makes people choose you is rarely more strategy or more noise; it’s the part of your work, perspective and personality that only you can bring. You do not need to become louder to become more visible. Real authority is not about performing confidence online, it’s about having enough internal conviction in what you do that people can feel it whether you’re bold, quiet, gentle or outspoken. Blending in is expensive in business. If your brand sounds like everyone else, people may understand what you do, but they still won’t know why they should choose you over someone else. A strong brand should still work when life wobbles. When your authority is embedded into your whole business, your work can keep speaking for itself even when life forces you to step back for a moment. Failure is not proof you’re not good enough. The women who keep growing are usually the ones who stop making setbacks mean something personal and start treating them as information, feedback and redirection instead.

    Matrescence, Maternity Leave & Returning to Work as a Mum with Emma Ford

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Motherhood Empowerment Coach and Return to Work specialist Emma Ford to talk about what really happens when ambitious women become mothers and then have to navigate going back into the workplace. They talk about everything from matrescence and postnatal depression to the loneliness of new motherhood, the messy reality of UK maternity policy, and the pressure women feel to ‘have it all’ at home and at work, often with very little honest support from either side. Key Takeaways: Motherhood changes your identity, not just your diary. Becoming a mum isn’t a quick life admin update; it’s a hormonal, emotional and identity shift (matrescence) that reshapes your priorities, capacity and sense of self - whether you expected it or not. Honest conversations reduce loneliness more than perfect support. Even with more podcasts, coaches and communities than ever, many mothers still feel lonely because we’re censoring our real experiences instead of saying, “this is hard and here’s what it actually looks like for me.” You can’t project‑manage your way out of the hard bits. No amount of lists, classes or colour‑coded calendars will fully prepare you for how motherhood feels, and trying to optimise every moment often just adds pressure instead of creating space. Returning to work needs more than a date in the calendar. A welcome back email and a couple of KIT (keeping in touch) days are not a re‑onboarding plan; women need clarity, realistic expectations, and a space to rebuild confidence if they’re going to stay and thrive rather than quietly leave. ‘Having it all’ has to be redefined on your terms. For some women that’s the corporate ladder, for others it’s flexible work, entrepreneurship or a complete pivot - but it only works when you’re willing to be honest about your capacity, your season and what you’re prepared to compromise on.

    Shadow Work for Entrepreneurs: Why High-Achieving Women Still Burn Out with Suzie Cuthbertson

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by shadow work expert and founder of Subconscious Couture, Suzie - also known online as ‘ShadowB*tch’ - for a conversation about shadow work, capacity and self‑abandonment in business. Together they unpack how your disowned parts quietly run the show, why so many high‑achieving women still hit burnout even when they’re ‘doing the work’, and what it actually takes to build a business that doesn’t just look good from the outside but feels genuinely sustainable on the inside. Key Takeaways: Your shadow is running more of your life than you think. Shadow parts are the pieces of you you’ve shut down or disowned to survive, from the people‑pleaser to the performer to the victim. Until you bring them into the light, they keep quietly dictating your decisions, relationships and business results from the background. You don’t need to kill off old versions of you to grow. Trying to bury past selves and old identities just creates more shadow and more inner conflict. The real liberation comes when you let those parts back in and start working with them instead of pretending they’re not there. Most women are leaking capacity long before they hit burnout. You can restructure your diary and hire more help, but if you don’t address underlying patterns, you’ll keep feeling maxed out no matter how much you change on the surface. Healing work that keeps you circling the past isn’t enough. There’s a difference between endlessly processing and actually shifting - insight alone can leave you sitting in your story, whereas deeper shadow work is about moving emotions through and changing how you show up now. The strategy that really moves your business is who you’re willing to be. When you stop compromising on your own energy, stop diluting your edge, and allow yourself to be as weird, wacky and wonderful as you really are, the money and momentum become a byproduct instead of a constant uphill push.

    Women in Business, Gen Z Careers & the Truth About Mum Entrepreneurship with Robin Schweiger

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with a very special guest - her daughter, Robin. They have an unfiltered conversation about what building a business as a woman actually looks like from the inside and the front row. They answer your listener's questions, and talk about inherited work habits, the clash between caregiving and ambition, the illusion of freedom in entrepreneurship, and why Gen Z is both drawn to and wary of the entrepreneurial dream. They also explore stats for women‑led businesses, what kids really notice about always‑on work, and how both generations are redefining what a good, sustainable life at work actually means. Key Takeaways: Your work habits are inherited as much as designed. Growing up around hustle, burnout or structure shapes how you see work, risk and career - whether you copy it, rebel against it, or consciously choose something in between. Caregiving and ambition will always be in conversation. When you’re the one holding more of the mental and emotional load at home, it inevitably influences the risks you take, the pace you grow at, and what success feels safe to pursue. Entrepreneurship isn’t the shortcut to freedom it’s sold as. Flexible hours often come with fewer real breaks, more late nights, and a constant low‑level responsibility that follows you on holidays and into bed. The system is still skewed, but you’re not powerless. Even when funding and opportunity aren’t distributed equally, you still get to decide how you pitch, where you seek support, and whether you build something that can grow without permission. Every generation is rewriting what ‘a good life’ at work looks like. Younger women are questioning traditional paths, experimenting with entrepreneurship, and forcing a more honest conversation about trade‑offs, capacity and what they actually want their days to feel like.

    What to Wear for Business, Menopause & Body Confidence with Savile Row Tailor Nooshin White

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Nooshin, a women’s tailor working out of London’s iconic Savile Row, to talk about why what you wear as a woman in business is so much more than just clothes. Nooshin shares how tailoring became both her craft and her way of serving ambitious women who want their wardrobe to match the life they’re building. They explore confidence, menopause, surgery, changing bodies, post‑Covid workwear, motherhood, delegation, and why having a visiting tailor come to your office or home can be both deeply practical and quietly luxurious. Key Takeaways: Clothes can be a quiet strategy for confidence. The right pieces shift posture, presence and self‑belief, especially in rooms where you need to feel anchored and visible. Tailoring is about life transitions, not just looking smart. Thoughtful cuts and fabrics can hold you through promotions, menopause, surgery and body changes, not just make you look smart. Entrepreneurship is not as glamorous as it looks. Behind Savile Row showrooms are years of hustling, rebuilding after Covid and stretching every pound to keep a vision alive. It’s not just sipping champagne and making lots of money all the time.  Growth needs delegation and boundaries. You cannot scale a business by doing everything yourself; asking for help is part of serving clients better and protecting your energy.  Women’s networks are a business superpower. Generational role models and modern‑day allies make it easier to take risks, escalate decisions and keep going when things feel hard.

    Breaking Generational Patterns and Limiting Beliefs as a Woman with Kirsty Mason

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with certified identity coach Kirsty Mason to explore what it really means to become the main character in your life and business. From being literally trained to stay invisible as a sign language interpreter, to standing on stages and leading women through deep mindset and nervous system work, Kirsty shares the messy, honest truth behind reinvention in your 30s and 40s. They talk about money stories, visibility fears, generational patterns, motherhood, relationships, and why surface-level ‘good vibes only’ mindset work will never create the freedom you’re craving. Key Takeaways: Your career can reflect your childhood beliefs Kirsty realised she had spent 16 years in a job that literally kept her quiet, mirroring a childhood belief that she ‘wasn’t important enough to be heard’. Once she saw this pattern, she understood why she had chosen a role that kept her in the shadows and why it no longer felt aligned. Deep mindset work goes beyond journaling What most of us consume online is surface-level mindset: gratitude lists, affirmations and ‘think positive’ content that doesn’t touch the beliefs we’ve carried for decades. True transformation needs subconscious work and nervous system regulation, not just nicer thoughts on paper. Your nervous system has an income ceiling too You can only earn as much as your nervous system can safely hold, which is why so many women hit the same money ceiling no matter how hard they work. Unless you work on your relationship with money and your capacity to receive, strategy alone will always feel like it’s not working. Success is personal, not a 10k month The online obsession with 5k and 10k months creates pressure, shame and comparison for women who are actually doing really well by their own standards. Success might look like freedom of choice, flexibility, or feeling present with your kids, not a number. Generational change starts in your living room Kirsty sees herself as a ‘generational chain breaker’, intentionally changing the language she uses, how she talks about money, and the way she models possibility to her children.  If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Kirsty on Instagram @kirsty_mason_coaching. You can also listen to Kirsty’s Secret Free Podcast ‘Selling on Stories Like a CEO’ where she teaches how to create consistent, predictable sales through your Instagram stories.  Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!
