    What We Need To Know About Peri/Menopause with Sarah Gray

    What if the brain fog, mood shifts, weight changes, and sense of losing yourself weren't signs that something was wrong with you, but signs that your body was going through one of the most significant transitions of your life? In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Gray, pharmacist, nutritionist, certified menopause practitioner, and author of It's Not You, It's Perimenopause. With over 25 years in health and wellness, Sarah has built a reputation as one of Australia's most trusted voices in science-based perimenopause care and this conversation is packed with the kind of honest, practical insight that so many of you have been desperately searching for.

    It Works If You Do It Your Way

    One of the best things about being your own boss? You can work in your pyjamas and that's exactly what I'm doing in this episode! But it's about so much more than just comfort, it's about recognising that you get to make the rules now. You can choose your hours, work under a blanket if that soothes your nervous system, and build routines that actually suit you. This episode is a gentle reminder that when you run your own business, you don't have to follow someone else's version of how things "should" be done. Let's talk about creating a sustainable way of working that honours who you are and what you need.

    What is Self-Neglect?

    I am absolutely thrilled to share that today is officially publication day for From Self-Neglect to Self-Compassion! To celebrate, I wanted to do something a little different for the podcast this week. Instead of a standard business tip or strategy, I sat down to read you one of the excerpts from the book. You know that part of you that gets snarky, "prickly", or just plain rude when you are stressed? I call that part of me my inner hedgehog and that part of you needs a hug just as much as the other parts. Pop your earbuds in for a short, honest reading about why befriending your shadow side is the game changer you didn't know you needed.

    Speaking Up For Yourself And Your Business with Sally Prosser

    In this episode, I'm joined by voice coach Sally Prosser to dismantle the myth that you need to be perfectly polished to be heard, revealing why your "stumbles" might actually be the key to deeper connection. We dive into the psychology of safety, the vital difference between time management and "energy mastery," and the wild story of how she manifested a meeting with Oprah; if you're ready for "business audibility" and to find the courage to speak your truth, this conversation is the one you've been waiting for.
