Have you ever stood at the crossroads of high performance and personal well-being, wondering which path to take? That's the heartbeat of our latest episode, where we welcome Brook Bishop, a trailblazer in personal development and operational mastery for profitability. Our walk down memory lane begins with the emblematic purple gown, marking the dawn of my entrepreneurial adventure and Brook's profound influence on it. Together, we unravel the complexities of leading at the top while maintaining the equilibrium of our health and happiness. Brook's experience with renowned industry leaders lends a rich perspective on the price of relentless ambition and the wisdom in knowing when to pause for self-care.


Navigating the stormy seas of perfectionism, this conversation dives into the overwhelming pressures women face to excel in every aspect of life.

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, torn between the comfort of cold hard facts and the whisper of your intuition? Join me as I recount my own evolution from a staunch executive to a spiritual seeker, finding that the embrace of 'woo'—those mystical, less tangible aspects of experience—can yield profound joy and success. This episode is a candid and vulnerable exploration of breaking free from long-held stereotypes and conditioning, where I reveal how tuning in to feminine energy and inner guidance has enriched my life and decision-making processes. It's a heartfelt conversation meant to inspire and resonate with any soul curious about the transformative power of integrating intuition into their personal and professional worlds.
Today's narrative weaves through the enchantment of life's synchronicities, inviting you to consider the magic in every 'coincidence'. I'll share the serendipitous tale of how an impulsive trip to Norway and the determination to own a new home were milestones on my path, guided by intuition. We celebrate the fusion of feminine power and spiritual insight with entrepreneurial grit, discussing how embracing our full range of abilities—including those labelled as 'woo'—can accelerate success and fulfilment. Whether you're a sceptic or a believer, this episode promises to offer a fresh perspective on the power of the unseen forces that guide us.

When my husband's shoulder injury became an unexpected mirror for our own daughters' physical movements, it set us on a path of discovery about the profound ways in which our children reflect our behaviours and emotions. This episode uncovers the hidden threads connecting our well-being to that of our family, and how self-care extends beyond ourselves to those we love. Join us as we delve into personal stories and insights, revealing the significant impact our own health—both emotional and physical—has on creating a nurturing environment for our children to flourish.
Weaving through the narratives of societal expectations and the inherited emotional burdens we carry, this conversation is a call to prioritise personal healing as a means to break the chains of generational pain. It's about understanding that when we work on ourselves, we're not only transforming our lives but also the emotional climate of our families. Our discussion encourages a shift in perspective, viewing self-care not as an act of selfishness but as an essential step toward fostering healthier relationships and empowering our children to become their best selves.

Have you ever felt the sting of self-criticism after failing to meet your own harsh discipline standards? Together with Jaclyn, we unravel a more compassionate approach to achieving your ambitions, one that replaces the rigidness of discipline with the nurturing power of devotion. Uncover a transformative way to pursue your goals that doesn't just allow for joy and sustainability, but actively encourages it. We dissect the traditional narrative that champions a forceful, often masculine, paradigm of success and introduce you to a gentler, yet equally potent, alternative. No matter the realm—be it athletics, personal growth, or any sphere where excellence is sought—this episode will guide you toward a path of thriving without the harsh lash of self-critique.
Step into the world of cyclical productivity, where we honour the feminine influence on how we work, rest, and achieve. Jaclyn and I delve into the importance of aligning with the natural rhythms of our bodies and how this can enhance our effectiveness, balance, and overall well-being. We challenge societal norms that pressure us to put others first at the expense of our own needs, highlighting instead the significance of personal devotion and self-care. By integrating both masculine and feminine energies, this episode offers insight into crafting a life filled with greater ease, joy, and alignment with what matters most to you. Let's embark on a journey of self-discovery where devotion, not discipline, is the guiding star.
