    Ep #112 - How to Parent Your Teenager Through Exam Season

    During exam season, it’s so easy as a parent to slip into panic, pressure and control — especially when your teenager doesn’t seem to be revising enough, sleeping enough, eating properly, or taking it all as seriously as you think they should. But here’s the loving truth: you are not the one sitting the exam. In this episode, I’m talking about how to support your teenager through GCSEs or exam season without making their results mean something about you, your parenting, or their future. We’ll look at: – how to separate the facts from your brain’s drama  – why your teenager’s results are not a measure of your worth  – how to step into calm authority instead of emotional panic  – what you can control, and what you absolutely can’t  – how to create a supportive home environment without trying to control their motivation Because your job isn’t to force, nag or panic them into performing. Your job is to parent the child who is sitting the exam — with calm, steadiness and love. If exam season is bringing tension into your house, this episode is for you.

    Ep #111 - Do It Nervous

    Do you ever avoid doing something because you feel nervous, awkward or uncomfortable? Maybe it’s going somewhere on your own, asking for a refund, saying no, having a difficult conversation, or putting yourself in a situation where you might feel exposed. In this episode, I’m talking about why nervousness isn’t actually the problem — and why trying to get rid of it can sometimes make it feel even worse. I share a real-life example of going to the theatre on my own, how I prepared for the awkward bits ahead of time, and how visualising myself feeling nervous and doing it anyway helped me move through the discomfort without making it a drama. We’ll also look at why confidence doesn’t come before you do the thing. It comes after. Because the other side of awkwardness, nervousness and discomfort is often the confidence you’ve been waiting for. This week, I invite you to practise doing something uncomfortable on purpose — not something dangerous, not something that genuinely puts you at risk, but something your brain has been avoiding because it feels awkward. You don’t need to feel ready. You don’t need to feel confident. You don’t need to get rid of the nerves first. You can do it nervous. If this episode resonates and you’d love help applying this work to your own life, come and experience coaching with me. Talking it through with someone else can be one of the most transformative gifts you give yourself.

    Ep #109 - Grief Turned My World Upside Down — But I Rebuilt Something Beautiful with Emma Gray

    Content note: this episode contains conversation about grief, terminal illness, death, loss and the emotional impact of bereavement. In this deeply honest and moving conversation, I’m joined by Emma Gray to talk about what grief really looks like when your world has been turned upside down. Emma shares her experience of losing her husband, the shock of living through grief even when she thought she was prepared for it, and what the last 10 years have taught her about rebuilding life after loss. We talk about the reality of widowhood, the shame that can show up around paperwork and coping, the way grief affects your nervous system, and why joy still matters even after heartbreak.  This is such a beautiful conversation about compassion, emotional safety and learning that you do not have to “get over it” to create something meaningful again. Emma speaks so powerfully about growing life around grief, finding your people, and giving yourself permission to feel, heal and slowly rebuild something beautiful.  If grief has touched your life in any way, whether through the loss of a person, a relationship, an identity or an expectation, I think this episode will really speak to you.  In this episode, we talk about:  grief, bereavement and widowhood  terminal illness and loss  nervous system regulation in grief  why paperwork can feel so hard after loss  guilt, shame and stored grief in the body  permission to find joy again  rebuilding life after heartbreakEmma's links are: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rainbowhuntingmoments/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmacgray/ Free RHC Facebook community group page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/rainbowhuntingcommunity Newsletter sign up & website: https://www.rainbowhunting.co.uk/blog Paperwork membership: https://rainbowhunting.kartra.com/page/SortedSupportedSales  You can also watch this episode on YouTube with Captions - https://www.youtube.com/@TheWorkingWomensLifeCoach If you'd like to have a chat about how I can help you further, please don't hesitate to click here & book a time with me, I'd love to meet you.

    Ep #108 - Menopause, Teens and Total Mayhem with Jo Weatherall

    In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Jo Weatherall for a really honest, reassuring conversation about the particular chaos of navigating perimenopause whilst raising teenagers — when, quite frankly, everyone’s hormones can feel all over the place.  Together, we talk about why this stage of life can feel so intense, how Jo’s own journey led her from self-defence and confidence work into supporting women through menopause, and the small but powerful things that can help you feel more grounded, calm and in control.  We also chat about self-awareness, journalling, planning ahead, and why understanding your own patterns can make such a big difference when life feels like total mayhem.  Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that this season won’t last forever — and there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Ep #107 - Never Apologise for Who You Are with Maria Newman

    In this episode, I’m joined by Maria Newman for a really honest conversation about identity, confidence, and what happens when the world teaches you to tone yourself down. We talk about the pressure so many women feel to be less of themselves in order to fit in, be accepted, or be taken seriously — especially at work. Maria shares her own experience of being told she was “too much” in corporate, how that shaped the way she showed up, and why she now believes you should never apologise for who you are.  We also get into the beliefs we pick up as kids and adults, the exhaustion that comes from forcing an identity that isn’t really you, and why awareness gives you the power to choose something different. There’s so much in this conversation about being heard, backing yourself, and letting go of the version of you that was built just to keep everyone else comfortable.  Maria also shares some simple but powerful wisdom from The Four Agreements, including why making assumptions creates so much unnecessary emotional drama, and how being more intentional with your words can change the way you experience your life.  This one is for you if you’ve ever felt too much, not enough, too loud, too quiet, or like you’ve had to edit yourself to be accepted. In this episode, we cover: why you never need to apologise for who you arehow workplace and life experiences shape your identitythe difference between respecting your audience and changing yourselfwhy forcing an identity is so bloody exhaustinghow to challenge the beliefs you’ve been carrying around for yearspractical wisdom for communicating and living more truthfully I loved this conversation, and I think you will too. The 2 books Maria mentioned were: The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton  The 4 agreements by Don Miguel You can also watch this episode on YouTube with Captions - https://www.youtube.com/@TheWorkingWomensLifeCoach If you'd like to have a chat about how I can help you further, please don't hesitate to click here & book a time with me, I'd love to meet you.

    Ep #106 - Crystal Healing, Energy & Spiritual Awakening with Susan McCann

    In this episode, I’m joined by crystal healing therapist Susan McCann for a fascinating conversation about crystals, energy, communication and the messages our bodies might be trying to give us. We dive into what it means when energy feels stuck — especially around the throat chakra — and explore the link between speaking up, self-expression and healing.  Susan shares how her own spiritual awakening led her into crystal healing, how she began working with crystals for herself before supporting others, and what she’s learnt about the energetic frequency of different crystals along the way. We also chat about the crystals I’m wearing, what they may represent, and how certain stones can support things like heart healing, abundance, opportunity and communication.  It’s an open, honest and thought-provoking conversation that’ll leave you reflecting on what you might not be saying, where your energy may be feeling blocked, and how becoming more aware of yourself can open the door to healing.

    Ep #105 - Who Are You Beneath the Mask? with Sarah Bartlett

    In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Bartlett for a really honest conversation about self-awareness, psychometrics, masking, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to build a life and business that fits who you really are. We talk about how tools like psychometrics can help you understand your default patterns, strengths and needs more clearly — not so you can put yourself in a box, but so you can meet yourself with more compassion and make choices that work better for you. Sarah also shares her experience of being late-diagnosed with ADHD, the impact of spending years being who she thought other people wanted her to be, and how understanding herself more deeply has helped her begin to take the mask off.  We also get into the messy reality of self-employment, especially when structure both helps and frustrates you, the guilt that can come from not working in a “normal” way, and why knowing yourself better can help you build more support, accountability and connection into your life.  It’s a thoughtful, unfiltered conversation about identity, strengths, self-trust and giving yourself permission to do things differently. In this episode, we cover: how psychometrics can support self-awarenesslate-diagnosed ADHD and maskingwhy focusing only on weaknesses doesn’t workbuilding a business around your strengthsthe challenge of structure, freedom and accountabilityunderstanding yourself with more compassion Sarah joins me for a warm and honest conversation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to do life in a way that doesn’t quite fit, this episode will really speak to you.
