    I'm NOT Waiting for $600K to Stop People Pleasing [Season 1 Finale]

    You're successful, driven, and respected. You're also exhausted from over-delivering, burned out from people-pleasing, and tired of hiding parts of yourself to seem "professional enough." Sound familiar? What if all this is holding you back from feeling as happy as you can be... or keeping you stuck? In this unscripted, impromptu Season 1 finale, Chloe Temple opens up about her mission to stop people-pleasing, stop over-delivering to prove her worth, and chooses radical honesty over corporate palatability—even when it feels terrifying.

    3 Leadership Saboteurs to AVOID [Perfectionist, People Pleaser, Achievement Addict]

    You delivered a brilliant presentation. People loved it. You got great feedback. You should be celebrating. So why do you feel like it wasn't enough? In this unscripted and vulnerable episode, Chloe Temple planned to talk about purpose leadership—then realised five minutes before recording that she needed to address the shadow side instead.

You'll discover: The three dominant leadership saboteurs: the Achievement Addict, the Over-Deliverer, and the People PleaserWhy the gap between your expectations and reality is what creates disappointment—even after winsHow people pleasing disguises itself as virtue (commitment, consistency, showing up for others)The difference between Performance Leadership shadows (never enough) and Purpose Leadership shadows (giving too much)Why you can appear to lead brilliantly whilst abandoning leadership of your own lifeHow to tell if you're leading from purpose or just trying to control how others perceive youThe real cost of perfectionism: it's not a high standard, it's an impossible one Chloe also gets honest about the voice that says "shouldn't you hide your struggles if you're a coach?"—and why sharing them anyway is living her Why: to spark change so we can simply be our true selves. If you're exhausted from trying to meet your own impossible standards, burning out from over-giving, or people-pleasing your way through leadership—this raw conversation will help you spot which saboteurs are running your life.

    Big “P“ Purpose Vs little “p” purpose [Do you know your why?]

    Purpose isn't one thing. It's two. And most people spend their entire lives not knowing the difference—which is why they feel stuck, demotivated, or questioning if they're on the right path. In this raw and revealing episode, Chloe Temple gets brutally honest—she didn't want to record it. At all. With a full plate and saboteurs running wild, every part of her wanted to avoid hitting record. But she did it anyway. And that moment perfectly illustrates the difference between Big "P" Purpose (your unchanging Why) and little "p" purpose (the shifting whys that drive your daily decisions). You'll discover: The crucial difference between Big P Purpose and little p purpose—and why you need bothHow your Big P Purpose is formed by age 18 and becomes the golden thread running through your entire lifeWhy Chloe's little p purpose got her to press record today, but her Big P Purpose made her start the podcast in the first placeThe four major benefits of knowing your Why (including why things trigger you so deeply)Examples of Big P Purpose statements and what they reveal about who we are at our coreHow little p purposes change throughout your life—from family to health to career—and why that's completely normalWhy knowing your purpose is the most powerful tool for overcoming your sneaky saboteursThe concerning trend: finding purpose is now the third highest use case for generative AI in 2025 Chloe also shares her own Why statement—"to spark change so we can simply be our true selves"—and how it guides everything from major business decisions (including walking away from a multimillion-pound opportunity) to how she shows up on this podcast. If you've been feeling stuck, questioning whether you're on the right path, or wondering what's really driving you—this episode will help you get clear on both your constant North Star and your evolving motivations.

    The 'Just Survive Until My Holiday' Trap (And How to Avoid Immediately Needing Another)

    If you've just returned from summer holidays feeling like you need another break already, or you're currently in pre-holiday cramming mode, this episode is perfectly timed. Chloe opens up about being a reformed "holiday ninja" who used to obsessively map out the year to maximise time off, negotiate for more holiday days instead of pay rises, and land at 6am to go straight to work. Sound familiar? But here's the uncomfortable truth: if you're constantly needing to escape your work, the real problem isn't that you need better holidays — it's that you need work you don't need to escape from. You'll hear: Why the "just survive until my holiday" mentality guarantees you'll immediately need another oneThe three drivers of intrinsic motivation that make work feel like play (from Daniel Pink's "Drive")How to integrate holiday energy into your normal week instead of living boom-bust cyclesWhy leaders desperately need thinking space (and how over a third admit they don't create it)Chloe's new community experiment: weekly "CoThink sessions" for protected thinking time This isn't about working less or taking fewer holidays. It's about creating work you love and building sustainable recovery into normal life, so holidays become a bonus, not a desperate necessity.

    What 4 Years of FAILURE Taught Me About Resilience (And Bouncing Back)

You'll learn: Why non-attachment is critical if you want to keep going when things flop.The power of adaptability and why pivoting faster might save your energy (and sanity).How cultivating a growth mindset (à la Carol Dweck and Sarah Blakely’s lessons) is non-negotiable for leaders.Why self-compassion is the secret ingredient to bouncing back stronger. Plus, Chloe shares the real story behind her failed brand experiment ("The Ultimate Offsite") and the small rejections that stung more than the big flops.

    Are You Actually a Leader? [Alert: Imposter]

    Ever caught yourself questioning if you’re really a leader? Maybe you’re not managing a team right now. Maybe you’ve never held a big title or sat in a boardroom. Maybe deep down, you feel like a bit of an impostor when you step up, share your voice, or guide others. In this deeply honest episode, Chloe unpacks what it actually means to lead — and why most of us have it backwards. She explores: ✨ The hidden trap of “imposter syndrome” (and why the word ‘syndrome’ might be tripping you up) ✨ The powerful difference between managing and leading ✨ Why courage always comes before confidence ✨ Brene Brown’s game-changing definition of leadership ✨ How perfectionism stops us from leading (and why recovering perfectionists might actually be the best leaders) You’ll also hear personal stories — from Chloe’s own moment of unexpected leadership, sharing her mental health journey at work, to public examples like Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai, and Marcus Rashford — plus micro-moments of quiet leadership you might see in your own life every day. If you’ve ever waited for someone to give you permission to lead, or doubted your place in the room, this episode is for you. You don’t need a title. You don’t need a team. You just need to decide. 🎧 Tune in and discover what could shift if you gave yourself permission to lead yourself first — and how that single decision might change everything.
