    Ep. 193 - Why Smart People Lose Control at Work (And What It Reveals About All of Us)

    Send a text Have you ever noticed how quickly things can shift at work? One minute someone is calm and confident… the next they’re micromanaging, over-explaining, shutting down, or questioning everything. If you’ve ever felt confused by that, or caught yourself doing it too, this episode will help it all make sense. In this conversation, you’ll learn how control, ego, and significance quietly drive the way people behave under pressure. When someone feels like they’re losing control, their behaviour changes - and each personality type reacts differently. You’ll start to recognise the patterns: the leader who suddenly pushes harder, the people-pleaser who tries to win everyone back, the quiet team player who withdraws, or the over-thinker who spirals into analysis. But here’s the powerful shift: it’s rarely about competence. It’s about significance. When you understand what’s really happening underneath these reactions, you stop shrinking, stop second-guessing, and start navigating workplace dynamics with far more clarity and confidence.

    Ep, 192 - Control, Ego & Significance: The Hidden Forces Driving Your Leadership

    Send a text You’re smart. Capable. Hardworking. But when things feel uncertain at work - when promotions are missed, feedback stings, or someone else gets recognised - something tightens inside you. This episode unpacks what’s really happening. You’ll explore the powerful loop between control, ego, and significance, and how your need to feel valued can quietly drive overworking, overthinking, micromanaging, or withdrawing. You’ll see how imposter syndrome isn’t a capability issue - it’s identity protection. And you’ll learn why trying to control everything around you never actually creates internal safety. Key takeaways: Control is often your attempt to regulate discomfort.Ego isn’t arrogance - it’s protection.Your worth cannot be performance-dependent.True confidence comes from internal grounding, not external validation.If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, downplayed your strengths, or felt triggered by workplace dynamics, this episode will give you language, clarity, and relief. And next week? You’ll get the framework to change it. Loved this episode?

    Ep. 191 - Stronger Than Skinny: Reclaiming Your Body, Reclaiming Yourself

    Send a text You’ve spent years measuring your worth by how you look. This episode invites you to shift the question from “Do I look good enough?” to “What can my body do for me?” Inspired by a powerful conversation on The Diary of a CEO with Steven Bartlett and leading female medical experts, you’ll explore the truth about hormones, perimenopause, strength, and why understanding your body is one of the most empowering things you can do. You’ll also hear a raw reflection on body comparison, gym culture, and the subtle ways jealousy and self-criticism creep in — even when you think you’ve “done the work.” Key takeaways: Shift from appearance to capability: strength over skinny.Understand your hormonal baseline as a foundation for long-term health.Replace comparison with gratitude and self-respect.If you’re tired of second-guessing your reflection and ready to feel powerful in your own skin, this one’s for you.

    Ep. 190 - Own It: The Communication Shift That Changes Everything at Work

    Send a text You’re smart. You’re capable. But when pressure hits at work, do you defend… justify… over-explain? In this episode, you’ll learn how to communicate in a way that earns trust, influence and real respect - especially when you’re reporting up (or managing down). Here’s what you’ll take away: Ownership builds power. When you make a mistake, less defending and more owning changes everything. A simple apology and accountability builds credibility faster than 10,000 excuses ever will.Pause before you fire. If you’re naturally fiery or emotional, learning when to hold back - and read the room - will instantly elevate how you’re perceived.Clarity creates confidence. What you put in writing (carefully) builds structure, boundaries and protection - but tone and timing matter.If you’ve been feeling misunderstood, micromanaged or frustrated with leadership, this episode will help you shift how you show up - so you gain influence instead of shrinking or pushing back. This is how you step up without burning bridges. Loved this episode?

    Ep. 189 - Stuck in the Middle: How Strong Leaders Build Trust, Clarity, and Culture Without Burning Out

    Send a text When you’re a leader stuck in the middle - managing up, supporting down, and trying not to lose yourself in the process - it can feel exhausting, confusing, and quietly overwhelming. This episode breaks down the real keys to leading well in that in-between space, without burning out, people-pleasing, or disengaging. Key takeaway #1: Know what’s within your control - and what isn’t. You’ll learn why holding onto frustration about things you can’t change drains your energy and your team’s morale. Strong leaders escalate what matters, advocate clearly, and then let go, instead of carrying resentment that slowly turns toxic. Key takeaway #2: Write things down to create clarity and accountability. Respect, trust, and expectations can’t stay vague. When you define them clearly, you give yourself (and others) permission to hold the line, make decisions, and build a healthy team culture. Key takeaway #3: Lead from service, not self-sacrifice. True leadership isn’t about absorbing everything - it’s about supporting others with intention, boundaries, and integrity. If you’re navigating the middle and want to lead with confidence, clarity, and credibility, this episode is your guide. Loved this episode?

    Ep. 188 - Bad B*tch Energy: Decisiveness, Standards, and Women Who Rise Together

    Send a text This episode is a deep dive into bad b*tch energy - what it is, what it isn’t, and why it changes everything. You’ll hear why real empowerment doesn’t come from aggression or comparison, but from security, abundance, and self-trust. Rhiannon unpacks the kind of female friendships that expand you: women who are genuinely happy for your success, hold you to your standards, tell you the truth, and don’t compete or keep score. You’ll explore how bad b*tch energy shows up as decisiveness, focus, and momentum: making the call, taking the action, and dealing with the fallout instead of playing it safe and shrinking. This is about choosing movement over perfection, standards over approval, and ownership over overthinking. Stop hesitating, people-pleasing, or dimming yourself to keep the peace. This episode is a reminder that you’re allowed to take up space - and win - alongside other powerful women. This episode is dedicated to Matilda Wand. The baddest bitch I know and who I'm so thankful to have in my life. Happy Birthday! Loved this episode?

    Ep. 187 - A Guide for Recovering Perfectionists: How to Let Go Without Lowering Your Standards

    Send a text If you identify as a recovering perfectionist... or suspect you might be one, this episode is for you. You’ll recognise the pressure to get everything right, the over-editing, the time guilt, the anxiety before and after you speak, and the quiet belief that if you just try harder, you’ll finally feel calm. This episode is a practical, compassionate guide to understanding how perfectionism really operates in your life - not as a flaw, but as a learned safety strategy rooted in high expectations, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment. You’ll see how it shows up through overthinking, harsh self-talk, unrealistic time standards, and the constant feeling of being “behind.” More importantly, you’ll learn how to recover without losing your integrity. You’ll be guided through tools to shift from perfection to progress: prioritising output over over-polishing, time-blocking with boundaries, journaling to reality-check your standards, and building trust in yourself and others. This episode helps you trade pressure for calm, and finally breathe again. Loved this episode?

    Ep. 186 - Lead With Love: Breaking Cycles Without Losing Yourself

    Send a text You’re smart, capable, and self-aware - but when it comes to family dynamics, emotional labour, or old patterns that still sting, you might feel torn between compassion and resentment? In this episode, you’re invited into a deeply human conversation about what it really means to lead with love - without bypassing your anger, minimising your pain, or excusing behaviour that hurts you. You’ll hear why holding space doesn’t mean carrying other people’s emotions for them, and how empathy can sometimes make things heavier instead of lighter.  You’ll learn the difference between feeling for someone and allowing them to feel for themselves. Most importantly, you’ll explore how to break generational cycles without hardening your heart or losing your voice. Key takeaways: Why compassion without boundaries drains youHow to process anger before choosing forgivenessHow leading with love starts with self-respect, not self-sacrificeIf you’ve ever thought, “I want to be better, but I don’t want to pretend it didn’t hurt,” this episode is for you.
