    Ep 13: Georgina Bisby | What happens when you stop fighting your brain?

    What happens when your brain is constantly searching for the next challenge? In this episode, Georgina Bisby shares her journey as an editor, author, presenter, entrepreneur and mum of three, and how a lifelong need to stay busy, stimulated and creating has shaped the way she works and lives. From discovering ADHD and understanding why traditional structures never quite fit, to building a YouTube channel with millions of views during recovery from illness, Georgina talks about turning “what can I do?” into a mindset rather than standing still. She opens up about learning to work with her strengths instead of against them, finding purpose through action, and how that same instinct to learn, adapt and keep moving has influenced everything from her career to parenting and advocacy.

    Ep 12: Jay-T | Turning Pain into Power!

    This week on Finally Fabulous… we’re joined by the wicked Jay-T ✨ An East London babe with Barbados roots - glamorous, grounded, full of gumption, with an effervescent personality and a fiercely headstrong mind. Always asking herself: what’s next? Head of Culture Transformation, advocate for change, and proud single mother to her daughter, Jay-T’s story is one of true resilience. From leaving home at 16 when life no longer fit, to stepping away from a glamorous world that ultimately brought loneliness, she chose to trust her gut and build a life on her own terms. This conversation is about courage, reinvention, and turning pain into power, something Jay-T embodies effortlessly. She reminds us that no matter how stuck life may feel, there is always another way forward and always another chapter waiting to be written. This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, questioning what’s next, or needing the reminder that change is always possible. Sometimes the hardest part is simply deciding you deserve something different. ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨ Episodes also streamed on ⁠⁠⁠YouTube & ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠ Stay connected! 🔗 Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠@finallyfabulouspodcast ⁠⁠⁠ Interested in being a guest?

    Ep 11: Natasha Kizzie | Be the agent of change!

    What happens when a life that looks successful on paper stops feeling sustainable? In this episode, I sit down with Natasha Kizzie, a senior leader at Google and NCS royalty, to explore what it really takes to reinvent your life. Her career is extraordinary - but beneath it lies a story of burnout, self-awareness and the courage to walk away from what no longer fits. We cover the experiences that shaped her, from therapy in her twenties to imposter syndrome and leadership realities, along with the daily practices that helped her rebuild confidence. This conversation is honest, thought-provoking and deeply empowering - I hope it stays with you long after you’ve listened.  ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨ Episodes also streamed on ⁠⁠⁠Spotify & ⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠ Stay connected! 🔗 Instagram⁠ ⁠⁠@finallyfabulouspodcast ⁠⁠⁠Interested in being a guest?

    Ep 10: Rachelle Williams | Listening to your inner compass & designing a life that fits.

    It’s our tenth episode, woohoooooo! How did we get here?! And for this one, I’m joined by the wonderful and bold Rachelle Williams. Rachelle took the leap from a full time corporate life to the freedom of being self employed in 2021 and is now smashing it as an Agile coach, consultant and workshop leader. She also has ADHD and told us about the journey she’s been on to understand how her brain works and unlock and celebrate her true authentic self.  We discuss the intentional choices she made to create a life that reflected what she wanted, not what society wanted of her, as well as her amazing travels in seeing the world. She also shares her tips on listening to your own compass and how the power of impulsion can overcome that ‘I should’ feeling. This is a conversation about self-reflection, the beauty of neurodiversity and being on a mission to create your ideal life. ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨Episodes also streamed on ⁠⁠YouTube & ⁠Apple Podcasts⁠ Stay connected! 🔗 Instagram⁠ ⁠@finallyfabulouspodcast ⁠⁠ Interested in being a guest?

    Ep 9: Sharon Wallace | Stepping into ambiguity, overcoming imposter syndrome and leading with integrity

    I’m so excited to share the latest instalment of Finally Fabulous with you. Today’s guest is best described as a Celtic warrior queen - grounded in grit, curiosity and an unwavering commitment to lifting others. I’m joined by Sharon Wallace: mum of four, TEDx speaker and co-founder of LIFT as we Climb.Her career spans the male-dominated tech world of the 90s, building a million-pound direct sales team, and returning to university at 46 to earn her master’s - all while navigating profound personal challenges, including standing beside her son through cancer treatment with extraordinary resilience. We talk intentional leadership, moving beyond diversity to true inclusion, why “imposter syndrome” might actually be growth in disguise, and the power of knowing your core values. This is a conversation about courage, compassion and trusting yourself enough to step into the unknown. New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am.

    Ep 8: Bella Vuillermoz | Trading 'FOMO' for 'JOMO'!

    Welcome to Finally Fabulous, the podcast where we peel back the layers and rediscover who we really are. I’m your host, Kate, and in this episode, I’m joined by someone incredibly special - my sister, Bella. After a successful career in senior City leadership, Bella made a bold "F**k It" moment decision to move her family to the High Weald, creating a slower, more purposeful life where her neurodivergent daughter, Eva, could truly thrive. We talk about courage, advocacy and the power of “delayering” - letting go of the roles we think we should play and giving ourselves permission to simply be. From mentoring and psychological safety to chasing sheep in pyjamas - and swapping FOMO for JOMO - this is a warm, honest and uplifting conversation about designing a life that really fits. Enjoy.
