    Ep #123 - I Climbed a Mountain. Was It Worth It? Absolutely Not!

    I Climbed a Mountain. Was It Worth It? Absolutely Not! 😂What started as a lovely little walk to a mountain lake turned into hours of climbing, aching joints, a fair bit of swearing and me seriously questioning my life choices! But somewhere between scrambling up boulders, reaching the summit and desperately wanting to get back down, I learnt five valuable lessons about life, setting goals and achieving the things we really want. In this week's episode, I'm sharing my mountain-climbing adventure and what it taught me about taking small steps, managing your mind when things get bloody hard and questioning whether the goal you're working so hard towards is actually what you want. Because here's the thing: just because you CAN achieve something doesn't necessarily mean you WANT to. And if you're someone who's constantly pushing herself, rushing from one thing to the next and putting pressure on yourself to get everything done, I think you'll find these lessons particularly useful. Grab a cuppa, get comfortable and come climbing with me. I promise you won't have to walk nearly as far as I did! 😂 You can also watch this episode on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheWorkingWomensLifeCoach If you'd like to have a chat about how I can help you further, please send an email to Hello@nickybevan.com, I'd love set up a time to meet you virtually.

    Ep #122 - You’re Allowed to Do Less — interview with Christi Gmyr

    This week I’m joined by fellow coach and licensed mental health counsellor Christi Gmyr for a brilliant conversation about burnout, motherhood and the ridiculous pressure so many working mums put on themselves to do everything — and do it all well. We talk about where those expectations come from, why the word “should” can create so much unnecessary pressure, and what happens when you start asking yourself a very simple question: What if I didn’t? What if the house wasn’t spotless? What if dinner wasn’t perfect? What if you asked for help? What if you stopped trying to squeeze absolutely everything in? What if you allowed yourself to do a little bit less? We also explore why taking time for yourself isn’t selfish, why an hour spent on yourself can actually be an hour invested, and how letting go of some of the pressure can help you show up as a calmer, more present version of yourself — at home and at work. If you constantly feel like you should be doing more, managing things better or somehow keeping everybody happy, this episode is your permission slip to put some of it down. Because you really don’t have to do it all.

    Ep #121 - The Summer I Stopped ‘Shoulding’ Myself

    After a gorgeous summer break, I’m back — and this episode is a bit of a catch-up on what the last few weeks have taught me. From having a completely phone-free week, to navigating the change that comes with teenage boys becoming more independent, to unexpectedly climbing a mountain I absolutely did not enjoy, there have been plenty of opportunities to watch my brain in action. I’m also sharing why I spent part of the summer working behind a bar and pot washing at weddings, what that brought up for me, and some of the thoughts I’ve been having about my business and what I want next. This episode is really about change, choice and giving yourself enough space to notice what you actually want — rather than automatically following all the things you think you should be doing. If you’ve been rushing, pushing, overthinking or feeling like something needs to shift, this one might give you a few things to think about.

    Ep #120 - Letting Go of the “Shoulds” and Trusting What’s Next

    In this episode, I’m sharing honestly about the season I’m in right now — taking a break, stepping back from the pressure to have it all figured out, and listening to the part of me that knows something needs to change. For a while, I’ve felt like I’ve been pushing a boulder uphill. I kept telling myself what I “should” be doing, even when it no longer felt right. So this summer, I’m choosing to pause, go into my cocoon, and trust that clarity will come when I give it space. We’re talking about the fear of stepping into the unknown, letting go of old expectations, trusting your energy, and giving yourself permission to evolve before you know exactly what the next version of your life or business will look like. Because sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop forcing, switch off, and trust what’s trying to emerge. If you're local to the Radstock, Bath area & would like to join me live on the 16th Sept 2026, you can find all the details here - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1992650760064?aff=oddtdtcreator.

    Ep #119 - Intrusive Thoughts and Big Feelings with Emmie Fulton

    I absolutely LOVED this conversation. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, psychologist, solo mum of three and creator of Hero Cards, Emmie Fulton, for a gorgeous conversation about intrusive thoughts, big feelings and the emotional tools our children need long before adulthood.  And yes, we go there. We shared our intrusive thoughts (you have them too and they're normal btw). We felt uncomfortable. It was freeing. If you listen, it will be freeing for you too.  Emmie shares how her work in the NHS, mental health, behavioural science and motherhood inspired her to create Hero Cards — a set of cards designed to help children understand what’s going on in their minds, recognise their feelings, and build emotional resilience in a simple, practical and accessible way. We talk about why thoughts are not facts, why big feelings don’t mean something has gone wrong, and how we can support our children without needing to fix everything for them. We also explore perfectionism, people-pleasing, avoidance, anxiety, and the importance of helping children feel safe with the full human experience. And as always, this conversation isn’t just for the kids. There is so much in here for us as grown-ups too. If you’ve ever wanted your child to understand themselves better, feel less alone in their worries, or have tools to manage those big emotional moments, this episode is a beautiful place to start.

    Ep #118 - Stop Apologising for What You Know

    Have you ever found yourself shrinking back, downplaying what you know, or apologising for your experience before you’ve even said the sentence? In this episode, I’m talking about how to start stepping into your authority — especially when you’re in a space where people might underestimate you, dismiss you, or see you as less experienced than you actually are. Because here’s the truth: you do not need to apologise for your wisdom. You do not need to make yourself smaller so other people feel more comfortable. And you do not need to wait for someone else to validate you before you start holding yourself differently. I’m sharing five practical steps to help you begin shifting the way you see yourself, speak about yourself, and show up in your work and life — even when it feels uncomfortable. This episode is for you if you know, deep down, that you’re capable, experienced and powerful… but you’re ready to actually start believing it. You’ll learn: Why other people’s first impression of you is not yours to controlHow your own identity shapes the way you hold yourselfWhy discomfort is part of confidence-buildingThe importance of celebrating small winsHow to begin stepping into the woman you already know you areStop apologising for what you know. It’s time to own it.

    Ep #117 - Coming Off Mute with Dr Rita Renee

    In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Dr Rita Renee, speaker, author and voice strategist, whose work centres around helping women “come off mute” when trauma, fear or self-doubt has taught them to stay silent. Together, we explore how silence can become a survival strategy, especially for women who have learnt to people-please, avoid conflict, keep the peace or make everyone else comfortable while abandoning themselves in the process. Dr Rita shares her own experience of childhood trauma and the journey that led her to help other women reclaim their voice, lead with clarity and take up space without losing who they are. This episode is a compassionate, honest and empowering conversation about trauma, identity, leadership, emotional safety and what it really means to be seen, heard and fully yourself. A beautiful listen for any woman who knows she has more to say, but somewhere along the way learnt it was safer to stay quiet.

    Ep #117 - Hot, Sweaty, and Still in Control

    When it’s 31 degrees in your kitchen and your thighs are sticking together, it can feel very easy to lose your shit. But here’s the thing: you can’t control the weather. You can’t control the temperature, the sweat, the stickiness, or the fact that the UK is absolutely not built for this kind of heat. What you can control is the extra drama your brain wants to throw on top. In this episode, I’m talking about how to separate the facts from the emotional heat we add on top, why fighting reality makes everything feel worse, and how accepting what is can help you feel calmer, clearer and more in control — even when life feels too bloody hot. Because being uncomfortable doesn’t have to mean spiralling or drama. And being hot doesn’t have to mean losing your mind.
