    Edyta Lesiewicz: Divorce, Feminine Energy and Reclaiming Your Power

    What if the thing holding back the people you love is quietly coming from you? I'm joined by Edyta Lesiewicz, Divorce and Relationship Coach, Weaponised Children Specialist and Founder of Queen Awaken Academy. Edyta helps women over 40 move through divorce and relationship crisis with feminine energy, inner healing, and strategic legal and financial guidance. She came to this work through her own marriage crisis. Before that, she spent much of her life as an architect. Logical. Detail-driven. Brilliant with numbers. And completely exhausted. Working full-time, then coming home to run the house and the children, she started to believe something was wrong with her. What she discovered instead was that women have a rhythm of their own, and most of us were taught to ignore it. Edyta also shares a moment at the Alexandra Palace ice rink with her daughters that changed how she sees leadership, motherhood and relationships 😳 In this episode we explore: ➤ The question every woman in crisis asks, "shall I stay or shall I go?", and why transformation matters more than trying to fix ➤ Why your relationship patterns start with your mum, and the generations of expectations passed down before her ➤ The invisible cap, and how our own thoughts can limit our children, partners and teams ➤ Home and house as feminine and masculine energy, and why one can't exist without the other ➤ Money, self-worth and divorce, and why 50-50 doesn't always mean fair This episode is for you if you're over 40, questioning your relationship, and ready to stop proving yourself and start living in your own rhythm.

    Dr. Ann Marie Peters: Identity, Confidence and the Return to Work

    When did you last say "I'm just a stay-at-home mum"... or "just" anything at all? I'm joined by Dr. Ann Marie Peters, Executive Coach, Leadership Strategist, CEO of AMP Consulting and Author of We'll Be Right Back, a book for professional women returning to work after a career pause. Through her PhD research in Industrial and Organisational Psychology, Ann Marie listened to women in interviews and focus groups. What she heard went far beyond data. Identity loss. Grief. Isolation. A quiet slide in confidence that so few of us talk about. And something else too. Real joy when women were finally asked to tell the story of who they'd been and what they'd achieved 😊 Ann Marie knows this terrain personally. In 1995, expecting her first child, she negotiated a part-time, work-from-home role at HSBC, something almost unheard of at the time. Twelve years later, she stepped away completely for five years, then returned as an entrepreneur. Her message is simple and deeply moving. That experience is still in you. It hasn't gone anywhere. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why the word "just" is costing you, and how women quietly write off years of real experience ➤ The hidden skills of a career pause, from time management and mediation to running household finances and volunteering on boards ➤ The remembering process, and why looking back at who you were unlocks what comes next ➤ The feelings nobody talks about, including grief, isolation and identity loss, and the relief of realising you're not alone This episode is for you if you've stepped away from work, or simply feel that pull of "what's next?", and you're ready to see your own value clearly again.

    Dee Shepherd: Success Should Never Cost You Yourself

    What if confidence, procrastination, people-pleasing, and imposter syndrome aren't separate problems at all, but branches of the same root? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Dee Shepherd, Speaker, Author, and Self-Trust Coach, and founder of the Becoming Her Again framework. Dee's work is grounded in something most of us don't expect to hear: her own recovery from a life-threatening illness. At her lowest point, she was in a wheelchair, on over 60 medications a day, and given five years to live. She decided she hadn't danced her last dance. The first steps back were tiny. Eat a little better. Move a little more. Trust herself, just for that. What she built from there became her methodology, and the foundation of everything she now teaches. The insight at the centre of it is deceptively simple. Self-trust isn't one thing in a list of things to work on. It's the root cause underneath all of them. When it's missing, you research endlessly, ask everyone else for answers, second-guess your decisions, and quietly erode your own confidence every time you don't follow through on something you told yourself you'd do. When it's present, you make decisions faster, take action from a calmer place, and start building evidence that you are, actually, someone who does what she says she'll do. Dee's Trust Tokens methodology does exactly that. Small, stackable acts of self-trust that build evidence over emotion, and rewire the story you've been telling about yourself. In this episode, we explore: ➤ Why self-trust is the root, not the branch, and how working on it changes confidence, procrastination, people-pleasing and imposter syndrome all at once ➤ The Trust Tokens methodology, and how building evidence over emotion creates lasting change without adding another overwhelming task to your list ➤ What happens when you keep asking everyone else, and why getting ten different opinions leaves you more confused than when you started ➤ How Dee reversed her own diagnosis, and what the journey from wheelchair to fit and healthy taught her about what actually creates change This episode is for any woman who knows what she wants but keeps getting in her own way, and is ready to find out why.

    Jenn Cohen: Why Intuition Is Your First Sense, Not Your Sixth

    What if the thing guiding your best decisions isn't a skill you need to develop, but a sense you were born with and gradually taught to ignore? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Jenn Cohen, Intuitive Consultant and Channel. After 27 years in the entertainment industry, working across DreamWorks, IMAX, Warner Brothers and Turner, Jenn followed her own intuition out of corporate life and into work she describes as tuning into the highest frequency available to each client. She calls intuition our first sense, not our sixth. It's the sense we arrived with. And often the first one we're taught to override. What Jenn does in her sessions isn't coaching in the traditional sense. She tunes into a client's higher self and mirrors back what's already known but being bypassed, usually because it feels too big, too fearful, or too disruptive to act on. The moment of recognition, she says, is unmistakable. Clients hear it come out of her mouth and know immediately. Not because she's told them something new, but because she's said out loud what they've been quietly thinking and talking themselves out of. The shifts she describes aren't always dramatic on the outside. But they're profound at the core. People start trusting themselves. The heaviness lifts. And from that place, everything else, work, relationships, decisions, begins to move differently. In this episode, we explore: ➤ Why intuition is our first sense, not our sixth, and how we're systematically trained away from it from childhood ➤ What it actually looks like to work at the frequency level, and why Jenn isn't listening to the story so much as what wants to come through ➤ The U-turn back to self, and why every time we want to point outward, that redirection is where the real shift lives ➤ What the dread on a Monday morning is actually telling you, and why it's worth listening before it gets louder This episode is for anyone who's been sensing something needs to change but keeps talking themselves out of it.

    Coral Bell: Identity Alchemy and the Art of Becoming Yourself Again

    What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't the problem you think you have, but the way you're looking at it? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Coral Bell, Identity Alchemist and founder of Identity Alchemy. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience across energy work, somatic exploration, and intuitive pattern recognition, Coral works beneath the surface of the presenting problem to uncover what's really going on, and then helps people shift it. Her entry point is something many women recognise the moment they hear it. Over years of caregiving, people-pleasing, and putting everyone else first, we quietly lose ourselves. Not dramatically. Just gradually. Until someone asks what you want, and you realise you genuinely don't know. Coral's work is about getting that back, not by starting over, but by changing the lens through which you see yourself and your life. What I found most compelling about this conversation is how Coral works. There's no rigid programme, no step one, step two, step three. She brings in whatever each client needs, from EFT and somatic work to Reiki and intuitive pattern recognition, and she meets people where they are. One of her clients went from being unable to leave the house alone after COVID to driving herself, travelling abroad, getting married, and earning two promotions, all within about six to eight months. In this episode, we explore: ➤ What Identity Alchemy actually means, and why reclaiming your identity isn't about starting again or losing what you've already built ➤ Why so many women struggle to answer the question "what do you want?", and how years of putting others first quietly erodes your sense of self ➤ The role of the body in lasting change, and why somatic work creates shifts that talking alone often can't reach ➤ Why you don't need another answer, you need to see the problem differently, and what that actually looks like in practice This episode is for any woman who senses that something needs to change, even if she can't quite put her finger on what.

    Megan Weisheipl: The Selfish Hour That Changes Everything

    What if the thing standing between you and the life you actually want isn't your strategy, your systems, or your schedule, but the thoughts you've never stopped to question? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Megan Weisheipl, Mindset Coach, Speaker, and Author of The Selfish Hour. Megan helps ambitious women who feel stuck stop getting in their own way, by teaching them to understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours so they can lead themselves with courage and intention. Megan's entry point into this work is disarmingly simple: she calls it being selfish. Not in the way that word usually lands, but in the way she has redefined it. Selfish, to Megan, means caring so much about the people in your life that you're willing to fill your own cup first. For two years, she woke up an hour earlier than her family every single morning to journal, meditate, and work on her own mind. That practice became the foundation of everything she now teaches. What struck me most is how her approach gets to the root of something so many high-achieving women share: we're so good at doing the next thing, and the thing after that, that we never pause long enough to ask whether our thoughts are actually working for us. You can't change what you're not aware of, and Megan's work is built entirely around that truth. In this episode, we explore: ➤ Why awareness is the starting point for everything, and how slowing down enough to notice your own thought patterns creates the conditions for real change ➤ The concept of the Selfish Hour, and why giving yourself that intentional time isn't indulgent, it's the most generous thing you can do for the people around you ➤ What actually creates lasting transformation, including the moment one of Megan's clients said she didn't like herself at the start but genuinely loved the woman she'd become by the end This episode is for any woman who's been doing all the right things and still feels like something's off. The answer might not be more doing.

    Mary Michele Nidiffer: Stop Asking How You Look and Start Asking How You Feel

    What if the reason you can't make an outfit is that your wardrobe was built for a past version of you? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Mary Michele Nidiffer, The Visibility Stylist™, creator of the StyleFinder ID® System, and founder of The Art of Becoming Visible. Mary Michele helps women entrepreneurs, speakers, authors, and leaders stop shrinking, blending in, and waiting for permission to be seen, not by reinventing themselves, but by fully expressing who they've been all along. What I found so compelling about this conversation is that Mary Michele is not talking about clothes, not really. She's talking about the gap between who you were and who you are now, and the moment you stand in front of a wardrobe full of things you spent real money on and don't recognise yourself in any of it. Her StyleFinder ID® System was created precisely because so many women told her they had no style, when what was actually happening was that their wardrobe had stopped reflecting them. Style, she says, starts within, and without understanding what your style types actually are, you're building a wardrobe for someone else. She also shares the moment that changed everything for her personally, standing in front of a mirror after having her daughter, bracing for the familiar flood of self-criticism, and instead feeling only gratitude. That one moment became a promise to herself and to her child, and it's the foundation of everything she now teaches. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why so many women feel disconnected from their wardrobes, and how the identity gap between past and present self shows up in ways we often don't recognise ➤ The one question to stop asking and the one to replace it with, and why that shift alone begins to change the way women relate to how they show up ➤ How style became a vehicle for self-permission, and why Mary Michele's clients often discover they've been carrying unwritten rules about who they're allowed to be for decades ➤ What the StyleFinder ID® System actually reveals, and how knowing your style types gives you a language for self-expression that goes far beyond clothes ➤ Why true style is never performative, and what distinguishes dressing for yourself from dressing to manage what others think This episode is for any woman who has ever stood in front of a full wardrobe and felt invisible, or who suspects there's a version of herself she hasn't quite given herself permission to express yet.

    Lisa Mohr: The Energy Hygiene Practice That Could Change Everything

    What if 99% of what you're feeling at any given moment isn't actually yours? In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Lisa Mohr, Reiki Master Teacher, author, intuitive development instructor, and Founder of The Mohr Method of Healing. Lisa has been teaching Reiki and energy work since 1995, has taught more than 12,000 students worldwide, and is the author of seven books on Reiki, energy hygiene, and intuitive development. Her work centres on helping naturally intuitive people strengthen their abilities while learning to understand, manage, and protect their energy. Lisa's path into this work started at five years old with a quiet but certain knowing, and by eight she was already tracking down books on psychic phenomena in her school library. By 19, she had saved up to train as a Reiki master and began building what would become her own system, combining Reiki with energy protection from the very beginning. That integration, teaching people not just how to channel healing energy but how to ensure it remains distinctly theirs, is the thread that runs through everything she teaches. What really stayed with me in this conversation is how grounded and evidence-based her approach is. Lisa is not asking anyone to take this on faith. She builds demonstrations into her teaching from the very start, so students collect their own proof that the practices are working before they go any deeper. And what they discover, almost universally, is that a huge proportion of what they thought were their own emotions, moods, and physical sensations are actually absorbed from the people and environments around them. In this episode we explore: ➤ Why energy hygiene is the foundation of everything, and what changes when people learn to recognise what is their own energy versus what they've absorbed from others ➤ The Mohr Method of Healing, and how Lisa integrated energy protection into Reiki training from day one, creating something far more expansive than traditional Reiki alone ➤ What actually shifts for students who go through this work, including their health, relationships, sleep, and capacity to set boundaries without guilt ➤ How to start protecting your energy today, including where to find Lisa's cord-cutting meditation on YouTube and the simplest first step for anyone who suspects they're carrying more than their own ➤ What 31 years of teaching has led her to believe is the one thing that would change everything, if we learned it from childhood This episode is for anyone who has ever felt drained after being around certain people, who absorbs the mood of a room the moment they walk in, or who has a sense that there is more to their intuition than they've yet been shown how to use.
