Too busy doing life to enjoy it? Rediscovering wonder with Brooke Hill

When did life become all about getting things done? Between the responsibilities, deadlines, school runs, work commitments and endless to-do lists, it's easy to lose touch with the curious, playful and imaginative parts of ourselves. But what if we didn't need to do more to feel more alive? What if we simply needed to rediscover our sense of wonder? In this episode of Out of Her Mind, I'm joined by Brooke Hill, founder of Wonderthink, storyteller and author of Spark Wonder at Work. Brooke shares how her fascination with imagination and curiosity led her to explore why we lose our sense of wonder as adults, and how we can bring it back into our everyday lives. We explore: Why we lose our curiosity and imagination as we grow up.How wonder, awe and curiosity can help shift our perspective and bring lightness into life.Why motherhood and constant responsibility can make it harder to access joy and play.How to find wonder without adding another task to your to-do list.How our senses, nostalgia and nature can reconnect us with the present moment.Why giving ourselves permission to daydream might be more important than we realise.Brooke also shares practical ways to bring more wonder into your workplace, relationships and everyday routines. This is a beautiful reminder that life doesn't have to be one long list of things to accomplish. Sometimes, we just need to pause, look around and notice what's already there.

The Mental Load of Women: From Constantly Coping to Choosing Differently

Are you carrying the mental load of everyone around you while your own needs keep slipping to the bottom of the list? You're managing the household, remembering everyone's needs, showing up at work, raising your children and trying to keep all the balls in the air. You're capable, you're coping, and from the outside, it might look like you've got it all together. But how are you actually feeling on the inside? In this episode of Out of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock explores why so many women find themselves carrying so much, how familiar patterns can keep us putting everyone else first, and why knowing we need to change isn't always enough to make it happen. You'll discover how to begin recognising the patterns that keep you stuck, practice different responses, build self-trust and start questioning the expectations you've accepted as normal. Kobi also shares her SLOW approach — Stop, Listen, Open and Observe, Wonder — to help you create space to pause, explore your options and make more intentional choices in everyday life. Because this isn't about becoming better at managing everything. It's about questioning what you're carrying, recognising where you have choices and creating a life that feels good to live, not just one you're capable of managing. Your capacity to carry everything is not a measure of your worth. Your life is happening now, make sure you're part of it. ❤️ If this episode resonates with you, share it with another woman who needs to hear this message.

From Olympic Dreams to Mum Life: Redefining Success with Liliana Guiscardo

You've achieved so much. You're capable, driven and the woman everyone relies on. So why do you still doubt yourself? Why does it sometimes feel like you're doing everything right, yet never quite feel on top of life? In this episode of Out of Her Mind with Kobi Pollock, I'm joined by Lilliana Guiscardo, an Olympic swimmer, South American record holder, senior corporate leader, entrepreneur, mother and performance coach. Liliana has experienced what it takes to perform at the highest level. From competing at the Beijing Olympics to navigating corporate leadership, motherhood and running a 1,000-acre farm, her journey offers a powerful perspective on ambition, identity and what it really means to succeed. But behind the achievements are the experiences so many high-performing women will recognise: self-doubt, imposter syndrome, pressure to do more, and the challenge of balancing big ambitions with the realities of life. Together, we explore how to back yourself when doubt creeps in, why self-compassion matters just as much as discipline, and how to build the confidence to step into the next version of yourself. In this conversation, we explore: The mindset and belief that helped Liliana achieve her Olympic dream.How self-doubt and imposter syndrome can affect even highly successful women.Why the way you speak to yourself matters and a simple mirror practice to build self-belief.Knowing when to push yourself and when to give yourself permission to rest.How visualisation can help you prepare for high-pressure situations and perform at your best.The identity shift that comes with motherhood, career changes and new seasons of life.Growth mindset and why you are never too old to become a beginner again.Liliana's approach to helping women improve their performance through mindset, physical wellbeing and identity.This episode is for the woman who is doing all the things, carrying the responsibility, chasing the goals and showing up for everyone else but doesn't always feel as confident, capable or in control as she'd like. Because success isn't just about what you achieve. It's also about how you experience your life along the way.

Are You Living Your Life or Just Managing It? 5 Signs You’ve Lost Yourself in Motherhood

Are you actually living your life… or are you just managing it? As mums, we can become incredibly good at managing everything — the school runs, work, meals, appointments, the house, the kids, everyone else's needs… until one day we realise we haven't stopped to ask ourselves what we actually need. In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock explores the difference between managing your life and actually living it, and shares 5 signs you may have become disconnected from yourself. We talk about: • Why being productive doesn't always mean you're fulfilled • Feeling guilty when you do something just for yourself • Constantly thinking about what's next • Forgetting when you last did something simply because you wanted to • Feeling flat or disconnected even when nothing seems “wrong” • Why you don't necessarily need to blow up your life to find yourself again • How asking “What do I want?” can start rebuilding self-trust • The small choices that can help you feel more present in your own life Kobi also shares her own experience of losing herself in motherhood, nursing, work and caring for everyone else and what happened when she finally had to stop and come back to herself. If you're a mum feeling overwhelmed, tired, reactive or like you're constantly holding everything together, Kobi introduces The Calm Mum Formula and invites you to join her FREE masterclass on Tuesday 13th October at 7pm. You don't have to wait until you're completely burnt out. You get to start now. Maybe it's time to stop just managing your life… and start actually living it. Questions to ponder... What is taking up space in my life that doesn't need to be there? What am I making harder than it needs to be? If I stopped asking what I SHOULD do and started asking what I WANT… what would change?

AI, Kids & Cyber Safety: Raising the Next Generation of First Movers | Yasmin London

What does it mean to raise children who can navigate an AI-driven world without losing their critical thinking, courage, connection and humanity? Perhaps even more importantly — how do we become first movers ourselves? In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, I'm joined by Yasmin London, author of First Movers, speaker, entrepreneur, former NSW Police Officer and founder of ySafe. Yasmin's career was profoundly shaped by an experience as a police officer when she was called to negotiate with a 14-year-old girl experiencing a suicidal crisis after severe cyberbullying. That moment changed the direction of her life and led her into the world of cyber safety, technology and ultimately courageous leadership. We talk about: AI and children — what parents need to know Cyberbullying and the real-world impact of online experiences How parents can have better conversations with their kids about technology Why banning technology isn't necessarily the answer Why we need to protect critical thinking and avoid outsourcing our thinking to AI Why women need to be part of the conversation about the future of technology What it means to stay human in an increasingly AI-driven world What Yasmin means by creating “First Movers”Her new and first book, First Movers, is ultimately about much more than AI. It's about courageous self-leadership. It's about recognising those moments when you know something needs to change, questioning the status quo, and having the courage to take that first step even when you don't feel completely ready. Because what if we stopped waiting for someone else to go first? What if we became the first movers? This is such an important conversation for parents, women and anyone trying to navigate a rapidly changing world while staying connected to who they are.

Your life doesn't have to be this complicated. In this episode of Out Of Her Mind, Kobi Pollock shares five simple ways to simplify your life, not by becoming a minimalist or doing less for the sake of doing less, but by removing the unnecessary friction that takes up your time, energy and attention. Kobi explores how to: Give everything a home so you're not constantly searching for things Reduce unnecessary decisions and decision fatigue Stop carrying your entire life around in your head Question what you actually need — including commitments you've said yes to Create more space and breathing room in your day This episode is about more than decluttering your house. It's about looking at your calendar, commitments, relationships, thoughts and expectations of yourself and asking: Does this actually need to be here? Because simplifying your life isn't about having less. It's about creating room for more presence, more connection, more family time, more laughter, more creativity and more of you.
