Unstuck is a platform for women who are ready to stop standing in their own way and start creating a life that feels more aligned, intentional, and fulfilling.

    When Your Life Doesn’t Go to Plan

    What happens when the life you imagined for yourself looks nothing like the life you’re actually living? At 30, I genuinely didn’t think my life would look anything like it does today. Mental illness changed the direction of my life. I met my husband in my late thirties. Infertility then changed the timeline I thought I’d follow. I became a first-time mum at 43. My career changed direction. And now, in my late forties, I’m building something I never could have imagined all those years ago. For a long time, I thought all of this meant I was behind. That I’d missed my chance. That everyone else was somehow moving forward while I was trying to find my way back. In this episode of Unstuck, I’m sharing more of my own story and what I’ve learned about the timelines we create for ourselves, the comparison that happens when life doesn’t follow them, and what rebuilding actually looks like. If you’re looking at your life and wondering how you ended up here, this episode is for you. If this episode resonated with you, please follow Unstuck, leave a review and share it with someone who is always the strong one for everyone else. Together, we can help more people realise that they’re not stuck because of who they are, they’re stuck in patterns. And, patterns can be changed. Remember… Small actions. Big change. Reset. Realign.

    When You’re Always the Strong One

    Why Being the One Everyone Relies On Can Leave You Feeling Completely Alone Have you become the person everyone turns to? The one who always copes. The one who fixes the problems. The dependable friend, supportive colleague, reliable partner, or capable mum who somehow keeps everything moving. On the outside, you look strong. But inside, you’re exhausted. In this episode of Unstuck, I explore the hidden pressure of always being “the strong one” and why constantly carrying everyone else can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed and disconnected from your own needs. ⸻ If this episode resonated with you, please follow Unstuck, leave a review and share it with someone who is always the strong one for everyone else.

    Why You Feel Guilty When You Put Yourself First

    When was the last time you put yourself first without feeling guilty? If your answer is “I can’t remember,” you’re not alone. In this episode of Unstuck, we’re exploring the guilt so many women experience when they choose themselves. Whether it’s taking time to rest, saying no to another commitment, setting healthy boundaries, or simply admitting you need a break, guilt often creeps in, even when you’ve done nothing wrong. We’ll unpack where this guilt comes from, why it’s so common, and how it can quietly keep us stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, overcommitting, and putting everyone else’s needs ahead of our own. You’ll discover why guilt isn’t always a sign that you’ve made the wrong decision. Sometimes it’s simply a sign that you’re doing something different, and that can be the first step towards living more intentionally. Remember… Small actions. Big change. Reset. Realign. Rise.

    The Mental Load Nobody Sees (And Why You’re So Exhausted)

    Do you ever reach the end of the day feeling completely exhausted, yet wonder what you’ve actually done? The answer might be the mental load. In this episode of Unstuck, we’re exploring the invisible work that so many of us carry every day, the constant planning, remembering, organising and anticipating that never seems to switch off. It’s the endless mental checklist that leaves us feeling drained, even when we’ve been “just getting on with life.” The problem isn’t that you’re incapable. It isn’t that you’re disorganised. Often, it’s simply that you’ve been carrying too much for too long. Join me as we unpack why the mental load feels so heavy, the hidden impact it has on our wellbeing, and how small, intentional shifts can help lighten the weight. If you’ve ever felt like your brain has a hundred tabs open at once, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to carry everything on your own. Remember… Small actions. Big change. Reset.

    How to Stop Starting Over (The Identity Shift That Changes Everything)

    In this episode of Unstuck, we explore one of the most overlooked reasons people stay stuck: identity. Because real, lasting change doesn’t happen when you simply change your goals or your habits. It happens when you begin to see yourself differently. You’ll discover why consistency isn’t about being perfect, why setbacks don’t define you, and how a simple shift in identity can help you stop starting over and begin building lasting momentum. Remember, progress isn’t about never slipping up. It’s about resetting quickly and continuing to move forward. Because small actions really do create big change. Reset. Realign. Rise.
