Being "authentic" has become a real buzz word, but what does living and working authentically look like for you?
While we hear a lot about being authentic I'm curious as to how can we move from talking to taking action and show up as our true selves, breaking free from external expectations.
Joining me in this conversation is Esme Filsinger, business and self-belief coach who is helping her clients get connected to their purpose and understand their true desires overcoming expectations of what we "should" be doing in life or work.
In this episode, Esme raises many intriguing questions to help us dive into our values, our desired impact and how to uncover what we really want outside of what might be expected of us.

The gender investing gap is real. Women typically retire with less money than their male counterparts.
When you factor in that women are more likely to take time off work to care for their family and have a more cautious attitude to investing money, as well as the gender pay gap, it's easy to see how this chasm is created.
My guest today is Emilie Bellet, founder of Vestpod, the online platform with a mission to financially empower women by teaching them how to take control of their finances and how to make their money work for them through investing.
When it comes to investing, I've personally found the subject confusing and didn't know where to start. In this episode, Emilie shares so many great resources for how we can start seeking to grow your money, how we can open up the conversation around personal finances, and how we can build a positive money mindset.

Fiona Grayson is the founder of She Can. She Did - host of the brilliant female networking events, the Midweek Mingle, and accompanying podcast telling the honest journeys of female business owners and most recently, has created the UK’s first benefits program for self-employed females. 


Fi’s passion for unearthing and sharing the challenges that female business owners face has built an inspiring community where the hard work and sacrifice that goes into running your own business is recognized and appreciated.
But with business owners sharing their success online it’s harder than ever to not compare yourself or form an idea of success that doesn’t actually align with your values. 

In this episode Fi shares with me her business journey, we break down the illusion of “overnight success” and what we can all learn from following our gut.

Jolinda Johnson is a wellness mentor and priestess, helping women break free from burn out and to start living as the badasses they were born to be.
In this episode, Jolinda shares with me her personal experience of breaking out of the expected societal roles and how she has reconnected with "the wild woman" archetype.
This is such an inspirational conversation, and I absolutely love how Jolinda's speaks about how always striving to be a "good girl" can really impact our health, leading to stress and burn out as well as how hormones can play a central role in our health and wellbeing.

The traditional approach to work, with set days, hours, and workplaces has been around for hundreds of years with little deviation or consideration despite how much the world has changed.
Our working hours have got longer and the separation between work and our personal life has got closer, with our jobs often contributing to our sense of self-worth and status, so what's all this doing to our mental health, and is there another way?
Joining me today is Jo Hooper, founder of Mad & Sad Club who's mission is to disrupt the world of work and, through coaching and group programs, is helping people manage their mental health and make work work for them.
Sharing her first-hand experience and fantastic thoughts on careers, the workplace and mental health, this conversation with Jo is an eye-opening look at how we trade our time for money, what an alternative way of working can look like, and how you can manage your mental health at work.
