    S4 E19 From Fear to Freedom: Redefining What Deserves Your Energy

    In the final solo episode of this season of Notes on Vulnerability, Alex makes the case for why "I just don't care anymore" isn't a red flag - it's often the first sign of real freedom. Alex breaks down why not giving a f**k isn't about becoming selfish or numbing out, but about redirecting your energy away from fear, approval-seeking, and performative "adulthood" milestones, and toward what actually matters to you. Drawing on years of coaching experience (and her own life), she explores: Why "I don't care anymore" is usually a sign something's shifting, not a red flagThe difference between giving up and becoming freeWhy so many "adults" still run their lives on fear, not maturityThe subtle but powerful swaps that change everything (approval vs. self-approval, being liked vs. being authentic)A closing question to help you figure out what deserves your f***s — and what doesn'tThis episode wraps up a season that's covered burnout, shame, boundaries, the nervous system, identity, and more, with guests ranging from barristers to the world's strongest disabled woman. If you've been following along, this is the thread tying it all together.

Explore 7 Days Back From Burnout Videos Here (free) In this episode of Notes on Vulnerability, resilience coach Alex explores one of the most misunderstood truths about burnout: it's not just about doing too much. It's about doing too much while constantly abandoning yourself in the process.

And why, for those people, simply resting is not going to be enough. In this episode you'll learn: Why burnout is a self-abandonment problem, not a workload problemWhat your nervous system is actually doing when you burn out - and why it makes complete senseWhy rest alone often doesn't fix burnout (and what needs to change instead)How burnout shifts your identity in a dangerous way, and how to reclaim itWhy recovering without changing your patterns just sends you right back to square oneIf you've ever thought "what's wrong with me?" or "why can't I cope?" - Alex has a reframe that might just change everything.

    S4 E15 Are You Healing Or Are You Hiding?

    We've become so fluent in the language of healing - boundaries, protecting our peace, doing the work - but what if some of what we're calling healing is actually hiding? In this solo episode, Alex explores one of the most important distinctions in resilience: the difference between healing and hiding. They look, without judgement, at the places where wellness language can quietly become a cover for avoidance, fear, and staying stuck - and why it's often so hard to spot when you're in it. You'll hear about: Why healing and hiding can feel almost identical from the insideThe role of the nervous system and capacity in keeping us smallCommon ways hiding disguises itself as self-awarenessWhat healing is actually supposed to do (hint: make your life bigger)Six signs you might be on the hiding side of thingsHow to start asking better questions of yourselfThis episode is honest, warm, and full of the kind of insight that might just hold up a mirror - in the best possible way.

    S4 E14 No One's Getting Out of This Alive - So Wear the Sequins. With Stylist Rachel Gold

    Celebrity stylist Rachel Gold has spent 35 years dressing some of the most recognisable faces in entertainment - and what she's learned goes far deeper than clothes. In this episode, Rachel joins us to talk about why so many women over 40 lose their sense of style identity, and why that loss is rarely actually about fashion. We explore how body changes, menopause, people-pleasing, and decades of putting everyone else first can quietly erode the way we show up - and how something as simple as getting dressed can be the first step back to yourself. We cover: Why the most confident people in the room are often the most insecureHow your wardrobe reflects your self-esteem (not the other way around)The "chicken and egg" of body confidence and dressing wellWhy the people around you might not want you to changeThe three A's: Acceptance, Action, and AuthenticityWhy you should stop saving your best things for a special occasionWhat a monk's perspective on mortality has to do with your sequin dressThis is a warm, honest, and surprisingly profound conversation about style, self-worth, and what it really means to take up space as you get older.

    S4 E13 The Hidden Cost of Being 'The Reliable One'

    Being called "reliable" sounds like a compliment - but what if it's actually costing you everything? In this episode of Notes on Vulnerability, resilience coach Alex unpacks the hidden cost of being the strong one, the dependable one, the person who always holds it all together. While reliability can feel like a strength, over time it can quietly become a cage - leading to exhaustion, resentment, disconnection, and a creeping sense that you've lost touch with who you really are. Alex explores: Why the "reliable one" identity is often built on self-abandonmentHow this pattern tends to surface in your 30s and 40s - and whyThe link between nervous system capacity and burnoutWhy letting go of this identity can feel like loss — and why that's okayWhat real resilience actually looks likeIf you've spent years being everything to everyone else and something inside you is starting to feel deeply tired of it - this episode is for you.

    S4 E 11 The Identity Crisis Nobody Talks About In Your 30s & 40s

    Why do so many people feel lost in their 30s and 40s, even when life looks successful on paper? If you've ever found yourself wondering, "Is this it?" or feeling strangely disconnected from the life you've worked so hard to build, this episode is for you. In this solo episode, resilience coach Alex explores the identity crisis that so many people experience in midlife - but that hardly anyone talks about. You'll discover why feeling lost isn't a sign that something is wrong with you, but often a sign that you've outgrown the version of yourself that was built to survive, achieve and keep everyone else happy. Alex explains why the traditional life milestones we've been taught to chase can leave us feeling empty, how "identity fatigue" develops, and why authenticity is one of the missing ingredients in resilience. In this episode you'll learn: Why your 30s and 40s can trigger an unexpected identity crisisThe hidden cost of building your life around achievement, reliability and approvalWhy feeling lost doesn't mean you're failingHow your nervous system influences your sense of identityWhy authenticity is essential for resilience, confidence and self-trustHow to stop asking "What's wrong with me?" and start asking "Who am I, underneath all the roles I've been playing?"If you're ready to stop performing the version of you that no longer fits and reconnect with who you really are, this episode will give you a completely different way of understanding what you're experiencing - and why it could be the beginning of something much bigger than you realise.
