When women from different careers and life experiences come together something special happens. The conversations spark fresh thinking, strangers become friends and almost everyone leaves seeing their own life a little differently. I see this all the time at Reset Retreats and Walk Club so wanted to create a place where those conversations could continue. A way to keep hearing from people who expand your perspective, challenge your thinking and remind you what’s possible. So I sit down with psychologists, founders, authors, health, legal and financial professionals to explore the questions so many of us are asking ourselves. From work, relationships and business to health, money, motherhood, purpose and wellbeing… the conversations are as varied as our girl group chats. Because life doesn’t fit neatly into one category. Whether you’re walking, driving or making a coffee, welcome to the conversation. Ash x Top 10% podcast on Spotify Loved by women in 80+ countries

    From Side Hustle to Hailey Bieber’s Handbag in 10 Months | Building Dr Diamond

    What does it actually take to turn a side hustle into a successful business? In this episode of Reset, I'm joined by Layla Morris, founder of Dr Diamond, the Australian brand behind the viral jewellery cleaning pen that ended up in Hailey Bieber's handbag. Just 10 months after launching, Dr Diamond has generated more than 7 million views on TikTok, expanded internationally, and built a loyal customer base around a product that is redefining jewellery care. Before becoming a founder, Layla was thriving in a corporate career she genuinely loved. But the idea of building something of her own never quite went away. In this conversation, we unpack how she knew it was time to back herself, what it really looked like to turn an idea into a product, and why building a business is often far messier than it appears from the outside. We also talk about the unconventional marketing strategies that helped grow the brand, including showing up to Fashion Week to clean influencers' rings, proactively creating opportunities instead of waiting for them, and the story behind how Dr Diamond ended up in Hailey Bieber's handbag. Whether you have a business idea sitting in your Notes app, are thinking about launching a product, or simply need a reminder that you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin, this episode is packed with practical lessons and plenty of inspiration. In this episode, we cover: ​How to know if you should start a business ​Going from a corporate career to building a brand ​Turning an idea into a physical product ​Finding suppliers and manufacturers for the first time ​Building a premium brand from day one ​Why creating opportunities beats waiting for them ​The Fashion Week strategy that helped Dr Diamond get noticed ​How the brand generated more than 7 million TikTok views ​The story behind getting Dr Diamond into Hailey Bieber's handbag ​The role family played in the early days of the business ​Expanding internationally just months after launch​The skills from corporate life that became invaluable as a founder​What surprised Layla most about entrepreneurship​The realities of building a successful business that people don't often see​Advice for anyone with a dream sitting quietly in the background Connect with Layla and Dr Diamond Website: https://drdiamond.com.au/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drdiamonnd/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drdiamonnd Website: www.drdiamond.com.au If you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend who's been talking about starting a business "one day."

    The Psychology of Fun, Play & Why We Should Try Something We’re Terrible At

    From Y2K fashion and 90s nostalgia to film cameras, scrapbooking, reading, craft nights, and analogue hobbies suddenly becoming “cool” again… it feels like everyone is craving something from the past right now… But what if this cultural shift is about more than trends? What if people are actually searching for joy, creativity, presence, community, and permission to feel alive again? In this week’s episode of Reset, psychologist Rebecca McWilliam joins me for a conversation about play, hobbies, joy, burnout, nervous system regulation, and why fun is far more important to our mental health than most adults realise. We unpack why so many adults feel emotionally flat even when life looks “good on paper,” why women often turn hobbies into productivity projects, and how modern life may be disconnecting us from the parts of ourselves that once felt most alive. In this episode, we discuss: ​ Why so many adults feel emotionally exhausted even when life looks good on paper​ The psychology of play and why hobbies support mental health​ Why women often turn hobbies into productivity or side hustles​ Why nostalgia, Y2K trends, and analogue hobbies are rising again​ What childhood hobbies can reveal about your personality and needs​ Nervous system regulation, burnout, and emotional overwhelm​ Why business owners and high achievers especially need hobbies outside of work​ How social media and optimisation culture affect joy and creativity​ Why so many people feel overstimulated but under-inspired​ Small ways to reconnect with fun, creativity, and aliveness again If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, emotionally flat, or like life has become all responsibility and no play, this episode is your reminder that joy is not something you have to earn. Because success means very little if you never feel fully alive while living it.

    Why You’ve Been Feeling “Off” Lately (It’s Not Just You)

    If you’ve been feeling a little off lately… a bit flat, overwhelmed, or not quite like yourself, this episode will help you understand why. In this conversation, Ash sits down with psychologist Lara Beaton to unpack the real impact of constant negative news, doomscrolling, and the emotional weight so many of us are carrying right now. Because it’s not just you. We’re living in a time where we’re more connected than ever, but also more exposed to distressing headlines, global uncertainty, and information overload. And while staying informed matters, it can quietly take a toll on our mental and physical health. This episode is here to help you make sense of what’s happening in your brain and body and more importantly, how to feel lighter, calmer, and more like yourself again. You’ll walk away feeling validated, grounded, and equipped with practical ways to stay informed without feeling consumed. In this episode, we cover: • Why you’ve been feeling “off” lately (and why it makes sense) • The psychological impact of constant negative news exposure • What doomscrolling is actually doing to your brain and nervous system • How anxiety, stress, and emotional fatigue can build without us realising • The guilt of feeling happy when the world feels heavy • How to hold both awareness and optimism at the same time • Simple, realistic ways to reduce your mental load without disconnecting completely • Practical tools to feel calmer, more grounded, and back in control A reminder as you listen: You’re allowed to stay informed and still feel joy. You’re allowed to care deeply about the world and still protect your energy. And you’re allowed to create a life that feels good, even when things around you feel uncertain.
