    How to Be Unapologetically Yourself and Build a Magnetic Personal Brand with Jojo Kearney

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Jojo, a strategic self-expression coach who helps women turn their identity into their greatest business asset. They talk about what it really means to stop shape-shifting for approval, reclaim the parts of you that have been called ‘too much,’ and become unapologetically magnetic in life and business. Jojo shares the identity shakeup that’s happened for her over the last few months, from hiding behind outfits and external validation to becoming the woman who walks into a room and is instantly remembered for her energy, presence and self-trust. Key Takeaways: Your ‘too much’ is actually an asset The traits you’ve been told to tone down - being loud, colourful, emotional, extra - are often the exact things that make you magnetic to the right people and clients. When you build a brand around those traits instead of hiding them, you stop attracting the wrong people and start calling in the ones who are truly meant to be in your world. External validation will always keep you small When your worth is tied to how noticed, praised or approved you are, every room becomes a test and every comment can knock your confidence. Shifting focus opens up space to actually receive opportunities, growth and genuine connection. Authenticity is vulnerable, but it’s where magnetism lives Being your whole self is confronting, because it makes you a mirror for everyone else’s insecurities, projections and unfulfilled desires. Some people will be triggered, but others will feel deeply seen and permissioned to be themselves too - and those are the people your work is for. You attract as much as you repel When you accept that magnetism includes both attraction and repulsion, criticism stops meaning ‘there’s something wrong with me’ and starts signalling that your message is clear and potent. Discipline and identity shifts change your reality Treating discipline as self-respect, not punishment, creates compounding evidence that you can trust yourself, which transforms how you show up everywhere.

    Why High-Achieving Women Burn Out After Building a Six-Figure Business - Katy Schweiger’s Story

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Chloe-Anne Collins - but this time, Katy is the one in the hot seat as she shares the story behind her journey to becoming an unshakeable woman. From leaving Germany with an eight-week-old baby, to building a multi six-figure cleaning business with a team of over 45 staff, to walking away from the ‘dream life’ on paper when she realised she was deeply unhappy, this conversation goes right to the root of what it really costs to keep performing success while you’re quietly falling apart. Key Takeaways: You’re allowed to outgrow your own success Sometimes the business, career or life you worked so hard to build no longer fits who you are now. Walking away from something ‘great on paper’ can be the most honest next move you make. Kindness needs boundaries to stay healthy Over-giving, rescuing and constantly holding everything together might look like kindness, but it quickly turns into burnout when there are no limits. Real generosity includes protecting your time, energy and emotional capacity. A perfect-looking life can still feel wrong Having the house, the partner, the holidays and the money doesn’t guarantee you feel fulfilled. Feeling unhappy in a life that looks “ideal” from the outside is a signal to listen to yourself, not a reason to feel ashamed. Being unshakeable means wobbling well Unshakeable women still feel fear, doubt and overwhelm - they just don’t let those moments define them. The work is learning to notice the wobble, support yourself through it, and keep moving instead of collapsing or quitting. You need different circles for different parts of you No single group of people can hold every version of you. It’s powerful to intentionally build circles for motherhood, business, friendship and growth, so you’re not asking the wrong room to validate the deepest parts of your vision.

    The Truth About Menopause: Hormones, Symptoms and Reclaiming Your Confidence with Chrissie Hiller

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Chrissie, the creator of The Mum Boss Method, for a conversation about menopause, identity, and reclaiming your confidence in midlife. Together they explore why so many women feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected during this stage of life, and how it can actually become the moment everything shifts. This episode is a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of anything, and it can be the beginning of your boldest, most unapologetic chapter yet. Key Takeaways: The symptoms you’re experiencing might not be ‘just stress.’ Many people write off anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or low confidence as simply being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes these symptoms are signals from your body that something deeper needs attention, and listening to them sooner can change everything. Sustainable change starts with your identity, not just habits. It’s easy to believe the answer lies in the perfect diet or workout routine. Real transformation happens when you explore your beliefs, mindset, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what’s possible for you. Stress impacts your choices more than you realise. When your stress levels are high, everything becomes harder - from sleeping well to making healthy decisions. Managing stress isn’t just about feeling calmer; it directly influences the habits and behaviours that shape your health and energy. The power of the pause can change your reactions. When emotions run high, we often react quickly in ways that don’t serve us. Taking a moment to pause creates space to respond with intention instead of reacting out of stress, frustration, or overwhelm. Midlife can be a powerful reset, not a decline. Many people are told life slows down or becomes more limited with age. In reality, this stage can be the perfect opportunity to redefine what you want, communicate more honestly, and build a life that truly fits who you’ve become.

    How to Perform Under Pressure and Trust Yourself Again as an Entrepreneur with Emma Gibbs-Ng

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gibbs-Ng, performance coach and host of the Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel podcast. Emma works with athletes, performers and high-profile leaders to help them regulate pressure, trust themselves again and perform at their best when the spotlight is on. In this episode, they talk about losing yourself while chasing success, the pressure entrepreneurs quietly carry, and why learning to stabilise your nervous system might be the missing piece between talent and true performance. Key Takeaways: Trust yourself first So many entrepreneurs lose momentum when they start outsourcing their authority to other people’s opinions. Reconnecting with your own instincts may be the turning point that helps you reclaim your voice and direction. Pressure isn’t about confidence What most people call a confidence problem is actually a pressure problem. Learning how your nervous system holds and processes pressure can completely change how you perform in high-stakes moments. You can lose yourself chasing success Even when you build your own business, it’s easy to start conforming to industry rules that don’t feel right. Emma opens up about how trying to ‘do it the right way’ left her disconnected from who she really was. The moment after success matters most There’s plenty of support for preparing for big moments, but very little for what happens afterwards. Emma explains how the emotional comedown after a big win or performance can be just as important to navigate as the moment itself. Your desires are evidence If a dream keeps coming back to you, it’s not random. Emma believes those desires are signals from your future self - proof that you’re capable of achieving far more than you currently believe.

    How to Become a Confident Public Speaker and Get Paid to Speak with Emma Gaskin

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gaskin, an award-winning speaking coach, founder of The Speaking Hub and creator of the SPEAK UP Method. From rebuilding stroke patients’ speech in the National Health Service to rebuilding her own confidence after years of misdiagnosis and burnout, Emma shares the journey that led her to help women stop playing small and start getting paid to speak. Together, Katy and Emma unpack the stories we carry about being ‘too much,’ the fear of judgment, why women are still expected to speak for free, and how to turn your voice into your most magnetic business asset. Key Takeaways: Your voice is more than sound - it’s identity The way you speak is shaped by your past, your beliefs and the stories you’ve internalised over time. When you begin to question those narratives, you create space to speak with more confidence, clarity and authority. Staying quiet and playing small comes at a cost Staying quiet to keep the peace or shrinking yourself to fit into rooms will eventually catch up with you. Choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable, is often the beginning of real growth. Stop over-proving, start owning Overdelivering and overexplaining can be a sign you’re trying to prove your worth. True confidence comes when you trust your value and allow your work to stand without constant justification. Exposure isn’t payment, but strategy matters Not every opportunity needs to be paid, but every opportunity should be intentional. When you align your visibility with your long-term goals, you stop chasing exposure and start building influence. You don’t have to be the loudest to move the room Powerful speaking isn’t about perfection or personality type. When you lean into your natural style and let your individuality shine, your message lands far more deeply.

    Starting a Business After Redundancy: Balancing Family Life and Business Growth with Charmaine Mills

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Charmaine, co-owner of Hertford Studios. They talk about what it really takes to build a brick-and-mortar business from the ground up. Charmaine shares the identity shift, self-doubt and resilience that shaped her journey from being made redundant after 20 years in a role she loved, into stepping fully into business ownership. They also talk about running a company with your husband, navigating teenage motherhood alongside long workdays, and the uncomfortable reality that ‘having it all’ doesn’t quite exist in the way we’re sold. Key Takeaways: Sometimes what feels like a setback is the start of something bigger Being forced out of something secure can shake your identity and your confidence. But the moments that unsettle you are often the ones that push you to finally define who you are and what you actually want. You can be experienced and still doubt yourself Confidence doesn’t automatically come with years of experience. Real self-trust is built when you stop looking for approval and start backing your own decisions - even when it feels uncomfortable. Communication is everything in business and relationships If you’re building a business alongside a partner, assumptions will create tension quickly. Open conversations about expectations, strengths, pressure and support are what protect both the company and the relationship. ‘Having it all’ probably doesn’t look the way you imagined There is no perfect balance where everything runs smoothly all the time. Instead of chasing an ideal, focus on what matters most in this season of your life and give yourself permission to adjust as things evolve. Not everyone will understand your next move - do it anyway When you make bold decisions, some people will question them. Your job isn’t to convince everyone else; it’s to stay connected to your own vision and have the courage to follow it.

    Manifestation and Intuition in Business: Leaving Your 9-5 and Building Success on Your Terms with Maria Whitfield

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with intuitive business mentor Maria for a conversation about manifestation, intuition, and what it really takes to build a business on your own terms. From discovering The Secret during a low point in her life, to leaving a 13-year teaching career, Maria shares how mindset, emotional awareness and energetic alignment have shaped her journey into entrepreneurship. They unpack the science behind intuition, the realities of financial security when quitting a 9-5, the comparison traps of the online space, and why success has to be defined by freedom and authenticity instead of buying into the noise of the online business world. Key Takeaways: Manifestation is more than just wishing. Manifestation starts with awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, not just repeating affirmations. Maria shares how shifting her mindset helped her attract her husband and later gave her the clarity to start her business. Intuition is backed by science. Intuition isn’t just a ‘gut feeling’ - it’s your electromagnetic field interacting with the world around you. By understanding how your energy, emotions, and beliefs broadcast outward, you can make more informed, aligned decisions in business and life. Your mindset and energy shape business outcomes. The way you perceive yourself and your business impacts what you attract and achieve. Small, subconscious patterns (like talking down your business) can limit growth if left unchecked. Taking calculated risks matters. Leaving a secure job requires both courage and preparation. Help yourself out by getting ahead on financial planning, building support systems, and creating realistic expectations when transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship. Consistency and clarity is more important that comparison Pivoting too often or listening to outside opinions can stall business growth. Trusting yourself, being consistent in your messaging, and fully embracing your unique approach is key to sustainable success.

    Burnout, Overgiving and People-Pleasing in High-Achieving Women with Sam Binks

    In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to Sam Binks, a coach and part-time social worker, about her journey from burnout to building a business that allows women to expand their capacity and receive more without doing more. We dive into the realities of juggling a demanding 9-to-5 with a passion project, navigating emotional overwhelm, pivoting in business, and learning to truly hold space for yourself, all whilst building your dream life. This episode is all about slowing down, resetting and designing your own ‘five star’ life, as Sam calls it. Key Takeaways: Burnout doesn’t discriminate. Even if you’re passionate about your work, constant over-giving and emotional strain can lead to burnout. Recognising the signs early can save your health and your dreams. Your past shapes your patterns. Childhood and past experiences influence how we hold ourselves and overextend. Awareness is the first step to reclaiming your energy and capacity. Pivoting is growth, not failure. Shifting direction in your business or life doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it’s part of evolving. Each redirection reveals more of who you are and what truly aligns with your purpose. Holding more means doing less. Real expansion comes when you learn to slow down and enjoy your achievements. Success feels better when your body, mind, and environment are ready to receive it. You’re the biggest barrier to your own success: Self-doubt, people-pleasing, and waiting for the “perfect time” often hold you back. Acting beyond your daily emotions is where real growth starts.
