As women, we’re often looking for the next thing to add. The next strategy, habit, or tool that’s finally going to make everything click into place. It comes from a good place, we care deeply about what we do. Someone came to me not knowing what she needed to add to her life to thrive. What became clear as we talked? She didn’t need to add a single thing. It’s what she’d been removing that now allows her to thrive. You deserve to be looked after, with the same care and attention you pour into everything else. I know this because I’ve lived it. The past few weeks have been busy, and somewhere in the middle of it all, I had to make a choice. I chose rest. I chose myself. We talk about the “flow” that allowed me to write from a place of depth and sustainable growth, rather than forcing myself into a box that didn’t fit. I also reflect on the delicate balance of sharing my own lived experience to offer you hope and validation, while always prioritising the sense of safeness and privacy that allows us all to heal.

Have you ever felt a quiet nudge telling you that there is a gentler way forward? In this episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague Emily Wilkinson to share the heart-centred story of how my debut book finally found its way into the world. We talk about the “flow” that allowed me to write from a place of depth and sustainable growth, rather than forcing myself into a box that didn’t fit. I also reflect on the delicate balance of sharing my own lived experience to offer you hope and validation, while always prioritising the sense of safeness and privacy that allows us all to heal.

In this bite-sized solo episode, I’m bringing you real answers from real people. Fresh off the first stop of my book tour on the Sunshine Coast, I’m sharing the responses from a heartfelt group activity I ran at my live event, where attendees reflected on one simple but powerful question

What if the brain fog, mood shifts, weight changes, and sense of losing yourself weren’t signs that something was wrong with you, but signs that your body was going through one of the most significant transitions of your life? In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Gray, pharmacist, nutritionist, certified menopause practitioner, and author of It’s Not You, It’s Perimenopause. With over 25 years in health and wellness, Sarah has built a reputation as one of Australia’s most trusted voices in science-based perimenopause care and this conversation is packed with the kind of honest, practical insight that so many of you have been desperately searching for.

One of the best things about being your own boss? You can work in your pyjamas and that’s exactly what I’m doing in this episode! But it’s about so much more than just comfort, it’s about recognising that you get to make the rules now. You can choose your hours, work under a blanket if that soothes your nervous system, and build routines that actually suit you. This episode is a gentle reminder that when you run your own business, you don’t have to follow someone else’s version of how things “should” be done. Let’s talk about creating a sustainable way of working that honours who you are and what you need.

Over the years working with many many women, I’ve heard so many of them half-jokingly say I am going to quit and become a florist. But for my latest guest, that wasn’t a joke, it was a necessary pivot to save her well-being. We dive into the concept of “Active Mindfulness” for those who struggle to sit still, and the vital strategy of “locking In” your joy. This is a conversation about making choices today that allow you to thrive for years to come.

I am absolutely thrilled to share that today is officially publication day for From Self-Neglect to Self-Compassion! To celebrate, I wanted to do something a little different for the podcast this week. Instead of a standard business tip or strategy, I sat down to read you one of the excerpts from the book.

Is your current routine supporting the future you, or accidentally sabotaging you? In this solo episode, we dive into the relationship with our Future Self. This isn’t about adding pressure or striving for perfection; it’s about building a relationship with yourself based on compassion. Tune in for a gentle reality check on how to stop just surviving and start thriving, for your sake, and theirs . (Also inside: exciting news about my book launch next week!)

In this episode, I’m joined by voice coach Sally Prosser to dismantle the myth that you need to be perfectly polished to be heard, revealing why your “stumbles” might actually be the key to deeper connection. We dive into the psychology of safety, the vital difference between time management and “energy mastery,” and the wild story of how she manifested a meeting with Oprah; if you’re ready for “business audibility” and to find the courage to speak your truth, this conversation is the one you’ve been waiting for.

Welcome to Season 10 of Welcome to Self®, it is such a pleasure to have you here for this new chapter. In this opening episode, I am inviting you to take a long exhale and think about the relationship you have with your future self. Everything we do in the here and now is either a benefit to our future self or a cost they will have to pay later on. Join me as we explore how to move forward intentionally, remembering that we are always human first and perfection is never the goal.
