    🎙️ Aunty Treacle - Episode 5: Is Safety Still for Me?

    In this episode, Anna, Stuart, and guest Steph Camm respond to a deeply relatable listener challenge from someone feeling disillusioned with their career in safety:

    “Dear Aunty Treacle, I’m six years into my safety career and starting to wonder if it’s for me. I got into this work because I care about people and want to make a difference but all anyone seems to care about is compliance. I’m losing hope that I’ll ever find a role where I can do things differently. Is there a future for me in safety?”

    Steph brings honesty, warmth, and wisdom as she shares her own journey through different sectors including hotels, student accommodation, facilities, and engineering and reflects on the moments she questioned her own path. Together, the team explore what it really means to be at a career crossroads, and how to navigate through uncertainty with clarity, courage, and care. Spoiler: It’s not just about safety, it’s about rediscovering purpose, getting unstuck, and giving yourself permission to pivot.

    Key Topics Covered:
    • The compliance-care tension: how to hold both without losing your soul
    • Reframing audits, checklists and inspections as opportunities for curiosity
    • Spotting green flags in interviews and why language matters
    • Navigating gut instinct, red flags, and the emotional signals we ignore
    • Exploring the “career equation” aligning values, strengths, impact and environment
    • When to stay, when to go, and how to make bold but grounded moves
    • Career as a relationship: why your job should meet your needs too
    • Coaching, reflection, and finding clarity without waiting for permission
    • Courage as a core leadership skill—especially when saying “this isn’t right for me”

  • Credit Without Arrogance

    Credit Without Arrogance
    2025/05/21
    In this episode, Anna and Stuart are joined by special guest Ruth Denyer to unpack a listener’s powerful question:

    "Dear Aunty Treacle, over the last 12 months I have been working on a project to bring efficiency to the way we do safety on my site. In an ideal world, I would now see this rolled out over all our projects, but I am struggling with getting the balance right between promoting it as my idea and not wanting to come across as arrogant or like I’m craving recognition. Ultimately, I think this work could make a difference, so I want to be successful – but as a woman in a male-dominated environment, I want to make sure I don’t undersell myself. Can you give me some advice please?" Together, they get into the messy middle of visibility and humility, and why promoting your work doesn’t have to mean promoting yourself in a way that feels uncomfortable. Expect reflections on confidence, ego, gender dynamics, and how to let your work speak for you, without letting it get lost. There’s also practical advice on handling trust dynamics in organisations, building allyship, and speaking about team efforts with honesty and clarity.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Why the ick around self-promotion is real and common
    • The difference between confidence and ego
    • How to speak about your work with integrity
    • Building visibility without losing humility
    • The power of team language: using “we” over “I”
    • Socialising your ideas through others
    • How gender and environment can shape how we show up
    • Creating a “success folder” to boost self-belief
    • Why trust and intent are the foundations of influence

    This episode also features crowdsourced advice from our community, because when it comes to sticky situations like this, there’s never just one right answer.

    Special guest: Ruth Denyer – Safety and risk leader in the creative industries, with a long track record of speaking up, sharing insight, and helping others lead with purpose and perspective.
