In this episode, I’m joined by Morín Glimmer, brand strategist, creative director, cyclical living advocate - and founder of Rosy Futures, a brand consultancy for the radically hopeful.

Morín works at the intersection of business, brand and body, helping feminist founders build brands rooted in values, vision and cyclical living. After years of battling her own cycle and treating it like a weakness, discovering her “inner seasons” changed everything and completely transformed how she works, plans, creates and supports her clients.

We talk about cyclical living, capacity, burnout, creativity, and why your body is a strategic tool that most business owners ignore. Morín shares the reality of planning around her menstrual cycle, designing her business around her energy, and unlearning the belief that we have to be at the same level of productivity every day.

It’s a generous, eye-opening conversation about self-compassion, rhythms, intuition and finding a way of working that actually supports you. Whether you menstruate or not, there’s something in this episode that will help you rethink how you work.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• What cyclical living is and what it looks like in practice

• How Morín plans her work around her menstrual cycle

• Why your body is a crucial part of your capacity and brand

• How cyclical working improves creativity, confidence and decision-making

• Ways non-menstruators can work cyclically

• How to spot your own patterns, peaks and dips

• Why linear productivity leads to burnout

• How your brand and your body are connected

In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Mitchell, a Business and Leadership Coach, Mentor and advisor who helps business owners and leaders to plan with intention, focus on what matters most to them, and turn what makes them unique into their competitive advantage.

After years in corporate, Chris reached a point where challenging the status quo (something is was brilliant at) wasn’t valued anymore. That realisation pushed him to start his own business, using redundancy as a chance to build something on his own terms.

We talk about unpicking corporate expectations, shaking off the need to work 9-5, and learning how to plan your way, not the way you think you ‘should’ do things. Chris shares openly about mistakes, overwhelm, vulnerability, and the reality of figuring things out step by step.

It’s an honest conversation about pace, permission, and the bravery it takes to do your thing when everyone else seems to be doing theirs differently.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• Why challenging the status quo is a strength - and how to use it well

• The struggle of shaking the corporate 9 to 5 mindset

• How expectations from others (and ourselves) shape the way we work

• Why planning doesn’t have to be complicated

• What to do when you feel overwhelmed or “spinning”

• Why letting go of what you’re not good at is just as important as owning what you are

• How defining your difference helps you stand out and speak with clarity

In this episode, I’m joined by Gina Buckle, a copywriter, brand voice strategist, and self-appointed Queen of Fun. Gina helps businesses inject personality and fun into their messaging without losing clarity or ‘professionalism’.

After years as a busy freelancer saying yes to everything, Gina realised she didn’t really have a business - just a lot of work. That realisation led her to build something intentional: a business designed around what she actually enjoyed doing.

We talk about finding your niche, unlearning hustle culture, and how to redefine success on your own terms. Gina shares what “fun” really means in a brand, how to use it intentionally to attract the right people (and put off the wrong ones). And we discuss the importance of building a business that feels like you.

It’s an honest, energetic conversation about self-awareness, boundaries, mindset, and why fun doesn’t make you any less professional - it makes you more you.

What you’ll learn in this episode

• Why fun and professionalism aren’t opposites

• What finding your niche really looks like in practice

• How Gina has redefined success

• The mindset shifts that help you work less and enjoy it more

• How to find your version of fun and build your brand around it
