She splits her time between an in-house coaching role at a global tech company and her own practice (supervision, speaking and consultancy), a deliberate design choice after years of building her business solo.Her work centres on Relational Intelligence: the idea that modern life has eroded our capacity to relate well, to ourselves, each other, and the systems we're part of. She speaks and writes on the future of work, with a particular focus on Whole Life Ambition, helping ambitious women reclaim ambition from endurance culture, and challenging organisations to rethink what sustainable success actually looks like. Clients include Google, British Airways, Warner Music, and AllBright Everywoman.In this episodeTimestamps approximate, from the transcript, confirm against the final edit.00:17: Who Nicola Rae is now, splitting her week between an in-house coaching role and her own practice07:47: The minimum wage bridge job she's never really talked about publicly before09:19: Building her coaching business, and the £10,000 she'd saved before going on maternity leave19:02: Whole life ambition, and why we've only ever been taught to have ambition for our careers28:00: Writing her own job spec, and finding the "unicorn" role on LinkedIn33:31: Realising work had become her whole identity, and the divorce that changed that50:47: Why rest isn't the reward, and building it into her day before the demands start56:26: Her advice for founders on building a support network, and what she'd tell her younger selfMentioned in this episodeA Life More Inspired (alifemoreinspired.com): Nicola's coaching businessConnect with NicolaWebsite: alifemoreinspired.comWhole Life Ambition Map: nicolarae.myflodesk.com/wholelifeambitionmapInstagram: @itsnicolaraeLinkedIn: Nicola RaeSubstack: @nicolaraeConnect with NonieTake the Leadership Identity Quiz: https://noniewhite.com/leadership-identity-quiz/Find out more about the Unshakeable Method, Nonie's four-month 1:1 coaching programme: https://noniewhite.com/becoming-unshakeable/Next episodeNonie talks to Florina Mînzat, a professional athlete turned deep tech founder building EcothermiQ, climate tech designed to change how buildings heat and cool. For around 30 years, fighting to win, pushing through and refusing to give up had served her well, until she became a solo founder and hustling harder started working against her. This conversation is about what happens when your greatest strength becomes your answer to everything, and how Flo learned to recognise when to fight, when to stop, and when to accept help.
