Episode 13 : Burnout in the Pursuit of Success – The Hidden Cost of Running a Business

Hosted by Yvonne Pritchard

In this episode of Female & Fabulous – Brave & Bold, Kirsty and I explore a truth that many female entrepreneurs live with but rarely talk about: the burnout that comes from constantly pushing to be successful.

Whether you're chasing financial goals, building a brand, or simply trying to prove yourself, the pressure can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health. I open up about the realities behind the hustle, and the silent burnout that can creep in while everything looks “successful” from the outside.

This episode is an honest reflection on ambition, boundaries, and the importance of redefining success on your own terms.

This Episode is for You If:

• You’re a business owner feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or emotionally drained
• You feel pressure to constantly “do more” to be seen as successful
• You want to create a healthier, more sustainable relationship with your work

Episode 11: Emma’s Story – Navigating Life with Postnatal Depression

Hosted by Yvonne Pritchard

In this honest and deeply moving episode of Female & Fabulous – Brave & Bold, I speak with Emma as she shares her experience of living with postnatal depression. From the early signs she didn’t recognise, to the overwhelming emotions that followed the birth of her child, Emma opens up about the reality so many women silently face.

Together, we explore the stigma that still surrounds maternal mental health, how Emma sought help, and the steps she took toward healing and recovery. Her story is a powerful reminder that struggling after birth doesn’t make you a bad mother—it makes you human.

• You want to better understand the emotional challenges of motherhood
