Have you ever heard that voice in your head whisper, “You’re not good enough” or “Who do you think you are to do this?”

That’s your inner critic — and in this episode, I’m getting real about where it comes from, how to spot it, and the 5 powerful steps I use to take back my power and show up with confidence that feels grounded, not forced.

I also share personal stories I’ve never told before — from almost not launching my podcast, to letting go of perfectionism as a mum, to coaching women who are doing brave, beautiful things despite fear.

If you’ve been holding back your voice, your offer, or your story… this one’s for you.

What if hitting rock bottom was the moment you finally found clarity?
That’s what happened to Sophia Salmon — after a mental health crisis forced her to walk away from a high-level corporate career, she rebuilt her life and business from the ground up.

But this isn’t just a comeback story. It’s a call to every woman who’s ever thought:
✨ “I can’t do this anymore.”
✨ “Something has to change.”
✨ “There must be a better way to live and work.”

In this episode, Sophia shares the raw truth behind burnout, the toxic hustle culture in corporate life, and how she chose freedom, alignment, and mental sustainability instead.

If you’ve ever felt like you're suffocating in a life that looks successful on the outside but feels anything but — this conversation will land.

💔 Why This Episode Matters:

So many women leave corporate not because they’re not ambitious — but because the system wasn’t built with us in mind. From being sidelined after maternity leave, to navigating mental health alone, to constantly proving our worth… it’s exhausting.

Sophia’s story is one of reclaiming her voice, redefining her values, and saying: “There has to be another way.” And she’s built it.

⏱ Episode Chapters:
00:00How Sophia and I met, and why her story needed to be told.

03:00The moment everything changed: Sophia’s mental health turning point.

08:00 Using corporate experience to build a purpose-led business.

10:30Helping women see their worth and potential

13:00 The true ROI: Why confidence matters more than KPIs

18:00 Redefining your ideal client and giving yourself permission to pivot

22:00 Connection over perfection: How Sophia finds aligned clients

30:00 How she protects her energy, prioritizes recovery, and defines sustainable success

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure where you're headed? This meditation is for you—the busy mum who’s giving her all but craving space to reconnect, slow down, and visualise a life that feels more aligned and less rushed.

Whether you’re juggling motherhood, building a business, or simply feeling the pressure of always being “on,” this calming visualisation meditation will help you pause, breathe, and see the woman you’re becoming.

When I left my corporate job and started building my own path, I realised how powerful it is to stop and visualise the life I actually want—not the one others expect.

This practice of connecting with my calm, future self helped me stay grounded while growing two businesses during motherhood. I hope this meditation does the same for you: gives you clarity, confidence, and space to remember who you are.

✨ What You’ll Experience:

• A peaceful visualisation to help you reset and reimagine your future
• A guided journey to calm your nervous system and clear mental clutter
• Affirmations that ground self-trust, confidence, and self-worth
• A moment to reconnect with the version of you you’re growing into
