This episode is for the girl you used to be - the one who learned to be agreeable, quiet, and easy so she could stay accepted and feel safe. The one who was called “shy” but was actually scanning the room. The one who hid her bigness to avoid being “too much.”
If you became what others needed, but lost touch with who you really are, this is your invitation to gently unmask. You were never too much or not enough. You were adapting. And now, you get to return to the version of you that was never broken - just hidden.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a really personal moment that completely caught me off guard - and shifted something deep within me.

Despite all the therapy, training, and self-awareness I’ve built over the years… it took one conversation with someone else to help me see a belief I’d been carrying for decades. A belief I didn’t even realise was still quietly shaping how I saw myself.

This episode is for you if you know yourself — you’ve done the work, you understand your patterns — and yet you still find yourself stuck in the same cycles:
people-pleasing, overthinking, avoidance, guilt.

We’ll explore why awareness isn’t always enough, how old stories can still run the show without us realising, and what it actually takes to start shifting the patterns that keep you stuck — even if you think you’dve already worked through them.

Want to uncover why it's so hard to make those changes you've been wanting to make? DM me on Instagram about how to get started or check out an UNLOCK Clarity session.

You’ve learnt the marketing strategies. You know what to do.

Rationally you know you'd be encouraging your friend to go for it - that she should shout about her achievements, that she deserves to.

So why are you still cringing when it’s time to show up?

Why do you feel so uncomfortable about putting yourself out there?

In this episode, I’m talking about the real reason visibility feels so hard — especially for women in business with people-pleasing patterns, masking habits, difficult past experiences or self-doubt

I cover why visibility isn’t just a strategy problem, but a safety problem…
…and why until you feel safe to be seen, no tactic will truly stick.

If you’re tired of hiding — but terrified to be visible — this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by a very special guest — mindset and personal stylist and founder of The Success Stylist Co, Emma — for a real and relatable conversation about confidence, self-expression, and breaking free from old patterns.

So many women describe confidence as feeling out of reach, like something you're either born with or not. But as you'll hear today, confidence is something that can be learned - even if you grew up with limiting beliefs, people-pleasing patterns, and the pressure to fit a mould.

Emma shares her own journey from self-doubt to self-trust. We explore the ways childhood conditioning can linger into adulthood, how fear of judgment can cause you to shrink, the reason it's so important to notice and address your mindset when it comes to promoting and being visible for your business and how reconnecting with your personal style can be a powerful tool for healing and self-confidence.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in self-doubt, struggled to express your true self, or longed to feel more confident showing up in your business (and your life), this conversation is for you.

I’m joined by Victoria Haydn, a brilliant brand photographer who works with women to capture them in a way that feels truly authentic and empowering.

I wanted to chat to Victoria because so much of what I cover on the podcast is about stepping into who you really are, letting go of people-pleasing, and embracing your worth—and having photos taken can bring up so many fears and insecurities that reflect limiting beliefs holding you back from living life on your terms.

Throughout this episode Victoria shares common struggles people-pleasers have when it comes to having their photos taken and tips and tricks she uses to help ease anxiety and self-consciousness.

I hope you enjoy this episode! If you want to find out more about Victoria you can find her on Instagram & check out her website https://www.victoriahaydn.com/

You pride yourself on being kind — but is it really kindness, or something else in disguise?

In this episode, I’m talking about the subtle but powerful difference between genuine kindness and people-pleasing. Because while kindness comes from empathy and choice, people-pleasing is often driven by fear, guilt, or a need for approval — and over time, it can quietly lead to burnout, resentment, and losing touch with who you really are.

I’ll walk you through the five types of people-pleasers — from the burnout pleaser to the chameleon — and share practical, down-to-earth strategies to help you tune into why you're saying yes, and what it’s costing you.

If this hits home and you're ready to get clear on what’s really behind your people-pleasing, head to my website and book in for a 90-minute Unlock Clarity session. Let’s make sense of it together.
