    258. Self-Compassion and an ADHD Diagnosis with Phyllis (A Powerful Member's Journey)
    2025/12/17
    What changes when you start treating yourself with compassion instead of constantly pushing through? In this episode, I'm joined by one of my Powerful members, Phyllis, for a conversation about self-compassion, identity, and what it can look like to understand yourself in a new way. Phyllis shares her experience of receiving an ADHD diagnosis and how coaching supported her through the assessment process and the emotional shifts that followed.

    This conversation also looks at what it means to honour your needs without justification or apology. Phyllis shares how self compassion has shaped the way she responds to stress, makes decisions, and communicates with others. Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, this episode offers a grounded example of what it looks like to stop fixing yourself and start supporting yourself instead.

    257. Long-Term Goals and Imperfection with Heather (A Powerful Member's Journey)
    2025/12/10
    What if the goal you set made failure impossible? In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Newson, one of my long-time members from Powerful, who shares her experience of working with the goal of being okay with getting things wrong. Heather takes us through her journey of navigating perfectionism and how embracing imperfection has shaped both her personal and business life.

    We also explore Heather's bold long-term goal. She shares how she's remained connected to this vision despite life's curveballs and how taking imperfect action has helped her continue moving forward. Heather's story is a powerful example of how staying committed to big dreams can lead to growth, even when things don't unfold as quickly as expected.

  • 256. Interdependence: How to Give and Receive Support

    256. Interdependence: How to Give and Receive Support
    2025/12/03
    What happens when you stop choosing between doing everything yourself and relying on someone else? In this final instalment of my three-part series, I am looking at the middle place where you can hold yourself and allow others to hold you as well. This is where relationships and collaborations become stronger because you are no longer operating from the extremes that keep you isolated or overly dependent.

    Interdependence is the point where mutual support, shared decision-making and healthy boundaries can flourish. You will learn how to recognise where you are overdoing independence or dependence in your relationships and how to shift those patterns. This work is practical and steadying and will help you build relationships that feel supportive in both directions.

    255. Resourcefulness & Self-Reliance: When to Figure It Out Yourself
    2025/11/26
    Have you ever watched someone post a question in an online group that they could have typed into Google instead? I'm exploring why some people default to asking others before engaging their own problem-solving skills, and why this pattern matters more than you might think. You'll discover specific ways to engage your own resourcefulness before asking for help, understand the difference between functional dependence and emotional outsourcing, and learn how to ask for support without abandoning your agency. By the end, you'll have a framework for noticing where you might be training others to depend on you, and where you might be depending too heavily on others yourself.

  • 254. When Independence and Self-Reliance Turn into Isolation

    254. When Independence and Self-Reliance Turn into Isolation
    2025/11/19
    When you pride yourself on being capable and independent, it can be easy to miss when self-reliance starts to become isolating. Many of us learned early on that doing everything ourselves felt safer than depending on others, especially if asking for help once led to criticism or disappointment. But when the instinct to rely only on yourself becomes automatic, it can leave you stretched thin and disconnected from the people who want to support you.

    In this episode, I explore the difference between healthy independence and the form of independence that hardens into hyper-independence. You will learn how to recognise the moments when you shut down the possibility of support, how to soften the belief that you must do everything yourself, and how to take one simple step towards letting help in. These shifts do not mean abandoning your resourcefulness. They mean creating a life where you can rely on yourself and stay connected to others at the same time.

    253. Self-Silencing: The Cost of Not Speaking Up
    2025/11/12
    When you leave a conversation wishing you had said something, that tightening in your throat is a signal from your body, not a failure on your part. Self-silencing often feels safer than speaking up, but it comes at a cost. The words you swallow can show up as tension, frustration, or even physical symptoms, because holding things in keeps your system in protection mode.

    In this episode, I explore why self-silencing feels instinctive and what it takes to unwind that pattern. You'll learn how to recognise the difference between deliberate, grounded silence and the kind that keeps you stuck, as well as how to start speaking honestly in ways that strengthen rather than threaten your relationships.

    252. Bringing Your Next Big Idea to Life
    2025/11/05
    Have you ever had an idea but found yourself unsure of how to take the first step? Maybe you're overwhelmed by the lack of time, energy, or support, and it feels like the idea is impossible to bring to life. The reason it feels that way is often tied to the way you're thinking about it. In this episode, I'm sharing a fresh perspective on how to approach your ideas and bring them to life with more ease.

    I'm discussing the common mistakes I see people making when they're trying to execute their ideas and offering a new approach. You'll learn how to move beyond the obstacles that feel insurmountable and begin the journey of turning your idea into reality.

  • 251. Stewing or Savouring: Where Your Attention Goes

    251. Stewing or Savouring: Where Your Attention Goes
    2025/10/29
    Do you spend more time stewing on things than savouring them? Most of us replay frustrating situations in our minds far more often than we savour what feels good. But the brain uses the same circuitry for both. One keeps you trapped in stress, the other expands your capacity for joy.

    In this episode, I explore how to redirect that mental energy towards what nourishes you. You'll learn how to notice when you're looping on something, how to recognise whether you're processing or stewing, and how to build a simple daily practice of savouring. This small shift can transform your baseline mood and help you feel more grounded, connected, and present in your life.
