We’re starting 2026 with a powerful and deeply human conversation.

In the first episode of 2026, I’m joined by Barbara Legat-Kasel - Mental Fitness & Resilience Coach, author, speaker, and founder of Aspire Academy.

Barbara brings a rare blend of real-world corporate experience and profound inner work. She spent over 30 years in a fast paced, international corporate career in fashion buying, operating at the top of her field while navigating intense performance demands, responsibility, and expectations. In this episode, we explore how hustle culture quietly impacts people - especially women - and why “pushing through” is no longer the answer.

Barbara also shares her deeply personal and tragic story of losing her son, and how life was irrevocably changed in the aftermath. With honesty, compassion, and strength, she speaks about what it truly means to navigate grief, rebuild identity, and find a way to live - not just function - after loss.

Together, we discuss:

• What high performance really means - and how we need to redefine it
• How hustle culture affects our health, identity, and nervous system
• Why nervous-system regulation is essential for sustainable success
• How to support yourself through grief, uncertainty, and life transitions
• The concept of Inner Fitness First - working hard without burning out
• Building trust with yourself as the foundation of confidence and leadership

We also dive into Barbara’s incredible book, Held by the Unseen, which carries a powerful message about fear, trust, identity, and how we are held - even in life’s darkest moments.

This episode is for anyone who wants to succeed, lead, and grow - without sacrificing their wellbeing, humanity, or inner peace.

Why We Use Food to Measure Our Worth & How It Sabotages Our Success?

In this deeply transformative episode, I’m joined by Nikki Antonaccio -The Nutrition Psychology Coach specialising in women’s health, healing, hormones, and supporting high-performing women to succeed without burnout.

Nikki has helped over 500 women rewrite their health stories, reconnect with their bodies, and break the emotional patterns that have held them back for years.

This conversation is raw, revealing, and completely life-changing.

Nikki opens up about her own lived experience with disordered eating, external validation, and emotional battles - and how she transformed her inner work into a powerful business helping women step out of survival mode and into self-leadership.

Together, we dive into the truth behind:

✨ Why we use food as a way to measure our worth
(And why no other species on earth attaches emotion to food the way humans do.)

✨ How unprocessed emotions can lead to self-sabotage - even business sabotage!
When you don’t feel safe, seen, or enough, your body will act out the story you believe.

✨ The nervous system’s role in emotional eating and burnout
Your brain is always choosing safety over success.
And hustle? It’s actually a trauma response!

✨ The core beliefs driving emotional eating
“I’m not good enough.”
“I’m not important.”
“I’m not lovable.”
Nikki explains how these unconscious stories run our lives until we finally bring them into the light.

✨ Dr. Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry
How drilling down on your core narrative helps you understand the real reason you sabotage the things you want most.

✨ Why teaching your nervous system to PAUSE is the real power move
“The world will not blow up if you stop for 5 minutes.”
Your nervous system needs safety, not more hustle.

✨ How high-achieving women can still succeed -without burning out their bodies, hormones, or joy in the process

This episode is bursting with insights, emotional breakthroughs, and practical tools you can start implementing today.

If you’re someone who pushes hard, overworks, or uses food to cope…
If you want to understand your nervous system, your emotions, and your success on a deeper level…
If you’re ready to break the patterns that have been running your life for years…

This conversation will change everything!

In this week’s episode of The Mindset Model Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most powerful secrets to success ... who you surround yourself with and how you speak to yourself.

After attending the Kayleigh Greenacre documentary premiere, “Actually, I Can,” I was reminded just how life-changing it is to be in a room full of people who truly want to see you win. It’s proof that when we come together with shared purpose and belief, anything is possible.

In this episode, you’ll discover:
✨ Why your environment is the biggest influence on your mindset and success.
✨ The link between community and self-belief — how your circle mirrors your self-image.
✨ Why your self-talk is part of your community too.
✨ How to recognise when you’ve outgrown old rooms and need to find new expanders.
✨ The power of saying yes to events, opportunities, and rooms that elevate your energy.

This episode is your reminder that you’re not meant to do life alone — you’re meant to grow, evolve, and expand alongside people who reflect the highest version of you.

What if the only thing standing between you and your dream life… was the identity you’re choosing to live from?

In this week’s episode of The Mindset Model Podcast, I’m diving deep into Mindset Model Method concept of identity-first transformation ... the secret that completely changed my life.

You’ll learn:
✨ What identity-first transformation really means (and why most people get this backwards)
✨ The Hierarchy of Change and why starting at the level of identity creates rapid results
✨ Why manifestation isn’t about “waiting until it’s real,” but about being it first
✨ My own story of going from unemployed and anxious → to actor, presenter, and business owner by shifting who I believed I was
✨ How embodying the version of you who already has what you want pulls opportunities and success into your life

I’ll also share how my mentor Kathleen Cameron taught me to step into the identity of the woman I wanted to become, long before the results showed up.

💡 Key takeaway: You don’t manifest what you want. You manifest who you are.
