If you're feeling stuck or trapped by the daily grind, book a 1:1 coaching session with me and let's get you the momentum you're looking for

Endings don’t need noise to matter. They need honesty, time, and the courage to pause when the calendar demands motion. I'm sharing a rare behind‑the‑scenes moment: why the podcast is heading toward its final chapters, and how I'm letting the ending arrive on its own schedule rather than forcing a finish for the sake of a date.

Together we unpack the difference between finishing and ending well, and how cultural pressure—deadlines, year‑end goals, “new year, new you”—can push us to rush what deserves care. You’ll hear personal stories of exits done too fast, the hollowness that follows, and the subtle relief of stepping back to notice what’s truly complete. We explore the quiet mechanics of clarity: waiting longer than is comfortable, following energy instead of a plan, and allowing direction to surface in small, steady signals. Think seasonally, not just strategically; winter is for rest and nature works in cycles.

I also share two practical anchors. First, the podcast will rest over the holidays so the final episodes can land with integrity, not obligation. Second, for anyone stuck between fatigue and possibility, the Rebel Reset offers a focused 90‑minute session to cut through fog and choose a next step that actually feels like you.

If this speaks to you, follow along or share with a friend who needs permission to rest, thoughtful endings and brave new beginnings...

By the way, Here's that full article from Kim @ Clementine

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!

Fancy a quick chat? Book a connection call with me and let's see if I can help you disrupt your own status quo with a little coaching.

What if freedom isn’t a stamp-filled passport but a calendar that finally breathes? I sit down with travel-writer-turned-coach Georgie Darling to unpack how a business can fund a bigger life instead of quietly swallowing it. From the early thrill of flights and flexible work to the hard truth of vanishing time, Georgie maps the shift from chasing escape to designing ease—on purpose.

We get specific about the levers that matter: auditing your workload to kill performative tasks, tightening your offer into services you love, and pricing for stability with retainers that buy back hours. Georgie shares how she helps creative women—writers, videographers, digital marketers—ditch hustle myths, set humane boundaries, and choose clients who energise instead of exhaust. For midlife listeners balancing kids and careers, we explore freedom that looks like steady income, clear guardrails and emotional confidence in your craft, not another app to master.

Travel can be a mirror. Notice the feelings you chase—curiosity, calm, aliveness—and rebuild your week to create them without a boarding pass. Start with a small rebellion: a half-day for joy, a solo lunch, a train to somewhere new. Then write to your future self and use simple tools— a goal breakdown, a firm schedule—to turn vision into steps. You don’t need every skill under the sun; you need mastery, messaging and the courage to say no when your gut whispers red flag.

Ready to design a business that gives you a life? Press play, then tell me the one hour you’ll reclaim this week. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to go slower, and leave a quick review so more rebels can find us.

This week I sit down with Meg the Creator to dive into a calm, repeatable way to earn online without chasing followers, going live, or turning your life into content. Megan left her 9-5 job during maternity leave, paid off $60,000 in debt, and built a sustainable business by creating user‑generated content for brands—quiet work with loud results.

We unpack what UGC really is and why marketers love it: real people making authentic videos and photos that brands own and scale across ads and social. Megan breaks down how beginners get hired fast through apps like JoinBrands, Billo, Incense, and Tribe, often with scripts and shot lists provided. No portfolio? No problem. You’ll learn how to land first gigs in a day, and use simple negotiation to move from one‑offs to bundles and retainers. We dig into the psychology that sells—leading with emotion, not specs—and how to frame everyday benefits that drive clicks and conversions.

For introverts, this path feels humane. We talk boundaries that protect energy, batching to avoid burnout, and choosing brand categories that feel aligned. Meg shares candid student wins, from parents earning 5k in their first month to older creators landing paid videos without public profiles. She also reveals the edge behind her Anti‑Influencer Method: a living master list of brands, agencies, and faceless opportunities that bridges learning to paid work. If you’ve been stuck in the myth that only influence equals income, this episode hands you a blueprint that turns one content skill into multiple revenue streams.
