Season 2. Let's crack on.

In this first episode of the new season of It’s Got Pockets, we are not talking about louder goals or bigger hustle. We are talking about the quiet revolution happening inside ambitious women with experience. The women in business, the founders, the leaders, the ones who have held the sky up for everyone else and are suddenly realising they crave peace just as much as they crave progress.

If you are a woman in business who is exhausted by performing, still ambitious but bone tired of proving yourself over and over, this is for you.

Inside this episode we get into:

• Why so many high performing, experienced women are craving quiet, not because they are shrinking, but because they are done with the noise of constant comparison and performance
• The difference between chaos adventure and peaceful adventure and why I am choosing jimmies by 9 and a walk up Snowdon over pretending roller coasters are fun
• The moment on my driveway, in the dark, in the rain after a full day of workshops that snapped something into place about what real peace feels like
• How stillness is not laziness or opting out. It is data. It is your nervous system finally closing a few tabs so you can hear what you really want next
• Why presence for women in leadership is not about being the loudest person in the room. It is about being anchored in your own worth and lived in wisdom

We talk about quiet power as something precise, not passive. Presence as something grounded, not shouty. The kind of Inner Edge that means people naturally lean in when you speak, without you needing to set yourself on fire for impact.

Your pocket question this week:

Where in your life do you need to turn the noise down, not to disappear, but to hear yourself again?

Take it into your journal, into your commute, into that stolen two minutes in the car on the drive when the rain is hammering on the windscreen and you finally breathe. Quiet is not the absence of fire. It is often the moment it burns the brightest.

If you listen and it lands, and you instantly think of another woman who is running a business, leading a team or holding up everyone’s sky but her own, send this episode to her. Let her know she is not the only one craving a different kind of success.
