There comes a moment when your inner voice gets louder than the noise of expectations. In this solo and final episode of Your Worth, Your Way, I share the story behind the decision to press pause on the podcast - not from burnout, but from alignment, clarity, and soul truth.

This episode is a heartfelt reflection on the beautiful journey this podcast has been, the magic of every guest conversation, and the power of trusting when something has come to completion. If you've ever wrestled with the decision to let something go, not because it's broken, but because you're evolving, this is for you.

This episode is more than a farewell. It's a love letter to alignment, spaciousness, and permission. And it’s a reminder that we’re allowed to shift, to grow, and to let go without apology.

Key Takeaways from This Episode

✔ You don’t have to keep going just because something is working - alignment matters more than momentum.

✔ Saying no to one thing can be the gateway to saying a bigger yes to yourself.

✔ Honouring your own evolution is one of the most powerful things you can do.

✔ Endings don’t have to be heavy - they can be liberating, expansive, and filled with love.

✔ Your intuition will always guide you home, if you’re willing to listen.

Have you ever looked around at your life - your job, your success, your leadership role - and thought, “I should feel grateful… but something still feels off”?

In this episode of Your Worth, Your Way, I’m joined by Emma Mason, a success coach for senior women leaders navigating big transitions in their careers and lives. Emma shares her own powerful story of walking away from a high-powered role in the Australian Government after burnout forced her to reckon with the version of success she’d been chasing.

Together, we explore the inner unraveling that often begins in midlife - the gentle (and sometimes not-so-gentle) nudge from within that says, “This isn’t sustainable anymore.” We dive into how the pressures of corporate leadership, coupled with the silent impact of perimenopause, can cause women to doubt themselves, question their value, and feel completely unrecognisable to themselves.

This conversation is a permission slip to slow down, reflect, and begin the courageous process of coming home to yourself. If you're feeling stuck, emotionally depleted, or quietly wondering what’s next?, this episode will speak directly to your soul.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Burnout isn’t a sign of failure - it’s a sacred invitation to pause, reassess, and realign.

✔ Perimenopause is more than a hormonal shift - it’s a rite of passage into deeper personal power.

✔ Dismantling outdated models of success is essential if we want to lead with authenticity and impact.

✔ You don’t need to burn it all down to create something new - you just need to stop abandoning yourself.

✔ When we honour the voice within, we unlock a more sustainable, soul-aligned way to lead, live, and thrive.

So many women are burning themselves out trying to “do more” in the name of manifestation. But what if the true path to your dream life isn’t about effort… it’s about alignment?

In this expansive conversation, I’m joined by Victoria Quance - author, retreat leader, and intuitive mentor for soul-led entrepreneurs - who shares the truth about what it really takes to manifest a magnetic, purpose-driven life.

Intuition Quiz

Sometimes the biggest obstacle to self-worth is the belief that you can’t trust yourself. When you’ve grown up in survival mode - managing chaos, suppressing your needs, and constantly scanning for danger - it’s no wonder self-doubt becomes your default. But healing is possible.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by trauma-led hypnotherapist Anouska Tetley, who shares how early trauma and conditioning disconnect us from our inner voice and sense of safety - and how we can reconnect with both. We explore the subconscious roots of self-doubt, perfectionism, and people-pleasing, and why rebuilding self-trust is essential to reclaiming your worth.

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “not enough,” if you carry a deep fear of getting it wrong, or if you long to feel grounded in who you are, this conversation will feel like a warm, empowering exhale.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Self-trust is the foundation of self-worth - and it can be rebuilt, no matter your past

✔ Trauma often teaches us to abandon our needs in order to feel safe or accepted

✔ Hypnotherapy can help rewire subconscious beliefs that keep us stuck in self-doubt

✔ True healing starts with creating safety in your body and nervous system

✔ You are allowed to take up space, say no, and live life on your own terms

If you've ever felt like saying "no" would let someone down-or that your worth is tied to how much you give, produce, or perfect-this episode is here to lovingly disrupt that belief. I’m joined by the radiant Kate Browning, Creative Unicorn & Boundaries Queen, to explore the truth about what it really takes to live joyfully, authentically, and unapologetically.

Kate shares her journey from burnout and chronic illness to building a business (and life) centred on radical self-care, strong boundaries, and creative freedom. Together, we unpack the invisible pressure to constantly “do more,” the sneaky ways people-pleasing shows up, and the liberating power of choosing yourself-again and again.

Whether you’ve struggled to set boundaries in business, relationships, or your own mind, this conversation will remind you that your energy is sacred, your “no” is powerful, and your worth is not up for negotiation.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Strong boundaries are the foundation of self-worth and sustainable success

✔ You don’t need to earn rest or prove your value through overgiving

✔ Letting go of the “shoulds” creates space for more joy, creativity, and alignment

✔ You are not selfish for putting your needs first-you are wise

✔ Your quirks, softness, and voice are what make you powerful

You know the tools. You’ve done the healing. But deep down, you still question your own inner knowing.

In this episode of Your Worth, Your Way, I’m joined by the luminous Becca Shaw - Akashic Records Coach and spiritual guide - for a heart-opening conversation on what it really takes to rebuild self-trust after toxic dynamics, emotional burnout, and years of overriding your intuition.

Becca shares her own story of healing after a relationship that drained her sense of worth, and how accessing the Akashic Records became a powerful gateway back to alignment, clarity, and soul-led decision-making.

Together, we explore the quiet unraveling of self-trust, the difference between being empowered for others versus yourself, and why guidance isn’t something outside you - it’s something within you, waiting to be remembered.

If you’ve ever felt like you “should know better” but still can’t shake the doubt, this episode is your loving nudge back to truth.

✔ You can be intuitive, spiritual, and still struggle with self-trust - it doesn’t make you broken.

✔ The Akashic Records aren’t about predicting your future - they’re about reconnecting with your truth.

✔ Self-worth isn’t a mindset - it’s a soul memory that gets activated through alignment.

✔ Healing is often about remembering who you are, not becoming someone new.

✔ You are allowed to trust yourself - even when others don’t understand your path.

Burnout isn’t just about doing too much - it’s what happens when you forget your own needs even exist. In this episode, I’m joined by women’s coach and Soul Fire founder Jen Goddard, who shares her powerful story of breaking free from the cycle of overgiving, people-pleasing, and self-sacrifice.

We dive into the emotional truth behind burnout, how our conditioning around being “the strong one” keeps us stuck, and why reclaiming your energy starts with remembering your worth. Jen shares gentle, grounded insights on how to set boundaries without guilt, meet your own needs (even when it feels foreign), and find joy in the everyday again - starting with something as simple as making yourself pancakes.

This conversation is for the woman who feels invisible in her own life - and is ready to come home to herself.

✔ You can’t set boundaries if you don’t believe your needs matter.

✔ Burnout is often the result of chronic self-neglect, not overwork.

✔ Boundaries are a form of love - for yourself and your relationships.

✔ Shifting your energy (not always your words) can change relational dynamics.

✔ Self-worth begins with meeting your basic needs - then expanding into desire and joy.

You know you’re meant to trust yourself more - but if you’re still looping in overthinking, perfectionism, or pressure... your intuition may be speaking, but your ego is still steering. This quiz is designed to help you tune into your current relationship with intuitive self-trust - and discover what’s really guiding your decisions: fear or soul. It’s not about being “good” at intuition. It’s about remembering how to listen. Let’s find out where you are and where you’re ready to rise.

Intuition...

You’ve done all the things - been the good girl, the hard worker, the one everyone can count on. You’ve ticked the boxes of success… but still feel disconnected from your own sense of worth. If that sounds familiar, this episode is a homecoming.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by the luminous Angela Bargerstock - frequency architect, soul whisperer, and former nurse - who brings 25 years of experience in health, wellness, and energy healing to the table. Together, we explore how confidence isn’t something you build through doing more… it’s something you reclaim by remembering who you already are.

Angela shares her journey from chronic illness and burnout to energetic sovereignty, and the profound shift that came when she stopped shape-shifting to fit the world’s expectations - and started honouring her soul’s rhythm instead. We dive into how high-capacity, sensitive women can stop outsourcing their worth and start living full-spectrum lives - without apology, without hustle, and without guilt.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to prove your worth, this episode is a deep breath for your nervous system and a loving invitation to come home to yourself.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ True confidence comes from within - it’s the by-product of embodiment, not performance.

✔ Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness - it’s a superpower when you know how to work with it.

✔ Nervous system regulation is the gateway to clarity, creativity, and sustainable self-worth.

✔ You’re not here to earn your worth - you’re here to remember it.

✔ There’s a difference between looking aligned and feeling aligned. One keeps you stuck. The other sets you free.
