Send us a textLeanne SpencerBalance sounds elegant until real life starts throwing curveballs. We open up about why “perfect equilibrium” keeps so many women stuck and how a flexible blend, anchored in agency and integrity, can carry you further with less struggle. Our guest, award‑winning keynote speaker and best‑selling author Leanne Spencer, takes us from the city highs and the crash of burnout to the practical tools that helped her rebuild energy, mood, and motivation for the long haul.We talk candidly about the pressure to do it all, the trap of hustle culture, and the emotional toll of ignoring what your body is trying to tell you. Leanne breaks down her Sustain framework into four powerful pillars: values that set clean boundaries, identity that inspires ownership, community that buffers stress and boosts longevity, and resources that turn intentions into daily action. Expect real stories, like the moment a panic attack became a turning point, and the Arctic lesson that proved small fixes done early prevent big problems later.You’ll learn a simple one-thing method for energy, mood, and motivation, how to cultivate a high-agency mindset when life feels heavy, and why stopping can be the most productive move you make today. We also explore volunteering, chosen tribes, and the quiet strength of doing the right thing when nobody is watching. If you’ve been wondering how to sustain success without losing yourself, this conversation offers clear steps, compassionate truths, and a reminder that you don’t have to pick between achievement and wellbeing.If this spoke to you, tap follow, share it with a sister who’s carrying too much, and leave us a review so more women can find these tools.

Send us a textWhat if the life that proves you “made it” is the very thing keeping you from yourself? We sit down with Rochelle Trow, founder of The Change Canvas and author of Awakening to Wholeness, A Life Unmasked to trace her journey from global HR executive to values-led leadership coach. This is a story about the cost of chasing success that shines on paper but starves the soul, and the radical clarity that follows when you stop overriding your body and start telling the truth.Rochelle opens up about the mirror moment that revealed her burnout, and the deeper question that changed everything: Who am I without the labels? We map her “freedom to shine” plan: ending a misaligned marriage, stepping away from a title-driven career, rebuilding trust at home, and healing her body from the inside out. As her inner world aligned, the weight of stress lifted—on the scale and in her spirit. The takeaway is practical and hopeful: redefine success on your terms, create boundaries that honour your values, and trade perfection for presence. Whether you’re in HR, leading teams, or simply ready to unmask, you’ll leave with tools to regulate under pressure, meet triggers with care, and make choices your nervous system can support.If this conversation moved you or made you feel seen, follow the show, share it with a sister, and leave a review.
