She Doesn't Know It Yet, But...

This episode is a personal share from me. I've been noticing some beliefs I’ve picked up in recent years. While they do make sense, I've realised that they might actually be holding me back. These thoughts seemed wise and protective… but they also quietly undermine who I am and how I want to be.So in this episode, I take you behind the scenes into my reflections - how I’m turning down the volume on some unhelpful thoughts, and amplifying some more helpful ones instead. It's a thought upgrade. Are you due for one too?Let's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.

These are some intense times we're living in. In today's episode I'm sharing how during times of upheaval, destabilisation or even just busy-ness, we may have a greater need for stabilising structures in our lives. It could enable you to experience more ease, or to sustain you as we keep your focus and effort where it needs to be.Drawing inspiration from the idea of sthira (steady) and sukha (comfortable) as in the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali, I'm sharing 5 simple ideas for bringing some gentle steadiness into your life. Let's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.

Business can be infused with community care, and Emily Williamson is living proof! In today's episode, I'm chatting with them about the evolution of their beautiful, heart-led business, Emily the Meal Dealer.The business grew out of their work as a doula where they realised how much they loved caring for people through cooking. When their marriage broke down, Emily found themself as a single parent, and driven by the desire to support themself and their kids, took a deeper dive into their business. Emily shares so generously about the realities of caring work, the tension between charging for something you’d do for free, and how they’ve found a way to weave community, compassion and practicality into their business model.I love hearing about business owners that have managed to integrate generosity and giving back in a sustainable way. So I really enjoyed this chat, and I'm sure you will too! Connect with Emily:Find them on instagram @emily.the.meal.dealerLet's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.

I've had these words rolling around my brain for a little while now:  feminism has utterly betrayed itself.  This statement from Randa Abdel-Fattah at a recent panel on Feminism in the time of Gaza really cut through. It brought on a wave of reflection. A kind of reckoning with myself. In today's episode, we explore what happens when a movement with equality at its heart, fails to live up to its own ideology. And more specifically, what that means for those of us who consider ourselves to be feminists. This isn't just about the 'feminist movement'. It's about me, a feminist, taking an honest look at myself, my beliefs and my actions.I share what I'm unlearning, where I've found my own blind spots, and invite you to join me in grappling with some (possibly uncomfortable) questions for yourself.Let's Connect!I'd love to hear from you.
