If you identify as a recovering perfectionist... or suspect you might be one, this episode is for you. You’ll recognise the pressure to get everything right, the over-editing, the time guilt, the anxiety before and after you speak, and the quiet belief that if you just try harder, you’ll finally feel calm.

This episode is a practical, compassionate guide to understanding how perfectionism really operates in your life - not as a flaw, but as a learned safety strategy rooted in high expectations, people-pleasing, and fear of judgment. You’ll see how it shows up through overthinking, harsh self-talk, unrealistic time standards, and the constant feeling of being “behind.”

More importantly, you’ll learn how to recover without losing your integrity. You’ll be guided through tools to shift from perfection to progress: prioritising output over over-polishing, time-blocking with boundaries, journaling to reality-check your standards, and building trust in yourself and others.

This episode helps you trade pressure for calm, and finally breathe again.

You’re smart, capable, and self-aware - but when it comes to family dynamics, emotional labour, or old patterns that still sting, you might feel torn between compassion and resentment?

In this episode, you’re invited into a deeply human conversation about what it really means to lead with love - without bypassing your anger, minimising your pain, or excusing behaviour that hurts you.

You’ll hear why holding space doesn’t mean carrying other people’s emotions for them, and how empathy can sometimes make things heavier instead of lighter.

You’ll learn the difference between feeling for someone and allowing them to feel for themselves. Most importantly, you’ll explore how to break generational cycles without hardening your heart or losing your voice.

Key takeaways:

• Why compassion without boundaries drains you
• How to process anger before choosing forgiveness
• How leading with love starts with self-respect, not self-sacrifice

If you’ve ever thought, “I want to be better, but I don’t want to pretend it didn’t hurt,” this episode is for you.

You’re capable. You’re responsible. You get things done. And yet, there’s a quiet frustration that keeps tapping you on the shoulder: When do I get to work on me?

In Episode 185, you’re guided through the tension you live with every day - juggling the non-negotiables of work, life, and responsibility, while longing to create space for growth, fulfilment, and the next chapter that matters to you. This episode gently reframes why change feels so hard, and shows you how to step off the hamster wheel without burning everything down.

You’ll discover:

• Why time, focus, and energy work in a hierarchy - not a balancing act
• How small, intentional planning shifts can unlock motivation and momentum
• Practical ways to protect your energy while still meeting your obligations

If you’re tired of feeling stuck in “doing” mode and ready to move forward with clarity and self-trust, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

You don’t need more pressure or bigger resolutions this year. You need a smarter, kinder way to go after what you want. In this episode, you’re invited to pause, reset, and rethink how you approach goals, especially if you’re someone who starts strong but loses momentum along the way.

You’ll hear why willpower alone isn’t the problem, and how real, sustainable change comes from aligning three essential pillars: your capability, your capacity, and your motivation. This conversation gently helps you understand yourself better, instead of judging why you “can’t stick to things.”

Key takeaways you’ll love:

• Why losing motivation doesn’t mean you’re broken, it means your system needs adjusting
• How to protect your energy so goals don’t feel heavy or draining
• A simple framework to help you create momentum that actually lasts

If you’re ready to move into 2026 with clarity, self-trust, and a goal that feels meaningful (not exhausting), this episode will meet you exactly where you are, and help you take the next right step forward.

Let's:

• Reconnect with your authenticity and express yourself in ways that feel safe and true
• Invite more enjoyment, presence, and fulfilment into everyday moments
• Gently release the cycle of busyness and choose what supports you and your energy

This episode is a permission slip you rarely give yourself: permission to slow down, to feel, and to actually be in your life, without guilt. Recorded in the quiet space between Christmas chaos and reflection, Rhiannon explores how constant busyness keeps you disconnected from pleasure, clarity, and desire. This isn’t about quitting your ambition or doing less forever. It’s about recognising when the hamster wheel is stopping you from noticing what’s working, what’s draining you, and what you no longer want to carry into 2026.

Key takeaways:

• Why slowing down is essential for regulating your nervous system and reconnecting with yourself.
• How your senses and thoughts shape your emotional state, and what happens when you never pause to notice them.
• A simple, non-dramatic way to reflect on your life (career, relationships, energy) without needing a massive overhaul.

If you’ve been achieving, coping, pushing... but not enjoying, this episode will land deeply.

If you’re exhausted from overthinking, staying polite, and shrinking yourself to survive work… this episode is your loving wake-up call.

In Episode 181, Rhiannon speaks directly to the moment when reflection stops helping and action becomes the only way forward. This is about unmuting yourself when silence is costing you confidence, credibility, and momentum.

Through a recent client “blast session,” you’ll hear why waiting to be noticed, included, or validated keeps you stuck... and how confidence is built by doing, not being chosen.

This episode is about pulling your hair into a ponytail, stepping into discomfort, and owning your work, your voice, and your space. Even when your hands shake.

Key takeaways:

1. Confidence grows when you stop managing perception and start taking ownership.
2. Being talked over ends when you decide to be seen and heard.
3. Unmuting yourself will feel uncomfortable, but silence feels worse.

This is Unmute in action.

If you’ve ever replayed a mistake on loop, felt ashamed of something you “should have known better” about, or held yourself to an impossible standard… this episode is going to feel like exhaling for the first time in years.

In this raw and grounding conversation, Rhiannon takes you on a journey into self-forgiveness - the quiet, unseen skill that might be the barrier between where you are and the confident woman you know you can be. You’ll explore why you hold onto guilt long after others would’ve let it go, how buried emotions sabotage your success, and why your brain waits until you’re ready before revealing what needs healing.

Key Takeaways:

• Why unprocessed shame silently controls your decisions
• How to recognise when a “small thing” is actually a deep trigger
• A simple, powerful process to release emotional weight and move forward
• The mindset shift that frees you to lead, speak, and live boldly

This one’s for the woman who is done carrying what no longer belongs to her. It's time for release and to open yourself up to the new.
