Hi everyone

I wanted to take a moment today to share something with you directly. She Has The Audacity has had such an incredible year — the conversations, the connection, the depth we've explored together… it truly means more to me than I can say.

And as someone who believes deeply in intentional leadership — in aligning how we work with how we want to live — I'm practicing what I teach.

So, I'm pressing pause for a short while.

Not because anything is ending but because we are in the process of building and growing. There are some exciting shifts happening behind the scenes — new voices to bring in, new conversations to explore, new ways to support you as you design what's next in your life and leadership.

This break is a moment to reflect, refine, and build something even more aligned with the mission of this show: To create a space where women can tell the truth, lead with purpose, and choose what feels real — not just what looks impressive.

I'll be back with fresh episodes in the new year. In the meantime, if you're new here or catching up, this is a perfect moment to revisit past conversations that resonated — or discover the ones you haven't heard yet.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for giving me the space to grow and the support. Thank you for listening, reflecting, and showing up for these deeper conversations — for supporting our community and for supporting yourselves.

I can't wait to share what's coming next.

Rest isn't a luxury to earn, it's a biological need that tells the truth about how we're living.

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Dr. Leigha Saunders, naturopathic doctor, sleep expert, and founder of The Sleep Fix, for a conversation about what our sleep is really trying to tell us.

Through her own postpartum experience and years of clinical practice, Leigha has seen how exhaustion isn't a sign of weakness, but information, a reflection of nervous system overload, hormone shifts, and the invisible weight of responsibility women carry. Her work reframes rest as a form of self-leadership: the foundation for clarity, health, and purpose.

Together, we explore how to rebuild a relationship with rest in every season of life, from PMS to postpartum to perimenopause, and what changes when we start treating sleep as a signal, not a symptom.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ Why sleep is a mirror for the nervous system — and a vital sign of wellbeing ✨ How hormonal transitions shape our rhythms, energy, and emotional capacity ✨ The mental load's role in restlessness, anxiety, and 3 a.m. wake-ups ✨ Why sleep "hacks" and supplements only go so far without alignment ✨ How self-trust, boundaries, and nourishment restore deep rest ✨ Practical tools for understanding — and honouring — your body's cues

This is a conversation about coming home to your body. About redefining productivity as presence, and remembering that rest isn't what you step away from — it's what allows you to return to yourself.

What if meaningful healing isn't about fixing what's "wrong," but about understanding the full human experience behind pain?

In this episode of She Has The Audacity, I sit down with Carolyn Vandyken—physiotherapist, educator, speaker, and co-owner of Reframe Rehab—for a conversation that reimagines how we approach pain, healing, and healthcare.

Carolyn has been a leader in advancing the biopsychosocial model of care, bringing together the physical, emotional, and social realities that shape our well-being. Through her own evolution as a clinician, she has learned that treating the body alone is not enough — and that empowering the nervous system, behavior change, and self-trust are essential to lasting recovery.

Together, we explore why physiotherapy and healthcare must move beyond "fixing," how language can either take away or restore hope, and why curiosity may be the most powerful clinical tool we have.

Here's what you'll take away from this episode: ✨ What the biopsychosocial model actually looks like in practice ✨ How understanding the nervous system shifts outcomes for patients in pain ✨ Why hope, communication, and compassion are clinical interventions ✨ How pelvic health, musculoskeletal care, and pain science are deeply connected ✨ The mindset shift from treating tissues → facilitating transformation ✨ Why slowing down and trusting curiosity makes us better clinicians and humans

This conversation is an invitation to see care differently — not as doing something to someone, but as creating the conditions that allow them to heal.
