  • Why willpower alone isn't enough
    Jan 21 2026

    On today's episode I talk about why willpower alone isn't enough and for us to make sustained change... we need to speak to ourselves differently!

    I explain how we can keep on track and the importance of reviewing our goals as sometimes they are no longer in alignment with where we want to go.

    This episode is for the woman who has set goals for 2026 and for those who feel like the momentum is slowing down.

  • External validation & self worth. Is it wrong to want praise?
    Jan 14 2026

    Hands up if you secretly love being praised… 🙋‍♀️
    In this episode, I unpack why wanting validation isn’t a flaw, it’s biology. Humans are wired for connection, safety and belonging, and praise can feel regulating to the nervous system.

    We explore the key difference between enjoying praise and needing it, through a nervous system lens. When does validation become a bonus… and when does it turn into the source of your self worth?

    You’ll learn:

    • Why praise can create a sense of safety in the body
    • The signs of a healthy vs unhealthy relationship with validation
    • How people pleasing, overworking and performing link back to approval
    • How to build internal safety so praise is a bonus not a requirement

    Reflective questions woven throughout, including:

    • “Who are you when no one is clapping?”
    • “What does your body believe would happen if praise disappeared?”

    You don’t need to stop enjoying validation, you just don’t need to rely on it.

    🎧 A nervous-system-led conversation about worth, safety, and building safety within yourself.

  • 'Becoming Her' meditation
    Jan 12 2026

    This beautiful activation allows you to meet your future self.

    Our minds have no concept of time so when spending moments visualising your future self, it believes you are her now.

    It creates new neural pathways, retrains the nervous system and subconscious mind.

    Listen once a day and really connect into the feelings of who you want to be and with aligned action, you will become her.
