Burnout isn’t a failure. It’s a signal.

In this episode, Ro is joined by Selina Barker, Career and Life Design Coach, author and creator of Time to Thrive, for an honest, grounding conversation about exhaustion, ambition and how women can thrive without burning out.

Selina shares her powerful energy-led approach to wellbeing, including the 5 energy zones, why managing energy matters more than managing time, and how small, realistic shifts can help women feel calmer, clearer and more alive without giving up their goals.

Selina has coached clients including Google, Apple and UN Women, is the author of Burnt Out: The Exhausted Person’s Guide to Thriving in a Fast-Paced World, creator of the Audible series The Career Change Coach, and founder of the Project You journals. Her work has been featured in the Telegraph, Sunday Times Style, Stylist, Grazia, BBC and more.

This episode is compassionate, practical and deeply relatable, especially for busy women navigating midlife, work and family.

Why do so many high-achieving women feel stuck, burnt out, or held back — even when they’re doing all the “right” things?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kerrie Leather, Success Coach and host of The Rip Up The Rule Book Show, to explore why true success isn’t created through hustle and mindset alone — but through the nervous system and the body.

Kerrie supports visionary entrepreneurs, founders, and creatives to rewrite success on their own terms using neuroscience, breathwork, and somatic practices. Together, we unpack:

• Why self-sabotage is often a survival response, not a flaw
• How the nervous system can limit or unlock success
• The link between burnout, midlife, and “pushing through”
• Why perimenopause can force a powerful redefinition of success
• How breathwork and somatic practices help you feel regulated, resourced, and confident

This conversation is especially powerful for midlife women who are tired of hustling, questioning old definitions of success, and ready for a more embodied, sustainable way of working and living.

✨ Free Resource:
Kerrie is offering her free Success Sessions — a suite of breathwork recordings and somatic practices designed to help you regulate your nervous system and step into aligned, embodied success.

If you’re ready to rip up the rulebook and create success that actually feels good, this episode is a must-listen.

This week, Ro is joined by Helly Metcalfe - mum of three, mindset coach, and founder of The Village Coach - for an honest conversation about why modern motherhood feels so overwhelming, and what we can do to change it.

Helly breaks down the identity shifts, invisible load, and “have it all” pressure so many mums silently carry, and shares how building your own Unconventional Village can transform your confidence, wellbeing, and daily life.

You’ll hear practical tools like her ABC Framework, how tiny micro-actions create big shifts, and why asking for help isn’t selfish — it’s essential.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re supposed to cope better than you are, this episode will make you feel seen, supported, and far less alone.

This week Ro is joined by Nicky Denson-Elliott - serial entrepreneur, founder of The Wilder Collective, and host of the Women’s Business podcast. Nicky is a powerful voice in modern feminism, known for exploring internalised misogyny and what she calls anti-female programming - the subtle conditioning that keeps women small, silent or stuck.

Together we discuss:

✨ What internalised misogyny looks like in everyday life
✨ How anti-female programming shapes our self-doubt
✨ Challenging sexist comments with confidence
✨ Raising sons and daughters through a feminist lens
✨ The “default parent” load and invisible emotional labour
✨ The transformative power of women-only spaces
✨ Nicky’s journey from anxiety to building a movement

If you’ve ever felt “not enough,” “too much,” or held back by invisible expectations, this conversation will open your eyes — and empower you to reclaim your voice, your confidence and your power.

In this grounded and empowering episode, Ro is joined by Emma Thomas - coach, trainer, facilitator, and host of the Middling Along podcast. Emma passionately believes no one navigating menopause should feel they need to step back, step down, or hide their symptoms.

Together, we explore the real experience of perimenopause, menopause and midlife - without fear, shame or overwhelm. Expect practical tools, compassionate guidance and honest conversation about confidence dips, “not feeling like myself,” lifestyle changes that genuinely help, advocating for yourself at work, and why midlife can be a powerful season of recalibration rather than shrinking.

If you’re navigating midlife, wondering if you’re in perimenopause, or supporting someone who is, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

This week, Ro is joined by Hilary Salzman - award-nominated author, keynote speaker and founder of The She Roars Club. In this powerful conversation, they dive deep into what it really means for women to find their voice and reclaim their roar not by shouting louder, but by showing up as our real, imperfect selves.

Hilary shares her journey from a high-flying corporate career and running a successful agency to walking away from it all to live, work and speak on her own terms. Together, Ro and Hilary explore why so many women lose their voice along the way and how reconnecting with our stories can become the most empowering thing we ever do.

From self-silencing to self-expression, from burnout to boldness, this episode is a reminder that your story matters and it might just be the thing that helps another woman find her courage too.

✨ Tune in if you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure how to share your truth and get ready to rediscover your roar.
