The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/10/07

I switched my phone off for an entire week. Not on silent. Not “I’ll just check it once a day”. Actually OFF. And it was fascinating. Because as brilliant as our phones are — and honestly, they make so many parts of life easier — we’ve also become incredibly dependent on them. In this episode, I’m sharing what I had to put in place to make a phone-free week actually work, what I noticed when I stopped automatically reaching for my phone, and the unexpected calm that came when all that outside...

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/10/01

I gave up anything sweet for a month… and, somehow, survived. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened during my Sweet-Free September — not just with sugar, but with cravings, habits and all those little moments where my brain decided I definitely needed something sweet. What surprised me most was how quickly it became less about the food and more about the habit. That after-dinner urge. Friday night treats. The automatic reach for something sweet without even thinking about whether I actua...

Ep #123 - I Climbed a Mountain. Was It Worth It?...

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/09/23

I Climbed a Mountain. Was It Worth It? Absolutely Not! 😂What started as a lovely little walk to a mountain lake turned into hours of climbing, aching joints, a fair bit of swearing and me seriously questioning my life choices! But somewhere between scrambling up boulders, reaching the summit and desperately wanting to get back down, I learnt five valuable lessons about life, setting goals and achieving the things we really want. In this week's episode, I'm sharing my mountain-climbing

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/09/15

This week I’m joined by fellow coach and licensed mental health counsellor Christi Gmyr for a brilliant conversation about burnout, motherhood and the ridiculous pressure so many working mums put on themselves to do everything — and do it all well. We talk about where those expectations come from, why the word “should” can create so much unnecessary pressure, and what happens when you start asking yourself a very simple question: What if I didn’t? What if the house wasn’t spotless? What if di...

Ep #121 - The Summer I Stopped ‘Shoulding’ Myself

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/09/09

After a gorgeous summer break, I’m back — and this episode is a bit of a catch-up on what the last few weeks have taught me. From having a completely phone-free week, to navigating the change that comes with teenage boys becoming more independent, to unexpectedly climbing a mountain I absolutely did not enjoy, there have been plenty of opportunities to watch my brain in action. I’m also sharing why I spent part of the summer working behind a bar and pot washing at weddings, what that brought ...

Ep #120 - Letting Go of the “Shoulds” and Trusting...

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/07/23

In this episode, I’m sharing honestly about the season I’m in right now — taking a break, stepping back from the pressure to have it all figured out, and listening to the part of me that knows something needs to change. For a while, I’ve felt like I’ve been pushing a boulder uphill. I kept telling myself what I “should” be doing, even when it no longer felt right. So this summer, I’m choosing to pause, go into my cocoon, and trust that clarity will come when I give it space. We’re talking abo...

2026/07/16

I absolutely LOVED this conversation. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend, psychologist, solo mum of three and creator of Hero Cards, Emmie Fulton, for a gorgeous conversation about intrusive thoughts, big feelings and the emotional tools our children need long before adulthood. And yes, we go there. We shared our intrusive thoughts (you have them too and they're normal btw). We felt uncomfortable. It was freeing. If you listen, it will be freeing for you too. Emmie shares ho...

Ep #118 - Stop Apologising for What You Know

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/07/07

Have you ever found yourself shrinking back, downplaying what you know, or apologising for your experience before you’ve even said the sentence? In this episode, I’m talking about how to start stepping into your authority — especially when you’re in a space where people might underestimate you, dismiss you, or see you as less experienced than you actually are. Because here’s the truth: you do not need to apologise for your wisdom. You do not need to make yourself smaller so other people feel ...

Ep #117 - Coming Off Mute with Dr Rita Renee

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/07/01

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Dr Rita Renee, speaker, author and voice strategist, whose work centres around helping women “come off mute” when trauma, fear or self-doubt has taught them to stay silent. Together, we explore how silence can become a survival strategy, especially for women who have learnt to people-please, avoid conflict, keep the peace or make everyone else comfortable while abandoning themselves in the process. Dr Rita shares her own experience of childhood tra...

Ep #117 - Hot, Sweaty, and Still in Control

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/06/25

When it’s 31 degrees in your kitchen and your thighs are sticking together, it can feel very easy to lose your shit. But here’s the thing: you can’t control the weather. You can’t control the temperature, the sweat, the stickiness, or the fact that the UK is absolutely not built for this kind of heat. What you can control is the extra drama your brain wants to throw on top. In this episode, I’m talking about how to separate the facts from the emotional heat we add on top, why fighting reality...

Ep #115 - Hating Your Body Won’t Help You Look After It

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/06/17

How often do you look at your body and immediately notice what’s “wrong” with it? The size, the shape, the ageing, the aches, the bits you wish were different… In this episode, I’m talking about the way we think about our physical bodies — and why hating, criticising or constantly picking yourself apart is never going to help you feel better, take care of yourself, or create lasting change. This isn’t about pretending you love every single inch of your body. That’s not always realistic, and h...

Ep #114 - Teens, Apps & Disobedience

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/06/10

In this episode, I'm sharing something that happened a few weekends ago with my Teenagers & some Apps that we had said they weren't allowed. It's recorded via my phone whilst I was in the car, so the sound quality isn't brilliant and I don't have the transcript or video for this episode, but I really hope this story helps you & your teenagers. Ride along with me & learn some skills around controlling yourself, parenting from love rather than frustration and how to have an ef...

Ep #113 - When Shame Made Me Hide

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/06/02

In this episode, I’m sharing something a bit more personal. After avoiding recording the podcast for a couple of weeks, I got curious about what was really going on underneath it. And what I found was shame. Shame around not being where I think I “should” be. Shame around money. Shame around consistency. Shame around that horrible little voice that says, “Who the fuck are you to be doing this?” But here’s the thing — shame makes us hide. It keeps us quiet. It stops us showing up. And if we’re...

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/05/07

During exam season, it’s so easy as a parent to slip into panic, pressure and control — especially when your teenager doesn’t seem to be revising enough, sleeping enough, eating properly, or taking it all as seriously as you think they should. But here’s the loving truth: you are not the one sitting the exam. In this episode, I’m talking about how to support your teenager through GCSEs or exam season without making their results mean something about you, your parenting, or their future. We’ll...

Ep #111 - Do It Nervous

The Working Womens Podcast ·

2026/05/04

Do you ever avoid doing something because you feel nervous, awkward or uncomfortable? Maybe it’s going somewhere on your own, asking for a refund, saying no, having a difficult conversation, or putting yourself in a situation where you might feel exposed. In this episode, I’m talking about why nervousness isn’t actually the problem — and why trying to get rid of it can sometimes make it feel even worse. I share a real-life example of going to the theatre on my own, how I prepared for the awkw...

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Kooch Daniels for a fascinating conversation about intuition, chakras and psychic wisdom. We talk about what it really means to live as an intuitive person, how psychic ability can be developed, and why balancing intuition with logic matters so much. Kooch shares her wisdom on spiritual growth, oracle cards, energy, grounding yourself, and learning to trust what you already know deep down. This is such a beautiful conversation about opening yourself up to...

Content note: this episode contains conversation about grief, terminal illness, death, loss and the emotional impact of bereavement. In this deeply honest and moving conversation, I’m joined by Emma Gray to talk about what grief really looks like when your world has been turned upside down. Emma shares her experience of losing her husband, the shock of living through grief even when she thought she was prepared for it, and what the last 10 years have taught her about rebuilding life after los...

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Jo Weatherall for a really honest, reassuring conversation about the particular chaos of navigating perimenopause whilst raising teenagers — when, quite frankly, everyone’s hormones can feel all over the place. Together, we talk about why this stage of life can feel so intense, how Jo’s own journey led her from self-defence and confidence work into supporting women through menopause, and the small but powerful things that can help you feel more gro...

2026/04/01

In this episode, I’m joined by Maria Newman for a really honest conversation about identity, confidence, and what happens when the world teaches you to tone yourself down. We talk about the pressure so many women feel to be less of themselves in order to fit in, be accepted, or be taken seriously — especially at work. Maria shares her own experience of being told she was “too much” in corporate, how that shaped the way she showed up, and why she now believes you should never apologise for who...

In this episode, I’m joined by crystal healing therapist Susan McCann for a fascinating conversation about crystals, energy, communication and the messages our bodies might be trying to give us. We dive into what it means when energy feels stuck — especially around the throat chakra — and explore the link between speaking up, self-expression and healing. Susan shares how her own spiritual awakening led her into crystal healing, how she began working with crystals for herself before supp...
