2025/10/30

Send us a text The ladder felt clear, the gold stars kept coming, and the performance reviews said it all - until the applause stopped. Emma shares what happens when a 20-year corporate career powered by “good girl” conditioning collides with the realities of entrepreneurship, where truth beats polish and leadership comes from grounded presence, not perfection. This is a candid look at identity shifts many women face when leaving corporate: losing external validation, navigating sneaky people...

2025/10/24

Send us a text Ever wondered what really happens after you trade a steady salary for your own name on the invoice? We go beyond the highlight reel to unpack the two biggest shifts most people underestimate: money and time. I share what it felt like to move from guaranteed paydays to a “bills day,” how my spending habits evolved from store cards to five-figure coaching investments, and why redefining “enough” changed everything about how I build and scale. We talk break-even math, overhead cre...

Tracy returns to distil the hardest-won lessons from her 2016 crash in London and the calm, steady rebuild that followed - less martyrdom, more boundaries, and a relationship with rest that feels like strength, not guilt. We talk through pract...

We sit down with Tracy Cunningham to trace a brutally honest arc: years of high performance, a long-distance move to London, global projects that fed her ambition, and the “yes” to a head of global underwriting role that looked like validation - but came bundled with three people’s workloads and a private tidal wave at home. As her father’s illness turned terminal, late-night calls...

Send us a text Ever wondered what's really happening behind the scenes with GLP-1 medications? After surveying 35 users of Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic, I'm pulling back the curtain on what people are experiencing - and what they're not telling you openly. The results were eye-opening but perhaps unsurprising. Most users were women in their 40s and 50s grappling with perimenopausal weight gain or health concerns that traditional methods hadn't helped. While weight loss was the primary goal,...
