Coming Off Mounjaro

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2026/03/31

Send us Fan Mail The moment the scales stall, it’s so easy to assume you’ve “broken” your weight loss journey. I’m not interested in that story anymore, so I’m sharing what actually happened for me: losing weight on Mounjaro, protecting muscle with strength training, hitting a plateau, and then watching old cravings and self-sabotage patterns try to sneak back in when life got busy. I talk through why I chose to stop increasing my dose, how I decided to come off Mounjaro, and what it’s like ...

I’m Closing The Door On The Modern LeadHer Way For Good

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2026/03/26

Send us Fan Mail What if the thing you’ve been chasing isn’t another strategy, another plan, or another version of you that looks “more successful” from the outside? I’m Emma Clayton, and I’m opening a new chapter of Real Talk by drawing a clear line in the sand and letting go of The Modern LeadHer Way with love. It’s a short, honest reintroduction to where we’re heading next and why releasing an old identity can be the most powerful leadership move you make. I share what’s been crumbling be...

The Survival Mindset That Blocks Your Next Level

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2026/03/17

Send a text Your mind can sound like a bully when you are trying to grow, but what if it is just doing its job a little too well? I’m sharing a truth that instantly changes how you read your anxiety, your hesitation, and that constant background self-talk: your brain is wired for survival, not for success. Once you see that, you stop making fear mean “I can’t” and start treating it like a safety signal you can work with. I walk you through what survival wiring looks like in everyday life, fr...

Behind The Scenes Of A Business Reset

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2026/03/05

Send a text Tired of chasing algorithms and pretending consistency feels good when it doesn’t? We open the door to the real journey - how a former head of strategy and operations walked away from the grey, found clarity on retreat, and built a business that blends coaching, consulting, and high‑integrity execution. Along the way we unpack the pivots that didn’t stick, the experiments that clarified the message, and the thread that never changed: helping ambitious women create success that act...

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2026/02/26

Send a text Miss the sound of something real in your feed? We’re back, shaking off the silence and naming what many of us feel: the internet got louder, but not truer. I share why I hit pause, what cracked open during a long winter, and how I’m rebuilding my work around what actually helps - clarity, integrity, and small decisions that stack into big change. First, we call out the sameness of AI‑polished takes and the pressure to perform. I’m not anti‑tool; I’m pro‑voice. Authentic leadershi...

[119] A Purposeful Pause

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2025/12/18

Send us a text The quiet stretch wasn’t a fade-out. It was a recalibration toward a way of working that respects energy, honours values, and still delivers results you can measure. I’m opening the door on that shift and inviting you to build with me: a humane approach to strategy where we choose channels, cadences, and offers that fit real lives, not imaginary playbooks. You’ll hear why I’m moving deeper into consulting with visionary women and corporate rebels who want change without burnou...

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

2025/11/13

Send us a text Menopause shouldn’t feel like a maze with a tabloid at every turn. We bring on menopause and HRT specialist Jane Pangbourne to cut through the noise, unpack the science, and give you a simple path to relief you can take to your GP with confidence. Jane shares how the 2002 WHI study distorted public understanding, why transdermal oestrogen doesn’t increase clot risk, and where the real nuance lies with synthetic progestins versus micronised progesterone. We talk timing too: how ...

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...

[116] Money, Structure, And The Realities Of Going Solo

Real Talk with Emma Clayton ·

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...

Send us a text In part 2 of this conversation we unpack the subtle ways high-achieving women slip from care into over-responsibility, how identity fuses to a job title, and why the path back to balance rarely requires burning your career to the ground. 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...

Send us a text What happens when the title you’ve worked years to earn arrives exactly as your life falls apart? 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 Strategy shouldn’t feel like a cold spreadsheet. When Julie Williams sits down with a business, she brings the steady mind of an outsourced CFO and the heart of a partner who cares about people, profit, and the culture that binds them. We dig into how to diagnose the real problem behind the noise, use simple cash and capacity controls to avoid “uncontrolled growth,” and deliver hard messages with diplomacy so leaders can act without panic or shame. Our conversation travels fro...

When I stepped into Suzy Ashworth's Infinite Receiving Live event solo this September, I decided to embody my next-level self - red lipstick, heels, and all. The transformation was immediate and powerful. Over three intensive days with ambitious entrepreneurs, I discovered how our physical presence directly influences our ability to receive abundance. That slouched, small posture we default to? It's keeping us from the co...

2025/09/11

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,...

In this deeply personal episode, I pull back the curtain on what my journey with GLP-1 medications has to do with business, and the conversations they've sparked about shame, health, and authentic leadership. After years of studying nutritional therapy and mind-body eating psychology, I know sustainable change isn't abo...
