    Who the F❤ck Am I? (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Who are you when you’re not being the good girl, keeping everyone happy, holding everything together or being who other people need you to be? It’s a bloody difficult question, especially when you’ve spent years defining yourself through your roles, responsibilities and relationships. In this episode, I talk about the uncomfortable identity wobble that often comes with midlife. That moment when the old version of you no longer fits, but you haven’t quite worked out who you’re becoming. Maybe you

    Read excerpt

    Have you ever heard yourself saying yes when you wanted to say no, apologising when you’ve done nothing wrong, or insisting, “I’m fine, I’ve got it,” when you’re anything but fine? In this episode, Jacqui explores how the ways we learn to keep the peace, earn approval, stay safe or feel accepted can slowly become part of who we think we are. She introduces the six learnt identities within The Unstoppable Codex: the Good Girl, the People-Pleasing Woman, the Invisible Woman, the Wounded Woman, the

    Read excerpt

    What happens when you decide "if everyone else can do it, so can I"? In this episode, I'm joined by Katherine, writer, songwriter, and mum of two based in Chester, who's built not one, but two businesses. One started when her cat Tiggy took up residence at Chester train station and unexpectedly became a local (and now online) phenomenon. The other is Skill Seeds, a five-minute microlearning app Katherine built from scratch with zero app-building experience, designed to be ad-free, safe, and genu

    Bold, Brave, Brilliant: Believing It Forward (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Invited to a future-CEO programme at Oxford, she spent the whole train journey convinced she didn’t belong and the whole week nearly going home. What stopped her was realising the only thing holding her there was herself. Louise is the author of Bold, Brave, Brilliant, and she’s here to argue that imposter syndrome isn’t something to fix. It’s not a disorder. It’s energy and it’s proof you care. We talk about why self-doubt gets louder the higher you climb, why leaders won’t say it out loud, and
