Angela Counsel – Permission To Not Know | Ep. 84 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you’re successful on paper but exhausted in your bones, the instinct is to optimise harder. Angela Counsel built that empire. Embrace Menopause was thriving, with hundreds of women getting results. So she walked away from it all. Not because it failed, but because she realised the real crisis wasn’t perimenopause. It was that women had stopped trusting themselves. This conversation moves past the symptom-fixing into something deeper: What happens when the answer you built stops being enough
The Roads Less Travelled with Catherine DeVrye | Ep. 83 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She's been to 150 countries. Published ten bestselling books. Built a global platform most people dream of. And learned that none of it was the answer. Catherine DeVrye has spent two decades helping organisations and leaders turn obstacles into opportunities. But somewhere on those roads less travelled, she realised the real obstacle was internal. Today, she's here to talk about hope that's earned, resilience that sticks, and why the woman who has built a career, a life, everything, only to find

Read excerpt

But because something inside

Ann Wax RN has spent fifty years at the bedsides of people facing cancer, and what she's learned isn't just about illness. It's about what matters when we stop performing and start telling the truth. As an oncology nurse, Oncology Doula™, and author of the upcoming Be Your Own Lifeguard, Ann shares what her patients have taught her about resilience, self-worth, and
Rogue Wisdom: What's Really Behind Burnout | Ep. 80 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
She wakes at 2am, not from a deadline, not just the hot flush. She wakes because a question has surfaced she's been outrunning for years: whose life is this? Naturopath Jennifer Jefferies has spent nearly four decades working with burned out women, starting with her own burnout in her twenties. In this episode, Jen unpacks why burnout and identity exhaustion get confused, why sleep and supplements can't fix a life that no longer fits, and why the loss of self so many women report in midlife is n
