  • The Confidence Within: How to Stay Grounded and Trust Yourself in the World
    Nov 27 2024

    Have you ever felt like life is pulling you in a million directions, leaving you disconnected from yourself? For many of us, especially as women, the demands of work, family, and society's expectations erode something essential: self-trust. It’s that inner knowing that helps us make decisions, set boundaries, and claim the life we deserve. Without it, we’re left doubting ourselves, apologising for our needs, and sacrificing our well-being.

    When we trust ourselves, we reclaim our time, energy, and purpose. We show up with clarity and confidence, not just for ourselves but for those we care about most. In this episode, motivational psychologist Meg Trucano and I explore why self-trust is so vital and how we can begin to rebuild it, one intentional step at a time.

    You can listen to the episode here or via itunes or spotify. Or you can find it on most other podcast platforms and apps.

  • Marketing, Motherhood, and Making It Work: Redefining Success as a Working Parent
    Oct 18 2024

    In this episode, I welcome Rachel Exton, a seasoned commercial leader and mum of two.

    Rachel shares her journey from marketing for powerhouse brands like Dyson and Unilever to her current role as Vice President of Global Marketing for Pearson's English Language Learning division.

    Together we discuss balancing a demanding career with family life, highlighting the importance of a strong support network.

    Rachel shares her career path and shifts towards purpose-driven work, including how a career "step back" unexpectedly propelled her forward. Rachel offers practical strategies for tackling challenges unique to working parents and emphasises the importance of self-care.

    We acknowledge that there's no perfect formula for work-life balance - it's about finding what works for you and your family.

    Rachel's advice is straightforward, if a career is truly what you want, don't give up. The early years are challenging, but it does get easier.
