About this listen

After a delicious summer with my boys, I’m back — rested, grounded, and calling absolute BS on the hustle-as-a-badge-of-honour. In this episode I share three lessons from slowing down:


• Rest isn’t a treat; it’s essential if you want to be present and powerful.
• Self-kindness creates safety — the antidote to your brain’s doom spiral.
• When cortisol drops, wisdom rises — and the ideas start flowing.


I’m also renaming the show to The Working Woman’s Podcast and moving release day to Thursdays. This space is for all women who love their work and their family, and want more calm, clarity and confidence without dropping any of the balls that matter. Doors are open again for coaching — details in the show notes.

Key takeaways
  • Rest is a requirement, not a reward.
  • The quality of a relationship mirrors the quality of your thoughts about that person.
  • Put your hand on your heart, breathe, and tell your nervous system: “I’m safe.”
  • Lower stress → higher access to judgement, creativity and patience.
  • Five minutes of daily “micro-rest” counts. Celebrate it.
