If you’re collapsing into bed exhausted but your brain’s still running at 100mph, this conversation is for you.

I’m joined by sleep coach and yoga teacher Trix Eastwood (aka The Sleep Yogi) to talk about why so many high-functioning women struggle to fall (and stay) asleep, even when they’re shattered.

We dig into:

• Why your “wind-down” habits might actually be keeping you alert
• The role of light, caffeine, and alcohol in sleep quality
• How to create an evening that helps you land softly instead of crash
• Simple, no-pressure strategies to calm your mind and signal “sleep” to your body

Whether you’re up at 3am replaying the day, scrolling in bed to get some “me time,” or just desperate to wake up feeling rested, this episode will give you realistic, non-perfect, actually doable ways to get there.

Listen in, and if you know a friend who’s tired of being tired, send this to her.

If you’ve ever…

• Eaten half a packet of biscuits before realising you’d started
• Said yes to helping someone when you didn’t have the time or energy
• Stayed up scrolling when you were desperate for sleep

…then you’ve experienced what I call “over” behaviours.

In this episode, we talk about the habits that feel like too much - overeating, overgiving, overthinking, overscheduling, overdoing - and why they’re so hard to stop, even when you want to.

I’ll share real examples from my clients and my own life, explain the link between stress and these habits, and show you how to spot the need underneath the behaviour.

You’ll learn:

• Why these patterns show up when life feels overwhelming
• How your nervous system drives these habits
• Simple ways to start responding differently, without relying on willpower

In this honest conversation, I chatted with former BBB client Emily, a high-achieving mum, dog trainer, and business owner, about what it really takes to change your relationship with food, your body, and yourself.

Emily shares how she went from juggling a demanding corporate job and family life to building a career on her own terms, and finally feeling calm and confident in her skin (even at the heaviest weight she’s ever been).

You’ll hear about:

• The hidden toll of living in survival mode
• How PMDD and cycle shifts impacted her mental health and eating habits
• The internal tug-of-war between food freedom and wanting to lose weight
• Why self-compassion, not more discipline, became the game changer
• What changed when she finally let go of old food rules and people-pleasing
• How she’s parenting differently because of the work she’s done on herself

This episode is a must-listen if you’re tired of starting over, stuck in all-or-nothing cycles, or silently wondering if it’s just you who can’t ‘stick to the plan.’

Spoiler: It’s not just you. And there’s a better way.

If this conversation resonates, send it to a friend, or DM me the words “Happy Me List” on Instagram and I'll share the tool that helped Emily begin this journey.

You’re capable. You’re organised. You’re the one everyone relies on.

And yet, when the house finally goes quiet and the kids are in bed, you feel like you’re quietly fraying - your body tense, your brain still spinning, your chest tight with everything you haven’t even processed yet.

This episode is for the high-functioning woman who’s “holding it all together”… but feels like she might fall apart if she stops.

Inside, I’ll break down:

• Why functioning well doesn’t mean you’re feeling well
• The invisible cost of living in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn
• How nervous system overload hides behind capability
• Why stillness can feel unsafe - even when you crave it
• The difference between structure that supports you vs. structure that just props you up

Because this isn’t about motivation or discipline. It’s about capacity - your internal resources, not just your output.

We’ll also explore the uncomfortable but important question:

👉 “What if the goal wasn’t just to function well… but to feel well?”

If your evenings are filled with to-do lists instead of rest, if you’re doing everything “right” but still feel off, this is your invitation to pause, get honest, and build a different kind of support.

You’re spinning so many plates that people assume you’ve got it all together - but inside, you’re stretched thin, wired but tired, and quietly wondering how much longer you can keep this up.

In this episode, we’re unpacking what’s really going on beneath the surface for high-functioning mums who feel like they’re always in go-mode. If you’ve been blaming yourself for feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or disconnected, this isn’t a pep talk to just “try harder.” It’s a breath of relief - and a new way forward.

We’ll talk about:

• Why your stress isn’t a personal flaw - it’s a nervous system calling out for support
• The shift from surviving the day to actually feeling present and proud of how you’re showing up
• A real-life client moment that shows what happens when we stop performing calm and start living it
• What’s possible when you build wellbeing that fits your life, not fights against it

If you’ve ever thought “I should be able to manage this,” this episode will help you understand why willpower isn’t the issue - and what to do instead.

You don’t need a new plan.

You need space to feel like yourself again.

Pelvic pain, diastasis, leaking when you sneeze, feeling disconnected from your body - so many mums are navigating these things in silence, not knowing support even exists.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by women’s health physiotherapist Chloe Stevens, who brings 15+ years of expertise to what really happens to our bodies after birth.

We talk about:

• The truth about postpartum recovery (no, it’s not just “do your Kegels”)

• Why symptoms like pain, incontinence or prolapse are common - but not normal

• How a Mummy MOT works, and why more mums should know about it

• What can help if you feel disconnected from your body after birth or C-section

• How to advocate for your needs, even if your GP doesn’t fully understand postpartum care

Whether you’re newly postpartum or your babies are grown, this episode is a must-listen reminder: you don’t have to just “put up with it.” You’re not broken, and you deserve individualised support.

Tune in - and please pass this one on to a mum who needs it.

You’re juggling a lot - and still, that voice creeps in:

“If I were doing it properly, it wouldn’t feel this hard.”

In this episode, we explore one of the most deeply held beliefs among high-functioning mums:

“If I’m not doing everything perfectly, I’m failing - as a mum, as a leader, as a woman.”

But what if the opposite is true?

We’ll unpack why perfectionism isn’t a personality trait - it’s a nervous system response.

Why consistency doesn’t come from pressure - it comes from capacity.

And why the most powerful shift you can make isn’t doing more - but giving yourself permission to do things differently.

You’ll hear real-life examples, compassionate reframes, and one simple invitation that could change everything.

Because maybe the goal isn’t to stay “on top of it all.”

Maybe it’s to feel like you again.

“If I just ate better… toned up… lost the weight… then I’d finally feel calm.”

Sound familiar?

In this episode, we unpack the pressure so many high-achieving women carry - the belief that fixing your body will fix your life. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still don’t feel grounded, this conversation will land deeply.

You’ll hear:

• Why your body has been wrongly blamed for stress, shame, and overwhelm
• A personal or client story that reveals the hidden cost of chasing ‘better’
• The truth about what actually creates lasting peace, confidence, and presence
• 3 powerful shifts you can try this week to meet yourself with more compassion and calm

It’s not your body that’s broken - it’s the pressure that’s been placed on it.
