The last time you truly listened to your body might have been longer ago than you realize, just you and that quiet, steady wisdom humming beneath the surface.

It’s still there, whispering. Waiting for you to slow down and come close enough to hear it again.

In this week’s episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with the luminous Gemma Rose, a breathwork facilitator, coach, and spiritual entrepreneur who’s helping sensitive, multi-passionate humans reconnect with themselves and build lives that feel safe, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.

I first met Gemma a few years ago, and I’ve watched her journey from a high-performing startup founder to a grounded, embodied leader who truly walks her talk. She’s gone from burnout and hustle to building a thriving business rooted in softness, safety, and self-trust.

In our conversation, Gemma opens up about how her Saturn return, divorce, and the birth of her son all became catalysts for transformation and how breathwork became the anchor that helped her come back home to herself when everything else fell away.

If you’ve ever felt like the tools that used to work for you just don’t anymore, or you’re craving a gentler, more authentic way to live and lead, this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.

What You'll Learn:

• Why Gemma had to completely abandon the intellectual, top-down strategies that created success in her 20s to become the present mum she wanted to be
• How breathwork helped her rebuild her identity and reconnect with her intuition
• Why she intentionally stress-tests her own beliefs and philosophies (including using AI to challenge her thinking)
• How building the right team, intuitively and strategically, has allowed her business to grow while she works less
• How she structures her week to protect her energy, including one full day dedicated entirely to pleasure and burnout prevention

You know I talk about longevity all the time, right?

It's something I'm genuinely working toward every single day, being healthy and vibrant well into my later years. And I credit a lot of my thinking around this to reading books and watching documentaries that completely changed my perspective on aging.

So the other day, I was scrolling Instagram (as you do) and came across this wild ChatGPT prompt about living to 140. When AI analyzed centenarian populations in Blue Zones — regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Costa Rica — it didn't point to Mediterranean diets or daily walks as the key factor.

The surprising answer? Managing chronic stress matters more than anything else for longevity.

In this episode, I'm diving into seven principles that came from this analysis, and honestly, they resonated so deeply with how I already try to live. These aren't abstract concepts for decades from now, they're shifts you can make today that actually matter.

Because one line really hit me hard: so many people wait their whole lives to truly live, and by the time they give themselves permission, their body has already paid the price.

What You'll Learn:

• Why chronic stress (not diet or genetics) is the biggest threat to longevity and how to identify hidden stressors in your life
• Why living out of alignment with your true self keeps your body in constant survival mode
• The power of social connection and why loneliness is as dangerous as smoking 15 cigarettes a day
• How to find your "ikigai"— your reason for getting up each morning that can add 7 years to your lifespan
• How to stop postponing joy until “retirement” and start living now

These aren't just lessons. They're invitations for you to stop waiting for permission and start leading your life like the CEO you were born to be.

I'm about to call out a pattern you've been living your entire life, one that's kept you safe, earned you praise, and slowly stolen your dreams.

You're the one everyone calls. The one who remembers the birthdays, manages the family calendar, organizes the holidays, handles the details, fixes the problems, keeps the peace. You're reliable, dependable, the glue that holds everything together.

And on paper, that sounds amazing, right?

Except here's what nobody tells you about being the responsible one: It's killing your dreams. Slowly, quietly, without you even realizing it's happening.

In this raw, honest episode, I'm naming something you've been living with your entire life but have never had the words for. And more importantly, I'm showing you exactly how to break free from it.

By the end, you'll understand why your dreams feel inconvenient, why you can't take real risks, and you'll walk away with the clarity and tools to reclaim your time, energy, and identity, without blowing up your life or abandoning the people you love.

What You'll Learn:

• What “the mental load” really is — and why it’s burning out millions of women worldwide
• The Good Girl Syndrome: how people-pleasing and perfectionism become survival strategies
• Why your business never seems to grow (and what running on leftovers really costs you)
• 5 steps to stop being responsible to everyone else and start being responsible for your own life
• How to set boundaries, protect your time, and build your business like it actually matters

Have you ever looked at your business revenue and thought, "Where the hell did all that money go?"

Maybe you hit six figures this year, or you're well beyond that. But when you look at your bank account, it doesn't feel like a six-figure business. The money came in, but it also went out, and you're left wondering if you're doing something terribly wrong.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re probably not doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs never talk about: the five hidden places your profit is quietly disappearing.

By the end, you'll know exactly where your money is going, how to plug those leaks, and how to finally start keeping more of what you earn.

We’re not just talking about your business finances, we are actually focusing on you becoming the CEO of your entire life.

What You'll Learn:

• Why the average small business only keeps 7-10% profit (and what that means for your business income)
• The digital subscription monster: how $1-3K/month disappears in tools you barely use
• Why you need to set aside a much bigger percentage of of every dollar you earn for taxes (and how to do it without the stress)
• What lifestyle creep is and why it's keeping you trapped on the hamster wheel
• How the blurry line between business and personal expenses is robbing your cash flow
• When investing in growth becomes a gamble instead of a strategic move

There’s no doubt we all love a big juicy goal setting session at the start of the year, one which wraps up all our hopes and dreams over the next 12 months.

You write them down with the best intentions, feel motivated for a few weeks to go after them, then realise it’s already the end of the month and you’ve done nothing about them?

You’re not alone. Research shows most people give up on their goals by day 23.

But here’s the good news: 90 days is the sweet spot. It’s long enough to create real momentum, but short enough for your brain to actually stay motivated and focused.

90-day sprints work so powerfully, and I go deep into why combining goals with intentions is the unfair advantage most people miss in this episode of the LifePilot Podcast.

This isn’t about hustling harder, it’s about aligning with brain science, building habits that stick, and creating real progress quarter by quarter.

Whether you're all energised and excited to have an amazing final quarter in 2025 or listening to this later, this framework will help you finally turn your big dreams into consistent action.

• Why your brain struggles with year-long planning (and the science behind the 90-day "Goldilocks Zone")
• How the Fresh Start Effect + Parkinson’s Law make deadlines work in your favor
• Why we underestimate what’s possible in 90 days (but overestimate daily output)
• The difference between goals (the “what”) and intentions (the “who + why”)
• How to use if–then planning to create automatic momentum instead of relying on willpower
• A practical 90-day framework to help you set, track, and actually achieve your top 3 priorities

Do you ever feel like you’ve got all the knowledge, tools, and resources at your fingertips — yet you’re still stuck, not taking action?

We live in an age where AI can write your business plan, design your logo, draft your copy, and even map out your marketing strategy in minutes. But here’s the paradox: entrepreneurs now have endless ideas and zero clarity on what to actually do next.

The truth is, knowledge isn’t your problem anymore. Action is.

In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I’m unpacking the real reason so many entrepreneurs stall and how to break free from information overload by focusing on the one thing AI can’t replicate: you. Your unique skills, lived experiences, and personality are your unfair advantage. That’s where the money is, and that’s how you start building a business that truly pays you to be you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why we've shifted from "I don't know how" to "I know 50 ways how" (and why that's paralyzing us)
• The real difference between the entrepreneur with 47 courses and zero revenue versus the one making six figures with one offer
• How to stop asking "how do I" and start asking "who can help me do this"
• Why your competitors aren't out-learning you - they're out-implementing you
• How I built The Suitcase Entrepreneur using my unique skillset (and how you can do the same)

Do you ever feel like your energy is all over the place, your brain has gone offline, or you’re suddenly more irritable than usual? You’re doing your best to juggle work, family, and life… but something just feels off?

I only recently realized I’ve likely been in perimenopause for two years, and connecting the dots was a total game-changer. Some days I’m on fire, focused, and energized; other days, brain fog and fatigue make even simple tasks feel impossible.

Navigating this transition while running a business and life has meant rethinking priorities, giving myself grace, and learning to show up differently. It’s not just about getting through the day, it’s about understanding what your body and mind need so you can actually thrive.

Whether you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or somewhere in between — this episode shares what I’ve learned, the shifts that help, and how to start showing up as the CEO of your energy, health, and life.

What You’ll Learn:

• The real symptoms of perimenopause (there are up to 100!) and why they're often misattributed to other causes
• How perimenopause affects your business performance, decision-making, and energy levels (and what to do about it)
• Practical strategies for restructuring your business to accommodate energy fluctuations
• Why perimenopause is a team sport and how to bring your partner and family on this journey with you
• Why this transition can actually be your entry into a powerful new phase of life
• The importance of normalizing perimenopause conversations in entrepreneurial spaces
