About this listen

Lucy and Karen, two 40-somethings, are always chatting about life, and all that it has to throw at them, and now want to share their raw, honest conversations with you. Their journey of finding their own voices, self-discovery and healing is something many of us can relate to. We all possess a unique power within us, but life’s trials often knock us off course. They have the tools, the courage to speak up and simply say it as it is, so you might feel seen, and understood and gain practical tools and techniques for self-discovery and personal growth during the changes we experience.

  • When Women Unite, Systems Shift
    Nov 7 2025

    Send us a text

    We trace how women’s voices move from personal healing to public change, from Parliament hallways to policy, art, and activism. Menopause screening gains, consent clarity, and centring women’s stories show how asking hard questions shifts systems.

    We talk about BBC Riot Women, Lily Allen, and Virginia Guiffre. Womens voices that are making a difference.


    • Visiting parliament for menopause awareness and what institutions feel like
    • The suffragette cupboard story as strategic protest
    • Culture and healing through music and TV that tell women’s truths
    • Consent, drugging, and why a clear verbal yes matters
    • The cost of harm and the need to centre women not gossip
    • Asking difficult questions to power and accepting discomfort
    • Moving from wounds to wisdom and everyday leadership
    • Unity over silos and backing women to be heard

    Join us on 21st November for “Closing the Gender Leadership Gap — Strategies that we can all turn into action.” For two hours, we share wisdom, tackle bias and the authority gap, and plan real steps you can take. We would love you to join.


    Webinar : Empowering Women Leaders. 5 strategies to close the gender gap. Join us.

  • From Witch Wounds To Wise Women: Unmasking Power
    Oct 31 2025

    Send us a text

    We explore the Halloween or Samhain idea of masking up and when to take of the cloak of protection, embrace the dark parts of ourselves, and let go of what no longer serves us. We share stories, rituals, and an on-air EFT practice to help us move from masking up to embodied power.


    We cover...

    • masks we wear to stay safe and small
    • inner child roles that shape visibility
    • the witch wound as a cultural ghost role
    • reclaiming ritual, circles, and seasonality
    • the mask exercise for outer and inner truths
    • shadow work to integrate rage, grief, and joy
    • beyond mindset: deeper unlearning and choice
    • EFT tapping to ground power before hard moments
    • community, belonging, and wise women leadership

  • Rochelle Trow: What If Success Means Loving The Girl In The Mirror
    Oct 24 2025

    Send us a text

    What if the life that proves you “made it” is the very thing keeping you from yourself? We sit down with Rochelle Trow, founder of The Change Canvas and author of Awakening to Wholeness, A Life Unmasked to trace her journey from global HR executive to values-led leadership coach. This is a story about the cost of chasing success that shines on paper but starves the soul, and the radical clarity that follows when you stop overriding your body and start telling the truth.

    Rochelle opens up about the mirror moment that revealed her burnout, and the deeper question that changed everything: Who am I without the labels?


    We map her “freedom to shine” plan: ending a misaligned marriage, stepping away from a title-driven career, rebuilding trust at home, and healing her body from the inside out. As her inner world aligned, the weight of stress lifted—on the scale and in her spirit. The takeaway is practical and hopeful: redefine success on your terms, create boundaries that honour your values, and trade perfection for presence. Whether you’re in HR, leading teams, or simply ready to unmask, you’ll leave with tools to regulate under pressure, meet triggers with care, and make choices your nervous system can support.

    If this conversation moved you or made you feel seen, follow the show, share it with a sister, and leave a review. Your voice helps more women unmask, lead with heart, and live in true alignment.
