Many women quietly put themselves last - not because they don’t care, but because they’re used to responding to everyone else.

In this solo episode of Self-Worth School, I explore what it really means to become the main character in your own life without guilt, drama, or blowing everything up.

I talk about how easy it is to lose touch with what you want, and why putting yourself last is a learned habit rather than a personality trait.

I'll also introduce the idea of defaults vs wants, and explain why jealousy, boredom, and daydreaming can be useful clues rather than things to ignore.

💛 In this episode, we cover:

✨ Why burnout doesn’t always look dramatic

✨ How living on autopilot keeps you stuck

✨ The difference between habits and real wants

✨ Why becoming the “main character” isn’t selfish

✨ How small choices build self-trust over time

If you’ve been feeling capable but slightly disconnected from yourself, this episode will help you slow down, notice what’s going on, and decide what you want to do differently - without pressure to have it all figured out.

If you’ve been feeling capable, responsible, and slightly disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a chance to pause and reflect before deciding what comes next.

But ultimately, know that you are your own person and your dreams matter.

Setting boundaries sounds simple, and we're all told we should do it - but for many women, it’s loaded with guilt, fear, and people-pleasing.

Self-advocacy can feel uncomfortable - especially for women who’ve been taught to be agreeable, grateful, or quiet.

But learning to speak up for yourself is one of the most powerful ways to build confidence, self-worth, and a life that actually feels aligned.

In this episode of Self-Worth School, I'm joined by Michelle Steiner, who shares her personal journey of self-advocacy through education, work, and life - including navigating learning disabilities, challenging expectations, and learning to use her voice even when it felt scary.

Together, we explore what self-advocacy really means (and what it doesn’t), why so many women struggle to ask for what they need, and how bravery, honesty, and self-worth can coexist.

In this episode, we cover:

- How societal expectations shape our confidence and voice

- The difference between being assertive and being aggressive

- How to advocate for yourself in both big moments and everyday situations

- Why recognising your strengths - alongside your limits - is empowering.

How much of your life is shaped by what other people might think?The decisions you don’t make.The things you don’t say.

The dreams you go for (or don't).The version of yourself you quietly edit to stay safe, liked, or understood.In this solo episode of Self-Worth School, I explore why caring too much about other people’s opinions can quietly shape your decisions, confidence, and sense of freedom - and how to loosen its grip so you can actually live your life.In it, I cover:- Why caring what people think sometimes feels so intense (the neuroscience behind it)- How fear of judgment shows up in your choices, boundaries, and confidence- A simple “relevance filter” to help you decide which opinions matter- How self-worth gives you the power to decide what you let land, what you believe, and how you respond.This isn’t about ignoring everyone.

It’s about stopping other people’s opinions from running your life or impacting your peace, happiness and confidence.If this lands, share it with a woman who needs the reminder that she gets to choose herself.

For so many women, clutter isn’t really about “the stuff.”

It’s about overwhelm.

It’s about feeling stuck.

It's about running a busy life and home and not feeling like you have the time.

It’s about a mind that feels as chaotic as the room you’re standing in.

It's about how it affects how you feel about yourself.

In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Valerie Huard - a trauma-informed decluttering coach whose own journey with CPTSD led her to discover how deeply physical clutter mirrors emotional clutter.

Together, we explore:

💛 why clutter is never about laziness

💛 how trauma, burnout, or ADHD make clutter feel impossible to manage

💛 the link between declutter and your self-worth

💛 Valerie’s four-step decluttering framework that helps create lasting change

💛 how simple tools (like gloves!) can reduce overwhelm for neurodivergent minds

💛 what it looks like to build a home environment that supports your wellbeing

This is not an episode about having a Pinterest-perfect home.

It’s about creating space - mentally, emotionally, and physically - so you can breathe, and feel happy and confident again.

So many women grow up learning to distrust, criticise, or shrink their bodies (smaller = more attractive) - and it quietly erodes confidence, self-worth, and joy.

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Kim Basler, a speaker, coach, and former fitness industry professional who walked away after 25 years to do the deeper work of helping women heal from diet culture and rebuild a compassionate, connected relationship with their bodies.

Together, we explore:

💛 why body image struggles intensify in midlife

💛 how diet culture disconnects women from self-worth

💛 the emotional and nervous system roots of body dissatisfaction

💛 how to differentiate self-care from self-punishment

💛 daily practices that gently build body peace

This is an honest, tender lesson on coming home to yourself - not by changing your body, but by changing your relationship with it.

So many women have been taught that their sexuality is something to hide, downplay, or perform - but what if pleasure is simply an act of coming home to yourself?

Reconnecting with your sexual self isn’t about performing confidence - it’s about feeling present, alive, and safe within your own body.

In this episode of Self-Worth School, Rosie is joined by Kayla MacDonald, a food freedom and embodiment coach who helps women break free from self-sabotage and finally feel safe, sexy, and at home in their bodies.

She's the creator of Food Freedom Fantasy, a sensual, story-driven method that uses archetypes, nervous system rewiring, and inner storytelling to help women turn cravings into clarity, and self-care into sacred play.

Together, they discuss:

💛 Why so many women feel disconnected from their desire

💛 How to feel “sexy” again - for yourself

💛 The role of imagination and fantasy in rediscovering passion

💛 What real sexual confidence looks like

💛 How desire links to self-worth and emotional connection
