Feeling “successful” but unfulfilled? Wondering how to build confidence, take smarter risks, and find true fulfilment in a high-performance career?

In this episode of Shameless Careers, I’m joined by Alina Addison - Executive Coach, former Head of Trading & Execution at Rothschild & Co, and author of The Audacity Spectrum. Together, we explore how high-achievers can break free from the trap of chasing external success and start living audaciously.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

✅ The 4 principles of living audaciously - acknowledge uncertainty, dare authentically, care intensely, trust your yes

✅ Why mindset - how you frame uncertainty, risk, and setbacks - is the ultimate differentiator in high-performance careers

✅ Why confidence doesn’t come first – it FOLLOWS courage (just 2% more courage a day can change everything!)

✅ Why making requests - for promotions, opportunities, and recognition - is one the perfect examples of such courage

✅ How the antidote to uncertainty isn’t certainty - but creativity and experimentation

If you’re a high-achiever in finance, consulting, law, or tech and you’ve ever felt stuck, risk-averse, or unsure of your next move, this conversation is for you.

What really happens when you leave a safe, high-paying corporate job to start your own business?

In this episode of Shameless Careers, I sit down with Morgaine Conway-Grim, who made the leap from finance into entrepreneurship to launch Hawks & Doves, a financial education company.

We talk about:

👉 Why she left a promising finance career to pursue her purpose

👉 The real financial risks of quitting a stable job

👉 How she validated her business idea and landed her first client

👉 The hardest parts of being a founder (loneliness, nonstop work and... a lot of admin!)

👉 Why the highs of entrepreneurship feel so much sweeter

If you are in finance, consulting, law, or tech - and wondering “Should I quit my corporate job to start a business?” - this conversation is for you.

Feeling exhausted from consulting or another high-pressure career? You’re not alone.

In this episode of Shameless Careers, I speak with Daphne Chung - LBS MBA graduate turned executive coach - about her journey from consulting burnout to building a thriving coaching practice.

We talk about how burnout can happen even when you enjoy your work, the link between perfectionism and exhaustion, early warning signs like poor sleep and neglected self-care, and why learning “good enough” can protect your health without limiting success.

You’ll also hear tips on making a career pivot, finding fulfillment in your work, and creating psychological safety in the workplace.

If you’re:

- A consultant feeling burned out

- A high achiever in finance, law, tech, or other high-pressure industries

- Or simply rethinking your definition of success...

... this conversation will help you recognise burnout early and take practical steps toward recovery and career satisfaction.
