January has got going now and bringing with it the sense of possibility and new beginnings.

What if the new beginning you're searching for, the new you, is not a distant, future version, but actually already here, waiting to be seen?

In this episode I look at what I think it means to step into your next level, the signs that you're ready (even if you don't feel ready) and how the way that you present yourself to the world (including something as seemingly simple as the colours you wear) plays a powerful role in this journey.

This is for you if you feel disconnect between who you are inside and how you are showing up outside. It is for the woman who has been playing safe and is starting to feel restricted by those safe choices. For the woman who is ready to be seen as she truly is.

You'll discover:

• Women who are levelling up do differently
• Four signs you are ready for your next level
• Why the external and internal are more connected than you think
• How colour influences confidence and helps you express who you are

The woman you are becoming is already inside you, waiting for you to see her, believe in her and have the courage to express her.

Happy New Year!

We're officially in 2026, the new year coming with lots of fresh start energy and also lots of suggestions of what success should look like.

It can start to feel like there's a very specific template for success and if you don't fit it, you're left feeling like you're somehow doing it wrong.

In this episode, I explore what it's like to build something that is truly yours, rather that fit into someone else's template, what it means to define success on your own terms and how you can create a version of success that actually feels good, not just looks good from the outside.

This is for the woman who has:

• been chasing goals that look impressive but feel hollow
• realised she might be climbing someone else's ladder
• ready to think about what she actually wants

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How your style and personal brand are connected to your definition of success
• A four step process for getting clear on what success means to you personally

Because the most fulfilling version of success isn't the one that looks good to everyone else. It's the one that feels good to you.

It's New Year's Eve. Everywhere you look, there's the same message: "New Year, New You."

The transformation promises and reinvention rhetoric. The implication that who you are right now isn't quite enough and that January 1st is your chance to become someone better.

What if you don't need to become someone new in 2026? What if you just need to believe in who you already are?

In this episode, I'm challenging the "new year, new you" narrative, because real, lasting transformation doesn't come from rejecting who you are, it comes from accepting who you are and making aligned choices from that place of acceptance.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How the "new year, new you" narrative is holding you back

• The difference between growth from acceptance and trying to fix yourself

• How to create sustainable change that doesn't feel hard

• The Alignment Inventory practise to guide your new year

This isn't about becoming someone different. It's about believing in who you already are.

Because you don't need to reinvent yourself in 2026. You just need to believe in yourself.

That might actually be the most radical, transformative thing you could do.

Wishing you a beautiful New Year, filled with presence, kindness and the deep knowing that you are already enough.
