In this final episode (for now), Toks shares why she’s pressing pause on The Authentic Edge and Living Inside Out.

From launching a new concession for The Baby Cot Shop in Harrods to completing her long-awaited book, life has brought an exciting (and very full) buffet of opportunities. But sometimes, even the best things need to be taken off the plate to make room for what matters most in the moment.

This is not goodbye—just a gentle pause. Thank you for starting your mornings with The Authentic Edge. We’ll meet again soon.

In this episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture opens up about a powerful moment of self-awareness triggered by a conversation at a glamorous awards event. Despite being showered with praise and offered mentorship by a successful executive, her initial reaction was disbelief, doubt, and—ultimately—cynicism.

Drawing parallels from a similar story she witnessed on television, Toks explores how cynicism can quietly sabotage our potential. It creeps in, questioning compliments, rejecting support, and minimising the light others see in us.

You’ll learn:

• How to recognise cynical thinking when it shows up

• The cost of rejecting encouragement and help

• Why reframing your inner dialogue can change the trajectory of your life

• Simple, powerful ways to respond differently when opportunities come your way

This episode is a gentle but important reminder: sometimes the only thing standing between you and your next level… is your ability to believe that others might be right about you.

In this episode of The Authentic Edge, Toks Aruoture shares a surprising story from her childhood—one that explains why she’s always said no to having a dog, despite her children’s persistent pleas.

From growing up surrounded by pets to the formative memories that still influence her today, Toks reflects on how past experiences shape our present-day choices—often in ways we don’t consciously realise.

It’s a light-hearted yet thought-provoking reminder that sometimes, our “no” carries an entire backstory.
