This episode is for the woman who’s done the graft, held the sky up, made the tea, fixed the mess and forgotten what she actually wanted.

You know what the real plot twist is?

You finally choose you.

Not the noisy reinvention. Not the performative hashtag blessed post. Not the shiny detour that looks good on paper but feels like wearing someone else’s shoes.

This is the quietest rebellion of all - self-intention. Choosing your energy. Choosing your peace. Choosing your own fabulous self without explaining it, justifying it, or earning it.

In this episode of It’s Got Pockets, I’m pulling back the curtain on the moment that changed everything for me (and for so many of my clients). The moment you stop saying “I have to” and start saying “I choose to.” That’s where the real shift happens - in your brain, in your body, in your business, and in your life.

We talk:

• Why “I have to” drains your brain - and “I choose to” rewires it.
• What self-intention really means (and why I’ve ditched the term self-care).
• How your brain evaluates effort vs reward — and how to hack it for joy and purpose.
• The myth of catching up and the freedom of living aligned.
• And yes, even the emergency knickers get a shoutout. Because we keep it real.

So here's your invitation (no permission slips required):

🔥 What would choosing you look like this week?
