  • "Act As If" - Emotional Resilience, Big Goals & the Truth About Success with Celebrity Life Coach Dior Bediako
    Apr 21 2025

    This is the third and final episode in our Island Retreat miniseries—and it’s a BIG one.

    In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Dior Bediako - celebrity life coach, founder of Pepper Your Talk, and someone who has genuinely changed the way I think. I first heard her on Ladies Who Launch while driving to an event (and panicking about a cancelled speaker for the Island), and by the time I pulled up, I just knew I had to work with her. So I messaged her… and I got her. No gatekeeping here - you get to hear her too.

    Fresh off a Future Self Exchange in Paris that Dior co-hosted, I reflect on the power of putting yourself in rooms that stretch you, why success isn’t about good vibes and vision boards, and how emotional resilience is the key to hitting your next level.

    Dior’s session on the Island is one that stayed with every single one of us. From goal setting to grief, emotional mastery to owning your story, this episode will help you:

    • Rethink what it means to “feel ready”
    • Embrace vulnerability as a requirement, not a weakness
    • Understand why your ability to sit with discomfort is what actually unlocks your dreams
    • Start living as if you already are your future self

    This one’s for the dreamers who are done playing small.

    Grab a pen, take notes, and then take action.

    (00:00) - Intro and Paris trip overview

    (03:30) - My own burnout and why 2023 felt emotionally flat

    (08:29) - Introduction to Dior

    (15:05) - Deep dive into goal setting and emotional resilience

    (27:19) - How to show up as your future self RIGHT NOW

    (35:51) - The game-changing framework for understanding your emotions

    (40:12) - Embracing vulnerability as a path to success

    (45:00) - Closing thoughts
