Episode Summary:
If you left the NHS dreaming of more freedom, only to find yourself working longer hours than ever, this episode is for you. I’m joined by the brilliant Kay Dewar — a master intuitive psychology coach and operations consultant — and we’re talking about the hidden reasons why so many regulated professionals find it so hard to rest (even when the systems are in place).

Together, we unpack how deep-rooted perfectionism, people-pleasing, and NHS conditioning show up in your business — and how to gently unlearn the patterns that keep you stuck in the cycle of overworking. Whether you’re juggling a packed calendar, struggling to say no, or just feeling like there’s never enough time, you’ll walk away from this conversation feeling lighter, more seen, and with practical next steps to create space, ease, and sustainability in your workday again.
