Listen Later

“Success means nothing if you lose yourself in the process.”


In this episode, I sit down with Yasmin Cooper, former telecommunications executive turned health and wellness entrepreneur, to unpack the journey from running a high-pressure corporate business to building a life rooted in movement, mindset, and meaning.


We talk about:

📞 Building and leading an Optus Business Centre from the ground up

👩‍💼 Navigating leadership as a woman in a male-dominated industry

⚖️ The cost of ambition when ego and drive start impacting family life

🧠 How her mother’s 10-year battle with Alzheimer’s reshaped her priorities

🧘 Meditation, therapy, and rebuilding mental resilience after divorce and burnout

🏋️ Becoming a certified Pilates instructor and launching The Cooper Method

🌿 Helping women navigate perimenopause, menopause, and motherhood through movement, nutrition, and mindset


This one is honest, reflective, and deeply practical. It’s about redefining success, rebuilding from adversity, and creating a version of life that actually feels aligned.
