After months off the mic, I wasn't sure how to return. What I did know was this …

It's time to start disappointing others so you don't disappoint yourself (thanks Elizabeth Gilbert). Time to stop draining your energy just to keep things smooth, so you can start noticing what peace actually feels like in your body.

It's about the energy edits that don't look big on the outside but feel huge in your body. I share the simple, and wildly uncomfortable, ways I've started saying no (without the novel). And how those decisions gave me energy I didn't know I was leaking.

If you've been sitting on a decision you already know is a no, and haven't let yourself make it (yet) this one's for you.

Inside this episode:

• Why "boundaries" never quite landed for me

• The phrase I use now and how it softened everything

• Letting go of inherited rules that never felt like mine

• The epic healing that happens inside, when disappointing others

• What came rushing in when I stopped abandoning myself

Need support with your own energy edits? EDGE, my brand new 2-week mini container, is now open. The space between the knowing and the doing. If you're craving your energy back, DM me "EDGE" on socials or send me an email [email protected] and I'll share the next steps.

What if the real issue is that your true needs simply aren't being met?

In this episode on the Bounce Out Of Bed Podcast, I sit down (literally) with Systemic Organisational Psychologist Bryn Edwards for a rich, eye-opening conversation about what it really takes to feel whole, grounded and more like yourself again.

Bryn shares his brilliant tree metaphor to unpack the seven layers of human needs that go far beyond food, shelter or chasing success. We explore everything from belonging and energy to intuition and alignment and what happens when your needs are distorted or overlooked.

It's an ep filled with wisdom, goosebumps and a whole lot of 'ohhh that makes sense now'.

We cover:

• Why Maslow's pyramid doesn't quite cut it

• The difference between values and core nature

• How to recognise distortions and projections

• Why your needs aren't optional, they're your foundation

• What it looks like to live in alignment with who you really are

This isn't another 'cut carbs, cut joy' episode. This is the one that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about food, fatigue, and that resentment you feel when someone says 'just eat clean.'

Jess Wilson isn't your typical health coach. She's an expansive, soul-led practitioner guiding ambitious women back to feeling lit up in their bodies, without giving up everything or adding more to their already overflowing plates.

She believes your body is your co-creator, not a self-improvement project. And in this conversation? You'll feel that in all the juicyness that flows in our chat.

Jess shares her deeply personal journey as a mother of twins with complex health needs, and how that chapter cracked her wide open. What followed wasn't a new diet, but a new definition of well.

Inside, we go deep on:

💛 Why food isn't the problem your relationship with your energy might be

💛 The subtle shifts that create big change - weirdly easy tweaks with real payoff

💛 How women like you, ambitious lover of life, can finally put themselves back on their own list

This episode will leave you nodding and smiling and ready to embrace the simplicity on your wellness journey. You can find Jess here:

There's something magnetic about people who follow joy like it's their inner compass. Anka is one of those people, and when we connected (very recently), I knew this was a conversation I wanted to have.

In this episode, I chat with Anka, an ocean swimmer, traveller and German TV reporter who splits her time between Europe and Perth.

We talk about what happens when you stop playing it safe and start saying yes to the things that light you up.

Inside this conversation:

• How Anka found instant community through ocean swimming

• Growing up in rainy Germany and how it shaped her resilience

• Creating a life that follows the seasons

• Why you don't need the full plan before you take the leap

• The joy of movement, connection and shared coffees after a swim

• A shared love of cookbooks, culture and pomegranates

• And why "goodbye" isn't in Anka's vocab

If you're craving adventure, connection, or just know you need 'something different', this episode will give you that nudge to trust your curiosity and choose joy - even when it makes no sense on paper.

Listen to the end to find out how to dissect a pomegranate (life hack included).

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what you really want? LIke really, really, really deep in your core. In this episode, I share how meal planning isn't about rigid schedules or menus you can't stick with. It's about creating more ease, flow, and freedom in your life.

What if you could let go of dinner time stress and make meal planning effortless? Instead of feeling overwhelmed by last minute decisions, what if you had a system that actually works for you without guilt, pressure, or decision fatigue?

In this episode, I share:

• The real reason meal planning feels so hard and why it is not actually about the food
• How planning meals a month at a time can bring more joy, connection, and ease to your days
• Why AI is a game changer for stress free meal planning whether you are a beginner or already experimenting
• How to create flexibility in your meal plan so it works with you, not against you

Ever find yourself saying, "I feel bad because…" over things that, deep down, you know you shouldn't feel bad about? It usually involves other people and what you think (on some level) you're doing 'wrong'.

If this is you, you're in for a treat. I'm unpacking why this happensand what you can do about it.

In this episode, we'll dive into:

• Why so many of us (especially high-achievers) feel guilt over so many things
• How to unlearn guilt around personal choices (yep, totally possible)
• Setting boundaries without the post-no guilt spiral
• The difference between helpful guilt and the kind that just drags you down
• Why prioritising yourself isn't selfish—it's necessary

The Takeaways:

• "Every time you're given a choice between disappointing someone else and disappointing yourself, your duty is to disappoint someone else." Elizabeth Gilbert
• Some guilt is useful, but unnecessary guilt? Time to let it go
• Try this - spend the next 24 hours noticing when you say "I feel bad because…" and ask yourself, Is this even true?
• Want to explore this more? Let's chat - I offer free calls to see if coaching is the right fit for you.

Listen now and start shaking off the guilt that was never yours to carry.

What happens when the career you've spent 30 years building no longer feels like the right path? That's exactly what today's guest, Ceri Hughes (a client of mine and now an Executive Coach), faced when she left a long and successful career in professional services to step into coaching. After years of traveling the world for work, the pandemic brought her back to her hometown in South Wales, where she began redefining success, reconnecting with what truly matters, and embracing mid-life transitions—not just in her career but in her health and way of life.

In this episode, we dive into:

🧡 Career transitions and redefining success - What led Ceri to walk away from corporate life and start a coaching business 🧡 Navigating mid-life shifts with courage - How she embraced the changes that come with this stage of life, from career to health 🧡 The power of values in decision-making - Why knowing what's truly important makes every transition easier 🧡 Overcoming fear and imposter syndrome - Moving through the doubts that come with big life changes 🧡 Pausing for applause - The simple but powerful practice of celebrating small wins to build confidence and momentum 🧡 Authentic connections and support networks - Why you don't have to navigate transitions alone, and how it's a lot more fun with someone asking you the questions you already have the answers to. but can't quite see it

Ceri's journey is a beautiful reminder that it's never too late to make a change, redefine your path, and create a life that feels deeply aligned. If you've ever felt stuck or unsure about what's next, this episode will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take your next step. You can find Ceri Hughes on Linked In here
