This episode is a little different. Because this time I'm in the hot seat.

I was invited by the incredible Helen Pinkett to be a guest on her show, and the conversation went deep. She gave me full permission to share it with you here and I knew I had to, because it's one of the most honest, unfiltered interviews I've ever given.

This is the story behind the brand. The woman behind the frameworks. The rebel behind the rebellion.

And I want you to hear it.

🔥 WHAT YOU'LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE:

• The moment I stopped performing and started leading. How trauma, burnout, and loss cracked me open and led to the work I now do with elite performers.

• Why I no longer believe in surface-level healing. The shift that happened when I realised mindset wasn't enough and what had to change in my nervous system to finally feel safe holding the success I had built.

• The truth about being 'the strong one.' What happens when your strength becomes your mask and how I stripped it back without falling apart.

• My personal identity pivots. From elite sport to the corporate world to coaching and why each phase required a completely different level of self-trust, self-leadership, and inner rebellion.

• The subconscious sabotage no one talks about. Why you can be smart, strategic, and successful and still quietly fear losing it all. (And what I now know about rewiring this from the inside out.)

• How I became the woman who now coaches the world's most visible women. The unglamorous inner work that got me here and what it actually takes to lead when you're the one being watched.

🎯 TAKEAWAYS + TRUTH DROPS

• You can't hold a new level if your nervous system still thinks it's a threat.

• Healing isn't a phase it's a recalibration process that deepens as you rise.

• The version of you who built this isn't the one who's meant to carry it forever.

• Real alignment isn't always loud sometimes, it starts with surrender.

• You don't have to prove your power. You just have to stop hiding it.

✨ FAVOURITE QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:

"When I dropped the mask, I found the woman." "Your system can't lie it always tells the truth before your mind catches up." "The minute you stop performing, your real power starts leading." "Healing isn't about fixing yourself it's about finally trusting yourself."

🎧 Listen now.

This is for the woman who looks like she's got it all together but still feels the weight of holding it.

You're not alone. And you're not broken. You're just ready to stop hiding behind the version of you that kept it all together.
