In this powerful conversation, Helen Colquhoun sits down with positive psychology coach Nicola Smithson to explore what really sits beneath women’s ambition, burnout, and growth.

Nicola shares her journey from a small village upbringing through recruitment and network marketing, into building a coaching business rooted in mindset, self-worth, and resilience. But this isn’t just about business success, it’s about what women are carrying behind the scenes.

They dive into the mental load so many women experience, the pressure of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and why so many high-achieving women still question themselves despite doing “all the right things.”

This episode shines a light on the patterns that keep women stuck - overthinking, self-doubt, doing it all alone - and why community, support, and honest conversations are essential for real growth.

If you’ve ever felt like you should have it all together… but don’t - this one will hit home.
