In this episode, we delve into the manipulative tactic known as DARVO—Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. Often employed by individuals to deflect blame and invert the roles in a conflict, DARVO can leave victims feeling confused and doubting their own experiences. We explore real-life examples, discuss its psychological impact, and provide insights on how to recognise and respond to this form of manipulation. Understanding DARVO is crucial in identifying and addressing abusive behaviours in various relationships.

This episode is all about negotiation - not just in the boardroom, but in your everyday life.

I’m joined by Gemma O’Neill, former media exec, Harvard-certified negotiation expert, and co-founder of Besties, to talk about the real work of asking for what we deserve.

From navigating tricky conversations at work to setting boundaries at home and even negotiating with ourselves, Gemma brings years of experience, practical insight, and an authentic  approach to helping women feel more confident, clear, and powerful in every negotiation they face.

We talk about:

– Why negotiation is still so hard for women (and why that’s not your fault)

– The social conditioning that keeps us small

– The emotional toll of asking for more

– How to prepare for a negotiation in work or life

– Practical tips to protect your energy and confidence

– Scripts and strategies you can implement today

– And how to stop negotiating with yourself out of what you deserve

This conversation is honest, empowering, and packed with real-world advice you can apply right now. If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking, “I should’ve said more”… this one’s for you.

Have you ever noticed how the things you loved as a child still hold meaning for you today? Or how certain struggles seem to follow you throughout life? In this episode, we explore the idea of “through lines” - the recurring interests, themes, and patterns that shape our personal journeys. From childhood passions that get lost in the shuffle of adulthood to the life lessons we keep repeating, we’ll uncover how recognising these through lines can bring clarity, purpose, and even healing. Whether it’s rediscovering an old hobby or breaking free from patterns that no longer serve you, this conversation will inspire you to reflect on your own life story. Tune in for insights, thought-provoking questions, and a little psychological wisdom to help you connect the dots in your own journey.

Regret is something we all experience, in varying proportions. Sometimes it’s a massive life decision we WISH we had made. Sometimes it’s the regret of settling or not taking any action. 

In this episode, we dive into the psychology of regret - why it happens, the difference between micro regrets and big life decision regrets, and how to make choices with less fear. We explore powerful insights from thought leaders with practical strategies such as Regret Minimization Framework to help you move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re reflecting on career moves, relationships, or personal growth, this conversation will help you reframe regret as a guide—not a life sentence.
