This week on the Lean In Podcast, we're joined by the incredible Tayla-Lea Shultz, founder and designer of Modalita Vacanza — the fashion label inspired by living life in vacation mode.

From leaving a career in law to building a fast-growing fashion brand from the ground up, Tay shares the reality of entrepreneurship, backing yourself before anyone else does, and the grit it takes to turn an idea into something real.

We chat about business, confidence, creativity, finding your personal style, navigating copycats in the fashion industry, building a support system that genuinely wants to see you win, and why it's so important to romanticise your life along the way.

This conversation feels like sitting down with your most ambitious girlfriends over dirty martinis and talking about dreams, business, friendships and becoming the woman you want to be.

If you've ever wanted to start a business, pivot careers, build something of your own, or simply need a reminder to back yourself a little harder, this episode is for you.

Hormones can feel incredibly confusing, especially when there’s so much conflicting information online. In this episode, we’re diving into all things hormones, the contraceptive pill, PMS, period pain, acne, cycle tracking, and learning how to better understand what’s happening in your body.

We share personal experiences with the pill, discuss why it works really well for some women and not for others, and explore what actually happens when you come off hormonal contraception. We also chat about post-pill acne, painful periods, endometriosis, PMS, fertility awareness, and the importance of finding an approach that works for you.

This episode is packed with practical advice, personal stories, and honest conversations about women's health that we wish we'd learnt years ago.

Whether you're considering coming off the pill, struggling with PMS, navigating hormonal acne, tracking your cycle, or simply wanting to feel more connected to your body, this conversation is for you.

Burnout isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it looks like being exhausted even after a full night’s sleep, feeling unmotivated by things you used to love, constantly saying yes when you really want to say no, or running on autopilot trying to keep up with life.

In this episode, we’re having a real conversation about burnout, overstimulation, and the pressure to always be “on.” We talk about the signs we ignored, the habits that pushed us into survival mode, and the small things that have genuinely helped us slow down and feel like ourselves again.

From work stress and social pressure to boundaries, routines, rest, and learning how to stop glorifying being busy, this episode feels like a chat with your best friends after a long week.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, unmotivated, anxious, or just completely exhausted lately, this episode is for you.

In this episode, we’re talking about something we’ve both had to get very comfortable with lately… being cringe.

From posting online, putting ourselves out there, starting new things, overthinking what people think, and learning to stop caring so much about being “cool”, this is a very honest conversation about growth, confidence, and getting uncomfortable in order to actually create the life you want.

We chat about social media pressure, self judgement, comparison, creativity, and why so many people stay stuck because they’re scared of embarrassment or being perceived. If you’ve ever wanted to start something but held yourself back because you felt awkward, cringe, or scared of what others might think - this episode is for you.

We talk about the emotional side of skin conditions, the pressure to have “perfect” skin, navigating self confidence, and the things that have genuinely helped us feel better from the inside out.
