  • Solo episode - When Conflict Isn’t Just About Them: Reclaiming Your Voice and Power

    In today's solo episode, we go in deep on Conflict. And how the root cause of conflict is actually deep within ourselves.

    Differences in boundaries, beliefs, values can all create conflict firstly within ourselves, and then manifest in our external interactions.

    Some reflection points for you:

    • Where in your life are you feeling out of alignment
    • What feels like conflict—even if no one’s yelling?


    Is it about:

    • Boundaries?
    • Values?
    • Self-belief?


    And what are the stories you’re telling yourself about those situations?

    • About you?
    • About them?

    I'd love to hear what's come up for you - reach out at [email protected] and remember, if you are keen to explore this further, our Beta: Founding Circle opportunity is coming up fast!

Debbie shares how reconnecting with our true selves (yes, all six of them!) can help us move through this season with clarity and confidence.

    She introduces her beautiful 'Six Selves' framework, designed to support women on the path to self-actualization and real transformation—not just surviving, but thriving. We also touch on the impact menopause can have—not just on our bodies, but on our emotions, our relationships, and how we show up in the world.
