Reset with Ash Cam

New Year, More You is a guided Reset Walk created to help you gently close out the year that was and step into the year ahead feeling grounded and confident.

This walk is not about becoming a new version of yourself. It is an invitation to become more of who you already are.

If the past year felt big, busy, or stretching in ways you did not expect, this episode is your space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what truly matters. As we walk together, you will be guided to reflect on the year behind you, reconnect with your strengths, and spend a few moments alongside your 90 year old self. The version of you with perspective, clarity, and zero interest in playing small.

This guided walk is designed to be listened to while moving, with your eyes open, outdoors or wherever feels good for you. There is no pressure to have answers or make resolutions. Instead, you will be invited to notice what feels steady in your body, name one gentle yes for the year ahead, and remember that courage does not have to be loud. Sometimes it really does start with just 30 seconds.

If you are craving clarity without pressure, inspiration without burnout, and a reminder that you are allowed to want more while still appreciating where you are, this walk is for you.

Pop your headphones in, step outside, and let this be your Reset moment.

Best enjoyed:

• On a walk

• When you want to reset, reflect, or reconnect with yourself

Reset is your weekly pause, a space to learn something that helps you live happier and healthier. Hosted by Ash Cam, each episode blends science backed wellbeing, real conversations, and gentle inspiration to help you thrive without burning out in the process.

She’s helped distribute over 5.6 million donated period products, led more than 4,000 volunteers, changed government policy to save Australian women $30million collectively per year, and become a voice for women who often go unseen.

Today on Reset, I’m joined by Rochelle Courtenay AKA Pad Lady, Founder of Share the Dignity and the woman behind one of Australia’s most impactful movements.

In this powerful conversation, we dive into the reality of period poverty in Australia, how Share the Dignity grew from one idea into a nationwide charity, and what each of us can do to make a meaningful difference especially as we head into the “It’s In The Bag” season.

We explore:

• What period poverty really looks like
• Why donating a bag this November matters more than ever
• The gaps in education and the steps we can take to change them
• The Bloody Big Survey results and what they reveal
• Dignity Vending Machines and how they work
• How to support 150,000 women in need this Christmas
• Leadership, advocacy and the reality of building a national charity

This episode is for anyone who wants to be part of the change and understand the power of one woman’s courage to create a movement that’s helping millions.

This was an episode that multiple women have privately messaged me to say thank you for. The insights, resources and support that Steph shares are things that 50% of us will need in our lifetime. And with statistics like that, if it's not us, it is one of our best friends.

Yes, it's an awkward topic and we'd rather avoid it... but if we are interested in marriage and relationships we also need to be aware of divorce. 

Stephanie Murray is a Family Lawyer and Partner at Richardson Murray Law. Her team has helped thousands of couples to navigate divorce so I felt like she is the perfect person to ask all of my curious questions.  

• Are divorce rates declining? 
• Why do couples get divorced? 
• When is divorce a good idea?
• How do some men avoid paying child support? 
• Are all assets (including crypto and superannuation) included in a settlement? 
• Are there free resources for people who can't afford a lawyer? 
• How long does it take to get divorced? 
• Should you get a mid-marriage prenup before having children? 

This episode is packed with practical wisdom and I think you should share it with all your girlfriends. It will help us all to make informed decisions when entering a relationship, having children or considering marriage. 

It will also help empower those who may currently feel trapped. You never know who is struggling behind closed doors.

This week on Reset, I sat down with Fabienne Costa, Founder of YCL Jewellery  and Co-Founder of SRLA for a conversation that I know so many of you will find powerful and personal.

Fabienne is one of those women who leads with heart and honesty. We spoke about what it really takes to build and grow a business, how she’s navigated co-founding SRLA with her friend, and how becoming a mother has changed the way she leads and lives.

She also opened up about her fertility journey - something that so many high-achieving women silently go through and how it taught her to soften, surrender, and rethink success. I’m so grateful for how generously she shared the raw, emotional side of that chapter in her life.

We also touched on leadership, social media, personal branding, and how she chooses what to share online versus what she protects. And of course, I couldn’t resist asking what advice her 90-year-old self would give her today.

If you're building something, navigating change, or feeling like you're in a season of unknowns this one’s for you.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why she ignored the advice to never go into business with a friend

• The behind-the-scenes of building not one, but two brands

• Her fertility journey - and the lessons she learned beyond the spreadsheets and goal-setting

• How motherhood has shaped her leadership style

• What she shares on social media (and what she chooses to keep sacred)

• How she’s thinking about AI and the future of business

• The things she’s doing now to help set her daughter up for a thriving future

• And the powerful wisdom she imagines her 90-year-old self would offer her today

This is such a beautiful and honest chat. I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone - and that even in the hardest chapters, there is softness, strength, and space to rewrite the story.

In this episode, Psychologist Anna returns to explore the complex topic of parental guilt - a feeling experienced by 70% of parents on a weekly basis.

We dive into the causes of guilt in parenting, how parental guilt affects men and women differently, and how to manage the pressure to be a perfect parent.

Anna shares valuable insights on setting healthy boundaries, coping with negative self-talk, and addressing the impact of social media on parenting.

The episode also highlights the importance of embracing the concept of "rough, rough, good enough" - because perfection isn't necessary for raising happy healthy children.

Key Topics Discussed:

• What is parental guilt and its common causes

• How parental guilt impacts men and women differently

• The pros and cons of social media on parenting: how it creates pressure but can also provide support

• The role of healthy boundaries in reducing parental guilt

• The personality traits that might make some people more prone to parental guilt

• Practical strategies for challenging negative self-talk like "I'm not doing enough"

• Balancing career ambitions with parenting: how to avoid feeling like you're failing at both

• The importance of self-care and making time for yourself without feeling guilty
