Ellie Megraw joins us for a raw and energising chat on what really shifts when women stop chasing the grind and start listening to themselves. She’s a Business Strategist with a serious edge – part clarity activator, part energetic firestarter – and she’s the person women turn to when they hit that crashing moment of “I just can’t do business like this anymore.”

This isn’t a fluffy conversation about mindset hacks or morning routines. Ellie gets real about what’s underneath the burnout, the overthinking, and the self-doubt spiral. It’s not about pushing through – it’s about pulling back. And reconnecting with what you already know deep down.

We chat through:

- The real reason strategy alone won’t cut it when you’re stuck in self-doubt

- What Ellie means by “success from soul – not stress” (and how to start shifting towards it)

- Why perfectionism feels safe... and what to do when it’s running the show

- How to tap back into your energetic blueprint without needing a full life overhaul

- What it looks like day-to-day to lead from clarity instead of chaos

- Plus how Ellie works with women who are ready to do things their way – for real this time

This episode feels like a warm hug and a powerful nudge. If you’re tired of doing “all the right things” and still not feeling right, this one’s for you 💛

- What to do when your mind goes blank mid-answer (hint: it’s not panic!)

💥 This one’s a game-changer. We’re live from the RCSA Talent X event with powerhouse advocate and trainer Aisling Smith, breaking down exactly how to tap into one of the most under-celebrated talent pools in recruitment today.

Aisling isn’t just any expert. She’s the Neurodiversity Trainer of the Year, a 40 Under 40 Business Elite Award recipient, and a Stevie Award-winning Social Change Maker in Disability. She’s also a late-diagnosed autistic woman with ADHD, and a mum to a neurodivergent child. Her work? Deeply personal and unapologetically real.

From busting the myths about neurodivergent talent to showing recruiters and hiring managers what inclusive hiring actually looks like, this episode’s full of the stuff we all need to hear. 🚀

Here’s what we cover:

- Aisling’s powerful story - why she’s so driven to create safer, smarter workplaces for neurodivergent people.

- Why hiring processes still exclude some of the most focused, innovative, and resilient candidates out there.

- The so-called "fair" hiring practices that are anything but..

- The tiny changes that make a huge difference.

- How managers can stop worrying about "getting it wrong" and start showing up better.

- Strengths worth celebrating (that too often get overlooked).

- How to actually motivate neurodivergent team members (spoiler: it’s not just about perks).

- Real-life examples of cultural transformation when neuro-inclusion strategies are done right.

- The bold move Aisling wants recruiters and hiring managers to make tomorrow.

This episode is a must-listen if you’re in hiring, management, HR or just want to be a better teammate.
