✨ Why choosing your power is more empowering than stepping into your power

✨ How Sharon’s DNA Light Up system helps clear limiting beliefs and reconnect with your inner spark

✨ My personal Light Up journey and the moment I truly felt "I AM ENOUGH"

Some days are not easy...

In this honest, unfiltered conversation, I share my recent diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome and sleep apnoea, and what it feels like to sit with the messy middle instead of putting on a brave face. Joined by Nisha, we explore what it means to show up authentically, even when life feels overwhelming.

We dive into:

✨ The relief and grief of finally receiving a diagnosis after 20 years

✨ Why advice isn’t always helpful and what true empathy looks like

✨ The exhaustion of living with chronic illness (and how it shapes daily life)

✨ Learning to surrender, pace yourself, and redefine “success”

✨ Why it’s okay not to feel okay and how to find safety in the small things

If you’ve ever struggled behind the scenes while presenting “fine” to the world, this episode is a reminder that your truth is valid, your feelings are welcome, and you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Hi, I’m Polly. I left the traditional career path at 24 to start my own business, and now freedom is my reality with Mondays off, travel, daily luxuries, and time with the people and animals I love.

On this podcast, we get real about building a life that supports you: breaking free from survival mode, dreaming bigger, and creating your own version of an Elevated Life whilst dealing with chronic illness, messy middles, and all.

Each week, I share honest conversations with women elevating their lives one step at a time. Step into dream mode with me.

What you wear isn’t just about fashion - it’s about confidence, mindset, and showing up as the most empowered version of yourself.

In this episode, I’m joined by stylist Helen Richardson, who helps women rediscover their style, reignite their confidence, and feel amazing in their own skin - no matter their age, size, or budget.

We talk about:

✨ Why style is more than just clothes

✨ The connection between what you wear and how you feel
✨ How colour, shape, and personal expression can transform confidence
✨ The psychology behind style as personal development
✨ Why it’s never too late to start showing up as you

If you’ve been hiding in your wardrobe (literally or metaphorically), let this episode be your sign to step back into style, joy, and self-belief.

“You can’t dream when you’re in survival mode.”

In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my therapist, Kyla, to unpack the journey from living in constant burnout to creating the space to dream big again.

We talk about:

✨ What survival mode really is — and why it’s not just about money

✨ How unmet needs and nervous system regulation impact our ability to dream

✨ My own therapy journey and the turning points that shifted everything

✨ The difference between surviving and thriving (and why it can be scary to make the leap)

✨ Practical tools for sustaining “dream mode” in life and business

If you’ve been stuck in go-go-go mode, waiting for “someday” to feel happy or successful, this conversation will help you see that you can start creating your dream life now.

We dive into:

✨ What a “Me First” business looks like in practice

✨ The unlearning that happens when you leave hustle culture behind

✨ My own journey of burnout, ADHD diagnosis, and creating space for rest

✨ The power of boundaries, mindset shifts & redefining success

✨ Our Magic in Mijas retreat and what made it so transformational
