What if starting again wasn’t a failure, but a turning point?

In this episode of Unsure to Unstoppable, I’m joined by Kirsty Kayn- mum of two, mindset coach, business owner, and host of LYFE with Kirsty Kayn. After being dealt a tricky deck of cards in life, Kirsty rebuilt everything from the ground up in her 30s while navigating motherhood, identity shifts, and the quiet pull to choose herself.

We talk honestly about starting again, losing and rediscovering yourself in motherhood, self-trust, and what loving yourself first actually looks like in real life, not the highlight reel.

This is part one of a two-part pod swap and a conversation for any woman who feels unsure, stuck, or on the edge of something new.

You don’t need a perfect past. You just need the courage to take the next step.

In this powerful episode of Unsure to Unstoppable, Donna sits down with Emma Brambell - entrepreneur, multiple business owner and co-founder of The Brambell Group, and a woman whose life has been shaped by constant reinvention.

From spending over two decades as an army wife and moving home 17 times, to scaling a business from a few quid to multi six figures, Emma shares how resilience, adaptability, and deep self-trust were forged not in comfort… but in uncertainty.

Raised in a home that offered refuge to vulnerable women, Emma’s story is rooted in compassion, courage, and the quiet strength of lived experience. Together, Donna and Emma explore identity beyond roles, stepping into visible leadership, making bold decisions before you feel ready, and what unstoppable truly means when it comes from within.

This conversation is for the woman who knows there is more for her, even if she can’t quite see it yet.

In this episode of Unsure to Unstoppable, Donna is joined by Gemma, a coach who helps single women master themselves so they can master love.

But this conversation isn’t about dating tips or surface-level confidence. It’s about the version of Gemma who once doubted herself, repeated unhealthy patterns, and looked outside herself for validation - and the inner work that changed everything.

Together, they explore the moment she stopped abandoning herself, the identity she had to release, and how self-mastery became the bridge between surviving relationships and choosing herself. This episode is for any woman who knows she’s meant for more - even if she’s still finding her way there.

Today my first-born turns 17 - and with that milestone comes reflection.

Motherhood doesn’t just change your life… It reshapes your identity.

In this solo episode, I open up about the invisible transitions we move through as women and as mums - the versions of ourselves we shed, the parts we silence, and the quiet longing to remember who we are beneath the roles we carry.

This is a conversation about love, loss, survival, and self-return. About why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it means you’re evolving.

I also share why this season of my life inspired the creation of the Freedom Programme - a space for women who are ready to release survival patterns, reconnect with themselves, and step into the next version of who they’re becoming.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Who am I now?” This episode is for you.

This episode is an invitation to begin the year without pressure.

To reflect honestly, shed the identities built in survival, and choose intentions that truly serve you. This is not about becoming someone new - it’s about releasing what no longer fits and coming home to yourself.

In this powerful episode, Donna sits down with Demi, founder of Noir & Noble, to explore the truth behind her transformation from anxious teen mum to grounded, confident travel expert and business owner.

Demi opens up about the early anxiety rooted in a chaotic home life, being bullied at school, leaving education at 15, and becoming a mum at 17. She shares how these experiences shaped her, how they fuelled both her ambition and her self-doubt, and how she reached breaking point in early 2025 - ready to quit the travel industry entirely.

What happened next changed everything. Instead of walking away, Demi turned inward, challenged the mindset that had been running her life, and created a complete 360 shift in her confidence, worth and career.

This episode is honest, empowering and proof that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.

When Savanna Madden lost her voice to vocal nodules during one of the hardest chapters of her life, everything she knew was shaken - her identity, her confidence, her entire sense of self. But that silence became the catalyst for a whole new beginning.

In this powerful conversation, Savanna shares how losing her voice helped her find her truth, rebuild her resilience from the inside out, and step into her purpose. Through speech therapy, mindset work and deep inner healing, she not only regained her voice - she built a thriving theatre school and a mission that now helps fellow theatre school owners step into their worth and run profitable, confident, heart-led businesses.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt knocked down, unheard or doubted their own power. Savanna’s journey reminds us: sometimes losing your voice is exactly what helps you find it again.

In this powerful conversation, Ruth opens up about the chapters that shaped her - from travelling the world as a teacher and drama facilitator, to becoming a twin mum during COVID, to falling head-first into the world of wellbeing and mindset work.

She speaks candidly about losing her mum at just 24, how that heartbreak shaped her passion for mental health, and the deep meaning behind now supporting staff &pupils in the very school her mum once worked in. Alongside her flourishing coaching business, Ruth also runs a thriving drama company with multiple sell-out productions, blending creativity, healing, and purpose in a way that’s uniquely her.

This episode is a story of courage, reinvention, and the quiet strength it takes to rise when life hands you both beauty and heartbreak. A true Unsure to Unstoppable journey.

From acting as a young boy, to losing himself in the noise of school and expectations, to rediscovering his passion later in life - Kyle shares what it really takes to return to the thing your soul never forgot.

He speaks with honesty about losing his dad and how that moment became the catalyst that reminded him life is too short to ignore what lights you up. Now co-running a production company with his best friend and stepping fully into his creative power, Kyle’s story is a reminder that it’s never too late to choose the life that feels true.

This is a conversation about courage, alignment, and answering the call that’s been inside you all along.
