What does it really take to land a CEO role?

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of how I helped a client successfully prepare for a CEO interview process — from communication strategies to energetic preparation. Whether you're eyeing a leadership position or simply want to speak with more impact, this one is packed with transferable tools you can start using now.

We cover:

• The "Power of 3" framework for confident, concise communication
• How to build trust and clarity in high-stakes interviews
• Strategic vs. energetic prep (and why both matter)
• Creating messaging that aligns with your values and the organization's
• Avoiding the overwhelm of over-preparing

Plus, we talk planning, mindset, and how to walk into any room ready to lead. This isn’t just about landing the job—it’s about owning your message and showing up with intention.

If you want to grow your influence, step into senior leadership, or just prep for your next big conversation—this one's for you.

Ever wrestled with a life-changing decision and wondered—am I making this from fear or truth?

In this episode I open up about my deeply personal journey of exploring whether to have another child after the loss of my son. It's not a highlight reel—it's a raw, honest look at grief, healing, motherhood, and the emotional loops we all get stuck in.

We unpack:

• The seductive myth of “fixing” grief with a new chapter
• How fear and anxiety hijack our choices
• The quiet power of emotional regulation
• Trade-offs in motherhood, relationships, and identity
• And the freedom that comes from making choices rooted in desire, not fear

Whether you’re navigating motherhood, big decisions, or just trying to feel more whole—this one is an invitation to pause, listen in, and ask:

What’s driving your choices?

This one's a full-bodied catch-up. From grief and growth to judgment and joy, I’m taking you inside a month that held it all. August marks two years since losing my son, and this episode unpacks what it means to move through waves of loss while still choosing presence, connection, and (believe it or not) fun.

I share the practices that supported me through an emotional week:

– Letting go of perfectionism

– Staying in my own lane

– Managing anxiety by taking one step at a time

– Choosing empathy over judgment (again and again)

From navigating waves of judgment (toward myself and my husband) to the unexpected beauty of a coaching event in Amsterdam, this episode explores what it really means to self-regulate, connect with others, and hold yourself with compassion instead of control.

If you’ve been stuck in a spiral of overthinking, self-criticism, or emotional exhaustion—this one’s for you.

On anxiety, grief, pattern recognition — and getting off the ride.

Life Is Suffering — And That’s Not a Problem

This week, I’m unpacking one of the simplest and most profound teachings I've come to love:

“Life is suffering.” (Thank you, Buddha.)

I used to find this quote depressing. But now? It’s comforting. It reminds me that what we call “struggle” is actually just… life. And that there’s nothing wrong with us when we’re in pain, anxious, or finding it hard to brush our teeth.

In this episode, I share:

• Why this quote no longer feels heavy — it feels freeing
• A simple mental fitness practice I use to shift from catastrophic thinking to embodied awareness
• The connection between grief, anxiety, and pattern recognition
• How I work through difficult emotional states using curiosity over judgment
• The link between low-level grief and avoidance — and what happens when we finally name what we’re feeling

If you’re in a moment (or month) where things feel hard, I hope this offers comfort. You’re not broken. You’re alive. And none of us are doing this life thing alone.

Burnout, Motherhood, Radical Self-Trust & the Unexpected Gifts of Slowing Down.

Trusting Myself Was the Hardest (and Best) Thing I’ve Ever Done.

This week, I’m joined by my original co-host and dear friend Pia Crofton for a deeply honest and nourishing conversation about what’s unfolded for both of us since we last shared the mic.

We speak about:

• Pia’s journey navigating her son’s severe eczema — and the radical responsibility she took to find healing through food, not pharmaceuticals
• What it really means to listen to your gut — when the world is screaming at you to do the opposite
• The quiet burnout of modern motherhood, and reclaiming worth outside of work
• Taking a sacred pause from the hustle, even when your ego is screaming “you’ll fall behind”
• Letting go of old identities, reshaping your career, and softening into what’s true now

This episode is a love letter to women who are doing too much, doubting themselves too often, and craving a gentler way. It’s about grief, motherhood, nourishment, female friendship, and the courage it takes to say:

“I don’t need to prove anything anymore.”

There’s so much in here for anyone walking through uncertainty — and for those quietly rebuilding a life that actually feels good to live.

Healing After Loss, Moving Beyond Survival Mode & Rebuilding Your Energy from the Inside Out.

Series 4 is here — and with it, a new chapter.

This episode is a personal one. I’m sharing what’s been unfolding behind the scenes — from the unexpected break between seasons, to big shifts in my business, to the deeper internal work I’ve been doing around identity, ego, grief, and growth.

Here’s what I open up about:

• Why I’ve decided to bring everything in my business under my own name (and what that means for this podcast)
• The pattern of perfectionism and how it was holding me back from simply starting
• What it actually means to move from survival mode into creation mode — and how I knew I’d made that shift
• The low-level anxiety I didn’t even realise I was carrying, and how it was shaping my energy and self-talk
• Grief, exhaustion, and the judgment we place on ourselves when we’re just trying to get through

I also share the two questions I return to again and again — for myself and with clients — when I’m feeling disconnected, anxious, or overwhelmed.

If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in judgment, struggling to “just get on with it,” or losing sight of how far you’ve come, this one’s for you. This is a reminder to be a little bit kinder to yourself — even when it feels uncomfortable to do so.

Thank you for being here. It’s so good to be back.

Avoiding conflict doesn’t make it go away. Avoiding talking about something 'hard' won't make it magically disappear. Avoiding difficult conversations drains your energy, keeps you in victim mode, and robs you of real connection.

In this episode we’re unpacking emotional avoidance—how it shows up in relationships, leadership, communication, and your inner world. Whether it looks like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or staying silent when it's actually time to speak up, this is about getting honest. Starting with yourself.

Today we're talking about:

• How avoiding conflict creates emotional burnout
• Why being “nice” isn’t the same as being kind (or honest).
• The connection between avoidance and people-pleasing.
• What happened when one client faced avoidance head-on—and changed everything.
• And how I’m breaking my own avoidant patterns in real time

This episode is for you if you’ve been:

• Holding back in a relationship.
• Avoiding hard conversations.
• Stuck in the loop of “I’ll just get over it”
• Or wondering why things feel off, but can’t quite name it.

You can’t change what you won’t name. Let’s talk about the truth you’re avoiding—and what happens when you stop.

Let’s talk about the kind of honesty that clears the noise—and the people-pleasing.

In this episode I dive into what ruthless honesty looks like inside our relationships: the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways we waste energy on half-hearted connections, and how to shift into real, mutual, meaningful connection instead.

We explore friendship dynamics, flaky communication, and the emotional weight of relationships that feel like obligation instead of alignment. I also share how two new friendships came to life through simple, honest connection

If you’ve been feeling lonely, disconnected, energetically drained, or stuck in surface-level relationships, this episode is your cue to check in.

Who actually lights you up?

Where are you still pretending?

And what could shift if you stopped half-arsing it?

Time to get honest—with them, and with you.

Ever find yourself hijacked by someone else’s bad mood—even when your day was going perfectly fine?

In this episode of She’s Electric, I share a very real story (straight from my own kitchen) about how quickly we can shift from peace to pain-in-the-ass mode when we start making other people’s emotions our business.

My inner Judge, Victim, and Controller all make a guest appearance in this one—proof of how easy it is to get swept up in someone else’s energy.

The real work? Spotting the pattern, regulating your own nervous system, and choosing to stay in your lane.

If you’re tired of spiraling every time someone around you is in a mood, this episode is your invitation to drop the judgment, protect your energy, and lead with compassion (before you totally lose the plot).

We've all heard it a million times, but what does "just be yourself" actually look like in business?

I'm sharing the moment this cliché became my business strategy.

The moment I stopped trying to get it right and be 'perfect' and and started showing up as myself. What happened next was a flood of the exact affirmations I'd been desperately wanting to hear for years.

Turns out, when you stop performing and start being real, people actually see you.

If you're tired of trying to fit into someone else's version of success, this one's for you. Authenticity might be the only competitive advantage that matters.
