Do you have a lot of ideas and wonder what to do with them? In today's episode, we're continuing the conversation about managing your ideas effectively. Having many ideas is not the issue. How you engage with them is what truly matters. I'll explain how to embrace your nature as an idea generator and how to decide which ideas to focus on and which ones to let go of.

I'll also share why letting go of some ideas can create space for the ones that really align with your goals. By the end of this episode, you'll have practical strategies to help you decide which ideas are worth pursuing and how to focus on the ones that matter most. Managing your ideas is about being intentional and choosing what fits your long-term vision.

What if the effort you're putting in right now is counting for far more than you realise? In this episode, I'm talking about what effort actually looks like in winter and why this season often gets misunderstood. When motivation feels lower, progress looks smaller, or everything seems to require more energy, it's easy to assume you're falling behind. I want to offer a different way of understanding what's really happening when things feel heavier.

I explore why winter effort rarely comes with instant rewards and how that can distort your perception of progress. This episode looks at the danger of measuring winter work with summer expectations, and why doing so can lead you to underestimate yourself and question whether your goals are working. Winter isn't just about the calendar. It's any season where capacity is reduced, margins are tighter, or life is asking more of you than usual.

Have you ever reached the end of a busy season and thought, next time I want this to be easier? In this episode, I'm sharing a simple process you can use to capture what actually worked for you while it's still fresh, instead of forgetting and repeating the same patterns again. This is about learning from your own lived experience so you can support yourself better the next time you face disruption, change, or intensity.

I use the holiday season as a practical example because it compresses so many pressures into a short space of time. Routines change, demands increase, and familiar dynamics resurface. That makes it a rich source of information about how you function, where you've grown, and where support is still missing. I walk you through how to review a period like this with honesty and curiosity, so you can recognise both your progress and the places where different choices would help.

What happens when your vision for the future feels confusing or unreasonable, or like it's been borrowed from someone else's life? These are the kinds of questions that came up when I delivered Design Your Decade, a three-day intensive where we zoom all the way out to a 10-year vision and then bring things back sharply into focus.

In this episode, I'm sharing a selection of questions from the bonus Q&A recording that was created after the experience. We cover everything from how to interpret a visualisation that didn't match what you expected, to navigating the difference between fear and intuition, to staying connected to your vision when your energy inevitably shifts throughout your cycle. This is the kind of coaching that helps you tell the truth to yourself without collapsing or outsourcing your authority.

Are you setting goals that are big enough to challenge you and stretch your identity? In this episode, I'm diving into the difference between big goals and bold goals, and why this distinction is crucial for your growth in 2026. Bold goals require more than just a measurable outcome. They demand a shift in who you are as you work toward them.

I'm exploring why many capable people end up creating goals that don't really change them, even if they're technically big. You'll learn how bold goals ask you to lead yourself differently, challenge old habits, and confront the version of you who's been playing small. Ready to challenge the status quo and move toward a bigger, bolder version of yourself in 2026? This episode will show you how.

What changes when you start treating yourself with compassion instead of constantly pushing through? In this episode, I'm joined by one of my Powerful members, Phyllis, for a conversation about self-compassion, identity, and what it can look like to understand yourself in a new way. Phyllis shares her experience of receiving an ADHD diagnosis and how coaching supported her through the assessment process and the emotional shifts that followed.

This conversation also looks at what it means to honour your needs without justification or apology. Phyllis shares how self compassion has shaped the way she responds to stress, makes decisions, and communicates with others. Whether or not ADHD is part of your story, this episode offers a grounded example of what it looks like to stop fixing yourself and start supporting yourself instead.

What if the goal you set made failure impossible? In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Newson, one of my long-time members from Powerful, who shares her experience of working with the goal of being okay with getting things wrong. Heather takes us through her journey of navigating perfectionism and how embracing imperfection has shaped both her personal and business life.

Heather's story is a powerful example of how staying committed to big dreams can lead to growth, even when things don't unfold as quickly as expected.

What happens when you stop choosing between doing everything yourself and relying on someone else? In this final instalment of my three-part series, I am looking at the middle place where you can hold yourself and allow others to hold you as well. This is where relationships and collaborations become stronger because you are no longer operating from the extremes that keep you isolated or overly dependent.

Interdependence is the point where mutual support, shared decision-making and healthy boundaries can flourish. You will learn how to recognise where you are overdoing independence or dependence in your relationships and how to shift those patterns. This work is practical and steadying and will help you build relationships that feel supportive in both directions.
