What happens when success stops feeling sustainable and your body starts sending signals you can't ignore?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Beshlie Donaldson, Transformational Coach who works with founders and entrepreneurial female leaders. Beshlie helps women who get to a point where what got them here won't get them there.

Beshlie shares her own pivotal moment during COVID, juggling twin boys, a recruitment business, and the realisation that she had somehow ended up at the bottom of her own family's priority list.

She talks about the fork in the road she couldn't see until coaching opened it up, and why she believes we always have a choice, even when we don't realise it.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ Why clients arrive saying "something's wrong" without knowing identity work is what they need

➤ What "a new way of being" actually means and how all the doing flows from who we become

➤ Why some outcomes look the same on the outside but feel completely different on the inside

➤ The role of the body in signalling that something needs to shift

This episode is for any woman who has built real success but feels something deeper calling.

What would it look like if the men in your life stopped performing and started actually living?

In today's episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Morgan Rich, Transformational Coach, Author, and Men's Work Leader, devoted to helping people live from soul instead of performance, teaching presence, integrity, and the art of meeting life with courage and love.

Morgan's path into men's work began at 18 when his father died. Rather than numb the grief, he sat in it. And something woke up. A deep knowing that there had to be a different way of moving through life, one rooted in the language of the soul.

When he looked around for men who could speak that language, guides who weren't pushing compliance or academic answers, he couldn't find them. So he became that person for others.

What I found so compelling about this conversation is how Morgan talks about the moment a man knows he's ready for this kind of work. It's rarely a crisis. More often it's a quiet, inconvenient knowing: the conversation you've been avoiding, the risk you haven't taken, the version of yourself that keeps nudging you. He calls building the capacity to meet those moments "training for the unknown."

He also shared a story from one of his men's groups that gave me actual tingles. Something so simple on the surface, and yet so perfectly illustrative of what becomes possible when men are held, not teased, for showing up with their whole hearts 😊.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ How to know if you're ready for this work, and what stress, conflict, or feeling off-course is really pointing to

➤ What transformation looks like in a men's group, and why one young man's courageous moment became a turning point for everyone in it

➤ The journey that brought Morgan here, beginning with loss at 18 and a search for men who spoke the language of the soul

➤ What "training for the unknown" is, and why stepping towards intensity, not away from it, changes everything

This episode is for any man who's sensing there's a deeper way to live, and for anyone who loves one.

What if the reason nothing is changing isn't that you're doing something wrong, it's that knowledge without embodiment only gets you so far?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Trine Schmidt, Alignment Coach and Licensed Psychotherapist, who helps women go from the old version of themselves to the new, by integrating mind, body and energy to create lasting identity shifts.

Trine works with women who have done the reading, listened to the podcasts, know they are growing, and still feel stuck. The same relationships, the same self-doubt, the same sense that their inner development hasn't quite translated into their outer life.

Her work sits right in that gap, using a blend of mindset, energy healing and what she calls aligned action to shift things at a level that thinking alone simply can't reach.

What she shares in this conversation stopped me in my tracks. The idea that self-doubt isn't something to push through, it's a part of us asking to be heard.

That when we stop trying to override those parts and start integrating them, that's when the real change begins. Her clients have gone from rocky relationships and lost confidence to unexpected promotions, speaking on stages and a quiet, steady knowing of where to go next 😌.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ Why reading all the books and knowing all the things still leaves you feeling stuck, and what integration actually does differently

➤ How energy healing shifts the nervous system faster than mindset work alone, and why that combination creates results that last

➤ What self-doubt is really telling you, and why nurturing it rather than overriding it is the turning point

➤ The ripple effect of inner work on outer life, from career shifts to deeper relationships to a steadier sense of self

This episode is for any woman who knows she has grown but can't quite understand why her outside world hasn't caught up yet 😊.

What if the life you actually want is on the other side of giving yourself permission to want it?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Renee Rendall, Spiritual Coach, Tarot Reader and the Witch behind Sagittarian Tarot and Coaching, who helps women embrace radical authenticity, rebellious joy and deep empowerment through tarot and witchcraft.

Renee came to witchcraft in 2018 after hearing a podcast interview with modern witches, published authors and academics, taking something ancient completely seriously. She didn't know she was allowed to want this.

That thought sat with her for nine months before she dove in headfirst, and she hasn't looked back since. What I love about that origin story is how perfectly it mirrors the work she now does for others: giving women permission to stop living by someone else's rulebook and start creating a life that genuinely feels good 😊.

Her approach blends tarot, astrology, human design and ritual coaching to help women understand the gifts they were born with, the ones they've been quietly taught to hide, and the stories they've been telling themselves about what's possible.

The transformation she described from one of her clients stopped me in my tracks. A woman hemmed in by fear, convinced she wasn't datable, who ended up taking spontaneous day trips around Europe and, in doing so, completely changed who she was showing up as.

That's the kind of shift Renee creates, not by chasing the thing you want, but by becoming the person who's already living it.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ What witchcraft really is, and why so many spiritual women are already closer to it than they think

➤ How astrology and human design reveal the gifts you've been taught to hide, and how to finally let them work for you

➤ Why radical authenticity is the actual magic, and how trusting your intuition changes everything from relationships to business

This episode is for any woman who's spiritually curious, quietly craving more freedom, and ready to stop waiting for someone else to tell her she's allowed.

You're going to every networking event, having all the right conversations, and still not converting them into clients. So what's actually going wrong?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Grace Fogarty, Networking Strategist, who helps female solopreneurs turn networking into a reliable, consistent way to generate leads without sounding salesy.

Grace didn't start out knowing how to do this. She spent a full year showing up diligently to networking groups, visiting different events, doing everything she'd been told to do, and getting almost nothing back.

The work that did come in wasn't aligned, the revenue wasn't there, and quietly, her confidence was taking a hit every time someone said "I'll definitely be in touch" and then disappeared. So she made a decision: either quit entirely, or completely change her approach.

She chose to change it. Drawing on her background as an actor and scriptwriter, she started applying what she knew about storytelling, stage presence and owning a room to the way she networked.

Combined with sales and marketing training she'd done that year, she developed an approach that started generating regurlar income from networking meetings.

And once she realised most people had never been taught how to actually do this, she pivoted her whole business to teach it 😊.

What I love about Grace's framework is how it dismantles the advice we've all heard: that networking is a slow burn, that you just need to show up consistently, that if you give enough it'll eventually come back around.

Grace tells us that those are myths. What networking actually requires is clarity, presence, and conversion. And when all three are working, it stops feeling like a networking strategy and starts feeling like your most powerful business tool.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ The three gaps that cause most people to lose leads at networking events, and how to spot which one is costing you

➤ Why presence matters more than your pitch, and what it really means to show up in a way that gets you noticed

➤ How to convert great conversations into actual clients, instead of watching the energy fizzle out after every meeting

➤ The myths about networking that keep talented people busy but not growing, and what to do instead

This episode is for any female solopreneur who knows networking has potential but can't quite figure out why it isn't working yet.

What if the skills that hold young people back at work aren't about intelligence or talent, but about something nobody ever taught them?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Amit Rawal, Lecturer in Coaching and Entrepreneurship at Bayes Business School and Founder of 1Take Motivation, who is on a mission to help people become more employable, embrace failure effectively, and develop their entrepreneurial skill set.

Amit's story is one of those that stops you mid-listen. He grew up working class, attended speech therapy as a child, and navigated dyslexia and dyspraxia through school.

He could have let those experiences define his limits. Instead, he went on to complete a PhD in entrepreneurial failure, and now uses everything he lived through to help young people find their voice, build their confidence, and show up in the workplace as themselves .

What strikes me about his approach is the emphasis on genuine inclusivity, not as a buzzword, but as something that shapes every question he asks, every phrase he uses, and every coaching relationship he builds.

And because he knows that young people won't always have access to a coach, he's created something they can use on their own: Dream Coaching Cards, a self-coaching tool designed to raise self-awareness, build resilience, and help people get clear on where they're headed.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ Why soft skills are the real differentiator in today's workplace, and what gets lost when we rely on AI to do our communicating for us

➤ What changes when young people go through a coaching journey, from self-belief to becoming genuinely better listeners

➤ How Amit's own struggles with communication became the foundation of his work, and why that matters for the people he serves

➤ The case for self-sufficiency in coaching, and why giving people tools they can use independently is just as powerful as the sessions themselves

This episode is for anyone who works with, supports, or cares about young people finding their footing in the world of work.

What if you've followed all the right paths, done all the expected things, and still can't shake the feeling that you've somehow lost yourself along the way?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Karrie O'Connor, Soul Essence Activator, Multi-Qualified Life Transformation Coach, Psychic Medium and Reiki Energy Healer, who guides spiritually aware women to align with their soul's true essence and lead powerfully as their authentic selves.

Karrie spent 25 years in the corporate world before a chain of "weird, wild and wonderful experiences" cracked her wide open. What followed was a spiritual awakening that didn't just change her work, it changed everything.

She found herself knowing things she couldn't explain, sensing what people were hiding from themselves, and gradually realising that the very tools she needed to heal herself were the ones she'd eventually use to help others do the same 😊.

What I love about this conversation is how honestly Karrie talks about the fear of being seen. The terror of telling former colleagues she could communicate with spirit.

The long period of dancing around it in her content, updating her profile, then changing it back. And then, finally, the decision to just go for it. Because the more she leaned in, the more everything started to fall into place.

In this episode, we explore:

➤ The body signals that tell you you're ready for something more, and why we're so good at talking ourselves out of them

➤ How Karrie blends neuroscience and spiritual practice to create transformation that's grounded as well as profound

➤ What it really feels like to come out as a hidden healer, and why the scariest step often turns out to be the most liberating

➤ The moment clients realise this is who they were always meant to be, and why that realisation changes everything

If you've ever had the quiet sense that you're living someone else's version of your life, this one's for you 😌.

What if you stopped trying to achieve your way to fulfilment, and started with figuring out who you actually are?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Debbie Heiser, Founder and Leadership Coach of The Lit Up Life. Debbie supports high-achieving women who are done pushing and ready to lead and grow from alignment, self-trust, and embodiment instead of pressure.

Debbie's path here wasn't a straight line. After more than 20 years in corporate America, including a senior executive role at Citibank five levels below the CEO, she left to become CFO for a small business owned by a close friend.

Four months in, that friend was killed in a private plane accident. Debbie stayed, helped the family keep things running, and quietly learned what it meant to just figure it out. She started her coaching business as a side gig in 2014, went full time in 2021, and within 18 months had built something profitable and deeply meaningful.

The personal chapters in between, including her mother's death, a divorce after 30 years, and the work of unwinding what decades in corporate had layered over her sense of self, all became part of the wisdom she now brings to clients.

What I love about this conversation is how Debbie holds both the structure and the soul of this work simultaneously. Brain science and transactional analysis in the same breath as feminine flow and deep desire.

And she's clear that transformation requires actual change, something she's watched people resist even when they desperately want the result. The women who come to her are brilliant, she says. They just need help remembering it.

We explore:

➤ Why knowing who you are has to come before knowing what you want, and how high-achieving women lose that thread under the weight of all the roles they carry

➤ The blend of feminine and masculine energy in business, and why structure isn't the enemy of flow, it's what makes flow possible

➤ What transformation actually looks like in practice, from saving a marriage while growing a business, to selling a company in rural Montana and walking into a life only half believed was possible

➤ The inner voices that run the show, and what it takes to let the right one lead

This episode is for you if you keep hitting a ceiling, not because you lack capability, but because the old messaging about who you're allowed to be keeps getting in the way.

What if the fatigue you keep pushing through isn't just tiredness, but your body asking you to finally stop?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Ashleigh Grave, Certified Nutritional Practitioner, Holistic Nutritionist, and Founder of Holistically Curated. Ashleigh helps high-achieving women recover from burnout and find their joy again, and she's also the author of Navigating Dementia Together: A Holistic Guide to Supporting a Loved One with Dementia.

Both parts of Ashleigh's work grew from her own lived experience. She went through severe burnout herself while working in corporate, during the pandemic, while caring for a loved one newly diagnosed with dementia, and while simultaneously going back to school for holistic nutrition.

She describes a burnout so extreme that a 15-minute walk would leave her done for the rest of the day. It was only once she finished her training that she had the tools to bring herself back, and that's what ultimately shaped the work she does now.

What I found so grounding in this conversation is how clearly Ashleigh describes what burnout actually looks and feels like before women even name it. The joy draining out of things you used to love. Still exhausted on Monday morning after a full weekend of rest.

Getting every cold that goes around the office. She's seen the same two patterns show up again and again in the women she works with: people-pleasing, and a deep commitment to doing everything to the highest standard. Together, those two things become a recipe for running on empty.

We explore:

➤ The signs that you're heading into burnout before it becomes a crisis, and why catching it early makes coming back so much easier

➤ Ashleigh's three-phase six-month process, from stopping the burnout cycle and rebuilding energy, to working on the nervous system, to creating habits that mean you never go back

➤ Why the approach has to be individual, because what helps one woman might exhaust another, and why meeting clients exactly where they are is central to how Ashleigh works

➤ Ashleigh's bigger mission: helping women filter through the noise, find what genuinely works for them, and reclaim the energy to do what they're here to do

This episode is for you if you're a high-achieving woman who has been running on empty for longer than you'd like to admit, and you're ready for an approach that actually meets you where you are.

What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't a personal failing, but the result of beliefs you've been carrying for most of your life?

In this episode of The Soulful Catalyst, I'm joined by Lina Gudiene, Certified Hypnotherapist (RTT) and Coach for Women in Burnout.

Lina helps women turn exhaustion, burnout and self-doubt into deep self-trust and a balanced life, guiding them to understand the subconscious roots of why they got there in the first place.

Lina's path into this work is deeply personal. She had her own burnout working in tech, in a role that didn't feel right, and then her father died. That collision of events stopped her in her tracks. She found herself asking: half of my life is already gone. What do I want to do with the rest of it?

That question led her to RTT hypnotherapy, and she describes the training as mind-blowing. She got clients, fell in love with the work, and hasn't looked back.

What struck me most in this conversation is how Lina describes the women who find her. They're high achievers with a strong sense of responsibility, who deliver and deliver and keep going, but somewhere along the way stop resting, stop sleeping, start waking at 3am wondering what's wrong with them.

And often, they don't even call it burnout. They just know something isn't working. What Lina does is help them go underneath the symptoms to find the actual source, and then rewire it.

We explore:

➤ Why high-achieving women often don't recognise burnout in themselves, and how it tends to show up as sleeplessness, exhaustion, and a creeping sense that something is off

➤ How RTT hypnotherapy works differently from talk therapy, going into the subconscious to find the root cause of a pattern rather than managing symptoms at the surface

➤ What the process actually looks like, from guided sessions with a specific question to explore, through to a personalised audio recording that rewires the brain over at least three weeks

➤ Why willingness to explore the past matters, and why the clients who get the most profound results are the ones who stay open and curious, even when surprising things come up

This episode is for you if you're a high-achieving woman who keeps pushing through, even when everything in you is asking you to stop.

If you've tried other approaches and still feel like you haven't got to the actual thing, this conversation might be the one that opens a different door.
