Episode 17, Season 2: Parenting Around Grandparents - Boundaries & Finding Your Voice

Ever noticed how different things feel when the grandparents or in-laws are around?

The energy shifts, the dynamic is weird and suddenly you find yourself parenting differently - or worse, navigating unsolicited advice, comments, or comparisons. You may also notice yourself subconsciously falling back into old patterns of the child-like version of you.

In this episode, I’m talking all about how to stay grounded and confident in your parenting when grandparents or in-laws are present. We’ll explore how to:

🌿 Set healthy boundaries that protect your energy and your child’s needs
💬 Communicate clearly without guilt, conflict or awkwardness
🧘‍♀️ Stay calm when your parenting style is challenged
💛 Create mutual respect while still honouring your values and needs

Whether you’re managing overstepping boundaries, unhelpful comments, or just the overwhelm of too many opinions, this episode will help you find your voice - and bring more peace back into your family dynamics. A great one for new parents.

Episode 16, Season 2: Mums & Self Sabotage with Becky Stanton

This week, I’m joined by the incredible Becky Stanton - a Manifestation Coach who helps women shift out of self-sabotage and step into their highest potential.

Together, we dive deep into what self-sabotage really looks like for mums and business owners - and how those sneaky patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, or overgiving often have roots in our nervous system, our self-worth, and our childhood years.

Becky shares her powerful SAFE Framework and we explore what it means to truly feel safe to succeed - because whether you’re a new mum, a side hustler, or a multi-millionaire CEO, your subconscious and nervous system are always running the show.

We also chat about:
✨ How to spot signs of neurodivergence and why a diagnosis isn’t always essential for self-understanding. Plus Becky's take on labelling herself.
✨ New motherhood, 'Self-Care Sundays', regulating our nervous systems & our inner dialogue
✨ The importance of finding grounding moments when you’re deep in the parenting trenches
 ✨ Self-worth, energy, and the subconscious layers behind business growth
 ✨ And of course… tarot/oracle cards, psychic channelling and a little bit of woo-woo magic 🌙

Becky also shares details of her current 1:1 voicenote coaching offer - a unique, supportive way to work with her if you’re ready to shift out of fear and into flow.

🎧 I loved this chat, tune in for some true words of empowerment.

Episode 13, Season 2: A Candid Conversation with Candice Mason on Tea, Natural Hormone Healing, Burnout & Parenting Through the Phases

In this honest episode, I’m joined by Candice Mason, founder of Mother Cuppa Tea and certified tea sommelier.

Episode 12, Season 2: If procrastination has become your default tool to avoid, delay, or distract yourself, this hypnosis is for you.

In this episode, I’m guiding you through a powerful hypnosis session designed to help you release the part of you that resists taking action - and reconnect with the focused, capable, unstoppable version of you that’s always been there.

Originally created for a client who wanted to stop putting things off and finally move forward, this session gently unravels beliefs like “I’ll start tomorrow,” or “I’ll never get it all done anyway” and replaces them with clarity, momentum and deep self-trust. There is a focus on being heavily distracted by their phone.

If you want to stop procrastinating on that never ending mental-load to-do list - this is your time to break free from phone distractions and step into flow, confidence and action.

🎧 Listen daily for 30 days to embody the most productive, empowered version of you ✨

Episode 9, Season 2: Reclaiming Intimacy: Dévashi Shakti on Patriarchal S£x & Conscious Change

In this episode, I’m joined by Dévashi - visionary, intimacy confidante, and founder of The Tigress Path®, a pioneering approach to female embodiment and somatic education. Dévashi is also the empathic provocateur behind the Beyond Patriarchal S*x project, sparking much-needed conversations about intimacy, power and collective healing.

We dive into:
🫂 What patriarchal s*x really is (and why it impacts both men & women)
🌺 How couples can begin exploring intimacy beyond patriarchal conditioning
✨ Why embodiment, curiosity & self-healing are vital for personal and collective change
🌀 Dévashi’s kundalini awakening at 19 that set her on her life’s path
📖 A sneak peek into her upcoming book Stop Having Patriarchal S*x and her transformational Bali retreat for women this October

In this conversation I open up about my personal journey as stress + burnout (plus birth trauma) didn't allow space for desire in early motherhood. All these barriers relate to the patriarchy paradigm. I loved this chat & I want you to view it as an invitation to reflect on intimacy, embodiment and the role we each play in shifting the collective consciousness.

Episode 8, Season 2: Amy Grilli on Five Hour Workdays, Fixing the System & Fighting for Parents

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Grilli - co-founder of the Five Hour Club, a job board connecting career-driven parents with progressive employers who offer genuine flexibility. 

Amy’s journey began with a viral LinkedIn post titled “I’m a parent and I don’t belong on LinkedIn”, written after an identity crisis at the school gates. Having taken five years out to navigate new mum life (without losing her ambition), Amy created the role she couldn’t find - and sparked a movement for change in the process.

We talk about:
👶 Why the system is broken & the motherhood penalty (f*ck back to office mandates!)

💻 Building a business that works for parents, not against them

👨 Why 2 weeks paternity leave isn’t enough

📢 Becoming an “accidental activist” and being involved in taking the fight for flexible work to parliament

 🤝 The power of collaboration with charities like: Pregnant Then Screwed, Dad Shift & Working Families

📺 The BBC Panorama Doc we spoke about: Should we still be working from home?

 📊 What’s next for Five Hour Club - from an NHS pilot to coaching masterclasses and consulting on the Employment Rights Bill.

This conversation is for every parent who’s felt the juggle, who's felt like they've had to get demoted in order to earn, who's felt the motherhood penalty and every employer who wants to do better, and anyone who believes work should work for families - not against them.
