In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Chrissie, the creator of The Mum Boss Method, for a conversation about menopause, identity, and reclaiming your confidence in midlife. Together they explore why so many women feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected during this stage of life, and how it can actually become the moment everything shifts. This episode is a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of anything, and it can be the beginning of your boldest, most unapologetic chapter yet.

Key Takeaways:

The symptoms you’re experiencing might not be ‘just stress.’

Many people write off anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or low confidence as simply being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes these symptoms are signals from your body that something deeper needs attention, and listening to them sooner can change everything.

Sustainable change starts with your identity, not just habits.

It’s easy to believe the answer lies in the perfect diet or workout routine. Real transformation happens when you explore your beliefs, mindset, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what’s possible for you.

Stress impacts your choices more than you realise.

When your stress levels are high, everything becomes harder - from sleeping well to making healthy decisions. Managing stress isn’t just about feeling calmer; it directly influences the habits and behaviours that shape your health and energy.

The power of the pause can change your reactions.

When emotions run high, we often react quickly in ways that don’t serve us. Taking a moment to pause creates space to respond with intention instead of reacting out of stress, frustration, or overwhelm.

Midlife can be a powerful reset, not a decline.

Many people are told life slows down or becomes more limited with age. In reality, this stage can be the perfect opportunity to redefine what you want, communicate more honestly, and build a life that truly fits who you’ve become.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gibbs-Ng, performance coach and host of the Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel podcast. Emma works with athletes, performers and high-profile leaders to help them regulate pressure, trust themselves again and perform at their best when the spotlight is on. In this episode, they talk about losing yourself while chasing success, the pressure entrepreneurs quietly carry, and why learning to stabilise your nervous system might be the missing piece between talent and true performance.

Key Takeaways:

Trust yourself first

So many entrepreneurs lose momentum when they start outsourcing their authority to other people’s opinions. Reconnecting with your own instincts may be the turning point that helps you reclaim your voice and direction.

Pressure isn’t about confidence

What most people call a confidence problem is actually a pressure problem. Learning how your nervous system holds and processes pressure can completely change how you perform in high-stakes moments.

You can lose yourself chasing success

Even when you build your own business, it’s easy to start conforming to industry rules that don’t feel right. Emma opens up about how trying to ‘do it the right way’ left her disconnected from who she really was.

The moment after success matters most

There’s plenty of support for preparing for big moments, but very little for what happens afterwards. Emma explains how the emotional comedown after a big win or performance can be just as important to navigate as the moment itself.

Your desires are evidence

If a dream keeps coming back to you, it’s not random. Emma believes those desires are signals from your future self - proof that you’re capable of achieving far more than you currently believe.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gaskin, an award-winning speaking coach, founder of The Speaking Hub and creator of the SPEAK UP Method. From rebuilding stroke patients’ speech in the National Health Service to rebuilding her own confidence after years of misdiagnosis and burnout, Emma shares the journey that led her to help women stop playing small and start getting paid to speak. Together, Katy and Emma unpack the stories we carry about being ‘too much,’ the fear of judgment, why women are still expected to speak for free, and how to turn your voice into your most magnetic business asset.

Key Takeaways:

Your voice is more than sound - it’s identity

The way you speak is shaped by your past, your beliefs and the stories you’ve internalised over time. When you begin to question those narratives, you create space to speak with more confidence, clarity and authority.

Staying quiet and playing small comes at a cost

Staying quiet to keep the peace or shrinking yourself to fit into rooms will eventually catch up with you. Choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable, is often the beginning of real growth.

Stop over-proving, start owning

Overdelivering and overexplaining can be a sign you’re trying to prove your worth. True confidence comes when you trust your value and allow your work to stand without constant justification.

Exposure isn’t payment, but strategy matters

Not every opportunity needs to be paid, but every opportunity should be intentional. When you align your visibility with your long-term goals, you stop chasing exposure and start building influence.

You don’t have to be the loudest to move the room

Powerful speaking isn’t about perfection or personality type. When you lean into your natural style and let your individuality shine, your message lands far more deeply.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Charmaine, co-owner of Hertford Studios. They talk about what it really takes to build a brick-and-mortar business from the ground up. Charmaine shares the identity shift, self-doubt and resilience that shaped her journey from being made redundant after 20 years in a role she loved, into stepping fully into business ownership. They also talk about running a company with your husband, navigating teenage motherhood alongside long workdays, and the uncomfortable reality that ‘having it all’ doesn’t quite exist in the way we’re sold.

Key Takeaways:

Sometimes what feels like a setback is the start of something bigger

Being forced out of something secure can shake your identity and your confidence. But the moments that unsettle you are often the ones that push you to finally define who you are and what you actually want.

You can be experienced and still doubt yourself

Confidence doesn’t automatically come with years of experience. Real self-trust is built when you stop looking for approval and start backing your own decisions - even when it feels uncomfortable.

Communication is everything in business and relationships

If you’re building a business alongside a partner, assumptions will create tension quickly. Open conversations about expectations, strengths, pressure and support are what protect both the company and the relationship.

‘Having it all’ probably doesn’t look the way you imagined

There is no perfect balance where everything runs smoothly all the time. Instead of chasing an ideal, focus on what matters most in this season of your life and give yourself permission to adjust as things evolve.

Not everyone will understand your next move - do it anyway

When you make bold decisions, some people will question them. Your job isn’t to convince everyone else; it’s to stay connected to your own vision and have the courage to follow it.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with intuitive business mentor Maria for a conversation about manifestation, intuition, and what it really takes to build a business on your own terms. From discovering The Secret during a low point in her life, to leaving a 13-year teaching career, Maria shares how mindset, emotional awareness and energetic alignment have shaped her journey into entrepreneurship. They unpack the science behind intuition, the realities of financial security when quitting a 9-5, the comparison traps of the online space, and why success has to be defined by freedom and authenticity instead of buying into the noise of the online business world.

Key Takeaways:

Manifestation is more than just wishing.

Manifestation starts with awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, not just repeating affirmations. Maria shares how shifting her mindset helped her attract her husband and later gave her the clarity to start her business.

Intuition is backed by science.

Intuition isn’t just a ‘gut feeling’ - it’s your electromagnetic field interacting with the world around you. By understanding how your energy, emotions, and beliefs broadcast outward, you can make more informed, aligned decisions in business and life.

Your mindset and energy shape business outcomes.

The way you perceive yourself and your business impacts what you attract and achieve. Small, subconscious patterns (like talking down your business) can limit growth if left unchecked.

Taking calculated risks matters.

Leaving a secure job requires both courage and preparation. Help yourself out by getting ahead on financial planning, building support systems, and creating realistic expectations when transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship.

Consistency and clarity is more important that comparison

Pivoting too often or listening to outside opinions can stall business growth. Trusting yourself, being consistent in your messaging, and fully embracing your unique approach is key to sustainable success.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to Sam Binks, a coach and part-time social worker, about her journey from burnout to building a business that allows women to expand their capacity and receive more without doing more. We dive into the realities of juggling a demanding 9-to-5 with a passion project, navigating emotional overwhelm, pivoting in business, and learning to truly hold space for yourself, all whilst building your dream life. This episode is all about slowing down, resetting and designing your own ‘five star’ life, as Sam calls it.

Key Takeaways:

Burnout doesn’t discriminate.

Even if you’re passionate about your work, constant over-giving and emotional strain can lead to burnout. Recognising the signs early can save your health and your dreams.

Your past shapes your patterns.

Childhood and past experiences influence how we hold ourselves and overextend. Awareness is the first step to reclaiming your energy and capacity.

Pivoting is growth, not failure.

Shifting direction in your business or life doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it’s part of evolving. Each redirection reveals more of who you are and what truly aligns with your purpose.

Holding more means doing less.

Real expansion comes when you learn to slow down and enjoy your achievements. Success feels better when your body, mind, and environment are ready to receive it.

You’re the biggest barrier to your own success:

Self-doubt, people-pleasing, and waiting for the “perfect time” often hold you back. Acting beyond your daily emotions is where real growth starts.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Nic, founder of Redefined alongside being a practising lawyer who’s also a confidence and life coach. They talk about being single in your 30s, navigating career pivots, and embracing a child-free life without shame or justification. This conversation is about rejecting the ‘one right path’, learning to trust your intuition, and giving yourself permission to build a life that actually feels good, even if it doesn’t look like everyone else’s.

Key Takeaways:

You don’t have to burn it all down.

Fulfilment doesn’t have to come from an all-or-nothing leap. Sometimes the most aligned path is one that allows space for both security and passion.

Being single in your 30s isn’t a failure.

It’s time to reframe singleness as a powerful space for self-trust, clarity, and intentional living - not something to ‘fix.’

Confidence comes from listening inward.

True confidence isn’t about being loud or visible; it’s about knowing what you need and honouring it. Tuning into your intuition can guide decisions in relationships, careers, and life choices.

You’re allowed to want something different.

From choosing single motherhood to embracing a child-free life, it’s time for women to question what they actually want, not what they’ve been told to want. There is no universal definition of success or happiness.

You don’t need to be loud to be powerful.

Trying to fit a mold will attract the wrong people. When you show up as yourself, you naturally call in the relationships, clients, and opportunities that align.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Jade Elana, the keeper of The Soul Salon and a spiritual guide helping women step fully into their truth. We explore her incredible journey from hairdresser to guiding women through deep healing, feminine embodiment, and soul-led leadership. Jade shares the raw, transformational moments that shaped her work, including the challenges of motherhood, surrendering control, and finding freedom in presence. If you’re craving depth, clarity, and a new way to lead in both life and business, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired, aligned, and ready to reclaim your power.

Key Takeaways:

Transformation starts from within.

Before any changes show up in your life or business, true transformation begins with reconnecting to your heart, body, and inner truth. When you align with yourself first, everything else naturally falls into place.

Surrender unlocks your power.

Real strength comes from releasing control and letting life guide you, even through uncertainty or fear. When you stop resisting, you create space for clarity, presence, and soulful growth.

Your body holds the answers.

Every emotion, memory, and insight is stored within your body, waiting to be felt and understood. Tuning in to your physical and emotional signals helps you make choices that support your authentic life.

Depth over distraction.

Surface-level fixes can never give lasting fulfillment. Real change comes from diving into your truth and embracing all parts of yourself. The deeper you go, the more empowered and whole you become.

Lead yourself first.

Self-mastery begins with becoming the witness, healer, and guide of your own life. When you take ownership of your energy and choices, everything else (relationships, work, and impact) flows with ease.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Selen, a London-based Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coach, to talk about her journey from corporate engineer to multi–seven figure wellness entrepreneur. What began as Selen’s personal struggle with gut health, restrictive dieting, and burnout became a globally impactful method that has now helped over 12,000 women sustainably heal their bodies and relationship with food. Together, they explore how Selen scaled a wildly successful membership with an incredibly small team, why perfectionism is one of the biggest growth blockers for women in business, and how trusting your own definition of success can change everything. 

Key Takeaways:

Healing first changes everything.

Selen’s transformation didn’t begin with weight loss - it began with prioritising gut health and nourishment over punishment. When the body feels safe and supported, sustainable results follow naturally.

Sustainability beats restriction - in food and in business

Extreme dieting and overworking may create short-term results, but they always lead to burnout. Long-term success comes from systems, rhythms, and choices that support your actual life.

You don’t need a big team to build a big business.

Selen scaled to multi-seven figures with just one full-time team member by focusing on leverage, automation, and a membership model. Growth doesn’t require complexity, it requires clarity.

Perfectionism delays momentum.

Selen launched her membership before it was ‘ready’ and refined it as she went. Progress comes from moving fast, not waiting until everything feels flawless.

Be selective about whose advice you listen to.

Not all opinions are equal, especially if they come from people living lives you don’t want. Only take guidance from those whose reality you genuinely aspire to create.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Sian, a mindset and breathwork coach, new mum, and now children’s book author, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, burnout, and the reality of navigating motherhood alongside entrepreneurship. Sian shares her journey from running a successful coaching business to making the decision to pause, and prioritise her nervous system, mental health, and family after experiencing postpartum anxiety. Together, they unpack the pressure of comparison, the myth of “having it all,” and why stepping back isn’t failure - it’s self-leadership. 

Key Takeaways:

Your identity is not defined by one role.

Whether it’s as an entrepreneur, mother, or coach. Sian’s story shows that it’s possible (and healthy) to reshape your life when your priorities change without feeling like you’ve failed.

Burnout teaches you what mindset work alone cannot.

Mindset tools like confidence and resilience are powerful, but if your nervous system is overloaded, it will eventually force a pause, whether you planned it or not.

Comparison is a thief of joy (especially on social media).

When you measure your reality against others’ curated feeds, you lose sight of your own pace, your own season, and what actually lights you up.

Stepping back can be the most forward-moving decision you make.

Choosing what feels aligned - like creative work or part-time roles that support life and family - is not quitting, it’s strategic self-leadership.

Seeking help for postpartum stress or anxiety is strength, not shame.

Sian’s honesty about her struggle and reaching out to support shows that asking for help is a courageous and transformative step.
