Rachel and I discuss life with children and the impact it's had on our individual identity. It's really easy to lose yourself. Don't worry, this isn't an I hate my kids episode where we blame everything on them!

It seems to be that society expects a lot from us too. You know the whole 'work like you don't have children and parent like you don't work'. Can we get a balance? Rachel and I think you can

Loving your kids doesn’t mean disappearing yourself.

You’re allowed to want more than survival mode.

Netball isn’t just exercise.
It’s the one place you don’t have to give.

Career takes.
Kids take.
Life takes.

This is why women should hold onto sport.

I LOVED this episode! This dismantles the myth that confident women are born confident. Prepare to feel seen.

Chloe is so modest but to put it bluntly, she won every competition she entered this year! Not only that she guided many people through their first Hyrox competition and got her own solo time under 1.30hr

Kate explains why every runner, every athlete, every confident woman started by doing something that felt pointless.

Small steps don’t feel life-changing.
Until you look back and realise they were.

She is simply amazing and this was a joy! The fact that you are in the show notes means you're ready to know more about her.

Welcome to the Wear the Damn Shorts reboot.

This short solo episode sets the tone for the entire series.

This podcast is for women who are carrying a lot.
Family, work, responsibility, mental load.
And somewhere in the middle of all that, are trying to still feel like themselves.

This series is not about perfection, all or nothing plans, or unrealistic routines that only work when life is quiet.

It’s about real women.
Real lives.
And the small, consistent actions that actually create change.

You’ll hear why this series centres around one core belief
You first, family follows.

Because when you are stronger, fuelled, and supported, everything else in your world works better too. Not through guilt or sacrifice, but through example.

There is a way I want you to listen to this series, not for comparison or pressure, but for recognition. For the moments where you think “that’s me” and realise you’re not alone.

This episode is your permission slip.
To stop waiting to feel ready.
To stop thinking it’s too late.
To stop believing you have to earn the right to look after yourself.

If you’ve ever thought
“I’ll start when life calms down”
“I don’t have the time”
“I’ve tried before and failed”

This is for you.

This episode leads directly into the first guest conversation with Naomi, who shares what happened when she stopped waiting to feel ready and started anyway.

One step is enough.
That’s the job.

In this episode of we dive into self-soothing. It's a powerful coping mechanism that often nudges us toward habits we know aren’t helping us. We'll unpack the science behind stress-driven behaviors and share practical, sensory-based tools you can use when stress hits, so you stay calm, confident, and connected to your goals. I talk about why self-soothing isn’t selfish, it’s often survival. I talk about simple actions like a 20‑second hug or how weighted blankets can trigger actual physiological calm (lowering cortisol, whilst increasing oxytocin).

Reframing self soothing and recharging when we're using useful tool and the extra sense of pride you'll feel on the days where things aren't going to plan.

Delaying isn’t neutral, it moves you backward. Starting anything, even in a tiny way sets everything in motion.

Don’t wait for the “perfect” moment.

Start now.

Your future self, will thank you.

Another episode challenging the point of view that you can just start when the time is right without consequence. The consequence of inaction is larger than most people consider. You don't get to stay in one spot until your ready.

Next weeks episode will be on self regulation as it was raised in today's discussion. Make sure you come back for part 2.
