She carries both the heart of an activist and the wisdom of a warrior, which is a core feature of this episode – building business built on a big why and showing up full of integrity.

In this episode we discuss:

• Feeling the burnt that there’s something to be done
• Fascinated by powerful women who overcame adversity
• Crash-landing into motherhood, feeling unprepared for the change-agent motherhood was and is
• Being driven to find answers to 2 questions
1) What happens to a woman when she becomes a mother?
2) Why can’t I slow down?
• Pausing before moving on, instead of skipping to get to the end and asking ‘what else is here?’
• Mixing skills with a strong why when breaking self-sabotage
• Following the rules and learning to break them
• Allowing freedom and permission to be self-guided in doing it your way for yourself and your clients
• Business models that create burnout
• Being afraid to let go of identity
• You always have choices, there’s always something there to support you
• Being a fierce advocate in your own life
• Being successful with less work, the work IS me
• Seeing your learning time as work time
• Being a magnet and paying attention to what you want to be a magnet for
• Activating the unapologetic leader
• Instead of defining success as have, do, be ~ shift it to who do you need to be, what do you need to do from here to have what you want
• We don’t have to make it commercial if there’s integrity and purpose
• Why does this story need to be told? – focusing on the why that’s moving
• Keep going, don’t worry about what anyone else
• Its safe for you to step forward, but it won’t’ all be on your shoulders
• Judgement of the downward spiral and how to begin loving it

• Being called into the bigger problem and the bigger solution, you want to be part of
