The Daily Reset Podcast

They aren’t separate compartments. They’re four load-bearing parts of the same structure. When one starts to wobble, cracks can appear everywhere. Stress affects your body. Exhaustion affects your relationships. Isolation can drive you further into work. Losing your sense of purpose can make an otherwise successful life feel strangely empty. I know because I tried to ignore the cracks in mine. I t...

There is a dangerous place we can find ourselves in that doesn’t look dangerous at all. It’s called “fine.” Your work is fine. Your relationship is fine. Your health is fine. Life isn’t terrible—but something doesn’t feel right either. The problem is that unhappiness can move us. “Fine” rarely does. In this episode of The Daily Reset , I explore status quo bias: our tendency to exaggerate the imme...

Start with you. For things to change, you need to change. When people want their life to change, they often start by looking at the external world. A different job, a different environment, more time. But real change rarely starts outside of you. It starts with something much simpler and much harder. You are what you think. Psychology and neuroscience both point to the same truth. The brain filter...

Welcome back to The Daily Reset. Today, I want to talk about something that’s all over social media right now, the Lionsgate Portal. If you’ve opened Instagram or TikTok this week, you’ve probably seen people talking about 888, infinite abundance, manifestation, Jupiter, destiny, miracles, and writing down your dreams before the 8th of August. Some people believe it’s one of the most energetically...

Show on post Welcome back to The Daily Reset. Today I want to talk about something I came across on social media. It was a simple image with two columns. On one side it said, things that don’t matter. Other people’s opinions. Comparing yourself to other people. That thing you failed at. Your age. And on the other side, things that do matter. You woke up this morning. Your loved ones. Clean food an...

How are you? Fine. How’s work? Fine. How are things at home? Fine. Fine sounds neutral. Harmless, even. But most of the time it’s not a description - it’s a shortcut. A way of compressing everything you’re actually feeling into something socially acceptable. A way of moving quickly instead of pausing long enough to ask: what am I actually feeling right now? And here’s the danger. When you’re unhap...

Most organisations are under pressure to adopt AI quickly. And most are discovering that providing the tools and the training is the easy half. The hard half is human. Here’s the belief that runs through everything I teach on this: AI adoption isn’t a technology challenge. It’s a leadership and people challenge. I use this technology every day - I’ve built my whole business with it. AI will make y...

I’m not going to tell you what happens in this chapter. I’ll only tell you this: it contains the reason this book exists, the moment that tested everything the daily practice had built, and a discovery about my own story that I only made while writing it - that I’d been counting wrong all along. Listen to it last. Listen to it somewhere quiet. Thank you for making the whole journey with me. When y...

People ask me what I actually do every day. This is the answer - morning, midday and evening, exactly as I live it. It’s also where I make the boldest claim in the book: that your life doesn’t change through breakthroughs. It changes at 11:17 on a Tuesday, in a thirty-second pause nobody sees. Everything in this chapter works with a notebook and a pen. Start tomorrow morning. Get full access to De...

You audit your business. Your finances. Your performance at work. When did you last audit your life? This chapter is the practical turn: four pillars, four honest scores, and the reframe that changes how you read your own results - why your lowest score isn’t your failure, it’s your leverage. Grab a pen for this one. Five minutes of honesty here can reorganise a decade. Get full access to Dear Lor...

This was the hardest chapter to write. It’s about the company my daughter and I built together - the one Richard Branson named his Startup of the Year - and what happened when it ended. It’s about shame, and the difference between guilt and shame that took me years to learn. And it’s about menopause, a brain I didn’t understand until my fifties, and why I spent a lifetime reading collapses as verd...

For most of my life, I thought I was making conscious decisions. I wasn’t. This is the chapter where I introduce you to what was actually running things - fear, perfectionism, people-pleasing, control - and the discovery that changed everything: none of them were flaws. All of them were protection. By the end of this one you’ll be able to hear your own patterns introducing themselves. “Hello, fear...

“How are you?” “Fine.” You’ve said it this week. You’ve probably said it today. This chapter is about what that word is actually costing you - the slow flattening of a life that still functions perfectly while something important quietly disappears underneath. The most dangerous place to be isn’t unhappy. Unhappy demands attention. This chapter is about the place that doesn’t. Get full access to D...

Nobody chooses to drift. By every external measure, my life was working - the career, the companies, the constant forward motion. So why did I feel busy but never present? Productive but exhausted? Successful and strangely disconnected from my own life? This chapter is about how that happens - one unexamined yes at a time - and why it happens especially to smart, capable people whose lives look br...

Every book should have to earn its first ten minutes. Here’s mine. I’d just been made CEO. There was a party. And by the end of it, I couldn’t walk home. I’ve carried this story for years. This is the first time I’ve told it properly - where it started, what it was really about, and why nothing I could put in or buy was ever going to fix it. Start here. Everything else in this book grows out of th...

It sounds like an inquiry. It feels like one. But notice what happens when you try to answer it. Nothing. You sit with it. You scroll. You ask friends. You wait for clarity to arrive the way weather arrives. It doesn’t. Because “what’s next?” isn’t really a question. It’s a fog. And you can’t answer a fog — you can only stand inside one. Here’s what’s actually happening. Your brain processes a vag...

… and it opens with the line the whole session hangs on: Nothing has gone wrong. You’re running a script you didn’t choose. People often call me a pattern spotter — I can usually see the pattern running underneath what someone’s describing before they can. But here’s the honest bit: it took me years to turn that on myself. I could see everyone else’s script perfectly. Mine was invisible to me. Bec...

It’s a real question. The world of work is genuinely changing, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But I think most people are worried about the wrong thing. The deeper risk is quieter. It doesn’t arrive as a redundancy letter. It arrives one convenient shortcut at a time. The first time I visited Silicon Valley I expected inspiration — the place where the future gets built. I thought I’d feel...

Yesterday we named the cost of drift — the tolerance trap, the autopilot effect, how “not that bad” quietly becomes your ceiling. Today we turn the camera around. Not the you on paper — the CV, the roles, the responsibilities. The you underneath that. How you’re actually built. How you’re wired to move. And why so much of the advice you’ve followed over the years — good advice, sensible advice, ad...

Fine keeps everything stable — and it keeps everything small. Nothing feels urgent enough to change, and nothing feels meaningful enough to fully engage with. Psychologists have a name for it: emotional compression. Complex feelings squashed into one socially acceptable word. And it’s not just the hard emotions that get flattened. Excitement, curiosity, pride, joy — all pressed into the same neutr...

Yesterday I opened the doors on Stop Drifting. Start Living on Purpose — six days on why capable women end up living lives they didn’t design, and how to come back. And I started with the one belief everything else this week sits on: The most dangerous place to be in life isn’t unhappy — it’s fine. Think about how often you say it. How are you? Fine. How’s work? Fine. How are things at home? Fine....

You already know your patterns. You can probably name them right now. The relationships that start differently and end the same. The career ceiling you keep arriving at by a different route. The financial habit you’ve promised to fix every January for a decade. You’ve read about it, journaled about it, explained it to a friend. You understand it better than anyone. And it’s still running. That’s t...

Almost everyone I talk to about AI asks the same question first. Will it take my job? It’s a fair question. But it’s not the one that should keep you up at night. The quieter risk isn’t that AI does your work, which it may already be doing. It’s that it slowly does your thinking. It can summarise, analyse, argue, decide — so we hand it more and more, and a muscle we’ve used our whole lives starts...

I’m trying to write my book. I’m in the middle of running a live masterclass. My granddaughter is due any day now. I’ve got a talk at a school the moment the masterclass ends, and I’m rethinking my whole business and marketing strategy on top of it. So if you came here today thinking I have it all worked out — I don’t. I’m in the fog too. And the fog is exactly what I want to talk about. When you...

Bigger targets, bigger resolutions, bigger leaps — and then they wonder why none of it holds. But behavioural science is clear on this one: lasting change rarely comes from the goal. It comes from what you do on an ordinary Tuesday, when no one is watching and nothing feels dramatic. That’s the whole idea behind Balanse. Seven small shifts that compound into a life you actually designed — and they...
