Project You Pep-Talks

In today's Pep-Talk I decided to dive into the juicy topic of identity and the roles we wear in life - at home, work, in our relationships, in community. Sometimes these roles serve us - allowing us to interact with the world in ways that make us come alive. But sometimes they don't. And when we find ourselves going through transitions in our lives, often what you'll find is that at the core of it...

This week we arrive at the midway point of the year. For those of you with a Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026 journal it is time to open it up and do your Quarterly Check-in - and if you want to add an extra layer of depth and inspiration to the experience, come and join me and other Goodbye, Hello fans in the Project You Club, as we do it together tomorrow evening (UK time) ​ here ​ . But before we get i...

This week on the podcast I'm talking about...my right arm. It's more interesting than it sounds, promise 😂 I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like aches, pains and illnesses that I go through, are my body's way of giving me an important message that something is out of balance in my life. I'm a big believer that that is what burnout is all about. That it's your body and your brain's way...

Over the past month or so, as I've been navigating this big career/business transition, I've noticed something unexpected has happened to my ambition. It hasn't disappeared, but it's been completely dismantled and has re-rooted itself somewhere completely different. And it wasn't conscious. It just seemed to happen as I journeyed through the ring of fire I talked about in last week's episode. Look...

A few weeks ago, I found myself having a panic attack. On my hands and knees, on the kitchen floor (where all my panic attacks seem to happen). The reality had finally hit me: the way I'd been running my business for the past 20 years was no longer working in the way it once did. I'd tried so hard to hold it all together for the past few years, to keep it from breaking. But with AI and the rising...

Hello lovelies, This week on the Project You Pep-Talk podcast I’m diving deep into the topic of transitions: ✨ Why we need to embrace change and uncertainty if we want to create lives we want to live ✨Why transitions always begin with an ending ✨ Why you can’t avoid the “messy middle” - you gotta go through it ✨ Why we need to embrace uncertainty and get comfortable with the unknown ✨The cate...

Ooh I'm excited for you to listen to this week's Pep-Talk! I felt so fired up when I was recording it and I'm hoping that it will get you feeling fired up too 🔥 Because over the past couple of weeks - since the 5 Day Energy Reset actually - I’ve been doing really small, simple things to boost my energy - above all my Motivational Energy. And I really do mean simple stuff: a bit of journaling, a b...

Five years ago this week, my book Burnt Out - the exhausted person's six-step guide to thriving in a fast-paced world - was released into the world. Here I am proudly clutching all four versions - English, Mandarin, Norwegian and Dutch. I am so proud of this book and how it has helped people over the years. But five years on, I've been asking myself: would I write the same book today? Or would I t...

I have TWO exciting announcement to share with you today - one of them kicks off next week and I think you're you're going to love it! The first announcement is that I've set myself a goal for 2026 to help 1,000 people reclaim their energy! 🥳🥳🥳 Every single time I say it out loud, I feel a flutter of excitement, because honestly, so many of us are running on empty and have just accepted that as...

TAKE THE QUIZ I came up with the burnout archetypes while I was writing Burnt Out . I’d noticed that people don’...

However,  while I am a big fan of harnessing that Spring energy to get started on new projects and plans, let me give you a loving word of warning:  please  remember that y...
