The Working Womens Podcast

Have you ever found yourself shrinking back, downplaying what you know, or apologising for your experience before you’ve even said the sentence? In this episode, I’m talking about how to start stepping into your authority — especially when you’re in a space where people might underestimate you, dismiss you, or see you as less experienced than you actually are. Because here’s the truth: you do not...

In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by Dr Rita Renee, speaker, author and voice strategist, whose work centres around helping women “come off mute” when trauma, fear or self-doubt has taught them to stay silent. Together, we explore how silence can become a survival strategy, especially for women who have learnt to people-please, avoid conflict, keep the peace or make everyone else comf...

When it’s 31 degrees in your kitchen and your thighs are sticking together, it can feel very easy to lose your shit. But here’s the thing: you can’t control the weather. You can’t control the temperature, the sweat, the stickiness, or the fact that the UK is absolutely not built for this kind of heat. What you can control is the extra drama your brain wants to throw on top. In this episode, I’m ta...

How often do you look at your body and immediately notice what’s “wrong” with it? The size, the shape, the ageing, the aches, the bits you wish were different… In this episode, I’m talking about the way we think about our physical bodies — and why hating, criticising or constantly picking yourself apart is never going to help you feel better, take care of yourself, or create lasting change. This i...

In this episode, I'm sharing something that happened a few weekends ago with my Teenagers & some Apps that we had said they weren't allowed.  It's recorded via my phone whilst I was in the car, so the sound quality isn't brilliant and I don't have the transcript or video for this episode, but I really hope this story helps you & your teenagers. Ride along with me &...

In this episode, I’m sharing something a bit more personal. After avoiding recording the podcast for a couple of weeks, I got curious about what was really going on underneath it. And what I found was shame. Shame around not being where I think I “should” be. Shame around money. Shame around consistency. Shame around that horrible little voice that says, “Who the fuck are you to be doing this?” Bu...

During exam season, it’s so easy as a parent to slip into panic, pressure and control — especially when your teenager doesn’t seem to be revising enough, sleeping enough, eating properly, or taking it all as seriously as you think they should. But here’s the loving truth: you are not the one sitting the exam . In this episode, I’m talking about how to support your teenager through GCSEs or exam se...

Do you ever avoid doing something because you feel nervous, awkward or uncomfortable? Maybe it’s going somewhere on your own, asking for a refund, saying no, having a difficult conversation, or putting yourself in a situation where you might feel exposed. In this episode, I’m talking about why nervousness isn’t actually the problem — and why trying to get rid of it can sometimes make it feel even...

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Kooch Daniels for a fascinating conversation about intuition, chakras and psychic wisdom. We talk about what it really means to live as an intuitive person, how psychic ability can be developed, and why balancing intuition with logic matters so much. Kooch shares her wisdom on spiritual growth, oracle cards, energy, grounding yourself, and learning to trust wh...

Content note: this episode contains conversation about grief, terminal illness, death, loss and the emotional impact of bereavement. In this deeply honest and moving conversation, I’m joined by Emma Gray to talk about what grief really looks like when your world has been turned upside down. Emma shares her experience of losing her husband, the shock of living through grief even when she thought sh...

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Jo Weatherall for a really honest, reassuring conversation about the particular chaos of navigating perimenopause whilst raising teenagers — when, quite frankly, everyone’s hormones can feel all over the place.  Together, we talk about why this stage of life can feel so intense, how Jo’s own journey led her from self-defence and confidence work into supporting...

In this episode, I’m joined by Maria Newman for a really honest conversation about identity, confidence, and what happens when the world teaches you to tone yourself down. We talk about the pressure so many women feel to be less of themselves in order to fit in, be accepted, or be taken seriously — especially at work. Maria shares her own experience of being told she was “too much” in corporate, h...

In this episode, I’m joined by crystal healing therapist Susan McCann for a fascinating conversation about crystals, energy, communication and the messages our bodies might be trying to give us. We dive into what it means when energy feels stuck — especially around the throat chakra — and explore the link between speaking up, self-expression and healing.  Susan shares how her own spiritual awakeni...

In this episode, I’m joined by Sarah Bartlett for a really honest conversation about self-awareness, psychometrics, masking, ADHD, and what it actually looks like to build a life and business that fits who you really are. We talk about how tools like psychometrics can help you understand your default patterns, strengths and needs more clearly — not so you can put yourself in a box, but so you can...

In this episode, I’m sharing something I’m going through in real time - an identity shift that’s been unexpectedly uncomfortable… and massively liberating. For years, I’ve held the identity of the woman who runs the house — the meal planning, the food shop, the washing, the constant mental load of “making sure everything gets done”. And then I had a moment that stopped me in my tracks: My future s...

If you’ve ever thought “I’d love to do yoga… but I don’t have time (or a tidy house, or the right leggings, or the headspace)” — this episode is for you. This week I’m joined by yoga teacher and mum-of-two, Jolanthe de Koning , and we’re calling bullshit on the idea that you need an hour, silence, candles, and a perfectly curated “yoga corner” to feel better. You don’t. We talk about: Why little a...

Ever feel like your brain has its own radio station… and it’s stuck on a constant loop of judgement, doubt and “you’re not doing it right”? This week I’m joined by Jess Nicks — creator of Debitch Your Brain , NLP trainer, EFT tapping practitioner, late-diagnosed ADHD woman, and all-round queen of bringing humour to the serious stuff — to talk about how to turn down Bitch FM and stop letting your i...

Selling doesn’t have to feel grubby. In this honest, practical chat with sales expert Meg Roundell Greene, we unpick the stories that make so many women feel “ick” about selling—and rebuild a values-led approach rooted in integrity, service and impact.  You’ll hear how to reframe sales as a loving invitation to change (not manipulation), and why seeing it as an exchange of value— in their favour —...

In my 100th episode, I’m stripping it right back to the one thing that changes everything: you have a choice.  Not over the weather, your boss or the partners or kids’ mood… but over what you believe and how you feel. Your thoughts aren’t facts, and once you see that, you get your power back.  I'll separate fact from story, name that noisy primal brain, and choose responses that are deliberat...

Love isn’t fluffy. It’s a powerful leadership strategy - especially when you’re fuming.  In this short, straight-talking episode, I break down the difference between emotional childhood and emotional adulthood, why your primitive brain loves to jump into defence mode, and how to regulate first so your message actually lands.  Expect practical, compassionate tools you can use with your team and at...

Brave, calm, and a little bit hungry. In this episode I share why I chose a 7-day fast and what sitting in deliberate discomfort taught me about control, calm, and getting life done without the constant rush. We talk practical planning (decisions made ahead of time = peace), how to meet urges with compassion, and why women should consider their cycle and hormones if they choose to fast. This isn’t...

Grief isn’t just about death. It’s the identity you lose when your role changes, the body you don’t recognise after illness, the relationship that quietly ends, the career you outgrow. In this honest, human conversation, psychotherapist Bonnie Grotjahn and I unpack the unspoken losses busy women carry while trying to keep everyone else happy. We cover: The many forms of grief we’re not taught to n...

Welcome to 2026 — the unhurried edition. January, for me, is for hunkering down: blankets, films and honest reflection. In this episode, I share how I review 2025 (what worked, what I’m grateful for) and why tiny, conscious shifts beat big dramatic overhauls. We explore faith in uncertain times (yes, the real-life stuff with Johnny’s job), how your primitive brain resists change, and the skills th...

Feeling pulled in a thousand directions, lists multiplying, brain whirring? This honest, no-fluff episode is your permission slip to ditch the perfectionism and choose what actually matters. I share three simple, doable practices to help you enjoy Christmas (and your life) a whole lot more: be present, be the best version of you, and be kind to yourself. In this episode Presence over presents: How...

This week I’m joined by my friend and fellow coach, Patrick Fox —men’s life and sober coach— for an honest, practical conversation about emotions, sobriety, and why “feeling it” is the fastest way through.  Patrick shares his journey to eight years alcohol-free, how identity shifts start small (hello, One Year No Beer), and the somatic tools from Compassionate Inquiry that help you let emotions mo...
