Your Friend in the Head

I broke the streak. And before I say anything else I want to be completely honest with you about why - because this conversation is not really about a podcast schedule. It is about something every high achieving woman needs to hear right now. I was doing too much. Not in the humble brag way. In the running on empty, giving everything to everything and everyone and having nothing left for myself wa...

I had been putting it off for months. Telling myself it needed more planning. More preparation. Better timing. All of the things we tell ourselves when the real answer is that we are just scared. And today I stopped waiting and did it anyway. In this episode I am getting into something that every single woman needs to hear if she has been sitting on the sidelines of her own life waiting to feel re...

Can I be honest with you for a second? I have had days where I have felt completely invisible. Flat. Disconnected from the woman I am trying to become. And the temptation to just crawl through the day in the same three comfort pieces with my hair in a disaster bun and zero effort is very real. But here is what I have learned. The days I do that are always the days I feel the worst. And the days I...

She is exhausted. Not from doing too much. From giving too much to people who were never going to give it back. Overexplaining. Over-extending. Saying yes when everything in her is screaming no. Bending herself into shapes she does not recognise anymore just to keep the peace and be liked by people whose opinion should not even matter. And somewhere in all of that giving she completely lost hersel...

I woke up at 3am and I felt absolutely broken. Missed the boxing class. Went back to sleep. And then spent the day doing what I could instead of catastrophising about what I could not. And that is exactly what this episode is about. Because one of the most damaging things I see happen to women who are working towards their body goals is not the missed workout. It is the shame spiral that follows i...

You have a wardrobe full of clothes and nothing to wear. You get dressed every morning feeling like something is off but you cannot quite put your finger on it. You save the good stuff for special occasions that never seem to come. And you wear the same three comfortable things on rotation wondering why you never quite feel like yourself. That ends today. In this episode I am walking you through e...

You wake up with a list that is already too long. By 10am you are overwhelmed. By midday you are in analysis paralysis. By evening you are on the couch wondering how another entire day just disappeared. Sound familiar? In this episode I am getting into the exact protocols I use to stay compliant, hit my non-negotiables and keep moving the needle forward even when I am scaling a company, managing h...

This is the episode for the woman who is exhausted. Not the kind of exhausted that a good night's sleep fixes. The kind that comes from carrying the weight of a life that is not going the way she wants it to while feeling completely powerless to change it. This is not a gentle episode. This is the hard conversation. The one where I tell you that everything in your life right now - the body you hat...

Seven days of waking up feeling tragic. Looking in the mirror wondering who the hell that person is. Going through the motions of the day feeling flat, uninspired and completely disconnected from the woman you are trying to become. Sound familiar? In this episode I am giving you five things - simple, non-negotiable, no-excuses things - that if you did them for seven days straight would completely...

Confidence is not something you either have or you do not. It is something that was buried. By a comment. A look. A moment where you learned that belonging required making yourself smaller. And in this episode I am giving you the full blueprint to dig it back out. This is the masterclass I run inside my Feel Good Naked app - and I am bringing it here because every woman deserves access to this. No...

She messaged me on her only day off. Resistance through the roof. Mad anxiety about going to the gym. Asking if she could just do it at home instead. So I asked her one question - what are you actually afraid of? And that is where it got really interesting. Because what started as a conversation about gym equipment and motivation turned into something so much deeper. Something that every woman who...

You know that feeling when you walk away from a conversation and wish you had said something? You had the thought. You knew exactly what you wanted to say. And you swallowed it anyway because it felt safer to keep the peace. That moment - that tiny quiet surrender - is costing you more than you realise. In this episode I am getting into the conversation that so many women need but nobody wants to...

It must be breakup season... Because the DMs have been flooding in. The check-ins have been heavy. And I know that right now there are women listening to this who are sitting in an apartment that feels too quiet, wondering how something that was their whole world can just... stop. I have been that woman. And I want to talk to her today. Not with the generic get back out there energy. Not with the...

I got the phone call at home. And at nine o'clock that same morning I had to walk into a room full of people and perform like nothing had happened. I do not share this story often. But today I am sharing it because I think it is the most important conversation I have had on this podcast about what mental grit actually is - and where it actually comes from... Because it does not come from motivatio...

Nothing catastrophic happened. No breakdown. No rock bottom. Just a slow creeping feeling that the thing she built, the thing she fought for, the thing she was so proud of... stopped feeling like hers. That is the season Henny is talking about today. And it is one of the most common and least talked about experiences for women who are actually doing the work and building the life. Because burnout...

You are trying. You are really trying. And somehow you keep ending up in the same place. Same patterns. Same self-sabotage. Same frustration. Same conversation with yourself at 11pm wondering what the hell is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. But something is running the show underneath all of that trying. And until you understand what it is, nothing is going to change no matter how good...

Monday to Friday she is locked in. Perfect week. Every macro hit. Every session done. And then the weekend arrives and it all falls apart. Sound familiar? This is the cycle most women cannot break - not because they are weak or lack willpower - but because they are walking into social situations with zero plan and wondering why emotion wins every single time. In this episode Henny calls it out com...

She is marinating in fake tan. It is Thursday afternoon. And she is about to give you the most honest gym consistency conversation you have ever heard. No perfect morning routine. No motivational speech. Just the real unhinged things that actually keep a woman showing up to the gym consistently - and the one thing that matters more than all of them combined. In this episode Henny gets into her per...

The petrol light came on. Then another light. Then a two hour detour into New South Wales. Then a thousand dollar mechanic bill. Then a migraine. Then a full blown ugly cry in the shower. And then she sat down and got the work done anyway. This is not a highlight reel episode. This is what following the plan not your mood actually looks like when everything is on fire and you genuinely do not want...

She is up at 3am. She is scaling a company. She is coaching hundreds of women. She is training every single day. And she is also belting Elton John anthems alone in her car in the dark at 4.45am and dancing around her living room between check-ins. Both things are true. And in this episode Henny is making the case that the second one might actually be the secret weapon behind the first. Because so...

Life does not give a damn about potential. That is the hard truth Henny is opening with today and she is not pulling back from it for a single second. Because this is the conversation that needs to be had for every woman who has a dream sitting in her chest that she keeps planning for, talking about and thinking about - but never actually doing anything about. The planning stage feels safe. It fee...

Nobody talks about this one. The friendship that quietly dissolved. The group chat you stopped replying to. The person you used to be inseparable from who you now avoid calling back. The version of yourself that outgrew people you genuinely loved. Losing friends as an adult is one of the loneliest and most undiscussed parts of becoming a different woman. And in this episode Henny is going there -...

Every woman who has ever been consistent in the gym has one thing in common. She did not always feel like going. That is the part nobody talks about. The consistent women - the ones who show up week after week and actually get the results - are not more motivated than you. They are not less tired. They do not have fewer excuses available to them. They just removed the option of not going. In this...

She knows what she needs to do. She has known for months. Maybe years. And she is still not doing it. This is the episode for every woman who has started over so many times she has lost count. Who keeps telling herself this week will be different. Who is frustrated with her body, her habits, her life - and keeps doing the exact same things that got her there. In this episode Henny is not letting a...

Everyone is either grinding themselves into the ground or being told to slow down and embrace their soft girl era. And most women are standing in the middle of it completely confused about which one they are supposed to be. In this episode Henny cuts through both sides of the noise and gets into the real conversation - the one about working in seasons, protecting your energy like a weapon and unde...
