Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What happens when your biggest strength (your brilliant brain) starts running the whole show… and your heart gets left behind? In this episode, I’m talking directly to my brainy ladies, the high-functioning, hyper-intelligent women who live for numbers, strategy, and solving problems. You know exactly how to fix everything… except maybe yourself. If you’ve built success by thinking your way through life, but still feel disconnected, stuck, or just plain exhausted, this one’s for you.

S3 17 Are You Living Authentically? Is Ego Ruling the Show? – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
Are you living the story you’re selling… or are you quietly faking it to keep up the façade? This one’s a little provocative, soulie, but it’s time. We’re talking about what happens when the story you’re telling the world doesn’t match the life you’re living. In this episode, I open up about ego, inauthenticity, and the sneaky ways trauma can show up in how we lead, build, and “brand” ourselves. From the wellness space to entrepreneurship, we’re unpacking how easy it is to get caught in the performance trap, and how to come home to truth instead. ...

S3 E15 How Trauma May Be Shaping Your Business and Leadership Decisions Part 1 – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
Have you ever wondered if your business decisions are being driven by something deeper than strategy, maybe even by unhealed parts of you?

S3 E14 How to practise radical self-appreciation for high achieving woman – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What if the missing piece in your confidence isn’t about doing more, but about appreciating yourself for what you already do? This episode is all about radical self-appreciation. The practise of validating yourself, even when no one else claps for you. Because being the go-to woman for everyone else can leave you tired, resentful and wondering when it’s your turn to feel seen. I’ll share why boundaries are the secret to giving without burning out, how small daily wins can transform the way you see yourself, and the difference between ego-driven giving and heart-based...

This is part two of my leadership mini-series, and it’s all about how we show up in the world as leaders, not just for ourselves, but for the people around us. I share why listening is a true superpower, how to create environments where ideas can flow (it’s not just in boardrooms), and why confidence in leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but knowing when to step...

S3 E12 The Inner Game of Leadership Part 1 – The Soulie Insider
Soul Care Healing: The Podcast
What if the real secret to being a brilliant leader isn’t in the boardroom but in the way you wake up, wind down, and carry yourself when no one’s clapping? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talk about the inner game of leadership. Because leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about how you show up in your mornings, your nights, and the quiet moments no one else sees. I’ll share why accountability (not deflection) separates the good from the great, how to let go of past wounds that keep you stuck, and why confidence is a muscle you build one small win at a...

How do you keep parenting, leading, and showing up when grief knocks the wind out of you? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m speaking straight to my high-functioning women who are holding families, businesses, and careers together while quietly carrying the weight of grief.

I share practices that support your nervous system regulation when the waves roll in, from...
info_outlineSEASON 2, EP 13 - Let this be your gentle reminder: you are more than the hats you wear, the roles you hold, and the responsibilities you carry.
In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers and exploring what it means to reconnect with the fullness of who you are — beyond being the caretaker, the achiever, the fixer, or the “strong one.” Because while those roles may be part of your story, they are not the whole of you.
Together, we’ll talk about identity, self-worth, and the quiet grief that sometimes comes with realizing we’ve been living in fragments. And most importantly — how to begin coming home to your wholeness again.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, lost in the doing, or craving deeper connection with yourself… this conversation is a soft landing place.
You’re not just what you do. You’re who you are. And that’s more than enough.
