Confessions Of An Unapologetic Rebel
This isnât just an interview, itâs a f*cking masterclass in fire, fight, and full-throttle self-leadership. In this weekâs confession, I sit down with one of the most tenacious, multidimensional, beautifully unfiltered women I know Olivia Slay. She's not just built a global brand, she's built it on her terms, from the ground up as an adopted Guarani tribe baby turned opera singer turned screenwriter turned agency powerhouse. And trust me her story isnât just inspiring. It burns through every excuse youâve ever had for playing small. đŁ What We Get Into: đ From Paraguay to...

This solo riff is pure rebel magic. In this episode of Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel, I pull back the curtain on the 15-Minute Manifestation Ritual that has completely transformed my results from falling pregnant after 3.5 years of trying, to collapsing timelines in business, to quantum leaping with secret offers and daily wins. This is not another fluffy morning routine or Pinterest-style journaling habit. This is deep energetic and subconscious recalibration. This is how we wire it in. And yes all you need is a jar, a few post-its, and the courage to stop pretending you donât...

This week on Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel, I sat down with the magnetic, crown-wearing powerhouse Joella Prim â founder of The Refrolution, a movement rewriting the rules of entrepreneurship for women of color. We met serendipitously (aka: the Universe did her thing) at the Go First event â and within minutes, I knew this woman needed a mic in front of her and a stage beneath her feet. This episode is deep. Itâs real. Itâs the kind of conversation most people tiptoe around â and we dove straight in, stilettos first. đ§ What We Really Talked About (No Filter): đ The...

If youâve ever scrolled Instagram, seen someone celebrating their ÂŁ50k, ÂŁ100k, or ÂŁ250k months and instantly felt like youâre behind - this episode is for you. Because hereâs the truth: you donât fail because youâre not âthere yet.â You fail when you hand your power over to metrics that donât even belong to you. In this solo riff, Iâm tearing apart the toxic money marketing that keeps women doubting themselves, diluting their voice, and chasing numbers instead of building movements. đ„ Inside This Episode: The hidden damage of comparison and why chasing other...

In this deeply personal solo episode, Emma jumps on the mic while driving (hands-free and at a modest 4 mph!) to reflect on her emotional journey after attending the recent "Go First" event. Emma opens up about showing up âfeeling pretty crapâ amidst pausing her own upcoming event due to personal needs. She shares the realness of disappointment, the mind chatter that can creep in, and the universal pressure entrepreneurs and visionaries put on themselvesâespecially when making bold, unconventional decisions. What Emma Covers in This Episode: Raw Reflections: Entering an industry...

From thriving as a high-powered solicitor, to losing her career, relationship, and home, to working in the adult entertainment industry⊠and now running a wildly successful coaching business Katieâs story is one of radical self-leadership, boundaries, and brave reinvention. We go all in on what it really...

This is your wake-up call. If you've been building your business, chasing visibility, or making bold moves from that âIâll prove them wrongâ energy⊠this episode is going to shift your whole f*cking frequency. Because ârevenge successâ might light the fire⊠But proving your desires right? Thatâs the flame that never goes out. đŁ In this episode, I riff on the identity shift that takes you from performing to powering. From chasing validation to choosing yourself. From building middle fingers to building mirrors that reflect your highest self back at you. đ„ INSIDE THIS...

This oneâs raw. Real. And long overdue. In this soul-poured solo episode, I take you with me- literally and energetically as I walk home and share the truth about why the work I do isnât just powerful⊠itâs essential. Because letâs be honest: đ You can know the strategy. đ You can think the right thoughts. đ You can invest in all the formulas and templates in the world⊠But if your nervous system is still trauma-linked, still in freeze or survival, then no amount of âknowingâ is going to create the results youâre craving. đŁ This is the episode where I say it...

đ„ Show Notes (The Rebel Cut): Letâs be real. You canât âbook outâ if youâre still booking in to self-doubt. You canât sell out if youâre still censoring the parts of you that sell. In this solo fire drop, I go all in on what it really takes to be the woman who gets flown out, sold out, and booked out not by doing more, but by being fully seen. Weâre not talking surface strategy. Weâre talking mindshit detox, shadow truths, and finally pulling the plug on the performance loop thatâs been draining your power. This episode is a wake-up slap for every woman who's got...

Letâs get one thing straight:
đš Playing small isnât responsible. Itâs not humble. Itâs not noble.
đ„ Itâs SELFISH. Period.
In this fire-fueled episode, Iâm breaking down the real cost of dimming your light and shrinking your power.
You think youâre protecting yourself from judgmentâŠ
But what youâre actually doing is robbing the world of the magic only you can bring.
Every time you hesitate, downplay your brilliance, or wait for âthe right timeâ...
đ« Someone else misses the message, the permission, the activation they need from you.
đ„ Inside this episode:
đŁ Why playing small is the ultimate form of self-absorption
đŁ The hidden damage youâre doing by staying quiet, safe, or ârelatableâ
đŁ How shrinking your power to be liked is blocking your impact
đŁ What it actually looks like to take up space with unapologetic leadership
đŁ The shift that turns fear into fuelâand gets you SEEN, PAID, and RESPECTED
đ„ Rebel Truth Punches:
đ§š âYour fear of being âtoo muchâ is stopping you from giving enough.â
đ§š âYouâre not being humble. Youâre hiding.â
đ§š âYour power isnât about youâitâs about what it does for everyone else who sees you lead.â

Youâve been second-guessing your boldest ideas
â
Youâre tired of filtering your voice to be more âdigestibleâ
â
You know youâre built for biggerâbut youâve been playing in safe zones
