012: Tiny Steps, Big Dreams
Do you ever feel stuck when life’s endless to-do lists and responsibilities pile up, leaving little room for your goals and dreams?

In this episode of Our Stories Within, I share the concept of nourishing the dream—a gentle, powerful reminder that even micro-moments of intention, action, or thought can keep your dreams alive and moving forward. From my own chaotic reality of packing up my life for a move abroad to the conversations I’ve had with clients this week, we explore: Why big leaps aren’t the only way to achieve success How to reframe slower progress as meaningful momentum The importance of acknowledging tiny steps when the big ones feel out of reach How nourishing your dream—even in micro-moments—can unlock lasting change This episode is a compassionate invitation to reflect on how you’re keeping your dreams alive, even amidst life’s busiest seasons.

011: The Real Reason Coaching Works (It’s Not What You Think)
When you think about coaching, what comes to mind? Most people focus on the transformation - the big changes, the bold actions, the new outcomes. And while those are undoubtedly powerful, today, I’m pulling back the curtain on something even more impactful. In this episode of Our Stories Within, I share what I believe is the true magic of coaching - and it’s not what most people expect. It’s about creating a space so safe, so free of judgment, that you can finally let your guard down and just be. Because when you allow yourself to show up fully, raw and unfiltered, everything begins to shift. I’ll share stories from recent coaching sessions that highlight how this kind of safety isn’t just healing - it’s transformative. We’ll explore: Why it’s not always about solving problems or setting goals The real reason vulnerability unlocks clarity and courage How the right support system can help you face the unspoken truths you’ve been avoiding Why creating a non-judgmental space is the foundation for meaningful change If you’ve ever wondered what truly makes coaching life-changing - or if you’re curious about how to move beyond surface-level progress - this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible when you feel deeply seen and supported. If you’re ready to experience this kind of support for yourself, I’d love to invite you to book a connection call. It’s a chance to explore whether coaching is the next step in your journey - and to start building the space for your transformation.

010: Creating Space: Redefining Success Beyond Busyness
Welcome back to Our Stories Within! In today’s quick yet powerful episode, I’m sharing a message inspired by recent coaching sessions and my own life’s whirlwind. As I stand on the brink of a major move, I’ve been reflecting on how easy it is to let busyness and the endless hustle take over our lives. This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself the big questions: What do you actually want? How do you want to spend your time? And how can you protect that time against the pressures of ‘busy’? In this episode, I dive into: Why busyness and hard work are often worn as badges of honor, but might actually be holding you back The difference between being ‘successful’ and being fulfilled How to make space for what matters most without letting guilt or resistance get in the way Practical steps to reclaim your schedule and align your time with your values The challenge of moving from over-scheduling to intentional, joyful living This episode is your reminder that it’s not just about what you’re doing; it’s about how you’re living. Let’s make sure you’re not missing out on the life you truly desire by letting busyness crowd out what’s essential. Looking for more support?

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a packed schedule or a relentless pace of life? In this episode, I’m sharing the powerful question that has completely changed how I approach even my busiest days.

08: The Art of Being Alone
Ever feel like life has you constantly in motion, with no time to pause, reflect, or just be with yourself? In this episode of Our Stories Within, I dive into the surprising power of intentional alone time. While was about seeking support, today’s episode explores the flipside: the essential moments when going solo can offer profound clarity, creativity, and connection. Whether you’re navigating high-stakes professional decisions or simply trying to reconnect with your personal path, spending intentional time alone can be transformational. I share insights from my coaching sessions this week, showing how this practice can be just as crucial for executive leaders as it is for individuals looking to ground themselves in their personal lives. We explore: Why intentional alone time can unlock solutions that busyness keeps hidden The difference between distraction and true solitude How to “zoom out” from the noise and check in with yourself on a deeper level Simple steps to create more meaningful solo time that nourishes rather than drains Practical prompts to help you tap into your inner voice, even when life feels chaotic If you’re feeling pulled in too many directions or constantly plugged into other people’s needs, this episode is a reminder that reconnecting with yourself is not a luxury but a necessity. Join me as we unpack why solitude - when used wisely - can be one of the most powerful tools to guide you toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling. Looking for more support?

Do you ever find yourself saying, “Let me think about that,” or “I’ll get back to you,” only to end up carrying the mental load alone? If so, today’s episode of Our Stories Within is just for you! We’re diving into the tendency many of us have to figure things out solo—and how this habit might actually be slowing you down and adding unnecessary pressure. What if doing things together could get you further, faster? In this episode, we explore how bringing others into your decision-making process can lead to quicker, clearer solutions and less stress. Today, we’re discussing: The common pattern of overthinking and how it impacts your mental load How to recognize when doing it alone is costing you time and energy The benefits of collaborative problem-solving and external processing Simple strategies to shift from solo decision-making to supported action The power of having a coach or a trusted person in your corner to accelerate clarity and ease Remember, you don’t have to carry it all alone.

05: The Power of Self-Talk: Transforming How You Speak to Yourself with Joanne Bell
How often do you pay attention to the way you talk to yourself? Could those everyday thoughts be holding you back more than you realise? In today’s episode of Our Stories Within, I’m joined by the incredible Joanne Bell, a fellow coach and advocate for transformational self-talk. Joanne shares her powerful story of moving from harsh self-criticism to loving self-talk, and how making this shift changed her life and opened up possibilities she never thought were possible. In this episode, we discuss: How to identify the hidden self-talk patterns that could be limiting you The simple, yet powerful technique Jo used to pull herself out of the darkest moments of her life Why transforming self-talk isn’t about being positive How self-talk impacts every part of your life, from personal growth to decision-making A practical journaling exercise to help you get started on shifting your inner dialogue today How Joanne and I use self-talk to reframe doubt and fear into self-support so we can take bold action in life If you’ve ever wondered how to break free from negative self-talk or felt overwhelmed by that inner critic, this episode will give you the tools to start changing your relationship with yourself - and your life.

04: Letting Go: Embracing The New You
How do you respond to change in your life? More specifically, how do you handle changes within yourself that you may not even notice? In today’s episode of Our Stories Within, I’m guiding you through a reflection on the personal shifts we often overlook—the ones where our behavior has changed, but our self-image hasn’t quite caught up yet. This lag in recognizing who we’ve become can hold us back from fully embracing the growth we’ve already created. I’m diving into: The phenomenon of change lag and how it can keep us stuck in old stories Why reflecting on and celebrating growth is crucial in solidifying change A beautiful client transformation, illustrating the power of letting go of past limitations and fully stepping into the new self How to navigate the space between who you were and who you are becoming with intentionality and grace The journey of personal growth doesn’t just happen overnight—it’s a process of unhooking from old patterns and welcoming in the new you. And trust me, the rewards are beautiful, surprising, and liberating. If you’re finding yourself stuck between the old version of you and the new one you’re becoming, let this episode be your reminder that change is possible, and it’s already happening. Celebrate it, reflect on it, and let go of any lingering self-perceptions that no longer serve you. Looking for more support? If you need help bridging that gap between where you are and where you want to be, coaching might be the answer.

068: Judging Others? What It Tells Us About Ourselves
Do you often judge others? Is that ok? What might it mean about you? And why does it feel so icky when you realise that’s what you’ve been doing? These are the questions we’re exploring today! Two clients brought their experiences of judging others to our coaching sessions this week, so I’m bringing those conversations to you. Whilst on one level, judgement of others is very predictable. It’s how and why it presents itself, what that tells us about ourselves, and what we can do to reduce the ickiness - that’s the really interesting bit! So in today’s episode of Our Stories Within, we’re exploring all things judgement, including: A personal example of judgement and what it told me Our primal need for judgement What judging others tells us about our relationship with ourselves The difference between judgement and opinion A helpful tool to use to challenge your judgements and a real-life example of how I used it with one of my clients For help reigning in judgement, check out or ping me an email for help finding clarity on your judgements: Or to have more players in your team, join us at to make changes, be supported by myself and fellow CL coaches, and feel all the ups and downs of life with other extraordinary women treading the same path!

067: Story Time: A Promise Delivered
It’s story time and I’m celebrating the delivery on a promise I made to myself 10 years ago! I’m sharing a little bit about my journey through coaching, from a place of feeling a bit lost and unsure of who I was becoming to finding direction and delivering on my dreams. I know I’m not alone in how I felt pre-coaching. I was changing, what I wanted was changing, and my self-worth was being challenged at every corner. But from a place that felt so lonely at the time, the most magical things have happened! In today’s episode of Our Stories Within, I’m sharing: How I went from feeling lost to finding my spark again The moments (and people) along the way that held space for me The doubling down on a dream The promise I made myself 10 years ago and how that could help you today! To find out all about the amazing space created just for you and fellow inspiring women, head over to our shiny new !

066: Define Your Finish Line for Everyday Wins
Have you ever slowed down enough to realise that everything you’re working towards, everything you’ve wanted to be, do, or see is already here? We’re so often running towards a future goal but have you ever stopped to ask yourself exactly where you’re running to? Or what it will look like and feel like when you get there? Being specific with how it would look and feel can open us up to the fact that we may already be enjoying some of the success we’re striving for. Right here, right now. And we’re robbing ourselves of enjoying that success! I get it - it can be hard to give yourself permission to take joy and light in life when there’s so much pain and suffering around us. I’m here today to encourage you to hold both - both buoyancy, lightness, and joy, as well as pain. Today’s episode of Our Stories Within is your guide on how to do just that. We’re exploring: The importance of examining what you’re running to (or from!) in the invisible race against yourself Examples of how to release and regulate when the world is dragging you down A timely quote from Tony Robbins How to be in a loving relationship with yourself Getting crystal clear on your finish line to bring everyday wins to the here and now and stay aligned in the face of adversity For support on building a compassionate relationship with yourself, or getting clear on what your finish line looks like, the Chasing Lobsters coaches and I are here to guide you every step of the way through our wonderful group coaching: I’d love to hear if this (slightly gloomier than usual!) episode resonated with you and feedback is always welcomed and taken with love at: You can also connect with me here: On Instagram: On Facebook: On the web: Apply to be coached on the podcast: Learn more about coaching: Book a connection call with me:

065: Taps and Drains: Managing Your Flow of Energy

So that’s exactly what I’m going to do! I’m inviting you to do the same and gift yourself the kindness of listening to your energy and what you need (and don’t need!).

064: How To Get Out Of Your Own Way And Move Beyond Internal Resistance
Resistance. It gets in the way, blocking us from being who we want to be or doing what we want to do. And it’s a sneaky little thing! Unfortunately, coming up against resistance is a natural part of the process of self-development and it presents itself in all kinds of yucky ways. You go about your life making the same pattern of choices time and time again even when you don’t want to, unaware of whatever’s creating resistance and preventing you from making choices more aligned to who you want to be. Frustrating isn’t it?! Today’s episode of Our Stories Within is a simple hack (or rather a broader understanding!) of resistance so you can manage it - and stop it in its tracks - until you’ve done the deeper, inner work to keep it in check completely! We’re discussing: How to recognise patterns of resistance How resistance can present itself in your brain, body, and behaviour An example of how resistance shows up in my life every single Wednesday 🤦♀️ (I’m working on it!) Your two-step hack to take the power away from resistance and move beyond it The yummy benefits from addressing the resistance in your life!

063: I Learned My Lesson From Something I Took for Granted…
What have you been putting off or taking for granted? Shame be gone - we all do it! Health, fitness, a relationship, a job, leadership skills… we can take them all for granted. But if we neglect certain arenas too much, it may come back to bite us in the bottom. And it can hurt! I’m airing my embarrassment today and sharing the thing I’ve been neglecting recently (and for longer than I care to admit!) and how it came back to bite me! The potential future consequences of taking these things for granted are often far greater than tackling the hurdle here and now. And sometimes those hurdles are actually little molehills, my friends! Today's episode of Our Stories Within is your prompt to re-engage with whatever you’ve been taking for granted. We’re exploring: How to identify arenas in your life that you’re taking for granted or neglecting The stories you’re telling yourself that are giving you the permission to take that thing for granted Questions to ask yourself to identify where else it might be happening and what you can do about it How to prioritise all the balls you’re juggling so you don’t drop the glass balls! How we can use this information to tell us where to deposit our attention, time, energy, and commitment And a little bit of accountability (see below!) If today’s episode has resonated, don’t feel you have to solo it! Use me as your very own accountability coach over on Instagram and tell me: The thing today’s episode highlighted you’re taking for granted The commitment/action you’re taking to change the needle The date by which you’re going to do it!

062: Your Strengths; Find Them, Air Them, Let Them Shine!
Too much time is occupied by our inner critics and not enough time given to our inner advocates. Too often do I hear ‘I need to get better at X’ or ‘I’m not very good at Y’ without dedicating equal airtime to celebrate (and appreciate!) our strengths… something that has as much - if not more - importance in our journey of growth! So, today, my friends, I ask you: What are you already doing really well? Let’s acknowledge those innate gifts that live deep inside you and come so naturally to you. And let’s polish them up so they shine even brighter! As a counter to last week’s episode of Our Stories Within exploring bouncing back from ‘failure’, today's episode is recognising and celebrating our greatest qualities to help us grow. We’re diving into: Healthy Vs Toxic Drive The discomfort of receiving and accepting compliments! Exercises I use within my 360° Performance Reviews and how you can apply them to finding your own strength blind spots A simple exercise you can use to discover, celebrate, and leverage your strengths so you can go out into the world and shine! How to use your strengths to guide you to a place of pure fulfilment And much more!

061: How to Bounce Back (and Then Forward!) from Failure
When something doesn’t go our way it’s easy to beat ourselves up, feel like a failure, and create ‘truths’ based on what’s happened. And sometimes those ‘truths’ can be downright mean! The reality is, when you’ve had the wind knocked out of your sails, you have two options: you can let that ‘failure’ define you, OR you can learn from it, bounce back, and bounce forward! So, how do you guide yourself away from self-criticism and limiting thoughts and towards a place of learning, self-development and growth? In today’s episode of Our Stories Within, I’m here to share with you the 4 step process I use with myself, my clients, and even my kids, when things don’t quite go to plan! Along the way we’ll be discussing: Fixed Vs growth mindsets How to discover where your fracture lines are The difference between guilt and shame The importance of bringing heaps of compassion to the process And much more!

060: Invest in YOU
Does the thought of investing in yourself give you the ick? The reality is a lot of women don’t feel comfortable investing time, space, energy, resources, and (of course!) money in themselves. You know the biggest challenge when I start working with women wanting to make changes in their lives?… Finding the time for that first call! The initial commitment to start the wheels turning. But, when you’re on the other side of that investment - when you’ve invested time and resources to you - the results are… glorious! When you show up to your desires and take on any resistance felt, great things happen! Today’s episode of Our Stories Within is an invitation to back yourself and invest in the person you want to be. We delve into: Recent successes of real-life women I’ve been working with Different aspects of your life that may be yearning for investment Discernment and the questions to ask before your invest Challenging the barriers getting in the way of the commitment to make changes The nourishing care, attention, support, and results that flow from investing in yourself To set the wheels in motion, contact me for 1-to-1 coaching at: You can also connect with me here: On Instagram: On Facebook: On the web: Apply to be coached on the podcast: Learn more about coaching: Book a connection call with me:

Ever feel like the universe is conspiring against you? Well, you’re not alone! I’ve had a week of it this week: constant resistance, road block after road block, red light after red light.

So, this episode is a short and sweet reminder to cut yourself some slack when life throws everything at you. Even when you get derailed, YOU get to choose your new path forward. And I’m here to share with you how I’m choosing to respond… The episode I had planned for this week will be ready for your ears soon.

056: Presence: Maximise the Return on Investment of Your Time
What nourishes your soul? Walking? Getting out in nature? Cooking? Coffee with friends? Sex? We all try to set up and keep habits that feed us, make us feel alive, or heal us. But often, these habits slowly become a tick in the box, we start to multi-task, or they drop by the wayside completely. How many times have you gone for a dog walk to get away from it all and soak in nature, only to make a phone call, check emails, or listen to a podcast? Our time is a precious commodity, something we don’t get back. If you decide to invest your time in something that brings you joy, I’m imploring you to squeeze every little last drop of juice out of that joy! I want you to feel every single benefit. So, what’s the key to maximising that joy? Presence! In today’s episode of Our Stories Within, we’re diving into: What brushing my teeth in the shower made me realise about my cold-shower habit! Questions to ask yourself on where you’re investing your time, on what, and (most importantly!) why?
