There's something magnetic about people who follow joy like it's their inner compass. Anka is one of those people, and when we connected (very recently), I knew this was a conversation I wanted to have. In this episode, I chat with Anka, an ocean swimmer, traveller and German TV reporter who splits her time between Europe and Perth.

Inside this conversation: How Anka found instant community through ocean swimming Growing up in rainy Germany and how it shaped her resilience Creating a life that follows the seasons Why you don't need the full plan before you take the leap The joy of movement, connection and shared coffees after a swim A shared love of cookbooks, culture and pomegranates And why “goodbye” isn't in Anka's vocab If you're craving adventure, connection, or just know you need ‘something different', this episode will give you that nudge to trust your curiosity and choose joy - even when it makes no sense on paper.

In this episode, Charlotte Rooney and I dive into what it means to balance being an impactful leader while also having a life you love. We explore how leadership isn't just about being in charge but also about empowering others and making time for yourself, which can actually reduce stress and boost your happiness.

It's not just about being the boss; it's about inspiring and motivating your team towards a common goal. 8:03 Delegation and Empowerment: Charlotte talks about how true leadership involves delegating tasks and empowering your team, not trying to do everything yourself. This challenges the old-school idea that leaders need to sacrifice their personal time to be effective. 12:45 Positive Outcomes of Personal Time: We discuss how prioritising personal time and delegating can lead to great benefits like reduced stress, more growth opportunities, better relationships, increased happiness, and a boost in creativity. 25:01 Personal Reflection and Creativity: I share my own experiences about how taking time for personal activities, like vacations, can enhance creativity and bring a sense of freedom both in personal and work life. 28:32 Letting Go and Realigning Values: Charlotte emphasises the importance of creating space for self-reflection and realigning with your evolving values to make choices that truly resonate with your priorities. 30:02 A Poignant Moment: Charlotte shares a touching story about how her nephew's perception made her rethink her life choices, leading her to pursue fulfillment and make a real difference. 33:19 Seeking Supportive Cultures: Charlotte advises that if your current workplace doesn't support what's most important to you, it might be time to look for opportunities that align better with your personal values and goals. 42:58 Charlotte Rooney is the founder of A half Managed Mind, a leadership coach & mentor for women in middle management who're tired of the tug of war between their team, their boss & their family (leaving no time AT ALL for themselves)! Using everything Charlotte has learnt from running emergency responses in war zones, 4 years at McKinsey (a global management company) & scaling a start-up with 300% year on year growth, she teaches women to be impactful, purposeful leaders without sacrificing their identity, values, family OR free time.

'If you don't think you have time to meditate, you need to meditate', is a quote I heard way before I started meditating regularly, and one I've always remembered. In this solo episode, I focus is on the whole meditation thing, breaking down its perks backed by science, my own experiences and those of my coaching clients, while also tackling the hurdles you, yourself might face. I stress the importance of just being there, in the moment, and not expecting too much. It can begin with short moments of stillness, literally seconds, and become it part of your everyday rituals. It gets personal too, sharing how meditation isn't just about getting organised but also about letting go and simplifying things to find your zen, which is where I began.
