From the invisible weight of caregiving and perimenopause to the moment she realised something had to give, Sarah shares what it takes to keep showing up and what it looks like to finally stop doing it all.

In this powerful Mental Health Awareness Week conversation, Angela is joined by returning guest Daryn Mason, a former tech exec turned psychotherapist, to explore why so many men struggle to talk about their mental health.

This special solo episode marks Mental Health Awareness Week with a deeply personal story from Angela Scott. It's not a story of crisis or collapse, but of quiet misalignment and the slow, steady realisation that “not that bad” isn't the same as alright. If you've ever felt like you're performing a life that no longer fits, this one's for you.   Key Themes: The invisible cost of overadaptation in high-functioning professionals Why mental health challenges don't always look dramatic Trust, misfit, and the slow erosion of self in misaligned systems Letting go of performative roles and reclaiming vitality Redefining success through clarity, not consensus   Connect: If this episode resonated with you, Angela would love to hear from you.

What is it isn't really about the money but more about creating a life you don't need to escape from?   In this episode, Angela talks with Linda Ta Yonemoto, founder of Good For You Money, about what it really means to build wealth on your own terms. Linda shares her story of growing up as a child of refugees, navigating a high-pressure career in tech and digital strategy, and ultimately choosing a path aligned with her values. Together they explore how our relationship with money shapes our identity, why high earners can still feel trapped, and how to design a life that's sustainable, not just financially but emotionally. Themes: Financial independence beyond FIRE Values-based wealth and time freedom Identity, status, and the cost of over adaptation Breaking inherited success scripts Redefining growth outside the corporate path Whether you're leading a company or leading your own reinvention, this is an invitation to rethink what you're really working for.

High performance looks great on paper. Until your body starts keeping the score.   In this episode, Aoife Reilly shares how she went from thriving at IBM and Meta to facing a quiet health crisis that changed everything. What began as burnout symptoms turned into a complete rethinking of success, work, and well-being.   We talk about: The physical cost of pushing through and why most people miss the early signs Why Aoife didn't leave corporate overnight — and what changed when she became a parent How she built Juvelo to support leaders who want to thrive without burning out The surprising link between nutrition, energy, and executive performance   This isn't your usual burnout story — it's about making space for health before your body forces you to.   Connect with Aoife: www.juvelolife.com Email: aoife@juvelolife.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aoife-reilly-juvelo/

What do archaeology, the Peace Corps, and SaaS revenue architecture have in common? More than you think, especially when Beth Yehaskel is the one connecting the dots. Beth didn't set out to build a career in tech. She started in the dirt (literally) as an archaeologist. But her love of writing and curiosity about people took her from field reports to technical writing, and eventually to customer success, go-to-market strategy, and coaching executives across the globe. In this episode, we talk about how to spot the systems and patterns that hold businesses (and careers) back, and why stepping away after a bad job can sometimes be the best decision you ever make.   We also explore: The red flags she missed and what she learned from a role that didn't work Why consulting helped her rediscover confidence and clarity Why AI is about systems, not shortcuts.   If you've ever felt stuck between “I've worked hard for this” and “I'm not sure I want it anymore,” Beth's story will speak to you.   Connect with Beth: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beth-yehaskel-4b71a https://www.elevategtmexecs.com/
