Far too often, female founders are sold a linear path to freedom that does not exist. Instagram would have you believe that business growth is like a hockey stick rather than the reality that it's more like a roller coaster. This leaves many purpose-led female founders wondering: What's wrong with me? Why can't I create the business and freedom I long for when it looks like everyone else can? No one's talking about or teaching female founders how to ride the reality of the rollercoaster. No one shows you how to set up the foundations to create freedom in your business and life in an integrated and realistic way. It's for all of these reasons that I've created Steps to Freedom, my brand-new campaign. In this episode of the Hacking Happy Podcast, I want to explore the concept of freedom, what it means to you and how Steps to Freedom can help you make it happen without the BS.

The neuroscience of motherhood. Have you ever suffered from a baby's brain or questioned how your brain has changed since becoming a mother? If the answer is yes, it's time to meet Dr Sarah McKay. Sarah is a globally acclaimed neuroscientist and the author of The Women's Brain Book—The Neuroscience of Health, Hormones and Happiness, and Baby Brain—the surprising neuroscience of how pregnancy and motherhood sculpt our brains and change our minds (for the better). In this thought-provoking conversation, Sarah shifts the deficit perspective we so often hear about how women's brains turn to mush after giving birth to how our brains actually become meaner, leaner and more efficient.

Have you ever considered how much real estate in your brain is consumed by the attachments you hold? Attachment is our way of trying to control uncertainty which let's face it is impossible in a world where uncertainty is the only certainty. Attachment gives away our power, our energy and our precious present time to overthinking. That's why in this week's episode I'm sharing a powerful experiment I tested on myself and with my community in The Present Woman Challenge to help you reclaim your power by creating awareness of how much of it you are giving away to attachments shaped by the hurt of the past or the fear of the future. Come journey with me on what is a vulnerable and profound insight into how our attachments shape our stories and our lives.

In this episode, we explore the power of feeling to heal. I share the concept of compassionate inquiry and how this trauma therapy approach provides a means to start to reconnect with your ability to feel whole again. We expose how suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on our health and happiness, and I share a practical process to help you cultivate a feeling practice for healing. Key takeaways from this episode: Allowing oneself to feel is a powerful way to heal and gain insight into emotions and experiences. Compassionate inquiry is a therapeutic approach that helps reveal unconscious dynamics and liberate oneself from self-generated suffering. Suppressing feelings can have long-term negative effects on health and happiness, and it is important to cultivate a practice of feeling and processing emotions. Practical practices for cultivating a feeling to heal include paying attention to tension in the body, dropping into the body, welcoming and exploring feelings, and integrating the experience through writing.

A new year can often feel like a beautiful blank canvas of possibility for you to paint upon. A canvas where vision, intention and action collide, sparking a meaningful shift toward that which ignites a fire in your soul. As I write these words, I feel goosebumps at the infinite possibilities and the learning that I know will come with trying, even when it doesn't work out as planned. I also ground myself in the reality that in the age of information overload and coaching gurus selling you the world, making a meaningful shift toward living a life that feels purposeful, present and spacious enough to have a meaningful impact can feel complicated. For all of these reasons, the first podcast for the year is dedicated to helping you invest in the support you need to realise your dreams in 2024 with intention and due diligence. I want to ensure that when you invest in yourself, you get what you pay for and make some serious progress. Links & Resources Download the FREE 'How to find the right coach for you' tool here.

A sign to not spend the festive season doing even more self-development and planning for all your success in 2024.

If someone handed you a permission slip today to create the space for the work life balance you seek what would you do? What if your striving to be “better”, a better woman, a better leader, a better mum, a better friend, was moving you further away from being you?

Have you met Balance yet? Ok, so when I say that I'm guessing I sound a little crazy but I'm not. You see I spent many years of my life chasing work-life balance rather than listening to what my body and my mind were trying to tell me and in my corporate career it left me burnt out. It felt like the harder I chased balance, the more elusive she became and the more disconnected I became from myself, from my true essence and the ones I loved. When I let go of what society defined as balance and created the space to listen to what my body and mind needed for me to show up as the woman I wanted to be, I discovered something simple and life-changing. Balance was not a destination; it was a way of being, and it is found in the micro-moments of recharge and rest that you choose to inject into each day. The more I invest in these sacred pockets of time, the more impact I have and the more I feel connected to the woman I want to be in the world. I know I'm not alone when I say the pursuit of balance is burning us out. It's for this exact reason that I want you to meet Balance on this week's podcast. She has a message for you, and I know you're going to want to hear it.

Vulnerability allows us to breathe again. It creates the space to release, to put ourselves out there as who we really are, to try something new, and to take ownership of our growth. Yet, it feels so damn uncomfortable, which is why we avoid it. However, the avoidance of vulnerability often takes us further away from who we are. It's for all of these reasons that I want to dedicate this podcast to the power of vulnerability and provide you with an open invitation to consider what a date with vulnerability would look like for you in the service of your own growth.

Learning to trust your intuition. If you're body is whispering to you, can you hear it? The busy pace of life has left many of us so in our heads checking off a never-ending to-do list that when our body calls to us for help we can't hear it. Perhaps this is why so many women from 40+ feel like they're going crazy before uncovering that they are, in fact, Peri Menopausal. We've become experts in ignoring our body's warning signals. It's for this exact reason that in this episode of the Hacking Happy Podcast we speak to Natalie and Lisa from Own Your Health Collective.

The myth of normal is that we assume the conditions of society are healthy simply because we are used to them. - Dr Gabor Mate This is a quote that opens a can of worms when we dig deeper into what is going on with successful professional women at the moment, particularly the ones who are mothers. In this week's podcast, I want to explore the pervasive phenomenon that I call high-functioning burnt-out woman syndrome. I want to shine a spotlight on what she looks from the outside looking in versus what's really going on for her inside each and every day. I want to expose why it's a problem not only for her but for us as a society, and I want to explore what we can do to intervene in a way that empowers her to make the shift that she longs for when she feels she doesn't have the energy to do so.

I spent many years of my life (up until I became an entrepreneur) chasing balance and a few years back discovered, that the harder I chased balance the more elusive it became. This process has been further validated by the over 150 exhausted professional women I have interviewed (for my research) who have shared that flourishing in life for them is having balance. However, most of them cannot recall a time in their life where they felt balanced and if they did they couldn't sustain it. This is why I'm investing the new four weeks of my time dispelling the myths of balance to help you shift the lens through which you look at balance and redefine it in a way that unlocks more harmony in your days.

Where does anger show up for most of us, what drives it and what are some helpful ways to process it. Join me on a journey of self-discovery when it comes to my own anger.

Your voice should be heard. I've started to notice a trend... so many coaching clients come to me to find and share their voice into the world for impact. How that manifests is unique to every client it might mean starting a podcast, speaking on stage, starting a business or stepping into that leadership position you deserve to own. Now what I find interesting is that the reason these women often struggle to find their voice and speak their truth is fear. Fear of judgement and what others will think. This podcast is about stepping into vulnerability and owning your voice and in the process your truth and your potential.

Have you ever considered what or whom you are attached to, and how that attachment might be holding you back? I've studied attachment theory in my psychology degree and have recently been digging deep to understand how it impacts my life and how I can let go of it in the service of creating the space for growth. I wanted to share this experience and the lessons in the hope that it might inspire you to explore your relationship with attachment for your own expansion.

Why rejection is a sign you're growing & making progress towards your dreams.Rejection as opportunity, not an obstacle. How do you feel when you get rejected? For most of us, it can conjure up feelings of not being good enough or failing and then result in us not continuing to progress toward a dream. But what if rejection was the gateway rather than the dead end to making progress around the things that light a fire in your soul? In this week's podcast, I share how rejection is fundamental to the opportunities I receive to do the work I love, how it is a sign you are growing and making progress and how to challenge the lens through which you view rejection in order to realise opportunities you never imagined possible.

This podcast was inspired and is dedicated to the over 100 professional women I have interviewed over the past year who have shared their truth and their desire for wanting to feel like they are living rather than existing. Consistently what I hear from these women is "I've lost my spark." I look in the mirror and I no longer recognise the woman staring back at me. If this connects then this podcast is also for you. In this podcast we explore what we mean by spark, why it matters, where I started to find my spark and a couple of simple tools to kick-start reigniting yours. Enjoy!

The number one ingredient required to grow and expand into the person and the life you long for is space. Space to reflect, to brainstorm, to plan and to just be and sit in the present moment and allow it to inspire you. Space is what so many of my prospective clients tell me they need and yet for so many of us space feels elusive. Space is and will always be elusive if every moment of every day is full. Space only comes when we let go. Let go of the things that no longer serve the direction we wish to head in. On this podcast, I bring in a beautiful friend and co-worker Mariah Mcinnes to go deep on why we need to let go in order to lean into more of what gives us meaning. Together we explore our journey toward letting go of each other after working together for over 2 years and how the courage to do so is allowing both of us to expand our businesses. Mariah's journey of letting go of a safe career and leaning into the life of a digital nomad will inspire and surprise you in its magic and imperfection.

This episode of the Hacking Happy podcast continues where we left off last week and forms Part 2 in my series entitled What a real 8-year business journey looks like. In case you missed Part 1 I highly recommend you venture back and listen to Episode 82 first to get the full story. In short, it's 8 years since I turned my back on a crazy salary in a global giant, registered my business name and stepped into the great unknown that comes with building a business from absolutely nothing. When I reflect back, I remember thinking can I do this? Am I crazy? This is now one of the most common questions I get asked by prospective coaching clients who want to make a significant shift in their career, and life of the business. This is why I created this two-part podcast series, to expose what it really looks like to build a business over 8 years. This is not your Instagram-filtered BS journey of how I became a millionaire in six months it's a journey into experimentation, expansion, reflection and the roller coaster ride of emotion that goes with it. So, strap yourself in as I walk you through my experience in the hope that if you are on the precipice of wanting to make a shift into shaping your own purpose-led business you do so with eyes wide open and a sense of knowing you are not alone. - To celebrate this wild and wondrous journey with you, I want to extend an invitation to attend my FREE hands-on workshop, 3 Steps to create the space to reignite your spark!
