This week, Alexa chats with artist, songwriter, choir leader, and vocal coach India Bourne about life beyond the stage. From touring the world with Ben Howard to building a thriving teaching career, India shares how completing the BAST Foundation Course deepened her understanding of the voice, transformed her songwriting, and enriched her work with singers. She also opens up about balancing creativity, teaching, and motherhood, revealing how life as a mum has shaped her artistry, sharpened her instincts, and helped her to continue creating a sustainable, fulfilling career in music. WHAT'S IN THIS PODCAST? 1:08 What venues are India's favourite to play? 3:38 What has India learnt through touring and being a human in the music industry? 6:06 Does teaching ever feel in tension with being an artist? 12:37 India's experience with BAST 14:50 How has being a classically trained cellist influenced artistry and teaching? 18:10 Songwriting and creative ideas 25:07 Singing and training emotion in music 30:02 Being the creative juggler 33:26 Protecting your own creativity 35:35 India's new music About the presenter HERE RELEVANT MENTIONS & LINKS Ben Howard Man and Superman by George Bernard Shaw Why Doing Nothing Can Change Your Life by Joseph Jebelli Heidi Moss Erickson Singing in the Brain: Ep.2: The Spaces in Between - Part1 Rest Singing Teachers Talk - Ep.256 The Neuroscience of Singing: What the Singer's Brain Needs Middle Farm Studios Outside venue ABOUT THE GUEST India Bourne is a classically trained musician, songwriter and vocal coach whose voice has travelled the world as a long-time member of Ben Howard's live band. Singing and playing cello, bass and percussion, she has spent years immersed in shared stages and shifting landscapes. Alongside this, she has released music as Tender Central, where electronica and folk intertwine in songs that echo the emotional depth of Massive Attack, Lamb and Joni Mitchell. Now, India returns to releasing music under her own name. This new collection is shaped by long-standing musical relationships, featuring collaborators Mickey Smith, Nat Wason and Rich Thomas alongside her all-female choir, The Big Skirts. Recorded live to tape at Middle Farm Studios with producer Peter Miles, these are songs of initiation and becoming - of motherhood, grief, nature, and new life - held together by the rare chemistry of old friends playing in the same room. At the heart of the record is the voice, or rather voices. India writes with her women vocalists in mind, weaving their lines together as a living fabric from which melodies emerge. The result is music that feels both grounded and expansive, rooted in collective breath, resonance and connection. Website Instagram The Big Skirts

What if “you are enough” is true as a human being, but not true for the goals you say you want? In this episode, Kevin and Alan challenge one of the most common messages in personal development and separate intrinsic value from extrinsic capability. They talk about self-worth, identity, goals, discipline, growth, and why not being “enough yet” does not mean something is wrong with you. It means there is a skill gap, a consistency gap, or a courage gap that must be developed.This conversation brings clarity to the tension between striving and arriving, ambition and gratitude, self-acceptance and self-improvement. It is a grounded look at how to pursue your next level without turning growth into self-punishment. Listen now, because feeling good is useful, but becoming better is harder to fake._______________________Book Alan's Business Breakthrough Session. Your first 30-minute coaching call is FREE.

Season 20, Episode 8: Note: an earlier version of this podcast confused NRMA motoring association (not a CA sponsor) with NRMA insurance (CA's major Test series sponsor). They're different companies with shared branding. Apologies. Nonetheless, this story is strange, with CA chair Mike Baird planning to double up that job with being CEO of NRMA motoring association.

In this episode, Andryanna unpacks the viral “three-hour mom” debate and why it's striking such a nerve for so many women. What started as one comment from Emma Grede about the time she spends with her kids on weekends quickly turned into a much bigger conversation about motherhood, ambition, privilege, and the invisible expectations placed on women.Andryanna explores what this debate reveals about how modern women are navigating identity, career, and family life all at once.In this episode:Why this debate sparked such strong reactions among women;Describing your life vs. prescribing how others should live;How privilege, support, and resources shape parenting choices;The ongoing double standard around ambition and parenthood;How modern mothers are experiencing increased pressure on both career and home fronts;How to think about connection, presence, and time in a more meaningful way;The importance of understanding your own values instead of reacting to cultural narratives, and the questions we should ask ourselves to unpack this.Blending research, real-life reflection, and personal stories, this episode shifts the conversation away from judgment and toward awareness, helping listeners better understand their own values and choices without comparison or pressure.CONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 HERE!

If you've been feeling more tired than usual, a little foggy, or just not quite like yourself, this episode is your reminder to stop brushing it off.In this solo episode, Andryanna shares a grounded approach to women's health this spring, focusing on the small, often ignored signals your body is already giving you.After recent conversations with her family doctor and naturopath, Andryanna reflects on the importance of being proactive instead of reactive, and why prevention isn't about doing more, but about paying attention sooner.This episode walks through four foundational areas that can impact energy, mood, digestion, sleep, and overall well-being, especially for women in their 30s and 40s navigating busy, demanding seasons of life.If you've ever thought, “I'm just tired of being tired,” this conversation will help you understand why, and where to start.In this episode:Why “feeling off” is often a signal, not something to ignore;The difference between reactive health and responsive health;Why routine check-ins and bloodwork matter, even when nothing feels “wrong”;How low iron, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal shifts can show up in everyday symptoms;Why fibre is one of the most overlooked keys to gut health and hormone balance;How your gut microbiome impacts energy, digestion, and mood;The real role of sleep in regulating stress, hormones, and mental clarity;Why strength training is essential for long-term health, not just fitness;Simple, realistic ways to support your body without overhauling your life.CONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 HERE!

A behind-the-scenes look at the real, unfiltered juggle of running a business while raising a family. In this episode, I'm sharing the contrast between big career moments and the everyday realities of motherhood, plus the systems, support, and mindset shifts that make it all possible. Key Takeaways The "highlight vs reality" contrast is normal You can go from career highs to cleaning up sick (or dealing with nits) overnight. Both can exist and that doesn't diminish your success. You don't have to do it all alone Support systems; whether that's a partner, family, freelancers, or automation, are often the hidden foundation behind sustainable businesses. Boundaries are essential (but hard) Switching off from a creative business isn't easy, but protecting your time (especially with family) is key to long-term wellbeing. Simplify your to-do list to feel progress A never-ending list leads to burnout. Focusing on just 3 priority tasks a day can create momentum and satisfaction. Episode Highlights 01:00 – Career highs vs everyday mum life 03:00 – Flexibility and family priorities 04:10 – Struggling to switch off from work 05:40 – Overwhelm and managing your to-do list 07:00 – Why "doing it all" is a myth 08:10 – Systems, outsourcing & automation 10:10 – Flexibility, trade-offs & ambition Mentioned in the episode Esther Young's Episode Dubsado How I edit my videos YouTube vid I would love to hear what you think of this episode, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @lizmmosley or @buildingyourbrandpodcast and I hope you enjoy the episode!

If your relationship feels off but nothing is “wrong,” you're not alone. In this episode, Andryanna sits down with relationship coach Monica Tanner to explore why couples feel disconnected, how roommate syndrome shows up in modern relationships, and what it actually takes to reconnect in a realistic way.It's that subtle shift where a relationship looks “fine” on the surface; but connection feels distant, conversations feel functional, and both partners can end up feeling unseen in different ways.Drawing from her work in Relational Life Therapy and Sex Therapy, Monica shares a grounded, real-life perspective on why this happens, especially during busy seasons of life, and how couples can begin to understand and shift these patterns without adding more pressure. Together, they unpack the invisible dynamics that shape modern relationships and offer practical, realistic ways to move back toward connection and true partnership.In this episode:What “roommate syndrome” actually is and why so many couples experience it;Why relationships can feel disconnected even when there's love and effort;What's really happening underneath resentment; How mental load and daily life pressures show up inside a relationship;Why “just communicate” often doesn't work and what to do instead;The difference between compromise and true collaboration;What real teamwork looks like in a modern relationship;How small shifts in awareness can begin to rebuild connection.This episode offers a refreshing and honest take on relationships, not focused on perfection, but on understanding, awareness, and sustainable change.CONNECT WITH MONICA:MonicaTanner.comOn InstagramMonica's Book - Bad Marriage Advice: Debunking Myths That Will Make You Miserable and What To Do InsteadCONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 HERE!

Season 4, Episode 8 - April 2026 The April episode is here. This month we're proudly sponsored by the Almuerzo, Valencia's greatest invention. No corporate sponsor would have us probably, so we went with something we actually believe in. We run through everything we published in March, including our big two-part series on the real running costs of owning a property in Valencia. Part one covers electricity and why Spain's renewable energy story is actually good news for your bills. Part two covers everything else: IBI, gas, water, community fees, internet, insurance, pools, gardens. Real numbers for a city apartment and a house with a pool. We also talk about the property market. Americans now make up around two-thirds of our transactions, which is remarkable. The global chaos, the Iran situation, tariffs, oil prices. None of it has slowed things down here. If anything, it's pushing more people our way. The main interview this month is with Teresa Villaseca, one of our clients who's setting up a business in Valencia helping Americans abroad with their US tax returns. If you're American and thinking of moving here, or you're already here and confused about FBAR, FATCA and why the IRS hasn't forgotten about you, this is essential listening. The US is one of only two countries that taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live. The other one is Eritrea. Good company to be in US, good company. And we finish with our getting-to-know-the-team segment. This month it's Paul's turn. Can he juggle or ride a unicycle? Can he paint your portrait in oils or your walls with emulsion? And is he really from Cork or is it just an affectation?

If you find yourself overthinking, second-guessing your decisions, or constantly questioning what you feel… this episode offers a powerful reframe.Because what if those patterns aren't a lack of confidence,but something that taught you not to trust yourself in the first place?In this episode, Andryanna sits down with board-certified hypnotherapist, NLP and subconscious coach Alanna Banks to explore how anxiety, conditioning, and survival patterns shape self-doubt, and why so many high-functioning women feel disconnected from their own inner voice.Rather than focusing on surface-level mindset shifts, this conversation goes deeper into the nervous system, subconscious patterning, and the lived experiences that influence how women relate to themselves.In this episode:Why you overthink and second-guess, even when you “know better”;How anxiety trains the brain to doubt and catastrophize;The role of subconscious conditioning in shaping your patterns;Why high-functioning women override their own needs and signals;The difference between intuition and anxiety;Practical, small ways to begin rebuilding internal trust.This episode offers a grounded and clarifying perspective: what feels like self-doubt, anxiety, or people-pleasing isn't a personal flaw—it's often a learned response shaped by experience, environment, and survival.CONNECT WITH ALANNA:On Instagram On Facebook Website CONNECT WITH ANDRYANNA:Get your copy of The Juggle is Real: Authentic Self-Care Planner Vol. 2 HERE!

"I believe in the power of people wishing to volunteer for initiatives rather than assignment of duties and responsibilities and having people feel as though it's a chore… (They) serve as champions in their areas to educate their fellow peers on what it means to be sustainable, what they can do that's in their power to contribute to the outcomes….And then as we started to become more mature…we formed structured committees, we leveraged those champions on the units to participate. We made it enjoyable in terms of participating. We actually have contests… (I)t just breeds excitement about sustainability and I think it just allows for a culture where people become engaged and part of the process." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Healthcare is a huge 18% of the economy and uniquely has to be caring well for patients and staff 24/7 every day while also vulnerable to extreme weather events itself. How do they do that, how do they cover those costs, and what can we all learn from them? Listen to Carol Gomes (pronounced like "homes"), CEO and COO of Stony Brook University Hospital in this fascinating conversation with Electric Ladies Podcast host Joan Michelson. You'll hear about: ● Their initiatives and systems to reduce energy and water consumption, CO2 emissions, waste and manage the significant hazardous waste a hospital generates. How "quality" is a mantra. ● How they have engaged their people, building a unique culture, to embrace sustainability. ● What Practice Green Health is and what other industries can learn from their data, analyses and sharing of best practices. ● Plus, career advice, such as: "I would say use your voice sooner than later. And if you see something, say something. If you wish to express yourself and you have an opinion and you're sitting at a table, express it and don't be shy… I think also leveraging networking opportunities is really important and volunteering for a committee or stretching yourself a little more than you normally would, and exploring areas where you may feel you're not as strong and don't be fearful of that… building relationships is not text messaging. It's not leaving voice messages. It's talking face-to-face, getting to know people, what's important to them." Carol Gomes on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes articles here.

Welcome back, WIFs!In this deeply honest and inspiring episode, Lauren and Michelle are joined by their friend, legal expert, community nerd (her words!), and founder of Posey Law Group, Stephanie Posey. We settle in for a cozy catch-up before diving into a conversation that feels grounded, brave, and beautifully real.Stephanie shares her journey to five years of sobriety—what led her there, what it's taught her, and how choosing an alcohol-free life didn't shrink her world… it expanded it. The sisters talk about what it means to build a life you actually want to be present for, the quiet strength required to change, and how sobriety can be less about restriction and more about freedom.From there, the conversation opens into the very real season of sandwich parenting—caring for children while supporting aging parents—and the emotional and logistical juggle that comes with it. Stephanie reflects on running a small business, staying deeply involved in her local community, and raising a family without losing herself in the process.You'll also hear about Stephanie's Maven program through Posey Law Group, where she helps women start and structure their businesses the right way—legally protected, empowered, and confident from day one. It's practical, powerful, and exactly the kind of support more women deserve.As always, Lauren and Michelle weave in laughter, warmth, and thoughtful reflection on what they're reading, watching, and listening to—before closing out with their Simple Joys of the week.This episode is about resilience. It's about choosing clarity. It's about community, boundaries, and building a life that feels steady and sustainable.Press play, get cozy, and join us for a conversation that reminds you: you can rewrite your story at any timeA heartfelt thank you to Posey Law Group and Chicago Private Wealth Group for supporting this episode and our cozy community.“Chicago Private Wealth Group is made up of wealth advisors Rick Shanley, Matt Arhontas and Robert Buoy.If you're interested in starting a conversation with their team, you can reach them by phone at 708.247.1700, through email at chicagopwg@lplfinancial.com, or by visiting chicagopwg.com.

And yet… I feel more energized, less scattered, and more like myself than I have in a long time.In this episode, I talk about:Why alignment is more about fit than easeHow adding something new can actually regulate your nervous systemWhy the juggle isn't always the problem — sometimes misalignment isLetting go of who you thought you were supposed to beWhy structure can feel surprisingly energizingTrusting that you don't need to pre-solve the “how” before saying yesLearning to tell the difference between what feels heavy because it's wrong vs. unfamiliarGiving yourself permission to evolve — even if it doesn't match an old version of youThis isn't a strategy episode. It's a heart-to-heart. And if you're in a season where you're craving something new but feel scared to add to your plate… this one is for you.Mentioned in this episode:My children's book available on Amazon, "The Big Oops" If this episode resonated with you:Share it with a friendPost it on your IG stories & tag meSend me a DM — I read and respond to every single one
