This is a special HOLIDAY episode featuring the chat I had on Katherine May's Podcast “The Clearing” where guests explore their ideal real or fantasy retreat. Here's what Katherine said about the episode: The ADHD and autistic tendency to rest in motion is fully realised in American author and illustrator Andy J. Pizza's vision of the ideal retreat. Choosing an extraordinary fictional setting which incorporates an ingenious method of traveling the world, this episode showcases the wonder of a brilliantly creative, neurodivergent brain. Along the way, and with many fascinating tangents, Andy and Katherine discuss the power of Miyazaki films, their shared love of Fraggle Rock and longing for direction from the universe. A meticulously thought out and fully realised world that accommodates his own personal experience of ADHD, Andy unveils the most beautifully zany and imaginative dreamscape. An absolute treat.

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unmotivated, or like you just cannot seem to move the needle forward right now, this episode is your sign. Evie and Lindsey deliver a short, powerful entrepreneur pep talk filled with tough love, honest encouragement, and practical reminders for those seasons when business and life feel heavy. They talk about why slow progress is still real progress, why asking for help is a strength not a failure, and why comparison, especially on social media, will rob you of joy faster than anything else. The girls reframe failure as proof that you are trying, remind you that someone else's win does not equal your loss, and encourage you to stop letting fear, procrastination, or overwhelm keep you frozen. You'll also hear a simple but game changing productivity mindset shift using the five minute rule to help you push past resistance and finally start the task you've been avoiding. This episode is part encouragement, part reality check, and part loving nudge to get honest about what you want your life and business to feel like, and then take responsibility for making the shift. If you needed a reminder that you are capable, not behind, and not alone, this one is for you.

#244: Before we dive into vision boards, resolutions, and “new year, new me” energy, let's pause to reflect. In this 5-minute solo pep talk, we're doing something most people forget to: actually reflect on the year we just lived. Whether 2025 was beautiful, complicated, heavy, or all of the above, you deserve to take a breath and appreciate who you've become. This pep talk is a gentle guide to help you look back without judgment, notice the growth that didn't announce itself, and create space for deep, grounded gratitude before you rush into what's next. Because before you decide who you want to be in 2026, you need to acknowledge who you were in 2025.Pep talk begins at: 3:36Music by Dana Music from PixabayFor Detailed Show Notes visit theeverygirlpodcast.com Hosted on Acast.

Christmas can look and feel so different for each of us. You might be waking up to squeals of excitement and wrapping paper everywhere, or you might be on your own, missing your children, holding back tears (or letting them flow). You might be somewhere in between. However this season finds you, I just want you to know that you are not alone. In this short episode, I share a gentle Christmas pep talk. This is your reminder that you are seen, you are supported, and you're doing an incredibe job. Links mentioned in the episode: Download the E-book, I'm A Single Mum...

If the thought of being around your family this Christmas makes you feel a mix of excitement… and mild dread, you're in the right place. For many mothers, Christmas isn't hard because of the cooking, wrapping or logistics—it's hard because of the people. The comments, the expectations, the old patterns and the familiar triggers that somehow resurface the moment you walk through the door. In the final of our December pep talks, Zoe shares practical tools to help you stay calm, grounded and drama-free when the family dynamics get intense In this pep talk, Zoe covers: How to stay grounded when family dynamics and old triggers show up What you can control (and what you can't) when tensions rise Simple, kind ways to set boundaries and protect your energy Practical tools to prepare for tricky moments and avoid drama You are not imagining it—family dynamics at Christmas really can be tough.But with a few simple tools, you can protect your energy, stay grounded and enjoy the moments that truly matter. Have an amazing Christmas, and make sure to tune in on the 25th… there's something special coming your way.

If you feel like you're slogging your guts out, and things aren't improving - this episode's for you.
Dear Boss Babe... you've been telling yourself, “I'm fine. I'm just tired. It's just a busy season.” But what if that's not the truth? What if you're ignoring the very signs that are trying to save you? Most high-achieving women don't break down from one big moment — we burn out because we dismiss months of small signals, all while performing, producing, and pushing at a level that looks impressive… but feels heavy. Today's pep talk is the reminder your spirit has been waiting for. In this short but powerful reset, Ericka delivers the kind of tough-love pep talk every ambitious woman needs. Inside this episode, you'll hear: How chronic stress hides behind success, competence, and hustle culture — and why you've normalized exhaustion without realizing it. Your spark. Your joy. Your voice. Your identity. Your energy to dream the way you used to. Ericka breaks down the difference between: – “I'm overwhelmed” – “I'm shutting down” – and the dangerous autopilot many high achievers mistake for strength – Tight chest – Clenched jaw – Irritability – Forgetfulness – Heavy routines – Sparkless mornings – Sleep that doesn't restore you Ericka guides you through: – Questioning your pace – Checking whether you're surviving or actually thriving – Micro-moments that bring you back home to yourself – Nervous-system safety resets – Small acts of self-care high achievers forget to do This is the pep talk every boss babe deserves — especially the ones who never slow down long enough to hear their own truth. burnout, chronic stress signs, pep talk for women, high achiever burnout, hustle culture recovery, self care for ambitious women, nervous system support, feminine wellness, overwhelm, emotional exhaustion, productivity pressure, burnout vs stress ✨ Share this pep talk with another high-achieving woman who needs the reminder. ✨ Leave a review on Apple & Spotify — it helps other women find this podcast. ✨ And listen to Episode 130 for the full deep dive into chronic stress vs burnout.

This episode wasn't supposed to air. It was me, unfiltered inside of my coaching community, Non-Dieter's Club, sharing the things that those women needed to hear in moments of self-doubt, defeat, fear and uncertainty on their intuitive eating journey. I came in hot with a pep talk to light a fire under them…To remind them why they went down this path in the first place. And the lies that diet and wellness culture have told us over and over again that make them believe that they are not worthy simply because of the size of their jeans, the rolls on their belly or the flab on their arms. You'll hear: Why diet culture feels so loud right now The marketing strategy that diet culture uses to hook you in What you're taking a stand for (and against) How I coach my clients through their doubts and fears so they don't go backwards or fall back into old habits If you've ever wondered, "Is it always going to feel this hard?"...This one's for you.

Hey lovelies, How are you getting on in this festive season? This can be a challenging time to keep your energy topped up and flowing - on one hand, winter is calling us to go slow and be still. On the other hand we can find ourselves on a treadmill of non-stop Christmas prep and festive activities.And so I wanted to dedicate today's Pep-Talk to the art of what I've been calling ‘hibernation pockets' - creating pockets of time in amongst the Christmas chaos to rest, be still and get seriously snuggly.Even a couple of minutes dedicated to hibernating can make a big difference.I also talk about the guilt that can creep in when we dare to put ourselves first at this time of year - and why it's so important to notice it, name it, and not let it run the show.So if you're feeling tired, overwhelmed, or quietly craving a bit more stillness and space this December, this one's for you.x SelinaComing up in December and January…1. ✍️ LIVE online Goodbye 2025, Hello 2026 journalling events in December and January with Marianne PowerJoin LIVE Goodbye, Hello journal-alongs with the amazing best-selling author Marianne Power in December and January.

Hey girl, hey — welcome back to another Monday Mom Pep Talk! In this episode, we're diving into something I think every mom needs to hear, especially during this season: you are straight-up MAGIC at Christmas.From remembering everyone's gifts to creating traditions, from juggling holiday parties to keeping the magic alive for your babies… you do so much more than anyone ever sees. And even when you're tired, overwhelmed, or running on coffee and Christmas spirit, you're still the one who holds it all together and fills your home with warmth, joy, and memories your kids will carry forever.This episode is your reminder that the little things you do, the stockings, the crafts, the hot cocoa nights, the late-night gift wrapping, the quiet moments of love — they matter. You matter. And you don't need to do it all perfectly to make Christmas magical. Your presence is the magic.So grab a cozy blanket, a peppermint mocha (or cold coffee, no judgment!), and let's talk about why moms are the heart of the holidays… and why you deserve to feel celebrated, supported, and seen.

Dear Boss Babe... if you are thinking I should be further along by now… This episode is your reminder that hustling yourself into the ground is not the path — intention is. If you've been battling burnout, second-guessing your pace, or comparing your journey to someone who isn't living your reality… this one's for you. In today's pep talk, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really looks like to build a dream while holding down a 9–5 — the identity shifts, the emotional weight, and the discipline it takes to grow without slipping into hustle culture or burning yourself out. You'll walk away feeling grounded, re-centered, and reminded of what your spirit already knows: You are not behind. You are building with intention, not urgency. Why your pace does not determine your potential How high achievers accidentally slip into burnout loops Using your 9–5 as leverage instead of letting it drain you The difference between building with pressure vs purpose The self-care habits that keep you steady through the climb The mindset reframe that every multi-hyphenate founder needs ✨ If you loved this pep talk, go listen to the full episode (#128) where I break down the actual structure, boundaries, and energy management skills that help you grow both sides of your life without crumbling under the pressure. ✨ Come connect with me on Instagram: @theerickanicole / @bossbabereset ✨ Podcast produced by: Your Girl Media Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Queen of Pep Talks, Jessica Battle breaks down one of the most important principles in self-worth and relationships: you teach people how to treat you. She explores how the standards you hold, the boundaries you honor, and the consistency you show yourself become the blueprint for how others show up in your life.Jessica dives into the difference between expectations and standards, why early effort in relationships means nothing without consistency, and how self-betrayal often leads to resentment, disappointment, and feeling unseen. She shares the patterns women fall into—overgiving, people-pleasing, ignoring red flags, or hoping someone will “change”—and teaches listeners how to reclaim their power by embodying the treatment they want to receive.With her signature tough love and compassion, Jessica guides listeners through building sustainable self-standards, communicating needs confidently, and choosing relationships that reflect their worth. This episode is perfect for women ready to deepen self-respect, strengthen relationship dynamics, and finally stop accepting the bare minimum.Links mentioned in today's episode:JOIN THE STANDARD.FIRST MONTH FREE INSIDE OF TRANSFORM.
