In today's episode, we're tackling a hard truth that might shake up everything you believe about leadership: being constantly available isn't making you a better leaderâit's actively sabotaging your success. Research shows that the "always-on" approach is draining your productivity by up to 40%. Today, we're exploring why this happens and how to fix it.
I take you through the fascinating psychology behind our compulsion to say 'yes', drawing from Steve Chandler's brilliant framework of the 'social self' versus the 'professional self'. We unpack how our early conditioningâespecially for womenâcreates a 'good girl' syndrome that can secretly sabotage our leadership effectiveness. Iâll also share practical strategies for breaking free from these patterns and crafting an authentic leadership style that honours both your goals and your energy.
The real game-changer? Learning that authentic leadership isn't about constant availabilityâit's about intentional boundaries. Iâll show you exactly how to shift from reflexive people-pleasing to strategic leadership, even if setting boundaries feels uncomfortable at first. This discomfort isn't just normal; it's actually a signal that you're growing into a more powerful leader.
Key Episode Takeaways:
⢠The 40% Productivity Drain: How constant availability sabotages your success
⢠The Social vs Professional Self: Understanding your leadership identity
⢠Strategic Boundary Setting: Practical tools for saying 'no' effectively
⢠Energy Management: Why it's your secret leadership weapon

What if I told you that some of history's greatest mindsâTesla, da Vinci, Hemingwayâhad a surprising secret weapon? They mastered the art of doing nothing. And before you dismiss this as ancient history, today's most successful leaders and innovators are embracing this same powerful strategy. Let's explore why strategic silence might be your untapped advantage.
In this episode, Iâll take you through the 'Alpha 10' techniqueâa straightforward practice of dedicating ten minutes to complete stillness. This isn't another productivity hack or meditation practice to add to your growing to-do list. It's about creating intentional space for your mind to process, innovate and rejuvenate.
Here's the fascinating paradox: when we deliberately create space in our packed schedules, we actually accelerate our path to success. For high performers juggling multiple responsibilities, these moments of solitude aren't just nice-to-havesâthey're essential tools for maintaining peak performance and expanding emotional bandwidth.
So, letâs explore some of the benefits consistent time spent in solitude can bring to all aspects of our increasingly busy lives.
Key Takeaways:
⢠Master the Alpha 10: Ten minutes of intentional silence daily
⢠Create phone-free zones to enhance creative thinking
⢠Use strategic pauses to expand your emotional bandwidth
⢠Productivity paradoxically increases with intentional rest

While the desire to excel is a powerful motivator for high-performing women, it can cast a shadow that impacts your energy, wellness and sustainable success.
Last week, I talked about the five drivers for high performing women and today, we're diving into the "shadow" side of those drivers. By knowing how to tend to the darker sides of what propels us forward, we can make better decisions and foster routines that protect our well-being.
Weâll unpack the complex dynamics of each driver and its shadow side:
⢠The Visionary: Always chasing what's next while missing the present moment
⢠The Mission-Driven: Falling into martyrdom and over-responsibility
⢠The High Standards Bearer: Wrestling with perfectionism and control
⢠The Achievement-Oriented: Tying self-worth to success metrics
⢠The Redefiner: Balancing ambition with the desire for ease
Key Takeaway:
By identifying your primary driver and understanding its shadow side, you can make mindful choices that energise, uplift and sustain your success. Join me as I share practical strategies for incorporating recovery, celebration and boundary-setting into your high-performance journey.

Ambitious women are often told to "slow down" or "be happy with where they areâ. If youâre a high-performing woman, youâll probably know the frustration that comes from hearing this.
So why do high-performing women continue to push themselves, not only when facing othersâ criticism, but even in the face of exhaustion? Understanding the deep-seated drivers behind our ambition can be revolutionary, providing relief and clarity while explaining why you continue overachieving when others urge you to pause.
When we don't recognise our drivers, we might end up overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, poor sleep and mood swings, all of which undermine our goals and lead us towards burnout.
Today, let's explore these five drivers that fuel the ambitions of high-performing women and how identifying yours can empower you with more capacity and purpose:
1. Visionary Driver: Driven by curiosity, but can cause overstimulation
2. Mission Driver: Strives to make an impact, but risks compassion fatigue
3. High Standards Driver: Revolves around excellence, but can lead to perfectionism
4. Success Driver: Achievement is at the forefront, but can lead to burnout
5. Redefiner Driver: Seeks balance, but can create mental clutter from juggling diverse aspects of life
Why Identify Your Drivers?
Understanding your drivers isn't just about putting a label on your ambition â it's about embracing your unique wiring and building a life that honours it. Because here's the truth: You can be both ambitious AND balanced. You can chase big dreams AND protect your wellbeing. You can make an impact AND take care of yourself.
Next week, we'll dive deeper into the shadow side of these drivers and how to build capacity around them. But for now, I'd love to hear from you: Which driver resonated most deeply? What was your "aha" moment? Share your story in the comments below â let's create a space where ambitious women can embrace their drivers together.

If youâre struggling in any area of your life, going it alone might be the hardest way to get to the other side. The reality is, the key to unlocking greater change doesnât lie in solitude, but in the power of a community.
Before I took the leap into starting my online business, I only ever did things one-on-one. But it wasnât until I (begrudgingly) listened to advice about delivering a group course online that I discovered just what can be gained from community. Healing, motivation, momentum - it can all flourish when we surround ourselves with those walking our same path.
The Lonely Truth About Going Solo
Did you know one in four Australians report feeling lonely? And it's not just about missing a romantic partner or lacking friendships. There's something called 'community loneliness' â that yearning for like-minded people who truly get what you're trying to achieve. When we try to make changes in our lives, whether it's improving our health, growing our business or transforming our mindsets, doing it alone isn't just harder â it's actually working against our natural wiring for connection.
Why Community Accelerates Change
Think about it this way: when you're trying something new or challenging, every obstacle can feel like a personal failure. But in a community:
Your challenges become normalisedSolutions appear through others' experiencesMotivation stays high through shared momentumProgress accelerates through collective wisdomIf you're feeling stuck in any area of your life, stop looking for the perfect solution or trying to muscle through alone. Instead, ask yourself: "Where are my people? Where's the community that's already working towards what I want to achieve?"
Because here's what I know for sure: the path to any transformation is paved with shared experiences, collective wisdom and doing life with those who understand you. And sometimes, the very thing holding us back isn't our strategy or our willpower â it's simply trying to do it all alone.

Survival mode - it's a reality many of us know all too well. Weâre caught in a constant state of fight or flight, feeling like each dayâs a race to the finish line where we rarely pause to breathe or truly live. And with the pace of our lives these days, it's easy to slip into this state without even realising it.
Now, not all stress is your enemy. A little bit of pressure can actually sharpen your focus and boost your memory. But there's a tipping point. When you're constantly running on high alert, everything goes sideways. Your decision-making gets fuzzy, anxiety creeps in and suddenly you're not showing up as your best self anymore.
So what are the symptoms of being in survival mode and how do we escape this relentless cycle to craft a better life? Today weâre talking about:
Understanding the nervous system's role in stressRecognising beneficial vs. harmful stressHealth implications of prolonged stressConducting a life balance assessmentTransforming survival mode into thrivingAligning daily actions with true fulfillmentTake a moment now to consider where youâre investing your time. Is your work just a paycheck, or does it also feed your passion? Are you nurturing your relationships, or are they falling by the wayside? How are you prioritising your physical and mental health?
Perhaps do your own life balance assessment, identify the gaps and start shifting focus. Answer honestly: where is your focus, and whatâs lacking? You might be surprised how a few changes can turn survival mode into a vibrant, enriching life.

Ever feel like your energyâs fading faster than youâd like, especially on those long workdays? If youâre finding yourself burning the candle at both ends for more than a couple of weeks at a time, you may need to look at supporting your body to avoid burnout - because that kind of pace really canât be sustained in a healthy way.
I want to share with you 4 simple habits you can integrate into your life that will help you power through when working late is just part of the game. So, letâs do less of the caffeine, junk food and alcohol that give us quick (but fading) hits of energy, and more of the stuff that will sustain our energy for the long term:
Make simple dietary changes: a solid breakfast, healthy snacks and batching your mealsGet some daily morning sunlight: 5 minutes in the sun will balance your hormones and stabilise energy levels Take decompression breaks throughout the day: step outside, practise deep breathing or have some no-device momentsWeekend recharge: reset your nervous system with more sleep and getting out into natureSo, which of these habits speak to you the most for keeping your energy up? Maybe starting with those diet tweaks is easiest. Whatever your pick, Iâd love to hear about the first step you're taking as you start this journey. Each little change brings you a step closer to feeling your best and meeting lifeâs demands with more zest and pep.

When was the last time you thought about the kind of messaging that continually enters your mind? The reality is, the messages weâre so often bombarded with weigh us down and cause stress in the back of our minds. A lot of the time, weâre not even aware itâs happening. We habitually make choices to consume content that creates anxiety, unaware that weâre programming ourselves to be stressed, unhappy or sick.
In today's episode, Iâm talking about how the media we consume shapes our mental landscape and overall well-being. We explore the hidden ways that news cycles, social media and digital content secretly program our minds for stress and anxiety. From doom-scrolling news feeds to the comparative trap of social media, we're uncovering how these daily habits might be sabotaging your peace of mind.
I take you through some real-world examples, including how local news consumption can trigger unnecessary fear responses and how social media narratives about aging and health can create self-fulfilling prophecies. Plus, we take a look at the science behind the mind-body connection, exploring how the placebo and nocebo effects demonstrate the incredible power our thoughts have over our physical well-being.
Key Takeaways:
The news cycle and social media can create subliminal stress that affects our daily livesOur beliefs and expectations can physically manifest in our bodiesPractical tips for auditing and moderating your content consumptionThe importance of choosing media that serves your well-beingStrategies for breaking free from the comparison trap on social mediaLINKS

I see more and more women in their 40's, 50's and even 60's âwho are struggling with burnout. And while you could attribute this to things like perimenopause, thereâs usually a lot more going on here. In recent discussions with Gen X women, Iâve discovered a range of factors that contribute to this phenomenon.
We're caught between parenting roles and caring for ageing parents, all the while juggling the pressures of climbing our career ladders. It's no surprise that fatigue, hormonal complaints and burnout rear their heads as we try to do it all. So, letâs talk about these unseen behavioural drivers âthat are causing us to burn out in midlife. Today weâre exploring:
Understanding the midlife stress responseThe importance of the relaxation responseThe hidden drivers: people pleasing, perfectionism and proving our worthRediscovering balance between feminine and masculine energiesMidlife doesnât have to equate to burnout. By understanding these hidden drivers and adjusting our behaviours, we can reclaim a sense of calm and rediscover our natural rhythms. Iâd love to hear your stories and strategies for managing these challenges. Let me know so we can support each other on this journey to wellness and restoration.

Iâve noticed that my high-functioning clients seem to drink more than the average person. Theyâre women who juggle a lot of responsibilities and pressure, and tend to use alcohol more frequently. Itâs a way to switch off, or a bit of a reward at the end of a stressful day. Itâs also likely they do a lot of socialising and networking, which usually requires alcohol. Sometimes, itâs a way to find comfort and help them manage stress.
âReliance on alcohol builds up over time, and for many of us, we create these little stories about how rewarding, soothing and fun it can be for us. But the truth is, alcohol might actually be interfering with your ability to handle stress and might be affecting your health more than you know.
So how do we reduce our alcohol consumption without feeling like weâre missing out? Letâs talk about effective ways to drink a little less, and how you can still lead the fulfilling life youâre after.
Weâll discuss:
The impacts of alcohol: compromising gut health, hormonal balance and causing brain inflammation
Nutritious eating to reduce alcohol cravings: balancing blood glucose levels, eating regular, healthy meals and removing obvious sugars
Understanding biochemistry: how alcohol creates high dopamine spikes that lead to dopamine resistance and addiction
Letting go through lifestyle changes: make small dietary changes with the intention to drink less, allowing your brain chemistry to reset over time so it's no longer a crutch for you.Have a think about whether your alcohol consumption might be creeping up and if you could incorporate some of the solutions Iâve mentioned. Iâd love to hear what plans youâre making to lead a life centred less around alcohol and more around the health and happiness that will see you thrive!

Let's be real: running a business can be incredibly exhausting. But here's the thing - you don't have to operate on empty. There are three powerful sources of energy available to you right now, and when you tap into them correctly, they're practically unlimited. In this episode, we're cutting through the noise to explore how you can access these energy reserves, even during your busiest seasons.
Your physical energy is your foundation - it's what gets you out of bed and keeps you going when you're reaching for that second coffee. We'll explore how your cellular powerhouses (yes, your mitochondria!) are affected by stress, and why that 9:30 PM bedtime might be your new secret weapon.
Beyond the physical, weâre talking about mental and spiritual (life force) energy playing crucial roles in your daily performance. From practical hacks like managing your blood sugar levels for razor-sharp focus, to identifying which tasks actually light you up (and which ones you should delegate), weâll discuss how to create sustainable energy that fuels both your business and your passion. By the end of this episode, you'll have actionable strategies to tap into all three energy sources, helping you show up as your best self in business and life.
Key Takeaways:
Physical Energy: Sleep optimisation, nutrition balance and mitochondrial healthMental Energy: Focus management, stress reduction and blood sugar regulationSpiritual Energy: Task alignment, delegation strategies and passion-driven productivityLINKS

Do you ever feel as though life is just one exhausting treadmill? You work hard, balance responsibilities, and yet, can't seem to shake off that constant feeling of fatigue. You may be surprised to learn that this overwhelming exhaustion might have nothing to do with your workload.
Fatigue manifests as sleepless nights, heightened stress and a dip in mood, affecting mental wellbeing. It's easy to attribute these symptoms to a demanding schedule. But what if the real culprit has nothing to do with how much youâre doing?
In this episode, Iâm talking about the real reason you might be burnt out, and how you can find renewed energy without altering your daily routine.
It's all about the bodyâs energy production and stress management. Our cells are equipped with mitochondria, often referred to as natural batteries, responsible for generating energy. When you increase activity, your body produces more mitochondria through a process known as mitochondrial biogenesis, resulting in enhanced energy levels. Essentially, the more we do, the more we can do.
Weâll also explore how to improve mitochondrial health, including:
Reducing stress hormonesCorrecting internal imbalancesFocusing on mental healthRemember, low energy levels donât dictate your capacity. By enhancing mitochondrial health and managing stress, you can achieve more without feeling drained. You donât need a dramatic lifestyle change to start feeling better. Small tweaks in your daily routine can drastically improve your energy, allowing you to live a much fuller life.

Have you ever been in a place where you're watching every bite you eat, sticking to a strict exercise routine to feel fit, yet you still end up feeling tired or not as healthy as you wish?
Itâs downright frustrating, isn't it? You're following all the rules, so why isn't it working?
Well the culprit could be the gut-brain axis.
Have you ever felt a 'nervous stomach' before speaking in public, or butterflies before a big event?
Thatâs your mind talking to your gut. Similarly, if you're stressed about food, your body can have a harder time digesting food properly.
Recently, a client of mine experienced this first-hand. She had chronic gut issues, liver problems, and multiple food intolerances. Over time, we worked on gut healing, and her health improved significantly.
However, some symptoms returned, not as severe, but they were there.
It turned out that her extreme focus on her eating plan was the problem. Her anxiety about deviating from her diet was causing stress and affecting her gut. I told her she needed to trust the healing we had done and her body's ability to handle different foods.
When we spoke again a month later her symptoms had vanished, and she was enjoying a variety of foods with ease. This showed her just how powerful her mind was over her body.
So, think about your own relationship with food. Are you always strict with your eating? Do your symptoms appear when you eat off-plan? Take a moment to recognise how much your thoughts might be shaping your physical symptoms and your feelings about food.
Iâd absolutely love to hear your thoughts, let me know in the comments below!

What does anxiety stop you from doing?
How does it interfere with the life you want to live âor the work you want to do?
If youâve ever felt anxietyâs grip, you know it can be debilitating and itâs a serious hurdle that blocks a lot of people from living the life they want.
The thing is, anxiety isnât your enemy. When you feel your heart beating faster, your palms sweating and your mind going a hundred miles an hour, your brain has detected something that it believes is a threat, whether you're aware of it or not.
It all starts with the amygdalaâa tiny but mighty security system within your mind. It prepares your body just in case the future poses a threat. This can be triggered by a shadow lurking in your peripheral vision or a simple thought. Whether there is a physical threat or itâs just in your thinking, the response is exactly the same.
When we feel anxious, of course we want it to go away. But that resistance to anxiety is the very thing that amplifies it. The best way to reduce anxiety is to do whatever youâre doing with anxiety anyway. Then, your brain learns that it is safe.
Hereâs what Iâve learnt about anxiety:
1. Anxiety Is Not Your Enemy: Understand that the racing heart and dry mouth you experience arenât signs of weakness but signals that your body is gathering its resources to perform well.
2. Do It Anyway: It sounds almost too simple, but allowing yourself to undertake tasks with anxiety rather than fighting it can often diminish its strength.
3. Exposure Is Your Friend: Repeated exposure to anxiety-inducing situations can, over time, teach your amygdala that you are safe. The more presentations you give, the less intimidating they become, proving to your brain that the perceived threat is manageable.
What would you find yourself doing if your anxiety didnât stand in the way?
Accept that feeling nervous is a part of the journey, and let it come and go without letting it hold you back. Teach your amygdala through exposure, and transform anxiety from a barrier into a stepping stone toward your aspirations. Remember, it's not about getting rid of anxiety; it's about understanding and thriving despite it.

What if everything you've been taught about self-improvement is actually wrong?
This question might make you uneasy, especially if you're accustomed to the constant chase for improvement, whether that's being smarter, richer or more talented. The truth is, many of these teachings hinge on a detrimental ideaâyou're not enough as you are. And here's where the conversation gets interesting. There's a profound shift available to us if we dare to step beyond the fallacies.
At the very root of many self-improvement journeys is a sense of lackâa belief that we must undergo constant transformation in order to succeed. I've been there myself. Like many, I found myself engrossed in strategies, coaching sessions and personal critiques, all the while nurturing an underlying belief that I wasn't good enough.
My breakthrough? Understanding that we possess far more innate tools can liberate us from self-doubt. Seeing this potential within ourselves is key, and it calls for a deeper understanding of insights. Insights, as opposed to the exhausting grind of constant willpower, offer us transformative 'aha' moments that can fundamentally change our behaviours and beliefs.
If you're finding yourself ensnared in your goals or life challenges and are unable to move forward, this episode is for you. I encourage you to pause and allow space for an insight to emerge. Often, itâs when we still our minds that the greatest revelations occur. So next time you're stuck, take a moment to quiet the noise and seek that guiding insight.
Key takeaways:
The trap of perceived inadequacyShifting perspectives through insightsThe ineffectiveness of flaw-focused self-developmentThe transformative power of insights and how they can create instant changeRelying on insights over intellect Trusting the unseen intelligenceLINKS

Have you ever found yourself pushing the limits, working tirelessly towards a goal, and still feeling like youâre not getting anywhere?
Whether it's achieving personal health milestones, chasing career aspirations, or pursuing hobbies, sometimes it seems like the harder we work, the further away success feels. This continuous cycle can be exhausting, and Iâve been thereâmaking things look harder than they should be has almost become part of my identity.
But what if I told you thereâs a different approach, a way to achieve a 10x leap in what you want without all the sweat and toil? Allow me to introduce you to the intriguing concept of quantum leap success, inspired by one of my all-time favourite books, âYou2â by Price Pritchett. Itâs just 37 pages, but itâs jam-packed with profound ideas and insights that can revolutionise your perspective on success and achievement.
In the world of quantum physics, particles can jump from one place to another seemingly without effort. They donât take the typical step-by-step path we often assume is necessary for success. This notion of a quantum leap suggests that we can achieve massive progress not by ticking off every box meticulously but by embracing a more intuitive and open approach.
While hard work is important, success often requires an element of unseen forcesâa bit of luck, serendipity or intuition that is beyond our control. Today, Iâm taking you through my personal breakthrough that transformed my entire outlook - and my business. Weâll also explore the importance of seeking clarity about our goals and taking action towards them, while remaining open to unforeseen guidance, is crucial.
So how can you invite these unseen forces into your journey, whether they be intuition or that much-needed clarity? Perhaps itâs through meditation, spending time in nature, or simply taking a pause to think. Whatever it is, find your method to allow a fresh perspective or a new insight to flourish, guiding you towards achieving your goals with ease rather than struggle.

Does your life look the same as it did last year, even though youâve made goals to change it?
If youâre battling the same issues youâve had for years or youâve been struggling with things like chronic illness and weight loss, the problem isnât in your strategy.
Itâs an identity issue.
Right now, you have two identities: the present oneâwho you believe yourself to be right nowâand the second identity, which is the person you aspire to become. Maybe you want to improve your financial situation, build stronger relationships, lose weight or pursue a new career. Whatever it is, these desires create your second identity.
Which identity occupies more of your mental space?
Listen to the language you use and the intentions you set daily. Always speak to where you want to be, not where you are right now. I've seen this pattern repeatedly, whether it's with clients stuck in a chronic health situation or those struggling to lose weight. They often identify so strongly with their current situation that they inevitably stay stuck in it. Their entire lives revolve around managing the status quo rather than breaking free from it.
In order to shift your habits and behaviours, you need to identify with the person you want to be. Visualise yourself as healthy, robust, disciplined, and focused. As you do this, you reclaim your ability to take action and stay committed to your goals.
The year will move by quickly, as it always does. So if you really want to see something shift this year, take a moment to reflect on where your mental energy is going and where an identity shift is necessary.
Who is the person that needs to execute your goals?

You eat all the right foods and take all the right supplements, yet still feel exhausted, while other people seem to eat what they want and have an abundance of energy.
Whatâs going on?!
Some clients come to me having tried carnivore, keto, low carb and every supplement under the sun but no matter what they do for their physical bodies, they still feel tired, stressed and burnt out.
What we consume matters, absolutely, but what if I told you there's an infinite source of energy available to you beyond the realms of food and pills?
Iâm talking about life force and how tapping into it can transform your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Life force is the essence of being; itâs what keeps us thriving on this blue ball in space. Itâs abundant in nature and while we often overlook its significance, it's a concept embedded in ancient healing practices across the globe. In India, it's known as prana; in Chinese medicine, it's referred to as chi or ki; and in Hawaiian culture, it's called mana. Irrespective of its name, the essence remains the same. It can be nurtured, expanded, or, unfortunately, diminished.
A few years ago I worked with a client who had been living with fatigue for 14 years. Despite trying everything in the way of diets, supplements and meditations, she felt lifeless. During one session, she revealed her deep longing to start a business in the holistic spaceâsomething she'd always dismissed as impossible. I encouraged her to pursue this dream and she took a leap of faith. Two weeks later, she was transformed; her energy and zest for life returned.
What held her back was the belief that her dreams were impossible and that is what diminished her life force.
Something we donât do often enough is sit quietly to ask the deeper questions. If you know that your life force is lacking and you want to cultivate a higher sense of vitality and freedom in your life, start by thinking about what truly excites you, even if it doesnât feel possible.
âIt's all about âdoing what brings you life and stopping the things that don't.

How many hours a day do you spend in stressful thinking? One hour, six hours, 12 hours? When I ask people this question, theyâll usually say, âOh, maybe an hour.â And trust me, that is a huge underestimation! âWe've become so accustomed to our level of negative thinking that we don't even notice it anymore.
Conversely, when I ask people how many hours of their waking day they spend in a quiet, peaceful mind, theyâll say: âOh, Iâm lucky if itâs an hourâ. That means all other hours of the day - letâs say 15 waking hours - is being spent in stressful thinking.
So how does constant, long term negative thinking really impact us, and how do we stop it? Today, Iâm taking you through the biochemical effects of negative thinking, how to identify common negative thought patterns and how you can break the cycle to change the way you feel.
By paying attention to our internal dialogue and choosing to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, we can radically transform our mental and physical well-being.
Remember, it really is a choice. You have the power to reclaim your thoughts and in turn, your life.

It's ingrained in our culture to believe that losing weight is simply a matter of eating less and exercising more. But anyone who's tried this route knows the intense cravings and hunger that can so often follow.
Think of your body as having a metabolic control centreâa command hub that regulates hormones influencing your appetite, cravings, and even how much energy you expend. While we can't directly control this metabolic centre, we can influence the signals it receives.
Stress, poor sleep, and inappropriate eating patterns can send harmful signals, which makes your body switch to glucose over body fat as an energy source. By reducing stress and prioritising relaxation, you create a safe environment for your body to burn body fat for fuel.
Ultimately, we need to shift our perspectives from self-blame to a broader understanding of the many external factors that influence our metabolism. Only then can make informed lifestyle changes that support our overall health and help manage our hunger more effectively.
