In this episode, Katy sits down with Dr Rachel Evans, PhD psychologist and founder of Nourish, a private eating disorder practice. Rachel shares her own experience of developing an eating disorder during her studies, why she walked away from the NHS model entirely, and how she built a practice that actually fits the people she works with. They get into the link between perfectionism and disordered eating, the patterns she sees in ambitious women, and why knowing all the tools doesn't mean you always want to use them.
Key Takeaways:
Perfectionism and fear of failure often run on the same fuel.
Rachel's eating disorder and perfectionism fed each other throughout her studies - the fear of criticism, the need for good grades, the sense that achievement was the only thing she was good at.There's a difference between adaptive and maladaptive perfectionism.
Adaptive perfectionists have high standards and the self-compassion to handle it when they fall short. Maladaptive perfectionists beat themselves up, or avoid doing the work entirely because it might not be perfect.The NHS model isn't built for everyone, and Rachel built her practice around that.
Three-hour intakes, support between sessions, no mandatory weigh-ins. She knew from her own experience as a client that one size doesn't fit all, so she built something that doesn't pretend otherwise.High-achieving women often use food control as the only place the mask comes off.
When you put everything into presenting an in-control business persona, something has to give somewhere. Rachel describes how that release can show up as binging or restricting in private, in a way that doesn't show on the outside.Having the tools doesn't mean you always want to use them.
Rachel is a psychologist who admits she doesn't always use her own tools. Sometimes something is just rubbish and you need to sit in it for an hour first. That honesty is the point.Connect with Rachel on Instagram @Rachel.evans.phd and download her free ebook to start understanding your relationship with food here.

In this episode of the unshakeable talks, Katy sits down with Emma Notschild for a conversation about network marketing, entrepreneurship, confidence and the assumptions women still face when they choose a business path outside the norm. Together, they talk about the stigma around direct sales, what it really takes to make a flexible business work, and why so many women are craving not just extra income, but confidence, community and something that is truly their own.
Key Takeaways:
Women are allowed to build business differently.
There is more than one valid path to income, leadership and independence, and not every successful business has to fit the traditional corporate mold.
Flexibility does not mean easy.
A business that fits around life can be powerful, but it still requires consistency, effort and a willingness to work when nobody is watching.
Confidence grows through action.
Many women do not start because they don’t feel ready - they become more self-assured by showing up, learning new skills and doing the work anyway.
Perception is not always truth.
People often judge women in beauty, sales or online business quickly, but assumptions say very little about someone’s intelligence, work ethic or capability.
Community can change what feels possible.
Being around women who are building, growing and backing each other can be just as powerful as the money, especially for women who have lost part of themselves in motherhood or routine.

In this episode of the Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Nikki St Paul, business coach and Good Girl Slayer, for a conversation about the subconscious patterns so many ambitious women are still carrying into business. Together, they talk about how people-pleasing, perfectionism, overthinking and the need for external validation keep women small, and what it really takes to move with conviction, back yourself fully, and build success in a way that actually feels true.
Key Takeaways:
Good girl conditioning follows you into business.
The habits that once helped you fit in can quietly turn into people-pleasing, perfectionism and overthinking that keep your business stuck.
Conviction matters more than getting it perfect.
Nikki shares how real growth came from moving before she had proof, trusting herself, and making decisions without waiting for certainty.
You do not need everyone to understand you.
A big part of growth is being willing to be misunderstood by many so the right people can fully see and trust you.
Pivoting is not failure.
Changing direction, refining your message and starting small are often the exact moves that create momentum, and that momentum only happens when we position pivoting as opportunity, not failure.
Celebrate what is already working.
Nikki talks honestly about how overachieving can rob women of joy, and why recognising your courage and progress changes everything.

In this episode of The Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Emily, a Human Design business coach and strategist, to explore how understanding your energetic blueprint can help you build a business that actually fits who you are. Together they talk about visibility, identity, motherhood, neurodivergence, business growth and why the most sustainable success often comes from working with yourself instead of constantly trying to override your natural way of operating.
Key Takeaways:
Human Design can be a practical business tool, not just a spiritual concept.
Human Design can help you understand how your energy works, where your strengths sit, and what may need support in your business decisions, visibility and business model.
Visibility gets easier when you build evidence that it’s safe to be seen.
Rather than waiting to feel fully confident, showing up consistently helps your body learn that being visible, judged or misunderstood is survivable.
Your business should work with your life, not against it.
Emily shares how motherhood, neurodivergence, energy, boundaries and capacity all shaped the way she built her business, instead of forcing herself into someone else’s model of success.
Embodiment takes longer than information.
Knowing something intellectually is not the same as living it. Deep change in business identity, confidence and strategy takes time to land.
You are not broken, you may just need a different blueprint.
Whether the challenge is visibility, money, capacity or confidence, self-awareness should expand you, not box you in.

In this episode of The Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Paula, founder of Haus of Authority™, to talk about what it really means to build authority in business without squeezing yourself into an identity, brand or leadership style that was never truly yours. Together they talk about visibility, confidence, authenticity, personal branding, standing out online, and why the women who create the biggest impact are so often the ones who stop trying to fit the mould and start fully owning what makes them different.
Key Takeaways:
Authority starts with owning what makes you different.
The thing that makes people choose you is rarely more strategy or more noise; it’s the part of your work, perspective and personality that only you can bring.
You do not need to become louder to become more visible.
Real authority is not about performing confidence online, it’s about having enough internal conviction in what you do that people can feel it whether you’re bold, quiet, gentle or outspoken.
Blending in is expensive in business.
If your brand sounds like everyone else, people may understand what you do, but they still won’t know why they should choose you over someone else.
A strong brand should still work when life wobbles.
When your authority is embedded into your whole business, your work can keep speaking for itself even when life forces you to step back for a moment.
Failure is not proof you’re not good enough.
The women who keep growing are usually the ones who stop making setbacks mean something personal and start treating them as information, feedback and redirection instead.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Motherhood Empowerment Coach and Return to Work specialist Emma Ford to talk about what really happens when ambitious women become mothers and then have to navigate going back into the workplace. They talk about everything from matrescence and postnatal depression to the loneliness of new motherhood, the messy reality of UK maternity policy, and the pressure women feel to ‘have it all’ at home and at work, often with very little honest support from either side.
Key Takeaways:
Motherhood changes your identity, not just your diary.
Becoming a mum isn’t a quick life admin update; it’s a hormonal, emotional and identity shift (matrescence) that reshapes your priorities, capacity and sense of self - whether you expected it or not.
Honest conversations reduce loneliness more than perfect support.
Even with more podcasts, coaches and communities than ever, many mothers still feel lonely because we’re censoring our real experiences instead of saying, “this is hard and here’s what it actually looks like for me.”
You can’t project‑manage your way out of the hard bits.
No amount of lists, classes or colour‑coded calendars will fully prepare you for how motherhood feels, and trying to optimise every moment often just adds pressure instead of creating space.
Returning to work needs more than a date in the calendar.
A welcome back email and a couple of KIT (keeping in touch) days are not a re‑onboarding plan; women need clarity, realistic expectations, and a space to rebuild confidence if they’re going to stay and thrive rather than quietly leave.
‘Having it all’ has to be redefined on your terms.
For some women that’s the corporate ladder, for others it’s flexible work, entrepreneurship or a complete pivot - but it only works when you’re willing to be honest about your capacity, your season and what you’re prepared to compromise on.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by shadow work expert and founder of Subconscious Couture, Suzie - also known online as ‘ShadowB*tch’ - for a conversation about shadow work, capacity and self‑abandonment in business. Together they unpack how your disowned parts quietly run the show, why so many high‑achieving women still hit burnout even when they’re ‘doing the work’, and what it actually takes to build a business that doesn’t just look good from the outside but feels genuinely sustainable on the inside.
Key Takeaways:
Your shadow is running more of your life than you think.
Shadow parts are the pieces of you you’ve shut down or disowned to survive, from the people‑pleaser to the performer to the victim. Until you bring them into the light, they keep quietly dictating your decisions, relationships and business results from the background.
You don’t need to kill off old versions of you to grow.
Trying to bury past selves and old identities just creates more shadow and more inner conflict. The real liberation comes when you let those parts back in and start working with them instead of pretending they’re not there.
Most women are leaking capacity long before they hit burnout.
You can restructure your diary and hire more help, but if you don’t address underlying patterns, you’ll keep feeling maxed out no matter how much you change on the surface.
Healing work that keeps you circling the past isn’t enough.
There’s a difference between endlessly processing and actually shifting - insight alone can leave you sitting in your story, whereas deeper shadow work is about moving emotions through and changing how you show up now.
The strategy that really moves your business is who you’re willing to be.
When you stop compromising on your own energy, stop diluting your edge, and allow yourself to be as weird, wacky and wonderful as you really are, the money and momentum become a byproduct instead of a constant uphill push.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with a very special guest - her daughter, Robin. They have an unfiltered conversation about what building a business as a woman actually looks like from the inside and the front row. They answer your listener's questions, and talk about inherited work habits, the clash between caregiving and ambition, the illusion of freedom in entrepreneurship, and why Gen Z is both drawn to and wary of the entrepreneurial dream. They also explore stats for women‑led businesses, what kids really notice about always‑on work, and how both generations are redefining what a good, sustainable life at work actually means.
Key Takeaways:
Your work habits are inherited as much as designed.
Growing up around hustle, burnout or structure shapes how you see work, risk and career - whether you copy it, rebel against it, or consciously choose something in between.
Caregiving and ambition will always be in conversation.
When you’re the one holding more of the mental and emotional load at home, it inevitably influences the risks you take, the pace you grow at, and what success feels safe to pursue.
Entrepreneurship isn’t the shortcut to freedom it’s sold as.
Flexible hours often come with fewer real breaks, more late nights, and a constant low‑level responsibility that follows you on holidays and into bed.
The system is still skewed, but you’re not powerless.
Even when funding and opportunity aren’t distributed equally, you still get to decide how you pitch, where you seek support, and whether you build something that can grow without permission.
Every generation is rewriting what ‘a good life’ at work looks like.
Younger women are questioning traditional paths, experimenting with entrepreneurship, and forcing a more honest conversation about trade‑offs, capacity and what they actually want their days to feel like.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Nooshin, a women’s tailor working out of London’s iconic Savile Row, to talk about why what you wear as a woman in business is so much more than just clothes. Nooshin shares how tailoring became both her craft and her way of serving ambitious women who want their wardrobe to match the life they’re building. They explore confidence, menopause, surgery, changing bodies, post‑Covid workwear, motherhood, delegation, and why having a visiting tailor come to your office or home can be both deeply practical and quietly luxurious.
Key Takeaways:
Clothes can be a quiet strategy for confidence.
The right pieces shift posture, presence and self‑belief, especially in rooms where you need to feel anchored and visible.
Tailoring is about life transitions, not just looking smart.
Thoughtful cuts and fabrics can hold you through promotions, menopause, surgery and body changes, not just make you look smart.
Entrepreneurship is not as glamorous as it looks.
Behind Savile Row showrooms are years of hustling, rebuilding after Covid and stretching every pound to keep a vision alive. It’s not just sipping champagne and making lots of money all the time.
Growth needs delegation and boundaries.
You cannot scale a business by doing everything yourself; asking for help is part of serving clients better and protecting your energy.
Women’s networks are a business superpower.
Generational role models and modern‑day allies make it easier to take risks, escalate decisions and keep going when things feel hard.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with certified identity coach Kirsty Mason to explore what it really means to become the main character in your life and business. From being literally trained to stay invisible as a sign language interpreter, to standing on stages and leading women through deep mindset and nervous system work, Kirsty shares the messy, honest truth behind reinvention in your 30s and 40s. They talk about money stories, visibility fears, generational patterns, motherhood, relationships, and why surface-level ‘good vibes only’ mindset work will never create the freedom you’re craving.
Key Takeaways:
Your career can reflect your childhood beliefs
Kirsty realised she had spent 16 years in a job that literally kept her quiet, mirroring a childhood belief that she ‘wasn’t important enough to be heard’. Once she saw this pattern, she understood why she had chosen a role that kept her in the shadows and why it no longer felt aligned.
Deep mindset work goes beyond journaling
What most of us consume online is surface-level mindset: gratitude lists, affirmations and ‘think positive’ content that doesn’t touch the beliefs we’ve carried for decades. True transformation needs subconscious work and nervous system regulation, not just nicer thoughts on paper.
Your nervous system has an income ceiling too
You can only earn as much as your nervous system can safely hold, which is why so many women hit the same money ceiling no matter how hard they work. Unless you work on your relationship with money and your capacity to receive, strategy alone will always feel like it’s not working.
Success is personal, not a 10k month
The online obsession with 5k and 10k months creates pressure, shame and comparison for women who are actually doing really well by their own standards. Success might look like freedom of choice, flexibility, or feeling present with your kids, not a number.
Generational change starts in your living room
Kirsty sees herself as a ‘generational chain breaker’, intentionally changing the language she uses, how she talks about money, and the way she models possibility to her children.
If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Kirsty on Instagram @kirsty_mason_coaching. You can also listen to Kirsty’s Secret Free Podcast ‘Selling on Stories Like a CEO’ where she teaches how to create consistent, predictable sales through your Instagram stories.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, I’m joined by Laura, a financial speaker, creator and host of the Mind Money Soul podcast, to talk about why your money problems don’t actually start with money. We get into her journey from saving £15,000 for drama school to deciding to spend it all on traveling the world instead, and how that experience led her into the world of financial psychology and helping women understand the emotional side of money. We talk about overspending as a coping mechanism, money leaks, money dates, investing fears and why wealth is about your whole life (not just your bank balance). Laura also shared an exclusive with us about her book launching later this year.
Key Takeaways:
Money is emotional before it’s practical.
Most of us think money is about maths, spreadsheets and budgets, but the real driver is how you feel about yourself, your worth and your life - overspending, avoidance and chaos are often emotional responses, not being ‘bad with money’.
Overspending is often self‑soothing.
Impulse buys, ‘I’ve had a bad day’ splurges and constant treats can be a way to regulate stress, low self‑worth or feeling ‘not enough,’ especially for women sold the idea that we need more stuff to be acceptable.
You can’t change what you won’t look at.
Many women say they “can’t save” without actually knowing where their money goes; tracking spending and finding money leaks (unused subscriptions, endless Uber Eats) often reveals cash that could fund what they truly value.
Budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about intention.
Rich people budget too - they just give more to each category. A budget that matches your values helps you enjoy your life and move towards bigger goals instead of wondering where it all went.
Regular money dates build confidence and relief.
Sitting down monthly to review numbers, notice patterns, ask how money felt that month and adjust going forward turns money from a source of anxiety into a relationship you actually understand and feel in control of.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Lauren, a lifestyle‑first business coach who helps solopreneur women build businesses that work around their lives, not the other way round. Lauren shares how she started her business during the pandemic, built it in just one focused hour a day while caring for her terminally ill granddad, and eventually realised she’d accidentally created her ‘worst nightmare’. The business she built had a complicated offer stack and launch calendar that left no room for real life. Lauren shares with us how simplifying to one core offer changed everything.
Key Takeaways:
Life will hit - build for it.
At some point it will be illness, caregiving, kids, travel or sheer exhaustion, and your business model needs to be able to hold you through those seasons instead of collapsing the second you slow down.
You can grow with one focused hour a day.
Growth comes from being intentional, strategic and focused, instead of spreading yourself thin across tasks that don’t ‘move the needle’.
Many ‘good’ businesses are secretly unsustainable.
A full calendar, stacked offers and constant launches can look successful but feel like a house of cards when everything relies on you being on, available and at your desk 24/7.
One core offer can unlock real freedom.
Shifting from multiple programs, courses and launches into one signature offer is really all you need to have a successful business AND spaciousness to travel, rest and actually have a life.
Honest self‑audits come before change.
You can’t design a lifestyle‑first business if you won’t admit what’s actually burning you out, what’s not working anymore, and what needs to go, even if it’s currently ‘working’ on paper.
If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Lauren on Instagram @laurellenbarlow. You can also listen to Lauren’s free 5-part private podcast called "Simply Scaling to 6-Figures" about how to take one single offer to the 6-figure lifetime mark.

In this episode of the Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to Emma Rothwell, founder of The Quirky Giraffe to understand exactly how she built a six-figure business from a £500 investment… from her boyfriend’s parents’ garage.
What started as a lockdown side hustle quickly turned into something much bigger, as Emma talks about how she went from corporate marketing to running a fast-growing e-commerce brand all by following her intuition, taking risks, and saying yes to every opportunity.
Emma also shares the behind-the-scenes about her experience on The Apprentice, the reality of being thrown into high-pressure environments without your support system, and how what felt like failure at the time became the catalyst for her biggest identity shift yet.
This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something you’re born with… it’s something you build through experience, resilience, and backing yourself when it matters most.
Key Takeaways:
You don’t need perfect conditions to start
Emma built her business with a £500 investment during lockdown, proving that you don’t need the perfect plan, timing, or setup to begin… just a willingness to take action and figure things out as you go.
Your environment shapes how you show up
Being removed from her support system during The Apprentice experience showed Emma just how much confidence, performance, and identity are influenced by the people around you.
Confidence is built through experience, not theory
From starting a business to appearing on national TV, Emma’s journey shows that real confidence comes from putting yourself in uncomfortable situations, not waiting until you feel ready.
Sometimes what feels like failure is the turning point
Being voted off The Apprentice in week one felt like a huge setback, but ultimately became the moment that shifted Emma into a new level of self-trust and internal confidence.
Standing out matters more than fitting in
In a saturated market, Emma built her brand by doing things differently… from bold marketing ideas to creating content that stops the scroll and gets people talking.
Build your business with an exit in mind
From the start, Emma approached her business with long-term vision - understanding whether she wanted to run it for lifestyle or scale it to sell, and making decisions accordingly.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Jojo, a strategic self-expression coach who helps women turn their identity into their greatest business asset. They talk about what it really means to stop shape-shifting for approval, reclaim the parts of you that have been called ‘too much,’ and become unapologetically magnetic in life and business. Jojo shares the identity shakeup that’s happened for her over the last few months, from hiding behind outfits and external validation to becoming the woman who walks into a room and is instantly remembered for her energy, presence and self-trust.
Key Takeaways:
Your ‘too much’ is actually an asset
The traits you’ve been told to tone down - being loud, colourful, emotional, extra - are often the exact things that make you magnetic to the right people and clients. When you build a brand around those traits instead of hiding them, you stop attracting the wrong people and start calling in the ones who are truly meant to be in your world.
External validation will always keep you small
When your worth is tied to how noticed, praised or approved you are, every room becomes a test and every comment can knock your confidence. Shifting focus opens up space to actually receive opportunities, growth and genuine connection.
Authenticity is vulnerable, but it’s where magnetism lives
Being your whole self is confronting, because it makes you a mirror for everyone else’s insecurities, projections and unfulfilled desires. Some people will be triggered, but others will feel deeply seen and permissioned to be themselves too - and those are the people your work is for.
You attract as much as you repel
When you accept that magnetism includes both attraction and repulsion, criticism stops meaning ‘there’s something wrong with me’ and starts signalling that your message is clear and potent.
Discipline and identity shifts change your reality
Treating discipline as self-respect, not punishment, creates compounding evidence that you can trust yourself, which transforms how you show up everywhere.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Chloe-Anne Collins - but this time, Katy is the one in the hot seat as she shares the story behind her journey to becoming an unshakeable woman. From leaving Germany with an eight-week-old baby, to building a multi six-figure cleaning business with a team of over 45 staff, to walking away from the ‘dream life’ on paper when she realised she was deeply unhappy, this conversation goes right to the root of what it really costs to keep performing success while you’re quietly falling apart.
Key Takeaways:
You’re allowed to outgrow your own success
Sometimes the business, career or life you worked so hard to build no longer fits who you are now. Walking away from something ‘great on paper’ can be the most honest next move you make.
Kindness needs boundaries to stay healthy
Over-giving, rescuing and constantly holding everything together might look like kindness, but it quickly turns into burnout when there are no limits. Real generosity includes protecting your time, energy and emotional capacity.
A perfect-looking life can still feel wrong
Having the house, the partner, the holidays and the money doesn’t guarantee you feel fulfilled. Feeling unhappy in a life that looks “ideal” from the outside is a signal to listen to yourself, not a reason to feel ashamed.
Being unshakeable means wobbling well
Unshakeable women still feel fear, doubt and overwhelm - they just don’t let those moments define them. The work is learning to notice the wobble, support yourself through it, and keep moving instead of collapsing or quitting.
You need different circles for different parts of you
No single group of people can hold every version of you.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Chrissie, the creator of The Mum Boss Method, for a conversation about menopause, identity, and reclaiming your confidence in midlife. Together they explore why so many women feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected during this stage of life, and how it can actually become the moment everything shifts. This episode is a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of anything, and it can be the beginning of your boldest, most unapologetic chapter yet.
Key Takeaways:
The symptoms you’re experiencing might not be ‘just stress.’
Many people write off anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or low confidence as simply being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes these symptoms are signals from your body that something deeper needs attention, and listening to them sooner can change everything.
Sustainable change starts with your identity, not just habits.
It’s easy to believe the answer lies in the perfect diet or workout routine. Real transformation happens when you explore your beliefs, mindset, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what’s possible for you.
Stress impacts your choices more than you realise.
When your stress levels are high, everything becomes harder - from sleeping well to making healthy decisions. Managing stress isn’t just about feeling calmer; it directly influences the habits and behaviours that shape your health and energy.
The power of the pause can change your reactions.
When emotions run high, we often react quickly in ways that don’t serve us. Taking a moment to pause creates space to respond with intention instead of reacting out of stress, frustration, or overwhelm.
Midlife can be a powerful reset, not a decline.
Many people are told life slows down or becomes more limited with age. In reality, this stage can be the perfect opportunity to redefine what you want, communicate more honestly, and build a life that truly fits who you’ve become.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gibbs-Ng, performance coach and host of the Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel podcast. Emma works with athletes, performers and high-profile leaders to help them regulate pressure, trust themselves again and perform at their best when the spotlight is on. In this episode, they talk about losing yourself while chasing success, the pressure entrepreneurs quietly carry, and why learning to stabilise your nervous system might be the missing piece between talent and true performance.
Key Takeaways:
Trust yourself first
So many entrepreneurs lose momentum when they start outsourcing their authority to other people’s opinions. Reconnecting with your own instincts may be the turning point that helps you reclaim your voice and direction.
Pressure isn’t about confidence
What most people call a confidence problem is actually a pressure problem. Learning how your nervous system holds and processes pressure can completely change how you perform in high-stakes moments.
You can lose yourself chasing success
Even when you build your own business, it’s easy to start conforming to industry rules that don’t feel right. Emma opens up about how trying to ‘do it the right way’ left her disconnected from who she really was.
The moment after success matters most
There’s plenty of support for preparing for big moments, but very little for what happens afterwards. Emma explains how the emotional comedown after a big win or performance can be just as important to navigate as the moment itself.
Your desires are evidence
If a dream keeps coming back to you, it’s not random. Emma believes those desires are signals from your future self - proof that you’re capable of achieving far more than you currently believe.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gaskin, an award-winning speaking coach, founder of The Speaking Hub and creator of the SPEAK UP Method. From rebuilding stroke patients’ speech in the National Health Service to rebuilding her own confidence after years of misdiagnosis and burnout, Emma shares the journey that led her to help women stop playing small and start getting paid to speak. Together, Katy and Emma unpack the stories we carry about being ‘too much,’ the fear of judgment, why women are still expected to speak for free, and how to turn your voice into your most magnetic business asset.
Key Takeaways:
Your voice is more than sound - it’s identity
The way you speak is shaped by your past, your beliefs and the stories you’ve internalised over time. When you begin to question those narratives, you create space to speak with more confidence, clarity and authority.
Staying quiet and playing small comes at a cost
Staying quiet to keep the peace or shrinking yourself to fit into rooms will eventually catch up with you. Choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable, is often the beginning of real growth.
Stop over-proving, start owning
Overdelivering and overexplaining can be a sign you’re trying to prove your worth. True confidence comes when you trust your value and allow your work to stand without constant justification.
Exposure isn’t payment, but strategy matters
Not every opportunity needs to be paid, but every opportunity should be intentional. When you align your visibility with your long-term goals, you stop chasing exposure and start building influence.
You don’t have to be the loudest to move the room
Powerful speaking isn’t about perfection or personality type. When you lean into your natural style and let your individuality shine, your message lands far more deeply.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Charmaine, co-owner of Hertford Studios. They talk about what it really takes to build a brick-and-mortar business from the ground up. Charmaine shares the identity shift, self-doubt and resilience that shaped her journey from being made redundant after 20 years in a role she loved, into stepping fully into business ownership. They also talk about running a company with your husband, navigating teenage motherhood alongside long workdays, and the uncomfortable reality that ‘having it all’ doesn’t quite exist in the way we’re sold.
Key Takeaways:
Sometimes what feels like a setback is the start of something bigger
Being forced out of something secure can shake your identity and your confidence. But the moments that unsettle you are often the ones that push you to finally define who you are and what you actually want.
You can be experienced and still doubt yourself
Confidence doesn’t automatically come with years of experience. Real self-trust is built when you stop looking for approval and start backing your own decisions - even when it feels uncomfortable.
Communication is everything in business and relationships
If you’re building a business alongside a partner, assumptions will create tension quickly. Open conversations about expectations, strengths, pressure and support are what protect both the company and the relationship.
‘Having it all’ probably doesn’t look the way you imagined
There is no perfect balance where everything runs smoothly all the time. Instead of chasing an ideal, focus on what matters most in this season of your life and give yourself permission to adjust as things evolve.
Not everyone will understand your next move - do it anyway
When you make bold decisions, some people will question them. Your job isn’t to convince everyone else; it’s to stay connected to your own vision and have the courage to follow it.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with intuitive business mentor Maria for a conversation about manifestation, intuition, and what it really takes to build a business on your own terms. From discovering The Secret during a low point in her life, to leaving a 13-year teaching career, Maria shares how mindset, emotional awareness and energetic alignment have shaped her journey into entrepreneurship. They unpack the science behind intuition, the realities of financial security when quitting a 9-5, the comparison traps of the online space, and why success has to be defined by freedom and authenticity instead of buying into the noise of the online business world.
Key Takeaways:
Manifestation is more than just wishing.
Manifestation starts with awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, not just repeating affirmations. Maria shares how shifting her mindset helped her attract her husband and later gave her the clarity to start her business.
Intuition is backed by science.
Intuition isn’t just a ‘gut feeling’ - it’s your electromagnetic field interacting with the world around you. By understanding how your energy, emotions, and beliefs broadcast outward, you can make more informed, aligned decisions in business and life.
Your mindset and energy shape business outcomes.
The way you perceive yourself and your business impacts what you attract and achieve. Small, subconscious patterns (like talking down your business) can limit growth if left unchecked.
Taking calculated risks matters.
Leaving a secure job requires both courage and preparation. Help yourself out by getting ahead on financial planning, building support systems, and creating realistic expectations when transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship.
Consistency and clarity is more important that comparison
Pivoting too often or listening to outside opinions can stall business growth. Trusting yourself, being consistent in your messaging, and fully embracing your unique approach is key to sustainable success.
