Peak Revival

Being called “strong” sounds like a compliment. And it is. But it can also become a role you don’t know how to step out of. In this episode, we’re talking about the “strong woman trap” and why it’s one of the quickest paths to burnout, especially when you’re the one everyone relies on and you’re quietly running on fumes.
We’ll unpack the red flags that often look harmless on the surface. The “I’m just tired” and “I’m just busy” symptoms that are actually signs you’re overstretching, over-functioning, and carrying far more than is healthy. We’ll cover patterns like compartmentalising emotions, the “I’ll just do it myself” reflex, and why support can be right there but still not feel accessible.
And we’ll finish by redefining what real strength actually is. Not endless endurance, but awareness. Not proving you can do it all, but noticing the pattern early, letting yourself be supported, and making small shifts before your body or your life forces you to.

If your brain feels like it has a million tabs open, you’re probably living in left-brain overdrive. In this episode, I break down the difference between left-brain “get it done” mode (planning, analysing, problem-solving, constant mental to-do lists) and right-brain “bigger picture” mode (creativity, intuition, emotional regulation, presence).
We’ll look at the signs you’re stuck in overthinking and perfectionism, why productivity can start to feel like pressure, and how to give your right brain more airtime through simple practices like movement, nature, cooking, creativity, and real connection.
This isn’t about being less ambitious. It’s about building success with more balance, clarity, and ease, and using creativity and intuition as real leadership tools, not “nice to haves”

Your gut isn’t just about digestion. It can shape your mood, your energy, your focus, and how well you handle stress day to day. In this episode, we’re talking about what a “high-performing gut” actually means and the four pillars that support it, without getting lost in overwhelm or needing expensive testing to get started.
We’ll cover why food diversity matters more than you think, how prebiotics act as the fuel your gut bacteria need, when probiotics can help (and why they often don’t stick without the right foundation), and the lifestyle factors that quietly undo all your effort, especially stress and poor sleep.
If you’ve been dealing with brain fog, fatigue, mood swings, bloating, or you just feel “off” more often than you’d like, this is a practical place to start.

Ever notice how some women seem to get more done with seemingly little stress while others achieve far less while working themselves to the bone?
There’s plenty of advice out there on time management and productivity but today I’m calling it… productivity is outdated. Capacity is the new currency in business and life.
Being busy doesn't necessarily equal results. You can work countless hours and still find yourself miles away from your goals. For women in particular, there's something more important that determines how much we can truly accomplish. It's all about capacity: our inner world, energy and identity.
Inspired by Tim Gallwey’s formula for performance, I’ve created my own formula to help you reach your peak potential: Energy x Focus - Interference = Performance.
Key Takeaways:
Energy isn't just a state of mind. It's your life force, the fire behind every goal.
If energy fuels your day, focus is the engine that drives you forward.
The biggest interference is the mental chatter that distracts and detracts from your performance.

So, how do you start living at this peak level of performance? It begins with creating a solid plan, committing to it and taking deliberate action.
What's the first move you need to make to unlock your capacity?

New Year's resolutions start strong and fizzle out fast. But what if we approached goal setting differently this time? Today we're exploring reverse goal setting, a fresh method that starts by reflecting on the past year before mapping out real, lasting change for 2026.
We’ll take a look at what 2025 cost you. Were there areas where you felt spread too thin? Did you find yourself stuck in cycles of stress, or did old habits hold you back? I walk you through reflecting on the emotional, physical and mental toll of last year and identifying what might have been missing. These insights are crucial for setting a clearer path forward. Then we look ahead to December 2026 and imagine meeting your future self: healthy, vibrant and grounded. What has she stopped doing? What new habits has she embraced? We explore the small, powerful steps you can take today to transform into that person.
We talk about choosing your 2026 word, the one that captures the energy you want to embody this year. For me, it's "connected." For you, it might be strength, clarity, freedom, power or energy. Whatever you choose, let it guide you through the year as you craft the best version of yourself.
