Confidence isn't something you were born with—but something you build, one bold step at a time.

This week, Roxie sits down with Dior Bediako: powerhouse founder, life coach, speaker, and Pepper Your Talk founder—a woman on a mission to help others rise, while staying deeply committed to her own evolution. But Dior’s mission goes far beyond CV tips and business strategy. She’s on a journey to help women untangle their self-worth from their job titles, their looks, and the expectations placed on them.

In this episode, Dior opens up about how she rebuilt her confidence from the inside out, how she overcame fear to leave the “safe job,” and how she learned to stop tying her value to other people’s opinions. We explore imposter syndrome, money mindset, emotional resilience, and the raw truth behind entrepreneurship. Whether you're chasing your next big goal or learning to believe you're worthy of one, this episode is a reminder that real power starts from within.

Roxie shares practical tools to help you honour your needs without the self-blame, and offers a mindset shift that will help you reframe boundaries not as walls, but as acts of self-respect. Whether it’s with family, friends, work or even social media — this is your permission slip to protect your peace.

In one of our most powerful and emotional episodes yet, Roxie sits down with TV personality, author, and podcast host Pete Wicks, for a raw conversation about identity, grief, masculinity, and vulnerability. Known for his tough exterior, Pete opens up about the deep pain of losing his nan, who he calls his soulmate, and how her death forced him to confront parts of himself he had long buried. He speaks honestly about his relationship with alcohol, anger, romance, as well as the life changing friendship he has with Sam Thompson.

We see how Pete challenges the stereotypes around what it means to be a man as we discuss accountability, emotional growth, and rising from your lowest points.
