Feeling stuck? Need to get off the treadmill and escape the daily grind? Book a Rebel Reset Session with me here and I'll help you get clear on where you're going and how to get there.

What if freedom isn’t a stamp-filled passport but a calendar that finally breathes? I sit down with travel-writer-turned-coach Georgie Darling to unpack how a business can fund a bigger life instead of quietly swallowing it. From the early thrill of flights and flexible work to the hard truth of vanishing time, Georgie maps the shift from chasing escape to designing ease—on purpose.

We get specific about the levers that matter: auditing your workload to kill performative tasks, tightening your offer into services you love, and pricing for stability with retainers that buy back hours. Georgie shares how she helps creative women—writers, videographers, digital marketers—ditch hustle myths, set humane boundaries, and choose clients who energise instead of exhaust. For midlife listeners balancing kids and careers, we explore freedom that looks like steady income, clear guardrails and emotional confidence in your craft, not another app to master.

Travel can be a mirror. Notice the feelings you chase—curiosity, calm, aliveness—and rebuild your week to create them without a boarding pass. Start with a small rebellion: a half-day for joy, a solo lunch, a train to somewhere new. Then write to your future self and use simple tools— a goal breakdown, a firm schedule—to turn vision into steps. You don’t need every skill under the sun; you need mastery, messaging and the courage to say no when your gut whispers red flag.

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!

Fancy a quick chat? Book a connection call with me and let's see if I can help you disrupt your own status quo with a little coaching.

This week I sit down with Meg the Creator to dive into a calm, repeatable way to earn online without chasing followers, going live, or turning your life into content. Megan left her 9-5 job during maternity leave, paid off $60,000 in debt, and built a sustainable business by creating user‑generated content for brands—quiet work with loud results.

We unpack what UGC really is and why marketers love it: real people making authentic videos and photos that brands own and scale across ads and social. Megan breaks down how beginners get hired fast through apps like JoinBrands, Billo, Incense, and Tribe, often with scripts and shot lists provided. No portfolio? No problem. You’ll learn how to land first gigs in a day, and use simple negotiation to move from one‑offs to bundles and retainers. We dig into the psychology that sells—leading with emotion, not specs—and how to frame everyday benefits that drive clicks and conversions.

For introverts, this path feels humane. We talk boundaries that protect energy, batching to avoid burnout, and choosing brand categories that feel aligned. Meg shares candid student wins, from parents earning 5k in their first month to older creators landing paid videos without public profiles. She also reveals the edge behind her Anti‑Influencer Method: a living master list of brands, agencies, and faceless opportunities that bridges learning to paid work. If you’ve been stuck in the myth that only influence equals income, this episode hands you a blueprint that turns one content skill into multiple revenue streams.

Needing clarity in your rebellious midlife journey?! Book a one-and-done 90 minute coaching session and start building your momentum now...

Ready to make marketing feel simple, fast, and surprisingly fun?

This week I sit down with Hannah Isted—creator of The Best 90 Days Ever and author of the book—to unpack how 10-minute tasks, underthinking, and bold experiments can unlock momentum for small business owners. Instead of chasing perfection or waiting for motivation, Hannah shows how to set a timer, ship your work, and let consistency compound.

We dig into her “big fish energy” theme, a yearly compass that nudges her to act like the braver version of herself: pitching talks, improving public speaking, and even launching a local meet-up that went viral. Hannah shares why most of us resist letting tasks be easy, how to build lightweight systems that pay off all year, and the exact ways she reuses content without anyone noticing. From Trello boards for seasonal campaigns to saved email folders and photo libraries, she proves that repeatable processes beat starting from scratch.

You’ll learn how to restart your content habit by repurposing last year’s winners, how to scroll with curiosity to reverse-engineer hooks, and why posting more often helps you gather the data you need to actually improve. We also explore healthy boundaries for personal sharing—picking a small set of topics that reveal your personality without crossing lines—so your audience has something real to engage with. The takeaway is clear: momentum is built from tiny, focused actions, identity grows through doing, and opportunities multiply when seized!

If you’re tired of overthinking and want practical steps you can use today, this conversation will get you moving. Subscribe for more rebel-friendly strategies, share this episode with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review to tell us the first 10-minute task you’ll try!
