If you're feeling stuck or trapped by the daily grind, book a 1:1 coaching session with me and let's get you the momentum you're looking for

Endings don’t need noise to matter. They need honesty, time, and the courage to pause when the calendar demands motion. I'm sharing a rare behind‑the‑scenes moment: why the podcast is heading toward its final chapters, and how I'm letting the ending arrive on its own schedule rather than forcing a finish for the sake of a date.

Together we unpack the difference between finishing and ending well, and how cultural pressure—deadlines, year‑end goals, “new year, new you”—can push us to rush what deserves care. You’ll hear personal stories of exits done too fast, the hollowness that follows, and the subtle relief of stepping back to notice what’s truly complete. We explore the quiet mechanics of clarity: waiting longer than is comfortable, following energy instead of a plan, and allowing direction to surface in small, steady signals. Think seasonally, not just strategically; winter is for rest and nature works in cycles.

I also share two practical anchors. First, the podcast will rest over the holidays so the final episodes can land with integrity, not obligation. Second, for anyone stuck between fatigue and possibility, the Rebel Reset offers a focused 90‑minute session to cut through fog and choose a next step that actually feels like you.

If this speaks to you, follow along or share with a friend who needs permission to rest, thoughtful endings and brave new beginnings...

By the way, Here's that full article from Kim @ Clementine

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!

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.

Ready to design a business that gives you a life? Press play, then tell me the one hour you’ll reclaim this week. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to go slower, and leave a quick review so more rebels can find us.

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.

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!

What happens when you stop chasing everyone and start choosing the few who truly get you? We sit down with Storm Mackay, founder of Soba Private Label, to unpack their unglossy reality of building a distinctive brand and a life designed on purpose. No hustle theatre, no yacht mythology—just the messy, honest path from wrong offers and empty pipelines to a bold identity, a ramen‑slurping mascot, and clients who pay for real thinking.

Storm shares why “splitting the room” is the most underrated growth strategy in saturated markets, and how clear positioning lives in the buyer’s mind long before a sales call. We dig into the craft of memorable assets, irreverent copy that earns attention, and the patience it takes for a message to wear in. You’ll hear why Soba chose to “win a city” instead of a country and what it looks like to do your own marketing in public so prospects trust you faster.

Beyond tactics, we go deep on identity, values, and redefining ambition. Storm’s version of success isn’t headcount—it’s five great clients, time for their garden, and work that feels aligned. We talk about handling rejection without shrinking your signal, drawing firm lines around client fit, and the radical clarity that comes from stepping away from social media comparison. If you’ve felt stuck between safe and alive, this conversation offers a map: choose your 5 percent, hold the line, and let the rest fall away.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with one brave friend, and leave a quick review—what’s one expectation you’ll break this week?

What if aliveness was the metric you designed your life and business around? We dive straight into that question this week and unpack why aliveness fades quietly whilst the “sensible voice” keeps you safe and stuck at the same time. You’ll learn a simple tradeoff test—by saying yes to this, what am I saying no to?—that exposes the hidden cost of choices that drain you. We explore elevating the ordinary in work and life, shifting your business goals from chasing perfection to designing for energy, and building a practice of tiny, rebellious experiments that restore momentum. You can’t think your way into aliveness; you act your way into it with small, honest moves that compound.

If you’ve been feeling flat, busy, or strangely disconnected from the life you built, this conversation offers both a reframe and a plan. I share how to step into the version of you who stops asking for permission, listens to desire without apology, and makes one bold move that your future self will thank you for.

And if you're ready for focused support? I am opening up 3 spaces for my Rebel Reset Sessions - a 90-minute deep dive with a simple action plan and seven days of Voxer (voice message) support. Claim you spot now by clicking this link or if you want to talk it through, book a free call with me here

What if perimenopause isn’t a cliff but a doorway you get to walk through on your terms? I sat down with Menopause Mentor and Motivational Speaker Jo Fiddy to flip the script on midlife, swap fear for agency, and talk through the science that makes change feel less mysterious and more navigable.

Jo shares her story of stress-induced menopause in her 30s, the brain–ovary connection, and the moment she chose compassion over punishment. We dig into how language shapes the nervous system, why “it’s coming for me” spikes cortisol, and how a simple reframing—this is an invitation—creates space to support your body. You’ll learn what EFT and Rapid Tapping actually do in the brain, how they can ease anxiety fast, and why neuroplasticity matters when your hormones are fluctuating. We also explore practical pillars: boundaries that protect energy, protein-forward meals, resistance training for bones and muscle, and the underrated power of a daily walk for mood and cognition.

We move myth-busting into action by using research as preparation, not prophecy. Think symptom tracking and bringing a clear log to your GP. We talk grief for past selves, rituals that help you pivot, and the creative edge many women find as the brain refocuses from reproductive to productive priorities. Whether you’re already navigating hot flushes or you’re simply curious about the years ahead, this conversation delivers grounded tools, steady reassurance, and a rebellious reminder to own your transition...

What if the inner-voice you were taught to distrust was actually the key to your freedom? In this episode, I sit down with Liané once again to unpack life inside a high-control religious group—where conformity wore the mask of care, questions were dangerous, and “normal” meant chaperoned dates, curfews, and the quiet policing of thought. She traces the moment one gentle question cracked her certainty, the midnight search that dismantled decades of belief, and the hardest decision she ever faced: return and pretend to keep her family, or step into the unknown and choose herself?

Across this conversation, we examine how doctrines like “don’t trust your heart” fracture identity and how the promise of living forever convinces people to defer education, goals, and joy. Liané shares how, once the shell fell away, her own ethics and preferences emerged intact—as if they’d been waiting for air. We talk about the small rebellions that kept her spirit alive and the pain of being shunned. The through line is practical and hopeful: courage compounds, and environment is leverage. Build a circle that mirrors your becoming and watch your healing accelerate.

You’ll walk away with grounded tools for any life pivot: ask questions, take micro-acts of autonomy, and design an environment that supports your next chapter. This isn’t just a story about leaving a cult; it’s a map for anyone at a crossroads, wondering if that quiet inner nudge deserves a chance. If the fear is loud but the knowing is clear, start small and move forward. Your life expands in proportion to the risks you take on your own behalf...
