The short answer is ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY YES! And in this episode, we explore why when the world feels increasingly dark, heavy, overwhelming and sad, our collective coaching work really really matters - not in spite of the heaviness, but because of it. Youāll hear why our work is part of building the new world thatās trying to come through. Plus I have five non-typical approaches for supporting yourself. And if youād like to feel replenished and supported as you do this work, come join us...
Two years ago I couldn't put my coat on without help (frozen shoulder). Yesterday I completed my 100th strength training workout this year. I KNOW! The last six months of getting stronger have had this huge ripple effect on how I am approaching the rebuild of my coaching practice. These five business lessons have come straight from the weight room: committing (when you don't quite trust the process), where the biggest gains have actually come from, what happens when you keep showing up, leani...
What happens when we ask the spirit world for guidance on the season ahead for coaches? In this conversation, my lovely pal Sarah Vermunt - a fellow coach and psychic - shares a collective reading for us! Sarah's guides help us to explore the energetic āweather forecastā for the coming months. Think of this as soulful guidance you can ground into your coaching practice: part mystical, part practical, all designed to help you feel resourced and ready for whatās next. Resources for you: B...
In this episode, I'm sharing five things to consider when it comes to the rise of artificial intelligence. Including what it actually is, what it can never do and why we should stop doing some things and lean heavily into others! If you want support to build a lush, booked-out 1:1 practice, thatās exactly what Ripen is for (apply here). And if you want a gentle nudge out of self-doubt, and to play with AI - meet Betty the BeliefBot - a customer GPT that helps coaches get unstuck w...
This week, Iām diving into the Core Four - the four simple, powerful foundations every coach needs to build a thriving practice. Iāll share how Iām applying them in my own business (from rewriting the Ripen sales page for the eleventy-seventh time, to jumping back on Instagram with my āhow I got hereā story), and why clarity on your core client, offer, nurture strategy, and sharing platforms makes everything easier. š Links: Procrastinating?

Welcome to Courage and Spice for Coaches! In this episode, I share the changes I'm making to focus my work (and the podcast) on holistic support for coaches, what Iām working on right now, and how Iām essentially āstarting againā with 13 years of experience behind me. If youāre fresh out of coach training, stuck in procrastination, or feeling disheartened because clients arenāt signing yet ā this episode is for you. Iāll give you one simple, doable takeaway to get moving, an...
Content note: This episode includes discussions around intentional weight loss and diet culture, and therefore contains swearing. This episode is part of a podcast series called The Body Stories. Iām joined by my beloved friend and fellow coach, Ali Shapiro. Over the next year, Ali and I will have an occasional and ongoing conversation about the nuanced relationship with our bodies. These are tender conversations, and at times, I will be in the coaching client seat. Our hope is that listening...
Sarah Vermunt is a longtime pal, career coach and the founder of Careergasm. She's written books about careers and columns for Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, Fortune, and Fast Company. Sheās had a regular coaching spot on the tele in Canada. Three years ago, out of the blue, Sarah started having psychic clairvoyant visions. She did not see this coming. Since then, life-long City-dweller Sarah has moved to a small town with a vibrant community of witches (it sounds a lot like Stars Hollow). She i...

Tamu Thomas is a transformational somatic leadership coach, the eldest daughter of West African immigrants, a mother, a speaker, and now a published author! Tamuās first book, Women Who Work Too Much, helps overachieving, overfunctioning women set boundaries, find joy, and flourish. This conversation was a balm, and I suspect fellow Gen X women in particular, will feel seen and understood. We are the generation that grew up being told we could have it all. Now, we find ourselves in ...
Have you ever daydreamed about a different potential future for yourself? Perhaps your imagination offers you an entirely different job, country, or relationship? It might be that your life looks the same on the inside but feels entirely different to you. This might be a creative way to spend time on a drive or in a queue, and it could also point you towards an entirely new direction. In this episode of Courage and Spice, we are exploring this sometimes magical connection with Your Future Se...
If you love the idea of communal learning and connection, if you are looking for like-minded souls, if you have incomplete online courses on your laptop: listen in! Iām excited for you to get to know Sally Burns. We recorded this chat before āThe US Situationā - I guess we need to start calling it what it is - The Coup by tech billionaires. To know that Sally is thoughtfully building an alternative to everything they stand for, fills me hope. Sally is an e-learning expert and ecological t...
Happy (lunar) New Year! Itās the first new moon of the year, which also marks the beginning of the Chinese and Tibetan year of the wood snake (nb: I just had a little look at this, and the wood snake symbolises the embodied wisdom of the Divine Feminine who knows her worth, lives close to the Earth and is at ease in moving within her body, which is always changing, shedding old skins for new growth. The wood snake is all about moving forward intuitively, quietly, intelligently and intentiona...
How do you feel about what you wear? Shopping for clothes in our fast-fashion world, deciding what you like (colours, fabrics, makers), trying things on, and deciding what suits can all feel a bit like a minefield. It can be incredibly activating for our self-doubt. Lizzie Parsons runs The Distinctive Style Atelier and she is all about finding joy, confidence, and authenticity in your personal style - she has a really fun, human Instagram account that I recommend. At the time of our conver...
Iāve spent a lot of this year thinking about the Coaching industry. It is undoubtedly going through a somewhat sticky phase of maturing - for some of us, this is a long-time-coming-reckoning. The increasing focus on ethics and having a scope of practice, being trauma-informed, calling out the training organisations that replicate unhealthy practices is all for the good - particularly when it comes to outcomes for our beloved clients. And if you are a coach, this shift in the industry can feel...
IMHO, the best kind of humans can access deep joy and light because they have sat in their darkness and shadows. Olivia is exactly that! We talk about the path from anger, pain, shame and addiction to living from a quiet mind and safe body. Olivia shares how breathwork blew her heart open and invited her to follow what she calls āthe yellow brick road home to myselfā. Breathwork is such a mysterious and deceptively simple practice. Olivia describes how peaceful, soft, and undefen...
In my former life, I was in the business of corporate goals - we called these projects - and I was responsible for some of the biggest, hairiest, riskiest projects in the UK (that life is almost unfathomable to me now). #nowonderIdrank We often had a team of physics grads who managed an enormous Gannt chart - the project plan. We talked about The Plan endlessly. It was forever being updated, changed, added to, and reported on. We worshipped that thing. I suspect that in the face of so many m...
Iām so excited for you all to meet my newest friend: Nici Wickes. Cookbook author, beloved TV star, restaurant reviewer and food editor for various publications, Nici is a national treasure here in Aotearoa. We discuss the often undervalued experience of living alone. Nici speaks candidly about finding joy and fulfilment inside of a full midlife, living solo, and what she has learned about herself. Our conversation moves through Niciās experiences during New Zealand's lockdowns when she kept ...

I completely get this concept; I have a disease that essentially shuts down my digestive system. Since this, obviously, causes weight loss to the extreme that seems to invalidate my being "ill". I can be laying in a hospital bed with ivs in, feeling so very sick and frightened, but I "look so good" so it can't be bad. But it absolutely is bad.
Just started listening to you and love your interviews and the topics you present in your podcast! Love it!!! Keep up the great work!!
