This week has been an emotional one and it’s taken me inward in ways I didn’t expect. I watched Limitless with Chris Hemsworth and it really landed. The focus on supercharging the brain through physical fitness and spiritual wakefulness made me think deeply about learning itself, and pushing personal boundaries, and endurance. The effects on the brain are enormous. It reminded me that growth isn’t accidental. It’s intentional. I recorded three podcast episodes this week and each one awoke something in me. In my conversation with Kerry, we talked about weight and how taking care of ourselves directly impacts how we show up in life and business. That conversation triggered a real emotional awakening for me. A genuine puzzle piece falling into place. My conversation with Rebecca centred around reinvention and change, and my divorce came up. It was emotional and raw, but necessary. I also reached out to my brother, Les, which helped me finally let go of a relationship that had been challenging and energy depleting. As we evolve, some relationships simply can’t come with us, and that realisation was a shake up. I won’t pretend this week was easy. I only trained twice in #My5amClub routine, I ate without care, switched my mindset off, and physically I can feel it. This week reminded me that emotional strain always shows up in the body. And yet, alongside all of that, there’s been real momentum. We had a powerful Mastermind gathering hosted by Lisa Johnson, met outstanding women, and I found my hybrid publisher for my book - no Amazon self publishing this time. I’ve also found the person who will be writing the foreword, a true powerhouse, and I’m beyond thrilled. On top of that, a course I've written for graduate surveyors has been CPD accredited, which I’m incredibly proud of. Despite the emotional roller coaster, I've learned a lot about myself, I've cleared some sh*t and I've achieved. So I’m looking forward to 2026 with excitement. Growth isn’t always neat, but it’s always revealing.

The Success Coach Journal When momentum starts to build Limitless by Dee Airey This week’s Success Coach Journal is a reflective look back at a week where I could feel momentum building. Not in a frantic way, but in a steady, purposeful way that reminded me something meaningful is unfolding. One of the biggest lessons for me this week has been around money and intention. I’ve realised that just because I have money doesn’t mean I need to spend it freely or use it as a quick fix. Wealth, for me, is about discernment. About knowing when spending is genuinely helpful and when it’s simply avoiding discomfort. A money mindset issue right there. My routines have been a real anchor this week. Early mornings, training hard, time in meditation and gratitude, studying the Bible, and daily self reflection have helped me stay clear and centred while everything around me continues to expand. I also share how much joy I get from spending time with our racehorses. It’s my escape from work and responsibility, and it’s where some really exciting conversations have started. This week, those conversations with Fionn McSharry led to exploring the idea of creating a female horse racing syndicate and/or a women in horse racing network, which aligns beautifully with my plans to move forward with a Women in Business Network franchise in York. A huge milestone for me this week is that my book is finished. Writing it, especially weaving in my story from way back when, has been deeply healing. In this episode I share a short extract that speaks to identity, self trust, and choosing who you are rather than chasing what you think you should have. Friendship has also been a strong theme. I travelled down south to spend time with my lifelong friends, navigating trains and tubes despite my dislike of public transport, because they are worth it. These friendships ground me, even though we are all different. They are my family. From a business perspective, there’s been solid progress. I’ve had interviews booked, leadership coaching proposals out, and I’ve welcomed a new one to one coaching client from the US. l can feel a balancing excitement with very real nerves. I close this episode with a reminder that momentum doesn’t come from waiting until everything feels comfortable. It comes from consistent action, self trust, and backing yourself even when you’re unsure. New episodes of The Success Coach Journal are released every Saturday as part of the Limitless by Dee Airey podcast.
This week I found myself pushed out of my usual rhythm and into places that made me wobble. From Tunbridge Wells losing its water supply to two parties in a single day, I had more moments of discomfort than I usually sign up for. Networking has never been my thing but I leaned in anyway. I walked into events alone. I introduced myself even when my heart was in my mouth. I met incredible women I wouldn’t have met otherwise. And in the evening I found myself being recognised by people who have followed me online for ages. A few even asked for photos which still feels surreal to me. The week didn’t stop there. I had a meeting about buying a WIBN franchise in York which would pull me into a whole new world of leadership and connection. And on Wednesday night I made a decision that surprised even me. I am headed to Miami in 2026 for a high ticket mastermind and I’ve been invited to deliver a workshop there. Me. Coaching. In Miami. None of these opportunities would have appeared if I hadn’t been willing to stretch myself. I ended the week in the north where I always feel calmer and more creative. Reflecting on everything, the theme was obvious. Comfort zones are a killer. Every meaningful moment came from choosing discomfort over familiarity. In this episode I share the stories from my week, how they pushed me and the insight I want you to take into your own life. You do not need to feel confident before you act. Confidence follows action. One small step outside your comfort zone can shift everything. In this episode you’ll hear: • What happened when I pushed myself into rooms I normally avoid • The surprising conversations that came from being visible offline • Why buying a WIBN franchise might be my next big stretch • How a Miami workshop invitation landed in my lap • The real truth about comfort zones and growth • A reflection to carry into your week A question for you: Where have you been staying comfortable for too long, and what might shift if you take one small step outside that familiar place? New Chapter every Saturday morning.
You were this driven woman in what seems to be a previous life. This is for the women over 40 who’ve ever woken up, looked in the mirror and thought, “Who the hell am I?” Let’s talk about it. Because once upon a time, you knew exactly who you were. You were in a great job in your twenties, maybe even thirties. You were driven, ambitious, living life on your terms.

Everyone talks about clarity - but few truly understand what it is. In this episode, Dee dives into the real meaning of clarity and why it’s far deeper than vision boards or business plans. She shares how true clarity isn’t about knowing all the answers - it’s about knowing yourself. Dee explains why so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, or directionless even when they’re doing “all the right things,” and how finding clarity acts as a compass that guides every decision, goal, and next step. If you’ve ever felt lost, confused, or like you’re doing too much without moving forward, this episode will help you pause, reflect, and reconnect to what truly matters. Where in your life do you feel unclear right now? Instead of rushing to fix it, ask yourself: “What am I pretending not to know?” You already have the answer — clarity just helps you see it.

In this deeply personal episode, I share the real story behind my lifelong confidence struggles - and how an experience at just eight years old shaped how I saw myself for decades. From hiding behind weight and self-doubt to reclaiming my authenticity and freedom, I open up about what it truly takes to rebuild confidence from the inside out. You’ll discover how to identify the single thread that might be holding you back, and why clarity is the first step to unlocking lasting self-belief. If you’ve ever questioned your worth, doubted your abilities, or hidden parts of yourself to feel safe, this episode will speak directly to your heart. What’s your thread? What’s the one area where you’d love to feel more confident right now? It may feel like a list of things, but there’s usually one truth to face that unravels everything else.

After a short pause, I’m back - with even more purpose. In this short solo episode, I share why I took time out, what I’ve been reflecting on, and what’s next for this podcast and the Limitless Woman movement. From mentoring in Zambia to speaking in UK schools, I’ve been reconnecting with why I do this work, and why I want you to win in business, in life, and with money. Whether you ever work with me or not, my goal is the same: To give you value. To help you grow. To remind you that you are capable of more. Yes, I talk about clarity and confidence. But underneath it all, this is really about success on your terms, and the money mindset needed to achieve it. Because when women like us earn more, we can give more. 🔥 In this episode: Why I took time away from the mic The truth about self-funding service work in Zambia What kids really need from us (and what we’re getting wrong) My unapologetic view on women and money What’s next for the podcast and YOU as a Limitless Woman 🎧 Listen if you’re ready to: Set bold, unapologetic goals Rewrite your money story Serve more people and live a life of real fulfilment Be part of something bigger 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

Let's talk about online beauty filters. Why are we flooded with filtered images. Why are we using them? Are we not good enough to show up as we are? Whether you believe it or not, we are role models. As soon as we put ourselves out there as a thought leader or authority on anything - we've signed up for the role. I would love to hear your views on beauty filters.

So many women believe confidence fades with age - but I’m here to tell you the opposite is true. Confidence isn’t about youth; it’s about experience, resilience, and knowing exactly who you are. What I want for you by the end of this episode, is to know why 40+ is the most powerful stage of life and how to embrace confidence fully. Those words “life begins at 40” didn’t come out of nowhere. It's time to build unshakable confidence at any age: 1. Own Your Story 2. Stop Waiting for Permission 3. Learn to Say Yes Before You Feel Ready 4. Invest in Yourself (Mentally, Physically, and Emotionally) 5. Surround Yourself with Women Who Lift You Up ________________ 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

In this powerful episode of The Limitless Woman Podcast, I’m diving deep into one of the most common and crushing challenges faced by women over 40: self-doubt. Whether you’re starting something new or simply trying to show up more confidently in your life and business, that inner voice that says, “I’m not good enough,” can be paralysing. But it doesn’t have to be your reality. I'm going to talk you through what self-doubt really is, why it shows up (especially for women in midlife), and how to begin building self-trust that’s rooted in truth, not perfection. You’ll learn practical, real-world steps to start rebuilding your confidence - without needing to fake it, shrink yourself, or wait until you “feel ready.” If you’ve been holding back in any area of your life, this episode is your reminder that you are more capable than you think—and the only permission you need is your own. ________________ 🎤 Want to be a guest on the show?

There's no position higher than owning your own company, no matter how small. There’s nothing better than creating the workplace yourself. As I drove through South London on my way into central London (at a traffic induced snails pace), all I could see to my left and my right, were small and medium sized shops/enterprises run and owned by people of colour. Workplaces created by people of colour. Why isn't anyone talking about this? Why aren't we acknowledging this? Why are we busy looking for where people of colour don’t exist in the UK, and not noticing just how much is being created and how m much is being achieved by people of colour. Listen to this short episode, there's more greatness than is talked about or appreciated. Until next time! Dee ____________________________ I'd love to hear from you.

Which world are we caught up in? Yes. It’s the X-Factor. We look. We judge. We label. And then we look no further. We when do this, things get complicated.

I’m a little gutted because, our Diane Abbott is in a powerful position and for people who have shallow minds, she represents black women and black people. That poor show, that long running comedy series of her less than average performance does nothing for me as a black women. If we want to achieve diversity in this country, in the workplace, the only way to do it is to put the right person in the right position. There are plenty of highly skilled and intelligent black women out there who’d do an amazing job. Listen to the episode, I'd love to hear what you think. Until next time!

Have you ever wondered just how many people with disability there are within the construction industry? People with disability contribute to the diversity within any organisation.

For MDs Chief Execs and Managing Partners in the construction industry Achieving EDI in the 21st century in the UK doesn’t have to be an uphill battle. It’s easier than you think. First of all it’s important to understand what EDI actually is and how it fits with the Equality Act. Many organisations feel pressurised into achieving EDI goals that they go at it blindly, thinking “ok, we need more women and we need more people of colour”. Whilst this might be true, let’s not forget what the Equality Act requires. It requires that we remove discrimination from 9 protected characteristics.

Today (at the time of recording) is International Women’s Day. Women who are making a difference. I salute you. Woman who are living on their own terms. I salute you. Women. I salute you! And more to the point. People, I salute you! Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m fired up when it comes issues around equality, and I mean real equality. I get frustrated with positive discrimination. Women have been making a contribution to the world for decades, centuries. And why shouldn't we..... We're people right? In this episode I want to talk about the positive discrimination that's plaguing the UK today in the name of equality. I want to address the fact that women are not actually the underdog, and are quite capable of getting from A to B themselves. I want to help discourage organisations from lowering the politically correct bar so that us women can get on board. I know this will ruffle some feathers, but if we want change, we have to effect change....the right way! Until next time. Dee
