The BigTalk Podcast

Have you ever noticed how your presence can make people both admire and resent you at the same time? One moment they’re drawn to your composure, your depth, your light - and the next, they’re calling you intimidating, too intense, or “a bit much.” Perhaps this has been the story of your entire life. In this episode, I unpack what’s really happening when your presence activates projection in your friends, clients, colleagues, even family. We’ll explore six common archetypes that powerful women unconsciously embody (the Refined Outsider, the Initiatrix, the Independent Light, and more) and why these energies stir admiration and shadow in equal measure. You’ll learn how to read the feedback of the field without shrinking, apologising, or over-explaining yourself and instead, how to stay rooted in your own energetic sovereignty as a woman of depth. Because when you understand projection, you stop taking people’s reactions personally and start reading them as data from the collective unconscious. If you’re ready to turn your depth into your profession, this is the work we do inside The Psychodynamic Coach Academy - our internationally accredited certification for coaches who want to work at soul-level depth. - Early Bird savings are ending soon. - Just 2 spots left!

Many of the people who find their way into coaching have walked through something profound. They’ve faced trauma, loss, upheaval, or deep initiations that cracked them open. And instead of running from those experiences, they let them carve depth. That lived experience is gold. It gives you the capacity to hold space like few others can. But here’s the catch: lived wisdom on its own doesn’t always translate into professional mastery. 👉 How do you take what you’ve walked through and shape it into a framework that clients can safely trust? 👉 How do you stand out in an industry where anyone can call themselves a coach? 👉 How do you move from instinctual “helping” to a skillful practice backed by credibility and accreditation? In this episode, I’ll share: - Why lived experience is the raw material of depth coaching, but not the full container. - The hidden dangers of relying on life story alone when guiding others. - How to forge your wisdom into a professional skillset that integrates shadow, psyche, and transformation. - Why credibility and accreditation matter now more than ever in the coaching industry. - The pathway that turns depth-seekers into certified psychodynamic life coaches. If you’ve ever felt the call to take your lived story and turn it into something bigger - something that gives you both the depth and the legitimacy to lead others - this episode is for you. ✨ Next step: Enrollment is now open for the October 2025 cohort of the Psychodynamic Coach Academy.

We’re living in chaotic times - violence in the headlines, polarity on social media, nervous systems stretched to the limit. But the truth is, outer chaos often mirrors what we’ve avoided inside. In this episode, we explore: - Why collective shadow is showing up through splitting, polarity, and othering - How “chaos” can actually be an initiation point, not sabotage - Why surface-level fixes don’t work when the unconscious is in play - Practical ways to cultivate inner ground and hold the tension of opposites - How depth coaching prepares you to navigate (and guide others through) this moment in history If you’ve felt exhausted by conflict, or you’ve noticed old patterns resurfacing just when you’re ready to expand, this conversation will remind you: resistance is not failure. It’s an invitation to integrate, deepen, and reconnect to the Self. ✨ Enrollment for the October 2025 cohort of the Psychodynamic Coach Academy is now open.

You’ve done the mindset work. You’ve journaled your affirmations. You’ve hired the coach, written the post, hit publish… So why does visibility in your business still feel like a full-body shutdown? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason so many brilliant, intuitive, soul-led women still feel resistance around being seen - especially the super survivors, cycle breakers, and sensitives amongst us. (Spoiler: it’s not your content. It’s your shadow). In this episode we explore: ✨ The difference between “visibility mindset” and shadow visibility work ✨ Why your brilliance and boldness were likely buried in your early years ✨ The concept of your Shadow Edge - and how reclaiming it changes everything ✨ Why being visible hits harder for cycle breakers and super survivors This conversation is a reclamation for the parts of you that are still hiding behind polish and perfection. The parts that were taught to perform, shrink, or play nice. If you’ve ever felt like you’re ready to step into more impact - but still find yourself second-guessing, over-editing, or shapeshifting your voice… This episode is for you. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 103 of the #BigTalk podcast. In this episode, we tackle one of the most common struggles coaches face: self-doubt. Whether you're new to coaching or looking to level up your business, it’s natural to feel insecure or uncertain about your path. If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, feared judgment, or worried you’re not good enough to lead, you’re not alone. But here's the truth: good intentions, a willingness to help others, and positive thinking alone won’t lead to coaching mastery. In today’s episode, we dive deep into the root cause of self-doubt and how it holds many coaches back from stepping into their true potential. You’ll learn how self-doubt shows up in your coaching practice - whether it’s procrastination, fear of visibility, or feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of leading others. We’ll also talk about how shadow work and psychodynamic practices can help you break through these barriers, build unshakeable confidence, and move into authentic coaching leadership. Whether you’re a new or aspiring coach, or a coach who’s ready to go deeper into their craft this episode is for you if you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and step into the coach you’re truly meant to be. Tune in and discover the high-level solution that will help you shift from self-doubt to coaching mastery. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 102 of the #BigTalk podcast. In this episode, we dive into the Call to Adventure, the first step of the Hero’s Journey. This universal story pattern, rooted in ancient myths and psychology, mirrors the moment in our lives when we’re invited to step out of the familiar and into the unknown - just as 2025 is doing for so many of us. But at this crossroads, many of us face an inner tug of war: fear urges us to stay safe, while curiosity tempts us to explore the possibilities of change. Using powerful storytelling and relatable examples, we explore how the Call to Adventure manifests in real life - whether through a personal crisis, a sense of restlessness, or a sudden opportunity. You’ll learn why fear often arises in these moments, how curiosity can act as a quiet guide, and how to tip the scales toward growth. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a new lens to see the challenges in your life not as obstacles but as invitations to transformation. Together, we’ll reflect on the small steps you can take to embrace your inner hero and start answering your own Call to Adventure. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 98 of the #BigTalk podcast. In this episode, we dive deep into the mysterious and often misunderstood forces that shape our love lives: the shadow, the golden shadow, and projection. Join me as we explore how these unconscious aspects of ourselves influence the way we experience love and intimacy, often creating the intense, spiritual feelings we associate with falling in love. You'll discover: - How the shadow, as defined by Carl Jung, manifests in romantic relationships and why it holds the key to understanding your deepest desires and fears. - The role of projection in love - how we unconsciously project our own repressed qualities onto our partners, leading to both intense attraction and inevitable disillusionment. - Practical tips for recognising and integrating these unconscious forces to foster healthier, more authentic connections with your partner. Whether you're navigating the complexities of a current relationship or seeking to understand past dynamics, this episode offers valuable insights into the spiritual journey of love - a journey that begins with looking within. * Note: there is some adult language in this episode so wear earphones if you have sensitive ears around* Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 95 of the #BigTalk podcast ........... In this episode of the podcast, "Anger Alchemy," I explore the transformative power of anger through the lens of shadow work. Together we'll delve into how repressed anger manifests in daily life - from the unexpected triggers and external 'flare-ups', to simmering resentment, and the link to physical symptoms. As always, I share some of the practical tools for integration, emphasizing how shadow work enables constructive expression and fosters growth. By embracing and understanding our anger, we are better able to integrate it into our lives and work with its wisdom so it no longer hijacks our emotional state.

*** Join me in this special audiocast of one of my most popular live webinars!*** In this episode, I'm calling forward all coaches, wellness pros, and visionaries ready to make waves in their online business. Right now, the world is calling for a new generation of business leaders (hint: that's you)! Here's why: People across the globe are waking up. If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that our client's problems are bigger and more magnified than ever before. So as coaches and practitioners, the demand for our transformational services is real! But here's the hard truth... So many gifted and good-hearted coaches in this industry go unseen because they've been taught to rely on overwhelming and outdated marketing tactics such as: :: Trying to keep up with the latest jazzy social media trends :: 'Doing all of the things' like posting a million times a day! :: Chasing down prospects with pushy DM-strategies :: ... or they cross their fingers and hope for word of mouth to spread.  None of these tactics are inherently wrong or bad. ... but I'm a big believer in supporting my clients to lean into sustainable, nourishing growth strategies that are supportive of their business goals and frankly, the kind of life they want to live. I'll be sharing the 5 key insights that I've learned after supporting hundreds of clients to create aligned and thriving online businesses - and how you can do the same. If you're ready to get noticed, get visible, and elevate your brand, I invite you to join me in this special audiocast of one of my most popular live webinars! (Note: This training was delivered Live, so you will hear me referring to questions, and slides throughout) Thanks so much for stopping by and until next time... much love.

Welcome to Episode 91 of the #BigTalk podcast. So many coaches, healers, and experts who have been on a personal and spiritual development journey for some time, are now being called to step up in a *radically different* way - both personally, and in their business. ... and it's no surprise. If the last few years have taught us anything, it's that the collective is going through an enormous transformation, and our client's problems are bigger and more magnified than ever before. The result? The next generation of leaders (that's you!) are being pushed to take centre stage. Have you felt the call to expand, or possibly even pivot your message, offerings, and audience in line with this elevated calling? If so, this episode is for you. I'm also hosting a D£ath-Rebirth Business Workshop on the 18th of January.
