The Women Doing Their Thing Podcast

Good morning, my loves. I’m back behind the mic, eating chocolate spread on sourdough and talking to you from the cozy chaos of my little South London studio—cats included.This is a softer, slower episode. A catch-up. A moment of reflection. A reminder that life isn’t always linear, especially when you’re self-employed, living between countries, navigating transitions, and making space (literally) for your evolving life.In this episode, I share:Why I’ve been quiet on the pod lately and what life’s been full of behind the scenesThe wild joy and challenge of living in a small space with two catsThe deep transitions of clearing out my mum’s house and the echoes of grief and gratitude it bringsWhy I chose to be self-employed—and what beliefs I’ve had to dismantle to stay the courseSome of the real challenges of being a multi-passionate practitioner (hello imposter syndrome, old stories about not being qualified enough, and “not enough community” narratives)A reminder that becoming self-employed is also becoming yourself. It’s personal development disguised as a career choice.And why slow steps, community care, and somatic wisdom are key to long-term growthYou'll also hear about my background—from leaving school at 14, to my many trainings and qualifications, to now working towards bringing post-trauma growth work to young women in London. It’s all part of the journey.Whether you’re walking through your own in-between season or figuring out how to bring your gifts to the world, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not alone.Links & Mentions:Maya’s Bakehouse (if you’re in South London—go get that cinnamon + cardamom bun!)Catification by Jackson GalaxyOrganic Intelligence (post-trauma growth training)Business By Design with James WedmoreCome say hi:Instagram → freddyjohnston_chiWebsite → fjchi.orgIf this episode lands for you, I’d love if you’d leave a review or share it with a friend doing their thing too.

Guess what? This week, Freddy is checking in from her brand-new pad in South London! 🎉 If you’ve been following along, you’ll know she made the big move to London last October, and her biggest goal over the past few months has been saving up to rent her very own place. Well… drumroll please… she did it! Mission accomplished! 🏡✨It’s cute, it’s cozy, it’s basically a glorified shoebox—but it’s hers, and it’s got everything she needs. Muy adore! 😍Of course, with this exciting new chapter comes a few changes. London rent isn’t exactly budget-friendly, so the spending plan has had a little shake-up. But let’s be real—going without? Not the vibe. We’re not here to squeeze into someone else’s idea of what’s affordable. Instead, in true Freddy fashion, she’s getting curious about something way more empowering:How do we take charge of our own financial freedom? How do we create our own economies and design a life where comfort isn’t a luxury—it’s the standard?Let’s dive in! 🚀💸Listen in for the responses to these questions;💖 Can a therapist actually get rich and how?💖 Can therapists make finance-level money?And finally...💖 Learn to think how a businessperson thinks...Enjoy! Catch you next time!

It's been a bumpy couple of weeks over here at Freddy HQ, and the fruits of these bumpy weeks make up the podcast today.We'll be chatting about;1. Adenomyosis, what it is and how to manage symptoms.2. How can we work differently so our symptoms don't get in the way of us sharing our gifts with the world.3. How Organic Intelligence was the answer my system needed to integrate old traumas and get on the path to healing.4. How an off the cuff prayer at a desperate time has guided my every move for the last 10 years.The Women Doing Their Thing Podcast is a podcast devoted to celebrating women doing their thing, in their own unique ways.

In this episode you'll hear;How OI helped me not only heal from Chronic Fatigue The psychology behind the negativity bias, how it keeps us stuck and what to do about it.

But can we all just admit for a second that talking to yourself in your room into a microphone imagining that one day what you're saying will reach folks ears is a little bit weird!I've never been one to take things personally, and when my friend said this to me I have to say that I 100% agreed. Listen in to today's podcast for a more authentic me and hopefully you'll find yourself nearer to yourself too.
