Late Diagnosed ADHD, Burnout, Masking and Rebuilding Confidence with Ria Taher

From Shy Child to Senior Producer: How to Find Your Voice and Own It with Sarah Collins

What does it really take to show up and be heard when you spent most of your life keeping quiet? In this episode I'm joined by Sarah Collins, media trainer, communication coach and former senior producer at ITV and ITN, where she spent over 20 years working on some of the UK's biggest daytime television shows including Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women. Sarah's story is one that will resonate deeply. She grew up shy, kept her head down at school, and walked into one of the loudest industries in the country with no real toolkit for using her voice. It wasn't until a small but significant moment in a busy newsroom, when an editor told her he already knew who she was, that something shifted. Now she helps female founders and organisations get media ready, blending her insider television expertise with ICF accredited coaching to help people show up in podcast interviews, TV appearances and beyond with clarity, confidence and conviction. We talk about: * Why not knowing what to say is the real confidence blocker, not nerves * The three foundations Sarah uses with every client: mission, key messages and story * How she watched expert after expert crumble under studio pressure and what she learned from it * Why she avoided the camera herself for nearly 20 years and how that changed * The client who went from not knowing what to say at networking events to speaking in parliament * What reclaiming your voice looks like when you have spent years hiding in plain sight This one is a brilliant listen whether you have a podcast interview coming up, a stage opportunity on the horizon, or you simply want to start showing up with more presence and purpose.

Finding Your Voice After Everything Falls Apart: Building Two Businesses Through Separation with Becci Jones

What does it take to build not one but two businesses while navigating separation, solo parenting a four-year-old, and doing it all without letting anyone see the cracks? In this episode I'm joined by Becci Jones, LullaBaby franchisee in Lincoln and West Lindsay and founder of Beyond Birth with Becci, a postnatal doula business built to support mums who feel like they're doing it all alone, even when they're in a relationship. Becci opens up about a 12-year relationship that unravelled, an award-winning business her partner never once acknowledged, and how she kept showing up for her community while carrying more than anyone knew. We talk about: * Why Becci became a doula to better support the mums already coming to her baby classes * What the fourth trimester actually is and why so many women are left unsupported in it * The breastfeeding statistic that will genuinely stop you in your tracks (80% of women who felt they couldn't breastfeed weren't physiologically unable to, they just weren't supported) * How going through separation became the fuel for her business * What it means to hold space for other people when nobody is holding it for you * Why she started being honest online about what was really going on in her life, and what happened next * How she's building a personal brand by being unapologetically herself * The real reason community matters so much in those early months of motherhood Becci also shares why she believes mums in relationships need a voice just as much as single parents do, and why knowing your own instincts is the most powerful thing you can give yourself in parenting and in business. If you are in the middle of a hard season and wondering whether now could ever be the right time to build something, this one is for you.

Why You Don't Need More Clients to Make More Money with Taylor Smith

Are you a female founder making great sales but still wondering where all the money went? This week I'm joined by Taylor Smith, chartered accountant, former aviation CFO, and profit and cashflow strategist for women in business. Taylor works with successful female founders who are brilliant at what they do but have potentially avoided the financial side of their business. She specialises in increasing profit, strengthening cashflow, and helping women grow their revenue without needing more clients. And she's here to tell you that avoiding your numbers is completely understandable, and completely fixable. In this episode we cover: * Taylor's journey from a single parent household to the boardrooms of aviation companies, and why she left corporate to work with female entrepreneurs * Why so many women in business have a complicated relationship with their numbers and where that really comes from * The confidence shift that happens when a founder finally gets a handle on her finances * The most common profit leaks in small businesses and how to start finding them today * Why chasing new clients is often the slowest and most expensive way to grow your revenue * Pricing strategy for coaches and service providers, and how to raise your prices without it feeling out of alignment * How to structure your offer suite to increase profit from the clients you already have * How knowing your numbers connects to showing up, speaking up, and using your voice more powerfully as a business owner Taylor also shares two things you can do this week to start recovering profit you didn't even know you were losing. If you have ever felt vulnerable opening up about the real state of your finances, suspected you might be undercharging, or wondered why your revenue and your bank balance don't seem to match, this episode is for you.

From Silenced to Fully Expressed: Bea Lopez on Voice, Sales and Showing Up as Yourself

What if the very thing that got you fired was actually your greatest asset? In this episode I'm joined by Bea Lopez, expression to sales strategist, who spent 15 years building a successful career in pharmaceutical and medical device sales doing it entirely her own way. After being fired twice in three years for being too outspoken, her confidence collapsed. She found herself battling imposter syndrome, questioning whether she'd ever really been good at her work, and watching her sense of self erode not just in business but in her personal life too. What she discovered on the other side changed everything. The voice she'd been penalised for was the very thing that had made her exceptional -- and it became the foundation of the work she now does with women in business. We talk about what it actually felt like to lose her voice, why she felt relief when she was fired the second time, and why she believes most women's sales problems have nothing to do with sales skills at all. You'll hear about the fear of visibility, the fear of rejection, and how the way you show up in business mirrors the way you show up everywhere else. Bea also shares what it means to be fully expressed, why your story is your greatest sales tool, and what it looks like to be so grounded in your truth that nothing can shake you. This one is for anyone who has ever shrunk themselves to fit in -- and is ready to stop.
