Change Unfiltered: The Freedom to Work Differently

S4 Ep37 When Heartbreak Says Go

Ann-Marie Plumb was living the life she thought she was supposed to want. A solid career, a relationship that looked promising, a rhythm that felt familiar and safe. But after losing her mum and facing an unexpected breakup, she reached a point many mid-career women quietly recognise. The point where “fine” is no longer enough.   In this conversation, she speaks with Angela about the moment she realised she needed to start again, the decision to quit her job, pack up her flat, and book a one-way ticket out of the UK, and what two years of travelling the world has taught her about identity, confidence and what really matters.   Ann-Marie shares the emotional and practical realities of rebuilding life from the ground up, choosing to be single and child-free in her late thirties, and why freedom becomes possible the moment you stop waiting for life to happen and start living it on your own terms.   If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re too old, too late, or too settled to choose a completely different path, this episode will remind you that you’re not. Sometimes the beginning you’ve been waiting for arrives disguised as the ending you didn’t expect.   Connect with Ann-Marie:   Instagram: instagram.com/areuokay_annie [http://instagram.com/areuokay_annie/]   Website: areuokayannie.com [http://areuokayannie.com/] Connect and show support:   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/]   Instagram: instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered [https://www.instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered]    Email: angela@joynergi.com [angela@joynergi.com]     Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott  [https://buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott]

S4 Ep36 The Masks We Wear

In this solo episode, Angela reflects on the themes running through her recent conversations with guests Lisa and Heloise, two women who changed direction in very different ways but uncovered the same deeper truths. She explores the psychology behind performance, the masks we wear, and the quiet signals our bodies send long before we’re ready to admit something isn’t working. Angela breaks down concepts like boundary drift, identity elasticity and the conflict between instinct and logic, offering a grounded look at why mid-career change is rarely about the job itself.   If you’ve ever felt capable but misaligned, successful but disconnected, or quietly aware that something in your life no longer fits, this episode offers a place to start exploring.   Connect and show support:   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/]   Instagram: instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered [https://www.instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered]    Email: angela@joynergi.com [angela@joynergi.com]   Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott [https://buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott]

S4 Ep35 When You Finally Step Off the Merry-Go-Round

After decades in the high-pressure world of global tech, Lisa Renals reached the moment so many mid-career professionals secretly long for. She stepped off the merry-go-round.   In this conversation, she speaks with Angela about the golden handcuffs that keep people circling limiting beliefs, the physical and emotional toll of constant “plate-spinning" and the relief of finally saying enough is enough.   Lisa shares how she found her way back to herself through solution-focused hypnotherapy and what it really means to build a life that feels calm, purposeful and self-directed.   If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s too late to change direction, this episode will remind you that it’s not. It’s simply time to listen to what your instincts have been trying to tell you all along.   Connect and show support:   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/]   Instagram: instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered [https://www.instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered]    Email: angela@joynergi.com [angela@joynergi.com]     Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott  [https://buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott] Connect with Lisa:   Website: lisaclarehypnotherapy.co.uk/ [https://lisaclarehypnotherapy.co.uk/]    LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lisa-clare-renals-57291a/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisa-clare-renals-57291a/]    Facebook: facebook.com/people/Lisa-Clare-Hypnotherapy/61561076156902/ [https://www.facebook.com/people/Lisa-Clare-Hypnotherapy/61561076156902/]  Instagram: instagram.com/lisa.renals/ [https://www.instagram.com/lisa.renals/]

S4 Ep34 Faking It Until You Make It

What happens when a woman who’s spent her whole life trying to “do it right” realises she’s been performing her way through her own pleasure? In this episode of Change Unfiltered, Angela Scott explores what it really takes to move from performance to presence through the story of a woman who rebuilt her life from the inside out. After years of chasing perfection, pleasing others, and staying busy enough not to feel, Heloïse Haupt found herself at a breaking point - burnt out, disconnected, and quietly ashamed of the truth she was hiding. What began as a private search for self-understanding became a complete reawakening of confidence, body connection and self-worth. Together, they talk about: * The hidden parallels between career burnout and emotional disconnection * Why so many women perform their way through life and what it takes to stop * How shame keeps us quiet, and how honesty begins to heal it * The link between self-love, pleasure, and personal power * What changes when you finally start listening to your body’s wisdom This is a conversation about permission, to feel, to rest and to want more, and the freedom that comes when you stop faking it.   Connect with Heloïse Instagram: instagram.com/heloisehaupt [https://www.instagram.com/heloisehaupt] Website: heloisehaupt.com [https://www.heloisehaupt.com]   Connect and show support   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/] Instagram: instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered [https://www.instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered]  Email: angela@joynergi.com [angela@joynergi.com]  Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott [https://buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott]

S4 Ep33 Between Leading and Living Change

In this solo episode, Angela reflects on the two very different opening conversations of the season with Lata Hamilton on leading change and Karen Skidmore on living it. What begins as a comparison becomes a deeper exploration of how real transformation always has two layers: the outer work of what we do, and the inner work of who we’re becoming. Angela unpacks why we often feel “stuck” when our inner change hasn’t yet caught up with the external one, how raw and polished states both have value, and why the in-between (that uncomfortable neutral zone) is where wisdom forms. If you’re navigating a transition, in work or in life, this episode is a reminder that confusion isn’t failure. It’s growth in motion. Themes: – The two layers of change: outer vs. inner – Raw vs. polished states of transformation – The psychology of endings, neutral zones, and beginnings – Midlife leadership and the courage to stay curious   Connect and show support:   LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/angelajscottuk/ Instagram: instagram.com/angelajoyunfiltered  Email: angela@joynergi.com  Buy me a coffee: buymeacoffee.com/angelajoyscott
