    • 144. How writing a book became the antidote to my perfectionism with Kim Payne

      144. How writing a book became the antidote to my perfectionism with Kim Payne
      Feb 18 2026

      Today is the day.

      After 15 years of saying “someday,” my book Courageous Me officially went live on Amazon…and wow, what a mixed bag of emotions.

      In this deeply personal episode, recorded on the day my book was released into the world, I pull back the curtain on something I’ve wrestled with for most of my life: perfectionism.

      Not the cute, colour-coded, high-achieving version.

      The exhausting, identity-wrapping, action-blocking version.

      I read a powerful section from Part Four of the book, Your Permission Slip, where I unpack what it was like growing up believing I had to be perfect, how that belief shaped my decisions, and the surprising childhood nickname that cracked the illusion wide open.

      This is a story about masks, overachievement, control… and the moment I realised perfection wasn’t protecting me—it was quietly holding me back.

      It’s about what happens when you can’t edit anymore.

      When the stage isn’t scripted.

      When the armour has to come off.

      If you’ve ever waited for the perfect time, the perfect conditions, or the “perfect” version of you… this conversation might be the whispering you didn’t know you needed.

      Key takeaways:

      o What if perfection isn’t your strength… and what it might be quietly costing you.

      o How a childhood label can shape a lifetime, and not in a good way.

      o Why perfection feels safe — until it becomes your biggest liability.

      o What happens when you can’t revise, rehearse, or control the outcome.

      o The hidden reason “someday” keeps getting postponed, and what it takes to turn it into today.

      If you want to understand what courage really looks like when it comes to money, identity, and life transitions, this episode is for you.In this conversation, we meet financial adviser and business owner Natallia Smith, founder of TruWealth Advice, for a deeply human exploration of the quiet, often invisible courage women draw on every day.From migrating to Australia at 22 with no English and no safety net, to building a business that supports single women over 50 through divorce, loss, retirement, and reinvention—Natallia shares how values, identity, and lived experience shape the decisions we make… especially the hard ones.This episode goes far beyond money. It explores why women delay seeking financial advice, how fear and bias quietly influence choices, and what happens when courage isn’t loud or dramatic, but steady, values-led, and deeply personal.You’ll hear about ethical courage in business, the emotional weight of financial truth-telling, the link between identity shifts and money decisions, and why confidence doesn’t come before action—it’s built through it.If you’ve ever avoided a financial conversation because it felt uncomfortable, questioned whether you “should know more by now,” or felt the ground shift beneath you during a major life change… this episode might be exactly what the doctor ordered. Key takeaways:o Why women delay financial decisions even when they know something needs to change.o What it takes to tell the truth when the answer isn’t what someone wants to hear.o How migrating, starting over, and rebuilding identity shape our relationship with money.o The hidden link between values, courage, and the decisions we avoid the longest.o What makes a woman feel safe when talking about money.o Why confidence with money is built after action, not before it.o What shifts when women stop judging themselves for what they “should” know.

    • 142. Why learning to receive makes you a more generous giver with Kim Payne

      142. Why learning to receive makes you a more generous giver with Kim Payne
      Feb 4 2026

      Receiving sounds simple, and yet for many capable, generous, high-achieving women, it can feel deeply uncomfortable.

      In this episode, I explore why receiving can trigger guilt, resistance, and that unexplained urge to “even the score.”

      We unpack the unspoken rules many of us live by when it comes to asking for, accepting, receiving, and allowing ourselves to be supported — and how our giving behaviours and discomfort with receiving are often tangled up with self-worth, identity, and the need to prove our value.

      I talk about why receiving is not a passive skill but an active one and why it takes courage.

      And I share how learning to receive gracefully can change the way you give, lead, relate, and sustain yourself—personally and professionally.

      If you’ve ever brushed off a compliment, felt uneasy accepting help, kept mental tabs, or struggled to ask for what you really want… this episode is for you.

      Key takeaways:

      o Why asking for what you want can feel more challenging than doing everything yourself.

      o What your reaction to compliments, help, or generosity can quietly reveal about your self-worth.

      o How generosity can become depleting when it isn’t balanced with receiving.

      o What makes receiving a skill that takes practice.

      o What happens to leadership, energy, and sustainability when receiving is resisted.

      o How allowing yourself to receive can actually make you a more generous giver.
