I recorded this episode at 2am after weeks of broken sleep. Apparently it’s the Wolf Moon, which feels oddly fitting given how heightened everything feels right now.

There is a lot happening at once.

I share my excitement about stepping into the role of Regional Kent Director at Global Woman Club. It feels like a big moment. Energising, meaningful, and slightly overwhelming all at the same time. I talk about why I want more female founders to join the community, and what this next chapter represents for me.

At the same time, I’m deep in fee proposals, pricing bravely, and stretching myself financially in ways that feel uncomfortable but necessary. There is real momentum building - growth often asks more of us than we expect.

This episode explores what it’s like to hold highs and lows simultaneously. Excitement alongside pressure. Gratitude alongside overwhelm. I talk about the reality that sometimes the decisions that move us forward are tough ones, and they rarely arrive neatly wrapped or perfectly timed.

I also reflect on the importance of leaning into your tribe. Sharing what’s actually going on. Asking for help rather than trying to carry everything alone.

I pose a few questions for you to consider in your own business:

• How do you feel about WhatsApp groups? Supportive and connective, or distracting and overwhelming?

• Are you running your business entirely through virtual meetings?

• Are you getting out and meeting people face to face, or has convenience taken over connection?

I talk about why making time to enjoy the fruits of your labour really matters. Why slowing down enough to cherish close friends and family is not indulgent, but essential.

My journal after Christmas. It was a great end to the year. In this chapter of the Success Coach Journal, I'm sharing how the year finished up for me...

- After finishing my book, I found the wonderful people to publish for me. There's so much to do.

- And another book that I've been sitting with for nearly 20 years is finally finished. This is something very close to my heart. It's a book for construction industry professionals, bringing the intentions of the Equality Act law back to the table so that leaders can make decisions with confidence, without feeling the need to tick boxes or meet quotas.

I'm psyched for this year.

This week has been an emotional one and it’s taken me inward in ways I didn’t expect. I watched Limitless with Chris Hemsworth and it really landed. The focus on supercharging the brain through physical fitness and spiritual wakefulness made me think deeply about learning itself, and pushing personal boundaries, and endurance. The effects on the brain are enormous. It reminded me that growth isn’t accidental. It’s intentional.

I recorded three podcast episodes this week and each one awoke something in me. In my conversation with Kerry, we talked about weight and how taking care of ourselves directly impacts how we show up in life and business. That conversation triggered a real emotional awakening for me. A genuine puzzle piece falling into place.

My conversation with Rebecca centred around reinvention and change, and my divorce came up. It was emotional and raw, but necessary.

I also reached out to my brother, Les, which helped me finally let go of a relationship that had been challenging and energy depleting. As we evolve, some relationships simply can’t come with us, and that realisation was a shake up.

I won’t pretend this week was easy. I only trained twice in #My5amClub routine, I ate without care, switched my mindset off, and physically I can feel it.

This week reminded me that emotional strain always shows up in the body. And yet, alongside all of that, there’s been real momentum.

We had a powerful Mastermind gathering hosted by Lisa Johnson, met outstanding women, and I found my hybrid publisher for my book - no Amazon self publishing this time. I’ve also found the person who will be writing the foreword, a true powerhouse, and I’m beyond thrilled. On top of that, a course I've written for graduate surveyors has been CPD accredited, which I’m incredibly proud of.

Despite the emotional roller coaster, I've learned a lot about myself, I've cleared some sh*t and I've achieved. So I’m looking forward to 2026 with excitement. Growth isn’t always neat, but it’s always revealing.
