What does it really take to hold ambition, motherhood, career, and self-respect in the same life - without burning out or losing yourself?

In this episode, I’m joined by Julia Davis - Great Britain ultra runner, trail athlete, coach, mother, and merchandiser - whose achievements are world-class, but whose approach to life is even more compelling.

From earning her GB vest to racing some of the toughest mountain routes on the planet, Julia performs at an elite level. Yet what stands out most is the way she chooses her life deliberately - carving out time for running, protecting space for her family, and refusing to measure herself by anyone else’s ruler.

We talk about guilt, discipline, adventure, time management, reclaiming your identity after feeling lost, and the courage it takes to prioritise what fills your cup - even when it feels selfish.

A powerful, expansive conversation about building a life that works because it’s built on intention.

In this episode, I’m joined by Gemma Lessinger, who shares how a forced pause during lockdown led her to reconnect with something she’d left behind - and how that moment changed the direction of her life. After twenty years in a demanding career, Gemma began listening to her gut in a deeper way, learning to balance determination with intuition as she built something entirely her own.

We talk about confidence (and how it grows through action), the difference between stubbornness and self-trust, and why meaningful change doesn’t have to come from dramatic leaps - but from steady, intentional steps.

A grounded, honest conversation about backing yourself, letting go of who you thought you had to be, and finding your way - in your own time.

What happens when you give yourself total freedom to try - and stop worrying about getting it “right”?

In this episode, I’m joined by Lindsey Holland - leading fashion creator, founder of Marnie Rays women’s surf retreats, and a creative who’s built her life by following curiosity, taking risks, and choosing again when things no longer fit.

Lindsey shares how her path has shifted through NHS physiotherapy, fashion, business, relationships, solo travel, and building something entirely her own - not through having a master plan, but by trusting herself to experiment and move forward without guarantees.

We talk about burnout, losing yourself inside a relationship, not fearing failure, and how giving yourself permission to try creates deep self-trust over time.

A grounding, expansive conversation for anyone at a crossroads - or quietly wondering if there’s another way to live and work that feels more like them.
