The moment the on‑air light flipped red, everything changed. Christine Blosdale walked into a radio studio expecting to crumble and walked out with a voice people couldn’t ignore. That spark carried her from AOL entertainment writer to independent radio host and now a coach who helps women stop playing small and claim their expert authority with clear, compelling language.

We talk about the sliding‑doors choices that follow a crisis of purpose, from reassessing her work in celebrity culture after 9/11 to discovering a community‑funded station that prized analysis over noise. Christine breaks down how to build a bridge from talent to authority: keep your day job while you lay foundations, sell what your dream clients actually want, and name your value in words people instantly understand. She shares how podcasting became a simple, high‑leverage platform for visibility, then explains why she pivoted as the market shifted toward brand messaging, positioning, and packaging expertise.

Imposter syndrome gets the honest treatment here and Christine’s antidote is service over self: focus on the person you help, not how you look. We trade tactics for momentum, from publishing books that boost SEO and credibility to using podcast guesting to open doors and deepen relationships.

Along the way, we explore designing work around your energy. Short, focused bursts, real rest, and routines that invite ideas can make authority feel natural instead of forced. Expect concrete steps, candid stories, and permission to evolve as your audience evolves. If you’re multi‑passionate, we’ll help you choose a clear entry point without abandoning your range and if you’re waiting to feel ready, consider this your nudge to speak and show up right now!

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!

Waiting for perfect clarity can feel safe, but it’s often the very thing keeping us stuck. This week I'm talking about why the first step isn’t a five-year plan or a neat job title, it’s rebellion—small, deliberate acts that shake you out of autopilot and remind your nervous system that you’re allowed to want what you want. From saying no to the plan you don’t want to changing one tiny routine on purpose, these micro moves create momentum, and momentum invites clarity to catch up.

You’ll hear stories from starting the podcast without a final format to navigating midlife defaults that run quiet but deep. We dig into why creating intentional space from the productivity treadmill is essential if you want your real voice to be heard. Think of this as a compassionate push: try the thing you’ve been overthinking, even if you do it badly at first, because action is the fastest teacher.

Expect practical prompts you can use today: write a “things I’d love to do if nobody judged me” list, follow your curiosity for an hour with no outcome, and pick one micro mischief to test this week. I'm not promising certainty; I'm offering a way to build working clarity through movement. If you’re feeling pressure to define 2026 still, with a word of the year or a master plan, this conversation gives you permission to start smaller and go deeper.

If this resonates, follow along, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so others can find it. Want to keep in touch as new things take shape? Join the mailing list and say hello on Instagram or LinkedIn—tell me the tiny rebellion you’ll try next!

If you're feeling stuck or trapped by the daily grind, book a 1:1 coaching session with me and let's get you the momentum you're looking for

Endings don’t need noise to matter. They need honesty, time, and the courage to pause when the calendar demands motion. I'm sharing a rare behind‑the‑scenes moment: why the podcast is heading toward its final chapters, and how I'm letting the ending arrive on its own schedule rather than forcing a finish for the sake of a date.

Together we unpack the difference between finishing and ending well, and how cultural pressure—deadlines, year‑end goals, “new year, new you”—can push us to rush what deserves care. You’ll hear personal stories of exits done too fast, the hollowness that follows, and the subtle relief of stepping back to notice what’s truly complete. We explore the quiet mechanics of clarity: waiting longer than is comfortable, following energy instead of a plan, and allowing direction to surface in small, steady signals. Think seasonally, not just strategically; winter is for rest and nature works in cycles.

I also share two practical anchors. First, the podcast will rest over the holidays so the final episodes can land with integrity, not obligation. Second, for anyone stuck between fatigue and possibility, the Rebel Reset offers a focused 90‑minute session to cut through fog and choose a next step that actually feels like you.

If this speaks to you, follow along or share with a friend who needs permission to rest, thoughtful endings and brave new beginnings...

By the way, Here's that full article from Kim @ Clementine

What if freedom isn’t a stamp-filled passport but a calendar that finally breathes? I sit down with travel-writer-turned-coach Georgie Darling to unpack how a business can fund a bigger life instead of quietly swallowing it. From the early thrill of flights and flexible work to the hard truth of vanishing time, Georgie maps the shift from chasing escape to designing ease—on purpose.

We get specific about the levers that matter: auditing your workload to kill performative tasks, tightening your offer into services you love, and pricing for stability with retainers that buy back hours. Georgie shares how she helps creative women—writers, videographers, digital marketers—ditch hustle myths, set humane boundaries, and choose clients who energise instead of exhaust. For midlife listeners balancing kids and careers, we explore freedom that looks like steady income, clear guardrails and emotional confidence in your craft, not another app to master.

Travel can be a mirror. Notice the feelings you chase—curiosity, calm, aliveness—and rebuild your week to create them without a boarding pass. Start with a small rebellion: a half-day for joy, a solo lunch, a train to somewhere new. Then write to your future self and use simple tools— a goal breakdown, a firm schedule—to turn vision into steps. You don’t need every skill under the sun; you need mastery, messaging and the courage to say no when your gut whispers red flag.

Ready to design a business that gives you a life? Press play, then tell me the one hour you’ll reclaim this week. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to go slower, and leave a quick review so more rebels can find us.

This week I sit down with Meg the Creator to dive into a calm, repeatable way to earn online without chasing followers, going live, or turning your life into content. Megan left her 9-5 job during maternity leave, paid off $60,000 in debt, and built a sustainable business by creating user‑generated content for brands—quiet work with loud results.

We unpack what UGC really is and why marketers love it: real people making authentic videos and photos that brands own and scale across ads and social. Megan breaks down how beginners get hired fast through apps like JoinBrands, Billo, Incense, and Tribe, often with scripts and shot lists provided. No portfolio? No problem. You’ll learn how to land first gigs in a day, and use simple negotiation to move from one‑offs to bundles and retainers. We dig into the psychology that sells—leading with emotion, not specs—and how to frame everyday benefits that drive clicks and conversions.

For introverts, this path feels humane. We talk boundaries that protect energy, batching to avoid burnout, and choosing brand categories that feel aligned. Meg shares candid student wins, from parents earning 5k in their first month to older creators landing paid videos without public profiles. She also reveals the edge behind her Anti‑Influencer Method: a living master list of brands, agencies, and faceless opportunities that bridges learning to paid work. If you’ve been stuck in the myth that only influence equals income, this episode hands you a blueprint that turns one content skill into multiple revenue streams.

Ready to make marketing feel simple, fast, and surprisingly fun?

This week I sit down with Hannah Isted—creator of The Best 90 Days Ever and author of the book—to unpack how 10-minute tasks, underthinking, and bold experiments can unlock momentum for small business owners. Instead of chasing perfection or waiting for motivation, Hannah shows how to set a timer, ship your work, and let consistency compound.

We dig into her “big fish energy” theme, a yearly compass that nudges her to act like the braver version of herself: pitching talks, improving public speaking, and even launching a local meet-up that went viral. Hannah shares why most of us resist letting tasks be easy, how to build lightweight systems that pay off all year, and the exact ways she reuses content without anyone noticing. From Trello boards for seasonal campaigns to saved email folders and photo libraries, she proves that repeatable processes beat starting from scratch.

You’ll learn how to restart your content habit by repurposing last year’s winners, how to scroll with curiosity to reverse-engineer hooks, and why posting more often helps you gather the data you need to actually improve. We also explore healthy boundaries for personal sharing—picking a small set of topics that reveal your personality without crossing lines—so your audience has something real to engage with. The takeaway is clear: momentum is built from tiny, focused actions, identity grows through doing, and opportunities multiply when seized!

If you’re tired of overthinking and want practical steps you can use today, this conversation will get you moving. Subscribe for more rebel-friendly strategies, share this episode with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review to tell us the first 10-minute task you’ll try!

What happens when you stop chasing everyone and start choosing the few who truly get you? We sit down with Storm Mackay, founder of Soba Private Label, to unpack their unglossy reality of building a distinctive brand and a life designed on purpose. No hustle theatre, no yacht mythology—just the messy, honest path from wrong offers and empty pipelines to a bold identity, a ramen‑slurping mascot, and clients who pay for real thinking.

Storm shares why “splitting the room” is the most underrated growth strategy in saturated markets, and how clear positioning lives in the buyer’s mind long before a sales call. We dig into the craft of memorable assets, irreverent copy that earns attention, and the patience it takes for a message to wear in. You’ll hear why Soba chose to “win a city” instead of a country and what it looks like to do your own marketing in public so prospects trust you faster.

Beyond tactics, we go deep on identity, values, and redefining ambition. Storm’s version of success isn’t headcount—it’s five great clients, time for their garden, and work that feels aligned. We talk about handling rejection without shrinking your signal, drawing firm lines around client fit, and the radical clarity that comes from stepping away from social media comparison. If you’ve felt stuck between safe and alive, this conversation offers a map: choose your 5 percent, hold the line, and let the rest fall away.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with one brave friend, and leave a quick review—what’s one expectation you’ll break this week?

What if aliveness was the metric you designed your life and business around? We dive straight into that question this week and unpack why aliveness fades quietly whilst the “sensible voice” keeps you safe and stuck at the same time. You’ll learn a simple tradeoff test—by saying yes to this, what am I saying no to?—that exposes the hidden cost of choices that drain you. We explore elevating the ordinary in work and life, shifting your business goals from chasing perfection to designing for energy, and building a practice of tiny, rebellious experiments that restore momentum. You can’t think your way into aliveness; you act your way into it with small, honest moves that compound.

If you’ve been feeling flat, busy, or strangely disconnected from the life you built, this conversation offers both a reframe and a plan. I share how to step into the version of you who stops asking for permission, listens to desire without apology, and makes one bold move that your future self will thank you for.

And if you're ready for focused support? I am opening up 3 spaces for my Rebel Reset Sessions - a 90-minute deep dive with a simple action plan and seven days of Voxer (voice message) support. Claim you spot now by clicking this link or if you want to talk it through, book a free call with me here
