      S3, Ep 5: How to Stop the Perfectionism-Procrastination Cycle
      Feb 1 2026
      In this episode I’m talking about perfectionism and it’s very cosy bedfellow procrastination.I work primarily with objectively successful professional women (I work with men too, but over 90% of my clients are women who hold senior positions in their company or run their own businesses – sometimes both) – and a trait that comes up time and time again for these women is perfectionism – their constant and relentless pursuit of perfection. It can be a loud and urgent pursuit, but it can also be a low and constant hum.So many incredible, talented and ambitious women are shackled by their perfectionism because more often than not, it’s not helping them to reach greater heights, it’s holding them back. It’s keeping them smaller and more muted than their talents, passions and skills deserve to be.So today I want to tackle it and provide some ways you can finally break free from the perfectionism/procrastination cycle.The episode is broken down as follows:The Perfectionism-Procrastination Cycle explained – what perfectionism is, what procrastination is and how the two are linked.We’ll unpack The myths, lies, harms and excuses of perfectionism We’ll get practical and explore how to move From perfectionism into action – including The Intentional Procrastination Method Self-Coaching Questions for you to interrogate your own relationship with perfectionism and procrastination Resources referenced:‘How the Modern Epidemic of Perfectionism is Impacting Our Health with Will Storr’ on The Feel Better, Live More podcast by Rangan Chaterjee: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/feel-better-live-more-with-dr-rangan-chatterjee/id1333552422?i=1000648081242‘Children with ADHD Avoid Failure and Punishment More Than Others, Study Says’ by Devon Frye on AttitudeMag: https://www.additudemag.com/children-with-adhd-avoid-failure-punishment/‘Why procrastination isn’t laziness – it’s rigid thinking that your brain can unlearn’ by Annemieke Apergis-Schoute on The Conversation: https://theconversation.com/why-procrastination-isnt-laziness-its-rigid-thinking-that-your-brain-can-unlearn-270838 'How to Befriend Your Inner Critic' by Monique Shaw on The Rewriters podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/s3-ep-4-how-to-befriend-your-inner-critic/id1538589146?i=1000743388781 Further ReadingPerfectionism is adaptive and maladaptive, but what is the combined effect?' by Joachim Stober, Daniel J Madigan, Lazaros Gonidis on Science Direct: https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/psychology/perfectionism ‘Perfectionism’ (no author) on Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/gb/basics/perfectionism#:~:text=Perfectionists%20set%20unrealistically%20high%20expectations,life%20for%20approval%20and%20validation.

    • S3, Ep 4: How to Befriend Your Inner Critic

      S3, Ep 4: How to Befriend Your Inner Critic
      Jan 1 2026

      In this episode, we’ll explore why the common advice to "silence" or "erase" your inner critic is destined to fail. Instead, we’ll dive into the transformative power of listening to, learning from, befriending – and ultimately transcending – that critical inner voice. Whether you're struggling with confidence, imposter syndrome or negative self-talk, this episode provides guidance and techniques to turn your harshest critic into your greatest ally.


      You'll learn:

      • The psychology of the inner critic: What it actually is and why it’s trying to protect you.
      • Identifying limiting beliefs: How to spot the hidden assumptions holding you back.
      • Actionable tools & techniques: Methods for managing the inner critic in-the-moment and longer-term.
      • A deep-dive case study: A real-life look at someone’s personal experience with their inner critic.
      • Self-coaching framework: Questions to help you befriend and move beyond your critic, starting today.


      Stop fighting your mind and start leading it.

    • S3, Ep 3: How to Survive Redundancy

      S3, Ep 3: How to Survive Redundancy
      Nov 1 2025

      Welcome to HOW TO SURVIVE REDUNDANCY…


      Like any big career transition – redundancy may end up being the most transformative thing that has ever happened in your career.


      In this episode I aim to provide clarity and support for those experiencing redundancy. I share a 4-point framework for not just surviving redundancy but thriving after it.


      The episode is broken up into the 4 points of the framework:


      1. FORTIFYING – What does it mean to fortify during redundancy?
      2. CONTROL – Controlling the controllable
      3. CONNECT –The importance of sharing the load
      4. ACT – Taking some time to breath and then taking ACTION!
