Why aren't we talking about this: Making Money
I'll be honest, my first reaction was suspicion. When Lorna Lyons told me she had a thriving business, earned well, and wasn't grinding every single day, something in me bristled. Is she a con artist? Is this a pyramid scheme? I sat with that reaction. And when I dug into it, I realised it wasn't scepticism. It was envy. Because I've spent years believing that to make money, you have to earn it through sheer, exhausting, performative effort. Sat at your desk by nine. Always on. Hustle until it hurts. Lorna blew that story apart. She made a distinction. There is a a big difference between working hard and putting in effort. She puts enormous effort into her business. But she's not grinding inside it every hour of the day. She built a model that works differently. Time-freedom focused. One to many. Digital. Intentional. And here's what really got me: she didn't stumble into it. She made a deliberate choice about the life she wanted first and then built the business around it. I've been doing it the other way round my whole career. This episode cracked something open for me. If you've ever felt that twinge of "but surely it can't be that different..." when someone talks about building a business on their own terms- this one's for you. --- Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should - big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human.

Why aren't we talking about this: Burn Out
"She's so resilient. She's got it all together." That's the badge. And for a lot of high-functioning women, it's the thing that almost destroys them. When you've spent years accepting that label- being the one who copes, who holds it together, who doesn't quit and admitting you're not coping becomes almost impossible. And shameful. You're supposed to be the one who handles everything. My guest this week knows that feeling intimately. She kept going through a divorce, a seriously ill child, full-time work, and hospital stays. She convinced herself she was fine. And then one day her body made the decision she wouldn't. What makes this even more striking: Sheena has spent 20 years as a medical professional and when it happened to her, there was no real support or understanding of what she'd been through. Sheena is a rehabilitation physiotherapist, a health coach, and a burnout survivor. In this conversation she explains what burnout actually is not the buzzword version, but the physiological reality of what happens when your stress system breaks down completely. Why you can't sleep it off. Why this is not just about work, work may have contributed, but it is about their full life. Why the people most at risk are the ones who look the most capable. And how to start being honest before it reaches the point of no return. The word that keeps coming back to me from this conversation: conditioning. We are conditioned to carry more than we should. We are conditioned not to ask for help. And somewhere along the way, that conditioning became a crisis. --- Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should - big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human.

Why aren't we talking about this: Jealousy (Live Episode)
"LinkedIn is a jealousy machine pretending to be a motivation machine." Ooofff.. yep. Award season rolls around. Amazing job announcements. That campaign you wish you'd thought of. Everyone "thrilled, delighted, and excited." And you're sitting there feeling hot with rage wondering what's wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. This is a live recording and we did not hold back. We talked about every aspect of jealousy. Not in a sanitised, packaged way. In a raw, I'm actually naming who and what my biggest triggers are kind of way. We talked about: Reading someone's brilliant work and feeling genuine rage- not because they did anything wrong, but because it held up a mirror to everything I'd been sitting on and not doing. Why jealousy might only be about other women and what that says about how few seats there still are at the table. The sliding doors version of yourself. Getting jealous of the life you didn't choose. Is that jealousy? Or is it grief? What your body is actually telling you when jealousy hits and why it's not about the other person at all. Spoiler hot and ragey... The jealousy map. A tool that might just change how you process it. My biggest takeaway? Jealousy is a signal. When you actually stop and listen to it, it's pointing at something you want, something you care about, something that matters to you. The question is whether you let it fester or let it unlock something. Huge thanks to Women in PR and FINN Partners for making it happen. --- Why Aren’t We Talking About This? is a series of honest conversations about the stuff we rarely discuss but probably should - big feelings, weird thoughts, life, death, and all the messy, beautiful parts of being human.
