When you’re ambitious, responsible, and constantly holding space for others — your own needs, goals, and joy can slowly slip to the bottom of the list.This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Danielle McGeough — professor, speaker, mum, and self-leadership coach for high-achieving women. Danielle blends research, lived experience, and playful experimentation to help women reclaim their time and reimagine how they approach planning and productivity.Together, we explore what becomes possible when you stop chasing discipline and start leading with clarity, curiosity, and nervous system safety.We talk about staying organised without burning out, reconnecting with what actually matters, and why planning starts with self-trust - not pressure.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why most traditional planning systems fail working mums - and what actually helpsHow to build structure that supports your nervous system, not overloads itWhat it looks like to set goals from a place of calm, not cortisolThe power of mini rituals and micro-moments to anchor your dayWays to return to your goals when life gets messyTo get in touch with Danielle go to:https://www.plangoalplan.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielle-mcgeough-phd-%F0%9F%97%93%EF%B8%8F-b673334/Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
