The Human Reset with Serena Dodd

In this thought-provoking episode of The Human Reset, Serena Dodd sits down with Ben Akers to explore the subtle but powerful ways we lose connection with ourselves - and how we begin to find our way back. Ben shares honest reflections on navigating ambition, expectation, and the pressure to “have it all figured out,” while uncovering a more intentional, values-led way of living. Together, they dive into self-awareness, the courage to question the path you’re on, and why real fulfillment often comes from slowing down rather than pushing harder. If you’ve been moving through life on autopilot, this conversation is a timely invitation to pause, reflect, and reset on your own terms.

Together they explore the messy, beautiful realities of motherhood: from the myth of the “perfect parent” to the invisible skills required to run a home, and the freedom that comes with embracing imperfection. Zoë shares how she turned chaos into rhythm, why “team effort” is essential, and how mothers can reclaim both confidence and joy. This conversation is an empowering reminder that family life doesn’t have to be perfect to be meaningful - and that sometimes, saying "no" is the most loving choice of all. 🔗Links: Zoe's Website: https://realliferealkitchen.com/ Coaches: Join us at Fly: The Coaches Network: https://wearefly.com/ Please follow or subscribe, so you notified of all new content.   About Serena Dodd Serena Dodd isn’t here to sell you a dream life.

Made to Fly is for those who’ve built a life that looks great on the outside—but quietly feels off on the inside. If you're feeling restless, stuck, or like you’re sleepwalking through a life that technically works but no longer feels like your own, you're not alone—and you're not ungrateful. You're ready for something more. In this debut episode of Made to Fly, host Serena Dodd - the Aliveness Coach - turns the mic on herself. With honesty and humour, she shares what it feels like to look “successful” on the outside yet quietly feel trapped on the inside, and how she found the courage to reimagine her life. Together with producer Pete, they talk about mental isolation, the myth of success, and why “complete human imperfection” might just be the key to feeling fully alive again. If you’ve ever wondered “is this it?” while ticking all the boxes of success, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, inspired, and ready for more.
