Unshakeable Talks

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, I’m joined by Laura, a financial speaker, creator and host of the Mind Money Soul podcast, to talk about why your money problems don’t actually start with money. We get into her journey from saving £15,000 for drama school to deciding to spend it all on traveling the world instead, and how that experience led her into the world of financial psychology and helping women understand the emotional side of money. We talk about overspending as a coping mechanism, money leaks, money dates, investing fears and why wealth is about your whole life (not just your bank balance). Laura also shared an exclusive with us about her book launching later this year.Key Takeaways:Money is emotional before it’s practical.Most of us think money is about maths, spreadsheets and budgets, but the real driver is how you feel about yourself, your worth and your life - overspending, avoidance and chaos are often emotional responses, not being ‘bad with money’.Overspending is often self‑soothing.Impulse buys, ‘I’ve had a bad day’ splurges and constant treats can be a way to regulate stress, low self‑worth or feeling ‘not enough,’ especially for women sold the idea that we need more stuff to be acceptable.You can’t change what you won’t look at.Many women say they “can’t save” without actually knowing where their money goes; tracking spending and finding money leaks (unused subscriptions, endless Uber Eats) often reveals cash that could fund what they truly value.Budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about intention.Rich people budget too - they just give more to each category. A budget that matches your values helps you enjoy your life and move towards bigger goals instead of wondering where it all went.Regular money dates build confidence and relief.Sitting down monthly to review numbers, notice patterns, ask how money felt that month and adjust going forward turns money from a source of anxiety into a relationship you actually understand and feel in control of.If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Laura on Instagram @laura_ann_moore.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Lauren, a lifestyle‑first business coach who helps solopreneur women build businesses that work around their lives, not the other way round. Lauren shares how she started her business during the pandemic, built it in just one focused hour a day while caring for her terminally ill granddad, and eventually realised she’d accidentally created her ‘worst nightmare’. The business she built had a complicated offer stack and launch calendar that left no room for real life. Lauren shares with us how simplifying to one core offer changed everything.Key Takeaways:Life will hit - build for it.At some point it will be illness, caregiving, kids, travel or sheer exhaustion, and your business model needs to be able to hold you through those seasons instead of collapsing the second you slow down. You can grow with one focused hour a day.Growth comes from being intentional, strategic and focused, instead of spreading yourself thin across tasks that don’t ‘move the needle’.Many ‘good’ businesses are secretly unsustainable.A full calendar, stacked offers and constant launches can look successful but feel like a house of cards when everything relies on you being on, available and at your desk 24/7.One core offer can unlock real freedom.Shifting from multiple programs, courses and launches into one signature offer is really all you need to have a successful business AND spaciousness to travel, rest and actually have a life.Honest self‑audits come before change.You can’t design a lifestyle‑first business if you won’t admit what’s actually burning you out, what’s not working anymore, and what needs to go, even if it’s currently ‘working’ on paper.If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Lauren on Instagram @laurellenbarlow. You can also listen to Lauren’s free 5-part private podcast called "Simply Scaling to 6-Figures" about how to take one single offer to the 6-figure lifetime mark.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of the Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to Emma Rothwell, founder of The Quirky Giraffe to understand exactly how she built a six-figure business from a £500 investment… from her boyfriend’s parents’ garage.What started as a lockdown side hustle quickly turned into something much bigger, as Emma talks about how she went from corporate marketing to running a fast-growing e-commerce brand all by following her intuition, taking risks, and saying yes to every opportunity.Emma also shares the behind-the-scenes about her experience on The Apprentice, the reality of being thrown into high-pressure environments without your support system, and how what felt like failure at the time became the catalyst for her biggest identity shift yet.This episode is a powerful reminder that confidence isn’t something you’re born with… it’s something you build through experience, resilience, and backing yourself when it matters most.Key Takeaways:You don’t need perfect conditions to startEmma built her business with a £500 investment during lockdown, proving that you don’t need the perfect plan, timing, or setup to begin… just a willingness to take action and figure things out as you go.Your environment shapes how you show upBeing removed from her support system during The Apprentice experience showed Emma just how much confidence, performance, and identity are influenced by the people around you.Confidence is built through experience, not theoryFrom starting a business to appearing on national TV, Emma’s journey shows that real confidence comes from putting yourself in uncomfortable situations, not waiting until you feel ready.Sometimes what feels like failure is the turning pointBeing voted off The Apprentice in week one felt like a huge setback, but ultimately became the moment that shifted Emma into a new level of self-trust and internal confidence.Standing out matters more than fitting inIn a saturated market, Emma built her brand by doing things differently… from bold marketing ideas to creating content that stops the scroll and gets people talking.Build your business with an exit in mindFrom the start, Emma approached her business with long-term vision - understanding whether she wanted to run it for lifestyle or scale it to sell, and making decisions accordingly.If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Emma on Instagram and explore The Quirky Giraffe here.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Jojo, a strategic self-expression coach who helps women turn their identity into their greatest business asset. They talk about what it really means to stop shape-shifting for approval, reclaim the parts of you that have been called ‘too much,’ and become unapologetically magnetic in life and business. Jojo shares the identity shakeup that’s happened for her over the last few months, from hiding behind outfits and external validation to becoming the woman who walks into a room and is instantly remembered for her energy, presence and self-trust.Key Takeaways:Your ‘too much’ is actually an assetThe traits you’ve been told to tone down - being loud, colourful, emotional, extra - are often the exact things that make you magnetic to the right people and clients. When you build a brand around those traits instead of hiding them, you stop attracting the wrong people and start calling in the ones who are truly meant to be in your world.External validation will always keep you smallWhen your worth is tied to how noticed, praised or approved you are, every room becomes a test and every comment can knock your confidence. Shifting focus opens up space to actually receive opportunities, growth and genuine connection.Authenticity is vulnerable, but it’s where magnetism livesBeing your whole self is confronting, because it makes you a mirror for everyone else’s insecurities, projections and unfulfilled desires. Some people will be triggered, but others will feel deeply seen and permissioned to be themselves too - and those are the people your work is for.You attract as much as you repelWhen you accept that magnetism includes both attraction and repulsion, criticism stops meaning ‘there’s something wrong with me’ and starts signalling that your message is clear and potent.Discipline and identity shifts change your realityTreating discipline as self-respect, not punishment, creates compounding evidence that you can trust yourself, which transforms how you show up everywhere.If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Jojo on Instagram @ThrivewithJoJo.

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Chloe-Anne Collins - but this time, Katy is the one in the hot seat as she shares the story behind her journey to becoming an unshakeable woman. From leaving Germany with an eight-week-old baby, to building a multi six-figure cleaning business with a team of over 45 staff, to walking away from the ‘dream life’ on paper when she realised she was deeply unhappy, this conversation goes right to the root of what it really costs to keep performing success while you’re quietly falling apart.Key Takeaways:You’re allowed to outgrow your own successSometimes the business, career or life you worked so hard to build no longer fits who you are now. Walking away from something ‘great on paper’ can be the most honest next move you make.Kindness needs boundaries to stay healthyOver-giving, rescuing and constantly holding everything together might look like kindness, but it quickly turns into burnout when there are no limits. Real generosity includes protecting your time, energy and emotional capacity.A perfect-looking life can still feel wrongHaving the house, the partner, the holidays and the money doesn’t guarantee you feel fulfilled. Feeling unhappy in a life that looks “ideal” from the outside is a signal to listen to yourself, not a reason to feel ashamed.Being unshakeable means wobbling wellUnshakeable women still feel fear, doubt and overwhelm - they just don’t let those moments define them. The work is learning to notice the wobble, support yourself through it, and keep moving instead of collapsing or quitting.You need different circles for different parts of youNo single group of people can hold every version of you. It’s powerful to intentionally build circles for motherhood, business, friendship and growth, so you’re not asking the wrong room to validate the deepest parts of your vision.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Chrissie, the creator of The Mum Boss Method, for a conversation about menopause, identity, and reclaiming your confidence in midlife. Together they explore why so many women feel stuck, exhausted, or disconnected during this stage of life, and how it can actually become the moment everything shifts. This episode is a reminder that menopause isn’t the end of anything, and it can be the beginning of your boldest, most unapologetic chapter yet.Key Takeaways:The symptoms you’re experiencing might not be ‘just stress.’Many people write off anxiety, fatigue, poor sleep, or low confidence as simply being overwhelmed by life. But sometimes these symptoms are signals from your body that something deeper needs attention, and listening to them sooner can change everything.Sustainable change starts with your identity, not just habits.It’s easy to believe the answer lies in the perfect diet or workout routine. Real transformation happens when you explore your beliefs, mindset, and the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are and what’s possible for you.Stress impacts your choices more than you realise.When your stress levels are high, everything becomes harder - from sleeping well to making healthy decisions. Managing stress isn’t just about feeling calmer; it directly influences the habits and behaviours that shape your health and energy.The power of the pause can change your reactions.When emotions run high, we often react quickly in ways that don’t serve us. Taking a moment to pause creates space to respond with intention instead of reacting out of stress, frustration, or overwhelm.Midlife can be a powerful reset, not a decline.Many people are told life slows down or becomes more limited with age. In reality, this stage can be the perfect opportunity to redefine what you want, communicate more honestly, and build a life that truly fits who you’ve become.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Chrissie on Instagram @themumbossmethod and take Chrissie’s Menopause Weight Loss Quiz here.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gibbs-Ng, performance coach and host of the Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel podcast. Emma works with athletes, performers and high-profile leaders to help them regulate pressure, trust themselves again and perform at their best when the spotlight is on. In this episode, they talk about losing yourself while chasing success, the pressure entrepreneurs quietly carry, and why learning to stabilise your nervous system might be the missing piece between talent and true performance.Key Takeaways:Trust yourself firstSo many entrepreneurs lose momentum when they start outsourcing their authority to other people’s opinions. Reconnecting with your own instincts may be the turning point that helps you reclaim your voice and direction.Pressure isn’t about confidenceWhat most people call a confidence problem is actually a pressure problem. Learning how your nervous system holds and processes pressure can completely change how you perform in high-stakes moments.You can lose yourself chasing successEven when you build your own business, it’s easy to start conforming to industry rules that don’t feel right. Emma opens up about how trying to ‘do it the right way’ left her disconnected from who she really was.The moment after success matters mostThere’s plenty of support for preparing for big moments, but very little for what happens afterwards. Emma explains how the emotional comedown after a big win or performance can be just as important to navigate as the moment itself.Your desires are evidenceIf a dream keeps coming back to you, it’s not random. Emma believes those desires are signals from your future self - proof that you’re capable of achieving far more than you currently believe.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Emma on Instagram @Emmagibbsng and listen to more on her Podcast ‘Confessions of an Unapologetic Rebel’ here.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Emma Gaskin, an award-winning speaking coach, founder of The Speaking Hub and creator of the SPEAK UP Method. From rebuilding stroke patients’ speech in the National Health Service to rebuilding her own confidence after years of misdiagnosis and burnout, Emma shares the journey that led her to help women stop playing small and start getting paid to speak. Together, Katy and Emma unpack the stories we carry about being ‘too much,’ the fear of judgment, why women are still expected to speak for free, and how to turn your voice into your most magnetic business asset.Key Takeaways:Your voice is more than sound - it’s identityThe way you speak is shaped by your past, your beliefs and the stories you’ve internalised over time. When you begin to question those narratives, you create space to speak with more confidence, clarity and authority.Staying quiet and playing small comes at a costStaying quiet to keep the peace or shrinking yourself to fit into rooms will eventually catch up with you. Choosing yourself, even when it feels uncomfortable, is often the beginning of real growth.Stop over-proving, start owningOverdelivering and overexplaining can be a sign you’re trying to prove your worth. True confidence comes when you trust your value and allow your work to stand without constant justification.Exposure isn’t payment, but strategy mattersNot every opportunity needs to be paid, but every opportunity should be intentional. When you align your visibility with your long-term goals, you stop chasing exposure and start building influence.You don’t have to be the loudest to move the roomPowerful speaking isn’t about perfection or personality type. When you lean into your natural style and let your individuality shine, your message lands far more deeply.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Emma on Instagram @EmmaJGaskin and access her FREE Speaker Kit here. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Charmaine, co-owner of Hertford Studios. They talk about what it really takes to build a brick-and-mortar business from the ground up. Charmaine shares the identity shift, self-doubt and resilience that shaped her journey from being made redundant after 20 years in a role she loved, into stepping fully into business ownership. They also talk about running a company with your husband, navigating teenage motherhood alongside long workdays, and the uncomfortable reality that ‘having it all’ doesn’t quite exist in the way we’re sold.Key Takeaways:Sometimes what feels like a setback is the start of something biggerBeing forced out of something secure can shake your identity and your confidence. But the moments that unsettle you are often the ones that push you to finally define who you are and what you actually want.You can be experienced and still doubt yourselfConfidence doesn’t automatically come with years of experience. Real self-trust is built when you stop looking for approval and start backing your own decisions - even when it feels uncomfortable.Communication is everything in business and relationshipsIf you’re building a business alongside a partner, assumptions will create tension quickly. Open conversations about expectations, strengths, pressure and support are what protect both the company and the relationship.‘Having it all’ probably doesn’t look the way you imaginedThere is no perfect balance where everything runs smoothly all the time. Instead of chasing an ideal, focus on what matters most in this season of your life and give yourself permission to adjust as things evolve.Not everyone will understand your next move - do it anywayWhen you make bold decisions, some people will question them. Your job isn’t to convince everyone else; it’s to stay connected to your own vision and have the courage to follow it.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Charmaine on Instagram @hertfordstudiosThank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with intuitive business mentor Maria for a conversation about manifestation, intuition, and what it really takes to build a business on your own terms. From discovering The Secret during a low point in her life, to leaving a 13-year teaching career, Maria shares how mindset, emotional awareness and energetic alignment have shaped her journey into entrepreneurship. They unpack the science behind intuition, the realities of financial security when quitting a 9-5, the comparison traps of the online space, and why success has to be defined by freedom and authenticity instead of buying into the noise of the online business world.Key Takeaways:Manifestation is more than just wishing.Manifestation starts with awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and actions, not just repeating affirmations. Maria shares how shifting her mindset helped her attract her husband and later gave her the clarity to start her business.Intuition is backed by science.Intuition isn’t just a ‘gut feeling’ - it’s your electromagnetic field interacting with the world around you. By understanding how your energy, emotions, and beliefs broadcast outward, you can make more informed, aligned decisions in business and life.Your mindset and energy shape business outcomes.The way you perceive yourself and your business impacts what you attract and achieve. Small, subconscious patterns (like talking down your business) can limit growth if left unchecked.Taking calculated risks matters.Leaving a secure job requires both courage and preparation. Help yourself out by getting ahead on financial planning, building support systems, and creating realistic expectations when transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship.Consistency and clarity is more important that comparisonPivoting too often or listening to outside opinions can stall business growth. Trusting yourself, being consistent in your messaging, and fully embracing your unique approach is key to sustainable success.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Maria on Instagram @maria_intuitivequeens and access her ‘Money Codes Masterclass’ for FREE here.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to Sam Binks, a coach and part-time social worker, about her journey from burnout to building a business that allows women to expand their capacity and receive more without doing more. We dive into the realities of juggling a demanding 9-to-5 with a passion project, navigating emotional overwhelm, pivoting in business, and learning to truly hold space for yourself, all whilst building your dream life. This episode is all about slowing down, resetting and designing your own ‘five star’ life, as Sam calls it.Key Takeaways:Burnout doesn’t discriminate.Even if you’re passionate about your work, constant over-giving and emotional strain can lead to burnout. Recognising the signs early can save your health and your dreams.Your past shapes your patterns.Childhood and past experiences influence how we hold ourselves and overextend. Awareness is the first step to reclaiming your energy and capacity.Pivoting is growth, not failure.Shifting direction in your business or life doesn’t mean you’ve failed - it’s part of evolving. Each redirection reveals more of who you are and what truly aligns with your purpose.Holding more means doing less.Real expansion comes when you learn to slow down and enjoy your achievements. Success feels better when your body, mind, and environment are ready to receive it.You’re the biggest barrier to your own success:Self-doubt, people-pleasing, and waiting for the “perfect time” often hold you back. Acting beyond your daily emotions is where real growth starts.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Sam on Instagram @iam_samanthabinkscoachingThank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Nic, founder of Redefined alongside being a practising lawyer who’s also a confidence and life coach. They talk about being single in your 30s, navigating career pivots, and embracing a child-free life without shame or justification. This conversation is about rejecting the ‘one right path’, learning to trust your intuition, and giving yourself permission to build a life that actually feels good, even if it doesn’t look like everyone else’s.Key Takeaways:You don’t have to burn it all down.Fulfilment doesn’t have to come from an all-or-nothing leap. Sometimes the most aligned path is one that allows space for both security and passion.Being single in your 30s isn’t a failure.It’s time to reframe singleness as a powerful space for self-trust, clarity, and intentional living - not something to ‘fix.’Confidence comes from listening inward.True confidence isn’t about being loud or visible; it’s about knowing what you need and honouring it. Tuning into your intuition can guide decisions in relationships, careers, and life choices.You’re allowed to want something different.From choosing single motherhood to embracing a child-free life, it’s time for women to question what they actually want, not what they’ve been told to want. There is no universal definition of success or happiness.You don’t need to be loud to be powerful.Trying to fit a mold will attract the wrong people. When you show up as yourself, you naturally call in the relationships, clients, and opportunities that align.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Nic on Instagram @coachingwithnicThank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Jade Elana, the keeper of The Soul Salon and a spiritual guide helping women step fully into their truth. We explore her incredible journey from hairdresser to guiding women through deep healing, feminine embodiment, and soul-led leadership. Jade shares the raw, transformational moments that shaped her work, including the challenges of motherhood, surrendering control, and finding freedom in presence. If you’re craving depth, clarity, and a new way to lead in both life and business, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired, aligned, and ready to reclaim your power.Key Takeaways:Transformation starts from within.Before any changes show up in your life or business, true transformation begins with reconnecting to your heart, body, and inner truth. When you align with yourself first, everything else naturally falls into place.Surrender unlocks your power.Real strength comes from releasing control and letting life guide you, even through uncertainty or fear. When you stop resisting, you create space for clarity, presence, and soulful growth.Your body holds the answers.Every emotion, memory, and insight is stored within your body, waiting to be felt and understood. Tuning in to your physical and emotional signals helps you make choices that support your authentic life.Depth over distraction.Surface-level fixes can never give lasting fulfillment. Real change comes from diving into your truth and embracing all parts of yourself. The deeper you go, the more empowered and whole you become.Lead yourself first.Self-mastery begins with becoming the witness, healer, and guide of your own life. When you take ownership of your energy and choices, everything else (relationships, work, and impact) flows with ease.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Jade on Instagram @_thesoulsalon_ and read Jade’s Substack ‘There She Writes’ here. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Selen, a London-based Holistic Nutrition and Wellness Coach, to talk about her journey from corporate engineer to multi–seven figure wellness entrepreneur. What began as Selen’s personal struggle with gut health, restrictive dieting, and burnout became a globally impactful method that has now helped over 12,000 women sustainably heal their bodies and relationship with food. Together, they explore how Selen scaled a wildly successful membership with an incredibly small team, why perfectionism is one of the biggest growth blockers for women in business, and how trusting your own definition of success can change everything. Key Takeaways:Healing first changes everything.Selen’s transformation didn’t begin with weight loss - it began with prioritising gut health and nourishment over punishment. When the body feels safe and supported, sustainable results follow naturally.Sustainability beats restriction - in food and in businessExtreme dieting and overworking may create short-term results, but they always lead to burnout. Long-term success comes from systems, rhythms, and choices that support your actual life.You don’t need a big team to build a big business.Selen scaled to multi-seven figures with just one full-time team member by focusing on leverage, automation, and a membership model. Growth doesn’t require complexity, it requires clarity.Perfectionism delays momentum.Selen launched her membership before it was ‘ready’ and refined it as she went. Progress comes from moving fast, not waiting until everything feels flawless.Be selective about whose advice you listen to.Not all opinions are equal, especially if they come from people living lives you don’t want. Only take guidance from those whose reality you genuinely aspire to create.If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Selen on Instagram @selencoaching, download her Free Ultimate Guide to the Alka-Terranean Method™️ here, or try her 10-Day Alka-Terranean Reset here and get 20% off at checkout using the code KATY20.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Sian, a mindset and breathwork coach, new mum, and now children’s book author, for a deeply honest conversation about identity, burnout, and the reality of navigating motherhood alongside entrepreneurship. Sian shares her journey from running a successful coaching business to making the decision to pause, and prioritise her nervous system, mental health, and family after experiencing postpartum anxiety. Together, they unpack the pressure of comparison, the myth of “having it all,” and why stepping back isn’t failure - it’s self-leadership. Key Takeaways:Your identity is not defined by one role.Whether it’s as an entrepreneur, mother, or coach. Sian’s story shows that it’s possible (and healthy) to reshape your life when your priorities change without feeling like you’ve failed.Burnout teaches you what mindset work alone cannot.Mindset tools like confidence and resilience are powerful, but if your nervous system is overloaded, it will eventually force a pause, whether you planned it or not.Comparison is a thief of joy (especially on social media).When you measure your reality against others’ curated feeds, you lose sight of your own pace, your own season, and what actually lights you up.Stepping back can be the most forward-moving decision you make.Choosing what feels aligned - like creative work or part-time roles that support life and family - is not quitting, it’s strategic self-leadership.Seeking help for postpartum stress or anxiety is strength, not shame.Sian’s honesty about her struggle and reaching out to support shows that asking for help is a courageous and transformative step.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Sian on Instagram - @sianlangellier_coaching and listen to her free 10 minute meditation here.Download The Identity Shake-Up Audio for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Jay from Aligned Woman, to unpack the real story behind her transformation - not just physically, but emotionally, mentally, and identity-wise. From childhood trauma and feeling like an outsider, to a high-level dance career, motherhood, loss, burnout, and rebuilding from rock bottom. This conversation goes far beyond weight loss, exposing the invisible layers of self-neglect, identity loss, confidence erosion, and the moment many women hit in their late 30s and 40s where “coping” is no longer enough. It’s a reminder that transformation doesn’t start with food or fitness - it starts with who you decide to be.Key Takeaways:Weight loss is never just about weight.The physical change is a byproduct of deeper work - identity, confidence, boundaries, and self-trust are what actually create lasting results.Motherhood and success can quietly erase your identity if you let them.Many women don’t realise they’ve disappeared until they no longer recognise themselves, and that moment is pivotal, not shameful.Being ‘busy’ is often code for self-neglect.Life doesn’t get quieter before you prioritise yourself. You have to choose yourself inside the chaos.Your darkest chapter can become your most powerful work.Real credibility doesn’t come from certifications alone, it comes from lived experience, resilience, and truth.Alignment matters more than strategy.When who you are no longer matches how you show up, something will eventually break in your body, your business, or both.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Jay on Instagram - @juliakundi_Download The Identity Shake-Up Audio for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy chats to sales and business mentor Jenna O’Keefe about what it really takes to build a wildly successful business as a woman - without burning yourself into the ground or playing small to make other people comfortable. They talk about leaving corporate burnout, finding the courage to back yourself, failing fast (and often), pricing boldly, and why confidence, identity, and environment matter more than any strategy ever will. Key Takeaways:Confidence is not a personality trait - it’s a skill you buildConfidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you create through action, self-trust, and repetition. Every brave decision compounds, and the more you back yourself, the more unshakeable you become.You cannot innovate if you’re terrified of failingFailure isn’t a personal flaw - it’s data. The women who grow the fastest are the ones willing to test, flop, learn, and move again without making it mean something about their worth.Your environment determines your expansionPutting yourself in rooms that stretch you changes how you see what’s possible. When you upgrade your surroundings, your standards rise automatically - and so do your decisions.Strategy won’t save you if your identity isn’t solidYou can have the best plan in the world, but if you don’t believe you’re worthy of success, you’ll sabotage it. Identity work is the foundation - strategy only works when it’s built on self-belief.High standards are not ‘too much’, they’re leadershipBeing intentional with your energy, time, and boundaries isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. The way you treat yourself sets the ceiling for your business and the people around you.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Jenna on Instagram - @jennaokeefe.coAccess Jenna’s free Crickets to Cash training here and learn how to turn your content into predictable sales. Download The Identity Shake-Up Audio for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy gets honest about how busy, beautiful growth can sometimes come at a cost if we stop focusing on the foundations that got us here. Instead of creating a vision board, Katy shares why she’s choosing to audit her life and habits as she moves into 2026 - looking at what’s slipped, what no longer fits, and what needs tightening up. From food and movement to daily habits, getting into the right rooms, and spending more quality time with friends and family. This is a reminder that success isn’t just about strategy, but also about seeing the woman you’re becoming, and the woman you are being now. Key Takeaways:Growth without grounding eventually feels heavy.Even the most beautiful success can feel draining if you stop prioritising the habits that support your body, mind, and nervous system.Your health is not separate from your business performance.Food, movement, and regulated energy directly affect how you show up, make decisions, and lead - especially as your responsibilities grow.Old habits don’t always support new levels.As you evolve, your routines and structures need to evolve too, otherwise things start to feel chaotic instead of expansive.Being in the right rooms changes everything.Surrounding yourself with people who expand you, challenge you, and inspire you is essential for sustainable growth and leadership.Success means nothing if you don’t have time for the people you love.True fulfilment comes from balance - being expanded and grounded, ambitious and deeply connected.Ready to shake up your life and business?

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy gets real about her journey from doing business the hard way, the way she thought she should, to leaning in deeply with feminine energy, intuition, and emotional intelligence as her true business strategy. Katy shares how trying to balance motherhood and entrepreneurship by pushing harder only led to burnout, and how shifting to a more soulful, intuitive way of working has brought her more fulfillment, impact, ease, and joy than ever before. Key Takeaways:Doing business the ‘traditional’ way doesn’t work for everyone.Following rigid structures and constant productivity can disconnect you from what truly feels aligned. Sustainable success comes from building a business that works with your life, not against it.Intuition is a valid and powerful business tool.When you allow yourself to trust your inner knowing, decisions become clearer and easier. Leading from intuition creates momentum without burnout.Emotional intelligence strengthens leadership.Empathy, understanding, and presence build deeper trust within teams and client relationships. When people feel seen and valued, loyalty naturally follows.Working less can actually create more impact.When your energy is focused and aligned, productivity improves without force. It’s not about doing more - it’s about doing what truly matters.Your feminine energy is not a weakness - it’s an advantage.Your sensitivity, intuition, and ability to connect are what make your business magnetic. When you honour these qualities, your business grows in a way that feels authentic and sustainable.Ready to shake up your life and business?

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is talking all about the quiet, uncomfortable truth of personal growth: when you choose yourself, you will outgrow people. She unpacks why levelling up often leads to losing friends, shifting identities, and feeling misunderstood, even when you’re finally doing what’s right for you. Katy explains how people-pleasing, fear of judgment, and nervous system safety can sabotage your next level if left unchecked. This episode is a reminder that the grief, the loneliness, and the empty space are not signs you’re failing - they’re proof that you’re evolving.Key Takeaways:Growth will cost you relationships - and that’s not a failure.When you change, not everyone can come with you, and that can feel painful and confusing. But outgrowing people is often a sign that you are finally honouring your true self.People-pleasing will keep you stuck in an old identity.You cannot evolve while trying to make everyone else comfortable. Letting go of being the fixer, the perfect friend, and the emotional caretaker is part of stepping into your next level.Your nervous system will resist change before it supports it.Self-doubt, fear, and sabotage show up when your system perceives growth as unsafe. Awareness is the first step in choosing expansion anyway.You need to be in rooms with people who speak your language.If you only surround yourself with people who celebrate the destination, not the journey, it will feel lonely. Community with like-minded people is not optional; it’s essential.Empty space is not loss - it’s preparation.When people leave, they create energetic and emotional room for new opportunities, aligned relationships, and bigger visions. Learning to trust the space is part of trusting yourself.Ready to shake up your life and business?

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Identity Coach and Frequency Mentor Chloe-Anne Collins, to get real and raw about what entrepreneurship really looks like behind the scenes. From postnatal depression, sleepless nights and self-doubt to building a coaching business alongside corporate life, Chloe shares the raw truth about becoming ‘the woman who can.’ This is a conversation about identity shifts, investing in yourself before you feel ready, navigating unsupportive environments, managing mum guilt, and learning how to regulate your energy so you can grow a business that actually supports your life, not drains it.Key Takeaways:You become the woman who can before the results show upChloe’s journey proves that identity always changes before income, confidence before clarity, and belief before proof.The hardest seasons don’t mean you’re failing - they mean you’re growingBusiness feels heavy because you’re constantly doing things you’ve never done before, not because you’re incapable.Your environment either expands you or contracts youGetting into rooms with people who think bigger than you will collapse years of self-doubt into moments of belief. Don’t underestimate the power of the environment you’re in and the people who surround you. You will outgrow people - and that’s not a failure.Not everyone is meant to come on the full journey, and learning to release without guilt is part of becoming unshakable.Energy is your real business strategy.How you fuel your body, manage your mindset, and protect your environment directly determines how powerfully you show up.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Chloe on Instagram - @themotivationmumDownload The Identity Shake-Up for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy talks about one of the most underrated ways to level up in business - getting out of your own bubble and into the right rooms. Whether it’s events or retreats, the people you surround yourself with can transform your mindset, your confidence, and your business growth. Katy shares her own experiences attending retreats in Italy, Mykonos, and beyond, and why the right environment can stretch you, challenge you, and expand your next-level self in ways strategy alone can’t. Key Takeaways:Step out of your bubble to grow your business and mindsetIf you only ever stay in your own world, growth is limited. Being around like-minded women who are walking the same path gives perspective, new ideas, and the motivation to step into the next version of yourself.Events and retreats serve very different purposes - both are essentialEvents are great for networking and visibility, but retreats push you deeper - out of your comfort zone, into personal growth, and into a mindset that allows you to scale with confidence.Comfort zones don’t create breakthroughsFeeling a little out of place or overwhelmed? That’s exactly where transformation lives. True expansion happens when you stretch yourself intentionally.Intentional investment beats casual attendance every timeDon’t just pick an event for the villa, the destination, or who else is going. Focus on what the experience will give your mindset, your business, and your personal growth.Personal growth drives business successThe confidence, clarity, and self-belief you gain from the right events and retreats translates directly into how you show up in your business - and how far you can scale.Download The Identity Shake-Up for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy’s going deep into one of the hardest patterns to break in business - operating from survival mode. That constant rush of doing, fixing, and firefighting that feels productive… until it doesn’t. Katy shares her own story of building a thriving business while running on empty, and how she learned that you can’t scale chaos. This episode is your reminder that growth only happens when your body, mind, and business feel safe enough to expand.Key Takeaways:You can’t build your next level from a place of panic.If you’re always reacting instead of leading, you’re just recreating chaos. Real expansion only happens when you create space to think, breathe, and choose your moves intentionally.Being constantly busy is often just avoidance in disguise.When you fill every gap in your day with tasks, it’s usually because slowing down feels unsafe. But quiet is where the real growth happens.Your body always knows before your brain catches up.If you’re tired, irritable, or running on coffee and adrenaline - that’s not ambition, that’s your body waving the red flag. Safety and stability are your real superpowers.You might be hitting goals but still missing peace.If you can’t hold what you’ve built without it draining you, you’re not growing, you’re coping. Learn to expand your capacity, not just your to-do list.Your wellbeing isn’t a ‘nice to have’ - it’s your business strategy.The more you take care of your energy, boundaries, and headspace, the stronger and more sustainable your business becomes.Download The Identity Shake-Up for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy’s opening up about something every ambitious woman hits at some point - the identity crisis that comes with success. We talk so much about growth and next levels, but no one really prepares you for what it means to become the woman who can hold it. Katy shares how the version of her that built her first success couldn’t carry her to my next one, what it took to let go of control (as a mum, as a CEO, and as a recovering perfectionist), and why business coaching started to feel too “safe.” This conversation is for the women who feel stuck - not because they’re failing, but because they’re still trying to succeed as their old self.Key Takeaways:Success isn’t about strategy, it’s about who you’re becomingYou can have all the plans, templates, and systems in the world, but if your identity isn’t growing with you, you’ll keep hitting the same ceiling. Real growth starts when you decide to evolve, not just execute.Your next level needs a new version of youThe version of you who got here can’t take you there. Leveling up means letting go of old habits, old stories, and the “safe” ways of doing things that don’t fit where you’re heading.The fear of being seen is what keeps so many of us smallStepping into more visibility can feel terrifying. You’ll worry about what people will think, but that discomfort is usually just your growth showing up in real time.Letting go of control is the real test of growthWhether it’s delegating in your business or asking for help at home, giving up control feels hard - especially for women who are used to doing it all. But you can’t reach your next level with both hands full.Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re not ready - it means you’re expandingThat voice saying “who am I to do this?” isn’t a red flag, it’s a sign you’re stretching into new territory. The work is to notice it, name it, and keep going anyway.Download The Identity Shake-Up for free here - a 5-minute energetic reset for the woman who’s outgrown who she used to be. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Lyndzee from Lyndzee’s Lymphatics, a passionate lymphatic drainage specialist and incredible entrepreneur. They dive into Lyndzee’s journey of building her business from a dream to a thriving reality, the doubts and fears she faced along the way, and how having the right support can transform your vision into action. This is an intimate, real conversation for anyone curious about starting their own business, or just needing a little reminder that yes, you can do it.Key Takeaways:Surround yourself with people who believe in your dream tooSometimes all it takes is someone to see your potential before you do. Surround yourself with cheerleaders who push you toward your dream - it’s the fuel that turns a dream into a plan.Fear and doubt are normal, don’t let them stop youEven when you’re ready, fear will creep in, and that’s okay. Growth lives on the other side of fear, and embracing it helps you build resilience.Entrepreneurship isn’t a solo journeyLyndzee’s success shows the power of a strong network of friends, family, and mentors who help turn overwhelming tasks into achievable milestones.Boundaries protect energyRunning a business doesn’t stop at 5 pm. Setting clear boundaries for yourself and your family is essential to protect your energy and prevent burnout.Remember to celebrate every victory, even the small onesNo win is too small. Launching your business, getting your first client, or even just believing in yourself… These moments matter and build momentum for the next chapter.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy talks about the untold cost of being both an entrepreneur and a mum. Beyond the usual ‘mum guilt’, she unpacks the deeper ache that comes with missing the moments that truly matter. Katy opens up about how business can sometimes feel easier and safer than motherhood, why we fall into comparing the two, and how that comparison quietly eats away at our confidence and joy. She shares how learning to honour both - the grounded feminine energy of motherhood and the powerful drive of entrepreneurship - allowed her to finally find balance, peace, and a new kind of freedom.Key Takeaways:Mum guilt runs deeper than missed events.It’s not just about skipping the school play or missing a bedtime - it’s the loss of connection and presence we crave but can’t always give. Recognising that truth helps lift the shame and brings compassion back into the equation.Sometimes business feels safer than motherhood - and that’s okay to admit.In business, there are systems, strategies, and results we can control. Motherhood, on the other hand, is unpredictable, raw, and vulnerable, and that lack of control can feel terrifying.Stop comparing your business to your motherhood.They’re not competing; they’re completely different energies. When you stop holding yourself to the same standard in both, you make space for grace.Both can coexist beautifully,  just not in equal measure all the time.There will be periods where your business needs you more, and others where your family does. Stop chasing ‘balance’ and start honouring the period you’re in.Motherhood grounds you; business empowers you.One gives you perspective, the other gives you possibility. When you allow both energies to flow together, you become unstoppable - soft and strong, grounded and powerful.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakable Talks, Katy gets real about burnout - what it truly looks like, how it sneaks up on high-achieving women, and why so many of us don’t see it coming until our bodies force us to stop. She shares her personal story of hitting burnout twice, despite “having it all together” on the outside, and how she finally turned everything around by learning to put herself first. Key Takeaways:Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse.For many high-achieving women, it hides behind productivity, perfectionism, and performance. Just because you’re functioning doesn’t mean you’re fine.Multitasking isn’t a superpower, it’s a coping mechanism.We’ve been conditioned to believe we can do it all, but that belief often comes at the cost of our health and peace. True strength lies in slowing down, not speeding up.Your body will always send the bill.Katy’s story proves that when you ignore the signs of stress, your body will eventually step in and make you listen. Don’t wait for the crash to give yourself permission to rest.Putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s survival.The real shift happens when you stop trying to serve everyone else and start honoring what you need. When you do that, everything (your business, relationships, and wellbeing) gets stronger.Becoming unshakable starts with boundaries.Forget the endless mindset hacks and business blueprints - nothing works if you’re running on empty. When you protect your peace and energy, success naturally follows.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

In this episode of Unshakable Talks, Katy opens up about one of the most defining seasons of her life - the time Covid completely shifted her perspective on success and freedom. She shares how a personal family tragedy and the forced pause of lockdown made her realise that freedom was never about the number in her bank account. Freedom was about choice, alignment, and presence. Katy reveals how she went from chasing revenue to choosing herself, her health, and her family, and how that choice led her to a life and business that truly feel free.Key Takeaways:Freedom isn’t money, it’s choice.True freedom isn’t about the size of your income; it’s about the ability to choose what aligns with your values, energy, and priorities. When you give yourself permission to redefine freedom, everything starts to shift.Success means nothing if you’re disconnected from yourself.Chasing goals and numbers can easily become a form of escape. Real success starts when you slow down enough to ask, “Is this actually what I want?”Your definition of freedom will evolve.The vision that once drove you might not fit the season you’re in now. Growth means allowing your goals and values to change as you do.Stillness brings clarity.The forced pause of lockdown gave Katy the space to reconnect, heal, and see what truly mattered. Sometimes the universe hits the brakes for you,  not to punish you, but to help you realign.Clarity is the real strategy.Before you look for another business plan or new idea, ask yourself what freedom really means to you right now. When you find that clarity, the strategy becomes simple, because you’re finally moving from truth, not pressure.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

You can watch this episode on YouTube here.In this episode of Unshakable Talks, Katy sits down with Remi, a brand strategist, creative director, and founder of Disrupt, to explore the journey from uncertainty to bold, creative business ownership. They dive into the highs and lows of building a brand, the bravery required to step outside the lines, and how to stay true to your vision while navigating doubt, criticism, and the noise of the online world. Remi shares her personal story and breaks down how creativity, authenticity, and courage drive real impact.Key Takeaways:Your uniqueness is your superpower.Take the time to really uncover what makes you different from everyone else in your space. When you lean into your strengths and individuality, your brand becomes impossible to copy.Bravery beats blueprint.You don’t need a perfect system, a flawless launch, or a million followers to make an impact. Taking bold action, showing up consistently, and trusting yourself is what separates dreamers from doers.Creativity thrives outside the lines.Give yourself permission to break rules, experiment, and let your personal vision guide your brand. The more you allow your personal vision to guide your brand, the more original and disruptive your work becomes.Your brand is a mirror of you.The more authentic and embodied you are, the easier it is for others to connect with your story and values. When your audience sees your truth, they feel empowered to step into their own identity through your brand.Let go of external validation. Not everyone will understand, like, or support your journey, and that’s okay. Protect your energy, trust your process, and focus on building relationships with the people who genuinely get you and your vision.If you enjoyed this episode - you can connect with Remi on Instagram here. Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

You can watch this episode on YouTube here.In this episode of Unshakable Talks, Katy dives into the often hidden realities of collaboration in the business world. She explores the difference between genuine support and transactional relationships, calling out hidden jealousy, online competition, and opportunistic behavior that can chip away at confidence. Katy shares her own experiences, from being pitched constantly to seeing “women supporting women” turn into opportunistic moves, and reframes what true collaboration looks like: authentic connection, trust, and mutual support without hidden motives.Key Takeaways:True collaboration is rooted in support, not self-interest.Collaboration should lift both of you up, not serve as a shortcut to use someone else’s success. Hidden motives turn partnerships into competition, not connection.Transactional relationships are not collaboration.Asking for free advice, exposure, or favors without giving anything back crosses the line. Real collaboration respects each person’s time, skills, and expertise.Online envy can sabotage connections.Social media can make women unconsciously compare, compete, or pull back from genuine support. Recognise when hidden jealousy is influencing your actions and pause.Boundaries matter.It’s okay to check in, show interest, and support someone without always pitching or expecting something in return. Healthy collaboration thrives on clear boundaries and respect.Confidence grows through genuine connection.Supporting others authentically - liking a post, sharing work, recommending services - builds trust and strengthens community. When women genuinely support each other, everyone wins.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

From hiring out of desperation to getting too close to employees, Katy breaks down why clarity, quality, and boundaries matter, and how the right team can actually help you bring your vision to life without losing yourself in the process.Key Takeaways:Hire with clarity, not desperation.Before bringing anyone on board, get crystal clear on the role, responsibilities, and impact on your business. Hiring without a plan just creates more work and stress for you.Quality over quantity.One or two highly skilled, well-paid team members are worth more than a large team of low-cost hires. Paying well attracts people who care about doing a great job and staying for the long term.Mindset beats CVs.Don’t get fooled by qualifications on paper. Attitude, dedication, and the willingness to embrace your systems and vision are far more important than degrees or impressive CVs.Keep professional distance.It’s natural to bond with your team, but getting too close can make tough decisions, like addressing performance issues, almost impossible. Boundaries protect your leadership and your business.The right team accelerates growth.When you hire people who complement your skills and respect the vision, it frees you to focus on what you do best. Hiring the right team made this podcast a reality, something that couldn’t have been done alone.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!

You can watch this episode on YouTube here.In this episode of Unshakeable Talks Katy shares her story - arriving in England with a tiny baby and no English, stumbling through early motherhood, and then stepping into entrepreneurship from sheer gut and determination. She tells all about what it really took: figuring things out, making mistakes, feeling lonely, and pushing through when it all felt too much. This is an invitation for you to see how messy it gets, and how you can keep going when your dreams demand everything of you.Key Takeaways: Start before everything feels perfect.Waiting for perfect timing is a trap. The growth happens when you leap into the unknown. Action births confidence, not the other way around.Your history is your foundation.Growing up where work, responsibility, and grit were the norm shaped a resilience most people don’t see. Use what you’ve learned, even the hard parts, to fuel what’s ahead.Never compromise your values for convenience.When a business stops aligning with your values, it’s okay to re-write the blueprint. Your peace and purpose matter more than fitting someone else’s mold.Pivots aren’t failures - they’re redirection.When doors close, that’s often life nudging you toward a higher calling. Trust the detours; sometimes they lead to exactly where you were meant to go.You’re not meant to do this solo.The loneliness of entrepreneurship is real, especially for women wearing all the hats. The Unshakable Talks podcast began to build a space where we can be honest, share, support one another, and find strength together.Thank you so much for listening to this episode of Unshakeable Talks!
