43. Severely bullied, anorexia, depression and now a chronic illness that has forced her out the UK to seek out the perfect climate that will ensure Rachael avoids another round of hospitalisation
At the age of just 14, Rachael suffered with a severe panic attack after a bullying incident that resulted in hypoxia, which then turned into anorexia.This was the start of the spiraling decline in Rachael's physical and mental health. She had reached out for help at 16 but was refused as her BMI wasn't identified as reading low enough... 20 years later, Rachael now lives in a bubble in Gran Canaria after being told that the only remedy to one of her chronic illnesses was a warmer climate. This is a story of pain, of not belonging and of being failed by her very own country when she needed them the most. Rachael has since written two books and advocates for people with mental health issues and chronic illnesses. And against all odds, she was told that she would be in a wheelchair by the age of 30, she's now 34, wait until you hear what her f*ck yes moment is right now. It really did make my heart sing for her. Follow Rachael on Facebook here.Or connect on Instagram here.

41. When your nay-saying voice gets loud, try this...
Over this past week, I've been running a free activation in my free telegram community to really get to know all the different versions of ourselves. The parts of us that want things and the parts of us that don't. Who we show up as when we go about our days, which sides of us different people, different experiences bring out of us. We started to understand when our nay-saying voice is the loudest and what triggers it and what we could do instead. Then today we're getting to the good stuff - what to do when you're retreating, hiding, not moving forward with the things that are going to push your business forward. It's been a powerful week so far and the best is yet to come. Todays episode lets you in on a bit behind the scenes of my life and the challenge as I bring this to you from my morning dog walk - poo bags and all. If you would like to come in and do this for yourself, you are of course, more than welcome. DM me the word 'activation' on Instagram and lets have a chat. Or you can join us here

40. First job at the age of just 13 and stayed for 16 years. 10-12 hours shifts and 6 days a week... now helps women who are exhausted learn how to put themselves first
After years of people pleasing, manipulation and control in her working environment, which naturally spread into personal relationships, Angie knew something had to give. From the age of 13, Angie was working. She worked for a large fish and chip shop, crazy hours. Her Manager would even call her up when she was at school and ask her to come to work because he was short staffed. She always went. The crazy hours led to late night socialising which led to extreme tiredness also led to self sabotaging behaviours, for years she thought this was normal behaviour. Her mum was always a grafter and so she thought this is just what we have to do. This resulted in 25 years of anxiety and depression.In this episode, Angie shares what she has done along her road to recovery and how she now helps other women go from exhausted to empowered. You can find out more about Angie and join her community here: Facebook groupIf you have any questions or would like to talk to me about anything that has come up during the conversation, you can reach me on Instagram, here.Or join my free Telegram community here

38. She gave up all her free time to help her daughter through 11+ but it nearly cost her everything
Dulce Alvarez had a dream to get her daughter into a top school which meant preparing her for the her 11 plus exams. However, after outsourcing the teaching to a tutor, this quickly became evident that it wasn't going to get their daughter the results she needed, so she took the job on herself. But Dulce was already working 12 hour shifts in her high paced career in the financial services and realised that she couldn't have it all when her health started to suffer because of it. She was sacrificing a lot to help her daughter. As a non native English speaker vocabulary was the primary challenge .This lack of native-speaker advantage resulted in gaps in their child's vocabulary, which was highlighted by the tutors, such as not knowing the word "toboggan".This is a real story of how Dulce turned a real pain into her passion. After sacrificing so much to help her daughter, she spotted a huge gap in the market and created her business Lexilume to prevent others ever going through what she had to endure just to give her daughter the best start.

37. Even when you think you're doing everything right... you can still be hiding.
The past 18 months I've felt like I've been failing for many reasons. The online space is noooisy, no matter what industry you're in. If you're a business owner, I can guarantee you've felt that way too in some capacity - questioning what you're doing, your work, your services, your products and it's caused you to hold back. When I look back, I realise that during this period, I found myself hiding again. But this time, behind AI. During this episode I share with you what this really looks like, what was really going on and how this could be showing up for you too. If this brings anything up for you and you'd like to have a chat about it, obviously zero pressure, please head over to my DM's in Instagram they are always open. Have a fabulous long weekend x

36. Her ex employer didn't believe in her, in fact they belittled her and it could have cost her everything but instead she got curious and has now mastered something way more complex
Throughout this very rich and insightful conversation Penelope mentions that she isn't 'at all techy' so if the idea of AI bores you then this conversation is for you. Penelope has a way of making it so simple to understand, so useful and actually really interesting. Her ex employer from years before told her that with no amount of training she would grasp excel and so she avoided it from then on. This nearly made her avoid a coding class because she had this internal belief that she wasn't clever enough to 'get it' but she turned up anyway and it changed everything. Penelope has had a very interesting life wearing many different hats from the various different job rolls for various types of employers over the years. And she thinks that her inability to stay in a roll for more than 2 years at a time is possibly due to her having autism, ADHD, and dyspraxia but also the very reason as to why she can easily visualise the structure behind AI, seeing patterns, breaking things down and reassembling them into a useable system - a very interesting and useful skill to have. We talk about everything from reading Carrie Green's book She Means Business to her kids at bedtime when they were little and now how her eldest is away at uni still listening to it when she goes to bed. How she uses AI to decode her dreams and helps her daughter translate her uni lectures that are delivered in french to help her get the most from them whilst she picks up the language, to being looked down upon when she told a branding professional that if she used pink she wouldn't be taken seriously... We all know that's not true! If AI is something that worries you, bores you, or even interests you, you'll love Penelope's story.

35. The energy behind why you're still hiding your business
In this episode, I’m unpacking why you might not be getting what you want in your business, and why it may have far less to do with strategy than you think.If you were bullied, judged or made to feel like you were too much when you were younger, there’s a good chance that part of you is still quietly running the show now.That shows up in your business as over-editing, second-guessing, undercharging, hiding your personality, playing “professional”, and holding yourself back from being fully seen.We’re talking about behavioural energy, the energy sitting underneath how you show up, what you say, what you don’t say, and why your dream clients can’t connect with the version of you that’s still protecting herself.This episode is for the woman who knows she’s made for more, but can feel herself dampening down who she is out of fear of judgement, rejection, or no longer belonging.Because the truth is, the life, business and money you want require a different energy. Not louder. Not more perfect. Just more honest. More expressed. More you.Find me on Instagram herewww.instagram.com/iamBexHogan

In 2009, during the economic crash, Danielle lost her businesses. She then fought the bank for 7 years to keep her home but ended up losing it and declaring bankruptcy in 2016 which led to divorce, isolation and Danielle hitting rock bottom. At this point, Danielle realised she'd been living from the neck up for the past 18 years, repressing emotions, childhood abandonment and rejection. When she lost her businesses, she described feeling profound shame because she felt that the mask of being a confident business women had been ripped away, exposing a 'little lost girl' who felt unlovable and worthless. Danielle then shares with us what steps she took to turn her life around and the 4 books that the universe presented to her in the right order at the right time, and the lessons she took from each of them. This is an extremely insightful conversation, a conversation that goes deep into the science of how and why we can change when we put the effort in.

33. Why ambitious women who were bullied still play small...
In the last episode I talked to Racheal Butler as she made her very ballsy move, whilst pregnant, from her fast life in London to the peaceful mountains in Gran Canaria. We discussed how, when we become mothers, we lose a sense of who we are and often have to find ourselves again. She used the Selkie Myth as a great analogy.This analogy made me think about how this translates into bullying and what it does to us. The transformation though, often doesn't come until later in life. When we are treated so badly at such a young, impressionable age, we build a protective layer around us - the selkie skin. But it's only when we free our minds of the hurt and criticism that's ingrained so deeply into us that we get to shed that layer. This is what this episode is about. The signs to recognise. How to spot if it's still having an impact on you and what you can do about it. Thank you so much for listening.I'd love to know what you think about this episode. Please leave a comment and let me know, or DM me over on Instagram so we can have a chat.

32. Rachael finally stopped living the life she thought she 'should' want, and followed her dream to move to the mountains but ended up losing herself in the process...
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by creative arts therapist Rachael Butler for a powerful conversation about courage, identity, motherhood, and what it really takes to create a life that feels true to you.Rachael shares how she and her husband left behind their busy London lives, moved to Gran Canaria when Rachael was pregnant with their first child, and followed a dream that made no sense to almost everyone around them.But it wasn't as smooth as they'd hoped. Covid arrived just 8 months later and threw a huge spanner in the works. We talk about the loneliness of big change, the loss of identity that can come with motherhood, the messy middle no one talks about, and the resilience it takes to keep going when the life you want feels far away.We also explore Rachael’s work as a creative arts therapist, and how she now supports women through identity shifts, emotional healing, and life transitions in a way that feels accessible, creative, and deeply supportive.If you’ve been craving more from life but struggling to believe it’s possible for you, this episode will speak straight to your heart.You can find out more about Rachael here: WebsiteTikTokAnd if you would like to know more about what I do and how I can help you, please feel free to message me on Instragram

31. There's no point in trying to change things, it won't work.... if you think this, this ep is for you!
Bad things always happen to me, that's what I told myself for years. I deserve it, was something I heard myself say a lot. This was during and for years after, 6 years of bullying during my school years. And the continued emotional abuse that I received from my earlier boyfriends, for 3 years, then a further 2.5 years - yes, I always attracted those who felt they could walk all over me. Because my self-worth was low, if there was anything left at all. If you've ever found yourself thinking that things always happen to you this episode is for you. I'm also sharing a bit about why I'm finally going all in on who I help and my greater mission because it's been bubbling away in the background but the 'industry' led me to believe that it wasn't possible. I'm finally ready to go all in. Watch this space! This movement is happening, just you wait! To help you get the clarity you need on what's truly possible for you and your business, start with your Perfect Day exercise here. This is your chance to dream big, regardless of what's happened in the past. We're here for the future and for you to finally step into your power 💥And to get in touch, or ask any questions you might have, please feel free to DM me at www.instagram.com/IamBexHogan

Laura Farkas has faced many challenges over the years. From moving to the UK with a husband who refused to speak the language, starting from the bottom of the career ladder because the UK wanted to charge her a crazy sum of money to transfer her degree, to fully losing her eyesight which turned her world upside down. During this conversation we touched on many things: - what life looked like when her and her family moved to the UK- getting made redundant in her banking role and riding out the recession- securing her husband work, even though he didn't speak a world of English - setting up alone and all the different strands of growth - AI - the gap in the market that blew up her business - and finally, what life looked like when she suddenly lost her eyesight in November 2024 and how she navigated those hard times. This conversations shows pure determination, resilience and the true meaning of what a Ferrari brain really looks like. A short bio: Laura Farkas is a revenue systems architect and the author of Paternoster Marketing. With a 'Ferrari brain' and a strict no-fluff policy, she designs revenue infrastructure for B2B companies so they never have to worry about where their next client is coming from.

29. Reconnect to what you truly want and step into your future self with this powerful visualisation
We're all very good at telling ourselves and others what we don't want. How we don't want to feel. What we no longer want to tolerate. But some women find it hard to either know, articulate or even admit to what they do want because of subconscious fears that are running under the surface. In this short episode we're going to look at that for you. I will help you to reconnect with who you are and what you want, then I will guide you through a powerful visualisation to help you step into the version of you 6 months from now. A visualisation that you can listen to time and time again to help you bring her into your reality. Because when you can tune into how you want to feel and consistently visualise the life you want, it's 100% more likely to come true - because you will MAKE IT HAPPEN! Join me on Monday the 9th of March for my free 60 minute training where I will help you understand what's getting in your way of closing the gap between intention and action.

26. Self employed earning 6 figures a year cost Naomi more than just time away from her family...
From taking the plunge to go all in on her own after the birth of her first child, Naomi's business quickly took off. She landed herself, on paper, a dreamy new client that saw her making a lot of money for herself and her young family but it came with a cost. Although she was still very much self employed, she found herself tied to this super fast growing client with no way out. It took courage, and returning to all the things that truly mattered to her to make the difficult decision to walk away and start again. Naomi is now back, building her business from the ground up, but this time with a twist. With everything she has learnt along the way, Naomi now helps other business owners get really comfortable with their figures so they can use them to create a business that works for them - alongside making sure everything ticks all the legal boxes as far as the government are concerned. This conversation was like a chat with an old friend. It was such a refreshing conversation and I think we both learnt so much. A short bio: Naomi is an accountant & business advisor for small businesses and founder of Drift Accounting. She gives small business owners the tools to run better businesses and feel confident about their numbers and tax. When not working you will find her listening to Taylor Swift and reading as many romantasy books as possible...Go and give Naomi a follow over on Instagram, or LinkedIn and be sure to sign up to her fabulous free newsletter - The Small Business Owners Club - where she shares tips and tricks for more confidence and more empowerment when it comes to your numbers.

25. From growing up with a narcissistic father and constantly worried about rocking the boat to a career in dance, bodybuilding and an extremely unhealthy relationship with food. Meet Nikki Antonaccio
TW - Nikki Antonaccio shares her story of what it meant for her to grow up with a narcissistic father and how a small gesture of being given the gift of sweets after school on a Friday for 'being good', created a lifetime of unhealthy habits, constantly questioning her worth and proving herself. This is a story that so many women will probably be able to see parts of themselves in, especially when it comes to diet culture and feelings of worth. Nikki speaks very freely about what life was like growing up, how she experienced a repeated pattern of men controlling how she looked and how she eventually took back control after physically breaking down and making the difficult decision that enough was enough. Now, after having done the work and training in so many areas of nutrition, somatic coaching, trauma informed coaching and so much more, she has the words and the knowledge to break down and articulate what happened to her. If you are going through anything similar, with anything she has mentioned, please do reach out for help either directly to Nikki, your GP or any other trained professional.Nikki's bioThe UK’s Leading Award winning, trauma-informed nutritionist, disordered eating specialist, and nutrition psychology expert on a mission to bridge the gap between health, healing, hormones & personal development.Empowering ambitious women to reclaim their health, healing and hormones... without diets.Women's Health Redefined.Follow Nikki on InstagramVisit Nikki's website here.

24. You know what you need to do so why aren't you doing it?
Very often we use time as an excuse and yes, that can be very valid for some but more often than not, that time is filled with things that aren't enriching us. That time is filled by putting you to the bottom of the list. That time is filled by overcommitting yourself to things you'd wish you'd just been brave enough to say no too. It's so much easier to say yes to to others than to start going towards what we really want. It's so much easier that to work through the conditioning, the beliefs, the patterns of behaviour that are keeping us small. But I don't want you to get to the end of your days (because let's face it, we have no idea when that might be) and look back and think - I wish I'd done things differently. What's the legacy you're leaving? What do you want people to say about you?What's the impact you want to make?I'm not talking about saving world hunger or building an empire. I'm talking about the small things, modelling to our kids what's possible for them, creating a ripple effect of good in your local community. Because, as Rebecca Barr says - when women win, we all win.

20. From an NHS Radiologist to The High Ticket Women and Business Mentor, Tania shares with us how her drive for freedom keeps her going after 10 years working for the NHS
Tania has always had an internal desire to help people, it's in her bones, and she started the only way she knew how - as a Doctor. Growing up with an Iraqi Father and an English Mother, she was surrounded by doctors. Her fathers siblings were all doctors and her cousins followed in their footsteps. It felt like the only natural path. But after just over 10 years she found herself absolutely overwhelmed, burnt out and borderline depressed, she knew she couldn't continue. However, it was her husband that gave her the confidence and support to completely change career paths and try something new. Since then, they haven't looked back. This is a very real and very raw story, full of challenges, managing others emotions and expectations and dealing with her own anxiety. Tania mentions her book - The High Ticket Method during the interview. If you would like to know more about it, please click here. Follow or contact Tania on Instagram here.

16. Driven by a desire for a greater impact & more time with their daughter Sophia, Kayleigh shares with us how she went from an assistant head teacher to creating more freedom and chasing her dreams
Kayleigh Greenacre is as a business strategist and movement leader for the iconic era movement, supporting female entrepreneurs to step into their power and grow their businesses using evergreen sales systems but that hasn't always been her work. It wasn't that long ago that Kayleigh was working as an Assistant Head Teacher, creating impact in a school that she loved. But after having her daughter, she found herself repeating the same patterns her parents had lived years earlier - dropping her daughter off at 7am, going to work all day and getting back late - Kayleigh didn't get to spend as much time with her daughter as she'd dreamed of. She knew something had to change. During covid, and the breakdown of her marriage, she found herself being called more and more into making a bigger impact but wasn't really sure what that looked like. That's when she had the idea to write her first book - a book all about having a growth mindset. Kayleigh shares with us how she made the difficult decision to change her life so dramatically, the challenges she faced along the way and her why beneath it all. A very inspiring conversation.

11. Starting out as a young gymnast and always being told 'you're not good enough', Olga has taken a complete U turn in her life and followed her hearts calling.
Meet Olga Lapushner, The Women's Growth Coach. Olga shares with us the story of how she started out as a young gymnast, constantly being told 'you're not good enough, try harder'.

8. From starting life young as a carer, an abusive relationship, to learning to love herself fully. Jennifer Kirkley shares her powerful story with us
Jennifer Kirkley is one of the most beautiful souls I've ever met. She share her journey into how therapeutic life coaching began long before she knew the word “healing.” At ten years old, after her parents divorced and her mum had a breakdown, she became a carer for her younger sisters. That early responsibility shaped her understanding of love, safety, and resilience.At twenty, Jennifer married hoping to create the stable family she'd never had, but the relationship became abusive. After two children, Jennifer found the strength to leave and rebuild her life. Through therapy, deep inner work, and years of healing, she rediscovered who she truly was and eventually created a healthy, loving relationship with her now husband.Those experiences taught Jennifer that healing isn’t about forgetting the past, it’s about learning to love yourself through it.Today, as a Therapeutic Life Coach, Jennifer guides others through that same transformation. She helps people reconnect with themselves, break old patterns, and rebuild their lives from a place of compassion, clarity, and strength.Jennifer says - You are not broken. You are healing. And you are worthy of love.And I couldn't agree more.

7. Is there always a huge shift that makes us crave more fulfilment?
My journey as a coach didn't begin on purpose. I actually had no idea what I wanted to do when I knew I was craving more. I knew I wanted to help people but I had no idea what that looked like. Until an old friend took his own life in January 2023. That event changed my life forever. It made me reflect and over the past couple of years, I've always wondered what's been the thing that has made others reevaluate their lives and create more for themselves. As I reflect on all the interviews I've recorded so far for this pod (roughly 20), there is always something. An experience, burnout, depression, the loss of something or someone, the loss of themselves - there has always been something that has led to a reawakening of what they want their lives to look like. In this episode, I've shared a little more about my past and why my friend taking his own life had such a huge impact on me. This episode needs it's own trigger warning. There are talks of suicide so please don't listen if this upsets you. If you would like to connect with me on instagram, you can follow me @IamBexHogan. Please feel free to come and say hello.

2. Why I decided to add kids self-defense to my toolkit...
This summer I saw an advert to train to become a kids self-defence instructor. I didn't think twice about it, it was a full body yes! Gulshen Bano, the founder of Strike Back - the largest women's self-defence organisation in the world, has tirelessly been working behind the scenes on creating the most wonderful and inclusive kids instructor course. A course that works alongside the PHSE curriculum, that is fully adaptable for SEND children - with full guidance and support to make that happen, and that's safe to teach in schools. Having had no previous experience on training in martial arts, self-defense or anything physical, this world was brand new to me but the why in my heart was so strong, I just couldn't ignore it.
