The Kate Kenney Show #Unfiltered

The life looked perfect. But the cost was too high. What if the business you built was never really yours? In this unflinching episode, I sit down with Amanda Daly - powerhouse strategist, founder of The Turnaround CEO, and a woman who walked away from a 20-year legacy, a million-pound home, and a life that no longer fit. From breastfeeding at the front of a boardroom… to closing million-pound deals while her kids played tic-tac-toe on her arm - Amanda was running the empire. But inside? She was disappearing. What began as a successful climb inside her husband's family business became a slow erasure of self. Until one question shattered the illusion: "If my daughter lived this life I'm living… what would I say?" Her answer: "I'd be heartbroken." This episode is not about burnout. It's about burning the mask. It's about the boldest turnaround of all: coming home to yourself. If you're standing at an edge right now - knowing something has to change - Amanda's story will meet you there.   ✨ In This Episode: The moment she walked out of the business - and the marriage - she helped build Why high-functioning burnout can feel like slow erasure The quiet question that shattered everything What made her take off her wedding ring - and never put it back on How she landed her first client as The Turnaround CEO - with no website, just truth What true reinvention looks like when it starts from the inside out The soul whisper calling Amanda forward - and what it's saying now   ✨ Timestamps: 00:00 – Reconnecting after years apart 06:40 – The retreats that changed everything 12:10 – Breastfeeding at the boardroom table 18:00 – What Serena saw (and why it mattered) 21:30 – When she realised she was disappearing 25:50 – The question that broke her: "Would I want this for my daughter?" 32:00 – When the mediator asked if she needed to call the police 36:45 – Taking off the ring (and not looking back) 43:00 – Becoming The Turnaround CEO - and landing her first client 49:10 – How trauma fuels disempowerment - and what heals it 56:20 – Why the leaders who resist help the most… change the deepest 01:04:00 – Slowing down to speed up 01:09:45 – Amanda's next chapter is international 01:12:30 – The Ritual Question: What does your soul whisper is next? ⁠   ✨ Resources: Follow Amanda: Website → Business Website → Hypnotherapy LinkedIn → @amandadaly   Follow Kate: Instagram → @thekatekenney Facebook → @thekatekenney LinkedIn → @thekatekenney YouTube → @thekatekenney ​

What if the success you built is quietly breaking you? In this unfiltered and deeply resonant conversation, I sit down with financial strategist and truth-teller Serena Humphrey to unpack what really happens when the hustle-for-worthiness game runs your business - and your body finally says no. From losing her first home at 21, to running a £10M company with zero formal training, to burning out so completely she couldn't speak - this episode pulls back the curtain on the untold cost of doing business the "right" way. This isn't about spreadsheets, tactics, or productivity hacks. This is about reclaiming your peace, power, and capacity to lead from calm - not chaos. If you've ever looked at your success and thought: "Is this sustainable? Is this even mine?" - this episode is for you. In This Episode: The moment Serena walked away from her most secure income stream—and why it was the most powerful decision she's ever made What no one tells you about full-body burnout, mystery diagnoses, and the real cost of scaling at all costs How to stop letting "Mr. Fear & Scarcity" run your business strategy The deep financial trauma that redefined Serena's life—and the mission that came from it What it actually means to build a calm, profitable business (without performing worthiness through your revenue) Timestamps: 00:00 – Intro & reconnecting after 10 years 04:30 – The chocolate cake meeting 10:12 – Serena's early years: from head of finance at 21 to crashing hard 15:45 – The financial trauma that changed her mission forever 20:42 – Mr. Fear & Scarcity: the archetype running her business decisions 22:00 – How she chose calm over chaos 27:30 – The hustle energy detox 36:10 – Serena's spiritual and soul-led shift 46:25 – The cost of chasing external measures of success 57:30 – What Serena teaches now 01:00:00 – What it really means to be "enough" in life and business 01:03:00 – The Ritual Question: What does your soul whisper is next?   Resources: Follow Serena: LinkedIn → Connect The FWord Blog   Follow Kate: Instagram → @thekatekenney Facebook → Follow LinkedIn → Connect YouTube → Subscribe  

If your content feels like it's falling flat, it's not because you're missing something - it's because your brand is. In a sea of surface-level visibility, most entrepreneurs are trying to market without a clear message and build momentum without conviction. In this unfiltered and unapologetically honest conversation, I sit down with powerhouse strategist, branding and conversion copy expert Danielle Cevallos to pull back the curtain on what really separates magnetic, money-making brands from the ones just getting scrolled past. This isn't about algorithms. It's about alignment, strategy, and the kind of unwavering presence that moves people to act - not just "engage." Whether you're building your next-level empire or refining a brand that already performs, this conversation will rewire the way you think about visibility, voice, and building something that actually sells. In This Episode: The #1 reason most personal brands fail to convert (even with good content) Why "more visibility" is a trap without this essential ingredient What branding actually is—and why most people get it wrong How to create content with rhythm and resonance (even if you hate being on camera) Danielle's go-to mindset shift when conviction wavers The truth about viral content and why it rarely builds sustainable success This episode is a masterclass in branding for real results. It's for the leader ready to strip away the noise, get unapologetically clear, and own their space online with clear strategy that scales.  Danielle is the powerhouse behind some of today's most influential personal brands and she doesn't hold back in this conversation.

What if clarity isn't something you find - but something you remember? 33 years ago, a sun-drenched walk, through Cardiff, a dog-eared copy of The Lord of the Rings, and a flash of inner knowing changed everything.

In this episode of The Kate Kenney Show #Unfiltered, I sit down with Julie Ciardi: author, entrepreneur, mother, and former IBM VP, who walked away from everything that looked like success… to finally live in alignment. But this isn't about "starting over."

What if your next big opportunity… derailed your business? Most entrepreneurs dream of explosive growth, but few are truly prepared for the chaos it can bring. John Briggs was. In just four years, he grew his business from $2.7M to $24.4M in revenue and expanded his team from 35 to 250+ people—all while navigating massive demand, rapid scaling, and relentless growth. But here's where it gets really interesting… John's team uncovered a jaw-dropping truth: 85% of IRS letters demanding money are wrong. And guess what? They don't just accept it—they fight back. Most entrepreneurs are overpaying simply because they don't know this. From cracking the IRS code to scaling without burning it all down, this is a masterclass in building profit, protecting your money, and creating sustainable growth that lasts.     💡 In This Episode, We Cover: The Explosive Business Growth Story: How John scaled from $2.7M to $24.4M in just four years—handling 600 sales calls a day and 150 new clients a week without burning it all down. The IRS Truth Bomb: Why 85% of IRS letters are wrong—and why you should never blindly pay. His team regularly fights back and wins, saving clients thousands. Proactive vs. Reactive: The Accountant's Secret to Keeping More of Your Money—by playing offense, not defense with your taxes. (Hint: It's not what your CPA is telling you!)

The "Hidden Rule" for Entrepreneurs: A little-known tax loophole that could save business owners thousands every year… and almost no one is talking about it.

You're driven. Visionary. You've built what most people only dream of.   But if you're constantly chasing the next goal without ever stopping to breathe— This episode is your wake-up call.   In this powerful episode of The Kate Kenney Show #Unfiltered, I sit down with visionary strategist and founder of Vision Driven Global, Jennifer Hudye-Moscow, to discuss something that may be hard for most entrepreneurs to admit:   The more success you create, the harder it becomes to slow down—and celebrate you.   Jennifer is a vision strategist and transformational leader who helps high-achieving entrepreneurs design a future they are in love with. In this conversation, we uncover the hidden challenge of success: many visionary leaders are so focused on the next goal that they never pause to celebrate their wins.   This episode is a wake-up call for every high performer who struggles to slow down and acknowledge their brilliance.   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Visionary Leaders Must Learn to Close the Loop – Celebration isn't just about joy—it's a neurological reset that reinforces success. If You're Always Chasing the Next Goal, You're Missing the Point – Success isn't just about what's next. It's about owning what you've already built.

In this raw, sovereignly honest solo episode of The Kate Kenney Show #Unfiltered, I open the door to a story I've never told out loud - until now.
