⚡️The Mischief Movement Podcast⚡️

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Episode 100 is a stopping point, not a surrender. I’m closing this chapter of the Mischief Movement Podcast with a look back at the ideas that have helped so many of us step off autopilot and into intentional living, especially when midlife starts whispering that there must be more than ticking boxes.We revisit some of the moments that shaped the show: treating true fun as a North Star rather than a reward, protecting creativity as part of identity, and letting big life wake-up calls sharpen what matters. I also pull through some of my favourite guest lessons, from backing yourself and asking boldly, to designing your lifestyle first instead of squeezing your real life into evenings and weekends. That gem came from one of my favourite episodes with Designer-Maker & TV Presenter, Max McMurdo.Along the way we touch on late-blooming ambition with Designer Liz Mosley, modern career paths like UGC with Megan Spencer, and why “the worst someone can say is no” can be the start of everything.You’ll also hear how unexpected friendship and community grow from a single conversation, plus what’s next for me beyond the podcast: deeper coaching work, tarot as a tool for reflection, and a new space I’m sketching out for curious, adventurous humans who want to feel more alive.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What if the very dreams people call “delusional” are the ones that lead you to a life that finally fits? This week I sit down with branding and business strategist Silvia Coco to unpack how multi-passionate creatives can stop shrinking to fit a label and start using strategy as a bridge from idea to reality. From refusing the box to designing goals that match your real capacity, this conversation blends honest stories with practical tools you can use today.Silvia’s path runs from corporate communications to Parsons illustration to brand strategy, revealing how each pivot sharpened her gift for clarity. She shares why she left client-led design, how to reframe a job title as a conversation starter, and the simple definition of strategy that changes everything: the road you take from concept to done. We talk brand positioning, alignment, and the quiet traps that keep founders stuck even when they look “successful” on paper.  Silvia’s guiding word—intentionality—becomes a compass for multi-passionates: pick one theme, then express it everywhere through choices, collaborations, and content. We also trade podcast production truths, embracing the messy middle instead of chasing perfect timing. And we unpack “delusional to done,” a mindset that invites you to dream audaciously, select one strand, ship it, and let the proof power the next move.If you’re ready to trade labels for leverage and fog for focus, hit play.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Feeling stuck in the in-between—aware you’re meant for more, but unsure where to start? This week I sit down with author and adventurer Melissa Rodway to trace the spark behind her book The People You Meet and the winding path that followed. What begins as a tagalong trip across Southeast Asia becomes a study in curiosity, identity, and the strangers who tilt your life on its axis. Melissa shares how long emails from internet cafés turned into a self-published book, how she learned to choose the right voices to trust, and why one act of courage can open the floodgates to more...We dig into myths about travel and transformation. No neat epiphanies, but plenty of skill-building, confidence, and space to think. Along the way, we talk about saying yes to the unknown, reading your body’s 'yes' when your mind says 'no', and letting purpose reveal itself in overlaps: radio, writing, comedy, and an unexpected pull toward celebrancy and the death industry. These threads look random from up close, then resolve into a pattern of storytelling, presence, and service.If you’re wrestling with approval, perfection, or the “pick one lane” rule, this conversation offers a different blueprint. Start small. Ask better questions. Know when to tap out and go home instead of pushing through and burning out. Let dissatisfaction be data rather than a dead end. By the end, you’ll have practical prompts to move again and a reminder that the dots rarely connect without the next brave step...https://flyrodway.com/Melissa's bookSupport the show*Feeling stuck?

This week I'm taking you through another 'dream blocker' by looking at the phrases that keep us stuck—when things calm down, when I have more time, when I feel ready—and swapping them for micro‑moves that actually shift identity. We explore why one day is risky, how permission rarely arrives from the outside, and why action—not thought—creates the headspace and clarity we keep postponing.You’ll hear how midlife rebellion can be quiet and profound: not chaos, but a decision to stop delaying what makes you feel alive, and I share practical prompts to shrink your dreams into starter steps that fit inside a full life. Along the way, we unpack the myths of readiness and alignment, showing how momentum generates energy and how messy beginnings invite life to expand around your new direction.If you recognise your own 'one day' sentence, this is your gentle nudge toward your own rebellious move...Support the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!The moment the on‑air light flipped red, everything changed. Christine Blosdale walked into a radio studio expecting to crumble and walked out with a voice people couldn’t ignore. That spark carried her from AOL entertainment writer to independent radio host and now a coach who helps women stop playing small and claim their expert authority with clear, compelling language.We talk about the sliding‑doors choices that follow a crisis of purpose, from reassessing her work in celebrity culture after 9/11 to discovering a community‑funded station that prized analysis over noise. Christine breaks down how to build a bridge from talent to authority: keep your day job while you lay foundations, sell what your dream clients actually want, and name your value in words people instantly understand. She shares how podcasting became a simple, high‑leverage platform for visibility, then explains why she pivoted as the market shifted toward brand messaging, positioning, and packaging expertise.Imposter syndrome gets the honest treatment here and Christine’s antidote is service over self: focus on the person you help, not how you look. We trade tactics for momentum, from publishing books that boost SEO and credibility to using podcast guesting to open doors and deepen relationships.Along the way, we explore designing work around your energy. Short, focused bursts, real rest, and routines that invite ideas can make authority feel natural instead of forced. Expect concrete steps, candid stories, and permission to evolve as your audience evolves. If you’re multi‑passionate, we’ll help you choose a clear entry point without abandoning your range and if you’re waiting to feel ready, consider this your nudge to speak and show up right now!Free Discovery Call with Christine- http://www.ChatWithChristineB.comWebsite - http://www.ExpertAuthorityCoach.comLatest Book - The Social Media and Branding Survival Guide https://amzn.to/4c63qwISupport the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Waiting for perfect clarity can feel safe, but it’s often the very thing keeping us stuck. This week I'm talking about why the first step isn’t a five-year plan or a neat job title, it’s rebellion—small, deliberate acts that shake you out of autopilot and remind your nervous system that you’re allowed to want what you want. From saying no to the plan you don’t want to changing one tiny routine on purpose, these micro moves create momentum, and momentum invites clarity to catch up.You’ll hear stories from starting the podcast without a final format to navigating midlife defaults that run quiet but deep. We dig into why creating intentional space from the productivity treadmill is essential if you want your real voice to be heard. Think of this as a compassionate push: try the thing you’ve been overthinking, even if you do it badly at first, because action is the fastest teacher.Expect practical prompts you can use today: write a “things I’d love to do if nobody judged me” list, follow your curiosity for an hour with no outcome, and pick one micro mischief to test this week. I'm not promising certainty; I'm offering a way to build working clarity through movement. If you’re feeling pressure to define 2026 still, with a word of the year or a master plan, this conversation gives you permission to start smaller and go deeper.If this resonates, follow along, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so others can find it.

Send me a text!If you're feeling stuck or trapped by the daily grind, book a 1:1 coaching session with me and let's get you the momentum you're looking forEndings don’t need noise to matter. They need honesty, time, and the courage to pause when the calendar demands motion. I'm sharing a rare behind‑the‑scenes moment: why the podcast is heading toward its final chapters, and how I'm letting the ending arrive on its own schedule rather than forcing a finish for the sake of a date.Together we unpack the difference between finishing and ending well, and how cultural pressure—deadlines, year‑end goals, “new year, new you”—can push us to rush what deserves care. You’ll hear personal stories of exits done too fast, the hollowness that follows, and the subtle relief of stepping back to notice what’s truly complete. We explore the quiet mechanics of clarity: waiting longer than is comfortable, following energy instead of a plan, and allowing direction to surface in small, steady signals. Think seasonally, not just strategically; winter is for rest and nature works in cycles.I also share two practical anchors. First, the podcast will rest over the holidays so the final episodes can land with integrity, not obligation. Second, for anyone stuck between fatigue and possibility, the Rebel Reset offers a focused 90‑minute session to cut through fog and choose a next step that actually feels like you.

Book a Rebel Reset Session with me here and I'll help you get clear on where you're going and how to get there.What if freedom isn’t a stamp-filled passport but a calendar that finally breathes? I sit down with travel-writer-turned-coach Georgie Darling to unpack how a business can fund a bigger life instead of quietly swallowing it. From the early thrill of flights and flexible work to the hard truth of vanishing time, Georgie maps the shift from chasing escape to designing ease—on purpose.We get specific about the levers that matter: auditing your workload to kill performative tasks, tightening your offer into services you love, and pricing for stability with retainers that buy back hours. Georgie shares how she helps creative women—writers, videographers, digital marketers—ditch hustle myths, set humane boundaries, and choose clients who energise instead of exhaust. For midlife listeners balancing kids and careers, we explore freedom that looks like steady income, clear guardrails and emotional confidence in your craft, not another app to master.Travel can be a mirror. Notice the feelings you chase—curiosity, calm, aliveness—and rebuild your week to create them without a boarding pass. Start with a small rebellion: a half-day for joy, a solo lunch, a train to somewhere new. Then write to your future self and use simple tools— a goal breakdown, a firm schedule—to turn vision into steps. You don’t need every skill under the sun; you need mastery, messaging and the courage to say no when your gut whispers red flag.Ready to design a business that gives you a life?

Send me a text!This week I sit down with Meg the Creator to dive into a calm, repeatable way to earn online without chasing followers, going live, or turning your life into content. Megan left her 9-5 job during maternity leave, paid off $60,000 in debt, and built a sustainable business by creating user‑generated content for brands—quiet work with loud results.We unpack what UGC really is and why marketers love it: real people making authentic videos and photos that brands own and scale across ads and social. Megan breaks down how beginners get hired fast through apps like JoinBrands, Billo, Incense, and Tribe, often with scripts and shot lists provided. No portfolio? No problem. You’ll learn how to land first gigs in a day, and use simple negotiation to move from one‑offs to bundles and retainers. We dig into the psychology that sells—leading with emotion, not specs—and how to frame everyday benefits that drive clicks and conversions.For introverts, this path feels humane. We talk boundaries that protect energy, batching to avoid burnout, and choosing brand categories that feel aligned. Meg shares candid student wins, from parents earning 5k in their first month to older creators landing paid videos without public profiles. She also reveals the edge behind her Anti‑Influencer Method: a living master list of brands, agencies, and faceless opportunities that bridges learning to paid work. If you’ve been stuck in the myth that only influence equals income, this episode hands you a blueprint that turns one content skill into multiple revenue streams.Loved this conversation?

Ready to make marketing feel simple, fast, and surprisingly fun? This week I sit down with Hannah Isted—creator of The Best 90 Days Ever and author of the book—to unpack how 10-minute tasks, underthinking, and bold experiments can unlock momentum for small business owners. Instead of chasing perfection or waiting for motivation, Hannah shows how to set a timer, ship your work, and let consistency compound.We dig into her “big fish energy” theme, a yearly compass that nudges her to act like the braver version of herself: pitching talks, improving public speaking, and even launching a local meet-up that went viral. Hannah shares why most of us resist letting tasks be easy, how to build lightweight systems that pay off all year, and the exact ways she reuses content without anyone noticing. From Trello boards for seasonal campaigns to saved email folders and photo libraries, she proves that repeatable processes beat starting from scratch.You’ll learn how to restart your content habit by repurposing last year’s winners, how to scroll with curiosity to reverse-engineer hooks, and why posting more often helps you gather the data you need to actually improve. We also explore healthy boundaries for personal sharing—picking a small set of topics that reveal your personality without crossing lines—so your audience has something real to engage with. The takeaway is clear: momentum is built from tiny, focused actions, identity grows through doing, and opportunities multiply when seized!If you’re tired of overthinking and want practical steps you can use today, this conversation will get you moving.

If this offends you, it's not going to be the episode for you....!What happens when you stop chasing everyone and start choosing the few who truly get you? We sit down with Storm Mackay, founder of Soba Private Label, to unpack their unglossy reality of building a distinctive brand and a life designed on purpose. No hustle theatre, no yacht mythology—just the messy, honest path from wrong offers and empty pipelines to a bold identity, a ramen‑slurping mascot, and clients who pay for real thinking.Storm shares why “splitting the room” is the most underrated growth strategy in saturated markets, and how clear positioning lives in the buyer’s mind long before a sales call. We dig into the craft of memorable assets, irreverent copy that earns attention, and the patience it takes for a message to wear in. You’ll hear why Soba chose to “win a city” instead of a country and what it looks like to do your own marketing in public so prospects trust you faster.Beyond tactics, we go deep on identity, values, and redefining ambition. Storm’s version of success isn’t headcount—it’s five great clients, time for their garden, and work that feels aligned. We talk about handling rejection without shrinking your signal, drawing firm lines around client fit, and the radical clarity that comes from stepping away from social media comparison.

We dive straight into that question this week and unpack why aliveness fades quietly whilst the “sensible voice” keeps you safe and stuck at the same time. You’ll learn a simple tradeoff test—by saying yes to this, what am I saying no to?—that exposes the hidden cost of choices that drain you. We explore elevating the ordinary in work and life, shifting your business goals from chasing perfection to designing for energy, and building a practice of tiny, rebellious experiments that restore momentum. You can’t think your way into aliveness; you act your way into it with small, honest moves that compound.If you’ve been feeling flat, busy, or strangely disconnected from the life you built, this conversation offers both a reframe and a plan. I share how to step into the version of you who stops asking for permission, listens to desire without apology, and makes one bold move that your future self will thank you for.

I sat down with Menopause Mentor and Motivational Speaker Jo Fiddy to flip the script on midlife, swap fear for agency, and talk through the science that makes change feel less mysterious and more navigable.Jo shares her story of stress-induced menopause in her 30s, the brain–ovary connection, and the moment she chose compassion over punishment. We dig into how language shapes the nervous system, why “it’s coming for me” spikes cortisol, and how a simple reframing—this is an invitation—creates space to support your body. You’ll learn what EFT and Rapid Tapping actually do in the brain, how they can ease anxiety fast, and why neuroplasticity matters when your hormones are fluctuating. We also explore practical pillars: boundaries that protect energy, protein-forward meals, resistance training for bones and muscle, and the underrated power of a daily walk for mood and cognition.We move myth-busting into action by using research as preparation, not prophecy. Think symptom tracking and bringing a clear log to your GP.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What if the inner-voice you were taught to distrust was actually the key to your freedom? In this episode, I sit down with Liané once again to unpack life inside a high-control religious group—where conformity wore the mask of care, questions were dangerous, and “normal” meant chaperoned dates, curfews, and the quiet policing of thought. She traces the moment one gentle question cracked her certainty, the midnight search that dismantled decades of belief, and the hardest decision she ever faced: return and pretend to keep her family, or step into the unknown and choose herself?Across this conversation, we examine how doctrines like “don’t trust your heart” fracture identity and how the promise of living forever convinces people to defer education, goals, and joy. Liané shares how, once the shell fell away, her own ethics and preferences emerged intact—as if they’d been waiting for air. We talk about the small rebellions that kept her spirit alive and the pain of being shunned. The through line is practical and hopeful: courage compounds, and environment is leverage. Build a circle that mirrors your becoming and watch your healing accelerate.You’ll walk away with grounded tools for any life pivot: ask questions, take micro-acts of autonomy, and design an environment that supports your next chapter. This isn’t just a story about leaving a cult; it’s a map for anyone at a crossroads, wondering if that quiet inner nudge deserves a chance. If the fear is loud but the knowing is clear, start small and move forward. Your life expands in proportion to the risks you take on your own behalf...To find out more about Liané and her services, head to her website: https://lianeellecoaching.comDownload the ‘Made for This Moment’ Free Private Podcast for changemakers and cycle breakers who want to rise to the challenges of today and still be here, strong and resourced, for the long game: https://lianeellecoaching.com/private-podcastSupport the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!*Trigger warning* Today's episode briefly mentions sexual trauma, religious trauma and PTSD. If you have been or are affected by these topics, please listen with caution.Have you ever been at a crossroads between leaving everything you know and stepping into an uncertain future? A life can split in two over a kitchen sink as my guest, Liané Elle, testifies when she stood in that ordinary moment but chose the unordinary path: leaving a high-control religion, navigating PTSD, and rebuilding from the ground up. What followed wasn’t a slog through endless therapy but a focused return to feeling alive, guided by the science of memory reconsolidation and practical tools for working with the unconscious mind.We unpack the real mechanics of change—how recalling a memory can loosen its emotional grip, why “prediction errors” help the brain refile old pain with new meaning, and how this opens room for sleep, creativity, and presence. Liané’s “healing shortcut” reframes recovery as a fast lane back to living, not a permanent project. For founders, creatives, and activists, we explore the hidden costs of running on anger: jaw tension, tunnel vision, and a shut-down of the higher faculties that bold work requires. The alternative is clean energy—motivation powered by values and safety—so you can sustain momentum without burning out.We also dive into religious trauma and purity culture, the “good girl” script many women are shedding in their 40s, and the everyday patterns that hold change makers back: perfectionism, fear of visibility, and the ache that “things should be different.” You’ll hear accessible practices—choosing a target feeling, amplifying micro-moments that match it, visualising near-term success—to harness neuroplasticity in daily life. Your brain is made to change and your story can too...***Come back next week for a special second episode where we're diving into what it was really like growing up inside a religious cult...To find out more about Liané and her services, head to her website: https://lianeellecoaching.comDownload Liané's ‘Made for This Moment’ Free Private Podcast forSupport the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What if your most profitable idea is the one you act on today? I sit down with Bee, the creative force behind The Wandering Bee, to explore how a scrappy Google search, a pile of beer bottles, and relentless childlike confidence turned into a luxury, sustainable candle brand with real momentum. From a two-month sprint to launch, to a thriving subscription model and a three-storey space, Bee shares the unfiltered story: constraints turned into design, reviews turned into content, and content turned into community.We go inside the early moves—testing wicks and waxes in lockdown, hand-sanding bottles when glass was scarce, and seeding the first 12 orders through local Facebook groups. Bee breaks down her simple growth stack and we also dig into branding choices that scale—choosing a name that travels beyond candles, pairing luxury design with playful product names, and keeping sustainability stylish rather than preachy.The most moving thread is balance. Bee is candid about returning to work two weeks after birth, the guilt of splitting attention, and the pressure of paying a team while learning to lead. Therapy helped her stop moving the goalposts and bring joy back into the business—“fun weeks,” team trips, and a rhythm that balances growth with life. If you’re stuck in a bridge job, craving a pivot, or wrestling with perfectionism, you’ll leave with practical steps: launch locally, ask for reviews, build a simple Shopify site, carve out a daily content hour, and let momentum teach you the next step.Ready to trade overthinking for action and build something with heart, humour, and staying power?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Ready is a mirage; alignment is real. This week I sit down with author and coach Nikki Chaplin to unpack what it takes to play bigger, live authentically, and design a life that feels like play without torching the practicalities that keep your world turning. After 25 years in corporate banking, Nikki didn’t just pivot—she layered writing, speaking, and coaching until a new identity took shape. Along the way she learned to swap perfection for progress, fear for curiosity, and titles for the inner compass of values.We dig into the moments that shaped her: the mentor who believed before she did, the three words from Les Brown—“Why don’t you?”—that launched her first book, and the jolt of a merger that pushed her out of a safe role and into the work her soul had been asking for. Nikki shares a simple L and I framework: learn the basics, then invest in yourself through communities, mentors, and practice. We get practical on the difference between scattered work and intentional action, how to use journaling to name what you truly want, and why purpose isn’t a single path but many doorways you can walk through with confidence.If you’re stuck in a job that pays the bills while your heart whispers “more,” this conversation offers a bridge. You’ll hear how to honour financial realities while building creative momentum, how to test whether you love a new path before betting the farm, and how a tribe of peers can turn scary leaps into smart steps. Expect honest stories, useful advice and a warm nudge to choose the next brave move—because impact starts when you do.Connect with Nikki on Substack, LinkedIn or Instagram https://thinkbrave.netSupport the show*Feeling stuck?

This week we take aim at the myth that you need the full map before you move and trade it for a bolder truth: tourists follow routes, but rebels make their own roads. Across this short, solo episode, I unpack why action creates clarity, not the other way round, and why confidence is built mid‑stride.

Coming back after a summer hiatus, I've discovered something powerful about what true mischief looks like.During Italy's three-month summer break, I made a radical choice to step off the productivity treadmill. Instead of chasing achievement, I lowered my expectations and embraced presence. This presence became my rebellion against a culture that constantly demands we do more, achieve more, be more.The summer brought other lessons in quiet rebellion too and these experiences crystallised some powerful truths: rebellion also comes through connection and joy, and refilling your cup is a revolutionary act that allows you to show up more fully for everything (and everyone) else.The new podcast season features guests who embody mischief boldly—from rule-breaking entrepreneurs to coaches challenging traditional narratives. Each conversation will spark your own rebellion, whether messy or ordered, subtle or loud.Ready to join the quiet revolution? Subscribe now and let's make some meaningful mischief together.

The SwitchTrack series finale brings together powerful lessons from five rebels who dared to pivot their lives toward greater alignment, freedom, and fulfillment. (You can listen to their individual episodes 75-80 to hear more about each of my guests' journeys).From Clay Lowe's embrace of play over career obligation to Claire Alexander's courageous international move aligning business with values; from Hayley Dawson finding clarity through messy action to Kat Vandal celebrating creative progress over perfectionism; and finally, Kate Campbell's counterintuitive yet liberating shift from self-employment back to employment—each story reveals a different facet of the pivoting process.The common threads weaving through these journeys? You don't need permission to redesign your life. Small, imperfect steps consistently outperform waiting for perfect timing. Clarity emerges from action, not endless contemplation. Your identity is fluid, and evolution isn't failure—it's proof you're alive. Sometimes quitting is the most rebellious act that sets you free.This episode doesn't just tell stories—it offers practical reflection prompts and actionable exercises to spark your own 'switch-track' moment. Whether you're standing at a crossroads, feeling a growing sense of misalignment, or quietly plotting your next move, these insights invite you to show up messy, bold, and unapologetic in creating a life that truly fits.Ready to explore your own potential pivot?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What happens when the path to freedom looks like the opposite of what everyone tells you it should be? Kate Campbell's journey flips the script on conventional career wisdom in this eye-opening episode of Switchtrack.A creative entrepreneur who had run her own business for over 20 years, Kate faced the hard reality that her passion project—Wonderlust, a creative thinking business with workshops and a membership community—wasn't growing as she'd hoped. Despite her deep belief in the transformative power of curiosity and creativity, convincing others to invest in something "fun" proved an uphill battle.The most remarkable part of Kate's story isn't just her decision to seek employment after decades of self-employment, but how quickly the universe responded. On the very first day of casually browsing job listings, she discovered a role that seemed made for her: Innovation Strategist at a brand agency. The position leveraged everything she loved about her own business—creative thinking, ideation, workshops—but within a team structure that provided what she didn't realise she'd been missing.Kate's candid reflections on what surprised her most reveal a powerful paradox: despite working longer hours away from home, she now has more energy than before. "I think that's because I've fulfilled something that maybe wasn't being fulfilled before," she explains. For those contemplating their own pivot, her advice refreshingly avoids the typical "take the leap" clichés. Instead, she suggests simply dipping your toe in to see what else might be possible—the exact approach that led to her finding fulfillment in the most unexpected place.Connect with Kate hereSupport the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What happens when you realise the dream you've been chasing isn't actually yours anymore? Kat Vandal returns to share her bold decision to completely walk away from her children's fashion brand to pursue a full-time career as an artist.When we last spoke with Kat, she was still trying to save Vandal Kids – seeking partners or buyers who might keep the brand alive while she remained as Creative Director. Today, she reveals the moment she asked herself the question that changed everything: "Am I trying to save my brand, or am I trying to save my ego?" This powerful realisation led her to close that chapter and embrace her rapidly accelerating art career following her first solo exhibition in Berlin.The conversation takes us deep into the psychology of pivoting, exploring the fears, challenges, and surprising joys that come with dramatic professional changes. Kat speaks candidly about financial anxiety as a self-employed creative, the impatience for success, and the tendency to focus on what hasn't been accomplished rather than celebrating wins. Yet her story ultimately reveals how following your gut can lead to greater alignment, even when the path seems uncertain.Kat offers thoughtful advice from her experience: take time to properly evaluate major decisions, create detailed lists of what you like and dislike about your current situation versus your potential new direction, and crucially, speak with people already working in your desired field to ensure your expectations match reality.Connect with Kat on Instagram @kat.vandal or through her website katvandalart.com, and look out for her upcoming solo exhibition in London this September.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What happens when you feel restless in your current life but the idea of change feels overwhelmingly scary? Claire Alexander knows this feeling intimately. Two years after her first appearance on the podcast, she returns with a story of transformation that will resonate with anyone standing at a crossroads.Claire has completely reimagined her life by relocating from London to Austin, Texas – a journey that took nearly two years of planning and persistence through numerous obstacles. As a fashion brand consultant who built her business to be location-independent, she embraced the opportunity to start fresh in a new country. Yet even with careful preparation, she discovered that becoming "the new girl" at an older age brings unexpected challenges and surprising rewards.Her story goes beyond geographic relocation. Claire has expanded her professional identity by becoming an Arbonne consultant, embracing a business opportunity that aligns with her values around sustainability and women's empowerment. What makes this dual pivot fascinating is how she's navigated finding community in both endeavors, demonstrating that connections are vital when rebuilding your life. From networking events she'd rather skip to serendipitously meeting fellow female motorcycle riders, Claire shows how putting yourself out there – however uncomfortable – creates the foundation for your new reality.For anyone contemplating a major life change, Claire offers refreshingly practical wisdom: "Nothing good comes from staying in your comfort zone." She advocates for messy action over perfect planning, reminding us that courage isn't the absence of fear but moving forward despite it. This conversation serves as both inspiration and practical roadmap for those ready to switch tracks but unsure how to take that first step.Support the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!What happens when life brings you full circle? In this revealing conversation with returning guest Clay Lowe, we explore the natural cycles that can lead us back to our original passions—but with decades of hard-won wisdom to guide the way.Clay shares how after 30 years in the learning and development space, he's returned to his roots of combining personal transformation with coaching. His journey began with "Personal Growth Adventures," using outdoor experiences to catalyse profound change in people's lives, before corporate demands pulled him toward leadership development and team building. Now, as he enters what he calls "Act Three" of life, he's reconnecting with his original mission—but with a renewed focus on helping "intelligent misfits" who followed conventional paths but never quite felt they belonged.This conversation digs deep into mortality as a motivator, the challenges of creating meaningful signal amidst the noise of the personal development industry, and the wisdom of starting with tiny actions when making big changes. Clay's refreshing honesty about confronting his finite time provides a powerful wake-up call for anyone postponing their dreams. "Five minutes is better than no minutes," he reminds us, offering practical wisdom for those feeling trapped by busy schedules or overwhelm.Whether you're standing at a crossroads, contemplating your own legacy, or simply curious about how our callings evolve throughout life's seasons, Clay's journey demonstrates how sometimes the most aligned path leads us back to where we started—but with deeper purpose and clearer vision.Listen to our first conversation herehttps://www.soulcruzer.com/Support the show*Feeling stuck?

Dr. Hayley Dawson faced this exact dilemma with her first venture, "The Blocks," designed to help people navigate modern adulthood. Despite her extensive teaching and research background, something wasn't clicking.Rather than continuing to push a concept that wasn't resonating, Hayley made the brave choice to step back, reassess, and pivot. The result? Let's Talk Human Skills—a focused approach to the seven essential capabilities everyone needs for career success: confidence, emotional intelligence, communication, collaboration, relationship building, ideation, and adaptability. This clarity transformed her business from struggling side-project to thriving enterprise, now serving prestigious clients like ASOS and University College London while reaching over 5,000 people through her curriculum.Hayley's journey illuminates critical insights for anyone feeling stuck or considering a change. She discovered that success requires three elements: expertise in your area, genuine enjoyment of the work, and creating something people actually want.Whether you're contemplating a career pivot or struggling to gain traction with your current path, this conversation (part of the Switchtrack Mini-Series) offers both practical wisdom and the permission to change direction.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Feeling exhausted? You're not alone. In this season finale, we're taking a collective breath to reflect on what we've learned and prepare for what's next. This isn't just about looking back—it's about setting the stage for deeper rebellion and personal transformation.Throughout Series 6, we've witnessed incredible journeys of people who dared to live differently. From Jo Hodson embracing van life and creativity to Elissa Davies showing us that sometimes the most rebellious act is simply to slow down and breathe. Ro Feilden-Cook challenged fitness industry norms, DJ Flourish encouraged radical self-expression ("be a fucking disco ball"), while Vicky White proved that the things that make you weird might just be the things that make you wonderful.The common thread? They all took action. They didn't just dream—they made bold, rebellious moves to change their lives. But here's a fresh perspective: rebellion doesn't always look loud. Sometimes it's quiet confidence in action. Sometimes it's just choosing yourself. What's one tiny, mischievous act of defiance you can sneak into your day that reminds you who you really are?As we prepare for Series 7, I'm embracing my word of the year—"space"—by taking a short break to honour the power of the quiet in between. It's not about hustle or constant growth, but about listening to what's shifting inside and what's calling to be born next...Support the show*Feeling stuck?

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Ever felt like your life has become an uninspiring routine? A comfortable cage of your own making? This episode dives deep into how embracing mischief as a mindset—not just as playful rebellion but as strategic disruption—might be the missing piece in your personal transformation puzzle.Drawing from my own experience of feeling stuck in a soul-draining waitressing job, I share the pivotal moment when I chose curiosity over comfort and possibility over predictability. Mischief operates through four powerful mindset shifts: curiosity (questioning the status quo), creativity (treating life as a series of experiments), connection (recognising how playfulness brings people together), and courage  (stretching yourself just enough to feel alive). The beauty lies in starting small by breaking tiny rules in your daily routine and in this episode I'll show you how.Ready to wake up your brain and break free from autopilot living? I challenge you to choose just one mindset shift this week and take action on it—small acts of strategic rebellion can gradually transform your entire approach to life.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Have you ever felt like you're running on a treadmill instead of living an adventure? After losing my job as a designer in 2011, I spent six frustrating years trying to fit into a way of life that wasn't built for people like me. I bounced between unfulfilling jobs, even getting sacked from a shop position(!) while desperately searching for my elusive "purpose."The breakthrough came when I made one radical shift: I stopped obsessively searching for purpose and started following my curiosity and joy instead. I made MISCHIEF my guiding North Star just to see what would happen. This seemingly simple change led me to Camp VC, a women's motorcycle festival where I found myself surrounded by fearless women pushing boundaries. That weekend sparked something powerful – the reawakening of my rebel spirit. I wasn't broken; I'd just been forcing myself to live by rules that weren't designed for creative misfits like us.Science confirms what I discovered through experience: when you follow what excites you, you actually rewire your brain's curiosity loop for greater confidence, clarity, and creativity. This episode features a guided visualization to help you connect with your future self – the version of you who's already built the life you secretly dream about.

Enjoyed this episode? Send me a text!Feeling like you need to shout to be heard? Think again. Power doesn't always roar—sometimes it quietly rumbles, felt rather than announced. I'm sharing the concept of "Quiet Thunder" today—that magnetic presence that doesn't depend on volume or aggression but emerges from being deeply grounded in who you are. It's about embodying a confidence so authentic it doesn't need to prove itself, a rebellion so true it doesn't need to make a scene.Through personal stories, I share how this quiet power shaped my own life at critical crossroads. These weren't moments of loud rebellion but of listening deeply to my intuition and acting with quiet certainty.For unconventional introverts, quiet disruptors, multi-passionates, and those who've always felt that traditional definitions of power don't quite fit, this episode offers validation and practical guidance. You'll discover four ways to embody your own Quiet Thunder, because sometimes the most radical thing you can do is simply choose yourself in a world that expects you to follow the script.Ready to transform how you see personal strength?
