The Unstoppable 5%

Hannah Lucy spent 16 years in corporate, working her way from carer to Chief Operating Officer, managing £2 million worth of services and leading a team of 50+ staff. From the outside, she had it made. But it was the quieter moments, sitting with people at the end of their lives, carrying grief no job title could prepare her for, that shaped who she was becoming. In this episode of The Unstoppable 5%, Laurie sits down with Hannah to explore the real story behind the pivot: a divorce, a bodybuilding stage, a coach who pushed her in the wrong direction, and a grandmother whose life made Hannah determined to live bigger. Hannah is now the founder of The RECLAIM Method, a 12-week transformation program built around the belief that strong in body is strong in mind is strong in business. If you've ever wondered whether you've spent years building a life for everyone else while quietly putting yourself last, this episode is for you. Key Themes •   Career reinvention and identity beyond the job title •   End-of-life care and the perspective shift it creates •   Using fitness as a vehicle for personal reclamation •   Why high-performing women are often the worst at investing in themselves •   Building a business that reflects your values, not someone else's rules •   Legacy, mortality and how to live a life worth talking about About Hannah Lucy Hannah Lucy is a Body and Lifestyle Transformation Coach and founder of The RECLAIM Method. After a 16-year corporate career in the care sector, culminating in a COO role,  Hannah pivoted to coaching after recognising how many women, herself included, had spent years looking after everyone else while neglecting their own health, confidence, and identity. Her 12-week program helps women lose fat, build muscle, and create sustainable habits that work around real life. Find Hannah •   hannahlucyofficial.com •   @hannahlucyofficial on Instagram

In this episode, I'm joined by Kelly Lundberg, someone I've known for over 13 years and had a front-row seat watching evolve. From building a successful styling business in Dubai to stepping onto global stages, delivering TEDx talks, writing books, and moving into personal branding, Kelly's journey is one of reinvention, courage, and intentional growth. This conversation focuses on the decisions behind that evolution.   We discuss: What it really takes to walk away from something that's working How to navigate the in-between phase when you're building your next chapter Why so many people stay in roles they've outgrown The role of confidence, habits, and structure in moving forward How being intentional with your personal brand creates opportunity over time If you've been feeling like you're capable of more but haven't fully stepped into it yet, this episode will challenge you to think differently. Because growth doesn't come from waiting. It comes from deciding.

In this episode, Laurie sits down with her good friend Lori Warren, a former FBI agent, polygrapher, and crisis negotiator, for an honest conversation about human behaviour, deception, manipulation, and trust. It's a conversation about the subtle signals we often sense but talk ourselves out of… in business, relationships, leadership, and everyday life. Drawing from decades of experience sitting across from people under pressure, Lori shares what she noticed again and again, not in a technical way, but in a deeply human one. Together, we explore how deception and manipulation actually show up in everyday conversations, why confidence can be misleading, and how learning to trust what you notice can change the way you make decisions. In this episode, we talk about: Why most people don't know what to look for when someone isn't being fully honest The importance of knowing someone's baseline behaviour Subtle body language cues people give away under pressure Voice tone, over-explaining, and storytelling patterns that signal evasion Why exaggeration and avoidance are more common than outright lying How manipulation often shows up through guilt, anger, or control The behaviours behind narcissism and why they're impossible to unsee once recognised Why calm leadership matters in high-stress situations How negotiation and influence work when the goal is safety and trust The red flags of toxic and controlling relationships, and when it's time to walk away This episode is for anyone who's ever thought something feels off, but couldn't quite explain why. Because most of us notice more than we think, we just don't always trust it.   https://youtu.be/LKlMs7b5l-M  

Welcome to another episode of The Unstoppable 5% You are smart, capable, and motivated. So why does it feel like you're just treading water? In this episode, Laurie sits down with Naima Spencer, a mindset facilitator for high-performing leaders, to answer a critical question: What separates the people who actually move forward from the ones who stay stuck in the "safe" zone? Naima argues that success is 80% mindset and only 20% strategy. She shares her own powerful story of self-sabotage, turning down a life-changing career opportunity because she didn't feel "good enough", and reveals the neuroscience behind why we default to fear, perfectionism, and "primal" survival modes even when we want to grow. This conversation unpacks: •The 80/20 Rule of Success: Why more strategy won't save you if your mindset is stuck. •Primal vs. Powerful States: How to identify when you are operating out of survival mode vs. alignment. •The "3R" Framework: A practical roadmap to Realise, Release, and Rise above limiting patterns. •Identity Shifts: Why we often fear success because we are afraid to "kill off" who we used to be. •Rewiring the Brain: How to stop treating your beliefs as facts and start treating them as decisions you can change. This episode is for the entrepreneur or leader who feels like they are running on autopilot, achieving on the outside, but battling overthinking, anxiety, or a sense of "stuckness" on the inside.

In this episode, Laurie is joined by Dr Liesl Keen, an industrial psychologist and applied neuroscience practitioner, for a grounded conversation about navigating uncertainty, rebuilding identity, and developing real resilience when life no longer looks the way you expected. After spending 20 years in the corporate world, Liesl shares her personal experience of leaving structure and certainty behind, facing an identity crisis, and learning how stress, self-doubt, and overwhelm affect the brain. Together, they explore why uncertainty often hits our sense of self before anything else, and how resilience is built through nervous system regulation, self-awareness, and small, consistent actions. This conversation unpacks: Why pushing through is not resilience How stress shuts down clear thinking and decision-making The role identity plays when we're navigating career or life change How the brain's neural networks influence confidence, focus, and burnout Practical ways to regulate stress and rebuild self-trust during uncertain seasons This episode is for anyone who feels stuck in an in-between phase… when the old version of you no longer fits, but the next one hasn't fully formed yet. 🎧 Listen now for a science-backed, human approach to navigating uncertainty without burning out or losing yourself.  

Welcome to another episode of The Unstoppable 5% High performers don't just work harder… they operate differently. In this interview, I speak with Sally about the conscious choice to lead, build, and connect from **presence over pressure**, and why this way of operating consistently produces better outcomes. From Sally's perspective, we explore: - How pressure creates urgency, but presence creates clarity - Why the best decisions are made from grounded awareness, not reaction - What changes when leaders slow down enough to truly connect - How meaningful experiences naturally lead to strong, lasting community.  This conversation isn't about motivation or hustle. It's about the internal operating system that drives sustainable performance, better relationships, and clearer leadership.  🎧 Listen in if you're interested in the thinking patterns and behaviours that consistently separate those who stay reactive from those who move with intention. 🧡 Explore more conversations, experiences, and upcoming events via the links below. 🎙️ New episodes 2 weeks ✨ Subscribe for stories from the unstoppable 5% Connect with me: 🌐https://www.instagram.com/laurie__drummond/ 🌐https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-drummond-30aa0a33/ #UnstoppableMindset #Entrepreneurship #SuccessStories

In this episode of The Unstoppable 5%, Laurie sits down with the powerhouse that is Dr Katherine Iscoe… speaker, author, self-respect advocate, and a woman who has reinvented herself more times than most people dare to try once. From Canada, to Australia, to Dubai, Dr K's journey is anything but linear. What looks like success on the outside was, for many years, fuelled by external validation, perfectionism, and deep internal battles. In this conversation, she opens up about the moments that broke her, the beliefs that kept her stuck, and the clarity that finally set her free. Dr K shares how an emotional breakdown became the catalyst for radical honesty, self-respect, and choosing a life that actually feels aligned. We talk eating disorders, depression, the sunk cost fallacy, identity loss, and what it really takes to stop living life for approval and start living it for yourself. Now based in Dubai, Dr K is a sought-after speaker across the UAE, the author of three books, with her latest centred entirely around self-respect, and the creator behind the bold vision for In Her Shoes, a future series spotlighting women's stories through confidence, courage, and yes… shoes. This episode is raw, real, and deeply relatable. It's for the woman who knows she's capable of more, but needs the nudge to finally choose herself. In this episode, we cover: Reinventing yourself when life feels heavy and misaligned The hidden cost of chasing external validation Disordered eating, mental health, and the long road to healing Why "self-respect" became Dr K's turning point The belief that kept her stuck, and how she dismantled it Why risk lives in the doing, not the outcome Big dreams, bold moves, and creating a future that excites you Dr K's Unstoppable Takeaway: Risk isn't in the planning or the result. Risk is in choosing to do the thing… and backing yourself through it. If you're in a season of reinvention, questioning who you are or where you're headed, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are. Big dreams, small steps… let's start moving. 🧡  

Rosie Gunn: From Corporate Burnout to Building Endless in the UAE   Rosie Gunn had a corporate career at M&S, hit a ceiling, and walked away during one of the darkest times of her life. She co-founded Endless, a circular fashion platform in the UK, secured funding, then watched COVID shut everything down two weeks later. Most people would've called it quits. Rosie moved to Dubai and started again from scratch.   In this episode, Rosie shares:   • Why she left the corporate ladder to build the future of fashion • The reality of closing her UK business and rebuilding in the UAE • Hostessing, modelling, and acting to fund the dream while bootstrapping • The brutal truth about investment rejection and being underestimated • How Endless accidentally became a community that's lifting women higher • What it actually takes to keep going when the odds are stacked against you   If you've ever thought about leaving the safe path to chase something bigger, this one's for you.   Resources and Links Connect with Rosie and Endless:   Website: https://rosie-gunn.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosiegunn?igsh=MXhib2RrMWZ0MzAyeQ== LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosiegunn1?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app  

Marlené Brewis (Marms Hope) landed in Dubai with $500, a suitcase, and no job. She was sleeping on a friend's sofa with no idea what came next. This is the first time Marms has shared her full story publicly. We talk about growing up as the unwanted child, the husband who isolated her, the moment she said yes to the divorce, working 22-hour days while the company crumbled, being nearly homeless, and what it takes to keep choosing yourself when life keeps testing you. If you've ever felt like the outsider or you're standing on the edge of your next big leap, this one's for you.

You had the vision. You knew exactly what life would look like once you reached your dream, until it didn't go the way you imagined. But what if the dream is still there, just showing up in disguise? In this episode of Lounging with Laurie, we talk about: How dreams often unfold in unexpected ways Why a detour doesn't mean you've failed or missed your chance The role of mentors and trusted friends in helping you see what you can't on your own How to stay open and flexible so you can still make it happen Big dreams don't always follow a straight line. Sometimes they show up differently, and that's where the magic really begins.  🎙️ Listen now and remember: your dream isn't denied, it's just showing up in a new way.   Summary: You hit the goal. You did the thing. So… why doesn't it feel as good as you thought it would? In this episode of Lounging with Laurie, we're talking about the messy, unspoken truth behind success: that sometimes the moment you've been working towards doesn't feel like much at all. Whether you've launched the business, landed the role, or finally made the move and you're still feeling a bit flat this is the episode you didn't know you needed. What I cover: Why your brain loves the chase more than the finish line (hello, dopamine!) How the goalposts keep shifting (and why you don't even notice) What happens when you forget to bring joy along for the ride I'll share a personal story about moving overseas and the reality check that came with it plus a few moments that reminded me what success really feels like. This is your permission slip to slow down, feel proud, and stop waiting for "someday" to let yourself enjoy your life.   Links Join our Community in our Free Lounge Room  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2725813180892457 Subscribe to our Journal and follow along with the latest  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sisterhoodchronicle Join the next Mastermind AAC  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sp-sales-page-3297-7396-3189 Sign up to my weekly "Power Note" newsletter https://sisterhoodcollective.com/ld_powernote Love, Laurie & Lauren xx =================  Sisterhood Collective Connect.

In this episode, I'm discussing routines, results, and releasing the pressure to "do it all perfectly." Inspired by conversations with my mentees (and reminders from my own messy weeks), we're talking about what actually matters when it comes to progress and it's not ticking off a 6-step morning routine before sunrise. You'll hear why I don't chase perfect anymore, what I focus on instead, and how to create momentum that actually works for your life. Whether you're in a full sprint or just doing your best to show up once a week, this one's for you.   What I cover: Why the idea of a "perfect routine" can actually slow you down How to build progress that fits your current season A blunt (but loving) reminder: your results reflect your effort The myth of waiting for the "right time" How I ask for help when I'm overwhelmed and why that's been a game changer The real key to staying consistent (hint: it's not doing everything every day)   Links Join our Community in our Free Lounge Room  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2725813180892457 Subscribe to our Journal and follow along with the latest  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sisterhoodchronicle Join the next Mastermind AAC  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sp-sales-page-3297-7396-3189 Sign up to my weekly "Power Note" newsletter https://sisterhoodcollective.com/ld_powernote Love, Laurie & Lauren xx =================  Sisterhood Collective Connect.

We're in an era where AI can write everything, but just because it can, doesn't mean it should. In this episode, I'm highlighting a powerful reminder that was sparked by a podcast I recently listened to, and a message I received that resonated so profoundly: people are craving real connection, not perfectly polished, auto-generated messaging. I am one of those, I want authentic connections. If you've been second-guessing your words, filtering your tone, or outsourcing your personality to tools like ChatGPT, this episode is for you. We'll unpack: How the overuse of AI is slowly eroding confidence and authenticity Why your real, messy, honest voice is the one that connects best A permission slip to ditch perfection and start trusting yourself again This isn't an anti-AI rant, I love a good tool (and yes, I've named mine). But it is a reminder that no tool is more powerful than your truth.   Links Join our Community in our Free Lounge Room  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2725813180892457 Subscribe to our Journal and follow along with the latest  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sisterhoodchronicle Join the next Mastermind AAC  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sp-sales-page-3297-7396-3189 Sign up to my weekly "Power Note" newsletter https://sisterhoodcollective.com/ld_powernote   Love, Laurie & Lauren xx =================  Sisterhood Collective Connect.

So many incredible women are reaching out to me lately, all saying the same thing in different ways: "I want more." Maybe you're feeling it too, that quiet pull toward something different. A new chapter. A new business. A life that feels more aligned. But you're not quite sure what that looks like or how to begin. In this episode, I'm breaking down what to do when you find yourself at that crossroad. Whether you're dreaming of the beach life, itching for freedom, or just craving stimulation and purpose again, this is your sign to stop ignoring the whisper. In this episode, I cover: Why so many of us feel stuck and overwhelmed by choice The exact questions to ask before you make a big life or business move How to tap into your network and environment to find clarity and support What to do if you're content but unsure if that's enough You don't need a 10-year plan. You just need one honest step. 🎧 Tune in and let's explore that next move together.   Join the Conversation: Loved this episode?

If you've been stuck in your head lately, questioning your decisions, doubting your path, and wondering if this is really the life you're meant to be living, this episode is for you. Today I'm joined by the incredible Naima Spencer, a mindset facilitator and coach who helps women build emotional resilience, rewrite the stories holding them back, and create real change from the inside out. This conversation dives deep into what it really means to be unshakable… not perfect, not fearless, but grounded in self-trust and truth. Whether you're navigating a major life shift or just craving more clarity and alignment, Naima's calm, powerful approach is a reminder that you're allowed to grow, evolve, and create a life that actually feels like yours. In this episode, we cover: Naima's personal journey and what led her into this work What being unshakable truly means and how to get there Why self-trust is essential (and how to rebuild it) The stories we tell ourselves… and how to rewrite them How to navigate fear, doubt, and the "wobble" Naima's Cut It.

In this episode, I'm diving into something that hits all of us from time to time… that stuck, uninspired feeling where life just feels a bit... meh. You're doing the right things, showing up, ticking the boxes, but it's not lighting you up anymore. If you're feeling flat or a little foggy, this is your reminder: it's not always your goals that need changing. Sometimes, it's your environment. You might be craving new energy, new people, new places, new stimulation; and this episode is here to help you recognise it and shift out of the rut. I'll take you through how I've done this in my own life (and continue to), and how small changes, like changing mentors, saying yes to a dog beach group, or just moving your body somewhere new, can change everything. In this episode, I cover: Signs you've outgrown your environment and why it sneaks up on you The 3 kinds of stimulation that can reignite your spark Why you need to design your next chapter before you hit burnout Real-life stories of walking away from what no longer aligned — and how it created space for so much more A powerful reflection tool to help you get clear and take the next step If you're ready to feel like you again, let's shake things up.

In this episode, I challenge the belief that your next big breakthrough lies in a perfect business idea. Spoiler: it doesn't. What you actually need is a mindset that backs you! One that fuels your confidence, gets you moving, and helps you show up even when it feels messy or uncertain. I'll take you through the origin story of Ultra CrossFit, a dream that was born in one of the hardest seasons of my life… and share the exact mindset shifts that helped me rebuild, restart, and realign when things weren't working.

Feeling stuck in the same old routine? You're not alone. Life can feel "fine" on the outside but inside, you might be feeling flat, uninspired, or like you've lost that spark that makes you feel you. In this episode, I'm sharing what helped me shake off the fog and get re-energised after a recent trip to Australia and New Zealand and why breaking out of your everyday norm might be exactly what you need right now. Whether you've been cancelling plans, avoiding the things you used to love, or just feeling a bit... blah, this is your nudge to do something different. To laugh again. Move again. Feel alive again.

Ever held back from taking action because you didn't feel ready? Waiting for confidence before making a move is a trap, and in this episode, we're breaking free from it. I'm sharing some of the biggest moments in my life where I had to back myself before I had proof it would work, including one decision that completely changed the trajectory of my business, and another that meant walking away from something "secure" with no backup plan. In this episode, we'll cover: - Why confidence isn't about being fearless (and what it really takes to build it). - The difference between fear that protects you and fear that holds you back. - What to do when no one else believes in you. - The simple formula that will help you take action now, not someday. If you've been waiting for confidence before making a move, it's time to flip the script. Your Challenge: This week, I want you to take one bold step before you feel ready. Maybe it's starting that project, speaking up, or making a decision you've been overthinking. Join the Conversation: Come share your bold move in the Sisterhood Lounge Room so we can celebrate together. Remember, small steps lead to big wins.

Do you ever catch yourself looking for validation, whether it's through likes, comments, or the approval of others? In this episode, I delve into what it really means to stop seeking external validation and start trusting yourself. I share personal experiences of breaking free from people-pleasing, learning to build confidence as a skill, and why rejection is often the redirection we need. We'll unpack the sneaky ways we hold ourselves back and, more importantly, how to break the cycle. If you're tired of letting other people's opinions dictate your choices, this episode is for you. In this episode, I cover: Why external validation keeps us stuck (and how to shift our mindset). The truth about confidence, it's not a trait, it's a skill. How to stop people-pleasing and start making choices that align with you. Why rejection isn't the end, it's actually a fresh start in disguise. Actionable steps to build self-trust and own your decisions. Join the Conversation: I'd love to hear your reflections! Come share your wins in the Sisterhood Lounge Room.

Sometimes the biggest growth comes from letting go. In this episode, I share my decision to step away from my role as a mentor at Two Brain Business after seven years. It wasn't an easy choice—Two Brain has been a huge part of my journey, shaping me as a leader, business owner, and mentor. But when I sat down to plan for 2025, I realised it was time to reallocate my time and energy toward my own goals and growth. Leaving a safety net—whether it's a job, relationship, or commitment—can feel scary, but it's often the key to leveling up. I dive into why we hold onto things that no longer serve us, how to trust yourself when stepping into the unknown, and how I'm approaching this next phase of my journey.   Links Join our Community in our SC Lounge Room  https://www.facebook.com/groups/2725813180892457 Subscribe to our Journal and follow along with the latest  https://sisterhoodcollective.com/sisterhoodchronicle Love, Laurie & Lauren xx =================  Sisterhood Collective Connect.

In this episode, I share how one simple word is reshaping my life in 2025 and what it really means to reclaim your strength by putting yourself first. Staying true to your path often means making tough decisions and saying no, setting boundaries, and letting go of what no longer serves you. I'll take you through the lessons I've learned and how you can apply them to your own journey. I'll take you through a powerful conversation I had with a friend who's rebuilding her life and struggling with over-giving to everyone else. I'll also share my own experience of burnout and how I learned the importance of protecting my time, energy, and dreams. If you've been feeling stretched too thin or caught up in obligations, this episode is your reminder that saying no to what drains you is actually saying yes to the life you deserve. In this episode, I cover: Why I chose my word for the year and what it means to me. The danger of over-giving and the importance of short-term goals when rebuilding. My personal story of burnout and how it changed the way I prioritise my time and energy. The power of boundaries and knowing when to walk away from jobs, friendships, or commitments that no longer align. How "decluttering" your life; people, responsibilities, and distractions, can create space for your dreams to thrive. Join the Conversation: I'd love to hear your reflections and wins!
