  • I'm scared - and how I'm working with it

    I'm scared - and how I'm working with it
    Jun 12 2026
    Lately, I've been scared. Not scared of the world. Not scared of taking risks. Not even scared of hard work. I've been scared of hearing "no." After a season of pushing, advocating, creating and putting myself out there, I realised my heart was feeling a little tender. And when we're carrying disappointment, rejection or exhaustion, even simple asks can start to feel overwhelming. In this episode, I share what I've been noticing in myself, the fear of asking, why I was retreating instead of reaching out, and the mindset shifts helping me move forward. I also talk about the concept of 100 No's, Shoot Your Shot Wednesday, and how building resilience isn't about becoming fearless. It's about continuing to show up, even when you're scared. And also - learning my own message again of sometimes we have to REST in order to RECEIVE. Rest is also a strategy. These things can all work in together. If you've been holding back, avoiding the ask, or feeling vulnerable after a difficult season, this episode is for you.

  • Consultant: Identity Shift

    Consultant: Identity Shift
    May 29 2026
    Who am I now? And what do I actually want to be known for? Existential crisis incoming! Jokes! But I am sharing from a place of processing and letting you in behind the scenes as I'm in transition. And I hope, if you're in the same messy middle - this finds you and you feel very, very seen (or heard, it's a podcast after all!) I’m sharing the identity shift I’ve been moving through, from calling myself a coach to embracing the word consultant, and why that change feels deeply aligned with the work I’m doing today. I talk about the evolution of my personal brand, how I’ve gone from running Lovelly Communications to becoming The Bleisure Coach, and now focusing in on the Retreats side of my business in a consulting capacity, which all contributes to my bleisure life. Also, as you can see, why being multi-passionate can sometimes make it harder for people to describe what you do. This episode was sparked by a powerful realisation during one of my retreats in India, a conversation with my own mentor, and a simple social media question asking people: “How would you describe what I do?” The answers were beautiful, surprising, emotional, and incredibly revealing. If you’ve ever felt like you’re evolving beyond your current title, this episode is for you.

  • Wellness Travel with Neil Sullivan

    Wellness Travel with Neil Sullivan
    May 19 2026
    We hear the word wellness everywhere right now. Saunas. Ice baths. Supplements. Morning routines. But what if we’ve overcomplicated it? In this episode, I sit down with Neil O’Sullivan, founder of Nimbus Co, to unpack what wellness really looks like. Beyond the trends, the aesthetics, and the pressure to “get it right.” What does wellness mean to you? We talk about mental health, burnout, building a business, and why chasing the perfect routine might actually be the thing that's continuing the burnout. This is a grounded, honest conversation about what it actually means to feel well, in your body, your mind, and your life. We also explore the huge rise in wellness travel and how that impacts not only the retreat industry, but how local businesses can bring the feeling of wellness travel to home. Because wellbeing isn’t something you achieve. Being well is.

  • Mexico ... experience vs reality

    Mexico ... experience vs reality
    May 14 2026
    Mexico ... experience vs reality Mexico has held a special place in my heart since I first lived there in 2009, and returning six years after our cenote wedding felt emotional, surreal, beautiful… and honestly, more confronting than I expected. In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind our return to Mexico in April 2026 with our five-year-old son: recreating our underwater wedding photo shoot, speaking Spanish and reflecting on how I learnt to 17 years, navigating travel exhaustion, dealing with chaotic travel moments, and rediscovering what I truly love about Mexico. This isn’t just about travel. It’s about identity, purpose, expectations versus reality, slowing down, reconnecting to culture and nature, and creating a Bleisure Life that actually feels aligned. I also share why this trip confirmed something big for me: I'm finally ready to host a retreat in Mexico! If you’ve ever romanticised a place, questioned whether travel still feels the same, or wondered what it really looks like to blend business, travel and life, this episode is for you.

    Manifesting a bleisure life with Isabel Chen
    May 7 2026
    What happens when you combine strategy, creativity, and the courage to actually take action? In this episode, I’m joined by Isabel Chen , founder of Fairy Fox Digital and someone I’ve had the joy of working with through my retreats and watching grow over the past few years. Isabel shares her journey from working as a biochemist to building a content marketing business that helps founders turn podcasts, blogs, and videos into powerful, strategic content (without sounding robotic). But this isn’t just about business. We talk about: - Taking action (instead of just learning) - The power of retreats and creating space - Celebrating small wins (and why it changes everything) - Manifestation, mindset, and writing your future into reality - Why repurposing content is more than just copy-paste And honestly? This episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t come from doing more… it comes from choosing your own path and focusing on it, that’s the power of attraction, desire and turning your dreams into reality.

  • Travel Reminders & lessons from Colombia 🇨🇴

    Travel Reminders & lessons from Colombia 🇨🇴
    Apr 29 2026
    Recording this episode from Bogotá airport (with less-than-perfect audio but very real travel energy), I’m sharing what it actually looks like to live a Bleisure lifestyle on the move. This wasn’t a “perfectly planned” trip. It’s had surprises, ups and downs. And as always full of lessons I didn’t expect. From navigating altitude sickness in one of the world’s highest capital cities, to making last-minute travel decisions based on “travel maths,” to being welcomed by the family of a friend in Colombia… this episode is a reminder that travel isn’t just about destinations, it’s the gift it gives - of perspectives and lessons. I also share what it’s like traveling as a family across multiple continents, thinking in two languages, and why sometimes… you really should just look at a map first 🤣🤦‍♀️. If you’ve ever wondered what multi-country, multi-continent travel actually feels like in real life, this is it. This is my #bleisurelife - and I can’t wait to see you design yours

  • Emodied intuition with Stacey Webb

    Emodied intuition with Stacey Webb
    Apr 21 2026
    We’re often told to trust logic. To follow what makes sense. To do what we’re “supposed” to do. But what happens when your body is telling you something different? In this episode, I sit down with intuitive somatic mentor and author Stacey Webb to explore what it really means to trust your intuition and why so many of us have lost connection to it. We talk about nervous system safety, conditioning, people-pleasing, and the journey of coming back to yourself. This is an honest, grounded conversation about learning to listen, not just to your mind, but to your body, your feelings, and your inner knowing. Also make sure to check out Stacey’s latest book - Embodied Grace, it just hit #1 on Amazon!
