This solo episode of Leading You is for anyone sitting in a role that technically works—but no longer feels right.

If you’ve ever felt quietly disconnected, like you’ve outgrown your role but feel guilty for even thinking it... this episode will hit home.

You're not ungrateful. You're evolving.
And recognising that? That’s not arrogance. That’s power.

In this raw and relatable episode, Julie explores:
Why saying “I’ve outgrown this” isn’t something to feel bad about
The hidden fears that keep capable leaders stuck
What misalignment really feels like—and why it matters
How self-awareness is your power source
One question to help you realign with the leader you are now
Why staying stuck out of obligation leads to resentment and burnout
How to move forward with purpose and clarity

If your work no longer lights you up, if you're delivering but feel disconnected, this is your invitation to stop shrinking and start choosing.

🎧 Listen now and reflect on this question:
Where in your life or career are you shrinking to fit something you’ve outgrown? And what would shift if you stopped apologising for it and started choosing from it?

Leading you is hosted by Julie Hyde, an entrepreneur, corporate drop out and passionate leader. Julie knows one thing: you can’t control what happens to you but you can control how you respond. It’s why Leading You is important.

Each week, guests share their secret sauce. They reveal their roadmaps to success. How they’ve stayed anchored to who they are, insights into their courage and resilience and how to be emotionally and behaviourally agile. It’s a conversation, not an interrogation, and you’ll hear the human side of household names.

Why Knowing You’re Ready for More Isn’t a Problem - It’s Power

What if the voice holding you back wasn’t you—but “Bob”?

In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by Gary Waldon—author, speaker, and self-described “serial reinventor.” With 44 job titles under his belt, Gary knows a thing or two about embracing change, even when fear is loud and clarity is lacking.

We talk about the messy, brave, and ultimately freeing process of personal reinvention. Gary introduces his CREATE method—a practical, human-centred framework to help you move forward, even when you don’t have all the answers.

This is an honest, grounded conversation about what it takes to let go of what’s no longer working, reframe failure, and take aligned action.

In this episode, we explore:
How to recognise when it’s time to reinvent yourself
Why naming your inner critic (“Bob”) helps you take your power back
The CREATE method for personal reinvention
How to move forward even when fear is in the room
Why comparison is the fastest way to feel stuck
How AI mirrors our own fears around identity, growth, and purpose

If you’ve been feeling restless, stuck, or like you’re meant for something more—this is your sign to pause, listen, and choose differently.

🎧 Listen now and ask yourself:
What’s one small step I can take today toward the version of me I haven’t met yet?

How to Master the Art of Reinvention

This is a must-listen episode - compelling, confronting, and deeply necessary.

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Vanessa Vershaw, a workplace psychologist and trusted advisor to executives and decision-makers across ASX 20 and Fortune 100 companies. Vanessa is a fierce advocate for gender equality and social justice, recently representing the APAC region at the 2025 World Woman Foundation in Davos, and recipient of the Momentum Trailblazer of the Year Award.

Together, we unpack the uncomfortable and often silenced issue of workplace bullying —particularly the kind that exists between women. Vanessa brings real insight into why bullying thrives even in the most progressive organisations, how silence and systems protect harmful behaviour, and what leaders must do to stop enabling it.

If you care about culture, integrity, and psychological safety in the workplace—you need to hear this.

What We Cover in This Episode
What workplace bullying really looks like today – beyond the obvious
Why bullying is often ignored, minimised, or denied by senior leaders
How HR processes can retraumatise instead of protect
The emotional cost of staying silent vs. speaking up
Why high-performing environments aren’t always safe environments
The difference between performative leadership and real accountability
What true leadership looks like when the stakes are high

02:15 – Vanessa’s journey and global impact
06:30 – What workplace bullying looks like today
12:00 – Power, silence, and systemic issues

If this episode stirred something in you, share it with someone who needs to hear it. The silence around bullying helps no one—and change starts when we choose to speak up.

The Sisterhood Paradox - Why Women Bully Women

We’ve been sold a version of “wealth” that’s all about money, milestones, and packed calendars. But what if true wealth had less to do with your income—and more to do with your alignment?

In this episode of Leading You, I’m joined by wealth and mindset coach Emma Lagerlow, author of Worthy & Wealthy and mum of four, to redefine what it means to live a rich, fulfilling life—on your terms.

We unpack the real cost of the juggle, how values and boundaries unlock freedom, and why choosing what matters most is the greatest investment you’ll ever make. Emma also shares tools from her book including the Wealth Audit and five pillars of a worthy & wealthy life: self-worth, purpose, wellbeing, financial empowerment, and time freedom.

If you’re tired of feeling stretched too thin—and ready to lead with clarity instead of chaos—this conversation is your reset.

In this episode, we explore:
What true wealth means in a world obsessed with productivity
How to shift from urgency to intentional leadership
Why values-based decisions create emotional resilience
The power of boundaries (especially the ones we keep with ourselves)
How to use a “wealth audit” to align your life with what really matters
Emma’s personal rituals for staying grounded, present, and focused
Why self-worth is the foundation of freedom

About Emma:

Emma Lagerlow is a wealth and mindset coach, author, podcast host, and mum of four. With 25+ years of experience in finance and marketing, she blends strategic thinking with soulful insight to help women break free from burnout and design lives of purpose, wellbeing, and financial empowerment.
