The Most Fascinating Pivot I've Ever Seen feat Yasemin Trollope

This episode brings my four-part series on the essential pillars of sustainable success to a close. We’re finishing with the most underestimated pillar of all… identity.

You can have the energy, the strategy, and the mindset… but if your identity hasn’t caught up to the life or business you’re trying to build, you’ll keep hitting invisible ceilings.

In this episode, I unpack why identity is the lens through which every business decision is made, from pricing and leadership to visibility, risk, and growth. 

I dive into the origin of how we unconsciously play small and why so many founders stumble as they scale.  I also share the identity shifts that have made the biggest difference in my own journey.

This is a conversation about shedding old stories, building a bigger internal container, and stepping into the version of you who can actually hold the success you’re working towards.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still can’t quite break through to the next level, this episode is for you.

Identity Work: Meet Your Secret Saboteur {Success Pillars part 4}

In this week’s episode, I continue my four-part series on the core pillars of success for women in business. This week I’m focusing on mindset.

Mindset isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing positivity. It’s about how you navigate your inner world when things wobble…. because they will! Especially when you’re holding a lot.

I explore why mindset work is particularly critical for women, the subtle ways self-doubt shows up at leadership level, and how seemingly harmless thoughts can quietly stall momentum if left unchecked.

We talk about the difference between a normal mindset dip and a full-blown spiral, why resistance often appears right before growth, and how resilience is the real skillset founders need to cultivate.

I also share practical reflections on rest, boundaries, self-coaching, and why fun and pleasure are often the missing strategic levers in high-performing women’s lives.

Mindset To Make Millions: How To Navigate Self-Doubt {Success Pillars part 3}

Strategy doesn’t have to feel heavy, complicated or overwhelming, I promise!  

In this episode, my mission is to soften it for you.

As part two of my four-part series on the pillars, this week, I’m zooming in on smart strategy, and reimagining what strategy can look like when it’s designed to support you first.

In this conversation, I simplify strategy right down to its essence and explore why traditional, overly masculine approaches often leave women feeling stuck, scattered or burnt out, despite working incredibly hard.

I also share how strategy can become a sacred, supportive structure rather than a pressure-filled to-do list, and why clarity, not complexity, is what actually creates momentum.

If you’ve ever felt busy but not really moving forward, overwhelmed by planning, or unsure what to focus on next, this episode will help you reframe strategy as the bridge between where you are now and the life and business you actually want.
