The Nope Coach

In this episode, I'm talking about the part of growth nobody glamorises online. Not the breakthroughs. Not the wins. The bruise pokes.

The moments where stretching into something new lights up the oldest, rawest stories you thought you'd already healed.

In this episode I discuss:

• Why growth often reactivates old abandonment and rejection wounds.
• How your body confuses present-day expansion with past danger.
• Why tenderness doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong.
• The myth of "if I were confident enough, this wouldn't bother me."
• How to meet the bruise without shrinking, spiralling, or fixing.
• Simple ways to soothe the younger parts of you that panic when things get bigger.

This is a grounded, real conversation about the messy emotional underbelly of transformation.

If you've ever wondered why getting what you want can still feel wobbly, raw, or "too much," this one's for you.

We glorify finishing, the neat endings, the polished goodbyes, the stories that wrap up with a bow. But most endings aren't neat. They're quiet, messy, or gut-wrenching.

This episode is for the part of you that knows something's done, but keeps hoping you can fix it, revive it, or make it pretty. Whether it's a job, a friendship, a creative project, or a whole identity, there's a moment when you realise: "If it costs me peace, it's already too expensive."

In this episode I discuss:

• The myth of the tidy ending (and why we chase it).

• The moment you know you're done, not when it's over, but when it's draining you.

• How to hold the grief tangled up with the relief.

• Why letting go is the most honest kind of self-respect.

You'll leave this one feeling lighter and maybe ready to finally call DONE on something that's been weighing you down.

This one's for everyone who's ever been labelled "too loud, too direct, too intense, too much." In this episode I rant (lovingly) about:

• Why "too much" is rarely about you and always about them.

• Boundaries 101: you're not responsible for other adults' inboxes or podcast apps.

• How to stop shrinking to fit someone else's comfort zone.

Ever feel like business is just one long game of "try this, ditch that, oh hell no not again"? In this episode, I share the very real highs and lows of experimenting with new platforms, specifically my fresh leap into Skool (yep, spelled S-K-O-O-L).

I talk about:

• The difference between busywork and needle-moving work.

• Why I left Facebook groups (and why I missed them).

• What Skool feels like compared to the "old Facebook days."

• How I'm using theme days like Messy Monday and F*ck Yeah Friday to spark real conversation.

• The gamification element, from Silent Supporter to Nope Ninja, and why prizes make it fun.

• The deeper invitation: stop people-pleasing, stop performing, and start being unapologetically YOU!

Whether you're curious about Skool, craving connection, or just need permission to step into your own Done Era, this episode will give you both laughs and a nudge to do things your way.

After nearly 500 episodes, my podcast almost broke me. What started as pure joy, 100 episodes in 100 days, no rules, no pressure, slowly turned into a slog under the weight of "expert" advice. Thumbnails, guests, episode lengths, SEO, every new rule was another brick in my backpack.

In this episode, I share how I nearly quit, what finally snapped me out of it, and why I'm choosing my own destiny from here on out. No more outsourcing my intuition. No more performing for approval. Just me, my mic, and a whole lot of Done Era energy.

If you've got a project that once lit you up but now feels heavy, maybe you're not broken. Maybe the rules you've been trying to follow were never meant for you.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• The moment my podcast stopped feeling like mine.

• Why well-meaning (and not-so-well-meaning) advice can steal your spark.

• How outsourcing your intuition dilutes your joy.

• What "choose your own destiny" energy looks like in practice.

• An invitation to reclaim the creative thing you thought you'd lost.
