I'm Fine (but...)

How much of the woman you are today was decided before you were old enough to question it? The things we hear as little girls. The roles we see women playing. The expectations about how we should behave, what we should prioritise and how ambitious we're allowed to be. They don't just disappear when we grow up. They follow us into the workplace, influence how we see ourselves and can even shape whether we believe we're capable of starting a business of our own. In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), Rose sits down with Shanice from Haus of SC to unpack the beliefs we've inherited, the expectations women are still navigating and what it takes to challenge the stories we've been telling ourselves. Because what if the life you really want isn't out of reach? What if you've just been taught not to reach for it?

Nobody tells you how much it hurts when the people you trust in business are the ones who let you down. You can spend years building something, putting your heart into your work and believing in the people around you only to find yourself questioning your judgement, your confidence and whether you can trust anyone again. And when it happens, how do you move forward without letting the experience change the way you show up in business? In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), Rose sits down with Julia from Take Up Space Coaching for an honest conversation about betrayal in business, the emotional impact it can have and why setting boundaries matters more than we sometimes realise. They explore the challenges of having an opinion, navigating difficult business relationships, understanding our emotional responses and finding a way forward when trust has been broken. Because protecting your peace doesn't mean making yourself smaller — and having a voice in business shouldn't come at the cost of your wellbeing.

Can becoming a mum change you so much that you barely recognise yourself? Motherhood can bring a love you never knew was possible. But it can also bring unexpected challenges, changes to your identity and feelings you might struggle to put into words — especially when you think you're supposed to have it all figured out. And what happens when motherhood doesn't look the way you imagined? In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), Rose sits down with Nikki Steele Osborne, also known as The Scottish Soul Sister, to talk about her experience of becoming a mother at 41, navigating postpartum depression and finding a deeper understanding of herself through motherhood. They explore the importance of mental health, self-awareness and understanding our children — and why being honest about the difficult parts of motherhood matters just as much as celebrating the good. Because becoming a mum changes you. But you deserve the space to understand who you're becoming, too.

Having children shouldn't mean having to choose between being a good parent and having a career. So why does it so often feel that way? For so many parents, returning to work means navigating childcare, rigid working hours, the school run and the constant feeling that you're letting someone down at home or at work. And when the jobs available don't fit around family life, what are you supposed to do? Give up your ambitions or try to squeeze everything into a life that was never designed for you? In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), Rose sits down with Evie Squires, founder of Mother of All Jobs, to explore the challenges parents face when looking for flexible work and the opportunities emerging as the world of employment changes. They discuss the changing landscape of work, the impact of AI bias and the rise of self-employment — and why we need to rethink the way work fits into family life. Because wanting to be present for your children doesn't mean you're less ambitious. And having a family shouldn't mean putting your career dreams on hold.

What if the thing that makes you different is actually the thing that makes your business stand out? It's easy to look at other people's success and wonder whether you need to sound more professional, look more polished or follow someone else's formula to get ahead. But in trying to fit the mould, are we losing the very thing that makes us memorable? In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), Rose sits down with Caroline Keylock to explore how she moved from corporate strategy into storytelling consultancy and how she's empowering midlife women through sport. They discuss the power of storytelling in business, why your experiences can become one of your greatest assets and the importance of pursuing joy without turning everything into another performance. Because your story isn't something you need to hide to be taken seriously. It can be the very thing that connects you with the people you're meant to reach.
