Reclaim Your Voice

What if the hardest thing you've ever been through isn't something to recover from, but something to build from?
In this episode I'm joined by Leah Wren, the Comeback Story Coach, who helps mums in business make an incredible income without it costing their time with their children or their healing. Leah's work sits at the intersection of nervous system regulation, subconscious identity work, and business strategy, and the combination is unlike anything I've heard before.
Leah shares the deeply personal story of her daughter Maggie May, who was born with leukaemia and died at just 18 months old, and how that experience, along with years of burnout as a social worker and eventually becoming a single mum, shaped everything she now teaches. This is a conversation about grief, identity, worthiness, and what it actually takes to build a business that works for your life, not against it.
We cover:
Why the women who've lived through the hardest chapters are often the ones capable of building the most extraordinary businesses
How subconscious patterns and money mindset quietly shape every decision you make in business, without you realising it
Why your nervous system won't let you hold on to income your identity doesn't believe you deserve
The real cost of playing it safe, to your body, your family, and your future
Why pretending you're fine is the most dangerous strategy of all
What rest actually is (and why exhaustion and collapsing are not the same thing)
What reclaiming your voice really means when you've spent years saying what you think you should say
Leah's honesty in this episode is extraordinary. If you've ever felt like you're swimming upstream in your own life, this one is for you.

This week I'm sharing a taster from the very first live session of The Voice Collective, my brand new group coaching programme which just launched. I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most requested topics inside my VOICE framework: what actually happens to your voice, physically, when nerves take over.
You'll learn why your voice can go higher pitched, thinner, or shaky under pressure, and why none of that has anything to do with your knowledge, your competence, or your character. It comes down to your nervous system and the vagus nerve, and once you understand the mechanics, you can start working with your body instead of against it.
In this episode:
What happens in your body when the fight, flight, or freeze response kicks in
Why the vagus nerve directly affects your vocal folds under perceived threat
The difference between chest breathing and diaphragmatic breathing, and why it matters for your voice
Why pushing your voice into an unnatural register can cause real vocal strain over time
The reframe that changes how you think about a wobbly voice for good

What if the reason you're stuck has nothing to do with strategy, effort, or ability?
In this episode of Reclaim Your Voice, I'm joined by Rachael Parland, known as Rachael Rocco. She's a four-time number one bestselling author, identity alchemist, and mental health empowerment mentor who helps people break free from the subconscious patterns that have been running the show since childhood.
Her message is simple. When you change your identity, you change your life.
We talk about why so many capable, driven women hit a ceiling they cannot seem to break through, what the subconscious mind is actually doing when you try to move forward and can't, and the groundbreaking research Rachael is doing with a neuroscientist to show that this work creates visible, measurable changes in the brain.
Rachael also opens up about her own extraordinary journey through grief and what reclaiming her voice has truly looked like for her.
If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but something invisible keeps pulling you back, this one is for you.
In this episode:
Why limiting beliefs form between the ages of 0 and 7 and how they follow you into adult life
The difference between mindset work and identity work
What happens in the nervous system when you're triggered into an old pattern
Why even the most successful women can hit a subconscious glass ceiling
The connection between language, identity, and behaviour
The neuroscience research Rachael is doing to validate this work
Her work with neurodivergent young people in schools
The books that started Rachael's own journey
What reclaiming her voice has looked like in her own life
Books mentioned:
The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari by Robin Sharma
The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield

I got back from a retreat last weekend at Carr Castle in Halifax with my mentor Matt Hall and a room full of incredible founders and entrepreneurs. And I came home with something I couldn't wait to share with you.
In this episode I'm taking you through the whole weekend, the highlights, the wobbles, the conversations I wasn't expecting, and the clarity I landed on by Sunday evening that has sharpened everything about how I talk about my work.
But this isn't just a retreat debrief. Because everything that happened over those three days kept pointing back to the same thing. What becomes possible for you when you stop letting nerves run the show.
We talk about:
Why setting intentions out loud in a room full of people does something powerful to your nervous system
What actually happened when I tried and failed to switch off mid-launch
How a conversation by the pool that nobody planned became the most valuable moment of the weekend
The breathwork session that left me completely still, and what that feeling has to do with how your audience experiences you when you speak
What changes in your business when your voice stops getting in the way
Why the most successful people in the room weren't the most qualified, they were the ones who could communicate
If you have ever walked into a high-stakes moment and felt your nerves take over. If you have been turning down speaking opportunities, stumbling through sales calls, or sitting on a message you're not quite ready to share yet. This episode is for you.

Why Your Voice Matters More Than You Think with Kirsty Mason

What if the thing keeping you invisible in your business isn’t your strategy, your content, or your offer, but an identity you’ve quietly outgrown?

In this episode, I’m joined by Kirsty Mason, identity coach for ambitious women and former British Sign Language interpreter. Kirsty spent 24 years as the voice for other people before she discovered that her own deepest limiting belief was that she wasn’t important enough to be heard. Now she helps women rewire exactly that.

We go deep on what’s actually going on when you keep telling yourself you need more confidence, more qualifications, or more proof before you’re allowed to take up space. And the answer might surprise you.

In this episode we cover:

•What identity coaching actually is and why strategy alone will never be enough
•How the subconscious mind creates a belief system that quietly runs your business decisions
•The invisible barriers deaf people face every day that hearing people never notice
•Why Kirsty spent 24 years putting herself in the shadows and the moment that changed
•What your nervous system has to do with hitting income goals (and why it might be sabotaging you)
•How to “take your thoughts to court” and find the evidence for what you actually believe
•The difference between surface-level visibility and true identity-level change
•What reclaiming your voice really means, and why it starts in childhood
