In this special International Women’s Day episode of The SHE Collective Podcast, Ro is joined by two of the women behind the scenes of the community — Victoria and Lucinda.

Together they have an honest conversation about the realities of being a woman today. From the mental load and invisible labour many women carry, to body image, identity and the pressure to do it all, this episode explores the parts of womanhood that don’t often get talked about openly.

They also discuss the power of female friendship, community and support, and why spaces where women can be honest about their experiences matter more than ever.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way, or like you’re carrying more than anyone sees, this conversation will resonate.

In this episode we discuss:

• The mental load many women carry
• Body image and breaking free from diet culture
• Losing and rediscovering your identity
• The pressures of modern womanhood
• Why supportive female communities matter

The Power of Calling Out Your Own BS

In this episode, Ro talks about the power of gently calling yourself out on your own BS and why honesty can sometimes be the most supportive step towards positive change. After a long winter of slower routines and lower energy, Ro shares how to recognise when it’s time to shift gears and begin rebuilding momentum in a realistic and sustainable way.

Ro explores the difference between compassion and avoidance, and explains how small, practical actions can help you move forward without pressure or extremes.

In this episode, Ro covers:

• Why winter softness isn’t wrong - but staying there too long can leave you feeling stuck
• The difference between compassion and avoidance
• How to recognise when you're ready for a shift
• Practical tools to help rebuild momentum
• Raising your minimum standards instead of chasing perfection
• Making small actions visible and achievable
• Using identity and future vision to guide change

If you're ready to shift gears this spring, Ro invites you to join Spring Into Action, a free 5-day challenge designed to help you rebuild momentum with simple workouts, mindset support and small daily actions.

If you’ve ever felt like you start strong with your health habits… only to fall back into old patterns - this episode is for you.

In this honest solo conversation, Ro unpacks why self-sabotage isn’t about lack of discipline - it’s often about coping.

You’ll learn how nervous system overload, all-or-nothing thinking and comfort-seeking behaviours can quietly pull you off track - and how to interrupt the pattern with more compassion and support.

The Cycle of Self-Sabotage

Many women move through this cycle without realising:

1. Seeking comfort
2. Feeling relief
3. Guilt
4. Self-criticism
5. Giving up

Understanding the cycle is the first step to breaking it.

In This Episode

• Why self-sabotage is protective, not destructive
• The link between comfort-seeking and nervous system load
• How shame keeps the cycle going
• Simple ways to rebuild momentum when you feel off track
