  • Why Women Are Exhausted: Understanding Mental Load with Professor Leah Ruppanner
    Jun 5 2026

    Why are women so exhausted? Professor Leah Ruppanner explains the invisible mental load women carry every day - from planning and organising to worrying and responsibility-holding.

    We explore the eight types of mental load, why women become the default managers of family life, the impact of social judgment and gender expectations, and practical ways to reclaim energy for what matters most.

    A validating, research-backed conversation for every working mum who feels mentally and emotionally overloaded.

  • I Teach Leadership for a Living. My Son's School Suspension Unravelled Me in Seconds
    May 22 2026

    I teach leadership for a living. So when I got a phone call from school telling me my son had been suspended, I should have been able to handle it, right?

    Within seconds, I was unravelling. Shame flooded in before logic had a chance, my people pleaser came online and every piece of leadership work I'd ever done on myself went quiet.


    In this episode, I'm sharing something deeply personal with my son's full permission. Because what happened next and how my family navigated it taught me more about emotional regulation, personal leadership, and parenting than any professional training ever has.

    We cover:

    - Why home is often the hardest room to lead in and why that's not a failure

    - What shame does to our nervous system and why it arrives before logic

    - How to regulate yourself before you respond, and why that changes everything

    - Why the people we love most can trigger us most deeply

    - What Leading on All Fronts® looks like when it's tested most

    This one is for the high-achieving woman who holds everything together professionally and finds that home is the place that undoes her most quickly.

    Whether your children are two months or twenty-two years old, this episode will stay with you.

  • Still Not Feeling Like Yourself? What Every Mum Needs to Know About Postnatal Depletion
    May 8 2026

    Still not feeling like yourself even though your baby is months or years old? You're not imagining it. And you're not failing.

    In this episode, Nicky Lowe shares her own experience of burnout and exhaustion after her first child - the years it took to get answers, and the moment she finally found the language for what had happened to her.

    Drawing on the work of Dr. Oscar Serrallach (The Postnatal Depletion Cure), Nicky explores why postnatal depletion can last up to ten years after having a baby, why high-achieving women are so often dismissed when they say something is wrong, and what you can do, starting today, to begin rebuilding.

    This episode is for new mums navigating the blur of early motherhood, women further into the journey who are still waiting to feel like themselves, and anyone who manages someone returning from parental leave.

    You'll come away with:

    A clear understanding of what postnatal depletion actually is and why it's so much more than tiredness

    Why willpower and mindset alone won't fix this

    Five practical steps to start supporting your system right now

    Whether your baby is six weeks old or six years old - this one is for you.
