In this weeks episode, I’m dismantling the fear that creeps in when you stop dieting. The fear of eating everything in sight, of losing control, of “letting yourself go.”

And I’m showing you exactly why that fear isn’t your fault, it’s a byproduct of a system designed to keep women doubting themselves and stuck in the diet, binge cycle.

This is more than a chat about food. This is a reckoning with the rules that have been holding you hostage in your body, your business, and your life.

• Why dieting feels like safety (but is actually a trap)
• The real reason you're scared to stop trying to lose weight
• What “off the wagon” actually means and why it’s not failure
• How body mistrust leaks into your business, visibility, and leadership
• The myth of “healthy = thin” and why it’s total patriarchal bullsh*t
• Why trusting yourself with food is the gateway drug to trusting yourself everywhere

If you are:

Tired of bouncing between clean eating and pizza-fuelled guilt

Running a business (or career) while secretly still at war with your body

Wondering what comes after the food rules… and if you’ll ever feel normal again

Ready to lead without needing to be a size smaller first

Then this episode is for you!

Because your body isn’t the problem.

What does it really cost you when you avoid the camera? When you stay quiet in meetings? When you put off launching that offer or applying for that promotion because you don’t feel ready to be seen?

In this powerful and personal episode, I’m talking about the ways high-achieving, brilliant women in business and corporate erase themselves without even realising it, and how this im pacts your personal relationships too.

We unpack:

• How body image struggles silently sabotage visibility, confidence, and income
• Why skipping the brand photoshoot or LinkedIn post isn’t a neutral act
• What happens when your boss asks you to be more visible but your shame gets louder
• Why your legacy isn’t just about what you build, but whether you allow yourself to be seen building it
• And the heartbreaking truth about the photos you’re not in.

Whether you’re the face of your business or being asked to represent your company, this episode will challenge you to stop waiting for a thinner, prettier, younger version of you and start showing up as you are.

The patriarchy loves it when women hide in plain sight because it means we don't know our worth or ask for what we deserve.

Because hiding costs money, yime and energy and we can reclaim all of it.

The real reason you keep comparing yourself to other women — and how it’s quietly draining your confidence, your creativity, and your momentum.

You might be feeling stuck, invisible, or like everyone else is smashing it while you’re still figuring things out.

If thats you, this episode is where we explore what I really want you to know about the comparison spiral you're in:

You’re not behind.

You’re just on a different page.

This episode uncovers:

• Why comparison shows up even when you logically 'know better'
• How the patriarchy thrives on women comparing and shrinking themselves
• The sneaky way it steals your voice, visibility, and purpose
• A story from my own recent event that triggered a vulnerable shame spiral (yes I'm spilling the personal tea on this one)
• Five powerful reframes and actions to get you back in your lane

This isn’t a fluffy pep talk, it’s a call to come home to your own power, your own voice, and your own brilliance.

Because when women stop playing the comparison game, we stop playing small and that changes everything.

Let’s kick off season 2 with a truth most of us were never taught when we were little.

You don’t need to shrink your body to grow your business, your career or expand your life.

In this episode of the Unshakeable Confidence Podcast, I’m diving into one of the most common (and costly) lies we’ve been sold — that we have to change how we look before we’re allowed to show up, be visible, and have the life we want.

If you’ve ever delayed going live, avoided being photographed, or held back from launching something because of how your body looks, this episode is for you.

We’ll get into:

• Why you don’t have to wait for weight loss to be successful
• How the beauty and diet industries profit from your insecurity
• The invisible power leak happening when you hide from the camera or the room
• Why your body is not a barrier — it’s the vessel for your empire
• The real reason I created The Audacity (and how it's changing everything for the women already inside it)

This is not about pretending to love your body every day. It’s about no longer waiting until you look different to take up space, raise your rates, or lead the way you were born to.

You can build your empire in the body you have today.

And if you don’t, the world misses out.

If you want to deepen your confidence, dismantle the beliefs you have about your body and become an unstoppable woman then all you need to do is join the women already inside the Audacity. This is a private membership where you get weekly audio drops that make you go 'Hell yes, this woman gets it!' and access to live trainings each month and a community that is smashing the patriarchy and ripping up the rule book.

In this episode, I’m talking to Rae Pears about her incredible work with Girlhood Reclaimed, a community interest company challenging the misogynistic narratives that impact young women, girls and anyone who has been socialised into girlhood.

We dig into the reality of growing up in a world shaped by sexism and everyday misogyny shape girls’ lives in ways many adults don’t even realise. Rae shares why creating safe spaces for honest conversations is so important and how listening (really listening) to young people can make all the difference.

We also talk about body image, societal pressures, and why it’s time to stop telling girls to ‘just be more confident’ and start tackling the systems that make them doubt themselves in the first place.

If you care about making the world safer and more empowering for the next generation, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.

Let’s get into it.

About Rae Pears and Girlhood Reclaimed:

My career started at 18 in youth and community work, where I very quickly began to realise my passion for working alongside women and girls, especially in the field of sexual and domestic violence. After having my three children, I began to move more into this field through voluntary work and eventually becoming a volunteer service coordinator for a women’s mental health helpline. Two years ago I began my MA in Women and Child Abuse, which led me to leave my role in on the Helpline and set up my own community interest company, Girlhood Reclaimed. At Girlhood Reclaimed we aim to disrupt the growing dominance of misogynistic narratives through feminist research, awareness training, and safe spaces for young women, girls and non-binary folk, supporting them to make sense of their experiences and reclaim joy in their girlhood.

Hey, I'm your host and I hope you love this podcast as much as I do. I help women grow their business and career without keeping themselves small. Working on your confidence and self belief changes how you show up in the world but it's often something we just think we have or don't have. I show you how to tap into it and disrupt your inner critic so you can stop...

Women are constantly judged by their appearance especially clothing, yet style is rarely framed as a tool for empowerment. Samantha Harman joins me on the podcast to unpack the societal pressures surrounding what women wear, the mental load of outfit choices, and the double standards when it comes to using style as a business tool.

We explore how personal style is the over looked business tool you didn't know you needed. It’s about stepping into your power, owning your worth, and using your wardrobe as a strategic asset to build your authority in business.

If you're opening your wardrobe and feeling despair not delight, this episode is a full on mic drop moment for your brain.

Meet Samantha Harman

Samantha Harman, The Style Editor, helps women in business scale to 6 and multi-6 figures using their wardrobes as a money-making branding tool.

As a young woman from a working class background in leadership in an elitist, male-dominated industry, Samantha understood first-hand the disparity between how men and women are judged when it comes to dressing for work.

She also dealt with body image hang-ups, once cried in a dressing room as shop assistants laughed and was turned down for jobs at 3 fashion companies because she was plus size.

Samantha is on a mission to rid the world of the toxic normalisation of women being sold products based on the weaponisation of their bodies against them.

Her book, helping you understand why you have nothing to wear and what to do about it, is published in late 2025.
