🎙 NEW EPISODE — Season 2 Finale: Salima Saxton

From centre stage to the school gate and back again, actress / writer / podcaster / coach, Salima shares how she reawakened her creative life after years on mute by writing her way back to herself.

🔥 She talks about wanting to do big things.
🔥 The propulsive power of women’s anger.
🔥 And why she’s done with the myth of “balance.”

“Balance is overrated. A poison chalice. If you want to do something big, it’s going to be messy.”

If you’ve ever felt like you left parts of yourself behind—this one’s for you.

🎧 💌 📮 We’re opening the mailbag to respond to your (occasionally panic-tinged) everywoman questions about navigating the midlife career odyssey:

🚣 How do you stay the course for change when the sirens of the familiar sing so sweetly?

🐎 How do you find space to think about change, experiment and network when the everyday mounts its endless Trojan assault?

⛹️‍♀️ And how do you keep up with tech when it’s moving at Hermes’ pace and you’re still lacing your sandals?

Listen as we answer these questions with wisdom borrowed from some fellow travellers AAundrea Cline-Thomasand .jobs

We asked Hannah McCracken what she'd tell her 30 year old self...

"I'd tell her 'Put your shoulders squarely against the fear'. At the age of 30, I still had moments where things would come up with work or with life, where I would literally feel my body slightly putting a shoulder at an angle to it, which I think is a bit of a protective thing that I do mentally, and I've learned more and more how important it is to face challenges square on. To literally open your body and your mind to what's about to happen. Because to take that brute force and impact of something difficult is actually much easier to do when you face it square on.

I think I'd also probably say to her, don't wear such high heels. My back has never forgiven me..." 🤣 👠
