The last time you truly listened to your body might have been longer ago than you realize, just you and that quiet, steady wisdom humming beneath the surface.
It’s still there, whispering. Waiting for you to slow down and come close enough to hear it again.
In this week’s episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I sit down with the luminous Gemma Rose, a breathwork facilitator, coach, and spiritual entrepreneur who’s helping sensitive, multi-passionate humans reconnect with themselves and build lives that feel safe, aligned, and deeply fulfilling.
I first met Gemma a few years ago, and I’ve watched her journey from a high-performing startup founder to a grounded, embodied leader who truly walks her talk. She’s gone from burnout and hustle to building a thriving business rooted in softness, safety, and self-trust.
In our conversation, Gemma opens up about how her Saturn return, divorce, and the birth of her son all became catalysts for transformation and how breathwork became the anchor that helped her come back home to herself when everything else fell away.
If you’ve ever felt like the tools that used to work for you just don’t anymore, or you’re craving a gentler, more authentic way to live and lead, this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.

You know I talk about longevity all the time, right?
It's something I'm genuinely working toward every single day, being healthy and vibrant well into my later years. And I credit a lot of my thinking around this to reading books and watching documentaries that completely changed my perspective on aging.
So the other day, I was scrolling Instagram (as you do) and came across this wild ChatGPT prompt about living to 140. When AI analyzed centenarian populations in Blue Zones — regions like Okinawa, Sardinia, and Costa Rica — it didn't point to Mediterranean diets or daily walks as the key factor.
The surprising answer? Managing chronic stress matters more than anything else for longevity.
In this episode, I'm diving into seven principles that came from this analysis, and honestly, they resonated so deeply with how I already try to live. These aren't abstract concepts for decades from now, they're shifts you can make today that actually matter.
Because one line really hit me hard: so many people wait their whole lives to truly live, and by the time they give themselves permission, their body has already paid the price.

Can you believe it? The LifePilot Podcast just hit 100 episodes!
When I started this show, I had no idea where it would go. I just knew I wanted to create something real — something that would help ambitious women in their 40s and 50s stop putting their dreams on hold and start being the CEOs of their lives, not just their businesses.
100 conversations. 46,000+ downloads. And countless messages from you telling me how these episodes have shifted your perspective, given you permission, or helped you finally take that next step.
In this special milestone episode, I'm celebrating by taking you behind the scenes to share the top 10 episodes that have resonated most — the ones that sparked the most conversations, the most downloads, and the most "holy crap, this is exactly what I needed to hear" moments.
These aren't just lessons. They're invitations for you to stop waiting for permission and start leading your life like the CEO you were born to be.

I'm about to call out a pattern you've been living your entire life, one that's kept you safe, earned you praise, and slowly stolen your dreams.
You're the one everyone calls. The one who remembers the birthdays, manages the family calendar, organizes the holidays, handles the details, fixes the problems, keeps the peace. You're reliable, dependable, the glue that holds everything together.
And on paper, that sounds amazing, right?
Except here's what nobody tells you about being the responsible one: It's killing your dreams. Slowly, quietly, without you even realizing it's happening.
In this raw, honest episode, I'm naming something you've been living with your entire life but have never had the words for. And more importantly, I'm showing you exactly how to break free from it.
By the end, you'll understand why your dreams feel inconvenient, why you can't take real risks, and you'll walk away with the clarity and tools to reclaim your time, energy, and identity, without blowing up your life or abandoning the people you love.

Have you ever looked at your business revenue and thought, "Where the hell did all that money go?"
Maybe you hit six figures this year, or you're well beyond that. But when you look at your bank account, it doesn't feel like a six-figure business. The money came in, but it also went out, and you're left wondering if you're doing something terribly wrong.
If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re probably not doing anything wrong.
In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs never talk about: the five hidden places your profit is quietly disappearing.
By the end, you'll know exactly where your money is going, how to plug those leaks, and how to finally start keeping more of what you earn.
We’re not just talking about your business finances, we are actually focusing on you becoming the CEO of your entire life.

There’s no doubt we all love a big juicy goal setting session at the start of the year, one which wraps up all our hopes and dreams over the next 12 months.
You write them down with the best intentions, feel motivated for a few weeks to go after them, then realise it’s already the end of the month and you’ve done nothing about them?
You’re not alone. Research shows most people give up on their goals by day 23.
But here’s the good news: 90 days is the sweet spot. It’s long enough to create real momentum, but short enough for your brain to actually stay motivated and focused.
90-day sprints work so powerfully, and I go deep into why combining goals with intentions is the unfair advantage most people miss in this episode of the LifePilot Podcast.
This isn’t about hustling harder, it’s about aligning with brain science, building habits that stick, and creating real progress quarter by quarter.
Whether you're all energised and excited to have an amazing final quarter in 2025 or listening to this later, this framework will help you finally turn your big dreams into consistent action.

Do you ever feel like you’ve got all the knowledge, tools, and resources at your fingertips — yet you’re still stuck, not taking action?
We live in an age where AI can write your business plan, design your logo, draft your copy, and even map out your marketing strategy in minutes. But here’s the paradox: entrepreneurs now have endless ideas and zero clarity on what to actually do next.
The truth is, knowledge isn’t your problem anymore. Action is.
In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I’m unpacking the real reason so many entrepreneurs stall and how to break free from information overload by focusing on the one thing AI can’t replicate: you. Your unique skills, lived experiences, and personality are your unfair advantage. That’s where the money is, and that’s how you start building a business that truly pays you to be you.

Do you ever feel like your energy is all over the place, your brain has gone offline, or you’re suddenly more irritable than usual? You’re doing your best to juggle work, family, and life… but something just feels off?
I only recently realized I’ve likely been in perimenopause for two years, and connecting the dots was a total game-changer. Some days I’m on fire, focused, and energized; other days, brain fog and fatigue make even simple tasks feel impossible.
Navigating this transition while running a business and life has meant rethinking priorities, giving myself grace, and learning to show up differently. It’s not just about getting through the day, it’s about understanding what your body and mind need so you can actually thrive.
Whether you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or somewhere in between — this episode shares what I’ve learned, the shifts that help, and how to start showing up as the CEO of your energy, health, and life.

Do you ever dream about having multiple homes around the world but assume it's only possible much later in life?
For quite some time, this was just a dream written on our Life Canvas. Today, we’re holding the keys to a three-story villa with ocean views and rice paddy fields stretching endlessly beyond what will be our future home.
This is what happens when intention meets opportunity and how a casual walk down a street can completely accelerate your long-term vision.
So in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how this unfolded, from the moment I spotted construction happening down the road to negotiating lease terms, hiring lawyers, and setting up what we're calling our "Freedom House."

What if becoming a mother was the key to unlocking your most efficient and profitable business model?
For many entrepreneurs, having children feels like a limitation on their business dreams. But what if it could actually be the catalyst for creating something better?
I first met Instagram marketing educator Elise Darma years ago when we were both digital nomads in Portugal. It's been inspiring to witness her journey from working 8-10 hour days to running a profitable business in just 3-4 hours a day while pregnant with her second child.
In our conversation, Elise shares the messy truths, the systems that saved her sanity, and how she built her seven-figure business while intentionally choosing to slow down and design around her family life.
If you've ever wondered "Can I really do both — motherhood and meaningful business?" this is the conversation you need to hear.

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" in your business but nothing's moving forward?
You're creating offers, having conversations, showing up consistently, but it feels like there's an invisible block between you and your goals?
I just lived through exactly this for two months in Bali. Despite working on the business and having potential clients express interest, nothing was actually moving forward.
So in this raw and real episode, I share how I navigated this holding pattern without spiraling into panic and what mindset shifts actually created the breakthrough that followed.

Welcome to Amateurville. The good news? You can decide to turn pro anytime you want.
In this episode, I revisit an article I wrote back in 2017 about stepping out of amateur mode, updated with fresh perspective from my current growth phase.

Do you ever wonder how quickly life can shift when you stop forcing and start flowing?
Less than two weeks ago, I recorded one of my most raw episodes sharing the deeply challenging period I was experiencing during our lifestyle design experiment in Bali.
Now, I'm feeling lighter, freer, and more excited about my future than I have in months.
What changed wasn't just stepping back from work or our Singapore adventure, it was coming face to face with how I could view and change my situation.
I took time out and gave myself space to process all of my feelings and lived experiences.
I also invested in a 12-week program that has me facing uncomfortable truths about my next level growth needed, including a full-body clench moment that became my biggest gift.
In this episode, I share the four powerful methods I'm using to rewire myself for the growth that's coming.

Do you ever feel like you're constantly busy but your business isn't actually moving forward? You're really good at staying on top of the day-to-day tasks, but when it comes to having a clear strategy for growth... that's where things fall apart?
In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a monthly practice that's transformed how I (and the women in my Legends Club) show up as CEOs of our businesses and our lives.
It’s called the Monthly CEO Flight Plan Review. And it’s not just about your goals or your revenue. It’s about who you are becoming, how you show up, and whether your business is aligned with and supporting you to build the life you want.
Whether you’re on fire, struggling like crazy, or somewhere in the messy middle — this episode gives you a practical and meaningful review process to give you insight on what's working, reset what's not, and step into your next month with crystal-clear intention.

In this raw episode, I'm sharing exactly what our second month in Bali has been like as a family of three — from Leo's epic three-week daycare adjustment (complete with daily tears) to discovering I felt the least amount of freedom I've ever experienced, despite being in paradise.

What if hitting rock bottom was actually the beginning of everything? It’s often in these moments that we learn our greatest lessons.
For my guest, Milo Meldrum, she used it to build a thriving business that honors her season of life, even while she was sharing a one-bedroom flat , whose lounge she birthed her baby in!
In this episode, I sat down with the grounded and glowing Milo, a creative entrepreneur and mama of two, who turned her lowest moment into the launchpad for her now-thriving tallow skincare business.
Milo first started making her own tallow whip four years ago, to help with stretch marks from her first pregnancy, and then as a nappy rash cream for her son. When she couldn't find anyone selling it in New Zealand, she saw the gap in the market and decided to start her own business.
If you've ever felt torn between building your dreams and being present for your babies, Milo brings the kind of quiet wisdom that will show you it's possible to do both beautifully and on your own terms.

What if success didn’t have to mean striving, overworking, or doing more than you really want to? I sat down with the radiant and real Jess Pinili, an intuitive, straight-talking businesswoman who has built a thriving business around clarity, systems, and a whole lot of self-trust.
We dove into everything from why she refuses to follow cookie-cutter formulas, to how she gets more done in fewer hours — and why slowing down has made her more powerful than ever.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between doing it all and doing what matters, Jess brings the kind of grounded wisdom that will give you permission to come back to you.

Ever wake up in a cold sweat about an unanswered email? Or feel a persistent sense that you're missing something important in life but can't pinpoint what?
You might be experiencing "time anxiety"—a phenomenon that bestselling author Chris Guillebeau discovered affects people from teenagers to retirees, creating physical symptoms and deep existential unrest.
Chris shares insights from his research with 1,500 people and reveals the two types of time anxiety: existential (feeling like time is running out in life) and daily chaos (never having enough hours in the day).
More importantly, he offers practical solutions for shifting from trying to control time to being in relationship with it.
