Originally called Empower Sounds, the podcast has evolved and turned into Reclaiming Bossy! I’ve been called “bossy” many times in my life, often in a negative way. But through conversations with leaders, founders, and creators, I realised that so many of us share this “bossy” spark. I love the idea of reclaiming this word that’s been used to put people down and turn it into something empowering. Reclaiming bossy is a space to celebrate ambition, leadership, creativity, and the bold voices making things happen New episodes every monday <3

Its time for rebrand, heres why ...

Its time for a rebrand, this is the start of a new era…

For the last two and a half years, this podcast existed under the name Empower Sounds. It was about giving women a platform to share their stories. But somewhere along the way, I outgrew it, and it outgrew me.

This episode is the story of that evolution. It’s about what happens when you realise you’ve built something that no longer reflects who you are and how to grow with it

I’m talking about rebranding in every sense: your work, your image, your identity. Because the truth is, you’re allowed to reinvent yourself as many times as it takes to feel like you again.

It’s also about the word bossy, the one so many of us were called growing up and how reclaiming it became the heartbeat of this next chapter.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re in between versions of yourself, or that you’ve outgrown your current brand, this episode is for you.


Timestamps/ Chapters

00:00:40 – The Story Begins: How It All Started

00:01:00 – What Empower Sounds Was and What It Taught Me

00:05:00 – The Era of Reclaiming Bossy: Owning the Label

00:10:00 – The Art of Rebranding: When and How to Pivot

00:12:00 – Journal Prompt: What Have You Outgrown?

00:15:00 – The Five Types of Visualisation and Reinvention

00:19:20 – Perfectionism: The Silent Brand Killer


You’ll Learn

- How to know when it’s time to rebrand or evolve

- The difference between quitting and outgrowing

- How to reframe “bossy” into leadership energy

- Why your brand is meant to evolve as you do

- The mindset shift that makes change feel exciting

instead of scary

your fear of being seen is stopping you from living your dream life, heres why...

On today's episode of the pod I talk about the fear of being seen. This is something that has been something I have struggled with despite talking on camera for a few years now and something I think everyone should work on because it has impacts not just for content and visibility in the media , but also your ability to speak up at work or in your friendships and relationships.In my experience this fear comes from a safety and worthiness wound, and I share more about those today and what am doing to heal them both.

Beating the Men in Lycra Epidemic: Luca Kuhn on Cycling Fashion for Women

Why should women settle for cycling gear designed with men in mind?In this episode of Empower Sounds, I sit down with Luca Kuhn, founder of LUCA, the women’s cycling apparel brand redefining what it means to ride in style, comfort, and confidence.What started as an ick with the “men in Lycra epidemic” became the spark for Luca to create something new a fashion-forward cycling brand built for women, by women. Today, LUCA is more than apparel: it’s a community, a movement, and part of the women’s cycling revolution. What You’ll Learn in This Episode1. The “ick” that inspired LUCA and how frustration can fuel innovation2. Why women need cycling apparel that goes beyond men’s designs in smaller sizes3. The rise of CycleClubs and why they’re the new RunClubs4. How LUCA blends performance, fashion, and confidence in every piece5. Luca’s journey from cyclist to founder and lessons from building a purpose driven brand6. The importance of representation, community, and safe spaces in cycling Why This Matters1. The cycling apparel market was valued at $2.19B in 2024 and is forecasted to hit $3.36B by 2032.2. Women’s cycling clothing alone was valued at $1.23B in 2024 and expected to double by 2033.3. Yet, only 9% of UK women cycle weekly compared to 21% of men showing the need for better products, infrastructure, and representation.LUCA is stepping into that gap with stylish, functional gear and building a movement in the process.🔗 Connect with LUCAWebsite: https://www.rideluca.comInstagram: Ride_lucaInstagram (personal): lucakuhnTiktok: Ride_Luca🎧 Connect with Empower Sounds/MePodcast instagram : @empowersoundsMy Instagram: @maahika.sPodcast TikTok: @empowersoundspodcast My tiktok: @maahika.sLinkedIn: Maahika SinghFor collaborations and inquiries:team@empowersoundsmedia.com#WomensCycling #CyclingApparel #FemaleFounders #CycleClubs #CyclingFashion #Empowerment #StartupStories

You are not dumb, you just need to learn how to learn ...

If I could talk about only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be this: learning how to learn.This is the skill that changed everything for me. It’s what helped me go from being an average student to making the Dean’s List at university, graduating top of my class, and having my dissertation nominated for a national prize. It’s how I taught myself Spanish from scratch, despite not being able to learn French after seven years of school. It’s the foundation that helped me start my business, launch this podcast, move countries, and keep growing.In this episode, I break down what it really means to “learn to learn.” I talk about how no one is dumb, we just have to understand how our brains absorb information best. I always felt like a super average student but during COVID, I discovered different learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) and realised that when you learn to teach yourself things in a way that works for you, you can learn anything…In this episode we’ll cover:1) How to figure out whether you’re a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner2) How to actually improve your memory and retain more of what you study3) The formula for building consistency and self-discipline4) Practical methods for teaching yourself new skills, subjects, and even languagesToday´s episode is deeply personal and also one of the most practical I’ve ever recorded. These are the exact methods that took me from struggling with languages to fluently speaking Spanish, from average grades to thriving at university, and from confusion to clarity in my career. I’d love for you to listen and then share what resonates with you.Comment your thoughts below or in the podcast reviews so we can keep learning together as a community.Follow Empower Sounds Podcast:Instagram: @empowersoundsTikTok: @EmpowerSoundsPodcastFor collaborations and inquiries: team@empowersoundsmedia.comSubscribe here on YouTube for new episodes every Monday and comment below your learning style or any questions you have :)

If You’re a People Pleaser, This Is the Boundaries Episode You Need…

This episode is for anyone who’s ever struggled to say no, felt drained from over giving, or finds boundaries intimidating…

Today im telling you everything you need to know to start developing and painting boundaries: what they are, why they matter, and how to actually set and keep them. We’ll talk about the different types of boundaries (not just for others, but for yourself too), how to define them, communicate them clearly, and enforce them without guilt.

This isn’t just about relationships or friendships — it’s about your self-esteem, your work life, your emotional health, and your sense of worth. These are lessons I’ve learned through a year of therapy and real-life trial and error, things I wish I knew sooner 

💬 Let me know in the comments if this hits home or if there’s anything else you want me to cover in a future episode :)

This Will Change the Way You Think About Confidence – with Giulia Sale

In this episode, I sit down with Giulia Sale, TEDx speaker, confidence coach, and founder of The Art of Bragging, to explore confidence from every angle — and why it might just be the most important skill you ever learn.


We talk about:

💭 The limiting beliefs keeping you stuck

🧠 The body language of confidence

🧍‍♀️ How to feel confident in your body

💼 Owning your worth at work

🛑 The importance of setting boundaries

🔄 … and how to actually respect other people’s boundaries too


Confidence isn’t something you’re born with — it’s something you build.And in a world facing a very real confidence gap, especially for women, this conversation is a must-listen.


I hope this episode gives you the tools, reminders, and motivation to stand taller, speak louder, and take up the space you deserve. Let me know your thoughts in the comments — I’d love to hear from you.

Can Gut Health Heal PCOS? How Tanya Reversed Her Symptoms and Now Helps Women Do the Same

In today’s episode, we dive deep into a powerful story of healing, resilience, and entrepreneurship.

In the first half of the conversation, Tanya shares her personal journey of being diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) — a condition that affects 1 in 10 women worldwide. She opens up about the emotional and physical toll it took on her, from painful periods to hair loss and a wide range of debilitating symptoms.

Through the lens of holistic health, Tanya explains how she completely reversed her PCOS symptoms naturally, using Ayurveda and gut health strategies. She talks candidly about what worked, how she healed her body from the inside out, and the key shifts that helped her reclaim her health — without relying on conventional medications.

But Tanya’s story doesn’t stop at healing. In the second half of the episode, we explore how she turned her pain into her passion. At just 19 years old, during her gap year, Tanya is building a business dedicated to helping other women reduce their period pain, support their gut health, and even reverse their own PCOS symptoms. We also talk about what it’s been like for Tanya stepping into entrepreneurship at such a young age, the tools she’s using to navigate starting a business, and her incredible experience pitching her idea at Google — and winning!

This episode is a must-listen if you’re interested in women’s health, gut health, hormonal healing, entrepreneurship, or simply being inspired by someone using their journey to create real change for others.

✨ In this episode, you’ll hear about:

- Tanya’s full PCOS diagnosis and healing journey

- How Ayurveda and gut health were key to reversing her symptoms naturally

- The impact of PCOS on women and why holistic healing matters

- Tanya’s transition from patient to founder during her gap year

- Practical tools and mindsets for starting a mission-driven business

- Tanya’s experience pitching and winning at Google

Reclaiming Bossy
Originally called Empower Sounds, the podcast has evolved and turned into Reclaiming Bossy! I’ve been called “bossy” many times in my life, often in a negative way. But through conversations with leaders, founders, and creators, I realised that so many of us share this “bossy” spark. I love the idea of reclaiming this word that’s been used to put people down and turn it into something empowering. Reclaiming bossy is a space to celebrate ambition, leadership, creativity, and the bold voices making things happen New episodes every monday <3
