What if the questions that keep you up at night are actually the doorway to your next evolution? For over 15 years, I’ve been coaching women of all ages through the big transitions and tender thresholds of life - guiding them in self-love, feminine power, boundaries, intimacy, emotional healing, confidence, and identity evolution. I’ve helped women call in soulmates, get promotions, expand their income, deepen their relationships, and step into new life chapters feeling aligned, healthy, and fulfilled. Last week I hosted my live and online event - Awakened & Aligned. Every evening I answered questions. Nothing was off limits! I’ve curated the most juicy questions that I believe you will find the most valuable and combined them into a long and special episode. In this special Awakened & Aligned Q&A Series, I answer real questions from real women about everything from balancing masculine and feminine energy, healing the inner child, navigating anxious and avoidant attachment, moving through overthinking, releasing anger, setting boundaries with family, and finding clarity when life feels uncertain. Join me as we explore the messy, miraculous process of becoming the woman you’re here to be. And, spoiler - the solution to any ‘problem’ is rooted in Self-Love.   LINKS FOR MORE :   If you would like to explore working privately with me, feel free to take a look at my website : www.daringandmighty.com/coach   If you are particularly interested in ‘Inner Child’ work, take a look at my RESET Coaching Experience :  www.theschoolofself.love/courses/right-here-right-now/reset   Explore my newest group coaching programme - BE HER : www.daringandmighty.com/Be-Her   Buy my book - ‘The Self-Love Affair - A Woman’s Guide To A Daring & Mighty Life’ :   Amazon UK - https://amzn.eu/d/12v2CMY Amazon USA - https://a.co/d/7skbDJH  Amazon Australia - https://amzn.asia/d/5prDj5I 

What if the life you worked so hard to build suddenly no longer fit and your soul whispered, “It’s time to let go”? In this powerful conversation, Katie Phillips speaks with Danielle Sunberg, a former lawyer turned transformational coach and author, about the moments that have shaped her evolution through multiple sacred voids. From walking away from a prestigious legal career to backpacking the world in search of truth, to redefining success through motherhood - Dani’s story is a raw, inspiring reflection on identity, purpose, and feminine power. Together, Katie and Dani explore: How to recognise the moment when achievement becomes misalignment The courage it takes to leap into the unknown and trust what you can’t yet see The Good Girl archetype and how it quietly drives burnout, perfectionism, and self-doubt The sacred redefinition of motherhood as a portal to sovereignty and self-trust How slowing down, reflecting, and integrating become acts of deep feminine wisdom This conversation is for every woman who’s ever wondered, “What if there’s more to me than the roles I’ve been playing?” Dani’s story is a living embodiment of what it means to evolve through the void - to burn away the old, honour the unknown, and rise as the woman you were always meant to be.   * Join AWAKENED & ALIGNED : 20 - 24 October 2025 FREE 5 day RESET reveals how successful-but-searching midlife women can reimagine what’s possible by realigning with their truth.

What happens when a chapter of your life comes to a true and sacred completion? In this deeply personal episode, Katie shares the story behind the small circle tattoo on her thumb - a symbol of completion. What began as a surprise retreat in Bali unfolded into a series of transformative experiences: a healing encounter with a horse, a sacred water ceremony, and a circle of women where Katie spoke about her late mother in a way she never had before. Through these moments, Katie came to recognise the completion of a soul contract with her mother, releasing years of identity shaped by loss and shifting into freedom to create from a new place. This story weaves together the themes of the sacred void, identity, and midlife evolution, showing how endings can become portals into renewal. You’ll be invited to reflect on your own life: What are you ready to be complete with? Which identities, contracts, or ways of being are you ready to lay down? And what becomes possible when you do? This episode is an intimate reminder that completion is not an ending. It’s an opening into your next Daring & Mighty chapter.   * Join AWAKENED & ALIGNED : 20 - 24 October 2025.

What happens when life tells you to stop? In this raw and soul-stirring conversation, Katie sits down with long-time friend and fellow mentor Jennie Harland-Khan to explore her Sacred Void - a multi-year initiation that stripped away career, income, health, and certainty, and asked her to sit still, surrender, and trust. Together, Katie and Jennie explore: The “directive to stop” that arrived in the middle of financial uncertainty The unraveling of shoulds, shame, and identity attachments How cancer, menopause, and her daughter’s mental health crisis became initiations into deeper wisdom The unexpected gifts of stillness: profound connection, community, and clarity The birth of Blue Horse Bali - a healing sanctuary with horses that emerged directly from the Sacred Void This conversation is tender, powerful, and full of hope. If you’re navigating your own in-between season, Jennie’s story will remind you that the Void isn’t empty - it’s fertile.   * Join AWAKENED & ALIGNED : 20 - 24 October 2025.

For over 15 years, she has worked with high-performing leaders, coaches and entrepreneurs, not to push them harder, but to return them to the truth of who they are beneath the striving. At the core of Jennie’s work is a radical remembering: that love, creativity, wellbeing, and power are not things to achieve or work towards, they are already within us. She leads people to slow down and laser in on their inner guidance wisdom, act fast and live from it. Grounded in what is true for all humans, her approach is both deeply spiritual and profoundly practical. The embodiment of her own work has led her to lead an unconventional life with her family, which saw them leave the UK to live in a Chamonix, a ski resort the French Alps, to bring more adventure and a different culture into their lives, and then to Bali in pursuit of an of education that she knew would be of deep service to her children at The Green School.  It was a whispering in her own soul that got louder even when it didn’t make sense. The past few years Jennie navigated her own period in the void, which included a period of cancer and healing. Jennie stepped back from leading to walk her own path inward. It was during this time through synchronistic events that horses in the most unexpected way, began to speak to her in ways she couldn’t ignore. Now, as a Co-Founder of Blue Horse Bali, Jennie brings all of it. The decades of insight, the frequency of presence, the ability to hold a powerful, coherent field she combines equine wisdom with human mentorship. https://www.bluehorsebali.com/  @bluehorse.bali    WATCH THE FULL VIDEO that accompanies this episode over on YouTube : https://youtu.be/nKBjgpTPxF0 

Who are you when you strip away the roles, labels, and expectations that have defined you? In this episode of the Daring & Mighty Podcast, Katie explores the profound question of identity and why it matters so deeply - especially for high-achieving women at midlife. From her own story of walking away from an engagement and a successful career, to navigating the sacred void where old identities fall away, Katie shares how identity work becomes the foundation for living a Daring and Mighty life. Together we’ll explore: How roles, conditioning, and expectations can keep you from your true self The terrifying yet liberating space of shedding an old identity before a new one arrives Why identity is an energetic frequency that shapes the opportunities, relationships, and experiences you attract How consciously creating your future identity opens you to new levels of fulfilment and possibility   This episode is an invitation to pause and ask yourself:  Who am I beyond the roles I play?  Who am I becoming? It’s a conversation that will help you courageously release what no longer fits and step into the Daring and Mighty self you are here to embody.   * Join AWAKENED & ALIGNED : 20 - 24 October 2025.

What happens when your whole being whispers, “I can’t”? In this intimate conversation, Katie sits down with dear friend and fellow women’s empowerment coach Paula Lacobara to explore the Sacred Void - the liminal season where the old no longer fits and the new hasn’t landed yet. Together they unpack: The moment the body says stop and why “I can’t” can be the most self-honouring boundary of all Moving from “energy forward” (performing, pleasing, over-responsibility) to sitting back in centre Receiving from the masculine - partners, structures, and business - without losing feminine power Midlife alchemy: perimenopause/menopause, changing hormones, and working with a new rhythm Recalibrating work, money, and identity with ease, joy, and deeper self-trust If you’re in a season of not-knowing - less output, more feeling - this episode is your reminder that you are not falling behind.

What happens when life takes you into the in-between? The Sacred Void is that tender, uncomfortable space where the old has fallen away but the new hasn’t yet arrived. It can feel like emptiness, confusion, or even failure. And yet, this is where the magic begins. In this episode, I open up about my own journey through the Void - a season that began for me on the 1st of January 2023 with a visceral truth: “I can’t.” What followed was disorientating and raw: The fear of becoming irrelevant as I pulled back from social media and “went dark.” The shame of not being the main breadwinner after years of financial independence. The unraveling of an identity built on performance, visibility, and productivity. The midlife reality of my body no longer able - or willing - to hustle in the old way. And yet, beneath the discomfort, the Sacred Void became a powerful and necessary portal. Together we explore: Why the Void feels so disorienting (and why that’s part of its gift) How to soften into uncertainty and trust what’s unseen The deeper rewiring that happens even when it looks like “nothing is happening” How this liminal space prepares you for your next chapter If you are in a season of waiting, unraveling, or not-knowing, this conversation will help you see your Void as sacred. This is not the end. It is an initiation. This episode will give you a glimpse into the Daring & Mighty way of holding life’s transitions.   * Join AWAKENED & ALIGNED : 20 - 24 October 2025.
