How often have you thought, "I'm just one Voice. How can I make an impact?"
Turns out, your one Voice may affect more change than you could ever imagine.
On the season finale, of ARRIVED. celebrating Women's History Month, I speak with my old friend, anti-racism and mother-and-baby home campaigner, Marguerite Penrose, about how she's used her Voice to affect legislative change – and reach over two million people in the process.
Tune in to hear Marguerite's story of growing up in a mother-and-baby home in Dublin; how she's using her Voice to raise awareness for the rights of adopted children who were raised in Ireland's mother-and-baby homes; her experience being Black in a mostly all-white community in 1970s Ireland; and how a single act of telling her story has now led to Marguerite's Voice being published in an overwhelmingly powerful article on the BBC, garnering over two million reads.
Marguerite also shares her tips for using your Voice to affect true change, and make an impact on your audience.
Marguerite is an Irish-Zambian Anti-Racism and Mother and Baby Home campaigner based near Dublin, Ireland. She is also a Meditation, Reiki Master & Teacher. While Marguerite was born with congenital scoliosis, she is a true lover of life, of people – and a self-professed positivity queen!

Questioning how productive you really are while WFH? Wondering how to switch off when your work life is your home life is your work life (and repeat)? Turns out, there are unique challenges women who work from home face, as we head firmly into a working from home revolution.
Today on ARRIVED., I chat to female leadership journalist and author, Harriet Minter, about
– why the language of contemporary women's magazines still assumes outdated tropes of women's work lives – even in 2021
– how Harriet came to launch the Women in Leadership section in the Guardian newspaper
– how the post-pandemic hybrid work from office / work from home model could actually edge women out of promotions and career advancement
– how to rethink your productivity (and that afternoon nap!) when working from home
– why regularly working more than 40 hours/week can lead to disease
– how to set better boundaries around your professional life so that working from home doesn't turn into 'living at work'
Harriet's new book, WFH: How to Build a Career you Love Outside the Office is available now at all fine booksellers.

Confused about how to get your Voice published in major media outlets? Worry that your story or personal brand isn’t unique enough?

Today on ARRIVED., PR and publicity goddess, Kristin Marquet, is giving you (and me!) the lowdown about why amping up your PR game is an absolute must when it comes to running and growing your business; the right way to approach and pitch editors; one exercise to pump up your mindset when pitching (and the realities of rejection); the difference between 'newsworthy' and 'credibility' when it comes to publicity (and why it matters!); and how to get media coverage, even if you have a small following, a patched together website or have never yet been featured in the media before.

Have a dream to share your Voice by writing and publishing a book? Wonder how to create space through a membership that makes a true impact on your niche?
Today on ARRIVED., I chat with an old friend from my London days, Rachel Hills, who has done both. Rachel gets real about the behind-the-scenes of penning a non-fiction book for one of the biggest publishing houses in the world; why the Voice of that book was born from her own sexual insecurity in her mid-twenties; how she flipped the traditional networking model on its head in creating her feminist networking community, PowerBitches Gather; the new challenges Rachel faced when moving from freelance journalism to running a startup; and how to rethink our mindset around charging for our professional contributions.
Rachel is a feminist writer, producer, entrepreneur, and creator based in Brooklyn, New York. She is the author of The Sex Myth: The Gap Between Our Fantasies and Reality (Simon & Schuster); the founder of Powerbitches Gather, a high-touch peer support network for powerful progressive womxn; and Protagonistic, a feminist strategic communications consultancy.
Rachel’s work has been published in The New York Times, The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Vogue, Buzzfeed, The Cut, and many more. She has spoken at more than 20 colleges and universities across the United States, delivered two popular TEDx talks, and has keynoted at Harvard Sex Week and the Sydney Opera House.

Show of hands: how often have you put your needs aside to accommodate the wants of others? How often have you felt burned out, resentful, or drained because you've put yourself and your Voice last? If you're raising your hand (like I am!) you may be guilty of breaking your own boundaries.
Today on ARRIVED., I chat to the queen of healthy boundary-setting, Nancy Levin, about the no. 1 myth of boundary-setting; the sneaky ways in which we sublimate our own needs to accommodate others; why NOT setting boundaries is a subtle form of self-sabotage; how to reframe our perception of selfishness; and how to ditch the 'gold star' validation mentality to better show up for ourselves, our clients, and our friends – simply by prioritizing our own needs.
Please stop whatever you are doing and fully commit to this episode today. We're covering a lot, and Nancy is going to blow. your. mind! Are you ready?!

As creative entrepreneurs and small business owners, we're often told to not get stuck in the creative process; to instead get our products and services to market as quickly as possible. So what happens when you know you're onto something big – but it's going to require a bit of time and effort to get your vision right?
Today on ARRIVED., I chat to wallpaper entrepreneur and Pasted Paper Founder, Julie Campbell, about leading your business with intuition; how to believe in yourself (before anyone else does); why true innovation is a slow burn; and, aptly, why it's never too late to start a business – even amidst a pandemic.
Julie Campbell is an entrepreneur, designer, product developer, mother, gardener, and loves creating beautiful spaces that make people feel good. After 25 years of experience in the international home decor and craft markets, she has returned to her roots to do just that – make beautiful spaces with you through her new wallpaper product, PastedPaper (pastedpaper.com).

Ever feel like a sh*tshow because you've got too many passions to focus on just one? (Me too!) Turns out this could be your secret superpower.
Today on ARRIVED., I'm getting real with actor, model, host, singer, voice-over artist, and unapologetic multi-hyphenate creative, Lauren Aparicio, about leveraging your many talents to amplify your Voice.
In this raw (and hilarious) convo, Lauren and I discuss how to embrace being multi-hyphenate creative; the quiet power of active listening; collaborating in the Clubhouse era; the problem with too much positivity; how to stop being a 'Shadow Artist'; redefining our own definition of success (um...yes!); and why to leave your Spanx in the closet, girl!
Lauren's own multi-hyphenated career has taken her from early days in musical theatre and radio DJing into the music industry. Landing a role as a media rep for Warner Bros Records, she led tour production for artists such as Linkin Park, Chris Cornell, Natasha Bedingfield, Bush, & others. Her subsequent work in Film and TV production, and her love for acting, led her to a chance opportunity as a Set Assistant on the 2017 Al Pacino film, Hangman, and her fist principal role in Scorsese's The Irishman. Lauren is also known for her roles in Seasons 42 & 43 of Saturday Night Live and Homeland.
Lauren's IGTV series, "Quarantined But Qute" drops weekly on Wednesdays! She also hosts several weekly Clubhouse Rooms, including "Behind the Curtain" and "Overheard Clubhouse".

When it comes to learning a new skill and working toward your goals, do you love asking questions? Do you seek out trainers, mentors and peers to help you navigate the answers? Do you Google or YouTube the hell of 'How-To' tutorials?
I fall into the trap of asking questions so much that it can often keep me stuck in even more confusion than when I started.
This week, I'm using my biggest challenge to date – puppy training! – as a metaphor for learning the answers, and mastering a skillset by the art of DOING. When we move from the passive act of asking questions to the active process of doing our own work to figure it out, we answer life's most burning question: how do I arrive at the results I want?

Yesterday, in Ep45, we talked about how insincere a gratitude practice can feel this time of year, and completed an exercise instead in ingratitude.
Today, on Part 2 on this special Thanksgiving double feature, we're going to tie it all together with another exercise that will help you feel more empowered (and realistic) this Thanksgiving.

It's almost Thanksgiving. The time of year we're supposed to put on a stupid nubbly sweater and 'count our blessings'. But what if – like me! – you're not feeling especially grateful this year? What if the mere word 'gratitude' just makes you want to vom a little in your mouth?
Today, on Part 1 on this special ingratitude double feature, we're going to deep dive with an exercise on some of the darker emotions that come along with our ambivalence about a gratitude practice (especially during a time of year when it can feel more canned than that cranberry sauce you're about to serve up).
But here's the catch: if you're going to follow along with the exercise today, you also need to join me back here tomorrow for Part 2 – Ep046 – of How to Be Ungrateful.

When it comes to finding one's voice – and feelings of arrival – what we say to ourselves (our inner voice) is incredibly important. The word 'just' can be the most dangerous four letter word in the English language; it can act to subconsciously downplay our lifestyle – or worse – our self-esteem, especially when we use it in the context of talking about oneself and our accomplishments.
Today on the show, I'm giving three examples of how we can diminish our own greatness – and our voice – with one simple four letter word. And, how to reframe the word 'just' (and your inner voice).
