From navigating culture shock, language barriers and leading teams across Asia to walking away from a successful career to start again, she reflects on the experiences that taught her to trust her instincts and embrace uncertainty.Today, her work is driven by something bigger than success. As a diversity and inclusion leader, she helps organisations create meaningful change, proving that meaningful change begins with curiosity and the conviction to act on it.This conversation is a reminder that you don't need to have your whole life mapped out.

  Ep 16: Steph Whitelock "You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be you.”

  Jul 15, 202648 min

  In her 20s, Steph spent years chasing perfection, worrying about what other people thought, and pushing hard to succeed as a musician. But her perspective on life completely shifted when her son was diagnosed with congenital CMV - a common virus that’s harmless for most adults but can affect a baby during pregnancy. In this honest and inspiring conversation, Steph shares how navigating her son’s diagnosis - and a system that often required her to fight for support - uncovered a strength she never knew she had. She talks about finding confidence through adversity, leaving fear and judgement where they firmly belong, the power of community, and how music gave her the courage to fight for her son and step into a new, empowered version of herself. This episode is a reminder that life rarely goes to plan, but sometimes the hardest chapters become the ones that shape us into the people we're meant to be. ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨Donate to CMV Action here .

  Ep 15: Emma Sexton | Why freedom is worth designing your life around!

  Jul 1, 202644 min

  What happens when you stop waiting for permission and start trusting yourself?For this 15th episode of ‘Finally Fabulous’ I am joined by Emma Sexton: a creative strategist, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for women - whose life has been shaped by one simple belief: freedom is worth designing your life around. Emma discusses the moments that transformed her life from finding the confidence to trust her own instincts, to navigating one of her toughest life chapters: heartbreak, her dad's cancer diagnosis, and the uncertainty of starting a business, all at the same time. Rather than chasing perfection, Emma learned to see life as an experiment. Every setback became a lesson, every challenge an opportunity to grow, and every bold decision another step towards building a life that felt authentically hers. In our conversation, we explore the realities of entrepreneurship, the power of community, and how creativity can become a powerful form of therapy during life’s most challenging moments. Emma also shares the "f**k it" moments that helped her redefine what fulfilment looks like, such as why freedom became her ultimate measure of success. If you've ever felt like an outsider, questioned the traditional path, or dreamed of designing a life that truly reflects who you are, this conversation is for you. ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨ Emma's website - https://www.emmasexton.com Listen to Emma's podcast here!

  Ep 14: Lucie Flynn | The art of reinvention: finally choosing yourself.

  Jun 17, 202639 min

  What happens when you've spent most of your life putting everyone else's needs before your own? In this episode, artist, creative entrepreneur and workshop facilitator Lucie Flynn shares her journey from chronic people-pleasing and self-doubt to building a life rooted in confidence, creativity and self-trust. Growing up as a highly sensitive empath, Lucie became so focused on caring for others that she gradually lost touch with herself. From walking away from a career that left her overwhelmed, to leaving a relationship that eroded her confidence, she reflects on the moments that forced her to ask a difficult question: Who am I when I stop living for everyone else? Lucie opens up about rebuilding her identity through art, creating spaces where women feel seen and heard, and the transformative power of setting boundaries, even with the people we love most. Now in her 50s and experiencing a new level of visibility and success, she shares why confidence isn't something you find, but something you build every time you choose yourself. Lucie's story is a reminder that confidence doesn't arrive all at once, it grows every time you stop seeking permission and start trusting yourself. If you've ever struggled with people-pleasing, self-doubt or losing yourself in someone else's expectations, this episode will resonate deeply. ✨ New episodes Wednesday's fortnightly at 8am. ✨Follow Lucie on Instagram @lucie.flynn Check out Lucie's artwork here - https://www.lucieflynnstudio.co.uk ⁠Donate to ESDAS (East Surrey Domestic Abuse services) by clicking this link.
