This episode is a gentle reflection on the power of honoring your natural rhythm and choosing a life that reflects what matters most.

As I take a six-week summer pause from the podcast, I’m leaning into the spaciousness of this season—traveling to Scotland with my daughter before her final year of high school, and spending precious time with my whole family on a long-awaited beach holiday.

This short solo episode is an invitation to:...

You’re not imagining it.

Why are so many women feeling quietly disconnected—even when we’re surrounded by people or “connected” online?

In this episode, Eimear explores the emotional and biological truth about female friendship, the modern epidemic of loneliness, and why sisterhood might just be the thing we need most right now.

She shares a viral quote that hit a nerve, a story that sparked hundreds of women to say “me too,” and the deeper wound that gets t...

What if the life you’ve outgrown is the one you’ve called “home” for years?

In this episode, Eimear shares a deeply personal story about leaving behind the familiar—and what it really takes to build a sense of belonging that starts from within.

Through the lens of her own midlife move across continents, she unpacks:

  • How your environment shapes your identity more than you realize

If you've ever found yourself mid-scroll or mid-stride thinking, "What the hell am I even doing with my life?"—this one’s for you.

In this episode, I introduce a soul-shifting practice I’m currently deep in: a 30-day mental diet. Not a restriction—a devotion. A reset. A remembering. A radical act of self-honoring in a world that glorifies hustle, noise, and disconnection.

We talk about:

  • Why there is no such thing as...

In a world full of noise, sometimes what we need most is to go deeper—and older.
 In this solo episode, I’m sharing three powerful lessons from ancient feminine wisdom that have shaped how I live, lead, and trust myself. These aren’t just stories from myth or history—they’re fierce, relevant truths that speak directly to the woman who’s done with people-pleasing, self-doubt, and the endless performance of being “good.”

Ever found yourself obsessing over what others might think — whether it’s your marathon finish time or a social media post? In this episode, I get real about the all-too-familiar trap of worrying about how others perceive us.

In this solo episode, I talk about the thing I never thought I’d be doing at 50—training for my fifth major marathon. Spoiler: I used to believe I wasn’t built for endurance. Not physically. Not mentally. And certainly not over 26.2 bloody miles.

Turns out, I was wrong.
And maybe... so are you.

This episode is about so much more than running. It’s about:

  • The sneaky stories we absorb early—about what we can and can’t do
  • Why midl...

At 24, Eimear thought she’d already missed the boat. No “real” job. No obvious path. Just a string of mismatched roles and a heavy sense of being behind.

Now, decades (and multiple reinventions) later, she’s here to call BS on the myth that it’s too late.

In this unapologetic and fire-fueled episode, Eimear busts open the cultural conditioning that tells women in midlife to sit down, shrink back, and stay small. She shares personal s...

We’re told to be team players. Not to make waves. To shrink ourselves to fit someone else’s version of success. But what happens when playing small stops working—and your body starts telling the truth?

In this episode, Cristina Amigoni shares how years of feeling invisible led to one powerful moment of walking out of a meeting and into a new chapter. She’s the co-founder of Siamo, a human-centered consultancy helping organizations n...
