Episode 100 is a stopping point, not a surrender. I’m closing this chapter of the Mischief Movement Podcast with a look back at the ideas that have helped so many of us step off autopilot and into intentional living, especially when midlife starts whispering that there must be more than ticking boxes.

We revisit some of the moments that shaped the show: treating true fun as a North Star rather than a reward, protecting creativity as part of identity, and letting big life wake-up calls sharpen what matters. I also pull through some of my favourite guest lessons, from backing yourself and asking boldly, to designing your lifestyle first instead of squeezing your real life into evenings and weekends. That gem came from one of my favourite episodes with Designer-Maker & TV Presenter, Max McMurdo.

Along the way we touch on late-blooming ambition with Designer Liz Mosley, modern career paths like UGC with Megan Spencer, and why “the worst someone can say is no” can be the start of everything.

You’ll also hear how unexpected friendship and community grow from a single conversation, plus what’s next for me beyond the podcast: deeper coaching work, tarot as a tool for reflection, and a new space I’m sketching out for curious, adventurous humans who want to feel more alive. If you’ve been waiting for perfect timing, take this as your sign. Subscribe, share with a fellow mischief maker, and leave a review that tells me: what are you starting now?

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!

What if the very dreams people call “delusional” are the ones that lead you to a life that finally fits?

This week I sit down with branding and business strategist Silvia Coco to unpack how multi-passionate creatives can stop shrinking to fit a label and start using strategy as a bridge from idea to reality. From refusing the box to designing goals that match your real capacity, this conversation blends honest stories with practical tools you can use today.

Silvia’s path runs from corporate communications to Parsons illustration to brand strategy, revealing how each pivot sharpened her gift for clarity. She shares why she left client-led design, how to reframe a job title as a conversation starter, and the simple definition of strategy that changes everything: the road you take from concept to done. We talk brand positioning, alignment, and the quiet traps that keep founders stuck even when they look “successful” on paper.

Silvia’s guiding word—intentionality—becomes a compass for multi-passionates: pick one theme, then express it everywhere through choices, collaborations, and content. We also trade podcast production truths, embracing the messy middle instead of chasing perfect timing. And we unpack “delusional to done,” a mindset that invites you to dream audaciously, select one strand, ship it, and let the proof power the next move.

If you’re ready to trade labels for leverage and fog for focus, hit play. Then share this with a friend who needs a nudge or leave a review to help more rebels find their road!

Feeling stuck in the in-between—aware you’re meant for more, but unsure where to start? This week I sit down with author and adventurer Melissa Rodway to trace the spark behind her book The People You Meet and the winding path that followed. What begins as a tagalong trip across Southeast Asia becomes a study in curiosity, identity, and the strangers who tilt your life on its axis. Melissa shares how long emails from internet cafés turned into a self-published book, how she learned to choose the right voices to trust, and why one act of courage can open the floodgates to more...

We dig into myths about travel and transformation. No neat epiphanies, but plenty of skill-building, confidence, and space to think. Along the way, we talk about saying yes to the unknown, reading your body’s 'yes' when your mind says 'no', and letting purpose reveal itself in overlaps: radio, writing, comedy, and an unexpected pull toward celebrancy and the death industry. These threads look random from up close, then resolve into a pattern of storytelling, presence, and service.

If you’re wrestling with approval, perfection, or the “pick one lane” rule, this conversation offers a different blueprint. Start small. Ask better questions. Know when to tap out and go home instead of pushing through and burning out. Let dissatisfaction be data rather than a dead end. By the end, you’ll have practical prompts to move again and a reminder that the dots rarely connect without the next brave step...

What if the most polished form of self‑sabotage is the one that sounds wise and looks responsible—waiting? This week I'm taking you through another 'dream blocker' by looking at the phrases that keep us stuck—when things calm down, when I have more time, when I feel ready—and swapping them for micro‑moves that actually shift identity. We explore why one day is risky, how permission rarely arrives from the outside, and why action—not thought—creates the headspace and clarity we keep postponing.

You’ll hear how midlife rebellion can be quiet and profound: not chaos, but a decision to stop delaying what makes you feel alive, and I share practical prompts to shrink your dreams into starter steps that fit inside a full life. Along the way, we unpack the myths of readiness and alignment, showing how momentum generates energy and how messy beginnings invite life to expand around your new direction.

If you recognise your own 'one day' sentence, this is your gentle nudge toward your own rebellious move...

The moment the on‑air light flipped red, everything changed. Christine Blosdale walked into a radio studio expecting to crumble and walked out with a voice people couldn’t ignore. That spark carried her from AOL entertainment writer to independent radio host and now a coach who helps women stop playing small and claim their expert authority with clear, compelling language.

We talk about the sliding‑doors choices that follow a crisis of purpose, from reassessing her work in celebrity culture after 9/11 to discovering a community‑funded station that prized analysis over noise. Christine breaks down how to build a bridge from talent to authority: keep your day job while you lay foundations, sell what your dream clients actually want, and name your value in words people instantly understand. She shares how podcasting became a simple, high‑leverage platform for visibility, then explains why she pivoted as the market shifted toward brand messaging, positioning, and packaging expertise.

Imposter syndrome gets the honest treatment here and Christine’s antidote is service over self: focus on the person you help, not how you look. We trade tactics for momentum, from publishing books that boost SEO and credibility to using podcast guesting to open doors and deepen relationships.

Along the way, we explore designing work around your energy. Short, focused bursts, real rest, and routines that invite ideas can make authority feel natural instead of forced. Expect concrete steps, candid stories, and permission to evolve as your audience evolves. If you’re multi‑passionate, we’ll help you choose a clear entry point without abandoning your range and if you’re waiting to feel ready, consider this your nudge to speak and show up right now!

Waiting for perfect clarity can feel safe, but it’s often the very thing keeping us stuck. This week I'm talking about why the first step isn’t a five-year plan or a neat job title, it’s rebellion—small, deliberate acts that shake you out of autopilot and remind your nervous system that you’re allowed to want what you want. From saying no to the plan you don’t want to changing one tiny routine on purpose, these micro moves create momentum, and momentum invites clarity to catch up.

You’ll hear stories from starting the podcast without a final format to navigating midlife defaults that run quiet but deep. We dig into why creating intentional space from the productivity treadmill is essential if you want your real voice to be heard. Think of this as a compassionate push: try the thing you’ve been overthinking, even if you do it badly at first, because action is the fastest teacher.

Expect practical prompts you can use today: write a “things I’d love to do if nobody judged me” list, follow your curiosity for an hour with no outcome, and pick one micro mischief to test this week. I'm not promising certainty; I'm offering a way to build working clarity through movement. If you’re feeling pressure to define 2026 still, with a word of the year or a master plan, this conversation gives you permission to start smaller and go deeper.

If this resonates, follow along, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review so others can find it. Want to keep in touch as new things take shape? Join the mailing list and say hello on Instagram or LinkedIn—tell me the tiny rebellion you’ll try next!

If you're feeling stuck or trapped by the daily grind, book a 1:1 coaching session with me and let's get you the momentum you're looking for

Endings don’t need noise to matter. They need honesty, time, and the courage to pause when the calendar demands motion. I'm sharing a rare behind‑the‑scenes moment: why the podcast is heading toward its final chapters, and how I'm letting the ending arrive on its own schedule rather than forcing a finish for the sake of a date.

Together we unpack the difference between finishing and ending well, and how cultural pressure—deadlines, year‑end goals, “new year, new you”—can push us to rush what deserves care. You’ll hear personal stories of exits done too fast, the hollowness that follows, and the subtle relief of stepping back to notice what’s truly complete. We explore the quiet mechanics of clarity: waiting longer than is comfortable, following energy instead of a plan, and allowing direction to surface in small, steady signals. Think seasonally, not just strategically; winter is for rest and nature works in cycles.

I also share two practical anchors. First, the podcast will rest over the holidays so the final episodes can land with integrity, not obligation. Second, for anyone stuck between fatigue and possibility, the Rebel Reset offers a focused 90‑minute session to cut through fog and choose a next step that actually feels like you.

If this speaks to you, follow along or share with a friend who needs permission to rest, thoughtful endings and brave new beginnings...

What if freedom isn’t a stamp-filled passport but a calendar that finally breathes? I sit down with travel-writer-turned-coach Georgie Darling to unpack how a business can fund a bigger life instead of quietly swallowing it. From the early thrill of flights and flexible work to the hard truth of vanishing time, Georgie maps the shift from chasing escape to designing ease—on purpose.

We get specific about the levers that matter: auditing your workload to kill performative tasks, tightening your offer into services you love, and pricing for stability with retainers that buy back hours. Georgie shares how she helps creative women—writers, videographers, digital marketers—ditch hustle myths, set humane boundaries, and choose clients who energise instead of exhaust. For midlife listeners balancing kids and careers, we explore freedom that looks like steady income, clear guardrails and emotional confidence in your craft, not another app to master.

Travel can be a mirror. Notice the feelings you chase—curiosity, calm, aliveness—and rebuild your week to create them without a boarding pass. Start with a small rebellion: a half-day for joy, a solo lunch, a train to somewhere new. Then write to your future self and use simple tools— a goal breakdown, a firm schedule—to turn vision into steps. You don’t need every skill under the sun; you need mastery, messaging and the courage to say no when your gut whispers red flag.

Ready to design a business that gives you a life? Press play, then tell me the one hour you’ll reclaim this week. If this conversation helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs permission to go slower, and leave a quick review so more rebels can find us.
