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...

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journalist and author, Harriet Minter, about – why the language of contemporary women's magazines still assumes outdated tropes of women's work lives – even in 2021  – how...

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...

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?

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...

One of the best ways to scale your business model and leverage the power your Voice (aside from podcasting!) is to create an online course. But here's a fact: 97% of course creators fail to sell enough courses to make all their course creation worth the hard work and effort. So, how can you be one of the 3% that succeed in adding a course to their business model? Today on ARRIVED., I'm chatting with Online Course & Business Coach, Tina Dahmen, about how to create and launch a successful...

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...

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 –...

Welcome back! On the first episode of Season 2, we’re chatting all about taking ownership of your decisions and your results – both positive and negative. For example: I've gained 20lbs since the pandemic began, ta-daaa!!  But I'm owning it.  We've probably got another six months (or more) of 'Lockdown Life' coming our way. How can we use this continued pandemic life as a catalyst (not an excuse!) to get back on track and back to our goals and positive routines?  Find out today, on...

Over the course of 39 episodes of ARRIVED., I've interviewed coaches, designers, fitness instructors, tech entrepreneurs & authors to help single men bring their A-game home.

Are you getting down on yourself because you’re not nearly as productive these days, working from home during lockdown? It’s a real thing, and we’re all experiencing it.
