Welcome to Part 1 of our four-part Fresh Start mini-series - a companion episode to Ep. 268 where we invite you to get vision-ready with us.

Whether you’re stepping into a new year, a new team, a new financial reality, a new role, or a whole new life chapter - or it simply feels like time to turn over a fresh page, this episode is about setting your intent for the phase ahead.

Rather than making promises that can add pressure or create quiet guilt, we explore a mindset reset: progress over perfection. When we focus on direction rather than demands, energy and momentum follow.

We unpack psychologist Julian Rotter’s work on Internal vs External Locus of Control, and why seeing yourself as the agent (not the victim) of events is linked to stronger wellbeing, clearer decision-making, and better personal and commercial outcomes.

Finally, we share our brand-new FRESH intention-setting tool: a simple, team-friendly way to galvanise focus and momentum. It’s ideal for meetings where you want people to leave feeling Focused, Realistic, Empowered, Strategic and Happy about the task-load ahead.

A calm, motivating listen for anyone ready to reset their lens and move forward with purpose - no matter our age, stage or background. As Maria Robinson reminds us: “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”

As the year draws to a close, it’s the perfect moment to pause, breathe and take stock. In this reflective, “get reviewing with me” style episode, we walk you through a simple, compassionate, step-by-step process to look back over your year with clarity, courage and kindness.

We explore why intentional pauses matter, how rest becomes a radical act of resilience, and how reviewing the highs, lows, lessons and notable highlights can help you reconnect to what truly matters. We share our own reflections, invite you to scan your year with curiosity, and offer practical prompts around values, purpose and emotional wellbeing.

We also discuss how journaling, technology and a sprinkle of AI can broaden your perspective and support future planning - including the Safe Hands exercise and the Six Box Method to shape a flexible, energising year ahead. Both tools work brilliantly as team activities too, making this a practical episode for anyone looking to refresh a team review session.

Whether your year has been full, messy, brilliant or challenging, this episode helps you honour your experiences, celebrate your successes and reset your mindset with intention.

Key themes: reflection, emotional resilience, intentional pausing, values, purpose, self-care, notable highlights, future planning, personal growth, compassion

A grounding, inspiring listen to help you close the year well and step into the next one with confidence and calm energy. Taking just 10 minutes to look back over the past 12 months gives you the chance to notice and savour your successes; boosting your courage and optimism for the year ahead.

We are taking 2 weeks off until the next year when we will return on Fri 9th Jan 2026! With love and thanks, Debs and Lau xx

In this second in our 3-part mini-series inviting us to Slow Down to Go Faster, we reframe the concept of rest by asking: how would an athlete consider the concept of rest in their profession? A vital component for performance! In a world that glorifies busyness, rest can feel like a luxury, but in this episode we explore why it’s actually a radical, life-changing act.

We dive into the real meaning of rest, the myths that stop us from prioritising it, and how intentional pauses can transform not just your wellbeing, but also your performance, clarity and relationships at work.

We share practical examples of how to build rest into your high performance routines, how to say no with love, and why protecting your energy is a life-leadership skill, not a guilty secret. We summarise tips for incorporating rest into your day, the power of micro-pauses, and simple ways to bring more ease into your team culture - including fun, innovative approaches to help everyone reset and stay connected.

Whether you’re running on empty, juggling too much, or simply curious about how to work and live with more spaciousness, this episode invites you to rethink rest as a choice, not a reward - and to treat it as a strategic, courageous act.

Key themes: rest, productivity, self-care, intentional pauses, boundaries, saying no, team dynamics, wellbeing, leadership, mental health, performance

A replenishing, perspective-shifting listen to remind you that rest isn’t a weakness - it’s one of the smartest investments you can make in yourself and your team.
