The Middle Girl

Do you feel it is really possible to follow your own dreams?

In this heartfelt episode, Scotland's Women welcomes Rachel Aitken presenter and creator of "The Crossroad" podcast. Rachel shares her journey from being "The Middle Girl"—someone who supports everyone else but has in the past maybe overlooked her own dreams—But today she has found her voice and is pursuing a career in radio and podcasting, all this was inspired by being 7 weeks pregnant with her daughter.

This episode explores themes of self-worth, the challenges of change, and the importance of nurturing both others and oneself. Rachel opens up about overcoming self-doubt, the impact of her working-class roots, and the pivotal moment during pregnancy that gave her the confidence to chase her ambitions. She discusses the power of community, the realities of motherhood, and the value of authentic storytelling.

Listeners you will be inspired by Rachel’s advice, for any woman at a crossroad: trust your gut, pursue your passions, and remember that you are enough. This episode is a celebration of resilience, female empowerment, and the unique stories that shape Scotland’s Women today!

Do you now feel you can chase your own dreams?
