  • Preserving Choice & Optionality as a Woman in Business
    Apr 5 2026

    Most women aren’t lacking ambition.
    They’re lacking information about their options.

    In this episode, Kerrie is joined by Kimberley Caines, founder of Preserve Her, to unpack a conversation most women were never taught to have.

    Not from fear.
    From clarity.

    Because fertility isn’t just a personal decision.
    It intersects with business, timing, and the life you’re building.

    They explore how understanding your options earlier can completely change how you approach your future without pressure or urgency.

    Because this isn’t about rushing decisions.
    It’s about preserving choice.

    They dive into what women in business need to understand about fertility, including:

    • Why awareness earlier creates more freedom later
    • How egg freezing actually works and what most people misunderstand
    • The emotional and practical reality of navigating fertility alongside business growth
    • The real cost and how to think about it as part of long term planning
    • The mindset shift from reactive to proactive decision making

    If you’ve ever felt unsure, behind, or avoided this conversation entirely, this episode offers a different way to approach it.

    Calm.Informed.On your terms.

    Because the goal isn’t pressure.

    It’s options.

    And the earlier you understand them, the more power you have to choose.

    Hit play and start thinking about your future from a place of clarity, not urgency.

  • The Imposters with Natasha Stewart
    Dec 27 2021

    Natasha Stewart is the strategic powerhouse and mother of four at the helm of Business Jump; an online business that provides a platform for other mothers to jumpstart their dreams of running a profitable business from home.

    Nat regularly bares all with her tribe of a collective forty thousand mothers and business owners, sharing stories of not just her learnings in business but the real and raw events that shaped who she is today, such as an unlawful firing, postnatal depression, two miscarriages, a twin pregnancy and weaves within it how she mindfully fell down and put herself back together throughout it all. Most recently, with the birth of her twins, Nat continues to generously document her rich and colourful life for the benefit of her Business Jump and Remarkable Business Mums community.

    This is why I asked her to have a chat with me about imposter syndrome and the fears people have about speaking up as their true self.

    Recently one of Natasha's social media posts highlighted to me her strength and experience in this area and this forms the basis of our conversation today.

    Enjoy!

  • The Imposters with Natalie Tolhopf
    Dec 20 2021

    Natalie does imperfection perfectly. Actually, no, she stuffs up imperfection imperfectly.

    Oh I'm confused!

    Put it this way, done is better than perfect is something Natalie encourages and I for one LOVE THAT.

    Natalie is energetic and a fast talking kiwi so hold onto your undies as I navigate embracing imperfection and how it can ease the pain of imposter syndrome.

    The quote Natalie fumbled through like a true disaster, that I promised to include in the show notes was "A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms' Zen Shin.

    The artwork behind her while we were recording can be seen in the header on this page - https://natalietolhopf.com/speaker-bio/
