Show Notes

Sometimes the boldest move is the one you don't announce. The one you make for yourself, not for the algorithm.

Eight weeks ago, I left Melbourne. I moved to Queensland. I bought a house. I didn't post about it. I didn't share it on social media. I just did it. And it was one of the hardest, most clarifying decisions I've made in years.

This episode is different. It's personal. It's unfiltered. And it's about what happens when your body starts sending you signals that something isn't right, even when everything on paper looks like it's working.

I'm recording this from an empty room, sitting on a camp chair, in my new home in Queensland. And I'm sharing the full story of why I left the city, what I learned about values, alignment, and listening to yourself before burnout makes the decision for you.

If you've ever felt out of alignment with where you are, even when you can't quite explain why, this one's for you.

In This Episode:

🟣 Why I moved to Melbourne CBD after finishing The Bold Move — and why it was exactly the right decision at the time

🟣 The moment I realised the city energy was no longer serving me, and how my body started sending signals before my mind caught up

🟣 The values exercise that changed everything — health, freedom, and growth — and why living out of alignment with them became impossible to ignore

🟣 How I could stand there teaching clarity and values inside the Bold Moves Career Accelerator while I wasn't living aligned with my own

🟣 Why I kept the entire move off social media — and what that taught me about making decisions for yourself, not for external validation

🟣 Why "peace is productive" became my new measure of a good decision — and how feeling calm and aligned made me more effective, not less

🟣 The one regret from The Five Regrets of the Dying that shapes every bold move I make — and the question I asked when I doubted everything: "would I regret not doing this?"

🟣 What happens when you finally listen to the quiet voice that's been trying to get your attention for months

🟣 Why the bold move isn't always the loud one. Sometimes it's the one you make in silence.

If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a message on LinkedIn or Instagram and let me know your biggest takeaway. Have you ever made a decision that felt right in your body before it made sense in your head? Have you ever had to leave something that looked good on paper because it didn't feel good in your life?

The bold move is not always the big dramatic career pivot. Sometimes it's the quiet decision to listen to yourself before burnout makes the decision for you.

The future belongs to the women who are ready for it. Let's make sure that's you.
