Episode 0: Everyone Needs a Karen
In the first official episode of Spacious Success, I share the deeply personal story behind why I finally launched this podcast. Years of deferring this project, hidden behind busy schedules, work priorities, and life’s demands, came to a turning point with the sudden loss of my trusted team colleague and friend, Karen.
Through Karen’s life and legacy, I explore the powerful lesson that “someday” isn’t guaranteed. I reflect on the cost of deferring joy, health, and meaningful moments, and introduce the concept of the “success tax”. The hidden price high-achieving women often pay when achievement erodes wellbeing, peace, and relationships.
This Podcast is for ambitious, accomplished women who want to redefine success on their own terms, without burnout, overwhelm, or self-sacrifice.
I invite you to consider what spacious success could look like in your own life and how to start living intentionally, protecting your energy, and prioritising the moments that matter most.
