practice what you preach... something that’s lesser-known about my work is that, in addition to my private practice, i partner with a best-in-class collective of executive coaches to support entire c-suite teams.

we each coach an individual leader while taking a systems-based approach to the team as a whole.

this week, i got to spend 3 days in person with some of these impressive colleagues.

we used many of the same tools we bring to our clients’ teams to deepen our own trust, connection, and growth. (i mean, they work 😉)

and because i’m a big believer in work/life integration, brendan and i extended the trip for 2 days to relax and connect.

this week epitomizes the kind of life i’ve spent years intentionally designing: meaningful, impactful work with people i deeply respect, alongside the freedom to prioritize the relationships and experiences that matter most.

the more i connect with many of you here on this platform, the more i hear that this combination of meaningful work, freedom, and flexibility is something so many of you crave, too.

might this be a nudge to move one step closer to it?

"It's the only addiction that we're publicly validated for."⁠
⁠
Achievement Addiction...⁠
⁠
Dr. Mandy Lehto was a Director at a global investment bank and a single mother, moving up the ranks fast. Then a workout ended in a blackout, and she realized the strategy that made her successful had stopped working.⁠
Now she's an executive coach to Fortune 500 leaders and the host of "Enough, the Podcast." We talk about why healing can become one more thing to overachieve at, and what surrender, community and inner child work changed.⁠
⁠
In this week's episode:⁠
→ Why pushing through is often exhaustion in disguise⁠
→ How healing can become one more thing to overachieve at⁠
→ Why nobody Googles "how can I be enough"⁠

How do you know when something is actually enough?

Or are you always just trying to reach for "more"?

@mandylehto shares the insidiousness of of always trying to reach a moving target.

"I'm not enough."

If that sentence has ever crossed your mind, this episode is for you. And honestly? It's for me too.

I've admired Dr. Mandy Lehto @mandylehto for years. Not just for the work she does around one of the most universal wounds we carry, but for how fully and authentically she shows up online while doing it.

But this conversation went so much deeper than I expected.

Mandy shared how she got into this work in the first place, the very real and very hard conversations she had to have with herself when she finally realized no one was coming to rescue her, and how sitting with her mother in her final season completely reshaped her understanding of what's actually enough.

Here's what you'll take away:
✨ Why "enough" is a target that keeps moving, no matter what you achieve
✨ What it means to try to win at healing, and why that keeps you stuck
✨ Why every goal you're chasing is really about the same thing

This is one of the most candid, honest, and relatable episodes I've ever recorded. I laughed more than I expected to, and I've been sitting with it ever since.

Have you ever had that heavy feeling of not being/doing/having enough? Chasing enoughness, like we’ll finally get there when we [fill in the blank], is something we can likely all relate to.

In this week’s episode I have the pleasure of speaking with @mandylehto host of Enough, the Podcast and coach for the past 18 years, about enoughness.

How can we shift our perspectives on this and find our way to feeling whole?

We gathered in Italy 3 years ago as strangers, and left as a sisterhood. When we returned to our homes and lives in the real world, we promised to keep the love flowing across distances and oceans and time zones.

When sh*t hits the fan, the sisterhood answers the call. Today we agreed to join in a collective breath, to gather our love and energy together in power, and send it like a beacon into the universe.

Collective love doesn't stop the world from moving the way it will. But it reminds us we are tethered, connected, surrounded in softness as it moves.

From our hearts to yours, if you do one single thing today: let it be deep Love.

When @richlitvin says “let’s get on a boat”… you say YES. 🚤

A day on the water in Canary Wharf with some of my favourite humans from the 4PC community. Deep coaching conversations, ridiculous laughter, and some aha moments!

@saramilnerowe and @jen at the sail! And @tatiana_s_poliakova and me just having fun!

Oh, and @rmaelevates and @mandylehto at the grill. Because apparently some people are just that talented. 🔥

Rare. Precious. Deeply grateful. 💙💙💙

It took me three weeks to post this.

I usually write about my 4PC experiences the moment I land. The integration happens fast, the words come quickly, and I’m straight back into the rhythm of life and work.

Not this time. Granada took something from me. Or maybe it gave something to me. I’m still not entirely sure which.

Three weeks ago, I played Traitors inside a 16th-century convent in Granada with 30 extraordinary leaders.

I watched brilliant people abandon their own instincts the moment the majority leaned in a different direction.

I watched the traitors let the room do the work, patiently, invisibly, masterfully.

And I watched myself get completely blindsided by the person I least suspected.

It left me with a question I haven’t stopped thinking about since.

What game are you playing? And which team are you on?

Full reflection in a LinkedIn newsletter that’s coming soon, and only took me 3 weeks to write :-)

A little late posting about the amazing International Women’s Day event at HSBC on 6th March… but today felt like the perfect day to share - because I just celebrated my birthday. 🎂 (Which I will be posting soon!)

I’m grateful to have spent part of this month celebrating the power of women supporting women and learning from some incredible voices. The event was event focused on leadership, opportunity and creating environments where everyone can thrive.

A big thank you to the fantastic speakers @mandylehto , Sarah Abrahams, @bex_galligan , and @claireemccollum for their inspiring insights on confidence, culture, and accelerating careers. It was also great to hear the perspectives from Chris Pearson (Head of Intermediaries at HSBC) and Jonathan Stinton (Chair of IMLA), whose contributions reinforced how important it is for everyone to be part of the conversation and progress. Thank you to Shioban for hosting a brilliant event and for Julia for inviting me!

International Women’s Day is about recognising progress while continuing to work towards inclusive workplaces where talent can succeed. Feeling inspired heading into another year.💜

Today we celebrate International Women’s Day.

A day that honours women around the world.

When we come together, magical things happen.

Let’s support and lift each other up so we can be the best versions of ourselves and create positive change in the world.

Here’s to strong women, kind, compassionate, fearless, curious and courageous women. May we know them, may we be them, may be support them, may we raise them.

And yes, there’s room for all of us at the table.

To the women in my life who’ve supported, encouraged, and inspired me along the way – I can’t thank you enough.

Who are the women in your life you want to acknowledge and celebrate? Pop their names in the comments below.

Here’s just some of mine: @tamsinfd @redpunksocial @essenceofwomanhood @anthony_susie @mandylehto @suzzywuzzymummy @suzannedibble @grainnedunne.sk @mandylehto @m_shillingford @theimageconsco @suerevell_lifelovelegacy @amandajslack and many others xx

The midlife crisis is not a breakdown.⁠
⁠
It’s a wake up call.⁠
⁠
In my Audacious Conversation with @MandyLehto, we talk about the constant pull for “more”. The next thing, the next achievement, the next version of you.⁠
⁠
And why slowing down can be the most productive move you ever make.⁠
⁠
If you read my Audacious 10 newsletter this month, you’ll know why Mandy is on that list.⁠
⁠
Full episode is on my YouTube channel. Link in bio⁠
⁠
Where are you chasing “next” instead of choosing “now”?

As I celebrate 10 years of @ADAPTAA_Executive_Coaching this year, I'm honouring 10 people who shaped this journey for me. The ones who showed up when it mattered most. The ones who believed before there was proof. This is the second.⁠
