How to Back Yourself in Business: Insights from My Last 48 Hours in LA
Welcome to another episode of Powerful Stories . I’m Tory Archbold, and today, I’m diving deep into how you can back yourself in business, no matter where you’re at. I’m sharing some powerful insights I’ve learned, especially from my recent time in LA, and how you can apply them to take your business and personal growth to new heights. Plus, I’ll introduce you to 3 frameworks that will help you cultivate self-belief and show up as your true, powerful self. Key Takeaways: Growth Mindset: Your abilities are not fixed. Embrace every challenge as an opportunity to grow . Shift your mindset to one of growth: failure is feedback and an essential part of your evolution. Start by reframing setbacks and viewing them as stepping stones to greater success. Visualization & Affirmations: If you can see it in your mind , you can create it in reality. Visualize your success and use affirmations to support your belief in yourself. The power of positive self-talk is incredible – I’ve seen it work wonders for myself and many others. Practice daily: visualize where you want to go and affirm, "I am worthy of this success." Self-Compassion: As women in business, we often place unnecessary pressure on ourselves. But here’s the thing: you are allowed to make mistakes . Be kind to yourself, especially when things don’t go as planned. We’re all human, and that’s part of the journey. Remember, being compassionate with yourself gives you the strength to bounce back stronger. In this episode, I share an incredible story from Simone Clow , a LinkedIn Top Voice and a powerhouse tech leader . Simone’s journey is a testament to the power of backing yourself . She’s gone from behind the scenes to speaking at global events like SXSW and using her voice to spark conversations about purposeful technology. Simone’s transformation is all about stepping out of your comfort zone and owning your power.

In this episode, I want to dive into something that has been an absolute game-changer for me: the power of surrounding yourself with the right people . As you know, life has its ups and downs, and lately, I’ve been navigating life as a FIFO wife, juggling my business, my family, and a whole new world here in Riyadh.

Whether through my Coffee Date Strategy , mentoring clients, or even staying connected with my amazing friends and peers, having the right people around you is important if you want to thrive in business and life. I recorded this episode on my morning walk—because if there’s one thing I’ve learned over these past few weeks, it’s that taking action, staying aligned with my energy, and building meaningful relationships is the key to thriving in any phase of life.

How do I begin building my own community? Well, this episode is for you. I’ll share how I use the tools I’ve developed in my business to stay connected, stay inspired, and create real impact.

I Have Been Silent for a Reason - it's good to be back!
Hey, it’s Tory Archbold, and I’m so excited to be back with you on the Powerful Stories podcast. You’re probably wondering, “Why the silence?” Well, in today’s episode, I’m sharing why I’ve been quiet - and it’s not because I’ve been doing nothing, far from it. I’ve been doing a lot of deep thinking, realigning, and stepping back to focus on what truly matters. And I wanted to share it all with you. I recorded this episode on my morning walk because I promised myself that I’d commit to walking between 10,000 and 20,000 steps a day - and this walk felt like the perfect moment to record and connect with you. I didn’t want to outsource this podcast episode to anyone else. I wanted to upload it myself. I felt that the energy of creating it myself, the rawness of it, was important. It’s a big part of why I stopped outsourcing the production and took control back. In the episode, I dive into why I made that choice and how it’s allowed me to refocus and re-energize. You’ll hear why I paused the podcast and the importance of listening to your intuition when you need to step away from something, even when you’re doing great work. Sometimes, silence is needed to recalibrate—and that’s exactly what I did. And I’ll be honest, there was also a shift in my family dynamics that required my presence and attention. But it wasn’t just about stepping away. It was about getting grounded. Right now, I’m juggling three countries—Australia, Saudi Arabia, and the U.S.—and it’s been a huge learning curve, particularly in balancing it all while staying healthy and focused. I’ve had to be intentional with how I spend my time, and as a result, I’ve had some major breakthroughs that I want to share with you. I also talk about the PowerZone —my incredible community of women who’ve taken my Five-Point Story Framework and completely transformed their businesses and lives. It’s been mind-blowing to watch these women show up, own their stories, and make an impact. I’ll share a little bit about them, what they’ve accomplished, and how they’ve inspired me to keep going, even when it felt hard. And let’s talk about money and value. After spending a significant amount on podcast production, I made the choice to invest that money differently. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made. I’m all about aligning with the right people, the right energy, and saying “no” to what’s not working. As I reflect on my own journey, I’ve learned to trust my intuition in a whole new way—and I share how this trust has shaped my decisions in business and in life. I want you to trust your own gut, too, whether it’s in how you run your business or how you engage with your community. This episode is a personal, raw, and real look at where I’ve been and where I’m headed. It’s about aligning with your values, investing in the right people, and never being afraid to hit pause and recalibrate when you need to. So, here it is—no fluff, just m

Happiness is the key to longevity with Kamalaya’s Chief Wellness Officer Karina Stewart
Kamalaya Koh Samui has been a big part of my life for almost a decade and is one of the most awarded wellness retreats in the world. It was recommended to me when I was suffering from severe burnout and was struggling to step into the next level of my life journey.

To say I am grateful is an understatement. I said good bye to two decades as an agency owner and birthed Powerful Steps in 2019 to pay forward key life learnings to empower women in leadership with proven frameworks to break through the barriers they faced and have never looked back. The results have been extraordinary and in this episode I speak with Co-Founder and Chief Wellness Officer Karina Stewart about her own personal journey and commitment to transformation through the power of being aware and present. Karina shares how happiness is the key to longevity, how to protect your aura and energy to make a true difference to the lives of others and how she built a global business with her husband John Stewart through the gift of love and wisdom.

Marianne Williamson talks about The Art of Happiness with Tory Archbold
Marianne Williamson is one of the greatest spiritual leaders in modern history and a woman who is not afraid to own her power to shine a light for others. She is the author of 14 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers and is Oprah’s much loved ‘spiritual advisor and friend’. Her most famously quoted words are from the best-selling book A Return to Love . “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.” It was through the power of connection and synchronicity that I was introduced to Marianne, and we spoke about transformation being something we all want yet sometimes cannot reach. I believe a happy heart is a magnet for miracles and we explored this concept together and each agreed happiness comes from being aligned with love and purpose. Topics explored where Marianne shared her wisdom: What she learnt in her 40s, 50s, 60s and now 70s. How do you keep your heart open so that miracles find you? How can life lessons empower us to propel forward? How do we find freedom in our heart, remove the energy blocks or suffering we feel to rise up and shine a light for others? Marianne shares her thoughts on legacy and the one powerful message she wishes to give to the world. Marianne Williamson has created a powerful voice for women to stand up, show up, but most importantly to understand the power that they have within themselves to make a difference. I am truly honoured to share her wisdom and life lessons with you today. You can join Marianne in her online course Ageing Miraculously September 9 – 10 2022 via www.marianne.com .

At 50 I knew I had to change with Global Tech Entrepreneur Simone Clow
As co-founder and award-winning CEO of creative technology company Zebrar, Simone Clow has been on a mission since 2017 to push the boundaries of what’s possible. After a long career in advertising and visual effects in London and New York (Saturday Night Live, HBO), I was managing a Sydney VFX studio, working on VFX shots for feature film Hacksaw Ridge.

A life of success to significance with world record holder Jenn Drummond
Jenn Drummond is a friend of mine from the USA and she is a mover and shaker. The number 7 always shows up in her life at the right time. She has 7 children and has climber 7 summits. I was born on the 7th and resonate so much with the power of her story and the inner knowing that when you give to yourself you have the ability to give in an even greater capacity to others. A car accident in 2018 left her awestruck and emboldened. Rescue workers couldn’t imagine any scenario where she came out of it alive…but she did. That’s when she realised you don’t get to choose when you leave this life but you sure can choose how you live it. Strengthened by this awareness, she set out to live in a more authentic and adventurous way. Inspired to climb a mountain for her birthday, her son raised the stakes by suggesting Mount Everest. Not one to back down from a challenge, she accepted the pursuit. During her training, her coach upped the ante and proposed that she go for a Guinness World Record and become the first woman to climb the 7 second summits. The pursuit matched her desire to live a life of significance, not just success. Jenn is a world record holder who elevates others to master their own summit in life as an international speaker, an author, and Host of the Seek Your Next Summit podcast.

Paris for Beginners with Actress Rachael Coopes
Sometimes the best compass to follow is your heart. Actress Rachael Coopes had a serious boyfriend and successful career in Australia when she was awarded a scholarship to study at a renowned clown school in Paris.

Cue a coveted pied-à-terre with a view of the Eiffel Tower, quaffing champagne at midnight with her glamorous new amies, and learning how to flirt in French.

How to stop being a people pleaser with our Host Tory Archbold
We all want to achieve our career goals, but being a ‘people pleaser’ won’t help you reach your potential. It can actually de-value your skills, create more stress and leave you feeling unhappy at work. Think about the top entrepreneurs and leaders in the world. Now ask yourself, have any of them achieved greatness by saying ‘yes’ all the time? In order to step into your true power and become a success story, you must first learn to empower others by saying ‘no’ in a meaningful, constructive way. By being a truth seeker and not being afraid of change will allow you to achieve the best possible outcome for the company you represent or the board you may report to. It’s human nature to want acceptance of your workplace peers, however people pleasing is an unhealthy trait. It can place you under enormous amounts of pressure, de-value your skill set and leave you in a position where you no longer have control over the outcome. As Steve Jobs once said ‘focus is about saying no’. To say ‘yes’ and just implement the next steps without questioning the outcome showcases poor leadership and team management skills. In business, you must always speak the truth. It builds trust and integrity with clients and colleagues, leads to referrals and future leadership roles in high-impact global companies. When I started my first business 20 years ago, I quickly learnt that you should never take on clients or projects you don’t believe in. TORSTAR was a communications leader, partnering with global retailers who trust us to deliver exceptional outcomes for their businesses. We were in this position because mastered the art of saying ‘no’. No because we can do better, achieve more and drive category growth by having constructive debates on what is the best possible pathway to success. Those who consistently seek validation and acceptance might find themselves stuck in a ‘people-pleasing’ rut. On the contrary, those who use their voice and are able to be assertive will find themselves seeking out greater opportunities and partnering with like-minded people. My top three methods for success in business and life are: When you vibrate on a high level you attract the same vibration in return . The message is clear – you must take powerful steps into who you want to be and the rest will fall into place. It’s the classic law of attraction. You’re only as good as your last job . It’s up to you to show people your ability. Don’t be afraid of hard work and always be a team player. Word of mouth is key for referrals. You want others to sing your praises. Great things never come from comfort zones . Challenges teach us resilience and self-belief so seek out the right opportunities to achieve success in your life. Tory Archbold is an inspirational speaker who mentors entrepreneurs in Australia and the US. She talks about the p

Why our health is our wealth with award-winning beauty entrepreneur Vanessa Megan
I am a BIG fan of women in business who create and deliver impact in the wellness category simply because our health is our wealth. What we place into our bodies and on our skin truly does make a difference to our life force. In 2001, Vanessa Megan Gray Lyndon, founder and formulator of Vanessa Megan™, was inspired by a comment from her best friend that ‘you should never put anything on your skin you wouldn’t eat.’ This simple concept motivated extensive research into biochemistry and led Vanessa to the discovery of the multitude of synthetic materials found in the products we use on our bodies every day. Studying the power of natural extracts and oils, she began creating skincare and perfume from natural, wild harvested and bio-available ingredients transforming an idea into a multi-award winning brand. One of my favourite quotes from Vanessa in this interview is “ I always say to myself if there's an opportunity, I don't want to be sitting on my rocking chair at 80 thinking what if, what if I did that? Because I can't blame anyone - you know, just get off your bottom and trust that intuition and do it.’ Topics discussed: 1) What it meant to be a model in her formative years taking risks to win campaigns alongside supermodels including Claudia Schiffer. 2) How to gain self confidence from a young age and transform this into your wisdom wand in your 40s and 50s. 4) How Vanessa transformed her wellness knowledge into a global brand for women by trusting her intuition. 5) What her next powerful step as a global innovator for women will be. Vanessa and I met through the power of a connection and community. You can learn how you can build your own powerful, personal brand message and amplify your global network by signing up for our online Network Like a Pro Masterclass for $99.

How to create inner confidence with your host Tory Archbold
Do you struggle with confidence in the workplace? Developing and maintaining confidence is an essential skill that can have a significant impact on your career growth and success. Here are my toptips on how to boost your confidence: 1. Identify your strengths: Taken a moment to reflect on your skills and accomplishments. What are you good at? What have you achieved in your career so far? Identifying your strengths can help you feel more confident in your abilities and what you bring to the table. 2. Practice positive self-talk: The way you talk to yourself can have a significant impact on your self-confidence. Start paying attention to your inner dialogue and try to replace negative self-talk with positive affirmations. For example, instead of saying "I can't do this," try saying "I am capable of figuring this out." 3. Take calculated risks: Stepping outside of your comfort zone can be scary, but it can also help you build confidence. Look for opportunities to take on new challenges or responsibilities that push you just outside of your comfort zone. Set achievable goals and celebrate your progress along the way. Remember, building confidence takes time and effort, so you may want to consider joining the power of our community www.powerful-steps.com and signing up to our signature Business Attraction Program .

Transforming pain into purpose with EIR Founder Lisa Walker
When her husband Ben Walker—founder of outdoor media company Shopper—passed away in his sleep at age 47, leaving her as a single mother of two young sons, Lisa Walker realised the best way to survive her grief was to create a new future. She decided to turn her pain into purpose to co-found premium Australian wellness brand Eir Women—named for the Norse goddess of healing—in January 2023. . She was in her 40s and had to make some tough decisions. Tough because most women would not make that power move when they are meant to be grieving. She powered up because she had two young boys to nurture through their formative years and she knew if she could shine a light for them she could shine a life for others. She decided to tap into her ultimate superpower which was being curious about the world in which we live and how she could make a true difference to the lives of others. Lisa knew she would struggle moving forward if she did not claim her purpose. Topics discussed: 1) Women find it hard to claim their power because they are afraid to own what is truly happening in their own life. You have a very personal story where you claimed your own power to then create a business for other women to claim theirs…where did your story begin? What were the challenges you faced? 2) I know when I went through my own challenging times it took a few life lessons to discover that my health was my wealth. In creating EIR women what have you discovered that women want and need? (Please share some statistics on some in their 30s 40s and 50s here). 3) Stepping from corporate to becoming an entrepreneur - what have you learnt in building this business? What have been the challenges? 4) I have spent 20 + years creating and building brands and believe that one of the key ingredients to success is advocacy - tapping into the power of partnerships and communities to build a brand with a pay it forward mentality. I know you have seeded the product with some incredible results - can you share how you are building your brand via community and how our audience can. Get involved? 5) My favourite EIR product is ‘showing up’. Not only does the product name motivate me daily the product actually helps me become the best version of myself to give value to others because my body switches on despite the transformation changes it is facing through per-menopause - can you explain to our audience just how powerful and good this product truly is..

Why ageing is powerful with award-winning Journalist Melissa Doyle
Melissa Doyle is one of those women who believes in a mutual exchange of energy which means she is my type of woman. She wrote a book with Naima Brown about ‘How to age against the machine’ with the aim to empower women to age on their own terms. Through the journey of writing the book she discovered that as women got older, they felt invisible. Some women took it as a negative, and some took it as a positive.

We discuss how to transform women’s thinking so they view themselves as "a project’ to empower them to sit down and go, okay, who am I? Female empowerment is a favourite topic of mine -and we deep dive into a powerful conversation to learn: 1) What has shifted for Mel as she leaned into the next decade of life 2) What women truly want to know when they hit their 40s and 50s to combat the aging process? 3) The power of community and people’s stories to empower you to make changes now for your future wellbeing 4) Why so many women face homeless in their 50sand how to ask for help 5) How can we surround ourselves with people who truly care about our welfare?

How to give up your day job with Alisha Fernandez Miranda
Did you ever wonder what would happen if you actually gave up your day job and experienced the job of your dreams? Today on the Powerful Stories we speak to Alisha Fernandez Miranda to talk about her book “My What If Year” which is a thought-provoking exploration of what we're made of and what we could make of ourselves still.” On the cusp of turning forty, Alisha Fernandez Miranda has climbed to the peak of personal and professional success, but at a price; she's overworked and exhausted. She decides to give herself a break, temporarily pausing her stressful career as the CEO of her own consulting firm. With the tentative blessing of her husband and eight-year-old twins, she leaves her home in London to spend one year exploring the dream jobs of her youth, seeking answers to the question, "What If?" What follows is a spirited and hilarious journey as she gofers for two high-profile Broadway productions (and nearly tramples Stephan Sondheim), attempts to master a fitness regimen called Voga (a cross between yoga and "voguing"), feigns confidence while handling multi-million-dollar artwork at Christie's, and literally sets her shirt on fire while serving rack of lamb in a posh hotel on Scotland's remote Isle of Skye. For anyone who's ever felt stuck in a rut Alisha proves that it's never too late to say yes to second chances and explore the possibilities of life if we just say YES!

This method worked so well that I did it all over again in Powerful Steps. Every single one of my clients is someone who is in alignment with my values, intent and purpose.

How your personal brand can build powerful connections with PR Powerhouse Tory Archbold
During my years at the helm of TORSTAR we partnered with the top ten retail brands in the world and delivered extraordinary results. I’ve helped shape and build some of the most recognised celebrity brands around the globe and in 2019 turned my focus to my own personal brand when I launched Powerful Steps. One thing I’ve learned is the power of having a stand out personal brand and a question I get asked a lot is how to get the storytelling and positioning right in order to connect with other likeminded people. It’s about understanding the power of who you are and anchoring your unique personal brand with your story. Are you in alignment with your truth? If you understand who you are, what your intent and purpose is, and anchor your storytelling to your values, you will attract what you deserve. People will not authentically connect with you unless they feel they are in alignment with the values, intent and purpose of your business. In this episode, I talk about how I built my personal brand by being raw and honest, allowing people to resonate with my story and understand exactly how I could help them. I talk about how to increase your network by investing your time in 3 coffee dates a week with people in your tribe, who you want to partner with (and outside of your comfort zone - YES, I do this too!) I also run you through exactly how to plan these in-person and virtual coffee dates to ensure you’re reaching your ideal audience and making the most of your valuable time.

Listening To Your Inner Guidance to Forge Your Own Path with Pip Edwards
Today I am chatting with Pip Edwards who co-founded the fashion brand, P.E Nation. I have known Pip for many years and have seen her go from strength to strength in the fashion industry and deliver global impact. She truly embodies who she is unapologetically, and has developed such a powerful connection to her intuition shaping the impressive trajectory of her career. Pip shares with us her professional journey which started working in a traditional corporate world for PricewaterhouseCoopers and how she felt pulled towards a creative career and took a powerful step forward by believing in herself and leaving behind the expectations others had placed on her. She was always interested in fashion, always a free and creative spirit and the more she listened to herself, the more she realised she needed to take a powerful step into her creative path and destiny. After many years working in the retail and fashion industry for other brands, Pip started her own brand P.E Nation with Co-Founder Claire Tregoning in 2016 which has experienced year on year growth and a global reputation with the who’s who of influencers who regularly endorse the brand on their social feeds. The brand is fun, vibrant, unique and the truest expression of who Pip is. By trusting her gut instinct and being true to the kind of life Pip wanted to lead, she was able to cut through the noise of those around her, and step into her Power Zone wholeheartedly. I am honoured to be able to bring this conversation to you. Sit back and soak up all the creative energy, and get inspired to forge your own path!

Mastering your Mean Girl with Melissa Ambrosini
This is one thing you need to know right now about Melissa Ambrosini: her podcast has had over 14 million downloads. What! That puts her in Oprah territory (and the US media giant is her dream guest, of course) and says everything about how beautifully she connects with women everywhere. Melissa’s message is simple and directed straight at people like me, who at times hear that inner critic saying you’re not good enough. That you’ll never find the dream man. That you’ll never be out of debt, never fall pregnant, never feel beautiful. That you’re never enough. Totally wrong, says the Australian entrepreneur and coach. I love what she stands for and teaches to clients all over the world. So I invited her to be my guest on the latest Powerful Stories podcast. If you’re someone who has as at times been devastated by that tiny sledging voice inside your head, you’ll get so much value out of what Melissa—author of the bestselling Mastering Your Mean Girl—tells me. We talk Melissa’s amazing four-step CAST process to crush your inner mean girl and master self-love, decluttering your life, what she does in the car with her husband (I admit I do it too), how to stop being a people pleaser and her verdict on “one of the most powerful phrases” you can say. “I want to encourage everyone to practise saying ‘no thank you’ and getting really good at it,” says Melissa. “When you say ‘no thank you’ to someone else, you are saying, ‘Yes’ to yourself.

Working on yourself from the inside out with Leah Simmons
The primary focus of the fitness industry has always been on a person’s physical accomplishments and appearance. We’re told if we change ourselves on the outside, we’ll feel better on the inside. But, true transformation involves so much more than this. To live a life that’s in alignment, we must consider all areas of our health and not just our physical bodies. I’m so grateful today to bring you Leah Simmons, the founder of KAAIAA. KAAIAA is a transformational program that incorporates the four pillars of holistic health: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. By bringing together all four pillars, KAAIAA is a unique and holistic practice that fosters a balanced and centred life. Students in the class experience a complete journey, guided by Leah, that encourages them to break through emotional and mental obstacles and push past their physical limits. In this episode, we chat about Leah’s earlier career as a DJ and her soul searching journey to transform her career from the music industry to the fitness world. Leah is so open and authentic about her professional and personal growth. Moving to Bali and embarking on a journey of self discovery, showed her the need for an efficient program that incorporates all four modalities of health to redefine the word ‘fit’ and help you feel amazing from the inside out. During her journey working with her doula in her second pregnancy, Leah learnt the mantra “I can do this, I am doing this”. This belief fueled her through her labour and she realised how powerful a mindset change is to pushing through limiting thoughts and mental barriers. Leah encourages everyone to take control back into your hands as you are your own medicine - you’re the one doing it. Her classes are a true workout of the mind, body and soul. I’ve attended her classes and you can absolutely see the way people transform their energy in a single session. The power that Leah gives to everyone is incredible. I absolutely love the music, her 18 years of experience as a DJ has helped her create a mindblowing soundtrack and a sensory experience. Leah reminds us that you’re going to get back what you give out. The community that she has built through KAAIAA is so amazingly supportive and inspirational. We all need this in our lives. I would love for you to listen to her story and jump over to her website to join her next FREE online class. You’ll thank me! KAAIAA is the difference between working out to change your body and working out to change your life.

5 Powerful Steps to Transform with Tory Archbold
WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE PAST YOU THRIVE This past month has shown me just how powerful the work we do at Powerful Steps is to remove the shackles from people's past and propel them into the future professionally and personally. There are women on the Business Attraction Program who have owned their story to own their power and are now shining like superstars on LinkedIn and in their corporate roles. T here are men who have invested in powerful brand imagery to step up and into their power because they understand when they step forward they shine a light for the teams they lead. I know from my own transformation these are the 5 powerful steps that allow you to create the space to understand who you truly are and what you want from life. 1) If your feeling stuck - create a positive mantra to counter the painful thoughts - the more you rinse and repeat the power of where you want to go your energy will shift away from the negative situation you may find yourself in. 2) Invest in doing your 'own work'. This means understanding what patterns you need to break to get to the next level in life. You will find when you invest in working on YOU and understand your trigger points you will feel a sense of freedom to walk away from what no longer serves you by creating space for new and exciting opportunities to find you. 3) Be gentle with yourself. Don't expect an overnight miracle to happen because it won't find you until your ready. 4) If your in a situation which is causing you pain accept that the other person may not apologize . That's OK. Remember that's their story, not yours. You cannot 'fix' someone but you do have the ability to 'fix yourself'. Forgive the experience and walk away to embrace other opportunities. You don't need to sizzle in a shit pit for one more moment of life. 5) Engage in self-care. A happy heart is a magnet for miracles. If you want to attract the miracles make the time to receive them. Take time out in nature, go for a run, book in a massage and switch your phone off. The secret whispers of life will find you and you will be grateful you took the time to stop and listen to thrive. I trust this helped someone today. You can connect with Tory Archbold at www.powerful-steps.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How To Break Up With Burnout with Sophie Scott
Today on the Powerful Stories podcast I am joined by Sophie Scott, award-winning journalist and expert on the science of burnout. Sophie is incredibly knowledgeable, and what I love about her is that we completely align on our philosophy of what makes us better humans. We all experience burnout at some point, and unfortunately, many of us often ignore the signs until it’s too late. Yet burnout can have devastating effects. In fact, studies show that over 30% of people suffer from cognitive difficulties when they experience burnout – so it can have a real and damaging impact on your professional life, as well as your relationships and personal life. It’s such an important topic, and one I am so excited to be discussing today. Dring our conversation, Sophie shares that often the highest performers are most at risk of burning out. This is typically because we love what we do, and give so much to our business and career and family, until there’s nothing left for ourselves. However, we certainly can’t be the best version of ourselves for our employees, teams, friends and loved ones if we’re burnt out and have nothing left to give. So, Sophie shares her expertise around practices to prevent or help manage burnout, including the top three practices to incorporate into your life to ensure you avoid burnout and feel your absolute best. Topics Discussed [1:25] Sophie talks about what burnout can look like, including feeling mentally and physically exhausted, having trouble concentrating and feeling like you’ve got nothing left in the tank. When this happens, your body and nervous system takes over and says, ‘Enough. We can’t do this anymore.’ [4:48] Sophie shares that burnout occurs when stress has been chronic over a long period of time, and the body is unable to reset in between periods of stress. [6:04] Burnout is much more likely to occur when you don’t feel supported. Whether at work, in the family or in caregiving roles, burnout is not the sufferers’ fault, it’s a sign that the demands in your life are not being adequately supported. [7:23] Sophie opens up about her own personal experience with burnout and what led her to that place. While maintaining a busy job as a broadcaster, with no time scheduled in to switch off, one day Sophie jumped on a plane after a busy day at work, to fly interstate to host an awards night - she almost collapsed on the stage. This was Sophie’s ‘aha’ moment that she couldn’t keep going in the same way. [11:54] People-pleasing is common among women with burnout, so we discuss how to shift your mindset and how to have the confidence to commit to only saying yes to the requests and opportunities that align with your core values, as well as being are good for your own wellbeing.

How to Attract Abundance in Life with your host Tory Archbold
Lucille Ball once said “Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world". I believe you're not rich until you have something that money can’t buy - for me that is happiness. It can take years to find that elusive trigger point before you find it. Life didn't fall into synchronicity until I entered my forties. It took a long hard look at who I was and what I wanted from life to make tough decisions to get that breakthrough and find a sense of well-being, joy and contentment. In today's podcast chat we deep dive on why happiness is the key to unlocking abundance in your life. Are you ready to take a powerful step forward in business and life?

Rachel Hunter is an internationally renowned supermodel from Auckland, New Zealand, who began her successful career at the age of seventeen and has appeared on notable brands and magazine covers including Vogue, Harpers Bazaar, Sports Illustrated and many more. Rachel has also appeared in films and television programs worldwide. What I love most about Rachel Hunter is her truth and honesty - the foundational work she has done to drop out of ego into her life source of discovering who you really are, anchoring into the wisdom within and expressing yourself in an energetic and intuitive way. Rachel has recently embarked on an odyssey exploring beauty and well-being in cultures all over the globe for her acclaimed television program, "Tour of Beauty." She has just released a best-selling book chronicling her incredible experience. In this episode, Rachel shares her three beautiful rituals of intention, learning and action and how the process of seeking your purpose is so personal, a constant process of evolving and living in the ebb and flow. Born into a spiritually open family, Rachel had a deep connection with her late mother who sought many different and diverse spiritual practices. An open mind and heart became the legacy she passed on to Rachel.

Having completed over five hundred hours of Registered Yoga Training (RYT) and several master modules in meditation, Rachel is trained in all facets of the eight limbs of yoga. Rachel's transformational, dynamic practice includes breathwork and various disciplines of yoga with an emphasis on the Vedantic and Tantric traditions, incorporating Himalayan Kundalini.

How I became fearless with our Host Tory Archbold
Life always delivers us lessons and like most people I don't often talk about the hard times because I am focused on the future not the past. Hard times happen and they happen to everyone which is why at some point in your life when the timing feels right it is important to share them to shine a light for others. I always feel vulnerable sharing this side of my life and when I spoke to the top rating podcast FORTY for an episode with Those Two Girls seeing it shared on socials made my heart skipped a beat with the headline: • The grim reality of her glamorous life • Why keeping her family’s ‘dirty little secret’ nearly killed her • What was really going on behind closed doors and the steps she took to transform post-trauma. Then I saw the first comment from a mother and businesswoman in Queensland and she wrote 'just finished listening, I loved it. It has to be one of my favourites, left me feeling happy' and I knew in that moment I did the right thing because when we own our story we own our power and that means we can empower one another. In this episode I share the powerful steps I took to own my story and my power. How I found the courage to become fearless and step away from judgement. I trust it helps someone today.

You asked! How to take a powerful step forward with Tory Archbold
One of the questions I am asked often is how can we work together so I decided to dedicate this episode to sharing how we can partner and empower you in business and life with a series of powerful steps. A simple fact about me: Every morning I wake up with a happy heart because I have the privilige of partnering with women like YOU who want to take powerful steps in life. Watching them transform on our program's by tapping into the power of our community is life-changing and one of life’s greatest gifts. Here is my story and why it can help you: Believing in herself when no-one else would, at just 24 years old Tory started her career in the deep end, founding Australia’s most high-profile brand and communications agency, Torstar. Torstar didn’t get its reputation from just hype, the results were real. With her trademark passion and integrity Tory led her team of 22 staff and 10 freelancers to deliver award winning work with the world’s top-performing brands, celebrities and influencers including Zara, Nespresso, Seafolly, Sukin and Victoria’s Secret. Impressively Tory’s launch event for Zara in Sydney clocked over 22,000 people in attendance and was Zara’s most successful retail launch event to date. Always one to trust her intuition, after 20 years Tory knew that it was time to start a new chapter. Her ah-ha moment came after she launched 3 of America’s most powerful brands into Australia. At a sold-out launch event for Drew Barrymore’s brand Flower Beauty organised by Tory, Drew shared with the crowd about how she survived tough times. Watching, Tory thought, ‘lady, I see you and raise you five. You know what, I’m done.’ Shutting the doors to her agency in 2019, Tory launched Powerful Steps, an online community and platform for women making global impact. With five programs available, Tory nurtures and encourages C-suite level women to own their story, step into their power and take their careers to the next level. Through Powerful Steps Tory has helped transform the lives of over 600 women, including two recipients of ‘Telstra Business Woman of The Year’, board directors, media executives and COO’s. Top performing Australian corporates Salesforce, Commonwealth Bank and Optus also trust in Tory to speak to their leadership and sales teams, bringing inspiration and wisdom to their corporate events.

How to create your life vision with Canadian Powerhouse Katy McFee
Katy McFee empowers others to rise, creating their own life vision and activating it to align them with the tools they need to rise. I love connecting with women on Linkedin who have stand out personal brands and engage at a high level with others to show them the possiblities in life. Katy is a Canadian powerhouse who is passionate about empowering women and helping them to close the gender gap in senior leadership who saw her Linkedin followers rise by 30,000 within 12 months simply by showing up with purpose and shining a light on topics which she believed mattered. Katy spent 18 years working in sales and leadership, eventually becoming a VP and then EVP. As she struggled with the transition from Manager to Director to VP, she realized how few resources and mentors were available to her, especially as a woman. Seeing others struggle with this same transition, she left her corporate role and launched Insights to Action, with the mission of helping other women make the successful jump into senior leadership and show up as the leaders they want to be without burning out. Topics discussed: 1) Many people don’t believe they can create their ‘ideal’ future. You and I know the power of self-belief and that anything is possible in this lifetime with the right mindset and people by your side. How can women break through self-limiting barriers and create their own success story in 2023. 2) When you feel undervalued what powerful steps can you take to be seen and get heard to secure a promotion and thrive? 3) I have seen many leaders fail once they get that promotion because they step into ‘ego’ led leadership traits and fail to recognise it was a ’team effort’ to get them to where they are in life. How can you become an effective leader to help others rise once you have gained that longed for promotion or pay rise? 4) What are the 3 key habits of successful women? 5) What drives you? Empowers you? Inspires you? 6) Your next powerful step? Katy McPhee is the Founder and Principal at Insights to Action Coaching and Consulting where she works with women to break through to executive leadership and become the successful and impactful executives they want to be.

Come home to yourself with Media Broadcaster and Entrepreneur Gorgi Coghlan
Our Powerful Stories podcast guest today is Gorgi Coglan a singer, broadcaster and award winning owner of the boutique Hotel Ballarat who is not afraid to step into her power and deep dive into what makes her tick. She listens to her intuition and it has served her well throughout her high profile television career and as a mother of one. I was intrigued by the tag line on her new business Bermingham Farm, a sacred place she created with her husband for others to gather, learn, evolve and grow. It simply says “come home to yourself”. When I asked her what this meant it struck a chord as she shared “it means the power within’ taken from one of her favourite quotes by Chopra as " everything I desire is within me". In a world where external validation happens every minute of every day, when we're scrolling, when we are looking at this culture obsessed with celebrityism, when we are looking at anyone from a person that used to host a reality TV show, that becomes the US President. Georgi and I are 100% aligned as we both believe that it is important to remind ourselves that all of our power comes from within and if we do the inner work there are infinite possibilities waiting for us if we just take the time out in nature to stop, lean in and learn to evolve and grow. This is an incredibly spiritual insight into how you can propel forward this year and beyond by removing yourself from what no longer serves you and create space for what you truly desire in this lifetime. Topics discussed: 1) You had a high profile media career before taking a powerful step and focusing on your family - what encouraged you to make this power move? 2) From a starring role on The Project to small business owner - what are 3 key learnings that have kept you grounded and focused? 3) You partner with your husband to create extraordinary experiences for others in regional Australia - who’s the creative force and who’s the backbone of the business in terms of structure. How do you make it work raising your daughter because I know the juggle can be real. 4) Life can be over in a heart beat- what do you cherish most? 5) You are launching a series of events for women in 2023 - what are they and how can we become involved? 6) Your next powerful step?
