🎙️ EPISODE DESCRIPTION:Have you spent so much of your life being the capable one, the peacekeeper and the woman everyone can rely on that you’ve lost touch with what you actually want?In this episode, I’m speaking with Katherine Sayson, Speaker, Author and Founder of the Bold Purpose Collective, about the hidden emotional patterns that can keep high-capacity women living through performance rather than purpose.We explore the “good girl” identity, people-pleasing, over giving and the pressure women can feel to carry everything while insisting they’re “fine”. Katherine shares how midlife and perimenopause can become a mirror, bringing deeper questions about identity, purpose, worth and who we want to be in the next chapter of life.We also explore Katherine’s powerful distinction between performance, which creates pressure, and purpose, which creates life, and how noticing what drains you, energises you and brings you joy can help you reconnect with the person beneath all the roles you’ve learned to play.
