S2, Ep 3: Intuitive Career Change - with Sarah Potter09 Nov 202101:00:25

Welcome to 'The Rewriters' podcast. In this episode I speak with Sarah Potter AKA La Dolce Vita Coach. Sarah is a Hypnotherapist and Emotional Intelligence Coach, she offers Reiki, Marketing for healers, coaches and therapists and she's also a Vegan Cake Maker! Sarah describes herself as a 'multi-potential' woman. We talk about what this means during our conversation, but essentially Sarah has lots of loves and different threads to her career. She is unapologetic about it and she loves to help other women unfurl their own multi-potential careers too.


Coaching and hypnosis helped Sarah get unstuck from an outwardly successful life in international marketing that left her feeling hollow inside. Using many of the tools we discuss in this episode, she was able to build a life that embraced her love for travel, service and creativity – all supported by a portfolio (or multi-potential) career.


During our conversation we also discuss the role intuition and values played in her career changes and try to dispel some of the myths about changing your mind mid-career.

S2, Ep 2: Is Alcohol Holding You Back? – with Izzy McLean05 Oct 202101:05:38

My guest is Izzy McLean, a Transformational Coach and founder of The Whole Of The Moon, who works with women to help them make the changes they want to see in their lives. One of her key programmes She Bangs the Drum is dedicated specifically to women wanting a more positive relationship with alcohol.


Driven by her desire to understand and get a handle on her relationship with alcohol, Izzy spent many years studying the science and practice of behaviour change before training as a coach and resigning from her leadership role in education to start her own coaching practice. Now, she's on a mission to share what she has learnt and help other women make the changes they want to see in their lives too. During this conversation Izzy and I share the reasons why we each decided to reassess our relationship with alcohol and where we’re at in our own journeys. This episode was created for anyone who has a niggle that their relationship with alcohol might not be working for them either.

S1, Ep 9: How to Create Your Own Definition of Success (in Work and Life)15 Jun 202100:33:50

Welcome to this, the final episode of Season 1, with me your host and resident Rewriter, Monique Shaw.


Today’s episode is all about creating your own personal definition of success. This is such an important topic for me and is something I’ve been thinking and talking about a lot this last year, both personally and professionally. Creating our own definition of success is both brave and challenging but is completely liberating and life-changing.


In this episode I’ll unpack…

  • What we mean by success and being successful
  • The importance of getting honest with ourselves about how we define success
  • How we can (and should) look at success and wealth differently to create our own definition
  • The fluid and changing nature of success
  • My own ‘success’ journey and how I’m rewriting it


Throughout the episode I share a number of questions for you to answer and explore as you work through your own ‘success’ journey and rewrite.


In the episode I reference the following articles:

Welcome to Episode 8 of The Rewriters.


Today’s episode is with Marianne Cantwell, author of Be A Free Range Human, founder of Free Range Humans and a TEDx speaker. Her talk The Hidden Power Of Not Always Fitting In has over half a million views and was named by Entrepreneur.com as one of the “Top 10 TED talks to watch to overcome fear of failure”. Marianne left her corporate job over a decade ago and grew a successful business (during a recession) that allowed her to spend years travelling the world with everything she needed in her laptop. Her work helps thousands of people all over the world to create a life and business that doesn’t compromise who they are. Her work and ideas have been featured in Business Insider, Inc.com, BBC World, The Guardian, Psychologies magazine, Forbes Business Week and more. 

Her book, Be A Free Range Human, was a huge inspiration for me personally and professionally – I consider it essential reading for anyone thinking about quitting the 9-5 and creating a different kind of work life. During our conversation Marianne shares her own story and explains why we should celebrate our differences, find our secret superpowers and work with greater ease. She also turns the idea of ‘staying in your lane’ on its head.

S1, Ep 7: Making Bold Career Moves Without Certainty - with Dr. Parth Shah06 Apr 202100:48:53

Welcome to Episode 7 of The Rewriters.


The Rewriter we feature in this episode is Dr. Parth Shah. Parth has an extraordinary career story and an impressive history of career rewrites. He is an Optometrist by trade and a Trustee of the Board of the College of Optometrists, the UK’s professional body for optometrists. Earlier in his career he worked in academia as a lecturer and clinical supervisor, he completed his PhD, pivoted into the corporate world at a strategy consultancy, pivoted out of that into self-employment, founding his practice and along the way worked in Premier League Football and got an Executive MBA at Cambridge Judge Business School.

In this often philosophical conversation, Parth explains how he makes such bold career moves without certainty or bags of confidence. We discuss imposter syndrome and also delve into the need to create space in our lives and communities to allow deeper conversation, connection and empathy – particularly with those we disagree with.


Parth refers to the following books during the episode – Working Identity by Herminia Ibarra and Range by David Epstein. Connect with Parth on LinkedIn.

S1, Ep 4: Self-Acceptance and Coming Full Circle - with Tim Lodge11 Jan 202100:46:45

Welcome to Episode 4 of The Rewriters.


The Rewriter we feature in this episode is Paralympic Athlete, Wellbeing Advocate and Entrepreneur, Tim Lodge. Tim spent his 20s and 30s living the high life with a successful career in Corporate Finance. Although on the outside, he had all the trappings of success, on the inside he was suffering and by his 40s he was drinking daily and struggling with anxiety and depression. This all changed when at age 41 he received a phone call that would change his life in ways he could never have imagined.


Although Tim’s story of transformation is remarkable, this isn’t a story of achieving the unimaginable, it’s the story of uncovering who you are, self-acceptance and coming full circle – it’s the story of a man and his boat.

S1, Ep2: Finding Your Life's Work - with Nilesh Dosa02 Dec 202001:03:58

Welcome to Episode 2 of The Rewriters.


The Rewriter we feature in this episode is Nilesh Dosa. Nilesh is the ultimate rewriter. He is an entrepreneur, has maintained a corporate career and is the founder of not-for-profit, icanyoucantoo, working to level the career playing field for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.


Nilesh grew up on a London council estate and was raised to believe in education and achievement. He got a 1st class degree, topped his business school and got onto a prestigious graduate programme at one of the world’s top accounting firms. It was here he realised just how unprepared he was for the world he had entered. Over the next 10 years he slowly unpicked the narrative he’d absorbed around wealth and status - which ultimately broke him and broke him open.


In this episode we discuss how he unravelled his old stories about success and found his life’s work.

S2, Ep 7: How to Unhook from Toxic Productivity 06 Apr 202200:48:57

I’ve got a solo episode for you today and it’s all about – productivity! Over the next 50 minutes, I’m going to pick productivity apart… and then I’m going to show you how to be more productive.


In the episode I cover:

  • Our obsession with productivity
  • The problem with productivity
  • Toxic Vs Conscious productivity
  • My relationship with productivity – then and NOW
  • How to design your days for maximum impact, minimal depletion.


I’ll also share the system I’ve developed to help you design your time to be more consciously productive – it’s called ‘The Rewrite Planner’. ‘The Rewrite Planner’ helps you to identify your unique energy cycle, categorise your tasks into 5 different activity types, and then map them to your energy cycle for maximum impact with minimal depletion.

S2, Ep 6: Overcoming the Need For Certainty – with Nicki Coe 08 Mar 202201:08:35

Today I'm speaking with Nicki Coe - Marketing Strategist, Business Coach and Co-Founder of the marketing agency Luna & Lion.


Nicki worked in corporate media for many years but always knew she wanted to work for herself someday. Although she was constantly coming up with business ideas and plans, nothing stuck – she was always stumped by not having all of the answers and all of the detail laid out before she began. It was only when she overcame the old story that success requires you to know where you want to go that she was able to embrace and trust the pull of the next step, rather than planning for the big end destination.


Ultimately, it was through this letting go of control and the need to know for sure that led to her creating two successful and fulfilling businesses.


During our conversation Nicki shares her thoughts on:

  • Overcome the need to know for sure in your career
  • Starting a business with your best friend
  • Using your emotions and feelings in goal & business planning

S2, Ep 5: Owning Your Personal Brand at Work 08 Feb 202200:20:27

Today I’m discussing one of my favourite works topics – personal brand – and why I believe it is fundamental for creating a career that works for you.


In this episode I cover:

  • What a personal brand is and why it’s so important
  • What a personal brand ISN’T
  • 3 personal brand ‘myths’
  • My simple formula for rewriting your personal brand


I also share how I came across the power of personal brand quite unexpectedly in my career and then used it to get noticed (and promoted) at work for doing the things I loved most. Personal brand helped me to rewrite my career story multiple times and ultimately allowed me to create and launch my own business.

S2, Ep 4: DIY PR and The Art of Self-Promotion - with Pippa Goulden11 Jan 202201:01:01

In this episode I speak with small business PR expert and Founder of the PR Set, Pippa Goulden. Pippa is passionate about giving small business owners the knowledge and confidence they need to get their business visible and help them to grow through PR. What sets Pippa apart is the way she widens access to PR and demystifies an otherwise expensive, intimidating and inaccessible industry. Pippa rewrote her own career story leaving PR agency life and work as a magazine editor to create a business that makes PR accessible and doable for businesses who may have felt it was out of reach for them. She loves PR and she loves helping people succeed and now she does both in a way that also works for her and the way she wants to live.


During our conversation we discuss:

  • How we get PR wrong
  • The importance of mindset
  • Getting over our fear of rejection
  • Pippa’s guiding principles for self-promotion


Pippa also shares the old stories she had to let go of to create her business and the work/life she now has.

S3, Ep 5: How to Stop the Perfectionism-Procrastination Cycle01 Feb 202600:28:06

In this episode I’m talking about perfectionism and it’s very cosy bedfellow procrastination.


I work primarily with objectively successful professional women (I work with men too, but over 90% of my clients are women who hold senior positions in their company or run their own businesses – sometimes both) – and a trait that comes up time and time again for these women is perfectionism – their constant and relentless pursuit of perfection. It can be a loud and urgent pursuit, but it can also be a low and constant hum.


So many incredible, talented and ambitious women are shackled by their perfectionism because more often than not, it’s not helping them to reach greater heights, it’s holding them back. It’s keeping them smaller and more muted than their talents, passions and skills deserve to be.

So today I want to tackle it and provide some ways you can finally break free from the perfectionism/procrastination cycle.


The episode is broken down as follows:

  • The Perfectionism-Procrastination Cycle explained – what perfectionism is, what procrastination is and how the two are linked.
  • We’ll unpack The myths, lies, harms and excuses of perfectionism 
  • We’ll get practical and explore how to move From perfectionism into action – including The Intentional Procrastination Method 
  • Self-Coaching Questions for you to interrogate your own relationship with perfectionism and procrastination

S3, Ep 4: How to Befriend Your Inner Critic: Stop fighting your mind and start leading it01 Jan 202600:37:47

In this episode, we’ll explore why the common advice to "silence" or "erase" your inner critic is destined to fail. Instead, we’ll dive into the transformative power of listening to, learning from, befriending – and ultimately transcending – that critical inner voice. Whether you're struggling with confidence, imposter syndrome or negative self-talk, this episode provides guidance and techniques to turn your harshest critic into your greatest ally.


You'll learn:

  • The psychology of the inner critic: What it actually is and why it’s trying to protect you.
  • Identifying limiting beliefs: How to spot the hidden assumptions holding you back.
  • Actionable tools & techniques: Methods for managing the inner critic in-the-moment and longer-term.
  • A deep-dive case study: A real-life look at someone’s personal experience with their inner critic.
  • Self-coaching framework: Questions to help you befriend and move beyond your critic, starting today.


Stop fighting your mind and start leading it.

S3, Ep 8: How to Stop Being A People Pleaser (Without Being A D!ck About It)01 May 202600:32:11

Welcome to How to Stop People Pleasing (Without Being A D!ck About It)


In 2016 I was a happily-pregnant work-addicted people pleaser in a job I loved with pretty much exclusively externalised self-worth.

I didn’t set out to get over my people pleasing tendencies and poor boundaries (although I was very aware they were an issue) – but I did need to deal with the logistics of my boundary-less, work-addicted life post-baby. What I set out to do then was get a handle on my time… where I ended up was letting go of my multi-decade tenure as a people pleaser and finally learning how to say NO.”

Today’s episode outlines how I did it and how you can too. Along the way I delve into the psychology of the people pleaser and share some self-coaching questions to help you interrogate (and transcend) own relationship with people pleasing.


The episode is broken down as follows:

  1. The psychology of people pleasing
  2. My people pleasing recovery journey 
  3. How you can quit people pleasing too
  4. Self-coaching questions for people pleasers
