Well, this one’s a blink stinking belter.

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Jennifer Cox - psychotherapist, bestselling author of Women Are Mad and someone who gets it on a soul-deep level. Her book has been flying off the shelves (and rightly so), because it’s finally saying what so many of us have been feeling for years.

We’re mad. And not because we’re hormonal, irrational or overreacting. We’re mad because it’s all been on us for too damn long.

In this episode, we get right into the real stuff:

• The rage that lives in our bodies and why it needs a release
• That "WTF have I done?" moment in early motherhood
• The lonely hell of midlife, menopause and mental load
• The silent toll on women during Covid (and why no one's talking about it enough)
• And why talking about our anger isn’t dangerous - it’s necessary

We also laugh (a lot), swear (obviously) and talk about everything from kids who won’t make their bloody beds to how powerful it is when women stop gatekeeping and start lifting each other.

Jennifer’s six-word legacy?
“Make the world better for women.”

And honestly, same.

This isn’t an episode about staying angry. It’s about what happens when we finally let it out, stop apologising for feeling it and use it to build something better - for us, our daughters, and everyone coming next.

If you’ve ever shouted at your kids and then cried in the kitchen corner…
If you’ve ever wondered why you have to do it all and still feel guilty for dropping a ball…
Or if you’re just flat-out tired of holding it all together - this one’s for you.

🎧 Give it a listen. And then go buy her bloody brilliant book.

We are not broken. We are just done being quiet.

Ever had a moment where life sideswiped you and you thought, “Well, that’s it then. That was my chance”? Where you thought "Is this it?" Where the plan you had came to a big fat, hard stop and you rocked in a corner wondering what the actual feck you are going to do now?

Same.
And this episode? It’s a reminder that that moment is often the start of your real comeback. It's the plot twist that will become your power card.

This week on It’s Got Pockets, I’m sharing the story of one of my incredible clients who got completely blindsided at the top of her game - boardroom level, high-flying - and instead of spiralling (after some serious swearing), she looked me dead in the eye and said:

"I'm planning the biggest fck you I can think of… the success of me."

Mic Drop Moment.

In this solo episode, I’m diving into:

• Why Plan B (or C, or D) is not failure - it’s often freedom, the chance to reset that you never knew you needed
• The psychological impact of “goal grief” and how we reset with intention
• How to use The Inner Edge™ of goal-setting to craft your next chapter
• The questions every woman needs to ask to build self-authored goals
• AND why there’s no bloody sell-by date on success (and the science to prove it)

And I get real about my own plot twists too - from marriage breakdowns to business pivots, mid-menopause meltdowns to the fck-it years that followed the loss of a bloody brilliant friend.

This one is for the woman who’s rebuilding.
For the one whose plans went up in smoke.
For the one who’s burnt the vision board and is building something better - on her terms.

No more proving yourself.
This is about backing yourself.

This is your sequel season.

Right then. Let’s talk about clothes but not the “what’s trending on Instagram” kind. I’m talking about the kind of clothes that hold your hand on a hard day, remind you who the hell you are when you’re wobbling and walk you into the room like you’ve already claimed your seat at the table. The power of clothes is huge, dressing for our day can absolutely help us claim our power - especially if it's a dress or trousers with pockets obviously.

In this episode, I sit down with the bloody brilliant Abbey Booth, award-winning personal stylist and founder of Stories with Clothes. We go way beyond outfit inspo; this one’s about identity, confidence, emotional anchors and what the hell to do when you look in the mirror and think, “I don’t know who I am anymore.”

We talk red bras, power rings, wearing the shorts and why that pair of knickers might matter more than your to-do list. Abbey shares how style isn’t fluff it’s self-care. It’s psychology. It’s permission. And how we use clothes as a tool to step into the next version of ourselves, especially in this season of becoming.

We also call out the absolute state of women judging other women (especially online), and why showing up in your full, unfiltered self is the most radical act of confidence you can give yourself.

Whether your wardrobe’s full of stretchy waistbands and self-doubt or you’re halfway to reclaiming your fire — this episode will remind you that how you dress can be the first tiny-but-mighty step toward showing up for yourself again.

Because sometimes, becoming her starts with wearing the bloody dress with pockets of course.

Listen now if:

• You’re navigating a body that feels different and a wardrobe that no longer fits who you are (literally or emotionally).
• You’re ready to stop dressing for who you used to be — and start dressing for the woman you’re becoming.
• You need reminding that you’re allowed to take up space, be seen, and feel flipping fantastic doing it.

Heads up: there’s swearing, truth bombs, and absolute gold. You’ve been warned (and invited in).

• Outfits can act as supportive friends during tough times.
• Acceptance of body changes is crucial for self-love.
• Understanding body shape helps in dressing comfortably.
• Community support is key for how we show up.
• Women can be the harshest (and meanest) critics for other women.
