What happens when you stop trying to fit in and start showing up as yourself?

In this episode, I sit down with Harriet—a British singer and songwriter whose voice evokes the timeless spirit of the 1970s. With a sound that resonates across generations, she is fast becoming one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary music.

Harriet has built a devoted audience online, with over 100M+ online engagements and a combined social media following of 685,000 fans across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. In 2025, she completed a sold-out 30-date UK tour, delighting audiences nationwide and further establishing her reputation as a captivating live performer.

Her career continues to grow internationally with the recent announcement of her first U.S. tour in early 2026, marking the beginning of her next chapter in America. For tour dates and tickets, go to www.harrietsings.com

Harriet is continuing to work on new original material with legendary songwriter John Bettis, co-writer of many of The Carpenters’ biggest hits. This collaboration places her firmly in the lineage of classic songwriting, while showcasing her own artistry to a new generation of fans.

Blending heartfelt originals with reimagined classics, Harriet is curating an era for today’s audiences; a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new.

But this isn't just a conversation about music. It's about what it takes to silence the noise, stop comparing yourself to everyone else, and dare to be exactly who you are.

Here's what we cover:

The turning point when doubt crept onto stage—and how she reclaimed her confidence

Why feeling like an imposter means you're actually growing

How authenticity beats perfection every single time

The power of trusting your gut, even when it's uncomfortable

If you've ever felt like you don't belong, like you're not enough, or like you need to be someone else to succeed—this episode is for you.

Stop waiting for permission. Stop playing small. Trust your gut and take action.

That voice in your head saying "Who do you think you are?"

Here's what nobody tells you: if you're not experiencing imposter syndrome, you're playing small.

Research shows 70% of people feel like frauds at some point—and you know who feels it the most? High performers. The ones actually doing the thing.

But here's the shift: imposter syndrome isn't the problem. It's actually a sign you're doing something right.

In this episode, I'm giving you a powerful, proven 3-step framework that completely reframes how you think about this feeling. Because you're not overcoming imposter syndrome—you're becoming a different person.

Stop waiting until you feel ready. That day will never come.

Your move: Listen to this episode. Then take one action that scares you.

Let's go.

Why do 92% of New Year's resolutions fail? Because most of us are chasing goals that sound good instead of goals rooted in who we truly are.

In this game-changing episode, I sit down with Chris Bailey—bestselling author of Intentional: How to Finish What You Start—to completely reimagine how we set and achieve our goals.

You'll discover:



Why SMART goals are often less effective than doing nothing at all (yes, really)



The 12 fundamental human values that drive everything you do—and how to identify yours

Why waking up at 4 AM has zero correlation with success (backed by research)

How to know when quitting a goal is actually the smartest move

The "Rule of Three" that will transform your daily productivity

Chris breaks down the science of goal attainment in a way that's practical, tactical, and deeply personal. This isn't about hustle culture or Instagram productivity hacks. It's about aligning your goals with your core values so you actually want to finish what you start.

Chris Bailey is a productivity expert whose work has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, and TED. His books have been published in over 40 languages, and his new book Intentional is already a bestseller.

If you're tired of setting goals you never finish, this episode is for you. For your life to be different, your days have to be different.

2026 is here! Are you already feeling overwhelmed and behind—or are you ready to protect the plan you created and actually live with intention?

In this jam-packed episode, I'm giving you the three powerful moves that will help you turn down the noise and turn up your purpose in 2026. This isn't about hustling harder—it's about hustling on purpose.

You'll discover:

The 5 Why's exercise that reconnects your goals to your deepest values and reignites the spark that's been buried under routine

How to move from constant balance to seasonal focus—the framework that frees high performers from guilt and creates MORE time

Why doing less actually achieves more (and the research that proves constraints unleash creativity, not hinder it)

The 90-Day Reset system that keeps your ambition aligned and your wheels on the road all year long

In the episode, I talk about how to write your Season Statement:

Here's the format: For the next [timeframe], I'm prioritizing [theme] so I can [reason].

Here’s how to write your Clarity Sprint:

Step 1: Write your biggest goal for 2026 in one sentence. Make it concrete. Make it measurable. No fluff.

Step 2: Ask "Why?" five times. With each answer, ask yourself, "Why is that important?"

Step 3: Name the tradeoffs for the next 90 days. What are you willing to give up for this goal? And what are you NOT willing to give up? Be honest. What are you willing to sacrifice to reach it?
