I'm excited to be able to share this particular topic with you on the podcast around career and work and how to own your career.

For as long as I can remember, career and work have been something that I've loved, and perhaps at times maybe loved too much where it was number one in my life for many years.

Your work is very important, but it is not everything. And so it's time to evolve and to take action.

In this episode, I share how you can own your career management, own your career development and do something different to make sure that you are evolving often.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{2:33} How our identity can often get caught up in a job title

{5:28} How our beliefs can limit us in our careers

{7:47} Starting to dream big

In today's episode, I wanted to speak to you about feeling trapped and what type of mindset you need to have if you are feeling trapped.

All of us feel trapped at one stage or another and through different transitions in our life. I know I can certainly recall many times in life that I felt trapped, but I'm only going to speak about three. And they have been times in my career in recruitment, I felt very trapped. I felt bored. I felt trapped because financially it was a good job. It paid really well.

Feeling trapped is one of those worst situations for you to be in, and you might feel trapped in your life and your work, but there is a way to escape this feeling without losing yourself.

Let's explore this now.

Here are the highlights from today's episode:

On today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Michelle Vroom, a business coach with over 15 years of marketing and PR experience.

One of Michelle's key messages was that every woman entrepreneur should be able to get clients whenever she wants. She provided some proven methods for visibility and relationship building that can help you achieve this. Michelle emphasised the importance of focusing on value-based connections and building relationships that align with your goals.

She also shared some tips on how to cope with the fear of change, something that many of us struggle with. By creating a sense of safety and security, she believes that you can achieve your goals and live a more fulfilling life.

The Kiki Kirby Podcast focuses on heart-centered conversations to inspire listeners in life, health, and work. This episode features Nicholas (Nic) Ferguson, a leader, coach, and therapist, discussing his journey and insights on purpose, stress management, and well-being.

Now, he has a thriving private practice where he helps high achieving busy professionals face the realities of stress in order to create positive sustainable change. When he isn't sat with clients, he can be found enjoying salted caramel ice-cream, watching a good drama, or exploring his creative side with design and photography.

PODCAST: The Kiki Kirby Podcast – Evolving in a heart centred way

Stress has become a part of our daily lives, and it affects everyone, regardless of the circumstances. In this episode, I discuss stress management and share some tips to manage it effectively.

The first step is to stop living life on autopilot. I explain why and how to do this, and how it can positively impact our lives. Next, we discuss what stress is and how to recognise it. It is essential to identify the symptoms of stress and address them before they escalate. Additionally, I highlight the importance of identifying the root causes of stress and addressing them.

Towards the end, I introduce the WOOP method, a four-step process that helps us achieve our goals without stress. By adopting this technique, we can set and accomplish our goals in a stress-free manner.

In summary, managing stress is crucial for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. By taking time out for self-care, setting achievable goals, and developing healthy coping mechanisms, we can manage stress effectively.

Welcome back to season three of the Kiki Kirby Podcast - Evolving in a heart centred way.

People are important.

You are important.

Mental health is everyone’s business. 

Today is #Worldmentalhealthdaytoday, let’s take a moment to check in with ourselves, our friends, our colleagues and loved ones. 

Mental health is our priority for us daily. 

Let’s do it together. Talking about our mental health can help us cope better with life’s ups and downs. 

“Your mental health is a priority. Your happiness is an essential. Your self-care is a necessity.”

It matters today and every day let’s recognise this and encourage open conversations about mental wellbeing and sharing ideas and resources for supporting our own and others mental health.

This year’s theme set by the World Federation of Mental Health is workplace mental health. The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities. 

Mental health at work includes creating a supportive environment, encouraging open conversations, offering resources like counseling, ensuring manageable workloads, and fostering a culture of respect and balance. It’s crucial for employee retention, performance, and overall company and team success.

We all have times when we feel down or stressed or frightened. 

Most of the time those feelings pass. 

But sometimes they develop into a more serious problem and that could happen to any one of us.

Everyone is different. You may bounce back from a setback while someone else may feel weighed down by it for a long time.

Your mental health doesn’t always stay the same. It can change as circumstances change and as you move through different stages of your life.

Work can have a huge impact on our mental health. It can be good for our mental health, giving us a sense of purpose, boosting our self-worth, and providing opportunities to connect with others. But it can also be a source of stress and anxiety and contribute to developing or worsening mental health problems. 

15%

of UK workers are estimated to have an existing mental health condition [1]

875,000

workers suffering from work-related stress, depression and anxiety in 2022/23 [2]

5th

most common reason for sickness absence in 2022 was mental health. [3]

In this solo follow-up episode, we delve into the topic of creating heart centred heart led boundaries. We begin by exploring when it's time to re-evaluate our boundaries and the importance of setting good, healthy boundaries to make ourselves a priority.

🎙️ The Kiki Kirby Podcast – Episode with Antje Langsch

Theme: From Vision to Venture – The Turning Point

In this heartfelt episode, Kiki is joined by Antje Langsch to explore what it really means to take a turning point in life and turn it into something meaningful.

Antje Langsch is a former global finance director of ultra-luxury hospitality organisations in the UK and the Middle East. She has worked for many market leaders such as Dorchester Collection and Savoy Group. With annual turnover nearing 100 mio, Antje managed large teams, large budgets and large-scale projects such as numerous hotel refurbishments. In her last Global role, she also served as NED & Board member of an international joint venture.

Throughout her entire career, Antje was driven to support others in their professional development.

Since leaving the corporate world this desire to help and support others in her capacity as a qualified coach, trainer & mentor expanded beyond professional development.

In 2021 she decided to follow her passion and transition into full-time consultancy.

Since then she has supported countless senior leaders and business owners in excelling at what they do and leading a fulfilling life.

Besides her experience of 20+ years in corporate finance, her approach is psychology-informed and focuses on mindset which is key to success.

Although a German national, Antje has spent more years living in the UK than in her native country and during that time she had the great honor of meeting Queen Elizabeth II.

In this Podcast Episode together, they unravel the journey of moving from breakdown to breakthrough, from silence to voice, and from vision to purpose-led work.

Antje’s story is one of deep personal transformation.

After years in a successful corporate career, she hit a wall, a burnout that couldn’t be ignored. This moment became her turning point. Instead of returning to the life she once knew, Antje chose to listen to her inner voice and step into the unknown.

 🔑 What This Episode Explores:

 🔄 The Turning Point

Antje shares the moment she knew something had to change—where her inner world no longer aligned with the external success she had built.

She describes the fear and freedom of choosing a different path, and how the smallest whispers within became the loudest truth.

 🌀 Healing from the Inside Out

Burnout forced Antje to pause, but healing required more than just rest. It called for deep emotional, physical, and healing.

 🌺 From Vision to Venture

As Antje healed, a clear vision began to take shape: to help women reconnect with their essence, release inherited patterns, and find clarity through embodied presence.

 What began as a whisper turned into a calling—and from that, a heart-led business was born.

 🔥 Releasing Old Identities

The conversation dives into the courage it takes to let go of who you thought you had to be—the ‘good girl,’ the achiever, the one who holds it all together.

Antje speaks about reclaiming anger, setting boundaries, and choosing truth over people-pleasing.

🌕 Embodying a New Way

Living cyclically, honouring rest, and embracing slowness are no longer luxuries—they're necessities.

Antje shares how her business is built on intuition, integrity, and deep listening rather than strategy alone.

💬 Standout Messages as reminders for you

“You don’t need to figure it all out. You need to feel your way forward.”

“The body remembers, even when the mind forgets.”

“Your turning point isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of everything true.”

🧡 Final Reflection

This episode is an invitation to pause and reflect on your own turning points. What whispers are you ignoring? What version of you is waiting to be remembered? Through Antje’s story, you’ll be reminded that your vision doesn’t have to be loud or perfect to be powerful—and that your venture can be born from the quietest, most sacred parts of you.

1. Clarify Your Why: Reflect on why you’re doing Dry January, whether for health, mindfulness, or habit change.
2. Practice Self-Curiosity: Pay attention to how you feel, both physically and emotionally, and use those insights to guide your journey.
3. Adjust Your Environment: Identify stressors and routines that may hinder your progress, and create supportive alternatives (e.g., replacing wine with a relaxing bath).
4. Build Resilience: Redefine resilience as the ability to seek support, build capacity, and care for yourself during challenging times.

In this episode, we're talking about what is stopping you from making a change.

What tends to happen is we've got so many setbacks and challenges that arise in our everyday life that feel like they prevent us from taking action and prevent us from actually making the change that is needed. And so the things that stop us from making a change in our lives are very individual, but in this episode, I'm talking about the most common ones that I've seen over my 20 years of experience of working with people.

Here are the highlights from this episode:

{1:38} How we get in the way of ourselves making a change
{2:22} Recognising that we need to make a change
{4:16} How we can often feel an obligation to other people and this stops us from making a change
{6:50} Finding clarity of the changes we want to make
{9:11} A challenge to find 30 minutes for yourself each day and ideas about what you can do in this time
{12:11} How often are you saying yes to people?
{13:51} Identify the changes you need to make and make a plan to achieve them

Say hello to Hermione Underwood on the show today. A founder, serial entrepreneur, recovering workaholic and newly appointed CEO of J.S.Vitamins in the UK and Europe.

Starting off with LVMH in Australia, Hermione went on to start her own PR agency The H Collective. But that wasn’t enough. This experience and network enabled her to co-found jewellery brand, a leather goods brand and a wine brand in fairly quick succession. Now she heads up J.S.Vitamins over here with a clear sense of purpose: to make J.S.Health a household name in the UK and Europe, just as it is in Australia.

One of the things I love about Hermione is that, despite her optimism, determination and candour, there are serious challenges that she’s had to work hard to overcome. Layers, that the deeper you go, the more you uncover. Like facing burnout, recovering from long Covid, creating boundaries with balance, and more recently, becoming a step-mum, getting pregnant and getting married.

In this episode, we talk about trying to find the right balance between driving ambition and personal health, her role as CEO of J.S.Vitamins in the UK and how she’s going to overcome her next adventure - motherhood.

Here are the highlights:

{1:44} Introduction - who she is, her story and how she got to where she is today

{05:00} How she knew that she is on the right path 

{10:15} Dealing with burnout and how she came out stronger

{11:40} Definition of love 

{13:30} How chasing joy changed her life

{18:30} Tips for successfully navigating major life transitions

{22:40} The importance of slowing down and creating healthy boundaries  

{27:10} Key steps to motivate and inspire your team

{29:15} What does heart centred mean to her 

{31:39} Tips to anyone who is wanting to create change

Welcome to the Kiki Kirby podcast. This is our space where we will have conversations with heart-centered people where you will find yourself inspired to love, grow, and learn to take action in your life, health, and work daily. You have permission to have fun. You are allowed to play. You are allowed to be happy and you are allowed to be joyful and you are allowed to be calm.

I help centered individuals find their way through coaching heart-centered professionals and entrepreneurs to slow down, to find inner peace, to grow their mindset through teaching you tools, strategies, or techniques to slow down, to find calmness amongst your chaos, gain clarity through your procrastination and to focus on your wellbeing.
