Bianca Best, two-time bestselling author and coach, joins Owning Space to share insights from her book 'Big Impact Without Burnout'.

We discuss the lessons she learnt from living with the demands of burnout and explore whether women can truly "have it all" without sacrificing their well-being. Together, we dive into practical strategies to set boundaries, manage burnout, and create sustainable success on your own terms. If you’re ready to reclaim your energy and redefine what balance means, this episode is for you.

In this short episode, I talk about my personal experience with burnout - how it felt, and why it’s something so many of us go through, but shouldn’t have to.

I share a few reflections ahead of my interview with bestselling author Bianca Best, where we dive deeper into what causes burnout and how to prevent it before it takes hold.

In this short intro, I share the story behind Owning Space – why I created it, what led me here, and what this podcast means to me.

After years of navigating chronic illness and feeling repeatedly dismissed by the system, this journey is deeply personal. But it’s not just about me. I’ve heard so many women’s stories – of being overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told their experiences didn’t matter.

That’s why I created Owning Space. To shift the narrative around women’s health. To speak up when it’s easier to stay quiet. And to create a space where our voices are heard and our stories respected. This podcast is for every woman who’s ever felt ignored, silenced, or sidelined. We’re done shrinking. We’re reclaiming space – together.

In this first episode of Owning Space, I speak with Emma Cox about the stigma surrounding endometriosis, the challenges patients face, and why real advocacy, better research, and urgent policy reform are needed. Emma shares her vision for a future where no woman suffers in silence.
