  • 241. Celebration of Difference and Allyship
    Jun 20 2025

    Send us a text

    In the third episode of our Taking Pride series, we explore the vital role of allyship in creating safe, respectful spaces for LGBTQIA+ colleagues—especially those who may be vulnerable or marginalised.

    We’re joined by the courageous and articulate Sophie, who shares deeply personal stories of moments where a lack of allyship turned already challenging experiences into something far more painful. Her reflections highlight why recognising, respecting, and celebrating differences isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential.

    This episode is a call to action for all of us to notice when support is needed and to have the courage to stand by someone or call others in with compassion and clarity.

    Have you ever stepped up as an ally or witnessed a powerful moment of support? Share your ‘ally moments’ with us on Instagram @secretsfromacoach and help amplify the power of everyday solidarity.

  • 240. An Everyday Guide to Navigating Gender Complexities
    Jun 13 2025

    Send us a text

    In the second episode of our Taking Pride series, we explore the evolving language around gender identity and how greater understanding can lead to everyday moments of inclusion.

    We’re joined by the thoughtful and engaging Olly, who shares his lived experience of identifying as a Demi-Boy and what that means in practice—offering a personal perspective that brings clarity and depth to a term many are still learning about.

    This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own learning journeys and to approach gender terminology with calm curiosity rather than fear of getting it wrong. We discuss how open-minded conversations and small shifts in language can create space for everyone to feel seen and respected.

    Have you had an “aha—I get it now” moment around gender identity or language? Share it with us on Instagram @secretsfromacoach to inspire others and grow a culture of learning and inclusion.

  • 239. Pride Month - Am I Safe to Be Me?
    Jun 6 2025

    Send us a text

    In the first episode of our special 5-part Secrets From a Coach series for Pride Month, we’re joined by the insightful Steph Constantinides to explore how inclusion can become part of everyday workplace experiences.

    Steph shares personal reflections on what it means to navigate work environments where even the simplest introductions can involve careful risk assessments about self-disclosure. She invites us to consider how small actions—like welcoming a new colleague with warm curiosity instead of invasive questioning—can foster genuine belonging.

    With calm wisdom and practical insight, Steph helps us understand the moments that can transform a workplace into a safe and affirming space. Her stories highlight the power of empathy, reassurance, and intentional connection.

    Join the conversation on Instagram @secretsfromacoach, where we’re inviting listeners to share their own ‘creating safe moments’ stories.
