Flourishing Unfiltered: Tackling Loneliness, Self-Doubt, and Overwhelm in Business

Have you ever felt like an imposter, questioning your worth and fearing judgment if you seek help?

Do you experience the isolation of entrepreneurship, overwhelmed by the sheer amount of work and responsibility?

Are you a new coach or leader struggling to find clients while maintaining a facade of success?

Welcome to Flourishing Unfiltered: Tackling Loneliness, Self-Doubt, and Overwhelm in Business - THE podcast for high achievers who seek a professional life that feels as good as it looks and are tired of feeling like they’re the only ones struggling on their journey towards success.

Born out of countless conversations with new coaches, leaders, and entrepreneurs, Flourishing Unfiltered addresses these often overwhelming challenges. Hosted by Dr Maike Neuhaus, a psychologist specialising in self-leadership and positive psychology, and Kerrin Smith, a positive psychology coach and leadership consultant, our podcast is dedicated to those who aspire to realise their potential and live their purpose but face significant obstacles along the way.

Our mission is to normalise these struggles and provide a supportive space where professional growth is celebrated and vulnerabilities are shared. We believe that by diving into the seldom-discussed aspects of the journey—struggles, self-doubt, and vulnerability—we can create a community of understanding and empathy.

Each episode features an interview with a successful guest willing to share their raw, unfiltered experiences. Following each interview, we reflect on our guest's insights, offering additional perspectives and practical strategies. Our discussions aim to empower high achievers to embrace challenges as essential steps towards their true potential.
