04 - Diary of a Misfit Penguin: The Live Book Launch

Today’s episode is something very special.
What you’re about to hear is the live audio from the launch of my new book, Diary of a Misfit Penguin.
It was an evening filled with incredible women, dear friends, family and colleagues - people who have walked alongside me through so many chapters of my life.
We were a few minutes late pressing record (entirely on brand for a real, human celebration), so you’ll join us as the conversation is already flowing. Cups of tea are being lifted, glasses are clinking, and my heart is very much in my throat.
In this live conversation, we explore:
• The girl arriving at Euston with big dreams
• Being “the machine” — and why it became a cage
• The flamingo in the penguin suit metaphor
• Toxic heirlooms and inherited self-doubt
• The belief that changed everything: I belong to me
• Why self-love is not selfish, but essential
• The ripple effect of one woman choosing herself
This wasn’t scripted. It wasn’t polished. It was honest, reflective and deeply human.
Most of all, it was a night about visibility - about what it means to stop performing and finally allow yourself to be seen.
Wherever you’re listening from, imagine you’ve just walked into the Zoom room.
Grab a cup of tea.
Let yourself be part of the circle.
💜 Thank you for tuning in to Inner Alchemy: Transforming Self-Care into Global Sustainability.
