Don't Let Elon Knock You Up 47:17

47:17

Send us a text The digital landscape is shifting, and not always for the better. In this episode, we break down the latest moves by Elon Musk and Donald Trump, examining how their actions are shaping American society in real time. From executive orders targeting DEI programs, birthright citizenship, and refugee admissions to the ripple effects of these decisions on marginalised communities, we explore the deeper implications of these policy changes, beyond the headlines. But it’s not just about policy; it’s about power, influence, and the unsettling rise of authoritarian tendencies. We unpack the economic and social consequences of these shifts, the role of humour in resisting digital and political chaos, and why resilience and solidarity are more crucial than ever. Tune in for a bold, unfiltered conversation that cuts through the noise and asks the hard questions, because staying informed is the first step in pushing back.…

How Business has Shifted in 2025 52:31

Send us a text Businesses are feeling the pinch, and it’s showing up in the way clients are approaching work. We’ve noticed a big shift, from an increase in requests for free work to a growing demand for more affordable support packages. It’s clear that financial caution is top of mind, and honestly? We get it. But navigating this new landscape means making some smart moves. We dig into the mindset shifts that can help businesses stay steady, the power of adaptability, and why visibility audits (yep, we’re talking about them again!) are key to keeping opportunities flowing. We also talk about the importance of self-compassion, because being too hard on yourself won’t pay the bills, and the value of honest self-evaluation to make sure you're making the right moves, not just reactive ones. Through it all, we come back to one simple truth: staying informed, staying kind, and showing up with integrity will always be a solid strategy. Whether it’s in business or in life, being the person you want to see in the world makes all the difference.…

Deep Fakes, Botox & Molly-Mae 27:52

27:52

Send us a text Beauty standards, ageing, and the ever-evolving world of social media, this conversation goes everywhere, from hair colour dilemmas to deepfake technology. We chat about the small but surprisingly big decisions, like debating whether to embrace the greys or commit to a full blonde transformation, and the ongoing love-hate relationship with hair extensions (because let’s be honest, maintaining 20 inches of hair is a commitment). Then there’s Botox, its effects, the possibilities of reversing it, and the way it’s shaping our perception of ageing. We also dive into Molly-Mae’s recent documentary, unpacking the challenges of public visibility, the scrutiny around her brand launch event, and what it really means to manage a personal brand under a microscope. We explore the eerie world of deepfake technology, how AI-generated content is blurring the lines between real and fake, and what this means for the future of media, trust, and authenticity. It’s a candid, thought-provoking discussion that touches on the things we see (and don’t see) in the digital world.…

Send us a text Success doesn’t have to mean constant hustle, six-figure launches, or endless scaling. In this conversation, we’re diving into the idea of soft success, a refreshing shift away from rigid business milestones and toward defining success on our own terms. We reflect on the transition from hustle culture to a more sustainable, fulfilling way of working, one that prioritises joy, balance, and well-being over burnout and unrealistic expectations. January has been full-on, with a flood of client inquiries and exciting opportunities, but even in the busiest seasons, we’re recognising the importance of boundaries, rest, and staying aligned with what truly matters. This episode is all about letting go of outdated success metrics and embracing a way of working that feels good, not just looks good on paper.…

Send us a text Divorce. It’s raw, real, and often a total rollercoaster. In this episode of Beyond the Digital Darling , we dive into the highs and lows of breaking free from a life that no longer felt right. We explore everything—from the heartbreak and emotional chaos to that liberating sense of relief and freedom. Yes, starting over can feel empowering, but it’s not without its challenges. There are eye-watering legal fees, the stress of rebuilding your footing, and the sheer logistics of creating a new normal. But here’s the silver lining: growth. Divorce can be painful, but it’s also an opportunity for profound personal transformation. We reflect on how stepping away from control, anxiety, or unhealthy dynamics can create the space for a stronger, more independent version of yourself to emerge. A special thank you to our episode sponsor, Lindsey Hall. Lindsey is a divorce and life coach dedicated to helping women navigate life’s transitions with confidence and clarity. If you’re looking for guidance through your own journey, check out her incredible resources and coaching support at lindseyhallcoaches.com . Whether you’re in the thick of it, just coming out the other side, or supporting someone you care about, this conversation is packed with relatable moments and a whole lot of heart. About Lindsey Hall: After spending 12 years in the world of corporate accounting where listening to your intuition and prioritising your pleasure is not exactly encouraged, I am passionate about helping women bring more pleasure to their daily lives and peeling back the layers of shame and social conditioning that prevent us from living our fully empowered lives. I hate small talk and elephants in the room and much prefer to dive in deep talking about the things that are maybe-scary but ultimately so important and healing to talk about! I don't believe that everything happens for a reason, but I do believe that nothing needs to go to waste - we get to take everything that happens in our lives and turn it into the fuel for something even greater. Because it ALWAYS gets to keep getting better! Everything I do rests on the foundations of self love, self trust, embodying pleasure as a tool for healing, and approaching life with a curious, open mind. What does that look like in real life? Finding the opportunities to check in with yourself and ask what YOU want on a regular basis, and listening for your own answers. Connecting with your body (touch, movement, dancing) Filling your life with pleasure wherever you can (What activities light you up? What beautiful things can you fill your rooms with? What do you like to eat? What fabrics feel good on your body?) And so much more! So if you're ready to speed up your growth and expansion by slowing down and connecting deeper with yourself - ALL parts of yourself - then you're in the right place. https://www.lindseyhallcoaches.com/ @lindseyhallcoaches…

Billionaires: Snog, Marry Or Avoid? 28:45

Send us a text Would you sleep with a billionaire just for their money? That’s the moral maze we’re diving into today. Think Indecent Proposal meets real life, with a side of Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bernard Arnault thrown in for good measure. We unpacked it all – societal stereotypes about women and money, the pull of generational wealth, and the not-so-shiny ethics of some billionaires. Does their moral compass matter as much as their bank balance? Could you look past the scandals, the politics, or, let’s be honest, the tweets? In the end, we agreed that values and integrity would probably win out over yachts and mansions. Probably. So, what’s your take? Hard no, or “where do I sign the NDA?” Let’s talk.…

Our conversation explored the incredible benefits retreats offer creating spaces where personal and professional growth can flourish, fostering genuine connections, and setting the stage for meaningful, open conversations.

It’s all about making everyone feel valued and supported while setting the stage for transformation. The energy, the connections, the mindset shifts - retreats pack so much potential for lasting change.

Send us a text At Beyond The Digital, we recently opened up a candid and heartfelt conversation about the multifaceted challenges of divorce. Reflecting on personal experiences, we delved into the emotional toll and practical hurdles of navigating a difficult, unacknowledged divorce. From the strain of dealing with a lack of recognition from the other party to the heavy financial burden that often accompanies the legal process, we unpacked the complexities that many face but rarely discuss openly. A significant part of our discussion centred around the vital role of support systems during this time. We shared a deep appreciation for the invaluable guidance of Lindsey Hall, a UK-based divorce coach whose expertise helps individuals find clarity and strength through such life-altering transitions. There is no shame in ending a marriage that no longer brings fulfilment. Gratitude for our support networks, and the resilience to move forward, remains a cornerstone of our story. Divorce is complex, but with the right guidance and compassion, it can be a pathway to renewed strength and self-discovery. About Lindsey Hall: After spending 12 years in the world of corporate accounting where listening to your intuition and prioritising your pleasure is not exactly encouraged, I am passionate about helping women bring more pleasure to their daily lives and peeling back the layers of shame and social conditioning that prevent us from living our fully empowered lives.
