Fearless Forward
Fearless Forward
Podcast Description
At some point in our lives we all get scared – of making the wrong decision, of not being a good parent, or that everyone will figure out we’re just making it up as we go.
I’ve spent years helping leaders work through fear, stress, and uncertainty. Now I’m making a podcast about how they face their fears and come out stronger.
It’s for founders, leaders, and business owners who feel like they’re constantly fighting uphill and not finding the balance they need to be effective at work and present at home.

Many people working in sustainability feel disillusioned and burned out. The problem is that businesses often prioritise profit over real, impactful change. Sustainability is seen as secondary, and those driving it are left feeling unsupported and powerless. This lack of meaningful action leaves even the most dedicated individuals questioning their efforts.
Kathryn Sheridan suggests slowing down, reconnecting with our values, and acting from a place of stability. By making small, steady changes, we can avoid burnout and create lasting impact. It’s about finding balance, caring for ourselves, and learning to pace our efforts for the long haul.
If we continue at breakneck speed, we risk losing the energy and clarity we need to make real progress. Burnout can leave us unable to act, and the noise of the world can overwhelm us. Without intentional change, we might stay stuck in cycles of stress and frustration, unable to move forward.
