Becoming Eminent in Your Own Life | Podcast

A podcast about how prioritising yourself can transform your career, relationships, and sense of self.

What if the most important project you could ever work on… was you?

In the debut episode of The Eminence Project, I share the deeply personal journey that led me to this question the role I was playing in my own life.

It began with a conversation about professional eminence—about doing work that helps you stand out in your field. But what struck me most wasn’t the idea of being prominent in the eyes of others. It was the question: Am I prominent in my own life?

That question catalysed a journey that is changing everything.

Am I prominent in my own life?

From People-Pleasing to Personal Power

For years, I prided myself on being the person who never said no. I believed that sacrificing my own needs made me valuable and lovable. But when someone told me they couldn’t ask me for help because they knew I’d never say no, it hit me like a lightning bolt - if I wouldn't be allowed to help him, how could I ever earn my value and love. I realised I’d been living in service of everyone else - at the cost of myself - believing I had no value if I wasn't helping someone.

This episode is a raw, stream-of-consciousness reflection on what it means to reclaim your own needs, to get conscious about your habits, and to start showing up as the truest version of yourself. It’s about the discomfort of change, the courage it takes to prioritise yourself, and the joy that comes from reconnecting with who you really are.

It's about shifting my core belief from "sacrificing my own needs makes me valuable and lovable to others" to "in valuing myself and in upholding my own needs, I am so much more capable of showing up as someone who has the capacity to be generous and to be of service to others".

What You’ll Hear in the Episode

• Why I started The Eminence Project and what “being eminent” means to me

• The painful but powerful moment that made me question my core beliefs

• How unconscious habits like people-pleasing and self-sacrifice can erode your sense of self

• The role of curiosity, courage, and self-compassion in personal transformation

• Why putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s the foundation for truly serving others

Why This Matters

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living in the background of your own life, this episode is for you. If you’ve ever struggled to answer the question “What do I need?” or found yourself constantly prioritising others at your own expense, I invite you to listen.

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a journey—one that I hope will inspire you to ask yourself:

Who am I right now? How am I showing up? And is this the version of myself I want to take into the future?
