Brutally honest advice about leading under pressure in 57 minutes with Phil Pallen

Welcome to another episode of Staying Wild!

In less than 10 months, I helped an executive leader go from full burnout, on the verge of quitting or going on sick leave, to absolutely thriving.

We didn’t get there with a 5AM morning routine, meditation marathons, hustling harder, a reset holiday, hiring more staff, or Netflix escapes.

Instead, we used a leadership development framework that works in the real world:

  • Why longer hours, more meetings, and tighter control secretly destroy performance

  • Why you don’t actually work best under constant stress and pressure

  • And how to escape burnout while performing at your best by doing less

  • At the end, I’ll also share six powerful strategies to help you become the successful, fulfilled leader you want to be—without burning out.

And in the second half of this episode, I’m joined by Phil Pallen, brand and AI strategist, who reveals how he built a high-performing remote team long before it was trendy.

Leadership Under Pressure: The Mountain Metaphor

Picture this: you’re leading your team halfway up Norway’s Besseggen ridge.

The climb is steep, wild, exposed. And suddenly, a storm crashes in—fog rolls over, rain soaks through your clothes, wind drowns out your voice.

Every eye turns to you, the leader.

That’s what leadership in chaos feels like. Not the tidy case studies in Harvard Business Review. Not a LinkedIn influencer’s five-step hack.

The raw, unpredictable reality of:

  • Sudden layoffs

  • Investors stalling on funds

  • A toxic boss or team dynamic

  • Deadlines crumbling under pressure

  • A board demanding KPIs disconnected from reality

The “mountain” isn’t theoretical. It’s right here, right now. And you’re expected to keep climbing.

Case Study: From Chaos to Clarity

One of my clients, let’s call her Anna, described her work life in one word: chaos.

  • A toxic leadership culture

  • Boundaries blurred until work swallowed her life

  • Sleep collapsed, perfectionism spiked, delegation vanished

  • She was on call 24/7, even in the bath

  • Her team spiraled into mistrust, missed deadlines, and exhaustion

She felt like she was being asked to summit Everest with broken gear.

This is the first truth of leadership development under pressure:

Your team won’t look to you for productivity metrics when things fall apart. They’ll look to you for steadiness and safety.

Why High Pressure Lowers Performance

Psychologist Sian Beilock shows that even top performers “choke” under extreme stress. Pressure eats away at your working memory, making you more likely to make errors, freeze, or underperform.

The Yerkes–Dodson law confirms it:

  • Too little stress = boredom.

  • Too much stress = burnout and collapse.

  • The sweet spot = optimal performance.

High achievers often insist, “I work best under pressure.” But in reality, they work best when they’re focused, rested, and anchored in resilience.

This is where team development and leadership coaching play a crucial role. It’s not about gritting your teeth through chaos—it’s about managing your response to stress and setting the right pace for your team.

The Switchbacks Strategy

Anna was climbing the “mountain” straight up:

  • 10-hour days, emails at 1AM

  • Cancelling holidays for meetings

  • Constant firefighting and perfectionism

We introduced switchbacks instead: steady zigzags that keep you moving without burning out.

Leadership translation:

  • Chunk the chaos → Focus on one problem at a time

  • Celebrate micro-wins → Small victories fuel motivation (Amabile’s research)

  • Set healthy boundaries → Example: no emails after 8PM

  • Anchor your power → Respond consciously, not reactively

  • Create a summit vision → Lead with identity, not just strategy

  • Soothe your nervous system → Step out of survival mode and into clarity

This approach transformed her. Within months, Anna was calm, sleeping well, enjoying family time, and leading her team through a toxic restructure with clarity and strength.

The Resilience Rope

Performance psychologist Dr. Jim Loehr reminds us:

Growth doesn’t come from constant strain—it comes from adaptive stress + recovery.

Elite athletes don’t outperform because they train harder. They win because they recover smarter.

Anna’s “resilience rope” included:

  • Guided visualisations

  • Breathing resets before meetings

  • Nature time and cabin weekends

  • Daily reading and weekly karate

  • Strict work-free weekends

Recovery wasn’t a luxury. It became the foundation of her performance.

The Northern Lights Moment

When I asked Anna, months later, if she could have imagined her transformation, her answer was: “No way!”

She had gone from nearly quitting to:

  • Leading with confidence

  • Sleeping deeply

  • Enjoying family and hobbies again

  • Guiding her company through a restructure

This is what I call the Northern Lights moment: when leadership stops being about hustling harder, and starts being about becoming the calm, clear presence your team can anchor to in the storm.

Key Leadership Development Lessons

  • Chaos is real. Crises, toxic dynamics, and broken systems are part of leadership.

  • Your steadiness matters most. Teams need calm, not frantic productivity.

  • Find your sweet spot. Optimal performance comes from balance, not overload.

  • Use switchbacks. Chunk chaos, celebrate wins, and set strong boundaries.

  • Recovery is performance. Rest fuels resilience and long-term success.

  • Be the Northern Lights. Lead with clarity and presence, not hustle and grind.

Guest Spotlight — Leadership + Remote Team Building Lessons With Phil Pallen

In this episode, I’m joined by Brand and AI Strategist, Phil Pallen, owner of the agency Phil Pallen Collective. He’s guided 400+ clients (including me) to position, build, and promote their brands effectively for business results

I’ve worked with Phil for years, and we had a blast when he and his partner Javi visited me in Norway a few years ago!

But today, we’re skipping branding and AI. 

While many businesses are still figuring out how to manage distributed teams, Phil has been building high-performing remote teams for over 15 years!

Building High-Performing Remote Teams: Leadership Lessons from Phil Pallen

Phil’s approach to leadership development, team development, and team building has not only helped him retain top talent for a decade or more but also created a culture of loyalty, autonomy, and consistent results.

Leadership Development in a Remote World

Phil believes that great leadership isn’t about control—it’s about trust. Many executive leaders fall into the trap of micromanagement, but Phil proves that freedom fuels excellence. His philosophy aligns perfectly with modern leadership development strategies: equip your people, trust them to deliver, and measure results—not hours.

Team Development That Sticks

One of Phil’s most powerful insights is that team development is a process, not a one-off project. He recommends starting small—testing contractors or employees with specific projects before expanding responsibility. Over time, this creates a culture of growth and commitment, where people are trusted to evolve and expand their impact.

Key strategies Phil shared for effective team development:

  • Clear communication from day one.

  • Consistent, motivating feedback that empowers rather than discourages.

  • Giving ownership of processes and documentation to the team itself.

The Art of Team Building for Performance and Retention

Phil’s leadership style is a masterclass in team building. By rewarding loyalty, recognising initiative, and creating space for autonomy, he’s built a team that thrives under pressure while staying highly engaged.

His advice for leaders looking to strengthen team building in their organisations:

  • Focus on value delivered, not time logged.

  • Celebrate wins both big and small.

  • Make team members feel seen, trusted, and appreciated.

Why This Matters for Executive Leaders

If you’re an executive leader navigating the pressures of remote or hybrid teams, this conversation is packed with takeaways for your own leadership development journey. The ability to build resilient, motivated, and high-performing teams is no longer optional—it’s the core of sustainable success.

Phil’s biggest reminder?

“Communicate from day one. Don’t let things fester. Lead in the way you’d want to be led.”

This episode is a must-listen if you want to elevate your leadership development skills, strengthen team development, and master team building in a remote-first world.

From Summit to Boardroom: Leadership Runs on Habits

Research shows that over 40% of our daily actions are habits. For leaders, those unconscious choices can mean the difference between clarity or chaos, resilience or burnout.

  • When your habits model calm and focus, your team mirrors it.

  • When you default to reactivity and stress, your team absorbs that energy too.

Why Daily Actions Matter More Than One-Off Wins

True leadership is measured in consistency. A single presentation can inspire, but daily habits create culture.

The Ripple Effect of Leadership Habits on Teams

Leaders set the emotional thermostat. Habits around decision-making, communication, and energy directly influence KPIs, productivity, and team morale.

The Neuroscience of Leadership Habits

Our brains love efficiency. Through neuroplasticity, they stick to familiar pathways — whether helpful or harmful.

Stress vs. Resilience in Daily Choices

Left unchecked, leaders’ stress patterns reinforce anxiety, poor sleep, and reactive decision-making. But intentional habits — like clarity rituals, recovery breaks, or evidence-based reflection — rewire the brain toward calm, confidence, and smarter decisions.

Case Study — From Burnout to Breakthrough

One of my clients, Steven, was a senior leader on the brink of burnout. Within six weeks of installing new leadership habits, he:

  • Reduced stress and regained clarity

  • Made sharper, faster decisions

  • Reclaimed 1–2 hours per day for deep work and family

  • Amplified his leadership presence and impact

His transformation wasn’t about working harder — it was about rewiring habits.

Guest Spotlight — Resilience Lessons From the Mountains

In this episode, I’m joined by Finn Hovem, founder of Hello Lyngen, a guiding company in Norway’s Lyngen Alps. His journey is a masterclass in resilient leadership.

Boundaries and Energy

After facing personal health challenges, Finn chose to work less but achieve more by aligning his work with his values.

Strategy and Reflection

For Finn, leading in the mountains mirrors leading in business: you need preparation, a clear plan, and the ability to adjust under pressure.

Courage and Joy

Perhaps the most powerful lesson? Leadership doesn’t have to drain you. When fueled by passion and presence, it becomes sustainable — even joyful.

Practical Leadership & Team Development Takeaways

Here are five ways to embed resilience into your team culture:

  1. Start with micro-habits — a 5-minute clarity reset can transform your day.

  2. Model recovery — show your team that rest fuels performance.

  3. Spotlight small wins — progress creates motivation and resilience.

  4. Build reflection rituals — weekly reviews prevent overwhelm and sharpen focus.

  5. Lead with presence — your calm confidence sets the tone for the entire team.

Unlocking Your Leadership Potential

Whether you’re climbing a literal peak or leading your team through high-stakes challenges, your habits are your rope and harness.

Great leaders don’t just protect KPIs — they protect their people. They build resilience, clarity, and energy into the culture of their teams.

Embrace the Wild Confidence

In every episode of Staying Wild, we go beyond the ordinary, stepping into the wild edges of performance, mindset, and life itself.

This week, we’re pulling apart the mystery of confidence… not the Instagram-filtered version, but the real deal.

Why do world-class athletes and powerhouse leaders still battle self-doubt? And more importantly, how do we break free?

To answer that, I made a masterclass: How to Rewire Your Brain for Ultimate Confidence, The Wild Method Way.

This is Episode 3 of “Making Masterclasses for Companies I Love Until They Hire Me”

And this one’s for CARV, the ski tech wearable sensor that provides personalised tips, so you can take on harder terrain, carve cleaner turns, and look cool doing it.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Harness your brain’s neuroplasticity to rewire for confidence

  • Break free from the “I’m not good enough” feedback loop

  • Understand why even elite athletes and leaders sometimes struggle with confidence

  • Overcome self-doubt by shifting thoughts, feelings, and beliefs

  • Build a high-confidence loop so “I am good enough” becomes your brain’s default

Then we dive into an inspiring and unfiltered conversation with badass Norwegian freeride skier Lisen Strøm. We talk confidence, overcoming fear, skiing, and creating a life you love by following your heart.

Why Confidence Slips… Even for the Best Athletes, Individuals + Teams

Bandura, the godfather of self-efficacy, showed us that confidence grows as we gather mastery experiences.

So why do world-class performers choke under pressure?

One of my pro triathletes, one of Norway’s best, was breaking records and winning races. Yet he genuinely believed he was a slow swimmer. His brain was so loyal to that belief, it hid all the evidence to the contrary.

Result?

He swam slower than he was capable of.

Here’s the kicker: your brain isn’t malicious. It’s obedient. It follows the orders you give it, wiring itself around your strongest beliefs.

Tell your brain “I’m not good at this”?

It will dutifully hide the wins, highlight the failures, and hardwire self-doubt.

That’s the Low Confidence Feedback Loop at work.

The Low Confidence Feedback Loop

It starts with a thought: “I’m not good enough.”

That creates a feeling: shame, fear, embarrassment.

Which leads to actions: holding back, not asking questions, focusing on failures.

Your brain then edits your reality to serve up more “proof” of inadequacy:

  • One fall on the slopes = I’m a terrible skier.

  • Three out of six employees skip congratulating you = the meeting was a disaster.

Each spin of the loop reinforces the belief. Your brain literally rewires itself around doubt.

Round and round we go.

Swap the Glasses

Here’s the brain hack: swap the self-doubt glasses for confidence lenses.

When you shift your thoughts → your feelings change → your actions follow → your brain highlights success → the belief strengthens → the brain wires itself.

That’s the High (+ Wild) Confidence Feedback Loop.

And the best part? This rewiring doesn’t take years. It can start in minutes.

Proof That Confidence Can Be Built Fast

Confidence isn’t just “earned over time.” Thanks to neuroplasticity, the brain can rewire instantly.

  • Think of how love can flip to heartbreak in a single moment.

  • In my workshops, I have people recite their phone number backwards… within minutes, they feel their brain adapting in real time.

Confidence works the same way. Forget endless squats and deadlifts — train your brain like a muscle.

3 Wild Method Tools to Rewire Confidence

  1. Wild Confidence Scripting
    Recall a time you felt unstoppable. Write down how you looked, sounded, felt, walked, and acted. Anchor it daily in your habits, posture, words, and choices.

  2. Demands vs. Resources Exercise (Gucciardi et al.)
    Write down:

    • Demands of the situation.

    • Resources you already have (skills, training, support).

    • Evidence you’ve succeeded before.

    • Immediate actions.
      → This flips “I can’t” into “I’ve got this.”

  3. Pre-Performance Boosters
    Research (Cohn et al., 1990; Moran, 1996; Marlow et al., 1998) shows that simple reminders and scripts before performing increase confidence and reduce choking under pressure.

Final Thoughts

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with. It’s trained. Fast. Through:

  • Switching self-doubt into confidence loops

  • Anchoring into past evidence of strength

  • Training your brain like a muscle

  • Asking the “stupid” questions anyway

So, let me leave you with this:

👉 If you showed up in every part of your life with Wild Confidence, how would it transform your sport, your work, your relationships, your future?

Mastering the Mountain with Lisen Strøm

For Lisen Strøm, skiing isn’t just a hobby, it’s woven into who she is. She’s purposefully created a life where her passion for the mountains sets the rhythm. She’s guided by her courage, clear boundaries, and a refusal to let convention dictate her path.

Here’s what you’ll discover from her journey:

  • Breaking the challenging into bite-sized, doable steps.

  • (this is important) Being unafraid to admit doubt out loud.

  • Prioritise what lights you up (and ignore any judgements)

  • Putting yourself first is the fuel that makes everything else burn brighter… work, relationships, impact.

  • Learn to love each season of growth the same way we love each season of snow.

Answer the Call of the Wild

Whether you’re a leader doubting your seat at the table,

Or a skier hesitating at the top of a new line…

Lisen’s wisdom is universal: pursue what scares you, ask questions, step into the wild.

Because confidence isn’t the absence of fear. It’s choosing to ski down the mountain anyway.

Welcome to a masterclass in high-performance teams, bold creativity, and next-level innovation!

This episode of Staying Wild dives into my free Wild Laboratory Workshop and an inspiring conversation with tech visionary Yngvar Ugland.

Here’s the lowdown on how to bring serious strategy, creativity, and moonshot thinking to your team.

The Wild Laboratory Workshop: One Workshop to Innovatively Solve Your Team’s Challenge

Welcome to Episode 2 of my Staying Wild series “Making Masterclasses for Companies I Love Until They Hire Me”.

I originally dreamed up this episode for Open Innovation Lab of Norway. But when one of my 1:1 clients (a powerhouse exec steering a major restructure at a Norwegian startup) asked last week for strategies to energise her new team, unify them, and tackle a specific challenge.

With one concern being that the team was on the introverted side and can get a bit awkward with team-building activities…

I thought:

Perfect.

One workshop, two wins.

And an extra win for you too!

The Wild Laboratory is my nine-step framework for turning chaotic, stuck, or awkward team discussions into innovative breakthroughs and crystal-clear action plans.

It blends:

  • Special Forces–level decision-making and mission execution

  • Walt Disney’s genius approach to limitless creativity

  • Performance psychology & neuroscience hacks

I’ve designed this episode so you can:

  • Learn how to run this workshop solo

  • Or better yet, hit play with your team, pause at the end of each step as you go, and come out the other side with a more connected crew and a clear action plan.

  • Want me to facilitate it for your team? There’s literally never been a better time to work with me. Email me adelaide@adelaidegoodeve.com or give me a ring +47 934 49 766 and I’ll give you a ridiculously good offer.

Why The Wild Labratory Works (according to science and special forces):

  • Autonomy drives performance: Teams with control over decisions are more motivated, engaged, and productive.

  • Every voice matters: Inspired by the Special Forces “Chinese Parliament” method, loud, quiet, or wild, every voice and idea counts.

  • Fun fuels results: Energy + engagement = breakthrough thinking.

The Nine Steps to Innovation

  1. State the Mission: Define why it matters.

  2. Team Owns the Mission: Let the team rephrase it in their words—full buy-in.

  3. SWOT Analysis: Map strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats.

  4. Mind Safari: No judgment, every idea is gold.

  5. The Good, the Bad & the Ugly: Critique without killing creativity.

  6. Craft the Course of Action: Turn top ideas into real plans.

  7. Decision Time: Align as a team on the best path forward.

  8. Mind the Gap: Spot obstacles and plan mitigations.

  9. Lock & Load: Lock in with a team chant, high-five, or happy dance. Let’s get cracking!

Pro tips: Suspend judgment. Flatten hierarchy. Make it fun. Your team will actually want to do this. And the results will be breakthrough (and office brag worthy ofc).

Part 1 of Staying Wild: How to Think Like a Pro Athlete

This week on Staying Wild, I’m kicking off a brand-new series — part of my slightly wild Renew My Norwegian Visa campaign. If you missed the backstory, listen to last week’s episode for the full scoop here 😉

Inspired by creator Kate Weinberg’s “designing for brands I love until they notice me” series, I thought — why wait? So, welcome to:

Making Masterclasses for Companies I Love Until They Hire Me.

These episodes are bite-sized versions of the 90-minute corporate workshops I teach — less than 20 minutes, one powerful concept, zero fluff.

And we’re starting strong with one of my dream clients speak for: Arc’teryx Academy. They host world-class mountain education events for adventure athletes, helping you sharpen your skills and level up your performance.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The brain process that keeps most athletes stuck, and how to change it.

  • The language shift that can completely transform your performance.

  • How to train your brain like a pro athlete so you can go all in and enjoy every second of your sport or adventure.

Spoiler: It’s not about training harder. It’s about upgrading the way you talk to yourself, on the mountain, on the trail, or wherever your sport takes you.

If you’ve ever caught yourself spiraling with thoughts like:

  • “I’m not ready.”

  • “What if I mess this up?”

  • “I can’t handle this.”

  • “I can’t do this”

  • “I’m going to fail”

…then this episode is your wake-up call.

And if you love it, share it with a friend or tag @ArcteryxAcademy or @Arcteryx on socials — because who knows, we might just take this workshop from podcast to live event together.

Part 2: The Wild Alchemy of Healing with Natalia Komis

This week on Staying Wild, I sat down with the incomparable Natalia Komis. A multi-dimensional healer, business mentor, and living testament to what’s possible when you surrender to your body’s wisdom and the wild rhythms of nature.

What started as a conversation about healing turned into a deep dive into intuition, resilience, healing and the art of living a fully expressed, fulfilling life.

From Burnout to Breakthrough

Natalia’s story is one of fierce self-discovery. She opens up about her journey through chronic fatigue.

Instead of settling for surface-level fixes the Doctors offered her, she turned inward. Learning to listen to her body, her emotions, and the quiet whispers of her intuition.

Through that journey, she discovered that the signals we often dismiss (exhaustion, stress, disconnection) aren’t burdens. They’re invitations. Clues pointing us toward the changes we need to make to return to vitality and joy.

Reconnecting with Nature

A huge turning point in Natalia’s recovery? Reconnecting with nature.

Natalia shares how she deepened her relationship with the natural world, embracing what she calls elemental healing — connecting with the physical, energetic, and etheric layers of our existence.

By shifting from a passive observer to an active participant in nature, she found a source of profound clarity and healing. This reconnection became a grounding force, not just for her body, but for her business and soul too.

The Power of Curiosity and Joy

If there’s one theme that runs through Natalia’s story, it’s this: follow your curiosity.

She reminds us that healing and life, aren’t about rigid rules or waiting for the “perfect plan.” They’re about choosing joy, trusting your body’s wisdom, and daring to explore the paths that light you up.

As Natalia beautifully puts it, when you lead with curiosity and courage, you don’t just heal , you expand into a wilder, more authentic version of yourself.

Stay sharp. Stay bold. Stay wild.
And remember, your body, your intuition, and the wild world around you are always speaking. The magic happens when you start listening

SW 9 | Finding Your Voice: Janet Murray's Journey Through Controversy

/

In a world where the loudest voices often drown out the wisest, conversations that cut through the noise are vital.

My latest Staying Wild episode with **Janet Murray, Strategic Marketing Consultant and outspoken advocate for free speech and women’s rights**delivers exactly that.

It’s a bold exploration of courage, integrity, and the messy, magnificent journey of standing firm in your truth.

A Wild Woman’s Stand

Janet opened up about her own storm of public criticism and professional upheaval. What emerged wasn’t a tale of defeat, but one of grit, grace, and the audacity to keep speaking when silence and a public apology would have been easier.

This is the heart of the wild woman energy we celebrate on this podcast: strength entwined with empathy, honesty with compassion, and an unshakable refusal to shrink in the face of discomfort.

When Speaking Up Changes Everything

Janet’s story pivoted on a single moment, a video where she disagreed with the phrase “pregnant people.” The backlash was swift. The consequences, life-altering.

But so were the connections. Her stance resonated with thousands who had been silently grappling with the same questions. Janet’s journey reminds us that challenging norms isn’t about chasing approval; it’s about choosing alignment over appeasement, truth over tolerance.

Redefining the “Good Girl”

Too often, women are conditioned to stay nice. To prioritise likability, compliance, and keeping the peace. Janet’s story is a rallying cry against that outdated script.

To be a “wild woman” is to write your own narrative, to claim your space unapologetically, and to lead with both strength and kindness. Because as Janet powerfully shows us, compassion doesn’t mean compromise, it means choosing courage without abandoning humanity.

The Ripple Effect

What if every woman who felt the sting of judgment chose to speak anyway? Janet’s experience proves how one voice can ripple outward, inspiring others to question, reflect, and act with integrity.

Her story is more than personal, it’s a reminder that bravery, even in its smallest acts, can create monumental change.

Janet Murray continues to share her insights and advocacy on social media, inviting women everywhere to connect, reflect, and rise together.

And as for us, let’s take her story as fuel. To stand tall in our truth. To lead with love. To refuse to apologise for our power.

Because staying wild isn’t about rebellion for its own sake. It’s about living aligned, awake, and unapologetically alive.

🔥 Keep rising. Keep leading. Stay wild, Adelaide x

SW 8 | Stress Reset Meditation + Going All In On Your Dream Life with Henry from Mountain Memorie

/

What happens when a Canadian-Bali-raised snowboarder falls in love with Japan’s mountains, buys a farm on a whim, and builds a soulful ski lodge from scratch?

You get Mountain Memories—a dream turned reality by Henry and his best friend Noah.

This episode has two wildly different, but deeply grounding, parts.

We begin with a short, guided visualization to help you tune into yourself. To tune into your power. To drop out of chaos and back into calm, presence, and grounded strength. It’s perfect if you're feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or caught in a cycle of overthinking.

And then?

We dive into one of the most inspiring stories of risk, creativity, and community I've ever heard. From building a snow lodge on a Japanese farm to creating a retreat that’s helping others dream bigger too.

Whether you’re a solo traveller craving connection, a skier curious about Japan’s legendary powder, or a creative entrepreneur wondering what it really means to stay wild, or wondering if your dream is possible, this episode will light you up.

Adelaide x

Part 1: The Guided Visualization

Before we chat with Henry, we begin with a simple but powerful mindset practice, something I record often with my VIP 1:1 clients and those inside Rise of the Wild Woman or my other online programs.

This one is for you if:

  • You’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in stress-mode

  • You’re second-guessing yourself or struggling with boundaries

  • You’ve forgotten what your power actually feels like

  • You “can’t meditate” or struggle to sit still, this is a beautiful, embodied alternative

I guide you to:

  • Drop out of your head and into your body

  • Melt away chaotic energy

  • Reconnect with your calm, confident, fierce self—in a soft and flowing way

And here’s the magic: even if you think you “can’t visualize,” just listen. Let your body respond. Let what’s not serving you fall away. You don’t have to do it perfectly. Just let yourself be. You can lie down, sit on a sofa, be outside, whatever makes you feel comfortable.

Then, grounded and tuned in, we flow into Part 2…

Part 2: Conversation with Henry from Mountain Memories

What We Cover:

  • How Henry’s childhood in Bali sparked a love for creation and risk-taking

  • The serendipitous moment he first touched snow in Japan, and how it changed everything

  • From chalet boys to business owners: the unexpected evolution of Mountain Memories

  • Buying a farm with no money: the full story behind their crowdfunded leap

  • Creating space for others to dream big through their Inspire internship program

  • The chaotic magic of running your first snow season (and why you shouldn’t look at projections)

  • Building a values-led business from day one

  • Solo travel, ski culture, and why Japan's powder scene is unlike anywhere else on Earth

  • Powder lessons, retreat-style trips, and what’s coming next at Mountain Memories

  • Henry’s advice for anyone too scared to follow their wild, true self

Quotes to Remember:

“There was never a question of if we could do it. It was just—how do we make it happen?”

“We didn’t do any accounting. We just made decisions based on what felt right.”

“I’m not the best problem-solver. But I’m great at finding people who are, and getting them excited to help.”

“Fairness, freedom, creativity, community—those aren’t buzzwords to us. They’re how we make decisions.”

Connect with Henry & Mountain Memories:

Come Stay Wild:

If this episode lit a fire in your heart, share it with someone who needs a reminder that dreams aren’t always logical, but they are possible. And if you're ready to chase powder, community, or creative freedom, go check out Mountain Memories before the season books out. Hopefully I’ll see you there!

North of Ordinary | Week 4 | What does it mean to follow your intuition? Your Wild?

/

Welcome back, wild ones. It’s been a minute. Turns out, podcasting on the road is a lot harder than I thought… especially when you're road-tripping across Norway, chasing the midnight sun, and trying to balance rest, work, and wonder!

This summer was meant to be a blend of vacation and creative productivity. In reality? It’s been an emotional, physical, and spiritual adventure… and also a bit exhausting. But oh, the insights, adventures and realisations I’ve gathered.

Let’s dive in!

Adelaide x

🌞 Midnight Sun, Full Days, and Unexpected Fatigue

The Norwegian summer stretches time in the most magical way. With the sun barely setting, I found myself cramming every glorious minute with hikes, swims, conversations, and spontaneous detours. No two days have looked the same, and that’s thrilling and tiring in equal measure!

I’ve never road-tripped like this before. Constantly moving, constantly choosing. Unlike a multi-day trek with clear daily objectives, this journey was guided by a different compass: my wild. My gut. My intuition. .

💫 A New Level of Energy. A New Version of Me.

Somewhere between the fjords and the friendships, I realised I’m not just recovered, I’m transformed.

Yes, I healed from severe chronic fatigue in 3 days many years ago. Yes, I recently healed from PMDD (severe depression, pain, fatigue etc.). Yes, I’ve done Ironmans. Yes, I’ve travelled the world. But I’ve never felt this level of lightness, clarity, energy and capacity. It’s as if my soul has caught up with my body.

This trip cracked something open in me. I’ve met incredible people, reconnected with old friends (some I haven’t seen in a decade), and had conversations that have rearranged my inner world.

🇳🇴 And Yet... The Visa Situation

Let’s talk about the not-so-glamorous bit: my Norwegian visa.

My current visa expires in February, and the renewal process isn’t looking as straightforward as I’d hoped. Initially, I was told it would be simple. But, plot twist, it’s more complicated now.

So I’m launching Mission: Renew My Norwegian Visa—a professional storytelling campaign documenting the next few months as I secure partnerships, serve clients, and prove that Norway isn’t just where I live, it’s where I thrive.

This is about determination. About sharing the reality of building a life you love, and fighting to keep it.

🧭 Following My Wild: What Does That Actually Mean?

It’s a phrase I use often, but let’s define it:

Following your wild is listening to that deep pull or ache inside you, even when it doesn’t make logical sense. It’s the fire in your womb (or belly). The yes in your bones. The knowing that lives beyond reason.

Sometimes it shows up as expansion in the body, a lightness. Sometimes it’s a full-body no that feels like contraction or skin-crawling discomfort. And if you’re not used to tuning in? That’s okay. You can learn to listen. It starts with slowing down. Getting quiet. Tuning in. Noticing.

This summer, I’ve followed my wild more than ever before. And it's birthed a version of me I didn’t know I was ready for.

🧠 What If Intuition Leads You Somewhere You Didn’t Want to Go?

It happens. I’ve been asked:

“What if I follow my wild, and everything falls apart?”

And my answer is: maybe it was part of the lesson.
Maybe you weren’t listening clearly. Or maybe the detour was the doorway.

Following your wild isn’t a promise of ease. It’s a promise of alignment.

So What’s Next?

Honestly? I’m not entirely sure. That’s part of the beauty.

I do know I want more:
→ More connection
→ More joy
→ More community
→ More ease
→ More space to expand

And I know I want to live somewhere with a vibrant social adventure scene. The visa journey is now part of that unfolding, logistically and emotionally.

So I’m setting a bold intention, launching a public mission, and documenting the ride. I’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes videos, client wins, mindset tools, and the real, unfiltered story of what it takes to rebuild a life after chronic illness, and claim your next level.

Your Turn

I’ll leave you with two questions I’ve been asking myself (and now you):

  1. What does it mean to you to follow your wild?

  2. How are you going to follow your wild more, especially as we move into the final stretch of the year?

I’d love to hear from you. Slide into my DMs, leave a comment, or just take these questions on your next walk.

Want to Follow Your Wild? Live a Life in Alignment with Who You Truly Are?

If you’re ready to:

  • Gain clarity on who you are

  • Stop the burnout spiral

  • Align your career with your soul

  • Or lead a team to thrive under pressure

Then let’s work together.

→ Check out the 35-day Sprint Career Goal Program
→ Explore VIP 1-1 Coaching

And stay tuned next week as I reveal the full details of Mission: Renew My Norwegian Visa.

Until then — stay wild,

SW 7 | Unlocking Flow State, Fast + Following Your Joy with Splitboarder Emil Leenderts

/

Ever wish you could just switch on that “in the zone” feeling, when time disappears, everything clicks, and you’re unstoppable?

This week’s masterclass is your roadmap to unlocking flow state, fast. No monk-like stillness required ;)

Whether you’re chasing podiums, presenting in boardrooms, or craving more creativity and presence in your day… flow is a trainable state. And it’s far more accessible than we’ve been led to believe.

Inside this masterclass:

  • What flow state really is, and what it’s not

  • The classic formula (Csikszentmihalyi, Kotler & co.)

  • 9 signs you’re in flow — and 9 keys to activate it

  • Why the “skill vs. challenge” ratio is everything

  • Why most people overthink flow (and how not to)

  • The unconventional method I teach to drop in fast

  • A short guided practice to train your brain for flow

✨ Key Takeaway:
Flow isn’t magic, it’s mindset and neuroplasticity. You don’t have to hustle harder to feel better. You just need to know how to tune in.

Conversation Continues: A Joy-First Life with Pro Splitboarder Emil Leenderts

I deeply admire the way Emil lives his life. He’s one of those rare humans living with freedom, intention, passion, peak performance and fun at the core of everything he does.

Yes, there’s self-doubt (he’s human). But he always returns to his why: joy, fulfilment, and building a life that lights him up, on and off the mountain.

What’s brilliant is how he’s created a sense of safety within that freedom, which gives him even more freedom, more fun, and more time for what matters.

We talk about:
→ How he handles fear and pressure in extreme environments
→ Building freedom with safety, not despite it
→ Following your fun, without apology

I walked away inspired, and asking myself how I can follow my fun in a way that feels even more free and expansive. I hope this conversation offers you fresh insight and perspective to live your own wild life, too. Enjoy.

SW 6 | Why You’re Still Stuck In Your Career (Even Though You’re Doing Everything Right) + Convo Continued With Bex Howells

/

You’ve done everything right.

You’ve worked hard.

You’ve installed positive habits.

You’ve optimized your calendar, listened to the self-help podcasts, read the books, done the journaling, maybe even flirted with meditation.

And yet… you still feel stuck. Still feel like you’re not good enough. Still questioning if success is meant to feel like this...

If you’re a high-achieving woman who looks like she’s thriving on paper, but secretly feels burnt out, lost, or like she’s quietly failing at life—this is for you.

Part 1: The Real Reason You’re Stuck

Let’s drop a truth bomb: You cannot better-habit your way out of survival mode.

Most women come to me after doing all the "right" things. And yet they still:

  • Overthink about work in their free time

  • Feel impatient, unfulfilled, or self-critical

  • Battle imposter syndrome and perfectionism

  • Feel like quitting, pivoting, or disappearing entirely

The truth? These are not problems. These are symptoms.

You’re operating with an outdated identity — one shaped by hustle culture, good girl conditioning, and the need to prove your worth by doing more, holding it all, and never dropping the ball.

You say you want freedom, but you’ve built your self-worth around being indispensable. You long for ease, but deep down, you believe struggle is part of success. That internal conflict? That’s what’s burning you out.

Part 2: Survival Thinking vs. Wild Thinking

Let’s reframe how you think.

Survival Thinking is reactive, fear-based, and rooted in proving. It seeks control to feel safe. It plays by the rules, performs for approval, and sacrifices self for success.

Wild Thinking is self-led, intuitive, and unapologetically powerful. It disrupts norms. It chooses rest, desire, and joy as legitimate strategies for performance. It lets success and sanity exist in the same sentence.

Breakthroughs happen when you shift from Survival to Wild.

Part 3: Your Identity Runs the Show

You don’t act your way into change. You believe your way into it.

Your identity, the quiet “I am” statements running in the background, is dictating your thoughts, your choices, and your energy.

If you're stuck, it's likely because you're still operating from an identity that belongs to an older version of you.

Ask yourself:

“Who am I being right now—and who do I want to become instead?”

Part 4: The Micro Shift That Changes Everything

You don’t need years of healing. You need one bold belief shift.

A decision. A line in the sand.

Like:

  • "I don’t have to earn rest."

  • "I am allowed to lead without apology."

  • "I am a woman who thrives—not just survives."

This is identity-level work. And it's the foundation of my 35-day self-study program, Rise of the Wild Woman. In it, we upgrade your mindset from the inside out so you stop self-sabotaging and start showing up as the powerful, self-led woman you're here to be.

Final Word: You Are Not Broken Nor Crazy

If you’re stuck, exhausted, or questioning everything, here’s what I want you to know:

  • You are not broken.

  • You are not too much.

  • You do not need to try harder.

  • You’re not crazy.

You just need to start thinking like the next version of you. The bold one. The grounded one. The wild one.

She's already inside you. She's just waiting for permission to lead.

Conversation Continues with Bex Howells

Bex Howells is a Coach, Catalyst, and Disruptor. She’s on a mission to challenge the status quo and close the gender pay gap from the inside out. She’s dismantling internal and external systems to expand human potential.

In this episode, Bex shares her bold transition from public servant to activist, leading a successful nationwide campaign in Aotearoa New Zealand for paid training in female-dominated professions.

We dive into her personal reckoning with burnout, the radical permission to slow down, and how reconnecting with the body and intuition became her true power source.

SW 5 | Mental Toughness Masterclass: Steel Spine, Soft Heart

/

Embrace Your Mental Toughness and Unlock Your True Potential.

Let’s be clear: high performance isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the ones with steel in their spine and a touch of wild in their soul. This isn’t just about surviving the pressure, it’s about thriving under it, without selling your sanity, soul or health.

Consider this your invitation to step beyond the grind. This blog is your aperitif to Staying Wild’s newest masterclass: Steel Spine, Soft Heart, where power, play, and peak performance meet.

Stay Wild,
Adelaide x

Mental Toughness vs. Resilience: Know Your Weapons

Most people throw around ‘mental toughness’ and ‘resilience’ like they’re interchangeable. They’re not. One keeps you sharp in the storm; the other helps you rise after the fall.

Mental toughness is your unshakable focus. The grit to ski headlong into a whiteout, fully trusting your legs will know what your eyes can’t see.

Resilience is the art of getting back up, wiping the snow off your face, and choosing the next mountain to conquer.

You need both. But knowing when to summon each? That’s where mastery lies.

Master the Dance: Divine Masculine & Feminine Energies:

Let’s talk energy. Not the ‘good vibes only’ kind, but the intrinsic forces that drive you.

The career world worships at the altar of the divine masculine: hustle, charge, conquer. Essential, yes, but only half the equation.

The divine feminine holds the secret to endurance. It’s the rooted power, the soft strength that sustains, not by force, but by flow.

Mental toughness blooms when you master both energies: knowing when to push, when to pause, when to pierce forward, and when to ground deeper.

Your Brain is Plastic (And That’s Good News)

Neuroplasticity: a glamorous way of saying your brain can change, fast, in fact. New neural pathways aren’t reserved for the young or the blessed. They’re forged by deliberate action, upgraded self-talk, and shifting out of victim-mode.

You are not wired wrong. You’re just due for a rewiring.

Your Self-Talk is Sabotaging Your Performance (Or Powering It)

We all have an inner monologue. The question is: is yours a drill sergeant or a secret weapon?

Research backs it up: confident, instructive self-talk boosts performance, whether you’re pitching to investors or free-diving off the Amalfi coast.

Your mind listens. Speak like the leader you are becoming.

Shift from Stuck to Thriving

The difference between stuck and thriving isn’t luck, it’s the mental loop you’re running.

Remember Spencer? From career derailment and personal implosion to a life overhaul so sharp it could cut glass. The catalyst? Shifting his internal dialogue from defeatist to decisive.

You can rewrite the script any time. Start today.

The Questions You Ask Shape Your Reality

Mental toughness isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about asking better questions.

Instead of “Why is this happening to me?” try:
👉 “What can I do with this?”
👉 “Who do I get to become through this?”

Performance upgrades start with perspective upgrades.

Final Word: You Are Not Broken. You Just Need Rewiring.

Mental toughness is not a personality trait; it’s a practice. One that sharpens with intention, recalibration, and the right frameworks.

If you’re ready to redefine how you meet challenges—with poise, power, and just the right dose of rebellion—the Steel Spine, Soft Heart masterclass is waiting.

Because you? You’re built to rise.

North of Ordinary | Week 1 | A Raw Diary Of My Solo Road Trip Through Northern Norway

/

I’m writing this from the back of my car/bedroom (glamorous, I know) somewhere in Senja (northern Norway), with saltwater on my skin, and a mind as jagged as the peaks that pierce this northern sky (chat GPT got a bit poetic and I liked it).

Week 1 of my Northern Norway road trip is complete. I’m road tripping solo with my passenger Princess, Woolfie. And if I’m honest, it’s been less of a holiday and more of a rebirth, in the best way possible.

I'm being brave and posting this episode raw, unpolished, and 100% unedited. Why? Because I'm semi on holiday, and I just don't want to be in front of a screen! This is me showing up imperfectly.

So, how have I stayed wild lately?

I ditched the dreary grey of June in Sogndal and went solo to a music festival on a remote Norwegian island called Træna.

Weather? Awesome.

Mood? Also seriously awesome.

I trusted the wild pull to go, and it did not disappoint. This trip has reminded me of how alive life can feel like… if that makes sense?

Highlights:

  • Hiked the Seven Sisters (well, the two hardest peaks… while cramping, still crushed it)

  • Danced sober all festival long (because I felt like it)

  • Partied ‘til 5am, sunrise and all, for the first time in years (maybe ever) with zero health crashes (also I think this is a first too).

  • Honoured my body’s needs for rest with pure pleasure (and just a little guilt)

  • Set healthy boundaries with people who crossed the line. No people-pleasing required thank you.

  • Followed my intuition north when the plans I thought I wanted didn’t feel right anymore

Basically: I said yes to what felt expansive. That’s the wild way.

I'm living proof that you can recover your health, party like a rockstar, and still trust your body. You don't have to drink to vibe, don't have to people-please to belong, and don’t have to stick to the plan if it stops feeling good.

Stay wild. Trust yourself. That’s the vibe. Adelaide x

SW 4 | Escape Burnout + World Record Holder Squash Falconer

/

Burnout Isn’t a Weakness. It’s a Misalignment

Your Spark Isn’t Gone. It’s Buried. Let’s Bring It Back.

In Part 1 I’m serving up your Burnout Escape Protocol. The exact 4-step method I use with my private clients — women who are leading, performing and achieving at a high level, but who are tired of running on adrenaline, caffeine, self-doubt, and to-do lists that never end.

Burnout doesn’t always look like lying on the floor crying (though sometimes it does).

More often, it’s showing up as the leader, the athlete, the high-performer, hitting goals, making moves, all while secretly feeling drained, foggy, and like success is costing you more than it gives.

You’re “doing everything right” — the habits, the routines, the mindset hacks.

So why does it still feel… off? Let’s find out in today’s episode ;)

In Part 2, my guest is none other than the fabulous badass Squash Falconer! Everest summiteer, world record holder, adventurer, speaker, and full-blown force of nature.

We talk about what it really takes to live life on your own terms, the joy in the grind, and how to follow your soul to become who you’re meant to be.

This episode is for you if:

  • You're tired of feeling tired, and are wondering, is this it?

  • You know you're made for more, but can't access it through the usual hustle

  • You want clarity, power, joy and career growth without sacrificing your soul and sanity

  • You need real tools, not another self-care Sunday

  • You want real inspiration — not fluff or click bait — from someone who’s actually walked the wild path. Who’s followed their soul, faced life’s curveballs head-on, and built success unapologetically, on their terms.

We go deep into what burnout really is (hint: not just overwork), why surface-level fixes don’t cut it anymore, and how to reset with radical clarity and energy that actually sustains you.

You don’t need fixing.
You need realignment.
Let’s make your success feel as wild and good as it looks.

Stay Wild,
Adelaide x

Masterclass | The 4-Step Burnout Escape Protocol

This isn’t about slowing down your ambition. It’s about reclaiming the energy and clarity to go bigger, without burning out in the process.

Here’s a taste of what I walk you through:

🔥 Step 1: Lock in Your Power Moves
Define your 3–8 non-negotiables. The skills, habits and strategies that actually move the needle for your career growth.

🔥 Step 2: Precision Performance Analysis
Rate your current state. What’s working? What’s draining you silently behind the scenes?

🔥 Step 3: Time Allocation Check
Burnout is often not from doing too much, but doing too much of the wrong things. We check where your energy’s leaking.

🔥 Step 4: Clarity Checkpoint
What’s your next level? And what do you need to cut, shift, and commit to in order to rise into it with confidence?

This episode is a field note for the woman who:

  • Has climbed the ladder and still feels unfulfilled

  • Is quietly questioning if she’s “lost her spark”

  • Is ready to build a life and career that feels as good as it looks

  • Craves clarity, energy, and impact, without self-sacrifice

Whether you’re listening on a hot girl walk, a summer hike, or from your car between meetings, this one’s designed to light a fire in your gut and remind you who the hell you are.

Wild Episode: Lost in the Wild, Loneliness, & Meltdowns

/

This week’s Wild Episode takes us deep into the Norwegian mountains, and even deeper into the messy beauty of being human.

What starts as a dreamy coffee-fueled hike turns into a soul-cracking solo meltdown, a surprising twist of divine timing, and a hard-hitting realization about loneliness, and friendships.

Here’s what’s packed into today’s bonus episode:

🌿 What “following your wild” really means, influenced by a DNT cabin and a glacier trail that took an unexpected emotional turn.

🌿Mountain Meltdown, navigating isolation, the longing for deep connections, and the exhaustion of always adventuring alone. And a reminder: the divine is always listening.

🌿 Why accepting our feelings (even the ugly ones) is the real power move

🌿 Listener Q&A #1: “Have I lost my empathy?” – unpacking emotional detachment, nervous system fatigue, and how to lead with boundaries and heart.

🌿 Listener Q&A #2: “Why do I keep burning out, even though I’ve tried everything?” – why surface-level fixes don’t work, and what’s really keeping you stuck.

🌿Listener Q&A #3:  “What if slowing down means I fall behind?” –we unpack the real fear behind the question, and flip the script: how to ask a more powerful question that doesn't shrink you, but unlocks the breakthrough you're actually craving.

For anyone who’s ever felt alone in their wilderness, or like the universe just isn’t listening—this episode is for you.

Staying Wild Episode 3 | Becoming Unapologetically You + Ex-England Rugby Player Shaunagh Brown

/

This episode is your Good Girl Exit Plan. A strategic guide to becoming unapologetically you, reclaiming your power, and living life on your own terms.

Part 1 is a deep dive into the mindset shift required to ditch the "nice girl" conditioning, stop people-pleasing, and step into who you truly are, unapologetically.

If you've been achieving on paper but burning out behind the scenes or wanting to get off the hamster wheel, this one’s your call to burn the rulebook and build a life that actually fits. We’re not here to shrink, we’re here to take up space.

Part 2 brings in the firepower: a fierce conversation with Shaunagh Brown, ex-England rugby player, changemaker, and unapologetic force of nature. At the age of 25, Shaunagh thought, “Let’s have a go at rugby.”, and 2 years later she was representing England. Shaunagh shares how she carved her own path by backing herself, embracing fear, and following her passion.

This one’s for the wild women, the quiet rebels, and anyone ready to play a bolder game.

Let's get unapologetically wild :)

Masterclass | Good Girl Exit Plan: How to Be Unapologetically You

If you’ve ever found yourself holding your breath in a boardroom, saying yes when you wanted to say hell no, or downplaying your brilliance so you wouldn’t be “too much”… this masterclass is for you.

This week, we tackled the Good Girl Mask and how to break free of it–for good. Because it’s not just harmless politeness… it’s a performance that’s costing you your power, your peace, and your potential.

What is Good Girl Conditioning?

It’s the invisible rulebook telling women to be:

  • Polite over powerful

  • Nice over honest

  • Smiling while shrinking

It shows up in ways we’ve normalized: over-apologizing, people-pleasing, emotional suppression, avoiding visibility, seeking permission, and never saying no—even when you're at capacity.

It’s often why ambitious women end up burnt out, undervalued, and second-guessing themselves… all while appearing “successful.”

The Cost of the Mask

This conditioning hits hard across:

  1. Decision-Making: You say yes to everything, avoid delegation, and lose clarity on your real strengths.

  2. Leadership Presence: You downplay your opinions to avoid being “difficult,” and behave in a certain way to be seen as ‘nice’ to work with – not impactful, or powerful.

  3. Nervous System Patterns: If you grew up walking on eggshells, you might still be doing it at work, just in heels.

What protected you in the past is now preventing your growth. But here’s the good news: you get to choose who you become next.

The Shift: From Shrinking to Standing In Your Power

We revisited the Triangle of Transformation from Masterclass 1, mapping out how your beliefs, thoughts, and energy shape your identity, and therefore your reality (and results).

The current you might be living in fear, resistance, or hyper-responsibility.
But your unapologetic self? She’s clear. She’s calm. She’s powerful.

Start there:
✨ Who is she?
✨ How does she think, speak, lead, move?
✨ What energy does she bring into a room?
✨ How does she respond to fear, triggers, or resistance?

Even a 1% micro-shift a day creates exponential change. That’s not just theory. It’s math: 1% better daily = 3,778% improvement in a year. Wild, right?

Fear, Resistance & Rewiring

Fear will try to keep you small. But you can meet resistance with curiosity, not self-judgment. Use tools like the 5 Whys to get to the root of your fear, and have a plan in place for when it inevitably shows up.

Because the more you honour your knowing and act from your power, the more everything around you starts to shift. Your career. Your confidence. Your relationships. Your results.

Your Wild Invitation

It’s time to retire the role of “the good girl” and rise as the leader you were born to be.

Not polite. Not palatable. Not perfect. Unapologetic. Unstoppable. Unleashed.

Now tell me, who are you without the mask?

Key Episode Takeaways:

  • Why “being nice” is often a trauma response, not a leadership style or way to live your life on your terms

  • How to stop outsourcing your confidence

  • What it really takes to back yourself (even when you’re the underdog)

  • Why chasing perfection is safer than owning your power—and how to flip that

  • Shaunagh’s journey from athletics to elite sport, and the self-belief it required

  • The role of identity, fear, and tiny brave steps in building unstoppable momentum

  • Incremental growth > instant mastery

  • Fear is a compass, not a stop sign

  • You don’t need to be “ready”—you need to decide

  • Knowing your strengths is good. Owning them is game-changing

  • If you won’t back yourself, why should anyone else?

Wild (Bonus): The Raw, Real, and Slightly Unhinged One

/

Welcome to the very first Wild Episode! This is the slightly chaotic, completely unfiltered corner of the Staying Wild Podcast.

Wolfie (my husky and reluctant co-host) is here, shedding fur and throwing side-eye, as always, while we dive into what it really means to stay wild in a high-achieving, hustle-obsessed world.

In this episode, I break down:

  • How I stayed Wild this week

  • The art of following your wild (even if it makes zero sense on paper).

  • My favourite segment, Unhinged Moments

  • Listener Dilemmas Answered Off-the-Cuff:

  • → How can I keep performing at a high level without burning out?

  • → What if I’ve outgrown my current path... but have no idea what’s next?

  • → How do I stop being “the strong one” for everyone else and finally prioritise me?

Staying Wild Episode 2 | Who Are You Without the Hustle? + Prof Skier Madison Rose

/

Welcome to the Staying Wild podcast!

We’re kicking off with a powerful masterclass: Who Are You Without The Hustle? A bold unpacking of burnout, identity, and the propaganda we're all ready to unsubscribe from. (Featuring a guest appearance from my reluctant, but beautiful, Husky co-host, Woolfie.)

Then, I’m joined by professional skier and mountain maven Madison Rose for a fire-side chat on trusting your wild, skiing through hormonal shifts, and what it really takes to elevate your performance—on the slopes and in life.

This episode is equal parts soul reset and alpine adrenaline.

You're going to love it! :)

Adelaide x

Masterclass | Who are you without the hustle?

Welcome to the first ever Staying Wild masterclass on the pod. We’re diving deep into a question that stops ambitious women in their tracks:

In this solo masterclass (with a special cameo from my Husky co-host Woolfie), we’re unsubscribing from the toxic propaganda tying your self-worth to your job title, your earnings, or how much you're grinding.

This episode is a permission slip to opt out of burnout, self-sabotaging autopilot, and sacrificing your sanity for success.

Let’s start living your life on your own unapologetic terms.

We explore:

  • The propaganda high-achieving women are finally ditching

  • The identity crisis that hits when the hustle stops

  • The “triangle of transformation” (doing, being, and belief systems)

  • Why your results aren’t changing — even with new habits

  • The invisible architecture underneath your burnout: beliefs + identities

  • The one belief or identity you can shift today to step into your Wild Self

This is for the outwardly successful woman, but who’s inwardly burning out.

It’s time to stop outsourcing your worth to your performance and success. Let’s unlearn the hustle, reclaim your wild.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your beliefs are not facts. Start choosing ones that serve your future.

  • Burnout isn’t always fixed with habits. Identity and belief shifts drive true change.

  • You are not the crazy one. You’re just awake in a system built on over-functioning.

  • You can change your life faster than you think. Neuroplasticity is real and powerful.

  • One belief, one shift, one breath — that’s all it takes to begin.

“I already know I’m enough by being. Try to keep up, humans.”

Welcome to Staying Wild: The Podcast That’s Here to Rewrite the Rules

/

Hello Wild Ones, and welcome to the very first podcast episode of Staying Wild!

Hosted by Adelaide Goodeve (and occasionally co-hosted by her sassy husky, Wolfie), this podcast is for anyone who's ever been told to "tone it down," "follow the rules," or "settle for a life that doesn’t light you up." Spoiler: we’re not doing that here.

This episode lays the foundation for what’s to come. You’ll hear why Staying Wild was born, who it’s for, and how this show might just be the spark that changes your life.

Why This Podcast Exists

Adelaide’s mission is personal. After being diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) as a teenager, she was told—by the best doctors in London—that she’d be bedridden for life. She didn’t accept that.

Instead, she tapped into something deeper: a wild inner voice that insisted more was possible. This show is an invitation to listen to your wild voice—the part of you that doesn’t settle, doesn’t play small, and isn’t here to live a life of “shoulds.”

What to Expect Each Week

  • Masterclasses: Solo episodes where Adelaide dives into a high-impact mindset or nervous system strategy (10–20 mins).

  • Guest Interviews: 30+ minute conversations with inspiring leaders, coaches, creatives, and athletes who are living their wild life.

  • Wild Dilemmas: Your chance to submit questions or sticky situations—Adelaide will help you untangle them, Bond-glam style.

  • Bonus “Wild Thursday” Episodes: A more unfiltered, behind-the-scenes riff. Think: voice notes from the heart, vulnerable shares, and possibly some Wolfie howls.

The Origin Story

Adelaide shares her raw, powerful journey from being too weak to brush her teeth… to completing Ironmans, becoming a high-performance coach, and skiing the fjords of Norway.

She talks about the life-changing moment she discovered neuroplasticity—the science of how we can rewire our brains—and how tools like the Lightning Process helped her reclaim her health and identity.

But it wasn’t a straight line. Adelaide also opens up about her battle with PMDD—a hormonal condition that hijacked her mind, body, and nearly her will to live. It's vulnerable. It's real. And it’s a masterclass in resilience.

Why "Staying Wild"?

Because staying wild means:

  • Listening to the voice within, not the noise around you

  • Choosing aligned action over fear-based comfort

  • Living a life rooted in freedom, fun, and unapologetic truth

You’ll hear stories of transformation from people who’ve done the impossible and you’ll get the tools to do it yourself. Whether you’re a burnt-out high achiever, an adventurer in disguise, or someone quietly craving more, Staying Wild is your permission slip to come home to yourself.

Read this if you're struggling right now...

/

I know one of my clients is struggling right now — finding it hard to see the light at the end of a very long tunnel.

This is for her. And it’s for you, if you’re there too.

May marks 1-year since I proved Doctors wrong (again).

18 months in hormone hell (PMDD) nearly ended me. But I rebuilt from the inside out.

Before the breakthrough came the chaos...

Let’s talk about the joyride that is PMDD (IYKYK — if not, buckle up):

  • Extreme lows — for me, that meant severe depression. The kind where you fantasise how you could end the pain.

  • Nauseating pain for days… or weeks.

  • Chronic insomnia.

  • Bone-deep fatigue.

  • And a goodie bag of other delightful symptoms.

  • Just to spice things up? It lasted 2–3 weeks every. single. month.

  • One symptom stayed for six months straight.

It felt like I had been hijacked.

No map. No manual. No mercy.

Now… rewind to two weeks before everything changed.

Last May, I wasn’t sure I’d make it to the airport, let alone ski under the Arctic sky at a backcountry ski festival in Svalbard.

That photo below? Taken at the end of Day 1.

It felt like a miracle.

So did the two that followed.

Because behind the scenes, I was falling apart.

Crippling mental breakdowns. The kind that make the world feel like it’s ending — again and again.

And yet… somehow I made it.

I skied two wild mountains — equal parts terrifying and electric.

By May 17th, I was on another trip in Jotunheimen. Something was shifting.

The symptoms were still there, but I could hold them differently. I started to believe maybe — just maybe — the worst was behind me.

I also knew I needed a different environment.

So when I stumbled across Sogndal — where you can ski slush in the morning and sunbathe by a fjord in the afternoon (yes, people actually live like this) — I handed in my rental notice. That same week.

Another leap of faith.

I had just enough trust to bet on the woman I could barely see.

Now fast-forward to this May 17th, 2025.

I slipped on a couture dress my mum made in her twenties (it fits like a dream), danced until 2am, hiked the next day, sunbathed, laughed with friends...

And then my period arrived.

Zero. Symptoms.

No pain. No rage. No anxiety. No bloating. No depression. No mood crashes. No sleepless nights. Not even a whisper of the old me.

I don’t say this lightly: This is what full-body, soul-deep healing looks like.

No hacks. No shortcuts. No pretending.

Just 1.5 years of intense work — on my mindset, my body, my energy, and every unconscious pattern beneath the surface.

  • Hired a multi-dimensional healer and coach. Accupuncture. Holistic doctors.

  • Invested £15-20k+.

  • Hundreds of hours.

  • Fuelled by blind delulu faith that my magic would return.

It did..Now it’s roaring back ;)

So if you’ve been told:

  • “Just give up”

  • “You’re crazy.”

  • “You’re too much.”

  • “It’s all in your head.”

  • “You’re not good enough”

  • “It’s only going to get worse”

You can kindly tell them to F*ck Off.

I’ve heard it all (and more). And I refused to believe it

If I had believed a single one of those projections? I’d still be stuck in a bed in my parents’ house, resigned to invisible conditions and in a very dark place. But I didn’t. (that's a story for another time - also recovered fully from severe chronic fatigue syndrome).

I believed it was possible to heal –– And when I didn’t, my team did.

Together, we brought me back to life.

In every sense of the way.

So let me ask you this:

What could you achieve if you believed in the impossible — and took aligned action every damn day to make it real?

Let this be your sign: The light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a myth — it’s just around a corner you can’t see yet.

And when you get there?

It will blow your f*cking mind.

I know — because I’ve done it. More than once. And the life flowing in now? It’s beyond anything I dreamed of.

If this resonated with you, and you want support on your version of this journey — just email me: adelaide@adelaidegoodeve

I’m here for the wild souls, the high-achievers, the high-performers healing in the dark.

You deserve to sparkle.

Louder. Brighter. Freer.

Big love, Adelaide x

P.S. I’m opening up space for just 3 new clients this summer.

So by the time the kids are back at school, the next season kicks off, or work ramps up again — you'll be showing up with a whole new mindset. More energy. More clarity. More momentum.

And if there’s a voice in your head saying “this probably won’t work for me” — don’t let that be the thing that holds you back.

I’ve helped 500+ high achievers get the promotion, nail the career pivot, sell their biz, become that name in the room — in 6–12 months flat.

No fluff. Just champagne fizz and results that actually stick.

Let’s have a conversation. You might be one decision away from a very different reality. Just just email me: adelaide@adelaidegoodeve

From Stuck To Thriving: Transform Your Mindset to Accelerate Career Growth and Leadership Success

/

On International Women’s Day, I had the incredible honour of speaking at my local gym about How to Break the Habit of Being Stuck.

This topic resonated with so many women in the room, and I wanted to share the key framework with you too. I know how it feels to pour effort into something only to feel like you're running in circles. Whether you're battling fitness, managing weight and wellbeing, or dealing with a toxic work environment, it can feel overwhelming.

Maybe you’ve found yourself questioning if change is even possible. Or wondering if you’ve missed the window to go after your dreams. But if you're here, I know you’ve achieved a lot—and you're ready for more. You're ready to break through to the next level, but you're just not sure how.

The Struggle: Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Every day feels like an internal battle between who you are now and who you want to be.

  • You don’t have a clear roadmap or the best tools to make your dreams a reality.

  • You haven’t given yourself the time and space to truly achieve your goals— you likely throw in the towel too soon.

  • You believe you'll become the person you need to be as you chase your goals – but that’s not how it works. It’s not about becoming someone else—it’s about aligning with your highest self right now.

It can feel exhausting to keep pushing toward your goals when it feels like you’re stuck. You’ve Googled, Instagrammed, and absorbed countless self-help advice—but you're still feeling frozen. Burnout, frustration, and self-doubt can keep you trapped in analysis paralysis.

The Good News: Here’s the game-changer: Your brain is plastic. That means it can grow, adapt, and change based on how you use it. It doesn’t differentiate between what’s real and imagined—so you can speed up the transformation process and start seeing results faster than you think.

And here's the best part: You can achieve your goals without burning out and without sacrificing your wellbeing. Yes, it’s possible to create transformation in a way that feels joyful, fulfilling, and energizing. It doesn't have to be hard or stressful.

Breaking the Habit of Being Stuck:

I know it feels soul-crushing when everyone else seems to have it all together, and you’re still feeling stuck. But here’s what I want you to know: You don’t have to wait to become the person you envision for yourself—you can start right now.

Here are the key steps to break free from being stuck and finally create the transformation you’ve been dreaming about:

1. Identify What’s Holding You Back:

The first step is to identify what’s causing your internal struggle. Is it negative self-talk? Fear of failure? Or maybe it's external factors like a toxic work environment or overwhelming responsibilities. Be honest with yourself about what’s blocking your progress.

2. Realize That Change Doesn’t Take as Long as You Think:

Just because you’ve been stuck for years doesn’t mean it will take years to get unstuck. Change can happen much faster than you realize once you shift your perspective and take the right action steps.

3. Align with Your Highest Self:

Achieving your goals isn’t about working harder—it’s about aligning with your highest self today. Start by identifying the mental, physical, and emotional resources you need to embody the person you want to become. Ask yourself: What beliefs, habits, and behaviors does my future self possess?

You can begin right now, in the present moment, to become that person. You don't need to wait for the promotion, the title, or the paycheck to start showing up as your best self. This shift in mindset is transformative.

4. Create a Clear Roadmap to Embody Your Future Self:

A clear plan of action is essential to keep you on track. This is where a structured roadmap can help. I recommend tools like my FREE Peak Performance Playbook and The Rise of The Wild Woman program to help you define and embody the thoughts, actions, and behaviors needed to reach your next level of success.

These tools will help you break the cycle of negative thinking and allow you to create lasting positive change, making the process of personal and professional growth feel easier.

5. Resolve Resistance with Confidence:

Resistance is a natural part of the growth process. When you face it, instead of avoiding or giving up, you’ll need a plan of action to move through it. By using the techniques from the programs I offer, you’ll gain the tools and mindset necessary to push through challenges, allowing you to stay on course and continue moving forward.

The Key to Success: When you approach your goals with the mindset that you are already the person who has achieved them, success becomes inevitable. Stop waiting for the “perfect” moment to become the person who can achieve success. Start now, and make your dreams a reality without burning out or sacrificing your mental and physical health.

Take Silje for example, we helped her go from burnout to thriving within 6 months by pinpointing exactly who Silje’s highest self is - both as a leader and a mother – and help her embody that version of herself. Here’s what she shared with me recently:

"My clarity is so much better now. I still face detours, but I regain my focus more easily. It’s tough, but your support has helped me reconnect with my inner strength and perspective. I’ll handle whatever comes my way!"

Conclusion: You are not stuck. You are simply in the process of transformation, and you have all the tools you need to accelerate that process. It’s time to break the habit of being stuck, step into your power, and start embodying the version of yourself that is already successful.

If you’re ready to take action and start your own transformation journey, I invite you to download my FREE Peak Performance Playbook or explore my program, The Rise of The Wild Woman.
