SET YOUR SOUL ON FIRE

Behind The Deals With The Off Plan Insider

SET YOUR SOUL ON FIRE 🎙️
This episode goes deeper than property.
Kane and I spoke about the reality of building a life in Dubai, the pressure that comes with ambition, and the emotional side of working in an industry that constantly demands more from you.
We spoke about his why.Wanting to create a life for his mum after everything she did for him and his sister.
The addiction to the job.The highs.The lows.The chase.The emotional regulation needed to survive in sales.And trying to find balance in a city that can make you feel like slowing down means falling behind.
This wasn’t a polished “success” conversation.It was honest.
The side people don’t always see behind the deals, the lifestyle and the wins.
Also tried to get Kane to spit some bars for me…that unfortunately was not happening 😂

Just a girl learning and unlearning

I didn’t plan this episode… and maybe that’s why it needed to be recorded.
This week pulled something out of me I don’t usually let people see.
A mix of emotions I couldn’t control… moments of happiness, moments of heaviness… and learning that both can exist at the same time.
We talk about what it feels like when life shifts unexpectedly globally, personally, emotionally and how that impacts not just how we feel, but how we show up.
The pressure of being the strong one.The discomfort of letting people in.The urge to control what can’t be controlled.
And the realisation that maybe sadness isn’t something to fix… but something to feel.
This episode isn’t polished.It’s not tied up neatly.
It’s honest.It’s raw.It’s real.
If you’ve been feeling a bit off lately… this one will land.

In the middle of it all

A real, unfiltered catch-up on life lately.
From navigating the highs and gut-punch moments of real estate, to living and working in Dubai during a time of global uncertainty, this episode is a reflection of what it actually feels like to be in the middle of it all.
I talk about the emotional rollercoaster behind the scenes, how the Dubai market is responding (and why it’s not driven by panic), and what it’s taught me about resilience, adaptability, and staying steady when things don’t go to plan.
But this isn’t just about work.
It is about learning and unlearning.Taking things off your plate.Letting go of guilt.Building boundaries.And actually being present in the life you are creating.
If you are in a season where things feel uncertain, busy, or a bit out of your control… this one will land.

So much can change

How much can really change over time?
In this episode of Set Your Soul On Fire, I share a reflection on survival, self-loyalty, and the quiet decisions that shape our lives.
From a period where I didn’t want to be here anymore, to standing in a life built through alignment rather than escape, this conversation explores what happens when you stop abandoning yourself and start choosing honesty even when it costs you comfort.
This episode is for anyone who feels stuck, numb, or unsure whether the chapter they are in is the final one.
Because it isn’t.And because change is possible one honest choice at a time.

When the breath brings you back with Mark Toner

The longest episode I’ve ever recorded… so yes, Mark Toner is officially the record holder.And honestly? It needed to be.
This one goes deep into breath, darkness, healing, and the version of yourself you meet when everything else falls away.
We talked about the moments that break you, the discipline that rebuilds you, the ego you have to face, and the breath that pulls you back from places you didn’t think you could return from.
If you have ever felt lost, overwhelmed, disconnected from your own body, or stuck in a version of yourself you’ve outgrown then this episode will hit you right in the chest.
Mark’s honesty is rare. His energy is unique and this was one of the most interesting conversations I’ve ever had.
Disclaimer:
This episode includes open conversations about suicide, mental health, substances and the messy parts of being human. If you’re in a sensitive place today, please take care of yourself while listening.
This is for the people who have walked through darkness…and the ones who are still making their way out.

Natural Resilience: Beyond the Buzzword with Ciaran May

This episode was one I wanted to record for a long time and it truly was one of my favourites to record. A catch up with my good friend, Ciaran May, a man whose work, story, and heart I’ve admired for years. Ciaran is one of the most humble people you’ll ever meet. He’s built everything from the ground up, not for recognition, not for applause, but because he believes deeply in doing the work and doing it well.
We talk about resilience but not the Instagram version of it, but the real kind. The kind that’s forged in the quiet moments when life doesn’t go your way. The kind that takes patience, discipline, and choosing who you want to be even when nobody is watching. We talk about family, values, identity, and the responsibility that comes with stepping into your potential. We talk about life, business, setbacks, and the lessons in between.
This conversation is grounded, honest, and full of wisdom that doesn’t need to be shouted to be felt. A reminder that success means nothing if you’re not rooted in what matters. Grateful for this one. I know you’ll take something from it.

The Luxury Mindset: Thinking Bigger, Earlier — with Darragh Clarke
Some people chase the look of success.Others build the version of themselves who can actually hold it.

A special shout-out to Marc Watters — The Construction Coach, proud sponsor of the Set Your Soul on Fire podcast.

The Sundays I Don't Talk About

From the outside, it looks like I’ve got it all together. Bold moves, no regrets.But here’s the truth: Sometimes Sundays hit different. They are heavy. Lonely. Sad.
This episode is about the Sundays I don’t talk about the ache of independence, the armour I wear, and the fear of being labelled for simply being human.
Strong and soft. Independent and longing. Both can be true.
