You’re not alone and more importantly, you’re not actually an imposter.We’re diving deep into the truth behind imposter syndrome : what it really is, why it shows up right when you’re stepping into something bigger, and how to move through it without pretending to be someone you’re not.We look at the psychology behind that “I don’t belong here” feeling, from identity lag to the spotlight effect, and reveal why your brain is wired to doubt your success, even when the evidence says otherwise.

The average office worker can now focus for just 43 seconds on a single task.Bestselling author Johann Hari joins Roxie to explain why our ability to concentrate is collapsing...and how technology, diet, modern work culture, and social media algorithms are quietly rewiring our brains.But attention is only part of the story.In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the rising epidemics of loneliness, anxiety, addiction and burnout, the surprising science behind addiction and connection, and why so many people feel disconnected in a hyper-connected world. Johann also shares insights from his research into weight-loss drugs, what they reveal about cravings and compulsive behaviours, and what they might teach us about addiction more broadly.Through powerful stories and research from around the world, Johann challenges the way we think about mental health, arguing that healing often begins not with medication alone, but with rebuilding connection, purpose, and community.If you’ve ever struggled to focus, felt overwhelmed by modern life, or wondered why so many people feel lost today, this conversation will change how you see your mind.Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of sexual abuse, addiction, and trauma, which some listeners may find distressing.-New episodes every Monday!

Before this trip, I wasn’t okay.My chest felt tight. I wasn’t sleeping. My shoulders were spasming. The bills were piling up And no matter how much I tried to “think positively”, nothing was shifting.Then I realised something uncomfortable : You cannot build, attract or manifest from a body that feels unsafe.After spending several days in Singapore,  a city intentionally designed as a “City in Nature”, I experienced firsthand how environment impacts physiology. From tai chi in the Singapore Botanic Gardens to a sunrise sound meditation at Marina Bay Sands, to standing beneath the  an indoor waterfall at Gardens by the Bay, my baseline shifted.Regulation is SO important. And if you want to create powerfully, you must first feel safe enough to expand.This episode is brought to you in partnership with the Singapore Tourism Board.

What does it really take to build a global brand from nothing, without investors, without a safety net, and without losing yourself in the process?This week on RISE, Roxie sits down with Aimee Smale, founder of Odd Muse. What began as a university project and a dream on an iPad became a multi-million-pound fashion brand with stores in London and New York, sell-out collections, and a fiercely loyal community.But this conversation goes far beyond the highlight reel.Aimee takes us back to her very first week packing orders from a tiny self-storage unit, then fast-forwards to the pressure, responsibility, and reality of leading a 60-person team. She shares the risks that paid off (and the ones that really did not), how she built momentum after a single organic influencer moment changed everything, and the practical lessons she wishes someone had told her sooner, from pre-orders to operations to hiring support.Roxie and Aimee also get honest about the emotional cost of ambition. Burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, online criticism, and the strange loneliness of success. They explore how to protect your nervous system while still chasing big goals, why “more” is not always the answer, and what it means to rise into the best version of yourself, not just a bigger business.New episodes every Monday.Follow us on socials: @risewithroxie

Feel drained by certain people in your life? Struggling to stay positive in environments you can’t simply walk away from?In this bonus episode of RISE, Roxie answers a listener question about how to cope with negative people and emotionally draining environments when cutting them off is not realistic. Whether it is a colleague, a family member, or someone you live with, constant negativity can quietly affect your nervous system and leave you feeling tense, defensive, or emotionally exhausted.Roxie explores the psychology behind emotional contagion and explains why other people’s moods can influence how you feel, even when you are normally positive or self aware. She shares practical ways to protect your energy while staying kind, including setting internal boundaries, reducing emotional access, shifting from reacting to observing, and creating simple rituals that help reset your nervous system after difficult interactions.This episode is about learning how to stay grounded around negativity without becoming hardened by it. Because protecting your peace is not about changing other people. It is about changing how much access they have to your energy.Contact us at risewithroxie@bauermedia.co.ukFollow us on social! @risewithroxie

Want to feel lighter instantly? Think clearer? Breathe deeper?We're exploring The Power of Decluttering and why clearing physical space creates such deep emotional relief and mental lightness. Decluttering isn’t really about “stuff” — it’s about identity, attachment, and the quiet weight of old versions of you. Every object in your space holds a story, and when your environment is cluttered, your nervous system is constantly processing more than you realise. That low-level stress, decision fatigue, and subtle sense of being on edge? It often starts with what’s around you.We break down the science and psychology behind why a clear space feels so calming, how objects hold emotional memory, and why letting go strengthens self-trust and confidence. This isn’t about becoming a minimalist, it’s about removing friction, reclaiming your energy, and making space to rise.Contact us at risewithroxie@bauermedia.co.ukFollow us on social! @risewithroxie
