How Constant Pressure and Demands Impact our Personal and Work Life with Fleur Peacock

Thu, 26 Feb 2026 04:30:00 +0000

How does constant pressure and demands impact our personal and work life? We have Fleur Peacock on the podcast to discuss this very topic.

The average person receives 146 phone notifications daily, which translates to one notification every ten minutes.

It’s no wonder we struggle to switch off, and feel constantly under pressure.

Sarah and Fleur talk about the chaos of demands on people today, how it impacts our nervous system and overall performance in the workplace. Make sure to stick around to the end where she shares practical strategies you can implement today, to get better control of the chaos.

About Fleur

After 14 years in the fitness industry, moving countries, and navigating breast cancer, Fleur's work was never about reinventing herself. It was about coming home to who she'd always been.

MoreMoxie is a body of work expressed through speaking, retreats, and embodied experiences, rooted in courage, connection, and the belief that after survival, something truer and more spacious becomes possible.

This isn’t about routines or mindset hacks. It’s about reconnecting with your body, your nervous system, and your voice, so you can live and lead in ways that actually fit. Fleur create spaces where people can step out of survival mode and rebuild their lives and identities with honesty, depth, and room for joy.

Shaped by lived experience as much as training, my work is real, embodied, and human. Expect warmth, truth, the occasional swear word, and a deep obsession for the nervous system. This is serious work but it’s allowed to be joyful.

Why Sustainable Marketing is Essential with Leah Hart

Thu, 11 Sep 2025 04:30:00 +0000

"When thinking about ethical marketing, I basically boil it down to the fact that the people that we are marketing to are human beings, and they're worthy of respect and care."

Today, we’re joined by Leah Hart and diving into sustainable marketing, what it really means, why it matters, and how businesses can win customers while doing good for the world.

About Leah:

Leah is a sustainability nerd and digital marketer with nearly a decade of experience in everything from social media management and email marketing to SEO and analytics. She thinks the best marketing strategies are holistic ones and that "this is the way we've always done it" is the worst reason for doing anything. Outside of work, she's an avid hiker and birdwatcher. She also enjoys traveling the world in search of the best vegan junk food.

How to Succeed in SEO without Visibility with Veruska Anconitano

Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:30:00 +0000

In a world where we're constantly encouraged to be visible and build a digital brand (even by us), what if there's another way?

What if you simply don't want to, or don't feel comfortable putting yourself out there?

In this episode, Tazmin is joined by Veruska Anconitano, a global growth and international expansion consultant who has built a thriving business without relying on personal branding or constant visibility. She shares how she did it and (more importantly) why it works.

About Veruska:

Veruska, is a global growth and international expansion consultant specialized in multilingual SEO, globalization/internationalization, localization strategy, and go-to-market planning for complex, cross-border businesses. For over 20 years, she's helped companies grow internationally. She speaks multiple languages, holds a Master’s in Data Science, and has an academic grounding in sociology, sociolinguistics, and AI (LLMs), which gives her the ability to translate human behavior into actionable, scalable growth strategies. She's technical and loves working with dev teams: analyzing, diagnosing, and solving SEO and localization issues, addressing workflow and tooling inefficiencies, and building automation pipelines. She codes in multiple languages (💕 Python) and feel just as comfortable building workflows or auditing code-heavy international sites as she does leading cross-functional global teams.

Getting Comfortable with Feeling Uncomfortable with Sangeeta Pillai

Thu, 15 May 2025 04:30:00 +0000

This episode comes with a trigger warning. We talk about alcoholism, plus mental and physical abuse (which does involve a child), so listener discretion is advised.

We can’t always avoid life’s curveballs, but we can prepare ourselves to handle them with resilience and clarity.

This week, Sangeeta joins Sarah to talk about navigating life’s inevitable challenges. She opens up about her own personal experiences, what threw her off course, how she coped, and the steps she took to get back on track. Together, they explore how to get comfortable with discomfort and share practical strategies to help you move forward when life doesn’t go as planned.

About Sangeeta:

Sangeeta Pillai is an activist, podcaster, writer & speaker. She is the creator of the South Asian feminist platform Soul Sutras, has won many awards for her Masala Podcast and been featured in the press a lot. What keeps Sangeeta going? The hundreds of messages I get from my sisters who tell me that my work “changed their life”.

How to Support the Trans Community (and Why It’s Important)

Thu, 01 May 2025 04:30:00 +0000

In this episode, we’re unpacking the UK Supreme Court’s ruling that defines “woman” based on biological sex and why that’s deeply harmful to the trans community. We’ll explore how this decision erases trans identities, threatens legal protections, and reverses hard-won progress.

We’ll share my thoughts on why trans rights are human rights, and why true equality means standing with our trans siblings. Finally, we’ll talk about how to show up in the workplace, from respecting pronouns to challenging transphobia and creating inclusive spaces. This isn’t just about policy, it’s about people. Let’s talk about what real support looks like.

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 04:30:00 +0000

This week we’re doing things a little differently…

On Wednesday 9th April, the night before brightonSEO, we did a LIVE podcast recording, which was a collaboration with our dear friend, Jack Chambers-Ward, who hosts the Search with Candour podcast.

That’s right, we recorded an episode in front a live audience, and the topic was all about personal branding.

LIVE Podcast Sponsors

Shoutout to our headline sponsor, SISTRIX, who provided us with insightful data on the topic of personal branding, which helped us to shape the episode and conversation on the night.

Also thanks to our food sponsor Majestic and drink sponsor Sitebulb. The event isn’t possible without the support of our wonderful sponsors, so huge thank you!

Okay, are you ready for the live podcast recording? Let’s get stuck in!

Her feelings about having perimenopause
How it shows up for her at work
How she manages symptoms

Thu, 16 May 2024 02:00:00 +0000

We do a recap of the live podcast we did in April 2024, where the topic was all about being authentically (and unapologetically) you.

We review the live podcast with Jack, and get his viewpoint on being authentically himself, and how he overcomes the obstacles and challenges that he faces.

Hello everyone! This is The SEO Mindset Podcast, with your hosts Life Coach Tazmin Suleman and SEO Manager Sarah McDowell.

Each episode we will give you actionable tips, guidance and advice, sharing our own experiences and real life examples to help you not only build your inner confidence but to also thrive in your professional career.

Having spoken to members of our industry, there were some common pain points. These included frustration at lack of career and salary progression, overwhelm and imposter syndrome. A key way to tackle these is by harnessing the power of the mind, because if you change how you think, you will change how you feel, and if you change how you feel you will change what you do.

In this podcast series, we want to show you how.
