Welcome to The Halopod-cast.
Episode five of The Inner & Outer Leader marks a new chapter as Ivy and RaeAnne take over the mic, bringing fresh perspectives and energy to the conversation.
In this episode, they dive into the first of our outer domains—Personal Management—exploring what it really means to lead yourself before leading others. Together, they unpack how young people can balance school, work, and relationships while navigating digital distractions and the pressure to always “do more.”
It’s a thoughtful conversation on learning to prioritise what matters, saying no when needed, and managing both productivity and wellbeing in today’s fast-paced world.
Episode Highlights
Ivy and RaeAnne get real about what it means to lead yourself in a world full of noise. From setting boundaries and juggling priorities to navigating digital distractions and peer pressure, they talk through how self-management actually plays out in daily life. The two swap reflections on saying “no” without guilt, spotting opportunities without burning out, and practising emotional regulation when things get overwhelming. It’s an open, grounded conversation on learning to pause, prioritise, and build habits that help you stay centred—even when life gets messy.
