In this episode, I’m joined by Saoirse Connolloy — author, activist and founder of Rebel Ma — who shares her journey from corporate communications in Sydney to building a global publishing collective from Bali.

But this isn’t a 'quit your job and follow your dreams' story.

It’s a conversation about:

  • The discipline behind desire-led living
  • What happens when growth outpaces structure
  • The pressure expansion places on partnership and family
  • Why systems, support and architecture matter just as much as vision
  • The difference between romanticising freedom and building it

We explore the tension between feminine flow and masculine structure, the cost of ignoring capacity, and the reality that building something meaningful requires more than inspiration.

This is about identity evolution in real time.

Because the question isn’t whether you’re called to expand.

It’s whether you’re building the structure that can hold it.

You can find Saoirse at Rebel Ma Rising and sign up to her summit Rise of the Rebel Matriarch March 2-6 2026. You can find all session on YouTube
