Business talk with the guard down.
Unshakeable Talks follows businesswomen past the polished version of success and into the parts that usually stay private. Its conversations move quickly between scaling, self-trust, pressure, personal branding, menopause, and the emotional cost of building a life around work.

Unshakeable Talks is a conversational business show about women who are trying to stay intact while building something bigger than themselves. Its center of gravity is female entrepreneurship, but the episodes rarely stay inside business tactics for long. They move into identity, confidence, money, burnout, visibility, health, and the complicated feeling of becoming known for what has also exhausted a person. The pace is quick. The emotional temperature is warm. Guests are encouraged to tell the longer version of the story, including the wobble before the lesson and the cost behind the win. Emma Rothwell’s episode connects a personalized mug business, a starting investment, six-figure growth, and the aftermath of appearing on The Apprentice. The sharper point is not just growth, but what happens when public failure becomes a strange source of inner peace. Jojo Kearney’s conversation is about personal brand as identity in motion, with magnetic presence framed as something that can give other women permission to be themselves. Katie Schweiger’s own episode reverses the usual interview setup, with Chloe-Anne Collins asking about burnout, kindness, difficult clients, scaling, and the moment a business starts to feel indistinguishable from the person running it. Chrissie Hiller’s episode brings menopause into the business-and-confidence conversation without treating it as a side issue. Weight, mindset, strength, body image, and self-permission all sit together. Emma Gibbs-Ng’s appearance is about pressure, spotlight, body regulation, and the trust required to speak without overcontrolling the room. Sam Binks adds another recurring thread: high-achieving women who have learned to do more, then have to learn how to receive more. The show is frank without becoming cruel, supportive without sanding off the hard parts. It suits listeners who want business stories that sound close to the bone: not just how a woman scaled, but what scaling did to her, what it revealed, and what had to be rebuilt afterward.
Made for: For women building businesses who want candid conversations about ambition, identity, burnout, visibility, confidence, and life outside the brand. It especially fits high-achievers who are tired of polished success stories that skip the emotional cost.
What sets it apart: Unshakeable Talks stands out by letting business conversations become personal before they become instructional. The strongest moments come from lived stories: garage starts, public setbacks, menopause, people-pleasing, overgiving, and the hard work of trusting oneself again.
The Unshakeable Talks with Katy Schweiger lifts the lid on what entrepreneurs are really going through - the mistakes, the pressure, the myths we’ve been sold, and the messy reality of balancing business and life.This isn’t another podcast teaching strategy or pretending success is seamless. It’s about raw, honest conversations with female entrepreneurs who are doing it all - the wins, the wobble moments, and the truths most people never say out loud.Because running a business as a woman isn’t harder, but it is different - and it’s time we talked about it.
