20 MAY. 2026 · This special live episode was recorded at The Balmoral Hotel, where Kylie was joined on stage by poet and author Donna Ashworth for a powerful and deeply moving conversation as part of our Women on Top Scotland tour.
Donna – whose words have resonated with millions across the world – brought her signature honesty, warmth and reflection to a room of 200 women on International Women’s Day. This episode captures a moment that felt both intimate and expansive, as women came together to reconnect, reflect and feel something real.
Together, Kylie and Donna explore identity, resilience and the quiet parts of ourselves that often get lost along the way. At the heart of the conversation is Donna’s reminder of the “little firecracker” within us – the bold, instinctive version of ourselves that still exists, waiting to be heard again. Donna shares how to:
- Reconnect with the version of you that once said yes without hesitation
- Move forward while honouring everything you’ve been through
- Navigate grief with honesty, openness and support
- Stop waiting for the “right time” and take the chance anyway
- Embrace midlife as a powerful new chapter, not a limitation
- Show up for yourself and others with more intention and care
There’s emotion, reflection and that unmistakable egg energy throughout. From moments of stillness to laughter and connection, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone—and that it’s never too late to come back to yourself. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected or ready for your next chapter, this conversation will stay with you long after you listen.
13 MAY. 2026 · This special live episode was recorded at The Balmoral Hotel, where Kylie was joined on stage by LinkedIn expert Alicia Teltz for a high-energy, insight-packed conversation as part of our Women on Top Edinburgh series.
Alicia – former Global Client Executive at LinkedIn and now founder of The Hype Department – brings a behind-the-scenes perspective on what actually works when it comes to building visibility, trust and real commercial results on the platform.
From the moment the room filled with 120 women – founders, first-time networkers, long-time egg members and those just starting out – the tone was set. This wasn’t your typical networking event. It was open, honest, a little chaotic (in the best way) and full of genuine connection.
Together, Kylie and Alicia break down the myths around LinkedIn growth and share practical, no-nonsense advice on how to show up, stand out and turn visibility into opportunity.
Alicia shares how to:
- Build a clear, compelling profile that explains what you do in seconds
- Create content that builds trust (not just likes)
- Avoid “salesy” posts that don’t convert
- Use storytelling and expertise to create value-led content
- Balance posting with meaningful engagement (the real growth driver)
- Stay consistent without burning out or overcomplicating it
- Use AI as a tool for ideas, not your voice
- Show up confidently, even when it feels uncomfortable
Her message is simple: visibility isn’t about hacks or quick wins. It’s about consistency, clarity and relationships.
Also joining the conversation is Rachel Lawrence, who shares a refreshingly honest take on confidence, imposter feelings and what it really takes to put yourself out there. Her story is proof that a year can change everything when you decide to show up anyway.
Expect practical takeaways, mindset shifts and that unmistakable egg energy throughout. If you’ve been meaning to “get serious” about LinkedIn, this episode will give you the clarity—and the push—you need to start.
28 ABR. 2026 · This special live episode was recorded at our Money Matters event in Edinburgh, bringing together expert voices across law, property and financial planning for a grounded, real-life conversation about money.
Hosted by Kylie, this panel cuts through the noise to explore how women can build, structure and protect wealth with more clarity and confidence – no jargon, just practical advice you can actually use.
Featuring Hayley Robertson (Brodies LLP), Ben Di Rollo (Niksen Property) and Jack Ferguson (Melville Independent), the conversation connects the dots between legal planning, property decisions and long-term financial strategy – and why thinking about these things earlier than you might expect can make all the difference.
Together, they share:
Why financial planning isn’t just about growing wealth, but protecting yourself and your family when life doesn’t go to plan.
The importance of having a legally sound will – and the risks of trying to do it yourself.
How and when to put a power of attorney in place, and why it matters more than you think.
Why starting a pension early can dramatically change your future options.
The realities of buying property with a partner – and why having agreements in place is essential.
How small decisions now can shape your financial freedom later.
There are also some powerful, personal moments – including Hayley’s story, which brings into sharp focus why putting the right protections in place isn’t something to leave until later.
This is an honest, accessible conversation designed to help you feel more informed, more prepared and more in control of your financial future.
If you’ve ever felt unsure about pensions, property, legal planning or where to even start with “getting your finances in order”, this episode will leave you clearer on what matters – and what to do next.

4 FEB. 2026 · Recorded live at Collector’s Hall, Glasgow. egg founder and host Kylie Reid is joined by Punam Krishan for a joyful, honest and reassuring conversation about women’s health, hormones and being kinder to ourselves.
Punam is an NHS GP based in Glasgow, a regular doctor on BBC Morning Live, a mum of two, and widely known as your GP bestie for health and wellbeing. She also appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2024, a journey we talk about in this episode, from vision boarding to intentionally putting herself forward.
At the heart of this live conversation is perimenopause, a topic affecting so many women in the egg community. Punam brings clarity, compassion and calm, helping to normalise what can often feel confusing or overwhelming.
Together, Kylie and Punam talk openly about symptoms, supplements, coffee and alcohol, what is worth your time and money, and what probably is not. A key thread throughout is Punam’s belief that women deserve to be heard and to feel seen.
She reframes menopause not as an ending, but as a period of transformation and a powerful new chapter. As you will hear, there is plenty of laughter, and a noticeable shift in the room as women leave feeling lighter, reassured and connected.
What discussed:
Perimenopause and common symptoms
Being kinder to ourselves and opening up conversations
Supplements, what works and what does not
Views on coffee, alcohol and lifestyle choices
Vision boarding and her journey onto Strictly
Why menopause can be a powerful time of transformation

4 JUN. 2025 · Recorded live at the Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh.
During this powerful live episode of Women on Top, our Egg Head host Kylie Reid sits down with Sarra Hoy for an unforgettable conversation that left the Lyceum in quiet tears and standing ovation.
Sarra opens up about her incredible journey — from a legal career shaped by a curiosity about crime and Death Row, to standing beside her husband, Sir Chris Hoy, through Olympic triumphs, and now navigating both his terminal diagnosis and her own battle with MS.
Their love story? Straight out of a movie — love at first sight in Grand Cru, Edinburgh. “I thought he was the most handsome man I’d ever met,” she beams.
But it’s Sarra’s reflections on togetherness that truly moved the room. “We’re going to move mountains, and we’re going to do it together. It’s the biggest privilege, becoming a team.”
Through years of long-distance, raising two premature babies, and rebuilding after life-altering health news, Sarra’s message is simple yet profound: Be present. Choose life. Embrace joy. Share your story.
It’s a conversation full of grace, grit, and the quiet strength of showing up — one day at a time.
What we talk about:
- Meeting Chris Hoy and navigating life in and out of the spotlight
- Supporting her husband’s Olympic career (and cooking superfood curries on the side!)
- Raising premature babies and her work with Bliss Scotland
- Facing a personal MS diagnosis with strength and perspective
- Why she believes in the power of storytelling and choosing presence over perfection
Recorded at: The Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh at Women on Top: May 2025

Lauren’s mission is to revolutionise confidence for 10 million women, and her work has already empowered thousands to step forward and own their voices.
Lauren dives into the realities of being a confident woman in a world that doesn’t always support it. We explore the fact that 28% of women who run their own businesses charge less than their male counterparts – a direct result of being conditioned to undervalue ourselves. Lauren shares her advice on how to break free from this mindset and start charging what you’re truly worth.
