Aileen, a Scottish-born Londoner, always had a gift for listening and was someone people naturally confided in. She fell into a high-pressure financial career, but its cutthroat nature led to burnout. Seeking a fresh start, she moved to Spain as a single mother, only to realise happiness wasn’t in a place. Now back in London, she’s passionate about supporting women through life’s challenges.

Julie, an Australian writer and former documentary filmmaker, spent 18 years living across six countries, driven by a deep curiosity about the world, its people and their stories. From filming for National Geographic to studying psychology, she has always searched for deeper understanding—both of the world and herself. Now based in Melbourne, she continues that journey through writing and connection.

Aileen and Julie are the voices behind You Keep Me Sane®, the podcast that helps women navigate life’s challenges through honest conversations, deep connection, and the power of being truly heard.
