In this episode, I’m getting real about something so many of us experience—those times when you’re just not feeling it. The motivation’s gone, energy is low, and even the simplest business tasks feel heavy.

I share honestly about what's been going on behind the scenes for me, and how that’s impacted the way I show up—not just in my business, but in my body and mind too. If you’ve ever felt like stepping back (or disappearing altogether), this one’s for you.

Inside, I talk about:

• What might really be happening when you feel off—and why you’re not broken or lazy
• How I distinguish between needing a break vs. needing to reconnect
• The “bare minimum” mindset I turn to when showing up feels hard
• How structure (yep, even loose structure) can create more freedom, not less
• What I’ve learned about nervous system regulation—and how it affects motivation
• The journaling prompts, questions, and shifts that help me return to flow (gently)

This episode is about permission—permission to be human, to pause, and to come back slowly and intentionally. I hope it brings you insight, support, and the reminder that you're not alone in this.

🎧 Press play when you're ready to feel a little more grounded—and a little less stuck.

In this episode, I’m sharing something a little different — and something that’s had an incredible response in my community. It’s a replay of one of my most popular masterclasses, where I walk you through the real journey of one of my clients: from feeling frustrated, ghosted, and burnt out... to signing multiple clients and creating her first $4,330 month.

This is the first time I’ve broken down the full behind-the-scenes process — what we did, why we did it, and how she created lasting, sustainable results by aligning her business with her values.

In this episode, I’ll talk you through:

• Where she was when we started: overworked, underpaid, and questioning her worth
• The mindset shifts that changed everything — including how we tackled people-pleasing, mind-reading, and the fear of charging properly
• How we restructured her outreach, content, and sales process to reduce overwhelm and increase connection
• Why working harder wasn’t the answer — and what working smarter and deeper really looked like for her
• How we built a strategy rooted in clarity, simplicity, and sustainability (no cold DMs required)
• The power of boundaries, pre-qualifying clients, and learning to say “no” from a grounded place
• How she started to trust herself, back herself, and show up with more confidence than ever before

You’ll also hear how we celebrated small, process-based wins each week — and how those built into a powerful result that had her crying happy tears and messaging me with joy.

If you're a sensitive, heart-led business owner who wants to grow in a way that honours your energy and values, this episode is for you.

This is more than just a case study — it’s a real-world example of what becomes possible when you lead with integrity, clarity, and self-trust.

I would love to hear what lands with you so please do let me know,

In this episode, I welcome leadership coach, author, and speaker Rachel Radway, whose new book Perceptive explores the untapped power of high sensory perception in leadership.

• Rachel’s winding, multicultural career journey and how it shaped her coaching approach
• The surprising power of high sensitivity and what makes it a leadership superpower
• Common misconceptions around sensitivity and how they hold people back
• Insights from Rachel’s research and interviews with women leaders featured in Perceptive
• The challenges of masking, people-pleasing, and reclaiming your intuitive voice
• Why empathy, deep listening, and strategic thinking are more than soft skills—they're strengths

Whether you're a sensitive leader, a curious empath, or someone navigating a non-traditional path, this conversation offers validation, empowerment, and practical wisdom.

In this episode, I’m sharing something a little different—and a little vulnerable.

If you're a recovering people pleaser or you've been told it's NOT okay to toot your own horn, this is for you.

I walk you through how I went from struggling with low conversion rates to achieving results that now sit well above the industry standard. And no—it didn’t happen overnight.

Here’s what I dive into:

• The mindset shifts that helped me stop fearing mistakes and start trusting myself
• Why neutrality (not panic) is my secret weapon when looking at data
• The often-overlooked power of patience and why it changed everything
• How I finally found clarity in my messaging after years of pivoting
• The quiet but powerful strategies that helped me improve conversions without changing who I am

Whether you're an introvert, a highly sensitive person, or just tired of the hustle-heavy noise out there, I hope this gives you both practical insight and permission to do things your way.

Come listen—I'd love to know what lands for you.

Selling used to feel really uncomfortable for me—especially as a highly sensitive introvert. I tried the typical sales tactics and “bro marketing” strategies, and quickly realised they didn’t work for me… or for my energy.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve redefined selling in a way that feels authentic, grounded, and sustainable. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to align your business with who you truly are, I hope this conversation gives you permission to do things differently.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why traditional sales methods never sat right with me—and what I tried instead
• The key mindset shifts that helped me stop performing and start connecting
• How I use content to take the pressure off sales conversations
• The difference between free sessions and discovery calls (and how I use both)
• Why honouring my energy cycles has been crucial to sustainable selling
• The simple funnel that helped me grow my business organically

If selling has ever felt icky, overwhelming, or just not you, this episode will help you find a new way forward—on your own terms.

I’d love to hear what resonates. Feel free to reach out and let me know your takeaways!
