    35. 90-Minute Morning Method for Solo Conveyancers

    Some mornings feel like you’ve already done a full day’s work before you even open your first matter - school run, client texts, barking dog, cold coffee, and it’s not even 9 AM. If you’re a solo conveyancer, you know that chaos isn’t a one-off... it’s your normal. And it can leave you starting every day on the back foot. In this episode, I’m sharing my 90-Minute Morning Method, the structure I used as a solo operator to flip my mornings from reactive and scattered to calm and purposeful. We’ll cover: Why chasing perfection in your morning routine sets you up to fail. The three 30-minute blocks that help you protect your energy, focus, and time. How to stop letting “urgent” crowd out what’s truly important. Simple tweaks to make the juggle easier (especially if you’re a parent). Whether you’re trying to keep the business running solo, or you’re in a season of life where work and home constantly blur together, this is a practical way to start your day feeling in control (not already behind). 🎧 Listen now and try just one change to your morning this week, you might be surprised at how much difference it makes.

    34. Embracing Messy Success and Authenticity

    As a contributor to the upcoming book EmpowerHER, a powerful collaboration led by Elsa Morgan, Fiona opens up about the real and messy side of building a business on purpose (even if it didn’t always feel that way at the time). You’ll hear how masterminds, community, and saying "yes" before you're ready helped shape the business she leads today and why your story (yes, yours!) matters more than you think. Whether you’re building a business, rebuilding yourself, or just trying to make it through the week, this one’s for you. 🔍 In This Episode: The moment everything fell apart… and why that mattered The messy, personal growth behind writing EmpowerHER How masterminds and coaching changed the game Why you don’t need a “Cinderella story” to make an impact The power of sharing your story... especially when it feels ordinary 📚 About the Book: EmpowerHER is a collection of stories from 25 extraordinary women. Fiona’s chapter, Accidentally on Purpose, is a tribute to doing business your way - even if it gets messy. Launching end of August. https://www.fionaeastwood.com/

    33. Not Accepting the Status Quo

    Let's be honest, conveyancers... we've been holding it all together. Quietly managing risk, absorbing pressure, and taking on more responsibility than most people realise. Over time, we’ve started to accept things we shouldn’t: unrealistic timelines, rising compliance, external pressure, and undervaluing our work. But what if we hit pause and really looked at what’s going on? In this episode, we unpack the hidden load of conveyancing, the professional risks we rarely talk about, and how easy it is to lose sight of our own value. More importantly, we talk about what we can do to take back control.  You’ll Hear Us Explore: How a high-risk profession became one of the most undervalued The hidden work we do every day (that most clients never see) The growing weight of professional risk and what’s driving it How undercharging creates more than just financial strain What it takes to lead change and why it starts with us Something to Think About When we take our value seriously, others do too. Let’s stop normalising the chaos and start raising the bar... together. Want to Go Deeper? We’re doing this work inside the Conveyancer’s Growth Academy creating change that actually supports us, our clients, and our future. 👉 Add your name to the waitlist https://www.fionaeastwood.com/join

    32. Futuristic or Just Around the Corner?

    The phrase “future of conveyancing” might conjure up images of flashy tech, voice assistants, or maybe just another thing to add to your list. But what if the future isn’t something distant? What if it’s already quietly reshaping how clients search, choose, and trust you? In this episode, we explore the small but powerful shifts already changing our industry – from AI-powered search and voice assistants to digital-first expectations, augmented onboarding, and even the early stages of blockchain. It’s not about becoming a tech startup. It’s about staying visible, valuable, and unmistakably human in a world that’s evolving around us. We cover: What AI-powered search means for your website, FAQs, and blog strategy Why sounding human online matters more than ever Practical ways to update your content (without turning into a marketer) How small firms can lead with creativity, not scale The role of AR, explainer videos, and blockchain in what's coming next Why curiosity (not fear) is the mindset that will future-proof your business Whether you’re curious, cautious, or just trying to keep up, this episode is a grounded look at where things are heading and how you can meet the shift on your own terms. 💬 Connect with Fiona on Instagram: @fionaeastwood.co
