  1. Your Mental Health is Your Business

    Your Mental Health is Your Business

    This one’s personal. A “minor” ankle injury forced me to stop, and I didn’t realise how much I rely on my regulators (walking and running) to keep steady until it was suddenly gone. While I was benched, I also had a routine skin check, and it brought up more emotion than I expected after last year’s melanoma. I told myself it was fine, filed it away, and kept going. Then I jumped on a call with Serena, my sister and business manager, and one simple question opened the floodgates. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when your “regulator” gets taken away, why stress can stack up quietly until you feel flat and heavy, and how to find your way back without needing some big dramatic reset. I’ll also give you a few questions to help you spot your early warning signs, protect the thing that keeps you well, and make sure you’ve got someone in your corner who won’t let “I’m fine” be the end of the conversation.

    Kindness Isn't Dead

    Everyday kindness has a way of finding you when you least expect it. In this episode, I’m sharing a story that wasn’t planned, but one that became a lesson I couldn’t keep to myself. A few weeks ago, I fell into a gap on a dark street and landed awkwardly on rocks… just hours before I was due to fly to Brisbane for our first Go-Getters Day. I still got on the plane (because sometimes you don’t get perfect conditions, you just keep moving). But what happened next surprised me: everyday kindness showed up everywhere. I was reminded that kindness is alive and well. It truly matters more than we realise. This episode is also a gentle nudge about support. So many women are high-functioning, capable, and used to pushing through… but there’s a point where “I can handle it” becomes “I refuse to be supported.” That might seem like a strength, but it’s actually just a habit. If you’ve been feeling stretched, tired, or like you’re carrying too much alone, let this be your reminder: you don’t have to do it all the hard way.

    Behind The Scenes of Running a Retreat

    What really makes a business retreat powerful? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of our Crowned for Success Retreat inside the Thriving Women Program and sharing what actually creates transformation when women come together in the right space. It’s not just the beautiful setting, the thoughtful details, or the polished photos. It’s what happens when women finally have room to slow down, reflect, and hear themselves think. I talk about why retreats matter so much for women in business, especially when life and work are already full. We cover the importance of creating space, building real connection, and helping women find clarity around what matters most in their business. I also share why simplifying your offers, protecting your energy, and stepping away from the noise can create more momentum than constantly doing more. This episode also goes into the unexpected magic of play, surprise, and shared experiences. From strategy sessions to a scavenger hunt around Melbourne, I reflect on how laughter, honesty, and community can create breakthroughs that a standard workshop simply can’t. Sometimes the biggest shifts happen in the pauses, the conversations over dinner, and the moments you never could have planned.

    The Moment My Daughter Reflected My Life Back to Me

    What do our children learn from us when we’re not even trying to teach them? In this episode, I share the moment my 12-year-old daughter started her own business, complete with a Canva brochure and letterbox drop strategy, and why it stopped me in my tracks. It was one of those moments that made me realise just how much our kids are watching, absorbing, and learning from the way we live. This conversation goes deeper than parenting. It’s about conscious living, the patterns we pass on, and the environments we create at home, in business, and in our relationships. I reflect on a simple sleepover tradition, a small moment of gratitude that hit me harder than expected, and what these experiences revealed about belonging, safety, and the kind of life I want to model. What are you consciously modelling in your life right now? Because the small things matter more than we think and sometimes the biggest lessons come from the people watching us most closely.

    Stop Charging Hourly Rates and Make More Money In Business

    Stability is underrated. And if your income relies on one offer (or one good month), it’s no wonder your business can feel fragile. In this episode, I’m breaking down how I’ve built multiple streams of income to create a stable business model. We’ll talk about why relying on a single offer is risky, how I structure my core offers, and what I recommend if you want to create multiple income streams without ending up with constant overwhelm. I also share how I think about multiple streams of income beyond the business, including building wealth through property, shares, and ETFs, and why I never wanted my personal financial security tied only to my ability to show up and work. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t have spare cash to invest,” I cover the exact mindset and system shift that helped me: Profit First, separating accounts for operating expenses, tax, and profit, and why starting small can be the beginning of real financial stability. You’ll leave with practical next steps to build a more stable business income, create a buffer, and start designing a business that supports your life — calm, confident, and sustainable.

  6. What Taylor Swift taught me about business

    What Taylor Swift taught me about business

    I didn’t think I could learn leadership lessons in business from Taylor Swift…how wrong I was. I went to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as a mum (and a proud Swiftie) with my 12-year-old daughter, expecting glitter, sing-alongs, and a fun night out. What I didn’t expect was to walk out thinking: Oh. That’s what leadership looks like at scale. In this episode, I share the leadership lessons in business I took from the Eras Tour and the documentary that followed. We’re talking about protecting your energy like it’s an asset, leading as a guide (not the loudest voice in the room), and why kindness isn’t weakness when it’s paired with strategy. I also unpack what it really means to curate your community and scale without losing the thing that makes people trust you in the first place. If you’re building a business and you’ve been feeling stretched, overbooked, or like you’re carrying too much alone, this one will land. These are practical leadership shifts you can make this week, without overhauling your whole life. Want a curated room for women in business?
