    181: Jacqlin Richards: How Your Inner Child Controls Your Entrepreneurial Success

    Sometimes the biggest obstacles in business aren't your competitors, algorithms, or even cash flow - it’s the patterns you've been carrying since childhood. You've built your business, shown up consistently, and still there are moments when self-doubt, perfectionism, or the urge to control everything creeps in. If that sounds familiar, this one's for you. Laura Bell and Vicki Abraham sit down with Human Conditioning and Emotional Awareness Expert Jacqlin Richards - author of F*ck Up Your Kids with Grace and Humour - to talk about how your early life experiences are shaping the way you lead, make decisions, and relate to the people around you. This starts as a conversation about parenting and quickly becomes about you - and each of us. The childhood programming you grew up with, how you were guided, labelled, or protected, shows up in your business as overthinking, people-pleasing clients, avoiding risks, imposter syndrome, and struggling to back yourself when things get uncertain. With nearly two decades of research and personal work in human behaviour, Jacqlin, Laura and Vicki explain why building a business is about so much more than strategy. It's about learning to parent yourself, embrace your humanness, and make decisions from a place of curiosity rather than fear. If you want to stop exhausting yourself by forcing confidence, and instead build something that actually feels like you, this is a great place to start.

    180: How to Attract Clients Through Authentic Storytelling

    We've noticed something interesting about the entrepreneurs we work with, especially us women. Your marketing can look absolutely polished on the outside while you’re still feeling uncomfortable on the inside. In this episode, Vicki and Laura talk about why so many skilled, experienced business owners still struggle to show up confidently in their marketing. The pressure to sound perfect creates distance instead of connection (which is the opposite of what we're trying to achieve). This is a conversation about shifting away from selling and toward storytelling. Using real experiences and honest moments to build trust with the right people. Because when marketing feels human, it becomes easier, more natural, and actually attracts clients. We talk about why traditional marketing often feels forced and out of alignment. How perfectionism keeps you from being seen and heard. Why vulnerability creates trust faster than polished messaging ever could. We share a simple storytelling framework that removes the pressure to perform, and we discuss why a small, engaged audience can lead to genuine business growth. If you've been doing all the right marketing steps but feel like a fake, this episode might help you reconnect with your message and share your story with more clarity and confidence. It's a grounding conversation about marketing your business in a way that actually feels true to you. Watch until the end.

    179: Financial Clarity Expert Linda Hunt: Stop Undercharging: The Real Reason Pricing Feels So Hard

    Why confident entrepreneurs still hesitate when they say their price You know your worth. You've got the credentials, the experience, the client results. And yet when it comes time to say your rate, there's that pause. That moment where your voice almost wobbles. If this sounds familiar, you're not alone. And according to financial clarity expert Linda Hunt, it's not actually a confidence problem. In this episode, Linda (Founder of SumSolutions) shares what she discovered after years of being overworked, underpaid, and wondering why the numbers never seemed to match the effort. She walks us through the framework that helped her move from burnout to alignment, and why pricing has less to do with spreadsheets and more to do with feeling safe. We talk about: 📌Why undercharging often has nothing to do with numbers (it's a nervous system issue) 📌How your body influences the way you speak about money—and what to do about it 📌Why time is your most valuable asset and how most of us are miscalculating it 📌The shift from trading hours to pricing for transformation 📌What it actually looks like to build a business that honours rest, not just revenue Linda's got a book coming out called The Money Conversation, and this episode gives you a preview of the mindset shifts that make sustainable pricing possible. This one's for you if you're ready to stop hustling harder just to stay afloat and start building something that actually supports your life.

    What happens when you’ve done everything “right” in business, worked hard, stayed consistent, invested in yourself, and money still feels tense, limited, or just out of reach? Money mindset coach and serial entrepreneur Halle Eavelyn says the issue isn’t your strategy. It’s the invisible conditioning shaping how safe you feel receiving more.

You’ll hear about: 📌 The hidden money ceilings most women don’t realise they’re living under 📌 Why imposter syndrome shows up strongest right before growth 📌 How money functions as energy, not a limited resource 📌 Simple practices to calm fear and stop self-sabotage around income 📌 Why women building wealth changes families, communities, and futures If you’ve ever undercharged, delayed opportunities, or thought “that’s not for me” when you see someone else’s success, this episode is your invitation to choose differently. 🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: What would change if I trusted myself to receive more?
