    You’re Not Behind: Why January Feels Hard for Mum Business Owners

    That Behind Feeling? Let’s Talk About It.   Ever feel like everyone else has kicked into full work mode…while you’re still juggling kids, snacks, uniforms, camps, activities, and a half-working brain?   That tight chest a sprinkle of low-grade panic. That rather annoying thought loop of “I should be further ahead by now.”   This episode is your permission slip to stop beating yourself up.   Because that “behind” feeling? It’s not a sign you are failing or lazy and I promise it’s not a personal flaw.   It’s a split-season of capacity and once you see it clearly, everything changes.   In this episode, you’ll learn: Why feeling behind is a feeling, not a fact How shame sneaks in when we compare mismatched seasons What “split attention season” actually means for mums in business Why focus follows capacity (not the other way around) How to use January for preparation, not pressure What phased momentum looks like for real-life business owners Simple ways to calm the comparison spiral and reclaim your energy What we cover in this episode Why January is not the starting line we think it is The emotional sabotage of comparing yourself to people with totally different realities How to plan now so execution feels lighter (and faster) later Using low-brain tasks and idea parking to protect your future self Choosing calm instead of letting the internet dictate your pace Setting a clear restart date so you can stop feeling “in limbo” Your reminder (because it matters):   You are not late. There is no race. And there is no universal start line.   You’re not behind; you're in a split season of capacity. And once you plan for that, everything feels lighter.   👉 Ready for your next step?   ✔ Subscribe / Follow The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next ✔ Follow us on Instagram & Facebook — and submit a question for an upcoming episode   You don’t need to push harder.

    Why 90 Days From Now Will Feel Hard If You Do Nothing Right Now

    There’s a version of you 90 days from now. She’s checking her bank balance. Doing the mental maths. And she’s not stressed because things are “quiet”… she’s stressed because nothing was decided earlier. Welcome to your loving-but-direct reminder that business results are lag metrics. What feels hard in 90 days from now didn’t start in March. It started with what you did (or didn’t do) right now. And no, this isn’t about hustling harder during school holidays. It’s about doing enough so future you doesn’t panic. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why cash flow stress is almost never a surprise (even when it feels like one) How inaction now creates the “March money wobble” so many mums experience What minimum viable visibility actually looks like during busy seasons How to stay seen without being chained to your laptop or phone The one thing you should be watching weekly to protect future cash flow We talk about: Why business, parenting, health, and relationships all work on lag metrics The seasonal patterns that trip women up every single year (hello March/April) Why blaming the economy later is easier than making small decisions now Simple, realistic ways to keep sales ticking over while you rest How to decide once now… so you don’t have to panic later This is not about doing more. It’s about doing something. A phone call. A follow-up. One post a week. One visibility channel. One decision that future you will be grateful for.

    New Year, New You? Absolutely Not: A Realistic January Reset for Mum Business Owners

    If you’ve opened Instagram in January and felt immediately behind… If you’re being told this is the year to reinvent yourself while you’re still dusting sand out of the sheets, refereeing screen-time negotiations, and acting as unpaid Uber driver… This episode is for you. January is not supposed to be a stick to beat yourself with. For us it’s supposed to be a time to gently reenter, not reinvent. I’m calling BS on the New Year, New You pressure, especially for mums running businesses in the middle of school holidays, Christmas fallout, and real life. Because January is not the time to demand miracles. It’s a re-entry season, not a reinvention season. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why January is actually the worst time to expect peak performance The difference between reinvention and re-entry (and why it matters) The 3 counterintuitive “Moxie rules” for surviving January without sabotaging the rest of your year How to protect your income without burning yourself out What future you will be grateful you handled now What we dive into Holiday brain fog (yes, it’s real) Why “starting strong” is unnecessary and unhelpful for mums Lowering the bar on purpose  and why that’s smart business Choosing ONE revenue-protecting task instead of doing all the things How to gently reconnect with your business without losing momentum Protecting February, March, and beyond with small, low-energy decisions now Why sustainable businesses don’t demand peak performance in survival seasons My 3 Moxie Rules for January: ✔ Lower the bar intentionally for stability over acceleration ✔ Choose one revenue anchor  touch the flywheel, don’t spin it flat out ✔ Protect future you  small actions now = less stress later No massive goals or unrealistic expectations. And please, no pretending this is a holiday for you when it’s clearly not. Just permission to do less, stay connected, and enjoy the summer with your kids without blowing up the rest of your year. And while you’re here: ✔ Subscribe to The Moxie Movement Podcast so you never miss an episode ✔ Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for real-life business conversations ✔ Submit a question there to be answered on a future podcast episode Remember: There is no such thing as being behind. This is not a race. January is allowed to be gentle. Stay moxie 💛

    You’re Not Scattered, You’re Saturated: Mapping the Noise Draining Your Energy

    Why your brain feels fried (and how to clear the static so you can actually move forward) Ever sat down to work… finally… and your brain feels like it has 67 tabs open? Three of them are screaming for an update, one is definitely playing random music. And another is showing a meme you definitely didn’t search for. Yeah. This episode is for you. In Episode 88 of The Moxie Movement Podcast, I’m looking at exactly why you feel overwhelmed, scattered, exhausted, and stuck. Spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. It’s because you’re drowning in noise. In this episode, we map it. Name it. And start turning it down. Inside the episode, you’ll learn: ✔ Why your overwhelm isn’t a you problem it’s a bandwidth problem ✔ The three types of noise draining your energy every single day ✔ How unpaid mental load + unmade decisions are silently killing your momentum ✔ Why willpower, discipline, and motivation disappear when decision fatigue takes over ✔ How the world’s noise becomes your beliefs… and then your results ✔ A simple but powerful mapping exercise to clear your head fast ✔ How to separate signal vs static so you stop reacting and start leading again 🔊 The 3 types of noise stealing your focus 1️⃣ Outside noise The economy. The media. Social feeds. “Manifest harder” advice. Other people’s opinions about your “cute little business.” It’s the group chat you never asked to be in… and can’t mute. 2️⃣ Home noise The invisible load. The domestic circus radio. Uniforms. Lunches. Calendars. Holidays. Dogs. Santa. Laundry staring at you like a fourth child. This soundtrack never turns off. 3️⃣ Internal noise The inner critic. The overthinker. The “you should be further ahead” loop. It’s your accountant, the PTA, and inner critic forming a girl band and living rent-free in your head. When all three run at once? No wonder your brain battery is flat before you even start work. Luckily:  You don’t need more motivation or to find better discipline. And you definitely don’t need a 4am routine with ice baths and mushroom tea. You need to close some damn tabs. This episode walks you through a practical, doable exercise to get everything out of your head, onto paper, and start deleting what doesn’t belong without guilt or burning your life down. Because clarity isn’t created by doing more. It’s created by removing what doesn’t align. Your next step (don’t skip this part) Grab a piece of paper and do the exercise while the support is still in your ears. If this episode hits home (it will): 👉 Subscribe to The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next 👉 Follow us on Instagram & Facebook come hang out with us in the real world 👉 Submit your question for an upcoming podcast episode (yes, I answer the real stuff) Because the world doesn’t need you playing small, overwhelmed, or buried under static. It needs you to be clear, powerful, rested, and leading. Stay Moxie.

    Beyond the Noise: How to Beat Overwhelm and Close Open Loops

    You’ve built the whole damn dream house, metaphorically (and maybe literally)…So why are you curled up in the cramped cupboard under the stairs like a gremlin with a vacuum cleaner you haven’t used since April? In this episode, we’re going beyond the noise, the clutter, the chaos, the open loops, the endless notifications, the decisions you keep circling but never quite making. This isn’t about doing more. This is about doing LESS noise… and more you. Because: ✨ You already dreamed it. You already planned it. You already KNOW what’s possible for your life and business. But somewhere between Secret Santa emails, shark-obsessed children, 34,729 screenshots, and a junk drawer that could be classified as a small ecosystem…you lost your clarity and your frequency. And you tuned in to everyone else’s station except your own. Today, we fixed that. Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✔ Why overwhelm isn’t about “too much to do”  it’s about too many unmade decisions You're not drowning in tasks; you’re drowning in open loops.Emails you’ll “deal with later.”Photos to sort “one day.”Kids’ clothes are stacked “for when you have time.”Every loop drains your bandwidth until you’re exhausted before the day even begins. ✔ How noise shrinks your world and keeps you living small The news, your industry feeds, the economy talk, and other people’s opinions, none of this expands your world. It keeps you stuck in the broom cupboard, even though you built a freakin’ mansion of possibility. ✔ The ONE shift that instantly restores clarity Decide. Fast. Clean. Aligned for you. Your overwhelm ends the minute you begin choosing. ✔ A simple ritual to clear the clutter  mentally, digitally, emotionally, and physically Unfollow. Delete. Unsubscribe. And then Delegate.Close any open loops so 2026 doesn’t run you… YOU run it. ✔ Why “noise” is the biggest dream-killer for women in business Because when everyone else’s frequency is louder than yours, you forget you’re building a life and business your way, not theirs. The Challenge for This Week: Grab a notebook or your Notes app and ask: 👉 Where do I have unmade decisions looping right now? Notifications Photos Emails Files Junk drawers Kids’ mystery paper piles Old marketing assets Subscriptions that drain your vibe   Choose ONE area. Delete. Decide. Delegate.Give yourself 90 seconds and feel 90 minutes lighter.   Your Reminder: You are not here to live in the metaphorical broom closet. You are here to live in the house you dreamed of, the one with the spa, the library, the media room, the breathtaking view, the thriving business, the peaceful home, the YOU who is fully in her power. Tune out the noise. Tune back into your frequency. And make the decisions your future self is begging you to make. 2026 wants the most decisive, Moxie-filled version of you.   Loved this episode?

    From Burnout to Steady: Systems, Sleep & Scaling Without the Second Shift (with Rachel Cutler)

    If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through life + business like it’s an Olympic sport… this episode is a deep exhale. Today I’m joined by Rachel Cutler, co-owner of the Mahia Beach Store, a tiny seaside general store that’s been serving its community since 1940. And what I love most about this conversation? It’s not the polished “6-figure morning routine” fluff. It’s the real stuff: the messy middle, the exhaustion, the “I can’t keep doing it all” breaking point… and the practical shifts that helped Rachel move into a season she describes in one word: Steady. This is the episode for you if: You’re doing everything and calling it “just business ownership” Your calendar is living in your head (and waking you up at 2am) You feel guilty leaving early… even though you started this business for freedom You’re in perimenopause and sleep has left the chat You’re craving a business that runs like a business  not like a crisis What We Get Into (The Real Talk Bits) 1) The breaking point no one posts online Rachel found me not long after Cyclone Gabrielle but like she says, it wasn’t just the cyclone. It was COVID years, team dysfunction, financial pressure, working with her husband… and being so sleep-deprived she was basically running on fumes and grit. At one point? It was get help, divorce, sell the business, I’m out. That’s what happens when you’ve been carrying too much for too long. 2) The belief she had to drop: “It has to be me” Rachel admits the big shift was letting go of the story: “No one else can do it” “I don’t have time to teach them” “It has to be perfect” “If they don’t see me working, they’ll think I’m lazy” Oof. If you felt that in your ribs… same. 3) The system that changed everything: The Power Hour This episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually looks like to use time-blocking as an anchor not as a control freak tool. Rachel talks about how having her priorities scheduled stops her from being yanked around by everyone else’s urgency. And I’ll say it again for the women in the back:  Your calendar isn’t a cage. It’s a capacity unlock. It’s how we stop living in reactive mode. 4) “Giving them the answer” is actually stealing your future time One of my favourite parts: the leadership shift from outsourcing thinking back to the team. Rachel catches herself mid-moment: instead of doing the “ten second job,” she teaches someone else how  so she never has to do it again. That’s how you build a business that doesn’t need you for every tiny thing. 5) The guilt she outgrew: leaving early Rachel shares how she used to feel guilty leaving before staff… even though she was doing heaps of invisible work no one sees. Now? She leaves for the dentist without spiralling. Growth, babe. 6) Sleep (especially in perimenopause) is not optional Rachel is brutally honest about insomnia and how it wrecked her leadership, focus, mood, and efficiency and how getting proper support (plus better sleep hygiene) became a turning point. If you’re telling yourself “this is normal”… I need you to hear us both: It’s common. It’s not normal. Get support. Tiny Gold Nuggets You’ll Want to Steal 80% good is good enough (your wellbeing is not the thing we sacrifice for perfection) The “yes, but…” habit keeps you stuck. Try “yes, and…” to create options and spaciousness Systems you avoid are usually the ones that will save you the most time Your team often thinks you’re richer than you are  until you show them how money actually moves through the business If This Episode Hit a Nerve… If you’re sitting there thinking, “Yep… that’s me. I’m the bottleneck. I’m exhausted. I’m carrying too much.” Your next step isn’t “try harder.”  It’s getting clearer. Get supported. Put the right systems in place. Because you don’t need more motivation.  You need a way of running your business that doesn’t cost you your health, your marriage, and your actual life.   Your Next Steps (Do This Now) ✅ Subscribe to The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss the episodes that feel like a pep talk and a plan. ✅ Come follow us on Instagram + Facebook (and say hi  I’m not bitey, promise). ✅ Submit your question for an upcoming podcast episode over on Instagram or Facebook  if you’re thinking it, I guarantee another mum in business is too. See you over there, mama. Let’s build a business that supports your life  not one you need to recover from.

    We Bought a Business With No Money: Our 18-Year Startup Journey on The Rock

    How an impulse decision, a whole lot of ignorance + arrogance, and two very determined humans built a business… and a marriage. Episode Summary In this raw, hilarious, and deeply honest episode, Jonny joins me on the mic as we take you behind the scenes of our 18-year adventure of buying, building, and growing The Rock  our very first business we bought together back in 2007. And no, we didn’t buy it with a trust fund (I wish). We bought it with loose change, blind optimism, and zero clue how big of a ride we were strapping into. From kicking each other under the table when one of us (me) accidentally said “We’ll buy it!” to survive GFC, volunteer crew realities, handwritten booking sheets, porridge-based cuisine, and running cruises on caffeine and not nearly enough sleep… we’re pulling back the curtain on all of it. This episode is a love letter to big leaps, messy action, partnership under pressure, and what really happens when you go “all in” on a business you believe in long before you have the systems, strategy, or sleep to back it up.   In This Episode: 🔥 Our Impulse Buy That Changed Everything The true story behind the night we first heard The Rock might be for sale… and how my mouth said “We’ll buy it” before my brain consulted our bank account. 🔥 What The Rock Actually Is (and why people lose their minds over it) An overnight adventure cruise through Northland that feels like getting plugged straight into the heart of real New Zealand phosphorescence, fishing, kayaking, island hopping, stargazing, sunrise magic. 🔥 Why Ignorance + Arrogance Were Our Superpowers We didn’t know the economy was tanking. We didn’t know compliance would explode. We didn’t know most of the crew were volunteers. (Yep. That one hurt.) We just knew we were all in and honestly, that was enough to get us off the ground. 🔥 The Hardest Parts We Never Saw Coming A tax bill that nearly flattened us. Endless compliance layers (hi Maritime NZ + liquor licence + food control plan + DOC + Qualmark…). Living on the boat, eating leftover sausages and porridge, and running purely on grit. 🔥 The Strengths We Discovered in Each Other Jonny = calm AF under pressure, natural connector, the steady anchor our magpie-energy business needed. Me = fast learner, fast decision-maker, systems brain, the visionary pushing us forward. Together = unstoppable (even when completely unqualified). 🔥 What We Would Tell Our 2007 Selves “Enjoy the ride, it's going to shape everything.” (Jonny) “Who, not how. And pay yourself. For the love of god, pay yourself.” (Me) 🔥 The Big Lesson Taking a big risk together isn’t just survivable, it can be fun, expansive, identity-shifting, marriage-deepening magic when you’re both all in. Why This Matters for YOU Whether you're sitting in business overwhelm, wondering if you’ve made the wrong choice, feeling like your vision is too big or your bank account too small, hear this: Every successful woman I’ve ever coached has had a moment where she made a decision she “had no business making”… and it changed everything. Your version of The Rock is calling. Your leap doesn’t have to look like ours but it does have to be yours.
