    77. Building a business that works with your menstrual cycle with Morín Glimmer

    This week’s chat with Morín completely shifted how I think about working with my own body inside my business. We get into why she became a “brand strategist for the cyclical future of work,” how the four phases of the menstrual cycle map onto the seasons of nature, and why she believes the missing piece of every brand strategy is the body itself. The whole episode is full of the kind of gentle reframes that quietly change how you show up in your business. What we get into: * The four phases of the menstrual cycle and how to actually sync your work to them * Why rest is a resource, not a reward you earn after pushing through * Why your body is the capacity your business runs on (and what happens when you ignore it) About Morín: Morín Glimmer is a London-based feminist brand strategist and founder of Rosy Futures, a practice working at the intersection of brand, body, and business. Drawing on 15 years of brand development and over 30 years of living with PMDD, she helps feminist founders build identity-led brand foundations that hold, and uses cyclical living principles as an operational methodology in business. She co-hosts the podcast Wombly Being with Rosannah Jones, and her longer-term work is pointed toward rebuilding workplaces and economic structures around cyclical bodies, not against them.

    75. Boundaries, blind spots, and pricing with Shannon Mattern

    This week's chat with Shannon is full of the kind of wisdom you only get from doing it the hard way first. We get into how she built the Web Designer Academy after a rough year of freelancing, why her brand was born from one rude comment in a WordPress forum, and how she thinks about boundaries, mentors, and the one pricing mistake she sees experienced designers make over and over. The pricing reframe alone is worth a listen. What we get into: * How to think about boundaries as guidelines for yourself, not punishments for your clients * The difference between a coach who shows you more of you, and one who turns you into a copy of them * The pricing reframe that flipped how I think about charging (clients aren’t buying you, they’re investing in themselves through you) About Shannon: Shannon Mattern is the founder of the Web Designer Academy which provides strategic pricing, sales and business coaching for women web designers. She’s also the host of the Profitable Web Designer podcast where she shares pricing strategies, mindset shifts and behind-the-scenes stories to help women web designers stop overdelivering, raise prices, and create the freedom and income they desire.

    I’m joined by Kierian Cameron, founder of Brand Cult, the UK’s first print-only business newspaper. Kierian is all about “designing your way in”: finding the third door when the front-door queue never moves and the VIP door was never open to you. She built a whole brand using it, printing a newspaper while everyone else went digital. We get into why standing out has to be strategic, how to spot the “inherited thinking” quietly running your business, and her five-step framework for carving your own way in. What we get into: * The “third door” concept and what it means for your brand * Standing out on purpose vs. being different for the sake of it * How to spot the “inherited thinking” running your business on autopilot * Kierian’s five-step framework for designing your own way in About Kierian: Kierian Cameron is the founder of Brand Cult, the UK’s first award-winning print-only business newspaper for entrepreneurs and founders.
