    If Your Business Motivation Has Plummeted This Year, Listen to This

    Let's be honest, 2026 has started off pretty heavy. The property industry feels volatile, motivation is low, and a lot of capable business owners are making decisions based on fear rather than strategy. In this episode, I'm talking about what I'm seeing and hearing right now – from my mastermind table, from one-to-one clients, and from my own experience navigating an industry that hasn't felt particularly easy since 2020. Because here's what worries me: when things get tough, the instinct is to stop, pull back, and wait it out. But what if it stays like this for another year? Two years? What's the backup plan then? I cover: ✱ Why grinding to a halt isn't actually a strategy ✱ What pivoting actually looks like in practice ✱ Real client stories of women who've adapted rather than stopped ✱ Why stripping back your marketing and development could be the most dangerous move right now ✱ The isolation trap – why going it alone (or relying on AI) isn't the answer ✱ How to start making decisions from strategy rather than fear ✱ Why finding your people matters more than ever right now I also share my own pivot story – from SA, to HMOs, to flips – and why I've never once ground to a halt, even when it would have been the easier option. This episode won't fix the market. But hopefully it'll remind you that you're not alone, and that there's always a way through.

    ADHD in Business – How to Work With Your Brain, Not Against It

    Did you know entrepreneurs are 3-6 times more likely to have ADHD than the average person? In this episode, I sit down with Alexandra Powell - architect, construction business owner, university lecturer, and mum. Three years ago, she got her ADHD diagnosis at 37, and it changed everything. We talk about: ✖️ Why so many women go undiagnosed for decades (and how masking symptoms becomes second nature) ✖️ The grief of 'lost time' after getting diagnosed with ADHD later in life ✖️ How ADHD can be your biggest business asset - the vision, risk-taking, and creativity that drives growth ✖️ The flip side - distraction, dopamine chasing, and not finishing what you start ✖️ Systems that actually work: hiring finishers when you're a starter, protecting your energy, structure without rigidity ✖️ How hormones amplify ADHD traits (and planning your month around your cycle) ✖️ Why removing social media notifications and rethinking your digital exposure can help your ADHD ✖️ The importance of vulnerability with your team and surrounding yourself with the right support Throughout the entire episode, Alexandra remains honest and open about the reality of having ADHD as a business owner: "It feels like a firework display is going off in my brain most of the time. And then at the other end of the scale, it can feel completely depleting." But she's also clear about ADHD being a huge asset if leveraged in the right way. It's about working WITH your brain, not against it. Whether you have ADHD, suspect you might, or work with someone who does, this conversation will hopefully give you practical tools and a completely different perspective.
