    Building a Sustainable Business That Fits You, with Rebecca Rae-Hodgson

    New Healthy Business Lab Podcast episode now live. In this episode I sat down with Rebecca Rae-Hodgson from Chronic Resilience OT for a conversation that felt incredibly honest and refreshingly real. Rebecca openly shared her journey of navigating neurodivergence, chronic illness, burnout, and ultimately redesigning her business to better fit her life, energy, and capacity. One of the biggest takeaways for me was this idea: Sometimes sustainability in business means saying no. No to ways of working that no longer fit. No to expectations that aren’t serving you. No to trying to force yourself into systems that were never designed for you in the first place. We also explored: financial stability and confidence in decision-makingbuilding a business around capacityexperimenting with on-demand and hybrid modelsmaking the invisible visibleand becoming more unapologetically yourself Lots of value in this one for anyone trying to build a business that feels sustainable long term. Really appreciated Rebecca sharing so openly.

    Care, Connection & Growth: Building Closer Care with Alineh Agon

    New Healthy Business Lab Podcast episode now live. This week I sat down with Alineh Agon from Closer Care for a conversation around care, connection, leadership, and sustainable growth in the disability sector. After 13 years working across disability and mental health services, Alineh saw a recurring gap: many clients were receiving support, but still feeling disconnected. That observation shaped the way she built Closer Care: a more relationship-based, holistic approach focused on genuine human connection rather than simply completing tasks. We also explored: building a values-aligned teamleadership growth as a business ownerbalancing systems with human-centred carethe importance of investing in yourself as the business evolvesand how sustainable businesses are often built through continuous learning and refinement Lots of thoughtful insights in this one for anyone building a people-focused business. Really appreciated Alineh sharing so openly throughout the conversation. #HealthyBusinessLab #DisabilitySupport #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #MentalHealth #AlliedHealth #PurposeDrivenBusiness Connect With Us Website: https://thehealthybusinesslab.com/podcast/ LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/company/the-healthy-business-lab YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thehealthybusinesslab/podcasts Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thehealthybusinesslab Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehealthybusinesslab/ Connect with Alineh Agon Personal Website: https://alinehagon.com.au/  Business Website: https://closercare.com.au/  LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/alineh-agon-083931276/
