    Ep 18: Intuition, Psychology and Human Design: Wearing Multiple Hats with Tricia Woods

    Ever feel like you're straddling two worlds? Science on one side, gut feeling on the other? This week I'm chatting with Tricia Woods. Tricia is a psychologist AND an intuitive counsellor. She's also an astrologer, human design guide and embodiment coach. Yep, she wears a few hats. We talk about how she came to hold both the evidence-based world and the intuitive one, and why she doesn't think they have to compete. We get into human design (I'm a generator, and I'm still recovering), what perimenopause and menopause can actually open up, and why meditation doesn't require a quiet mind. Tricia also shares her best piece of advice for midlife women, and I'm still thinking about it. If you're curious about something a little different, that you can use in your business and your personal life, this one's for you. In this episode: How Tricia went from psychology to kinesiology to intuitive counselling, and back to psychology againWhy we all have a gut feeling, and why most of us were never taught to trust itHolding an open mind as a psychologist, while working inside clear ethical boundariesHuman design 101: the energy types (manifestor, generator, manifesting generator, projector and reflector) and what they mean for how you workWhy generators wait to respond, and why Bel has no notesAstrology and human design as "manuals" for understanding yourselfTricia's late realisation that she is autistic, and how she shares that publiclyPerimenopause and menopause as a time of growth, confidence and fewer cares to giveLearning to mountain bike at 51Why you don't have to be good at meditation to get the benefitsTricia's wisdom for midlife women: bring your nine-year-old with youSomething to think about: What did you love doing when you were nine? Running, climbing, dancing, making things? What would it look like to bring a little of that back this week?

    Ep 17: Who Young Advocates Become: Tiffany Rochester on Supporting Separating Families, Midlife Courage, and Changing Systems

    Bel sits down with Tiffany Rochester - clinical psychologist and co-parenting coach - for a conversation that covers the family court system, the power of choosing your lane, and why midlife might be exactly the right time to build the thing nobody else is building. Tiff never planned to run a business. But when she looked at how families going through separation were being served - or not being served - she realised the work she wanted to do didn't exist anywhere she could walk into. So she built it. And what she's built is genuinely different. Multidisciplinary teams. Collaborative law processes. A five-week co-parenting intensive grounded in contextual behavioural science. And a very clear hell yes criteria for every single person in her orbit. This one is warm, honest, and full of the kind of wisdom that only comes from someone who has been in the room for a long time and has the courage to say the things that need to be said. In this episode: Why unhealthy relationships can end in healthy ways - and what it actually takes to get thereHow collaborative law brings lawyers, financial advisors, and psychologists to the same table (and why that changes the entire experience for families)What happens when only one parent does the work - and why it can still shift things for the whole familyThe hell yes rule Tiff applies to everyone in her business - clients, accountants, bookkeepers, the lotWhat a business coach showed her that she couldn't see herself, and why she thought she was thinking big enoughAI as tech support, not ghost-writer - and why neither of us is handing over our voiceWhat it looks like to go from organising a school strike at 17 to presenting at international conferences in midlifeThe piece of advice that gave Tiff permission to choose her lane - and stop trying to carry every cause at onceSomething to sit with: Where in your business or your life are you still trying to do all the things? And what would it actually feel like to choose?

    Ep 16: Mindset is Essential Business Strategy - Yes I said it.

    Mindset as Business Strategy - Yes, Really If someone told you that mindset matters more to your business than your marketing knowledge or your accounting skills, would you believe it? Belinda would. She does. And this episode is her making the case for it. This one came out of a conversation with her launch coach, who asked a completely fair question: why would someone look at mindset and connect it to business strategy? Belinda's answer was simple. Mindset is the strategy. Everything else sits on top of it. In this episode Belinda digs into what mindset actually is, why applied mindset is where the real work happens, and how a model from systems thinker Donella Meadows helps explain exactly why changing what you see in your business starts way further down than most people think. In this episode: What mindset actually is - and why the label is just a shortcut to a way of thinking or respondingCarol Dweck's growth vs fixed mindset framework and why it matters in a business contextThe Reddit thread that stopped Belinda in her tracks - and what the comments revealed about collective beliefs around businessWhy a return to NGO life reminded her exactly why she loves being her own bossAdam Grant's research from Hidden Potential on character skills vs cognitive skills - and the finding that stopped her coldThe Donella Meadows iceberg model, applied to business: what sits above the waterline, what's underneath it, and why the mindset layer drives all of itA real example of shifting from fixed to growth mindset around email boundaries - and what actually changed as a resultNeuroplasticity and the fact that you are not stuck - your brain can and does rewireSomething to sit with this week: What mindset are you currently holding about your business - and what is it costing you?

    Episode 15: Why I had to step away - and what I learned from it.

    Episode Description Bel's back. And this episode isn't a regular one. There's no framework, no tips, no guest. Instead? An honest conversation about what happened when life stopped and what six weeks away from the business revealed. In late July, Bel's son had a serious accident. She stepped back, pivoted into mum mode, and let the newsletter, the podcast, and a planned mentorship launch wait. What she didn't expect was how much clarity and gratitude would come out of that experience, not just for her son's recovery, but for the way her business was able to hold when she couldn't. This one's for every woman in business who's wondered whether the flexibility is worth the chaos of doing it all yourself. Sometimes it really is. In this episode: Why Bel went quiet - and what her therapist described as "the moment the world stopped"The decision to delay her mentorship launch and why she has zero regrets about thatWhat being a solopreneur actually looked like in a crisis - an instand pivot that didn't involve forms or excuses - or phone calls. The grief, the distraction, the avoidance  - and the slower than expected return to business modeWhy entrepreneurship isn't the easy path, but sometimes it's exactly the right oneGratitude as a landing place after six weeks of chaosReflection Question If your world stopped tomorrow, how would your business hold up? And what would that tell you about the way you've built it? Enjoying the podcast? Subscribe on Spotify or Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode — and if it resonated, leave a review.

    Episode 14: Aligned or Just Exhausted? What Your Business Is Trying to Tell You

    Something feeling off in your business? Not dramatically broken, just... ick? That feeling might be misalignment doing its thing. In this episode, Belinda unpacks what alignment and misalignment actually look like in practice, walking through five signs your business is out of sync and five signs it's working the way it should. If your messaging feels wobbly, your decisions feel hard, or you're tired in a way that doesn't quite add up, this one's worth a listen. In this episode: What alignment actually means in business terms, and why it comes down to your why, your how, and your whatWhy "ick" is a legitimate signal worth paying attention toFive misalignment cues: inconsistent messaging, inauthenticity and copying others, attracting the wrong clients, stop-start energy, and plain old exhaustionThe IBM vs Apple story and what it teaches us about trying to be someone else's businessFive alignment cues: clear and consistent marketing, easier decisions, sustainable momentum, a business ecosystem that makes sense, and growth that feels expansive rather than terrifyingWhy saying no to an opportunity can be the most aligned choice you makeHow alignment and misalignment show up beyond business, in friendships, careers, and everyday lifeReflection question: Where in your business or your life does alignment feel present right now, and where does it feel like something's missing?

    Episode 13: The Jacket That No Longer Fits: On Holding On and Letting Go in Business

    What's the cost of staying where you are? Not just financially. The real cost. The energy cost. The quiet toll of holding onto something that no longer fits. In this episode, Bel gets into something that comes up again and again in conversations with women in business - that niggling sense that things have shifted, but the reluctance to actually do anything about it. Whether it's a job, a relationship, a business, or an actual jacket in the back of the wardrobe that you refuse to part with. We humans don't like change. We'll sit in discomfort far longer than is good for us. And for female founders especially, the attachment runs deep - because the business was built from the heart, not just the spreadsheet. In this episode, Bel covers: Why we stay in situations that no longer serve us - and what that's actually costing usThe jacket story (you'll understand when you hear it)The difference between the business that fit the version of you back then, and the business you need nowWhat it looks like when female founders talk about impact over income - and why that mattersThe "Drains Me / Nourishes Me" activity you can do today with a piece of paper and a penWhy Bel puts a date on that piece of paper - and why you should tooReflection question: What are you holding onto right now that no longer fits - and what is it actually costing you to keep it? Hit play on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and if something landed for you, Bel would love to hear about it.

    Episode 12: From Choir Camp to Business Strategy: Not the Tale You Expected

    What does choir camp have to do with business strategy? More than you'd think. In this episode, Bel shares what happened when she stepped well outside her comfort zone and joined Soul Song Choirs earlier this year. As a self-described non-singer who didn't even make it through high school musical auditions, spending a weekend at choir camp was, by her own admission, an experience times ten. But somewhere between the harmonies and the clapping at the wrong moment, two business insights landed hard. The first is about age. One of the things that struck Bel most at camp was how impossible it was to guess anyone's age. In a room full of women spanning 40 to 70, nobody was sitting on the sidelines waiting for permission. And if you've ever caught yourself thinking "why would I start that now?" or "isn't it a bit late for me to be doing this?" - this one's for you. The second is about doing the thing that scares you. Whether it's showing up on social media, launching a podcast, pivoting your business, or creating a new program - most of us know the fear. We also know we've survived harder things. Bel talks about why Gen X women in particular have more proof of their adaptability than they give themselves credit for, and how that matters more than most of us realise. This episode is also an honest reflection on what it feels like to be in a business that no longer fits. If you've built something that made sense for your 30-year-old self but feels misaligned now, you're not alone, and you're not stuck. In this episode: Why Bel joined a community choir (and what that has to do with you)The age thing - why it's a mindset issue, not a timing issueDoing scary things: social media, podcasting, pivoting, and starting freshThe question Bel asks herself instead of "what if it doesn't work?"Why Gen X women have more proof of their resilience than they realiseThe question worth sitting with this week: What would it feel like to be in a business that is actually aligned with who you are right now?
