    EP6: Building a Business That Runs While You Lead

    You've hit 25-30k months and from the outside, you've made it. But inside, you're drowning because every decision still needs you. Your team checks in constantly, clients want you specifically and some projects fly while others drag without you being able to explain why. The problem isn't lack of clients or revenue. It's that you don't actually know what makes your business work well when it does and, as long as that's true, you can't replicate it. This episode is about mastery - capturing what works so your business can deliver quality without needing you in every decision. I walk through three things that change everything: systematising your best processes, creating decision frameworks so your team knows what "good enough" looks like and extracting the hidden expertise already sitting in your team. If you're exhausted from making a thousand micro-decisions that shouldn't need you, this one's for you.

    EP5: How Saying No to Revenue Creates More of It

    It's late January and you're already feeling mentally tired. Your inbox is full, clients are asking for things and despite your best intentions to focus this year, you're still saying yes to everything. Here's what happens when a client asks for something slightly different: "I can do that. And I don't want to lose the sale." So you take it on, tweak the process, create a custom solution. Before you know it, you're running ten different versions of your offer. This episode is about why turning down work is one of the smartest things you can do right now. I walk through a real client running 25k months who cut everything but her core offer. Within three months, her workload dropped 30% while revenue stayed the same. If you're stuck around 30k months despite working harder than ever, you'll want to listen to this one.

    EP4: What Alignment Means In Business & Why It’s So Important

    Your business is working, maybe even thriving, but somehow it doesn’t feel like yours anymore. This episode is about noticing the slow drift that happens when decisions made to survive turn into structures you never intentionally built. This is misalignment. Let’s talk about how to step back, see where your effort is going and decide if it still matches the life you want to be living.

    EP3: It All Starts with This Critical Shift

    Everything feels full. Your calendar. Your head. Your nervous system. When someone says “you need to create more capacity”, it usually lands somewhere between no shit and I’m out. This episode is about what capacity actually means, and why trying to earn it after you’ve pushed harder never works. I talk about creating real breathing space across your time, your cash, and your headspace, and why joy isn’t indulgent here, it’s functional. When your nervous system feels safe, you can think clearly, make braver decisions, and build in a way that’s actually sustainable. No big overhaul. No fixing yourself.Just a calmer, more honest place to start. — Thea

    EP2: The 5 Shifts That Unlock Faster Growth

    For the past three years, I’ve been quietly obsessed with one question: does going slower actually make you go faster? This episode is about what I’ve learned after being forced to stop, and after watching the same pattern play out across dozens of founders and businesses. When growth is pushed on top of shaky foundations, it’s exhausting. Busy, stressful, fragile. But when you pause long enough to rebuild the core properly, growth comes back in a very different way. It’s steadier. Lighter. More sustainable. In this episode, I walk you through the five areas that consistently need attention when a business has stalled. This isn’t about fixing everything today. It’s about seeing the pattern, and understanding why pushing harder might be the very thing keeping you stuck. If the way you’ve been building has stopped working, this is your permission to pause and listen to what the business is asking for next. — Thea.

    EP1: Why I'm Building Faster. Slower.

    This episode is an introduction to Faster. Slower. and why it exists. For years, my default setting was fast. Build quickly. Push harder. Keep things moving. From the outside, it worked. From the inside, it came at a cost I didn’t fully understand until I was forced to stop. What followed was a long period of rebuilding. And then, over the last three years, something deeper happened. As I worked closely with hundreds of founders across different businesses and industries, the same pattern kept showing up again and again. When growth was rushed or forced, things eventually broke. When founders slowed down long enough to rebuild the foundations properly, growth returned in a way that was calmer, faster and far more sustainable. This podcast is my space to explore that pattern with you. It’s about slowing down enough to see what actually matters, so you can move faster in the right direction. About building businesses that scale without burning you out. And about understanding why calm isn’t passive - it’s a competitive advantage. If you’re starting to feel the cracks, or quietly questioning whether the way you’ve been building is the only way, you’re in the right place. — Thea
