    102: What No One Tells Women in Business but We Will | Talia, Sinead & Jess

    What really happens behind the scenes of building a million-dollar online business… while navigating motherhood, grief, identity shifts, loss, and becoming the woman your next level requires? In this episode of Rich Bish Era, I sat down with two of my closest friends in business Sinead J Krelle and Talia Di Guilio - women who have walked alongside me for over eight years - for one of the rawest, most honest, and powerful conversations I’ve had on the podcast. We recorded this in Bali, the day before I led a transformational retreat for the leaders inside Wildly Empowered Collective in Canggu, an experience that deeply moved me and reminded me just how much growth, courage, and self-leadership this journey really asks of us. This conversation goes far beyond business. We unpack the unseen realities of entrepreneurship, the identity shifts that come with success, and the moments that shape you as a woman and a leader - from divorce, miscarriage, debt, burnout, grief, friendship heartbreak, and rebuilding from the ground up… to creating wealth, freedom, sisterhood, and a life that feels deeply aligned. In this episode, we dive into: ✨ The truth about network marketing and building online✨ What it actually takes to create freedom, wealth, and impact on your own terms✨ The identity shifts required to hold bigger money, leadership, and success✨ Navigating grief, loss, and life’s hardest seasons while still leading✨ Friendship breakdowns and rebuilding your self esteem and learning to trust yourself again✨ Motherhood, ambition, and building a business without losing yourself✨ The power of sisterhood, community, and being deeply seen✨ The confidence, resilience, and self-worth entrepreneurship forces you to build This isn’t the polished highlight reel.This is the conversation behind the scenes...the one most people aren’t willing to have. If you’ve ever felt yourself outgrowing old versions of you while building something bigger… questioned the traditional path… or felt called to create more freedom, wealth, and impact for your family - this episode will land differently. Part one is raw, emotional, empowering… and honestly, we only scratched the surface. Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Rich Bitch Era 02:09 The Journey from Corporate to Network Marketing 05:56 Understanding Passive Income and Its Importance 14:20 The Reality of Growth and Comparison in Business 22:54 Navigating Life's Challenges While Building a Business 28:22 The Importance of Communication in Relationships 32:25 Emotional Growth and Self-Responsibility 36:06 Heartbreak in Female Friendships 42:03 The Challenges of Motherhood and Business 49:01 Building a Supportive Community as a Mom 53:02 Choosing Between Business and Family Responsibilities Part Two will drop Monday 25th March.

    100: Mindset & Ads: The Real Reason Your Business Isn’t Scaling

    What if the reason your business feels heavy isn’t because you need to do more — but because you’re doing too much of the wrong things? In this solo episode of The Rich Bish Era, I break down the two areas I’ve chosen to go all in on this year: MINSERT AND ADS. And no, it’s not because they’re trendy. It’s because they’re the two things that actually create sustainable growth when you stop performing productivity and start building with intention. I unpack why so many ambitious women stay stuck in overwhelm, how limiting beliefs sabotage even the best strategy, and why focusing on fewer things is often the fastest path to more sales, more scale, and a much calmer nervous system. I also share the exact thinking behind my current ads strategy, how trial reels inform what converts, and why your dream business requires both feminine flow and masculine structure. This episode explores:  Why doing less can produce better results  The mindset patterns that quietly block growth How to identify the story you’re attaching to setbacks  Why strategy only works when your nervous system can hold the result  How I’m using trial reels to test winning ad creatives  The difference between top, middle, and bottom of funnel content  Why hooks matter more than almost anything in marketing  How to build a business that scales without burning you out  Why your inbox is one of the best places to find messaging that converts  The truth about “being in your feminine” without structure behind it This is the episode for the woman who is done confusing busyness with progress — and is ready to build a business that is focused, profitable, and actually sustainable. Press play now! Episode Highlights: 01:46 – Why being “busy” can be the biggest distraction from actual growth 04:32 – The self-control ambitious women really need: knowing what not to do 08:55 – The “event vs story” mindset shift that changes everything 11:33 – What rejection in business actually means — and what it absolutely does not 14:07 – The question that reveals why you may not truly feel safe having what you want 16:24 – The journaling prompts that can reveal what’s really holding you back 17:11 – How trial reels became a smarter ads strategy 18:37 – The reel-testing method that helps you find what actually works 19:21 – Why hooks are one of the most valuable skills in marketing 22:30 – What “good” content performance actually means 24:38 – Top, middle, and bottom of funnel explained simply 27:29 – Why people need more time with your content before they buy 30:20 – Your inbox might be the best messaging coach you’ve got 31:43 – Why vague content gets ignored — and specific content converts 35:48 – The myth of feminine business without masculine structure 36:30 – Why ads are easier to scale than time 40:56 – How clarity on your dream business makes saying no so much easier 43:19 – “Give yourself a goddamn break, sister” 44:02 – The artist analogy for unfinished ideas, scattered energy, and stalled momentum 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast 🔗 Follow me on Instagram ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@jessicazalums⁠⁠ 📬 Share your reflections or questions via DM: ⁠⁠⁠@richbishera⁠⁠⁠ 👩‍💻Join the Rich Bish Academy on Skool: https://www.skool.com/richbishacademy/about?ref=11702c84d87d4ef1a685abe8a1c5eca4

    What does it really take to go from a $200 idea to a multi-million dollar brand… without losing yourself along the way? In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I sit down with Kirstin-Lee (Kiki) Keysers, founder of KIVARI — one of Australia’s leading fashion and lifestyle brands — to unpack the real mindset behind building a business that scales. From starting at market stalls and hand-pressing her own designs to now running 14 boutiques, Kiki shares the pivotal decisions, identity shifts, and bold moves that changed everything. We are not just talking about business growth — We’re also talking about worthiness, backing yourself, and learning how to hold more… money, success, and freedom. We dive into the power of choosing action over perfection, the uncomfortable truth about scaling, and why your business will never outgrow the mindset of the woman leading it. Kiki also opens up about the personal challenges she faced behind the scenes, and how she continued to build through grief, motherhood, and moments of doubt. In this episode, we explore:  Why your business will never outgrow your mindsetThe power of defaulting to action instead of waiting for perfectionThe “two-way door” decision framework for taking smarter risksHow scarcity and worthiness blocks can silently cap your successWhy investing in yourself is the highest ROI move you can makeThe identity shift required to scale beyond your current levelLetting go to grow: how and when to start outsourcingWhy hiring earlier could accelerate your growthThe reality of building a brand through grief, motherhood, and life challengesHow bold moves (even during uncertain times) can define your successThe truth about “freedom” and why most founders lose it along the wayBuilding a brand that reflects your lifestyle, values, and visionThe importance of community and creating real-life connections with your audienceWhat wealthy women do differently when it comes to decisions and standardsIf you’re someone who knows you’re meant for more, this episode will expand what you believe is possible.

    98: Stop Romanticising Burnout: Why Fun Is Not the Enemy of Ambition

    What if joy wasn’t something you earned after success — but the very thing that creates it? In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, the roles reverse as I step into the guest seat and am interviewed by Jess Masion. In a grounded and deeply reflective conversation, I unpack what it truly means to redefine success as an ambitious woman — and why fun, pleasure, and nervous-system regulation are not indulgences, but essential foundations for sustainable wealth, leadership, and fulfilment. I reflect on being labelled a “party girl” early in life, navigating ambition without burnout, motherhood without self-erasure, and how prioritising joy has consistently coincided with her greatest personal and financial growth. This episode explores: Why ambitious women are often shamed for enjoying lifeThe false narrative that motherhood signals the end of fun and freedomHow joy and pleasure directly influence leadership, creativity, and incomeThe difference between understanding concepts and truly living themWhy asking for support is a strength, not a failureHow regulated energy leads to clearer decisions, stronger content, and better results This is a conversation for women who are done equating seriousness with success — and are ready to build lives that feel as good as they look. — press play now! Episode Highlights: 01:33 – The “fun, flirty, magnetic” side women are taught to suppress 03:00 – Being labelled a “party girl”… and still outperforming 04:42 – Why ambition and enjoyment are not opposites 05:28 – The magnetism of women who are genuinely happy 10:18 – How fun reconnects you to your identity 13:47 – Burnout as a consequence of constant seriousness 13:59 – Practical ways to prioritise fun when life is full 15:13 – Friendship as nervous system regulation 16:37 – What ambitious women need to hear (clearly) 17:21 – Why joyful content always lands better 17:58 – “I forgot I was allowed to enjoy myself” — retreat insight 19:36 – Why Jessica’s biggest income months came from her happiest seasons 24:14 – Asking for support and receiving it well 30:47 – The myth of identity loss after becoming a mum 32:51 – Why joy ages you better than hustle 33:00 – A new era: lighter, richer, more fulfilled 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast 🔗 Follow me on Instagram ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠@jessicazalums⁠⁠ 📬 Share your reflections or questions via DM: ⁠⁠@richbishera⁠⁠ 👩‍💻Join the Rich Bish Academy on Skool: https://www.skool.com/richbishacademy/about?ref=11702c84d87d4ef1a685abe8a1c5eca4

    97: The Standards That Create Wealth, Confidence & Influence with Renée Warren

    Rich girl energy isn’t about luxury — it’s about self-trust, standards, and identity. In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I sit down with award-winning entrepreneur, angel investor, and Pink Skirt Project founder Renée Warren for a grounded, intelligent, and refreshingly honest conversation about wealth, confidence, and becoming the woman who can actually hold more. This episode explores: Why confidence is built through action, not mindset hacksHow money shame quietly limits ambitious womenThe identity upgrades required to earn, receive, and expand wealthWhy women shrink themselves to stay palatable — and how to stopWhat “rich girl energy” really looks like in real life This is not performative empowerment. It’s leadership, self-responsibility, and choosing growth — even when it’s uncomfortable.

    96: Your New Business Kinks: Rejection + Failure - Learning to Accept both

    In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I am sharing a very embodied around of wisdom for me after 13 years of a LOT of experience in these areas. They are rarely taught but essential (and inevitable) for long-term growth: failure, rejection, and a clear, unwavering vision. Drawing inspiration from a recent industry panel I attended and my own business experience, this conversation dives into why many people are taught how to succeed - but not how to fail - and how this gap often leads to hesitation, self-doubt, and stalled momentum. Throughout the episode, I cover: Why failure is a necessary part of mastery and growthThe importance of practicing progress rather than rehearsing perfectionHow emotional assumptions can distort rejectionWhy follow-up and persistence are leadership skillsThe role of belief and long-term vision in overcoming obstaclesThis episode is for anyone building a business, career, or personal vision who wants to develop resilience, clarity, and forward momentum. Tune in now! Episode Highlights: 01:00 – Why we’re harder on ourselves than we would be on others 02:30 – Why success is taught, but failure is not 03:27 – Practicing vs rehearsing: how growth actually happens 08:00 – Separating facts from assumptions in rejection 12:30 – Emotional attachment and its impact on decision-making 16:00 – The importance of belief and long-term vision 20:00 – Why following up is not rejection 2 3:48 – The cost of delaying commitment 24:30 – Why your vision matters more than external opinions 27:00 – Support, education, and next steps 🎧 Subscribe to the podcast 🔗 Follow me on Instagram  @jessicazalums 📬 Share your reflections or questions via DM: @richbishera 👩‍💻Join the Rich Bish Academy on Skool: https://www.skool.com/richbishacademy/about?ref=11702c84d87d4ef1a685abe8a1c5eca4
