    The episode that nearly didn't happen...

    The episode that nearly didn't happen... Season 12, Episode 98: Show Up and Be Heard Today’s episode of the podcast is a solo episode about what happens when life gets in the way and you simply don’t have the capacity to make everything happen. I’m sharing why I nearly didn’t have an episode this week, what happened when I unexpectedly had to take a week off, and why I decided that the simplest thing to do was just be honest. I also talk about batching, what happens when the things that normally make your business easier become too much, and why not having your shit together doesn’t make you any less professional or good at what you do. Because sometimes life happens, things don’t go to plan, and you just have to work with what you’ve got. If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

    How to set boundaries in business that actually work, without the guilt Season 12, Episode 97: Show Up and Be Heard Today’s episode of the podcast is all about setting boundaries in your business without turning them into another set of rigid rules you feel like you’re failing at. I’m talking about why boundaries need to work around your actual life, why it’s okay for them to change as your capacity changes, and how to deal with the guilt that can come with saying no, switching off or putting yourself first. BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN: Why boundaries don’t have to look a certain wayWhy feeling guilty doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrongHow to recognise when your boundaries need to change If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

    The numbers that actually matter in business (and the ones that really don't)

    The numbers that actually matter in business (and the ones that really don't) Season 12, Episode 96: Show Up and Be Heard Today’s episode of the podcast is a solo episode all about the numbers we attach meaning to in business, from 10k months and six figure turnovers to Instagram followers and email subscribers. I’m talking about why bigger doesn’t automatically mean better, how to tell whether a goal is actually useful to you, and why we need to stop measuring things simply because they’re easy to count. I also share some honest examples from my own business, including why I’m deliberately making my email list smaller after years of wanting to reach a particular number, and what actually happened when I more than doubled my income. BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN: What might be hiding underneath the number you think you wantWhy your numbers should be information, not a judgementHow to measure what actually matters to you If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

    How to create your own definition of success and stop caring what other people think, with Emmelie Coulson

    How to create your own definition of success and stop caring what other people think, with Emmelie Coulson Season 12, Episode 95: Show Up and Be Heard In this episode, I chat to Emmelie Coulson about redefining success on your own terms, balancing ambition with the things that matter most, and questioning the pressure to constantly grow. We talk about family, flexibility, money, sacrifice, social media, the “you can have it all” narrative, and why sometimes you need to try things for yourself before you know whether they’re actually right for you. Most importantly, we talk about giving yourself permission to decide what a successful life looks like for you, even if it doesn’t look particularly impressive to anyone else. If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!

    How to have a more intentional and lower pressure September

    How to have a more intentional and lower pressure September Season 12, Episode 94: Show Up and Be Heard In this episode, I’m talking about why I’m taking a very different approach to September this year, including the changes I’ve made in my own business, why I’m deliberately not rushing into the next thing, and what I’ve learned from closing something that had been a huge part of my business for the last three years. We’ll also talk about why changing direction doesn’t mean you’ve failed, why consistency doesn’t mean doing the same thing forever, and how taking a pause can sometimes be the most sensible and sustainable business decision you can make. BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN: Why you don’t need to treat September like a second January or use it as an excuse to overhaul your entire business and life.How to recognise when something is no longer right for you without seeing changing direction as giving up or failing.Why taking the next right step, rather than the biggest or most impressive step, can help you build a business that actually works for your life.

    Why consistency has been sold to us all wrong

    Why consistency has been sold to us all wrong Season 11, Episode 92: Show Up and Be Heard For years, we've been told that consistency is the key to growing a business. But somewhere along the way, consistency stopped meaning showing up in a similar way over time and started meaning posting every day, always being visible, and never taking a step back. In this episode, I'm unpacking why I think consistency has been badly sold to us, why it feels so hard for so many business owners, and how we can start thinking about it in a way that actually reflects real life. I'll share three simple mindset shifts to help you create a version of consistency that feels sustainable, works with your capacity, and supports your business without taking over your life. If consistency has ever felt like another thing you're failing at, I hope this episode helps you let go of some of that pressure and reminds you that your business should fit around your life, not the other way round. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd love it if you'd share it with another business owner who could do with hearing it too. And if you haven't already, don't forget to follow the podcast so you never miss a future episode.
