    SaltDipped Podcast Episode 19: “I Can’t” Was the Only Thing Stopping Me

    I used to say “I can’t” about butterfly stroke. Turns out, I was mostly just blocking myself. I didn’t get better by wanting it harder. I got better by finding the right coach, breaking the skill into tiny pieces, and spending more time in the water than in my head. That lesson goes way beyond swimming. Sometimes the thing holding us back isn’t the skill—it’s the story we keep repeating about ourselves. In this episode of Salt Dip, we talk about how a limiting story can feel like a fact, and what actually changes when you stop negotiating with it. No overnight breakthroughs. Just the right feedback, smaller pieces, and more reps than rumination. What’s one thing you’ve told yourself you “can’t” do yet? Drop it in the comments. Listen for the nudge you might need. #SaltDipPodcast #SaltDip #MindsetShift #PersonalGrowth #WomenWhoLead #Swimming #ButterflyStroke #SelfTalk #GrowthMindset

    Exploring New Ventures with Björn from Every Task | SaltDipped Podcast

    Join us as we dive into the innovative journey of Björn and his team at Every Task.   In this episode of the Salt Dipped Podcast, Tamsin Haley reconnects with Björn from Every Task to explore the dynamic world of virtual assistance — and what it really takes to start again after you’ve already built a business. 🌊 IN THIS CONVERSATION Björn shares how he went from owning a BNI franchise to helping lead Every Task, a virtual assistant service built for business owners who need to offload admin without losing quality (or sleep).   You’ll hear about: • Why a specialised VA team beats a “do-everything” freelancer • A pricing model that charges by the minute — not the hour — and why that builds trust • How strong systems (and a brilliant business partner) make a second venture possible • The passion behind giving creatives and entrepreneurs their time back • What it takes to be “crazy” enough to build a business… and then do it again 💬 QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE “Every Task was my virtual assistant. It was so easy to transition because the business has grown.” “I would just like to give you your sleep back.” “You want the person who’s a little bit faster because they’re so good at what they do.” — Tamsin “We work really well together. There’s a lot of amazing systems in place.” “It takes crazy people to go, I built a business, let me do this again.” 👤 ABOUT BJÖRN & EVERY TASK Björn Salsone is a marketing and sales specialist and operations partner at Every Task, a global virtual assistant agency founded by Claudia Lowry. After years of building and leading inside BNI, he brought that experience into a business designed to give founders their time back — through specialised support, clear systems, and honest pricing.

    Lessons from the Waves: What My First Surf Comp Taught Me About Business | SaltDipped Podcast

    Discover how Tamsin’s first surf competition revealed lessons that apply just as well in business as they do in the water.   In this solo episode of the Salt Dipped Podcast, Tamsin Haley shares what it was like preparing for her first comp — the nerves, the board decision, the messy middle — and the surprising parallels between surfing and running a business.   🌊 IN THIS EPISODE You’ll hear about: • Why balance on the board is the same as being prepared in business • Pushing through the first 20 minutes of discomfort (in the ocean and at work) • Observing conditions before you paddle — markets, timing, positioning • Choosing waves that are ready… instead of dragging something through the mud • Knowing when to bail on a client, project, or wave that isn’t yours • How a little competition can clean up your performance   💬 QUOTES FROM THE EPISODE “Becoming well balanced, maybe that’s lesson number one.” “There’s always that point that you get to and you’re uncomfortable; then you can push past it and actually enjoy the exercise.” “Just taking the time to observe and test and measure helps us to then determine what’s the best positioning.” “You want to catch something that’s just about ready, not something you’ve had to drag through the mud.” “Sometimes in business we hold on to things slightly too long.” “It was a new competition, it was something new to do… but just that little bit of competition has helped clean up my performance at the end of the day.”   Each wave we ride — in the ocean or in our work — leaves a lesson. This episode is about catching the right ones, letting the wrong ones go, and showing up anyway. 🎙️   ABOUT SALTDIPPED Hosted by Tamsin Haley, SaltDipped is the podcast where life, business, and ocean vibes meet.
