    When more marketing isn't the answer: the internal work behind external results

    When your business isn’t getting enough leads, clients or traction, it’s easy to assume you need a new strategy, a new platform or a new offer. But what if the real issue isn’t external at all? In this episode of Taking It Personally, let's explore how the common business problems, like inconsistent leads, poor conversions and platform hopping are often external symptoms of internal blocks. Things like self-doubt, indecision, lack of self-trust and an underdeveloped sense of personal leadership shape how you show up, the decisions you make and whether you stick with them long enough to see results. We look at: Why business owners default to tactics instead of examining their approachHow mindset and self-leadership influence consistency, confidence and follow-throughThe hidden cost of constantly changing strategies, platforms or offersWhat it really means to ‘work a strategy until it works’How to make grounded, intentional business decisions without spiralling or self-blame This conversation is not about blaming yourself, fixing your mindset, or ignoring practical skills. It’s about placing power back where it belongs (with you) so that the tools, strategies and platforms you use actually have a chance to work. If you’re tired of chasing the next solution, feeling at the mercy of algorithms or wondering whether you’re doing business ‘wrong,’ this episode will help you see what might actually need your attention. Because sustainable business growth doesn’t start with better tactics. It starts with building yourself as a business owner.

    The hidden costs of growing your business (and how to reduce them)

    As we settle into 2026, this episode invites you to take an honest, objective look at the real cost of not building yourself as a business owner. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, unclear on direction, or unsure why your efforts aren’t converting into consistent clients or income, this conversation will help you understand why and what you can do about it. We explore what building the business owner actually means: strengthening your personal leadership, elevating your mindset, deepening your self-trust and developing the emotional skills that allow you to navigate the fast-moving online business landscape with clarity and confidence. Because YOU are the constant in your business. Everything else changes and evolves. When these internal capacities remain underdeveloped, this has financial, emotional and energetic costs… costs that will accumulate month after month: Missed or inconsistent income due to indecision or unclear focusTime lost to overthinking, second-guessing, Googling and switching approachesEmotional exhaustion driven by self-doubt and inner conflictReduced energy for life outside business due to ongoing mental load We talk through why developing clarity, decisiveness, trust in your own choices and the capacity to handle the ups and downs of business is not optional for sustainable growth, it’s the foundation. You’ll also hear how personal development, mindset work and even spiritual practices can become powerful supports for your stamina, energy, groundedness and resilience as a business owner. Because the cost of staying stuck isn’t just financial, it can affect every part of your life. Join me on the show and let’s talk about it.

    Blending logic, leadership & spirituality for a more powerful 2026

    As you settle into 2026, it’s worth asking this crucial question: How much of your time and energy is going into choosing the ‘right’ platform, the ‘right’ strategy, or the ‘right’ next step in your business And how much is actually going into owning your own authority and wisdom while you take action? If you’ve been second-guessing your decisions, hesitating once you’ve chosen a direction or wondering whether you’re doing the ‘right’ things in your business, this episode is for you. Because overthinking whether you should focus on LinkedIn or Instagram, podcasts or reels, networking or content creation isn’t what determines success. A platform or tactic only becomes effective once the internal foundations are in place, which is why owning your own authority and wisdom as you take action is the priority. In this episode, we explore why your personal leadership (your mindset, emotional steadiness, relationship with your own inner guidance) has a greater impact on your income, visibility, sales and impact than any single strategy or tactic. We’ll look at what happens when you stop searching for external certainty and instead build the capacity to trust your decisions, commit to them and stay grounded when doubt or discomfort arises. I’m also sharing more openly about the intersection of logic and spirituality for me and my business. From intuition and emotional intelligence to the societal conditioning that has distanced many women from their internal authority, we’ll explore why reconnecting with this often-unseen side of leadership can fundamentally change how you show up and what you experience and achieve as a business owner. In this episode we talk about: Why your inner world caps the effectiveness of every strategy you use How intuition and emotional regulation influence the quality of your decisions The hidden impact of societal conditioning on women in business Why spiritual practices aren’t ‘soft’, but stabilising success tools What it actually takes to grow a business from a grounded, self-led place If you’re no longer interested in chasing certainty outside of yourself, and you’re ready to lead your business with clarity, confidence and internal authority, join me for this conversation.

    Getting off the hamster wheel: How to stop overworking and start leading your business

    Are you constantly working on your business but not seeing the growth, clients or momentum you expected? If your to-do list is overflowing, your days are full of ‘doing’ and yet you still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it. In today’s episode, we look at why so many online business owners end up on the hamster wheel of constant work: never-ending tasks, endless marketing ideas, competing online opinions, AI-fuelled pressure to produce more content and gnawing perfectionism that pushes everything onto your list ‘just in case’. Let’s talk about why this isn’t a time-management issue, a productivity issue, or a ‘you’re not disciplined enough’ issue. The real problem is that the wrong things keep landing on your to-do list and the deeper reason behind that is an identity gap between being your business’s worker and being your business’s leader. You’ll learn: Why your list feels never-ending (and why that’s normal in entrepreneurship)The hidden loop that keeps you exhausted: exhaustion → stuckness → low ROI → trying harder → more exhaustionThe difference between busywork and intentional work (and why what’s commonly decried as busywork is necessary too)How perfectionism, online noise and fear of making the wrong decision quietly sabotage progressThe identity shift from worker bee to queen bee (and why this matters more than tactics)Why stepping into your CEO role is essential, even in early stages of businessHow to choose the right actions for your business, rather than reacting to what everyone else says you ‘should’ doThe 5-step BTBO decision-making and leadership framework that helps you get unstuck and move forward with clarityThis is a grounded, practical, mindset-plus-leadership conversation for anyone who wants to grow a sustainable, heart-led online business, without burning out or drowning in tasks. L xo If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start leading your business intentionally… The Build The Business Owner Entrepreneur Training programme is currently on special offer for members of my email list and Leaders of Substance community.
