  1. How She Made $1,500 Before 2PM (And Still Did School Pick-Up)

    How She Made $1,500 Before 2PM (And Still Did School Pick-Up)

    What if success isn’t about doing more… But about choosing less? In this episode of The Moxie Movement, I’m sitting down with Erika Clarkson — Melbourne artist, mum of two, and Done By Three Club member. Who went from breastfeeding with 47 business ideas and zero focus… to earning $1,500 before 2pm drawing on shop windows. And still making school pick up. This is the real story of what happens when you stop glorifying hustle, start asking what you actually want, and build a business that fits your life. Not “overnight success.” Just consistent action, brave decisions, and a whole lot of belief shifts. In this episode, you’ll learn:✔ Why having “too many ideas” is actually fear in disguise ✔ The lie about success that keeps women stuck ✔ How scheduling her time changed Erika’s income and her nervous system ✔ The mindset shift that helped her stop undervaluing her work ✔ Why consistent action beats big bursts of motivation ✔ How she went from reactive chaos to calm, aligned growth ✔ What it really looks like to earn well and still be present at school pick up The Belief Shift After being knocked back for a big job, Erika found herself crying and questioning everything. Not because she wasn’t capable but because her entire sense of success was tied to someone else saying yes. That had to change. For years she believed success was for “other people.” Not for someone sensitive. Or with ADHD tendencies. Or with a brain that moves fast. Sound familiar? She had to drop the belief that success wasn’t for her and replace it with one simple truth: You have to believe you can do it before you’ll take the steps. The system that changed everything. Scheduling. Not a colour-coded Pinterest fantasy. Actual time ownership. Instead of walking into her office asking “What should I do today?” She decided in advance. She schedules: SalesLife adminDate nightSelf-care FridaySchool pickup space And she deleted her to-do list. That shift alone moved her from reactive to proactive, from overwhelmed to aligned. The money shift. Erika stopped: Overdelivering for freeTaking whatever paidHoarding money in the business account “for safety” And started: Valuing her timeCharging for the extra milePaying herself properly Now? She’s had $1,500 days finishing at 2pm. Drawing koalas in Christmas hats on shop windows. (Yes, the police once stopped her to check she was “sanctioned.” 😂) The biggest truth in here? You can have it all. You just can’t do it all at once. And you don’t need to sacrifice being a mum to make serious money. Erika earned well last year and still made 80–90% of school pickups. That’s what alignment looks like. Your next stepIf this episode hit home: 🎧 Make sure you subscribe to The Moxie...

  2. The Delegation Anxiety Fix: How to Stop Hoarding Tasks and Start Leading

    The Delegation Anxiety Fix: How to Stop Hoarding Tasks and Start Leading

    If you’re an overwhelmed business owner who says she wants help… but still struggles with delegation anxiety, this episode is for you. Because task hoarding in small business doesn’t look dramatic. It looks like: Doing payroll from a hospital bed. Working when you’re sick because “no one else can do it properly.” Redoing your team’s work at 10pm. Micromanaging because it feels safer. This isn’t about being bad at leadership. This is about identity, control, and learning how to delegate without losing control. And for female entrepreneurs — especially mums running businesses — this pattern is incredibly common. In this episode, you’ll learn:✔ Why delegation anxiety in small business isn’t a character flaw ✔ The identity shift from “doer” to CEO leadership ✔ How to delegate in your small business without micromanaging ✔ The 80% rule of delegation (and why it unlocks momentum) ✔ How to choose low-risk tasks to delegate first ✔ Why business growth without burnout requires backup The Real Cost of Not DelegatingWhen you stop delegating because it feels uncomfortable, you create: A business that only works when you’re workingConstant mental loadNo backup during school holidays or sicknessBurnout disguised as “high standards” Being indispensable feels powerful. Until you realise it means you can’t step away. If your nervous system goes into fight-or-flight every time life happens, that’s not a systems problem. That’s a delegation problem. The 80% Rule of DelegationHere’s the shift: Delegation isn’t about someone doing it your way. It’s about someone doing it well enough so you don’t have to. 80% done by someone else is more powerful than 100% done by you. Because leadership in small business isn’t execution anymore, it’s direction. If you want to scale your business without burnout, you must move from task hoarder to leader. Where to Start Delegating (Without Panicking)If you’re wondering how to delegate in your business without blowing it up: Start with low-risk tasks. Admin. Accounts. Repetitive prep work. Follow-ups. If the business won’t collapse if it’s done imperfectly, it’s safe to hand over. And instead of micromanaging steps, define outcomes: “What does done look like?” Clarity reduces anxiety for you and for them.

    Golden Handcuffs: Why Your “Successful” Business Is Making You Exhausted

    You did the thing, built the business and money’s coming in. So why does it feel like you can’t breathe? If you’ve got a business that looks successful from the outside paying you well, serving clients, ticking the “should be grateful” boxes but you can’t switch off, can’t step away, and can’t imagine a holiday without your laptop… this one is for you. In this episode, I’m unpacking what I call the golden handcuffs. When your business pays you just enough to keep you trapped, but not enough to buy back your time, energy, or thinking space. This isn’t a personal failing, it’s a structure problem. In this episode, you’ll learn:✔ Why successful businesses can feel heavier instead of easier ✔ How capable women accidentally build businesses that rely on them for everything ✔ The 3 signs your business is leaning on you too hard ✔ Why making more money won’t fix your exhaustion ✔ The difference between being a paid doer vs a true business owner ✔ A simple audit to spot where you’re handcuffed to your business We get into:The “well-paid job” trap that keeps you permanently onWhy being the main sales generator keeps you stuckHow becoming the default problem solver drains your brainWhat happens when your role doesn’t evolve as your business growsWhy structure creates relief not revenue aloneHow to start redesigning your business without burning it down If you’ve ever thought: “I should be grateful… so why am I this tired?” Then your business just needs a different architecture. 👉 Ready for your next step?Subscribe or follow The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss future episodes.

    Back to School, Back to Business: How Mum Business Owners Stop Carrying All the Load

    Back to school. Back to business. Back to carrying everything… again? If you’re a mum running a business, this season probably feels familiar. Uniforms. Stationery chaos. Permission slips.

    You’re Not Behind: Why January Feels Hard for Mum Business Owners

    That Behind Feeling? Let’s Talk About It. Ever feel like everyone else has kicked into full work mode…while you’re still juggling kids, snacks, uniforms, camps, activities, and a half-working brain? That tight chest a sprinkle of low-grade panic. That rather annoying thought loop of “I should be further ahead by now.” This episode is your permission slip to stop beating yourself up. Because that “behind” feeling? It’s not a sign you are failing or lazy and I promise it’s not a personal flaw. It’s a split-season of capacity and once you see it clearly, everything changes. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why feeling behind is a feeling, not a fact How shame sneaks in when we compare mismatched seasons What “split attention season” actually means for mums in business Why focus follows capacity (not the other way around) How to use January for preparation, not pressure What phased momentum looks like for real-life business owners Simple ways to calm the comparison spiral and reclaim your energy What we cover in this episode Why January is not the starting line we think it is The emotional sabotage of comparing yourself to people with totally different realities How to plan now so execution feels lighter (and faster) later Using low-brain tasks and idea parking to protect your future self Choosing calm instead of letting the internet dictate your pace Setting a clear restart date so you can stop feeling “in limbo” Your reminder (because it matters): You are not late. There is no race. And there is no universal start line. You’re not behind; you're in a split season of capacity. And once you plan for that, everything feels lighter. 👉 Ready for your next step? ✔ Subscribe / Follow The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next ✔ Follow us on Instagram & Facebook — and submit a question for an upcoming episode You don’t need to push harder.

January is not supposed to be a stick to beat yourself with. For us it’s supposed to be a time to gently reenter, not reinvent.
