    Ep 562: Escaping The Scramble Cycle So You Can Finish What You Start

    Do you ever notice yourself jumping from one project to the next - always busy but rarely feeling complete? In this episode, I share a story about one of my 1:1 clients that perfectly captures what I call the Scramble Cycle. It's that perfectionist pattern of getting something 80% done, hitting a snag or losing momentum and then rushing off to the next thing that suddenly feels more urgent. You'll hear how my client was caught in the Scramble Cycle and what became possible once I pointed out the pattern. I also talk about how this pattern shows up for perfectionist entrepreneurs in subtle ways: when we avoid the final steps, procrastinate on tech setup or abandon an almost-finished project because it feels safer to stay "in progress" than to feel exposed by completing it. If you've ever found yourself constantly scrambling, always behind and never quite finished, this episode will help you see exactly why that happens - and what to do differently so you can finally feel on top of things again.

    Ep 561: How I Started Paying Myself A Consistent Salary From My Business

    I used to treat paying myself like a nice-to-have. In this episode I share the behind-the-scenes of how that thinking kept my business feeling like a hobby even when I was working so hard on it.  You'll hear the messy middle too – why I changed jobs so I could have more time for my business without more financial pressure, the vague "replace my income" goal that didn't help me make more money and the moment I created some positive pressure that quietly changed everything.  If you've been waiting for a big cash month to finally be able to start paying yourself consistently, this will offer a different way forward.

    Ep 560: Connection First, Strategy Second

    I wasn't planning to record this episode - it was one of those moments where I just had to pick up the mic and talk. Something clicked for me recently and it made so many things in my business and life suddenly make sense in a way they never had before. It's one of those shifts that once you see it, you can't unsee it. In this episode, I share the story behind that realisation - what led up to it, what I noticed about the way I'd been working and thinking and how it's been quietly shaping my results for years without me realising. If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things but still not feeling fulfilled or inspired by your business, this is going to resonate deeply. I talk about what I discovered during my Weekly Review that changed how I look at my habits, my relationships and my goals. It's something that's been right under my nose for years - and yet it's completely shifted how I plan, create and show up. If you've been feeling a little disconnected, overthinking your next move or trying to get everything perfect before you take action, this conversation will help you see things in a totally new light.

    Ep 557: How I Realised I'm A Perfectionist (best of the podcast)

    I used to think I wasn't perfect enough to be a perfectionist. And because I didn't realise I was a perfectionist, I had no real way to start overcoming the procrastination, crippling self-doubt and overthinking that was keeping me and my business stuck.  Realising that I'm a perfectionist (and what that actually means) gave me a whole new vocabulary that has allowed me to change my life for the better – because it's only when you realise you're a perfectionist that you become empowered to overcome perfectionism. In this episode, I'm opening up about my journey with perfectionism and the important points along the way. I can't remember everything but I hope that what I share in this episode helps you understand yourself a little bit more.

    Ep 555: Untying Your Hands From Behind Your Back (best of the podcast)

    This is an episode I've referenced countless times since it was first published. It shares such an important lesson for all entrepreneurs, especially those who have been getting in their own way, that I had to share it again. In this episode I'm helping you explore the areas in your business where you feel like you have your hands tied behind your back. These are the areas in your business where you have a deep desire to take action but aren't letting yourself - either because of a past decision you made, a rule you unconsciously adopted or an expectation you're placing on yourself.  Then I'm walking you through how to untie your hands from behind your back, update your decisions and let yourself freely create.
