Audacity: The Authentic Entrepreneur Podcast

I see so many brave, audacious incredible women – women who have felt the calling and have been courageous enough to launch their own business…  

I see them holding back and playing small. 

Yes, of setting big goals, and taking action to meet them. 

But then not quite getting there, and falling short, and then beating themselves up and concluding that it must be them that’s the problem. 

And feeling frustrated, and like a fraud. 

If this is you I have a really special message in this week’s podcast episode. I’m going to share the top 10 reasons WHY female entrepreneurs hold back. 

Share the game-changing mindset shift – will change everything. Really empowering. 

Then going to share what you can do about it – if sick of playing small, and want to end 2024 on a total high 

Enjoy the episode, and let me know what you think! 

This is for you if:

In your heart of hearts you know you’re playing small, and just scratching at the surface of your potential as a female entrepreneur

You look like you’ve made it on paper, but your so-called success rings hollow - because deep down you know you’re holding yourself back and showing up in your business as a pale imitation of all you could be.

You’re sick and tired of so-so results, when your soul is screaming out for more – more wealth, more impact, more joy with your work.

In today’s conversation, I’ll be teaching you:

Enjoy this conversation, and please let me know what lands with you. 

How to have the best of both worlds - work and play

Are you sick of stuggling through the summer holidays, just trying to get through it?

Do you feel like you're stuck in survival mode, and just sleepwalking through to September?

Does the big audacious dream for your business feel laughable, and you're not quite sure where you'll drag the energy from to get going again?

Has your self-care dropped off the list, and you're feeling... meh and sluggish?

If you resonate with any of these, have I got a tale for you.

Grab a quick brew, and take 5 minutes for yourself...

Last week I had to practise what I preach when it comes to Imposter Syndrome when I had a panic attack in the middle of Lake Windermere.

I'd signed up for my Open Water Lifeguard qualification and felt like a total fraud.

I was right in the middle of the lake, trying to keep up with the other swimmers, when I swallowed a load of water, which triggered a panic attack.

This is the raw, authentic story of what happened to me... AND the EXACT steps I took to break free of my Imposter Syndrome.

Did I pass my qualification? Listen to find out...

We all know how important it is to be visible when you’re running a business.

We know how vital a personal brand is, and the importance of credibility.

But it can feel excruciating showing your face, even when you know you should.

It can feel terrifying speaking out and using your voice, even though you’re really passionate about the thing.

It can be paralysing to try to take the big, bold moves you really want to, but are petrified of messing up.

Today I want to talk about how to shift your thinking about this topic, so you not only do the thing, but it feels great when you do it.

This is a powerful conversation that has the potential to completely reframe how you show up.

Everybody I’m speaking to seems to be overwhelmed right now.

Overwhelmed, burnt out, too many tabs open.

Part of it is the time of year, school admin seems to be off the charts at the moment, and the looming school holidays throwing everything into disarray.

And even if you don’t have kids, there is a LOT going on – the election, the Euros, July being a nightmare to schedule anything, clients cancelling, the algorithm on here going bonkers.

So many people I’m speaking to are feeling frazzled, and a lot of fear about how business is going – it’s genuinely tough out there for a lot of people.

You’d be forgiven for just pulling the duvet over your head and waiting until September when normal service resumes.

In today’s conversation I’m going to teach you some vital stuff.

Not only how to rise to the challenge and get everything done that you need to, but how to develop a bulletproof mindset so that whatever is going on externally, doesn’t even touch you.

Sound good? Let’s go!

Do you feel successful as an entrepreneur? 

Are you achieving what you set out to achieve? 

How can you measure your success? 

And if you feel successful now, are you done, or are you ready to go for your next level? 

We’re talking about some big questions in today’s conversation. 

Big – but really important. 

So many of us set off on the adventure of entrepreneurship, so busy doing the do that we forget to look up and check we’re still heading in the right direction. 

Or we achieve what most people would deem success, and look around and it just feels hollow. 

We set an ambitious target, absolutely smash it, and just feel numb. 

Today is all about reconnecting (or quite simply connecting) with what success means to you. 

I promise you’re going to feel excited and empowered as a result of this conversation.

I’m bringing together a small group of female entrepreneurs for a brainstorming session this coming Friday afternoon (12th) at 1pm, on the best ways to build success, wealth and freedom in your business, whilst remaining an authentic leader. 

There’s no charge for the session, but there’s a strict criteria on who it’s for. 

It’s for women in business, female founders and entrepreneurs who have big dreams for their business, but are stuck in the weeds and on the financial rollercoaster. Who know they need upgraded strategies and a confident plan in order to reach their next level. 

You must already be making good money in your business, and looking for more efficient and easeful ways to build revenue and impact. 

If you’d like to be considered for this free session, please drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll be in touch with the next steps.

This week I got a call from an old client, an HR business owner.  

“I think I’m self-sabotaging and I can’t stop it” 

She was so frustrated, and kicking herself because she was no rookie. 

She’d nailed her vision, her values and she had a cracking service offering. 

And yet – she couldn’t quite break through a plateau. 

Every time it looked like it was certain this time, she was going to bust through to a new level, something would happen, and she’d be right back where she’d started. 

And she was tenacious – she knew how to pick herself back up and get on the horse. 

But it was getting harder and harder, and she was losing the faith. 

She was 100% right – it was self-sabotage at play. 

This is the story of what we did to get her to recognise how she was self-sabotaging, why she was doing it – and what to do about it.

Say what you like, entrepreneurship is not for the faint hearted. 

While fortune may well favour the brave, having the audacity to run your own business can bring you to your knees. 

Often, women come to me when they’re in a pickle, when they’ve thrown everything at it, and have had dark nights of the soul and are questioning their very existence, never mind if they’ve got what it takes to run a business 

Today’s conversation is about real talk. 

It’s raw, it’s vulnerable, it’s honest and I’m going to overshare on some of MY stuff. 

Today I am speaking directly to you if you feel like this. If you’re on your knees, if you don’t know where to turn – and yes – you’re panicking. 

This is exactly what I would do – and have done – to totally turn my ship around and go from screwed to smashing it.
