  • 119. This isn't Goodbye. It's...

    This Isnโ€™t Goodbye. Itโ€™s Something Else.


    After 8 years of Babes Talking Business, weโ€™re pressing pause.

    Not because of burnout.

    Not because of drama.

    Not because weโ€™ve fallen out of love with business.

    But because something has shifted.


    In this deeply honest episode, we open up about:

    - The evolution of identity after 10 years in entrepreneurship

    - Transitioning through motherhood while building global businesses

    - Outgrowing niches that once defined you

    - What it feels like to pivot when everything is technically โ€œworkingโ€

    - Why alignment matters more than momentum

    - The universal tests that show up right before you close a chapter

    - Choosing values over visibility

    - Why financial literacy for women has always been our core mission


    Over the last decade, weโ€™ve:

    โ€ข Built global teams

    โ€ข Written books

    โ€ข Spoken on stages

    โ€ข Created multiple income streams

    โ€ข Invested, diversified, and built wealth

    โ€ข Documented every season publicly


    And through it all, one mission has remained constant:Empowering women to create financial freedom, aligned success, and lives by design.


    As a parting gift, weโ€™re giving you our FREE Financial Literacy & Wealth Building Masterclass Bundle, which includes:

    โœ” A private masterclass on building multiple income streams

    If youโ€™ve ever wondered:

    - How do I start building wealth?

    - How do I create financial freedom as a woman?

    - How do I diversify my income streams?

    - How do I stop trading time for money?


    This is for you.


    This episode is reflective, raw, funny, and deeply aligned.

    Itโ€™s not goodbye.

    Itโ€™s a conscious pause.

    And we canโ€™t wait to see what unfolds next.

  • 118: How to Start Investing in Property with Confidence with Gabi Billing - Cofounder of Dashdot

    In this episode of Babes Talking Business, we sit down with Gabi Billing, co-founder of Dashdot - an award-winning property investing buyers agency and portfolio growth partner helping everyday Australians build wealth through smarter property strategy.


    We unpack how Dashdot supports clients beyond โ€œfinding a propertyโ€ (think: data, research, portfolio planning, and ongoing monitoring), why so many investors get stuck at 1โ€“2 properties, and how rentvesting can help you build a portfolio without needing to buy where you live.


    If youโ€™re a woman who wants to invest but feels overwhelmed, behind, or unsure where to start - this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and a practical path forward.

    • What Dashdot is and how their โ€œportfolio growth partnerโ€ model works
    • Why most investors get stuck at 2 or fewer properties (and how planning avoids it)
    • How Dashdot supports clients beyond purchase: research, reporting, strategy, and portfolio health checks
    • Gabbyโ€™s story: how an off-the-plan apartment purchase went wrong and sparked the mission behind Dashdot
    • Why investing can create more freedom and take pressure off your career or business income
    • The power of rentvesting (and why the best investment isnโ€™t always where you live)
    • Why women often feel shut out of investing and how to start anyway (without โ€œneeding to know it allโ€)
    • Founder lessons: choosing peace, avoiding burnout, and building a business that aligns with whatโ€™s true for you
    • A peek into Gabiโ€™s lifestyle move: running a remote company from Bali, then Phuket, and redefining success

  • 116: How Macro Mike Built a $Multi-Million Vegan Protein Brand from $10K

    In this powerhouse episode ofย Babes Talking Business, we sit down withย Mike Kellettย โ€” Founder & CEO ofย Macro Mike, one of Australiaโ€™s fastest-growing, multi-award-winning health food companies. What began in 2016 as protein brownies hand-mixed in his one-bedroom apartment has exploded into aย 100+ SKU empire, stocked acrossย 5,000+ retailers, including Coles, major supplement stores, and independent health food chains nationwide. With a thriving online community ofย 500,000+ customersย andย 35,000+ five-star reviews, Macro Mike has become a household name in plant-based wellness.But behind every โ€œovernight successโ€ is nearly a decade of grit, hustle, heartbreak, reinvention โ€” and a whole lot of crazy. And this episode revealsย all of it.


    What We Dive Into:

    โœ“ย Mike shares how his childhood entrepreneurial spirit shaped his resilience and sales genius.

    โœ“ย Moving countries, couch-surfing with strangers, and the moment he almost gave up โ€” before discovering the job that would change his life.

    โœ“ย Building a brand from scratch: How a gluten + dairy intolerance led him to develop a peanut-protein formula no one else in the industry had considered.

    โœ“ย From kitchen bench to 2,000 sqm warehouse: The truth behind scaling Macro Mike to: 50+ staff, 15,000kg weekly production, a full in-house manufacturing facility, thousands of daily orders & nationwide distribution

    โœ“ย Finances, growth and the hard lessons: The mistakes that cost him $60K overnight, the year his profits went backwards, and the financial literacy every business owner MUST master.

    โœ“ย High-performance leadership & self-belief: Where his unstoppable drive comes from โ€” and the trauma, legacy and family influence that shaped him.

    โœ“ย Iconic brand partnerships: How Macro Mike secured game-changing collaborations including Golden Gaytime, Kelloggโ€™sย (Coco Pops, Fruit Loops & Nutri-Grain)โ€ฆ and the five-year strategy behind landing these global brand deals.

    โœ“ย Mental health, burnout & identity

    โœ“ย Legacy, leadership & the long game: Why heโ€™s never quit (even when he wanted to), how fatherhood changed the way he leads, and the routines that hold him through the chaos.


    Why Youโ€™ll Love This Episode.

    This conversation is REAL, raw, emotional and wildly inspiring. Itโ€™s the episode every founder, creator, entrepreneur, and high-achieving woman needs to hear โ€” especially if youโ€™re in a season of rebuilding, reimagining, or questioning your own path.

    Mike is proof that:

    โœจ resilience is a skill

    โœจ self-belief can be learned

    โœจ โ€œhard seasonsโ€ are often the gateway to iconic success

    โœจ and passion fuels the long game when money, motivation, and momentum disappearThis is easily one of our most powerful founder episodes yet.

  • 113: Season Finale: Motherhood, Marriage, MLM, Navigating Triggers, Confidence and Quitting Your 9โ€“5

    In this unfiltered, heart-led season finale of the Babes Talking Business podcast, your hosts Chani Thompson and Lauren Kerr get raw, real, and a little bit rogue. From answering anonymous Q&As submitted by our community to navigating emotional triggers, relationship challenges, and the highs and lows of motherhood and business โ€” nothing is off limits in this episode.

    Lauren shares her decision to step back for maternity leave and what it looks like to transition from maiden to mother. Chani opens up about the unseen layers of postpartum, protecting her family's privacy, and how couples coaching helped rebuild her relationship. We dive into teen rebellion stories, what weโ€™d tell our younger selves, and the lessons weโ€™ve learned through personal growth and feminine leadership.

    We also get passionate (and a little spicy) unpacking a trigger around the judgment of network marketing (MLM) โ€” especially as women with purpose-led businesses, financial literacy goals, and a deep mission to empower others with freedom and choice. If youโ€™ve ever felt hesitant about sharing your biz or worried what others thinkโ€ฆ this is your permission slip to be bold

  • 111: The Self-Led Woman Movementโ€”Unlocking Wealth, Freedom, and Leadership

    This weeks episode is a powerful one - and something a little different - after 9 years of working together - Chani and Lauren were asked to share the stage at their company commerce and have a REAL BUSINESS conversation sharing exactly how they have been able to create the businesses, impact, freedom and wealth they have.


    So we decided we would also share this with you - as it was a conversation like this that totally changed the trajectory of our lives and careers. In this episode, we dive deep into what it truly means to be a Self-Led Womanโ€”a movement that is redefining success for ambitious, purpose-driven women who refuse to settle. If you've ever felt the pull to create more in your lifeโ€”more impact, more income, more freedomโ€”but haven't known where to start or how to make it happen without burnout, this episode is for you.


    WHAT YOUโ€™LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

    โœจ The Power of Self-Leadership:
    Learn how stepping into your full potential and leading yourself first is the foundation of lasting success. We break down the mindset shifts required to stop waiting for permission and take full ownership of your goals, finances, and future.

    โœจ The Proven Blueprint for Wealth Creation:
    We donโ€™t just dream bigโ€”we take aligned action. In this episode, we share how the mentorship, business model, and strategic systems inside the Self-Led Woman movement have helped us uplevel our wealth, build sustainable income streams, and unlock financial independence.

    โœจ Why This Business Model Works for Women Seeking More:
    We explain how we leverage a proven, duplicatable blueprint that allows busy womenโ€”whether they are professionals, entrepreneurs, or stay-at-home momsโ€”to create a thriving business without sacrificing their values, family, or personal well-being.

    โœจ The Role of Mentorship and Community in Your Growth:
    Success doesnโ€™t happen in isolation. One of the key differentiators of our movement is the high-level mentorship, weekly trainings, and a powerhouse community of women who are all moving toward the same goal: upleveling their health, wealth, and circle of influence.

    โœจ The Invitation: Are You Ready to Elevate?
    If youโ€™re craving a shiftโ€”whether in your financial situation, career, or personal growthโ€”and want to do it with a support system that actually empowers you rather than leaves you guessing, we invite you to take a closer look at our community. This is your chance to create success on your own terms, in a way that feels fully aligned.


    WHO IS THIS FOR?

    • Women who feel stuck or capped in their current careers

    • Women who know they are meant for more but donโ€™t know where to start

    • Women who desire financial expansion, time freedom, and location independence

    • Women who crave a supportive network of like-minded, growth-focused individuals

    ๐Ÿ’ก If this resonates with you, weโ€™d love to connect! Connect with either Lauren, Chani or whoever sent this to you directly - to learn more about our movement, explore whatโ€™s possible, and see if this could be the right next step for you.


    ๐Ÿš€ Join The Self-Led Woman Movement Today โ†’ https://www.instagram.com/thehseofficial/


    ๐ŸŽง Listen now, take notes, and get ready to unlock your next level. Because you are worthy of more, and the life you desire is already within reachโ€”itโ€™s time to claim it!
