What happens when the business you’ve built for 15 years is ready for a new owner, and the right person is already in your orbit?

For my first-ever in-person episode of Behind The Fold, I’m sitting down with Tess Robinson, founder of Smack Bang and co-founder of Land Lab, to share some very big news: I’ve officially acquired Smack Bang.

We talk about selling a business you still love, stepping into someone else’s legacy, and trusting that your vision is allowed to evolve as your life does.

Here’s what we cover:

• 03:10 – Why Tess always intended to sell Smack Bang and how she knew the timing was finally right
• 10:04 – How she found her successor (me!) and why I said yes immediately
• 20:35 – What it really feels like to step into a business you didn’t build, including what to protect and what to optimize
• 32:29 – How 15 years of building Smack Bang shaped Land Lab
• 43:02 – Why “bigger is better” stopped being the goal, and the importance of redefining success as you grow

This conversation is a reminder that evolving your vision doesn’t mean abandoning everything you’ve built. Sometimes the next chapter means trusting someone else to carry something forward while you create space for what’s calling you next.

In this solo episode of Behind the Fold, I'm opening up about life inside a dual-entrepreneur household with two young kids and two businesses. Grateful? Absolutely. But the reality is messier than it looks on paper.

Here's what I dive into:

• 03:29 – Why having two ambitious entrepreneurs in one household doesn't automatically mean equal labor
• 08:53 – Learning to recognize each other's capacity, and how that's shifting the way we share the load
• 13:47 – Why I've stopped waiting for permission to ask for support, and how paid help creates capacity instead of us both just doing more
• 15:53 – Why pushing past my perceived limits feels worth it, and how the freedom I'm building makes it sustainable

I also give you a preview of the big business announcement coming next week. 

If you're navigating motherhood, business, and a tested capacity, I hope my messy middle reminds you that balance doesn't need to be perfect. Share this with a woman building a big life without carrying everything alone.

In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m sharing what five nights offline at Gwinganna Retreat & Spa taught me about burnout, self-care, and the pace I’ve been keeping as a mother and business owner. What began as an unexpected wellness retreat became a deeper reset.

Here’s what I dive into:

• 04:22 – Why saying yes to five nights away felt almost impossible and what stepping back taught me about releasing control and receiving support
• 11:35 – How 5Rhythms movement helped me release emotions I’d been carrying and tune into the next version of myself
• 16:16 – Why fueling and caring for my body with the same intention I give my children is no longer optional
• 23:17 – How gratitude, micro habits, and staying focused on my own journey are shaping the future I want to create

If you’ve been carrying too much lately, send this to a friend who needs the reminder. Would you ever book a solo retreat, or does the thought terrify you?

In today’s episode of Behind the Fold, I’m reflecting on 11 years in business and the leadership lessons that have reshaped not just how I run my company, but how I protect my energy and focus. After opening up about my recent experience with burnout, I’m also sharing why I’m stepping away for a solo wellness retreat and why creating space might be one of the smartest business decisions you can make.

Here’s what I dive into:

• 06:55 – Why trying to be everything to everyone limits your growth, and how letting go of control creates more capacity to lead.
• 11:35 – The mindset shift that helped me stop waiting for the “right time” to hire, and why building the right team starts long before you feel ready.
• 16:15 – The simple reframe that made delegation easier, helped me reclaim hours I didn’t realize I was losing, and freed me up to grow the business instead of just keeping it running.
• 21:40 – Why some of your biggest breakthroughs happen away from your desk, and how giving yourself room to think can unlock your next level of growth.

I hope this episode reminds you that building a successful business isn’t about doing more. It’s about leading with intention, clarity, and the right support around you. If you know someone trying to do it all alone, send this their way.

Building one successful brand is an incredible achievement. Having the courage to close that chapter and start again takes a whole new level of resilience.

This week on Behind The Fold, founder Bridgette Gale opens up about walking away from her first business, trusting her instincts, and launching Elacia while balancing entrepreneurship, motherhood, and marriage.

Here’s what we cover:

• 03:12 - Why starting young gave Bridgette the confidence to build a global swimwear brand without having all the answers
• 09:10 - The reality of launching a new business, from trademark setbacks to discovering a major manufacturing mistake just days before launch
• 14:20 - How shifting from “this is happening to me” to “this is happening for me” has shaped her resilience through every challenge
• 19:15 - Motherhood, confidence, and leading by example
• 31:45 - Why founder-led content and customer trust matter now

Every successful business comes with unexpected challenges, but resilience, adaptability, and trusting yourself will carry you forward. Share this episode with a founder, entrepreneur, or mom who needs the reminder that starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm talking about burnout. Not the dramatic kind, but the quiet kind that slowly builds until everything feels heavier. We're so used to carrying it all that we often miss the signs until we're already running on empty.

Here's what I cover:

• 02:30 – Why burnout goes unnoticed and how to spot the early signs
• 05:18 – Why small commitments add up and the power of subtracting
• 09:22 – Practical habits to reduce mental load, from email management to AI meal planning
• 16:30 – Why rest is maintenance, not recovery

Taking care of yourself isn't something you have to earn. The more we look after ourselves before we reach breaking point, the more present, creative, and resilient we become.

What does burnout feel like to you? If this resonated, share it with someone who could use the reminder today.

Zoe Goodhardt stepped back from her career to have children. Then she got bored. In this episode of Behind the Fold, I sit down with Zoe, Partner at TAG, to talk about rediscovering identity after kids, building a career while raising three children, and why working mothers consistently underestimate their value.

What we dive into:

• 04:02 – The moment Zoe looked around a mums group and realized she wanted more
• 11:28 – How a chance encounter while pushing a stroller led to the career opportunity that changed everything
• 18:10 – Why outsourcing, grandparents, and buying back your time are non-negotiable, not luxuries
• 33:43 – Why more women need to ask for flexibility instead of assuming the answer is no
• 43:30 – On dual-income households, the superannuation gap, and why pausing your career indefinitely is a financial risk

I hope this episode encourages you to advocate for yourself, ask for what you need, and remember that your goals still matter after becoming a parent. Share this with a mother who is thinking about returning to work or navigating what comes next.

In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm reflecting on who we are outside of our titles. So many of us pour ourselves into motherhood, careers, and relationships, only to realize we've lost touch with the person underneath.

As I navigate my own growth journey, I've been questioning how much of my identity has become tied to what I do instead of who I am. This conversation is an invitation to slow down, get curious, and reconnect.

Here's what I cover:

• 04:47 - How motherhood, business, and career can blur the line between what you do and who you are
• 07:09 - Why constantly showing up for everyone else can disconnect you from your own needs, and why high-achieving women often lose access to themselves in the process
• 09:25 - What self-rediscovery actually looks like
• 13:05 - Simple ways to reconnect with the parts of you that exist beyond your titles, including protecting one thing that's just for you

The roles we hold will evolve. Kids grow up. Businesses pivot. Share this episode with a friend who might need reminding too.

Launching a brand is hard. Doing it with a six-month-old at home is a different beast entirely. In this episode of Behind The Fold, I sit down with Georgia Gazal, founder of First Thing Underwear, to hear how she grew her underwear line into one of Australia’s most talked-about names.

Georgia shares the reality of building a product-based business from her garage, navigating stock shortages, creating a brand that genuinely connects with women, and balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood.

Here’s what we cover:

• 03:08 – Where Georgia’’s entrepreneurial drive came from and how the idea for First Thing was born
• 07:14 – Launching a business with a six-month-old and the realities of those early days
• 10:30 – The Meta ad that unexpectedly changed the trajectory of her strapless bra
• 22:49 – Building self-belief as a founder and overcoming self-doubt
• 34:54 – The brand-building framework Georgia still uses to guide every decision

You don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Confidence is built through action. Share this episode with a woman who is building a business, navigating motherhood, or looking for the courage to back herself.

In today's episode of Behind the Fold, I'm talking about rest. Somewhere along the way, we started believing we have to earn it before we're allowed to pause.

Rest isn't a luxury. It's non-negotiable. Taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's one of the most important things you can do for your family, your business, and yourself.

Here's what I cover:

• 02:20 - Why so many of us believe rest has to be earned and how productivity culture reinforces that mindset
• 06:55 - What happens in your nervous system when you're constantly operating in fight or flight mode
• 10:10 - The difference between burnout, collapse, and intentional restoration, and why waiting until you're exhausted isn't the answer
• 13:50 - What real rest actually looks like and simple ways to build restorative practices into your everyday life

The more we prioritize recovery before burnout, the more present, creative, and resilient we become. Share this episode with a fellow mom who might need the reminding!
