I recently sat down with Nic from Plate Spinning Academy to dig into the real, sometimes gritty side of entrepreneurship. We had a laugh calling it a “darker Disneyland,” a place that looks glittery on the outside but is full of hidden twists and turns on the inside. And let’s be honest, we both feel that so much of the marketing we see around entrepreneurship is full of wild promises about overnight success and endless income streams. But if you’re like us and have actually lived it, you know it takes a lot more grit than glamour.
Nic and I agree that this lack of transparency can really impact new entrepreneurs, leaving them disillusioned early on. That’s why we emphasise the importance of doing your homework, asking questions, and prioritising genuine, meaningful connections over just “networking.” We believe real success comes from ethical choices and authentic relationships, rather than quick wins or superficial connections.

As we gear up for the holiday season, sales strategies must adapt to shifting consumer behaviours. While high-end luxury is rebounding, middle-tier customers are tightening budgets, impacting sectors like luxury hotels and events. Meanwhile, affordable feel-good purchases remain popular, offering a window for brands targeting lower-tier consumers.
This season, ethical sales practices are key. Moving away from high-pressure tactics to focus on customer-centric approaches builds trust and fosters loyalty. Diversifying channels - like writing, podcasting, and broadening product offerings - creates stability and reaches a wider audience.
Above all, ensure purchasing feels joyful, not desperate. By prioritising authentic engagement and value, sales teams can make this holiday season memorable for customers and beneficial for business.

We all know that inner critic—the one that chips away at our confidence, whispering doubts and negativity. I've struggled with it myself, letting it hold me back for too long. But I’ve learned that we can rewrite that internal dialogue. Recognising those harsh thoughts and actively challenging them has been a game-changer for me.
I’ve also come to understand how things like sugar and simple carbs can mess with our mood and energy, impacting how we feel about ourselves. By making small, mindful changes in how we nourish ourselves, we can improve our mental resilience too.
And then there’s the fear of what others think—a powerful barrier that often stops us from showing up as our authentic selves. Learning to let go of that fear and advocate for myself has been incredibly freeing. Self-acceptance and self-advocacy are essential in both our personal and professional lives, and they’re key to building the confidence to pursue what we truly want. When we choose to quiet that inner critic, we create space for growth, joy, and genuine fulfilment.

In this episode, I sat down with the wonderful Ashley from the Healthy Metal Hippie to dive deep into a topic that is so close to both our hearts: empowering women through business and personal growth. As the founder of Beyond the Dawn, my mission has always been to help a million women transform their worlds. But today’s conversation goes beyond just that — it’s about raising consciousness and pushing back against the negative digital biases we encounter every day.
Ashley has been on such a profound journey, and I’m so grateful she opened up about it with me. She talked about her own story, from overcoming abuse to reclaiming her power, and how having the right support can make all the difference. We explored the psychological impacts of trauma and the sheer resilience it takes to rise from it. Her strength is a reminder that no matter what you face, the right network of people and the right mindset can empower you to rewrite your story.
Together, we also discussed how we can all be positive influences and why collective change is possible when we support one another. This conversation is about acknowledging the challenges, but more importantly, celebrating the power we hold to create something better for ourselves and others.
This is part one of our conversation, and I hope you find it as inspiring as I did.
