In this episode, Leah and Jess talked about a topic every business owner has likely wrestled with—ad spend vs. viral content. Jess opens up about her experience running ads for her service-based business, explaining how this approach provides her with a level of control over who sees her content and how her message is received.

The key takeaway? Ad spend gives you control. You don’t have to rely on the unpredictable nature of viral content. Leah and Jess also talk about the crucial role analytics play in understanding ad performance. By carefully reviewing the results, you can make informed adjustments to ensure your strategy stays sharp.

They also touch on a hidden benefit of ad spend—tax write-offs. It’s not just an investment in growth but can also provide some relief come tax time.

Piece of advice from these amazing women: Successful businesses aren’t built overnight. It’s about being intentional, consistent, and patient, whether you’re relying on paid ads or waiting for content to gain organic traction.

If you’ve been debating whether to invest in ads or hold out for viral success, this episode is for you. Tune in and get ready to make more informed decisions for your business.

In this episode, Leah and Jess dive into the rollercoaster journey of starting their businesses and transitioning to full-time entrepreneurship. Both share personal stories of how they made that leap – Jess, who carefully navigated a side hustle while holding down a full-time job, and Leah, whose path was reshaped by redundancy during the COVID-19 pandemic.

For Jess, the transition took about over eight months of hard work and dedication. She talks openly about juggling her job with building her business, how each step gave her confidence to eventually go all in. Leah’s experience, however, was a little different. When the pandemic upended her career in travel and events, she didn’t sit still. Instead, she embraced online business management and virtual assistant roles, diving headfirst into something new.

This episode highlights more than just the practical steps of starting a business. Leah and Jess discuss the powerful role language and mindset play in owning your entrepreneurial journey. It’s not just about seeing your venture as a “side hustle” but validating it as a legitimate business. The way you speak about and believe in your business can shift how others see it too.

They also remind us of the ever-changing nature of entrepreneurship, urging listeners to embrace growth, change, and new opportunities as they come. With a little humour and brutal honesty, they break down the challenges they’ve faced and the moments that tested their resilience, all while emphasising the importance of having a support network, whether that's a partner, friends, or fellow business owners.

Ready to kickstart your entrepreneurial journey or deepen your commitment to it? Tune in to hear Leah and Jess keep it real, and leave you inspired, motivated, and ready for your next move.

Takeaways:
1. Transitioning from a job to full-time entrepreneurship can be gradual or sudden – every journey is different.
2. Language and mindset matter. Validate your business, and others will too.
3. Clients can come from anywhere – from Facebook groups to word of mouth.

If this episode resonates with you, we’d love to hear your story! Share your thoughts in the comments or DM us – let's keep the conversation going. And if you're just getting started or thinking of making the leap to full-time entrepreneurship, remember: THE FIRST STEP IS JUST SHOWING UP.

See you in the next episode!

Running a business while being a mum comes with its own set of challenges, and guilt is often at the forefront when things don’t go as planned. In this episode, Leah and Jess get real about what it feels like when your day doesn’t unfold the way you hoped—and how to shift that negative energy into something more productive. They share personal stories of juggling family and work, offering practical advice on how to acknowledge and celebrate what did get done, rather than focusing on what didn’t.

This conversation isn’t about perfection but about finding your own operating rhythm as a mum in business. You’ll learn how to ditch the guilt, create an 'I did it' list to track your achievements, and how to focus on the value you bring, not just the hours you put in.

Key Takeaways:
- Let go of guilt when things don’t go as planned—it’s part of the process.
- Celebrate your wins, no matter how small they seem. Focus on what you accomplished, not what you missed.
- Find your harmony by creating a rhythm that works for your life, not the other way around.

Tune in for an honest, heartfelt chat about the realities of being a mum in business and why it’s so important to be kind to yourself.

Ever feel like you're drowning in the pressure of needing likes, comments, and shares from your family and friends on social media? You’re not alone. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster of seeking validation online and how it can strain your relationships. We get real about why relying on family and friends for support might be holding you back, and why building a community of like-minded individuals could be the game-changer you need.

In this eye-opening conversation, we explore the often-overlooked pressure of seeking validation from those closest to us on social media. Leah and Jess share personal stories about the impact of needing approval from family and friends, shedding light on how it can create unnecessary stress and affect your self-worth.

We dig into the reality that not everyone in your inner circle will understand or support your journey, especially when it comes to your business or personal growth. This episode encourages listeners to shift their focus away from seeking validation and towards building a supportive community that truly gets them.

Vulnerability is a double-edged sword—it can either deepen your relationships or leave you feeling exposed. We talk about the importance of being mindful of who you open up to and why it’s crucial to seek practical advice from those who genuinely want to see you succeed, rather than those who might unintentionally hold you back.

Let’s start a real conversation. And if you know someone who’s struggling with this, share this episode with them!

Welcome to another episode of Leah and Jess' chat about the wild ride of being a mum in business. Today, we're diving into a topic that's sure to resonate with many of you: surviving (and maybe even enjoying) school holidays while running your own show.

Episode Highlights: When Kids and Business Collide
Our dynamic duo, Leah and Jess, get real about the rollercoaster of emotions that come with school holidays. They spill the tea on:
➡️ The constant tug-of-war between work commitments and quality time with the kids

➡️ Boundaries are your best friend: Learn to say "no" without the guilt – your business and sanity will thank you!
➡️ Embrace the imperfect: Your kids won't remember every detail, so cut yourself some slack.
➡️ Team effort: Get the kids involved in household tasks – it's a win-win!
➡️ Adapt and conquer: As your kids grow, so do their needs. Stay flexible and adjust your holiday strategies.
➡️ It takes a village: Build your support network and trust them to help out.

Real Talk: You've Got This, Mumma!
Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to nailing the school holiday juggle. Leah and Jess remind us that it's okay to stumble, learn, and grow. The key is finding what works for you and your family.

So, pour yourself a cuppa (or a cheeky wine), pop in those earbuds, and join us for some laughs, tears, and practical tips on making it through school holidays with your business and sanity intact.
