In this week's episode, I chat with the fabulous Lauren from The Audacious Agency about the often overlooked power of entering and winning awards in business. Lauren shares her journey of establishing a premier profile-building agency and opens up about how awards have transformed careers and businesses, including a memorable story about a start-up product competing against Google—and winning! We get into the nitty-gritty of why every business, regardless of size, should consider entering awards and how the process itself can be transformative. Lauren also dispels myths about needing to be 'big enough' to win and gives actionable tips on leveraging those wins. As always, our conversation is filled with practical advice and insights tailored for our digital-savvy audience.

Hey there, lovely listeners! In this episode, we dive into the unique challenges of being a woman in business. We discuss how the cognitive load impacts us differently compared to men and why it's not just about being busy, but avoiding burnout. I share striking statistics on women's mental loads at home, caregiving, and the business world, highlighting how these influence decision fatigue, undervaluing time, and saying yes too often. We talk about practical strategies for delegation, setting boundaries, and lowering domestic standards. Remember, it's not about perfection but surviving and thriving in a system stacked against us. Your business can come first, it's okay to say no and prioritise yourself!

This week, I'm joined by Kate Merryweather, LinkedIn coach extraordinaire.
