What if the thing holding your business back isn’t your strategy but the fact you’re trying to be who everyone else expects you to be?

There’s a difference between building a business that looks successful and building one that actually feels like you. Sometimes, getting noticed means being willing to say what other people are too afraid to say.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Amber Jay, business mentor and The Gutsy CEO, to talk about her journey from teaching to entrepreneurship, the power of radical honesty and building a business around a clear mission.

We also explore what happened when one of her Instagram reels went viral, the opportunities that followed and the challenges that come with suddenly being seen by a much bigger audience.

If you’re tired of playing small, second-guessing your voice or trying to fit into somebody else’s version of business success, this one is for you.

Who celebrates the women building the businesses that bring their communities to life?

Behind every children's activity class, local club and family focused business is someone putting in the hours, taking risks and making things happen. Yet the impact of those businesses can be easy to underestimate.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Krissie Monaghan, business strategist and founder of the Class Business Awards, to talk about the children's activity industry and why its business owners deserve to be recognised.

We discuss the thinking behind the awards, how to tell your business story, what makes a strong application and the planning involved in creating an event that celebrates the people behind the businesses.

Because your work doesn’t have to be on a huge national stage to make a huge difference. And sometimes, putting yourself forward for recognition is part of recognising your own value.

You can understand what’s happening in your head and still feel completely overwhelmed by life.

Motherhood, anxiety, business and the pressure to keep everything moving can leave you wondering why things that once felt manageable suddenly feel so difficult.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Sarie Taylor to explore her transition from psychotherapy into business coaching, her experiences of anxiety and motherhood, and the moment she discovered a different way of understanding human nature and mental wellbeing.

We talk about the assumptions we make about our thoughts and feelings, the impact those assumptions can have on everyday life and what can happen when we begin to see things differently.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your own head, questioned why you’re struggling or wished life could feel a little less complicated, this conversation is worth your time.

Everyone talks about becoming a business owner. But what happens when your business model involves helping other people become business owners too?

Franchising can offer a way to grow a brand while supporting other people to build businesses of their own. But there’s more to it than handing over a logo and a set of instructions.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), we explore the world of franchising and the relationship between a franchisor and their franchisees. What does it take to build a business that other people can run? How do you support people to succeed while growing your own brand? And what does a healthy, sustainable franchise relationship look like?

Whether you’re considering franchising your own business, thinking about buying a franchise or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes, this conversation explores the realities beyond the sales pitch.

When your life becomes your content, where do you draw the line between sharing and protecting what matters most?

Social media can create incredible opportunities. It can build communities, open doors and turn everyday moments into something that connects with thousands of people. But when motherhood becomes part of your online world, the decisions can become more complicated.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Nicole from Life with Alice and Charlotte to talk about content creation, motherhood and the realities of sharing family life online.

We explore the journey of becoming a content creator, the impact social media can have on family life, and the challenge of balancing authenticity with boundaries and privacy.

Because behind every account is a real person, a real family and a life that doesn’t always fit neatly into a post or a reel.

What if your passion for language and culture could become something that brings an entire community together?

Turning something you love into a business can be exciting, but building something sustainable around that passion takes commitment, confidence and a willingness to keep growing.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Milena Jurasz-Cruz, founder of El Recreo Spanish, to talk about language, culture and the power of education to bring people together.

We explore the journey of developing a business around her passion, creating a sense of community through language learning and making the personal investment that comes with growing something of your own.

Because business isn’t always just about what you sell. Sometimes it’s about the connections you create, the opportunities you open up and the difference you want to make.

Sometimes the skills you’ve spent years developing in one career become the very things that help you build the next.

Changing direction can mean stepping away from what’s familiar, rethinking how you see yourself and finding the confidence to be known for something new.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), we explore the journey behind From Classroom to Headlines and the shift from one professional world into another. We look at what it takes to make a change, find your voice and step into new opportunities when the path ahead isn’t necessarily mapped out for you.

Because a career change isn’t just about what you do next. It can also change how you see your skills, your identity and what might be possible.

If you’ve ever wondered whether the experience you already have could take you somewhere unexpected, this conversation is for you.

Sometimes one moment changes the direction of your life. The hard part is working out who you are on the other side of it.

We often tell the story of where we ended up as if it was always the plan. But life rarely follows a neat timeline, and the experiences that change us most can leave us questioning everything we thought we knew.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), we explore a turning point and the changes that can follow when life takes an unexpected direction. We talk about what it means to adjust, find your feet again and begin to work out what comes next when the old version of your life no longer fits.

Because sometimes the goal isn’t to get back to exactly where you were. It’s to discover what you want to build from here.

If you’re in a season of change, questioning your next step or trying to make sense of a new chapter, this conversation may be just what you need.

Everyone remembers the first. But being the first franchisee means stepping into something that hasn’t yet been done quite this way before.

There’s a big difference between dreaming about working for yourself and actually taking the leap. Suddenly, you’re responsible for the decisions, the marketing, the customers and the days when things don’t go to plan.

In this episode of I’M FINE (but…), I sit down with Erin Wattam, BabyBeats’ very first franchisee, to talk honestly about self-employment and what it takes to build a business around family life.

We discuss the highs and the hard bits, finding the right approach for your personality, creating community events, expanding your offers and marketing without feeling like you’ve lost yourself in the process. We also explore mindset, accountability, adaptability and the reality of balancing babies with business.

This is the conversation for anyone who has wondered whether running their own business could work for them — and what it actually looks like once you start.
