  • 15. BTS with my mentor: Getting cancelled, fear of success & deconditioning from old patterns

    A very special behind the scenes chat with my mentor, Milana Sarenac.

    In this episode I wanted to do something a little different and share with you a powerful episode from a recent podcast interview I had with my mentor. This is a Recast of the episode, which first appeared on her podcast. I have recently finished up 9 months of 1:1 mentorship with Milana as well as being in her Mastermind for 6 months. Let’s just say we have a LOT to discuss! 

    In this episode, I  share some deep truths and reflections about:

    • the cancel culture in the online space and my experience getting ‘cancelled’ earlier this year
    • my fear of success and how I’m rising above it
    • being in alignment with your Human Design (and surrendering to the Line 2 ‘hermit’ phase when it calls)
    • how I’m deconditioning from old patterns and behaviours to build a business that feels like pure alignment for me


    Hope you enjoy the episode! I would love to hear your takeaways, feel free to send me a DM on Instagram!


    In this episode, I refer to my 4-Part ‘Alignment Activated’ series. Listen to the series here:

  • 8. 5 things I look at in my clients' businesses to help them find more space WITHOUT compromising their income

    Despite what you might believe, working fewer hours in your business does NOT equate to less revenue.

    In this episode we’re talking about something that is really important to me, something that I’ve worked very intentionally on over the past little while: how you can integrate more white space into your week.

    I guide you through 5 things I look at in my clients’ businesses to help them find more white space WITHOUT compromising their income. 

    Because this is the fear right? More white space equals doing less. And ‘doing’ less equals less money... which is so not the case! This is a really interesting belief to explore and is why identity work is a key component in my work with my clients.

    The 5 questions we will deep dive into are:

    1. What does the week currently look like? What days/hours are you working in your business?
    2. What can be outsourced?
    3. What can be automated and systemised?
    4. How can your natural energy be better optimised?
    5. What strategies, offers or processes can be tweaked or optimised to create more space?


    Hope you enjoy the episode!

  • 7. Why I cancelled 90% of the offers in my business

    A BTS peek into my fearless commitment to bring my business into alignment and my ruthless release of everything that didn't fit... including 90% of my offers.


    In this episode I open up about the shocking discovery that the business I'd constructed was significantly misaligned with my authentic self (despite my perceptions). I discuss the process of accepting this truth, the steps I took to dismantle almost everything I'd built, and how this led to the reformation of my business into a genuine reflection of my true expression.

  • 6. Business as a separate entity: How to disentangle yourself

    Why your business should NOT be a personal extension of you, the dangers of being enmeshed, and how to disentangle yourself so your business can have greater impact and you, individually, can have greater peace. 


    In this episode, I share how important it is to hold duality in entrepreneurship: to be able to hold two truths simultaneously – that you are BOTH an emotional being AND the CEO of your business, and for those truths to be able to coexist separately so that what's happening in one area doesn't influence the other and create limitations or undue stress. 


    We explore how to handle emotions in biz, how to come into greater self-awareness with your thoughts, and how to transcend unconscious patterning so you can ground into the fact that your business is supremely more powerful than you realise.
