Life and Business In Flow

The deepest transformations happen when we finally give ourselves permission to pause. In a world where being constantly "on" has become our default, where exhaustion runs deep and that feeling of being needed by everyone leaves us depleted, we've forgotten what it means to truly rest.

At my recent women's retreat, I witnessed something magical - eight incredible women found their way back to themselves. In that sacred space, layers of armour fell away, masculine energy softened, and each woman rediscovered what it meant to simply breathe and be.

They arrived carrying their worlds on their shoulders - juggling client work, family demands, and endless to-do lists - but left with something precious: the knowing of what it means to live life on their own terms.

This episode is your gentle reminder that healing doesn't need to wait for 'someday'. Whether through embracing a low-tox lifestyle, setting clear boundaries, exploring kinesiology, or seeking support - your permission slip to begin isn't in the future. It's right here, right now.

And for those feeling the call to join me on my next retreat, I'm excited to share that the 2025 waitlist is now open. You can join the waitlist here.

Did you start your business solo, wearing all the hats and juggling every responsibility? It’s exciting at first - until your business grows, your team expands, and suddenly you find yourself in uncharted territory.

You’re not alone. This is a turning point for so many business owners and a challenge that we keep seeing time and time again.

Leadership isn’t just about setting targets - it’s about rolling up your sleeves and getting in the trenches with your team, inspiring and guiding them in a way that makes everyone feel seen and valued because this is where real growth happens for them, for you and your business.

Today, my husband Adrian Addamo is back on the podcast and in this episode, I wanted to talk with Adrian about the challenges that he’s currently seeing in business, and how we can all improve in those areas.

We also chat about leading a team with clarity and intention, finding the right people to hire, building a culture of enthusiasm, facing hard truths about toxic behaviours in the workplace and keeping motivation alive.

Adrian’s got a unique take on what leadership really means, thanks to his 20+ years in the automotive world to pivoting into the world of coaching, while blending mindset, mindfulness, nutrition and fitness into his approach. And as an ultra-athlete, he knows how to push limits - something every leader and business owner can relate to when it comes to resilience and grit.

Adrian’s focus is to connect your team with their potential and align their goals with your vision to build better businesses. It's time to close the leadership gap!

We often underestimate the impact that our home environment and lifestyle have on our business. When your home is chaotic, your mind is cluttered, and that spills into everything else.

Many of us are trying to juggle so much - business, family, schedules and health. Without a strong foundation, it can all start to crumble leaving you feeling completely overwhelmed and possibly even resentful towards your business because of it.

Over the years, I’ve learned that having an organised life isn’t just about tidying up or making sure the laundry is done. It’s about creating a foundation that supports your business, your health, and your peace of mind.

In this episode, we're talking about implementing strong foundations - like setting boundaries, organising your space, and simplifying routines so that YOU can create a life and business that flows together.

It’s these small but intentional routines that allow you to show up as your best self, both at home and in your business, and bring more peace into your life, and your overall sense of well-being.

As business owners, we often get caught up in the day-to-day tasks, especially in the early years. It can feel very overwhelming setting up your ABN, registering your business name, dealing with insurance, and figuring out client journeys and pricing. But once those foundational steps are in place, there comes a time to shift your focus.

In today’s episode, we're diving into what it truly means to become the business owner your business needs you to be.

From having the right support and systems, how to become the leader your team needs, managing a business as a creative, and when to consider hiring so you can focus on the bigger picture.

It's all too easy to let fear and uncertainty stop us from stepping up as the business leaders we’re meant to be. Whether it's cash flow, contracts, or client management, having the right tools and support can make all the difference in how your business flows because business doesn’t have to feel hard.

Creating a course and products for passive income might not be the answer you’re looking for.

Passive income and “making money while you sleep” are sold to us everywhere online as the ultimate goal in your business and something we should aim for.

It’s become a bit of a fad - if you don’t have one, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind.

I’m here to tell you that it’s not the magic solution, it can actually do more harm than good, and there are other steps you can take in your business before giving into the course creation hype.

Creating a truly impactful, purpose-driven course takes time and money.

One major challenge is the trade-off: time spent developing a course can take you away from the core of your business, affecting your clients, and revenue, and leading to burnout and frustration.

While creating a course can be a smart move for some businesses, the key is in ensuring your processes and systems are set up to support you, and that you’re doing it because YOU want to, rather than because you feel like you have to.

If you’re thinking about creating a course purely for passive income, this episode will help you to question that thought process and decide if it’s really something that you need in your business.

Business doesn’t have to be hard.

Sure, there are highs, lows and times when you need to invest more effort, but with the right systems and processes in place from the start, you can create a more peaceful, sustainable business.

Many women find themselves stuck in a cycle of hard, avoiding what could truly help them, and getting caught in the endless noise of online “shoulds”.

This leads to saying yes to everything, neglecting boundaries, and hesitation in making necessary changes. Instead, they procrastinate, overthink, and chase quick fixes or small wins, rather than doing the foundational work to set things up properly from the get-go.

Correcting those band-aid fixes costs you more time and energy in the long run.

In today's episode, I’m sharing the root problems and patterns I’m seeing, and the biggest challenges holding women back in business.

I want women to value and care about themselves enough to make these changes now because they deserve a better, more fulfilling life and business.

I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately with clients around fear. It’s something that is rearing its ugly head more and more whether it's around fear of spending, saving, or investing money, fear of not keeping up with what others are doing, fear of implementing new processes and software, or fear of hiring - these fears can be paralyzing.

But have you considered what this fear is costing you?

Is it keeping you from building the brand you've always dreamed of?

Is it preventing you from getting the mentoring and support you need?

Is it robbing you of your health and time with your family?

Is it stopping you from hiring the help you desperately need in your business?

Whatever the cost, it's already too high.

Today, I want you to reflect on where fear is holding YOU back in your life and business. What is it costing you? And what small step can you take to overcome it?

I’m so passionate about this because I don't want to see women struggling, living in stress and overwhelmed, playing it small, and making themselves sick - impacting their bodies, cycles, and relationships.

Things can be easier if you face that fear and make the changes that matter.

Knowing where you’re at with your finances and having solid foundations for your business (and life) is so so important. 

I have supported a lot of women over the years as a mentor and seen a lot of challenges in creative, design and service-based businesses and lately, there seems to be this really big focus and push to find more clients…

“How to bring more clients to my business in 5 easy steps”.

“Do this to make 6 figures in your business”.

Etc etc.. these are basic examples I see a lot more that are speaking to the wrong thing in business right now.

What I’m not seeing or hearing as much is a focus on working on their businesses by building solid foundations, and having an in-depth understanding of their finances which is really the thing that’s going to make or break a business. 

It’s a really interesting time for our economy so I absolutely understand this mindset and concern. And sure, as a business you’ve got to make money. 

But do you actually need more clients and add to an already full schedule, or are you falling into the trap of the “shoulds” out of fear and a lack of understanding of where you’re really at with your finances? 

And if you do bring more clients in, do you have the systems in place to make the onboarding process automated and seamless? Because it’s true, time is money. 

In today’s episode, I will share with you the 4 things that are having the biggest impact on cash flow and sales right now, and what you can do to turn that around.

We all face obstacles in our businesses and lose our sense of direction from time to time.

It’s both an inevitable and a natural process.

However, the power is in how we handle these situations.

Do you continue dragging yourself physically, emotionally, and financially through the trenches in hopes that it will sort itself out on its own?

Or do you take control by pausing, reflecting and then creating the mental space to think about each obstacle that’s in your way and how you can gradually start making changes to remove them?

It’s so easy to get disconnected and resentful when things aren’t flowing.

This is where someone from the outside looking in can support you. Someone with the experience to help you remove the stones in your shoe that are hindering your process, your finances, your team culture, and your LIFE!

It’s time to get your business (and life) back into a state of flow.

Not sure what obstacles are standing in your way? This episode is for you.
