Can you believe it? The LifePilot Podcast just hit 100 episodes!

When I started this show, I had no idea where it would go. I just knew I wanted to create something real — something that would help ambitious women in their 40s and 50s stop putting their dreams on hold and start being the CEOs of their lives, not just their businesses.

100 conversations. 46,000+ downloads. And countless messages from you telling me how these episodes have shifted your perspective, given you permission, or helped you finally take that next step.

In this special milestone episode, I'm celebrating by taking you behind the scenes to share the top 10 episodes that have resonated most — the ones that sparked the most conversations, the most downloads, and the most "holy crap, this is exactly what I needed to hear" moments.

These aren't just lessons. They're invitations for you to stop waiting for permission and start leading your life like the CEO you were born to be.

What You'll Learn:

•  Why AI tools won't make you rich (but claiming your unique genius will) 
• How to redesign your business around the season of life you’re in (and stop feeling guilty about it)
• How discomfort is actually your GPS to growth (and where you need to go next)
• Why motherhood can be your business superpower through constraints and clarity
• What happens when you hit peak earning and peak exhaustion (and why rest must be part of your strategy)

I'm about to call out a pattern you've been living your entire life, one that's kept you safe, earned you praise, and slowly stolen your dreams.

You're the one everyone calls. The one who remembers the birthdays, manages the family calendar, organizes the holidays, handles the details, fixes the problems, keeps the peace. You're reliable, dependable, the glue that holds everything together.

And on paper, that sounds amazing, right?

Except here's what nobody tells you about being the responsible one: It's killing your dreams. Slowly, quietly, without you even realizing it's happening.

In this raw, honest episode, I'm naming something you've been living with your entire life but have never had the words for. And more importantly, I'm showing you exactly how to break free from it.

By the end, you'll understand why your dreams feel inconvenient, why you can't take real risks, and you'll walk away with the clarity and tools to reclaim your time, energy, and identity, without blowing up your life or abandoning the people you love.

What You'll Learn:

• What “the mental load” really is — and why it’s burning out millions of women worldwide
• The Good Girl Syndrome: how people-pleasing and perfectionism become survival strategies
• Why your business never seems to grow (and what running on leftovers really costs you)
• 5 steps to stop being responsible to everyone else and start being responsible for your own life
• How to set boundaries, protect your time, and build your business like it actually matters

Have you ever looked at your business revenue and thought, "Where the hell did all that money go?"

Maybe you hit six figures this year, or you're well beyond that. But when you look at your bank account, it doesn't feel like a six-figure business. The money came in, but it also went out, and you're left wondering if you're doing something terribly wrong.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you’re probably not doing anything wrong.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth most entrepreneurs never talk about: the five hidden places your profit is quietly disappearing.

By the end, you'll know exactly where your money is going, how to plug those leaks, and how to finally start keeping more of what you earn.

We’re not just talking about your business finances, we are actually focusing on you becoming the CEO of your entire life. 

What You'll Learn:

• Why the average small business only keeps 7-10% profit (and what that means for your business income)
• The digital subscription monster: how $1-3K/month disappears in tools you barely use
• Why you need to set aside a much bigger percentage of of every dollar you earn for taxes (and how to do it without the stress)
• What lifestyle creep is and why it's keeping you trapped on the hamster wheel
• How the blurry line between business and personal expenses is robbing your cash flow
• When investing in growth becomes a gamble instead of a strategic move

There’s no doubt we all love a big juicy goal setting session at the start of the year, one which wraps up all our hopes and dreams over the next 12 months.

You write them down with the best intentions, feel motivated for a few weeks to go after them, then realise it’s already the end of the month and you’ve done nothing about them?

You’re not alone. Research shows most people give up on their goals by day 23.

But here’s the good news: 90 days is the sweet spot. It’s long enough to create real momentum, but short enough for your brain to actually stay motivated and focused.

90-day sprints work so powerfully, and I go deep into why combining goals with intentions is the unfair advantage most people miss in this episode of the LifePilot Podcast. 

This isn’t about hustling harder, it’s about aligning with brain science, building habits that stick, and creating real progress quarter by quarter.

Whether you're all energised and excited to have an amazing final quarter in 2025 or listening to this later, this framework will help you finally turn your big dreams into consistent action.

• Why your brain struggles with year-long planning (and the science behind the 90-day "Goldilocks Zone")
• How the Fresh Start Effect + Parkinson’s Law make deadlines work in your favor
• Why we underestimate what’s possible in 90 days (but overestimate daily output)
• The difference between goals (the “what”) and intentions (the “who + why”)
• How to use if–then planning to create automatic momentum instead of relying on willpower
• A practical 90-day framework to help you set, track, and actually achieve your top 3 priorities

Do you ever feel like you’ve got all the knowledge, tools, and resources at your fingertips — yet you’re still stuck, not taking action?

We live in an age where AI can write your business plan, design your logo, draft your copy, and even map out your marketing strategy in minutes. But here’s the paradox: entrepreneurs now have endless ideas and zero clarity on what to actually do next.

The truth is, knowledge isn’t your problem anymore. Action is.

In this episode of the LifePilot Podcast, I’m unpacking the real reason so many entrepreneurs stall and how to break free from information overload by focusing on the one thing AI can’t replicate: you. Your unique skills, lived experiences, and personality are your unfair advantage. That’s where the money is, and that’s how you start building a business that truly pays you to be you.

What You’ll Learn:

• Why we've shifted from "I don't know how" to "I know 50 ways how" (and why that's paralyzing us)
• The real difference between the entrepreneur with 47 courses and zero revenue versus the one making six figures with one offer
• How to stop asking "how do I" and start asking "who can help me do this"
• Why your competitors aren't out-learning you - they're out-implementing you
• How I built The Suitcase Entrepreneur using my unique skillset (and how you can do the same)

Do you ever feel like your energy is all over the place, your brain has gone offline, or you’re suddenly more irritable than usual? You’re doing your best to juggle work, family, and life… but something just feels off?

I only recently realized I’ve likely been in perimenopause for two years, and connecting the dots was a total game-changer. Some days I’m on fire, focused, and energized; other days, brain fog and fatigue make even simple tasks feel impossible.

Navigating this transition while running a business and life has meant rethinking priorities, giving myself grace, and learning to show up differently. It’s not just about getting through the day, it’s about understanding what your body and mind need so you can actually thrive.

Whether you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or somewhere in between — this episode shares what I’ve learned, the shifts that help, and how to start showing up as the CEO of your energy, health, and life.

What You’ll Learn:

• The real symptoms of perimenopause (there are up to 100!) and why they're often misattributed to other causes
• How perimenopause affects your business performance, decision-making, and energy levels (and what to do about it)
• Practical strategies for restructuring your business to accommodate energy fluctuations
• Why perimenopause is a team sport and how to bring your partner and family on this journey with you
• Why this transition can actually be your entry into a powerful new phase of life
• The importance of normalizing perimenopause conversations in entrepreneurial spaces

Do you ever dream about having multiple homes around the world but assume it's only possible much later in life?

For quite some time, this was just a dream written on our Life Canvas. Today, we’re holding the keys to a three-story villa with ocean views and rice paddy fields stretching endlessly beyond what will be our future home.

This is what happens when intention meets opportunity and how a casual walk down a street can completely accelerate your long-term vision.

So in this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how this unfolded, from the moment I spotted construction happening down the road to negotiating lease terms, hiring lawyers, and setting up what we're calling our "Freedom House."

What You’ll Learn:

• How we navigated property systems across countries and how Bali's long-term lease system opened doors we didn't expect
• The exact decision-making framework we used to evaluate properties and why building relationships with landlords mattered more than negotiating price
• What it actually takes to establish life in a new country and why giving yourself 2+ months to find your rhythm is non-negotiable
• The business foundation that made this move possible and how location-independent income, homeschooling plans, and remote systems created our freedom
• Why we're turning our villa into a "Freedom House" for monthly rentals and business intensives (and how you might experience it yourself)

What if becoming a mother was the key to unlocking your most efficient and profitable business model? 

For many entrepreneurs, having children feels like a limitation on their business dreams. But what if it could actually be the catalyst for creating something better?

I first met Instagram marketing educator Elise Darma years ago when we were both digital nomads in Portugal. It's been inspiring to witness her journey from working 8-10 hour days to running a profitable business in just 3-4 hours a day while pregnant with her second child.

In our conversation, Elise shares the messy truths, the systems that saved her sanity, and how she built her seven-figure business while intentionally choosing to slow down and design around her family life. 

If you've ever wondered "Can I really do both — motherhood and meaningful business?" this is the conversation you need to hear.

• How Elise redesigned her business after her first baby and made more money while working way less and take months off at a time to enjoy family travel 
• The role AI now plays in her business (and why she refuses to outsource her humanness to a bot)
• Why she believes quiet seasons in business are not failures, but fertile ground for future growth
• The non-negotiables she set for herself to balance motherhood, healing, and business
• Why she’s preparing for baby #2 with less pressure and more systems than ever

Do you ever feel like you're doing everything "right" in your business but nothing's moving forward? 

You're creating offers, having conversations, showing up consistently, but it feels like there's an invisible block between you and your goals?

I just lived through exactly this for two months in Bali. Despite working on the business and having potential clients express interest, nothing was actually moving forward.

So in this raw and real episode, I share how I navigated this holding pattern without spiraling into panic and what mindset shifts actually created the breakthrough that followed.

• Why I trusted my "cellular knowing" while potential clients said "yes soon" (and how this deep trust changes everything)
• The energetic difference between "chasing" clients and "calling them in" (and why one repels while the other magnetizes)
• How simple daily mantras like "I love money and money loves me" created real abundance 
• Why maintaining your boundaries during quiet periods actually increases client attraction (counterintuitive but powerful)
• The "soft focus" practice that lets you hold your vision lightly while staying present to what is

Do you ever feel like you're working harder than ever but your business isn't gaining real traction? You're creating content, putting in late nights, but it feels like you're throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks.

Welcome to Amateurville. The good news? You can decide to turn pro anytime you want.

In this episode, I revisit an article I wrote back in 2017 about stepping out of amateur mode, updated with fresh perspective from my current growth phase. I break down the three core differences between amateurs and professionals, and share why nobody's going to give you permission to turn pro except yourself.

What You'll Learn:

• Why I invested $5,000 in a 12-week program and show up to 5AM calls (and how this mindset shift changes everything)
• The three core differences between amateurs and professionals that separate those who succeed from those who stay stuck
• Why 90% of people read great books but never implement (and how to be in the 10% who do)
• The power of becoming a "leading learner" and why you don't need to be an expert to add massive value
• How micro habits like 4-minute meditations and daily walks create ripple effects across your entire life
