Messy Business

• Which Superpower Kirsty and Sarah most want to have and why!
• How we can access positive feelings of courage, joy and self-belief with our thoughts.
• Why we never question wigs in the courtroom or ott pilot uniforms.
• The power and freedom of letting go of other peoples judgment, response, or reaction to our actions and a simple phrase to help you with that!

The Messy Business podcast is all about realness and the human side of running a business. This week Kirsty and Sarah are definitely leaning into all the sticky, tricky stuff! They discuss fear of rejection, people-pleasing, shame, vulnerability, and their personal experiences of discrimination and othering.

Listen in to find out:

• Why Kirsty and Sarah are so excited about the launch of their next joint project together and how you can be part of it! 
• What a real-time gratitude practice looks like live on the podcast!
• What happened when Sarah decided to call out one of the biggest Fitness Trainers on Instagram for discrimination and bullying.
• How Kirsty's weekend Glamping experience was super-special.
• The impact of people-pleasing on our authenticity, and standing for what we believe in.

It's an emotional one folks!

We'd love to hear from you about anything that resonated in todays episode. Your experiences of discrimination or rejection, or maybe you struggle with people pleasing too (we can't be the only ones!)  Send us a DM over on Instagram and we'll give you a shout-out on the podcast next week.

• How Sarah ended up sharing her current mental health struggle live on the pod.
• How Kirsty's business provides her with sanctuary and mental health support. 
• Why people continue to underestimate the challenges of being a business owner.
• Why we're not prepared to do what it takes to achieve the success we say we want.

Messy Business is back and as promised it’s packed full of our stories and escapades both on and off Mount Snowdon including the intimate details of the physical and mental aftermath of pushing ourselves to the limit!

There are so many parallels between climbing a mountain and running a business and Kirsty has probably thought of all the metaphors possible (surely there’s got to be one for black toenails too Kirsty?!)

Listen to the full episode to find out:

• Why Kirsty wants to take all her clients up a mountain.
• What we can all learn from Clive the mountain guide and his relationship with his work.
• The powerful moment when Sarah met an old acquaintance in a coffee shop.
• When only Dory from Finding Nemo can get you through those difficult moments. 
• How to unlock personal and business growth through totally unrelated challenges and experiences.

And Dirty Business is back this week with a Sarah versus Kirsty about deconstructed food dishes. Have a listen and vote in our Instagram Stories, who is right and who’s got egg (or maybe it’s mashed potato) on her face!

We’re not even sure how this week's Messy Business episode managed to get recorded, let alone edited and ready in time for release!

Listen in to hear about why we were so sleep-deprived, emotionally hungover, and at risk of falling out with each other over putting people in boxes. 

And all from the back of Sarah’s campervan (a whole new level of messy!)

Listen to the full podcast episode, to find out:  

• Why we need to pay attention to the divine timing of big business decisions.
• When we think we’re stretching our comfort zone and we’re actually not!
• Why we need to constantly question the ‘right way’ before simply accepting the status quo. 
• How we almost fell out over the labels and harmful narratives we attach ourselves to. 
• The power of reclaiming and celebrating our unique and innate ways of being.

We would love to hear from you about your experience of labels, have you rejected a label you once attached yourself to, or even reclaimed it? Write to us at [email protected]
