You’ve taken the courses, bought the planners, followed the strategies — so why are you still stuck? If you’re feeling mentally fried and like nothing’s really working, this episode will help you understand why more tactics aren’t the answer, and what to do instead.

In this honest and gently rebellious episode, I share what’s actually going on when you feel like you’ve tried everything in your business and you're still not where you want to be. Spoiler: it’s not a motivation problem, and you’re definitely not lazy. You’re just carrying too much — and no Canva template is going to fix that.

We talk about the toll of overthinking, the pressure to keep reinventing, and why clarity slips away when you’re overwhelmed and unsupported. I explain why consuming more content isn’t helping (even if your brain loves it) and how creating space to think — rather than stuffing in more strategies — is the missing piece for most solo business owners.

If you’re exhausted from trying so hard, questioning every decision, and wondering if it’s you… this is your reminder that you’re not broken. You’re just ready for a different kind of support.

We solo business owners are a fiercely independent bunch — we figure stuff out, wear all the hats, and keep the wheels turning. But what if trying to do everything yourself is actually slowing you down? In this episode, I’m sharing the hidden costs of DIY-ing your business growth — from wasted time and money to missed opportunities and total overwhelm — and why investing in the right kind of support could be the smartest (and kindest) thing you ever do for yourself.

I’ll walk you through how to spot the warning signs that you’re stuck in the DIY trap, the difference between staying “busy” vs. actually growing, and how simple shifts like listening to podcasts or getting expert support can make a massive difference to your profitability, peace of mind, and long-term success.

This isn’t about scaling to a 10K month or hustling 24/7 — it’s about building a business that actually works for you. Because you deserve more than just survival mode.

As a business coach with over 13 years' experience (and a fair few hard lessons along the way), I’ve seen it all — the “proven formulas,” the overpriced programs, and the subtle ways some coaches make you feel like you’re the problem. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and having an honest conversation about what coaching should actually be, how to spot the red flags, and why not everyone needs a coach (really!).

We’ll talk about the real difference between coaching, mentoring, consulting, and teaching — and how so many so-called coaches are actually just selling cookie-cutter solutions. I’ll share the signs that you might benefit from coaching, the questions to ask before investing in anyone, and how to choose someone whose values truly align with yours.

This isn’t a pitch — it’s a permission slip to make informed, empowered decisions about the kind of support you really need in business… or whether you need it at all.

Being your own boss sounds like a dream — until you’re sat in your slippers wondering what on earth you actually did all day. In this episode, I’m sharing what it really takes to stay motivated, focused, and accountable when you're a solo business owner, and how to stop the faff and start making real progress.

We’ll talk about separating yourself from your business, why setting your own office hours is a game-changer, and how to track your wins in a way that keeps your momentum going. This one’s packed with practical ideas to help you feel more productive (without burning out) and treat your business like the business it is.

✨ You don’t need to be a hard boss — just an honest one.

What does it look like to do business your way — even when that means breaking every rule you once believed in? In this special episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Denise Duffield-Thomas for an honest, funny, and quietly rebellious chat about navigating business, boundaries, and being your full self in public.

We talk about everything from neurodivergence and saying no, to navigating visibility and redefining success on your own terms. Denise shares how she’s unlearning past business decisions, why she no longer overcommits, and the power of creating a business that feels like home — not a performance.

✨ Business gets a whole lot easier when you stop following rules that were never meant for you.

Some days you’re on fire — full of ideas, focused, excited — and other days, you wonder why you ever started your business in the first place. Sound familiar? In this episode, I’m talking about what it really takes to stay motivated in business when everything feels heavy, stuck, or like an absolute waste of time.

We’ll break down the myth of always being motivated, why feeling uninspired is completely normal, and how to figure out whether you’re pushing in the wrong direction. From understanding your personal energy levels to reconnecting with your real “why,” I’ll help you pinpoint what’s not working — and how small tweaks can reignite your momentum.

We’ll talk about the power of incremental action, the joy of simplifying your systems, and why sometimes all it takes to get unstuck is rearranging your office or remembering what lights you up.

✨ When you simplify your business and lead with joy, staying motivated gets a whole lot easier.

Ever wondered if it’s really possible to work fewer hours and still hit your income goals? In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the real truth behind business freedom — and spoiler alert: it’s not what the online gurus are telling you.

This isn’t about flashy £10k months or selling your soul to hustle culture. It’s about you deciding what freedom means and making conscious, strategic choices that support your long-term vision. I’ll walk you through the myths around passive income, the power of saying no, and how to actually reduce your workload without sacrificing the things that matter — like your income, your time, or your sanity.

We’ll explore how to align your business model with your energy, why boundaries are your best friend, and how to simplify your offers so you can finally stop doing things just because you “should.”

✨ Business freedom doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from knowing what to let go of.

If growing your business feels exhausting, chances are you’re building it in a way that doesn’t actually suit you. In this final episode of my four-part mini series, I’m showing you how to build a business that aligns with your energy, your preferences, and your version of success — by playing to your strengths.

We’ll unpack what it really means to choose ease, how to stop doing the stuff that drains you (even if “everyone else” says it’s essential), and why self-awareness is the most underrated business strategy. I’ll also walk you through a simple exercise I use with my coaching clients to help them identify what’s working and what’s not — and how to shift your business to support your life, not the other way around.

This isn’t about laziness. It’s about smart, sustainable choices that help you show up with more joy, more impact, and far more clarity.

✨ When you stop fighting your nature and start honouring it, business gets a whole lot easier.

If I asked you what makes your business truly stand out — beyond your services, beyond your logo — what would you say? In this episode, we’re diving into your unique brilliance and how to embrace what makes you different, so you can attract the clients who are truly right for you.

This is the third episode in my mini series on building a business you truly love, and today’s focus is on you. We’re exploring how your personality, quirks, values, and energy shape the way you work — and how those things are actually your best marketing tools. I’ll explain why being visible doesn’t mean being loud, how to stop comparing yourself to others, and why the quietest parts of you might be the ones that shine the brightest.

This isn’t about being “more professional.” It’s about being more yourself.

✨ When you embrace what makes you uniquely brilliant, your dream clients can’t help but find you.

Numbers don’t lie — but they don’t always tell the full story either. In this episode, I’m sharing how to actually understand your business numbers so they help you build something sustainable, joyful, and profitable — without burning out or feeling like you’re always behind.

We’re continuing the mini series on the building blocks for creating a business you truly love, and this time we’re looking at the financial and energetic side of things: your profit, your pricing, your client capacity, and your energy. If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I just want to make 5k a month” but also “I only want to work two days a week”... then this one’s for you.

We’ll talk about how to reverse-engineer your pricing and delivery so you don’t accidentally build a business that drains you — and how to track the numbers that really matter, from actual income to return on joy.

✨ Your numbers aren’t just financial — they reflect your boundaries, your energy, and your dreams.
