Ever feel like you're spinning your wheels in your business? Like you’re working hard but just not getting anywhere? Or maybe you’re questioning if this whole thing is still right for you. You're not alone. In today’s episode, we’re going to dive into those tough moments where everything feels a bit too much.

Fiona Killackey shares three powerful questions that could change how you see your business, your life, and maybe even yourself. These aren’t your usual “how to get more done” tips. She’s talking about questions that help you hit the reset button, figure out what’s really going on, and decide where you want to go from here.

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming up:

• Is your idea of success actually what you want? Or is it time to rethink it altogether?
• What’s going well in your life right now? It might sound simple, but taking a good look at this could be a game changer.
• Are you really putting in the effort that counts? Sometimes, we need to ask the hard questions about what we’re actually doing versus what we think we’re doing.
• And finally, how do you start making real change without feeling overwhelmed by it all?

Some days are just harder than others, right? 

Those days when it feels like nothing’s flowing, and everything is a struggle. Fiona Killackey gets it. In today’s episode, she talks about those tough moments when motivation is lacking, and productivity seems impossible.

Fiona shares why it’s okay to pause and a personal story about giving herself permission to walk away and return when her energy was right.

You’ve probably felt guilty when you're not in the right headspace for your best work. The truth is, aligning your energy makes all the difference. When you tune into your natural rhythms, you’ll be more productive and feel more authentic in your work.

In this episode, Fiona discusses:

• Why stepping away can sometimes lead to breakthroughs.
• How understanding your energy cycles can help you plan your work and life in a way that actually feels good.
• Simple tips on how to make your energy work for you (instead of fighting against it).

Ever feel like your business is in need of a little spark?

In today’s episode, Fiona Killackey dives into a topic that’s been on her mind lately. It’s easy to get stuck in the daily grind and forget why you started in the first place. But what if you could reignite that passion and appreciation for your business? That’s exactly what’s happening in this episode.

Fiona shares something that truly inspired her recently—a book called The Flamingo Estate. It’s a coffee table book, but it’s way more than just a pretty piece to decorate your space. It's packed with stories and insights that have made Fiona look at her own business in a whole new light.

Here’s what Fiona will explore today:

• The importance of loving your business—and how to get back to that spark, especially on tough days.
• The story behind The Flamingo Estate book and why it’s not just about the aesthetics (though, trust me, it’s gorgeous).
• How nature, community, and real human stories are at the heart of any successful business—and how you can bring these elements into your own brand.
• Fiona’s personal reflections on the book’s lessons, and how they’ve made her rethink her approach to storytelling in her own business.
• Why telling your story in a genuine, real way is one of the best things you can do for your business.

If you’re feeling like your business has lost a little of that magic, or if you need a fresh perspective, this episode is for you.
