June 22, 202667 - From Stuck to Unstoppable: Mindset, Self-Belief and Creating the Change You Deserve with Maria Newman
Ever feel like something's not quite right, but you can't put your finger on what? This week I'm joined by mindset coach Maria Newman - 2nd dan black belt, audiobook addict, and the woman who went from 15 years in corporate to building a business that actually lights her up.
We dig into:
why so many of us stay stuck even when we know we want change
the three things that determine whether you move forward or stay exactly where you are
why one tiny degree off course can quietly take you miles from where you want to be.
We also get into the role of human connection in business (and why AI will never replace it), competing with yourself rather than comparing to others, and why self-care goes so much deeper than bubble baths.
Maria also shares her morning and evening routines - simple bookends to the day that are genuinely worth stealing.

June 15, 202666 - Time Management That Actually Works: Mental Load, Energy & Building a Business Around You with Abigail Langridge
This week I'm joined by Abigail Langridge, founder of It's Your Time, who spent over 20 years as a PA before building a time management business that actually fits real life.
We talk about:
Why clearing your mental load comes before any calendar hack
How to work with your natural energy rhythms instead of against them
Why your diary should be a "moving target" rather than rigid time-blocking.
Abigail also shares her own non-negotiables for managing energy through perimenopause.
If you've ever felt like a fraud trying to "balance" everything, this episode is for you.

June 07, 202665 - Stop Deciding What Your Clients Can Afford: The Hidden Pricing Habit Keeping Self-Employed Women Undercharging
Still undercharging - but no one's actually asked you to? You might be making pricing decisions that aren't yours to make.
In this episode, I talk about one of the most quietly damaging habits she sees in self-employed women: deciding what clients can afford before they've said a single word. It feels like kindness. But it's removing a choice that was never yours to make - and it's keeping you stuck.
I unpack the three layers underneath this pattern - from the empathy that starts it, to the self-protection that sustains it, to the deeper belief that sits right at the root. I also reference my episode on the Expert Blind Spot (episode 64), exploring how our inability to see the true value of what we know is often directly connected to our reluctance to charge for it.
This is a warm but honest episode for any woman who suspects she's been standing in her own way when it comes to pricing - and is ready to look at why.
In this episode:
What "deciding what your clients can afford" actually looks like in practice
The three layers underneath this pattern - and which one is the hardest to look at
Why this habit feels like generosity but functions as self-protection
The connection between undervaluing your knowledge and undercharging for your services
What changes when you let your clients make their own financial decisions
This episode is for you if: You're a self-employed woman in a service-based business who knows, deep down, that you're not charging what your work is worth - but haven't quite been able to pin down why.

June 01, 202664 - The Expert Blind Spot: Why Self-Employed Women Undervalue Their Knowledge (And How to Stop)
The thing you nearly didn't say because it felt too obvious? That might be the most valuable thing you know.
In this episode, I explore the expert blind spot - what happens when you've been living inside your knowledge so long you can no longer see its value. The closer you are to your own expertise, the harder it is to believe it's worth sharing. This episode is here to change that.
In this episode:
What the expert blind spot is and why expertise makes it worse, not better
Why the "obvious" stuff is often the most transformative thing you can share
What the blind spot does to your content, your marketing, and your pricing
The difference between trying to impress and trying to meet someone where they are
A practical invitation to share the thing you nearly talked yourself out of
This episode is for you if: You're a knowledgeable, experienced woman running a service-based business who often second-guesses the value of what you know - and finds it hard to talk about your work with the confidence it deserves.

May 25, 202663 - The Reactive Business Trap: Why Busy Self-Employed Women Feel Stuck, Stressed & Always Behind
Busy but not moving forward? Always responding, never quite directing? That's the reactive business trap - and it's not just a productivity problem. It's a nervous system problem.
In this episode, I unpack why constantly operating in reactive mode quietly dysregulates you - and what shifts when you choose, even in small ways, to get back in the driving seat of your business.
In this episode:
What the reactive business trap actually looks like in everyday life
Why it affects how you feel, not just what you achieve
The connection between forward motion, agency, and nervous system regulation
Why reactive mode is especially common for women who are natural helpers and givers
A simple reframe to help you notice when you've slipped into reaction - and gently move out of it
This episode is for you if: You're a self-employed woman running a passion-led, service-based business and you often feel like you're working hard but getting nowhere. You care deeply about what you do - but the business side leaves you feeling flat, behind, or vaguely anxious, even when things are technically going fine.

May 18, 202662 - Why Your Instincts Are Your Most Underused Business Tool
Do you know the answer - but keep talking yourself out of it?
In this episode, I explore three things that are really one thing: what happens when a driven, capable woman stops trusting herself, and what it looks and feels like when she starts again.
We're talking about why being busy isn't the same as moving forward, why rest is one of the smartest business strategies you're probably ignoring, and why your body is almost always trying to tell you something your brain is too loud to hear.
If you've ever made a decision that looked right from the outside but felt wrong from the inside - this one's for you.
In this episode:
Why activity isn't strategy (and how to tell the difference)
The science behind your morning cortisol spike - and one small thing to try tomorrow
The "lazy" narrative so many of us carry, and the reframe that changes everything
What it actually means to trust your instincts in business
This week's question to sit with: Where do you already know the answer - but you've been talking yourself out of it?

May 11, 202661 - From People-Pleasing to Purposeful: How Claire Callaghan Built a Boundaries-First Business
From Stretched Thin to Strategically Focused (with Claire Callaghan)
What happens when a highly skilled professional stops squeezing clients into every gap in her diary - and starts protecting her time instead?
In this episode, I chat with Claire Callaghan, a chartered physiotherapist of nearly 30 years who has expanded her work to include women's health, wellness memberships, speaking engagements, and corporate masterclasses. Claire shares honestly about what life looked like before she started working with me - the people-pleasing, the fragmented schedule, the limiting beliefs around income - and what shifted when she finally put firmer boundaries in place.
In this conversation, we cover:
Why boundaries aren't limiting - they're actually freeing
The truth about multitasking (and why deep work needs dedicated blocks of time)
How letting go of a "vocational identity" can unlock new business directions
The role accountability plays in actually doing the things you know you should do
Why "just doing it sooner" is often the most powerful business strategy
Claire is co-founder of the Anchor Collective - a membership for women combining physiotherapy, nutrition, and well-being - and is a sought-after speaker at conferences, sports clubs, and festivals.

May 04, 202660 - Why Your First Cold DM Took Years (And Why That's Normal): The Reality of Running a Small Business
Have you ever wondered why cold leads aren't flooding your DMs the way business coaches promise? In this honest, unscripted (and pretty vulnerable) episode, Sue shares the story of receiving her very first cold Instagram DM inquiry - after years of consistent online presence - and why that's completely normal.
This episode is a reminder that social media highlight reels don't tell the full story of running a small business. If you've been measuring yourself against someone else's results, this one's for you.
What we cover:
Why cold DMs are the exception, not the rule
The "trust recession" and how clients are making decisions right now
Why consistency matters even when you can't see it working
How niche, messaging, and ideal client clarity attract aligned inquiries
Why your energy is your most powerful marketing tool
Episodes mentioned: Ep 40 (networking), Ep 54 (give to gain), Ep 55 (business evolution), Ep 58 (exercise as strategy)

April 20, 202658 - Why Exercise Is a Business Strategy (Not Just a Health One)
If you've been feeling flat, foggy, or like you're constantly running on empty, this episode is for you. I’m getting honest about letting my own workout routine drift - and the unexpected impact it had on my energy, my focus, and my business.
This isn't a fitness episode. It's a conversation about the deep connection between physical movement and the inner energy that drives your business forward - the spark, the momentum, the flow state that makes everything feel possible.
In this episode:
Why exercise is about so much more than physical health
The link between movement, mental energy, and business performance
How sleep, stress, and hormones are all connected - and what you can do about it
Why "I don't have time to exercise" might actually be costing you time
The confidence and resilience that comes from simply showing up for yourself
A gentle nudge to start - even if you've completely fallen off the wagon
Mentioned in this episode:
Episode 12: The ONE habit that has the biggest impact on you achieving your goals (and you're already doing it!)
