Resting Biz Face

Well, that was a little bit of an unintentional month off. 

I finished the personal training course.. (yay me!) got a cold or two (boo!) and did a bit of travelling about (ooo nice)… but, did I podcast? Nope.

This week's episode is LISTEN only - I didn't filming it… but it's an EPIC (if I do say so myself) it's a Behind the Scenes as I do some work to mull through some big changes in my business, how to there's a difference between PLANNING, and DOING. 

It's about allowing yourself to have a rest, be inconsistent BUT also thinking about strategy a little bit more, and learning to love what we do again.

I talk about:

Celebration

REST

Planning

Structure 

Drifting 

Mindset 

It covers mindset, social media, planning, and how to shift beyond a MEH.

It's a ramble. It's glorious. 

It's for you if you're after someone who speaks honestly about business. 

Hope you enjoy!

Everyone loves a new system... and I’m no exception.

But this one’s different.

In this episode of Resting Biz Face, I’m talking about the Resting Biz Face Schedule. It's a simple way I’ve been planning my days that’s helping me see how my brain actually works, without trying to fix it.

It’s not about hacks or hustle or ADHD Productivity Hacks (yuk!). It’s about planning, awareness, and rest.
About getting curious instead of critical.

Because sometimes the smartest system needs more mindset than flair!

In this episode of Resting Biz Face, I’m joined by Robin Rice to talk about supporting neurodivergent business owners and how subconscious work, body-based methods, and even hypnosis can help you build a business that feels aligned and sustainable.

Robin is a reformed MLM “boss babe” turned unapologetic solo-preneur — or as she calls it, boss bitch. Robin teaches neurodivergent women how to use their unique wiring as a superpower for more money, more fulfillment, and more joy in business. Her intuitive, body-based methods go deeper than mindset, helping clients thrive by aligning their subconscious programming and nervous systems with success.

In this episode, I’m talking about how we hold the future in our businesses not as pressure, but as possibility. I talk about why the brain’s reward centres light up when we imagine positive futures, and why linking visioning to action matters.

This week I’m joined by Shannon Whaley, PCC-credentialed coach, Certified Mentor Coach, and founder of the Anti-Hustle Business School. 

Shannon has over a decade of experience helping clients grow from zero to multi–six figures—and she does it without the burnout, the bro-marketing, or the pushy tactics that make so many of us want to run a mile.

We dig into:
What it really means to build an anti-hustle business
How to approach mindset work as a genuine tool for growth (not just another thing on your to-do list)
Increasing your rates in a way that feels safe, grounded, and doable, without blowing out your nervous system

Shannon’s approach blends coaching, mentoring, consulting, and training, all designed to help entrepreneurs create freedom, income, and impact on their own terms. This conversation is practical, honest, and full of reassurance for anyone who’s tired of the endless grind and ready for business to feel different.

If you're tired of feeling all over the place with your marketing, this one’s for you. In this episode, I share what getting qualified as Personal Trainer has taught me about building a solid campaign using a concept called periodisation.

Originally used to train athletes, periodisation breaks a big goal into manageable, focused blocks of time. 

I’m using it in my fitness world and now in my marketing world  and it’s already helping me sell more clearly, calmly, and consistently.

You'll learn:

What a macrocycle, mesocycle and microcycle are
How to apply them to a 12-week marketing campaign
Why you don’t need to be everywhere (and what to do instead)
What SMART goals are actually good for
How this is working right now inside Ironclad

If you’re launching a workshop, selling a show or getting your a creative offer out there, this framework might just change the game.

Are you polishing and perfecting before you’ve even written a word? 
Are you planning your perfect business offer but never putting it out there?

That’s the draft-edit cycle and it’s where books, emails, and business ideas go to die.

In this episode of Resting Biz Face, I share five practical tips to help you separate drafting from editing, keep momentum, and stop ghosting your audience while you wait for “perfect.” (Spoiler: There's no such thing)
