If you're feeling overwhelmed and unsure in your business and you don't know how you're going to make it work then this week's episode is for you.

We're joined by Julia Stapleton,  a marketing coach and strategist at Alchemy of Marketing helping female entrepreneurs start the businesses of their dreams

She has spent the past 15 years running online and offline businesses in a tech industry and balancing the left side of her brain with her creative side and passion for arts and crafts.

Growing up, she dreamed of an art career but life took her on a different path. With her drive for knowledge and constantly growing as a person, she quickly climbed a corporate ladder and was managing a telecommunications company within 5 years of leaving school. 15 years later she acquired the company she worked in and in addition to that, in the same year, started her own marketing coaching business all while raising a very busy toddler.

And that is when the next chapter of her life began.

We had a great conversation and covered:

• How Julia's experience with a brick and mortar business has supported her online marketing business
• The differences between a brick and mortar business and an online business
• The foundational pieces that are needed to run a successful business
• The importance of the personal touch and connecting with your audience
• The importance of clarity through action and market research

Julia also shares with us 2 questions that you can ask yourself when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck.

I would love to hear your takeaways from the episode and please do connect with Julia using the links below.

If you're new to business and you're feeling like you have to be someone different in order to make your online business work, then this episode is for you. 

This week, we are joined by Clare Wild, a business and personal coach who supports quiet leaders to achieve the confidence they need to succeed. 

This was a very honest and vulnerable discussion around what it's like to start and run a business as a naturally quiet, introverted, highly sensitive person. 

We talked about so many different things which I know will help you if you're feeling a bit of a misfit in the online space. 

We discussed:

• The strength and power that can be found in accepting yourself for who you are
• What it means to be a powerful, quiet leader who is also an introvert and highly sensitive. 
• What you might need to add into your day to support you as a highly sensitive, quiet introvert
• What it means to be a recovering people pleaser in the online space
• How you can stand out as a quiet leader
• The difficulties with being visible at the start of your business and how to navigate through it
• The importance of self-trust and finding your way
• The importance of celebration and support

I would love to hear your thoughts on the episode and please, do go and connect with Clare using the links below,

My biggest love is talking mindset because understanding it and shifting and changing mine was the one thing that changed my whole life. 

You will always find me reading more around the subject, supporting clients with their mindset or just spending some time working on my own. 

In this solo episode, I delve deeper into the stories that are running the show; the sneaky ones that you don't even realise are directing your behaviours and actions. 

I talk about:

• how this shows up for my clients and how it could be showing up for you
• more about the Reticular Activating System (RAS) and how understanding more about this amazing part of your brain can help you
• how looking at things with a curiosity rather than judgement can support your mindset shift
• how to raise awareness around your stories and how to shift them

If you're looking for support with mastering your mindset then schedule a FREE session with me. Mastering Your Business Mindset is 50 minutes of pure value. During the session we'll uncover the #1 story which is holding you back from taking up space and signing that next client and you'll leave with the tools that will support you in knowing how to stop your stories from running your business.

This week's solo episode is a vulnerable one as we delve into 2009 version of Kate, her thought patterns, her emotions and her behaviours.

In 2009, I had been teaching for 3 years, we had been living in our first house for the same amount of time too. This year was the year I got married and it was also the year that I found out I was pregnant with Jake.

But I was in a very dark place. I didn't like myself very much at all and I definitely didn't feel satisfied with my life.

In this episode, I read extracts from my diary of 2009 so you can hear and understand my thought patterns and my perspective on life in general.

I then talk through how things changed for me over time and how that has led to the success I now experience and enjoy.  The reason I have a growing, sustainable business is due to the shifts I made in my beliefs and thought patterns all those years ago.

There wasn't one defining moment that led to the changes in my thinking; they were incremental but I quietly worked behind the scenes to focus on changing the way I saw everything because I quickly learnt that if I could do that then everything would change and it did!

Join me on this personal journey so you can see how powerful small shifts can be and how if I can do it, you can do it too.

Do you ever find yourself drawn to do what everyone else is doing in business?

Do you feel that you're constantly following the "shoulds" in business and not seeing the results that others seem to be getting?

I'm so honoured to have my dear friend Gemma on the podcast sharing her wisdom. I first met Gemma in a programme that we were both part of and since then, we have stayed friends and we even coach each other. Every time I have a conversation with her, I leave having learned something new.

In today's episode we talk about:

- The power of true coaching
- How to get back to your true, authentic self
- Toxic positivity and Positive Psychology and the difference between the two.
- How to navigate those first few years in business

Gemma is an accredited Coach, Positive Psychologist and TEDx speaker working with amazing professional Women Leaders and Entrepreneurs who are making a difference using their sensitivities as superpowers. 

After her own journey of aligning her life and business to her sensitive superpowers and studying in Psychology, Mindfulness and Energetics and doing a TEDx she now helps others using the same incredible tools to align their lives and businesses into Authenticity.

Have you ever set goals at the start of the year only to pull back after a few weeks or months?

14th January is known as quitter's day; as the day that people give up on their New Year's Resolutions.  I'm not a big lover of New Year's Resolutions but I do love setting goals.

In this week's solo episode, I delve deeper into why, in the past, you've found it tough to stick to a goal and what you can do to ensure 2023 is your year!

I talk about:
- why going deeper than SMART goals is so important
- the mindset behind setting goals
-  the importance of your values
- why you shouldn't set goals based on 'shoulds' or 'have to's'
- how identity is such a huge piece in setting goals
- why being honest about potential obstacles can set you up for success

During the episode I talk a lot about the book Atomic Habits by James Clear which is a great book if you want an even more detailed look into setting goals and creating new habits.

I also talk about the video masterclass and pdf which accompanies this episode which you can sign up for HERE.
