My guest today is Jo Blowfield and she is an absolute powerhouse! In our conversation today, we talk about Jo’s 17 year business journey which has had its fair share of twists and turns along the way. We delve into how Jo navigates the beautiful and crazy mix of raising a family whilst building a business and a little about working side by side with her husband for the past 16 years.

Jo is the founder and director of 3 businesses. Her latest side hustle is a company called ‘Business and Sequins’ and Jo’s goal is to support and cheer other women along their business journey by sharing her experience and training packages.

In this episode Jo mentions my weekly Coffee & Coaching session. It happens every Wednesday at 10.30am (AEST) on my instagram & facebook pages, it’s totally free and I’d like to invite you to tune in!

I'm really thrilled to introduce you to an incredible woman who through a really challenging journey has come out on the other side with so much wisdom to share with the world! Briony Benjamin got the shock of her life after feeling awful for over a year, she discovered she had cancer all through her body. 

As a film maker, Briony turned the camera on herself and began to document her journey in the form of a short video called "You Only Get One Life", which then led on to a book deal!

The book is called ‘Life is Tough and so are you’, and it’s filled with helpful guidance to get you through any life crisis. But more than that, the pages of this book have the wisdom to improve your everyday life. In this podcast, we chat about Briony’s experience, her book and her outlook on life!

To kick off the very first episode of the podcast, I thought it would be polite of me to introduce myself and share my business journey thus far!

I have been inspired by businesses and business owners from a really young age! ​​I’ve built, grown and sold multiple businesses and I now run a healthy 6-figure business that now takes care of itself (thanks to robust systems and awesome staff). I have the freedom to step away from work whenever I’m needed by my family, or whenever I want to take time for myself. But it wasn’t always that way!

I know first hand the challenges of having a young family to juggle. When they slept, I would work. When they cried at the door because I was leaving them with a babysitter, I would well up with tears of guilt. Sound familiar?

I’m married to a typical Aussie bloke, and Mum to our two boys. We live in a seaside town in regional Queensland and love to travel in our caravan whenever we can.

I’m a free spirit with a creative flair. I need to be grounded by nature (the beach is my happy place), creative with art (painting is my meditation) and physically active (dance is where my soul breathes) Being grounded is a continuous ache that if left unattended becomes suffocating. And so I’ve learned to take care of myself by pressing the pause button on a regular basis to practice these things, and as a result I’m a better me, a better Mum, a better wife and more successful entrepreneur.

Helping ‘Mums who are made for more’ grow their own business around the needs of their family, whilst also ensuring that they get the necessary down time to rest and recharge is a huge passion of mine! Why? Because whilst I have achieved great success with my businesses over the years, as a Mum of a young family, it hasn’t always been easy!
