In this episode of The Joy Work Show, Diane is joined by accountability strategist Toni Addinall for a grounded conversation about progress, priorities, and building a business that fits real life.

Toni shares her journey from a successful corporate career into self-employment, and how accountability, mindset, and support became essential as she navigated business growth alongside motherhood and family life.

Together, Diane and Toni explore what accountability really looks like beyond pressure and productivity, the challenge of balancing ambition with capacity, and how prioritisation and structure can support consistent progress, without losing joy along the way. All with a little sprinkling of the universe, intuition and belief.

This episode is a thoughtful listen for solo business owners who want to move forward steadily, honour their responsibilities outside of work, and enjoy the process of building something meaningful.
