    In this episode of Talk Tovey To Me, Jess and Meg walk through a practical framework for future visioning and reverse-engineering your year so that your goals are clear, measurable, and achievable.They explain why goal setting without a defined vision often leads to overcommitment, inconsistency, and constant pivoting — and how stepping into a clear 12-month vision first allows for better decision-making, stronger follow-through, and sustainable growth.They break down visioning into three key areas: health, wealth and career, and relationships. From there, Jess and Meg show you how to translate that vision into tangible goals, reverse-engineer them into six-month, three-month, and six-week targets, and identify the specific actions required to move the needle.Using real examples from service-based businesses, online coaching, and personal growth, this episode provides a structured approach to planning that prioritises focus, sustainability, and long-term success.If you want to enter the next year with clarity rather than chaos, listen to this episode now!

  • 106. Identity & Business: Why Who You Are Shapes the Success You Create

    In this episode of Talk Tovey To Me, Jess and Meg explore one of the most powerful and often overlooked aspects of business growth: IDENTITY.


    Your strategies, systems, and marketing will only take you so far if the person behind them is still operating from outdated beliefs and habits. Jess and Meg share their personal journeys of shifting from “hands-on doers” into business owners and leaders, and how letting go of old roles opened space for greater growth and sustainability.You’ll learn a practical five-step identity framework that they teach inside retreats and coaching containers—designed to help you clarify your desired identity, honestly assess where you are now, and reframe limiting beliefs that hold you back.


    This is a conversation about more than business; it’s about who you’re becoming in every area of life, and how that alignment unlocks the next level of results.If you’ve ever wondered why strategy alone hasn’t created the momentum you expected, this episode will show you the missing piece: your identity.


    Ready to step into the version of yourself that can hold the business—and the life—you’re building? Press play and discover how shifting your identity can unlock growth, clarity, and sustainable success.
