In episode 102, we talked about some really practical strategies that help me feel organised and calm in the busy final months of the year. This time, I want to talk about these final 90 days from a slightly different angle and share five questions I ask myself to maintain momentum in this final stretch of the year. It's not about productivity at all costs, but a gentle approach to working out what's truly important and how I can support myself in this busy period.

Grab a notebook and a pen and have a listen to this short podcast to help you maximise your momentum in the final few months - before you're sitting back relaxing on NYE and contemplating the year that's passed.

Amy Bett is an eternal optimist, founder of multiple businesses, host of the Lady Without Limits podcast and she seems to have energy to burn - which is lucky, because she is also a wife and Mum to three gorgeous girls.

As you’ll discover in this episode, Amy is a Profit First Professional, which means that she is a ninja at helping business owners transform their financial position and reclaim control of their lives. She has guided over 200 successful students in her Money Mastery online program, (including me!) to set up strong financial foundations, master their mindset and and scale their income online.

In this conversation, Amy and I discuss:

• how Amy missed out on her much-longed-for maternity leave to start a business and support their family after her husband suffered a brain injury 
• the challenges of a seasonal business and the shame Amy felt when she closed down her events business after three years
• the evolution from health coaching to helping owners with their cashflow, and what Amy loves about the Profit First method
• choosing between buying a house and investing in professional development, and the advice Amy would give to business owners starting out
• starting before you're ready and the steep learning curve in Amy's recent leap into a new industry
• what raising a teenager has taught Amy about juggling business and motherhood

You can find Amy's website at Amy Bett, and she's on Instagram at @mrsamybett. You can also listen to Amy on the Lady Without Limits podcast.

Welcome to Episode #100! 🥳

It's been a while since my husband, Ben Love, was on the podcast, so I invited him back to celebrate our 100th episode of The Light Seekers' Lounge.

A lot has changed for us as a family (and the world!) since we last recorded an episode together (episode #4, back in May 2020). We have celebrated a number of milestones this year, but celebrating the exciting, shiny moments doesn't mean there isn't also hard stuff that happens alongside it - so we had a real, raw and honest conversation around how we hold that duality of life and the lessons we've learned over the past few years.

In this conversation, Ben and I discuss:

• What's changed for us since we last recorded an episode together, back in May 2020 - Episode #4
• How Ben holds both the celebrations and hard moments in life, and what he's learned from running ultramarathons
• The impact of mindfulness and cutting down on alcohol on Ben's experience of anxiety
• How we have navigated the transition from working together in the same business to running separate businesses, how that's affected our relationship, and what we have found helpful along the way
• The evolution of our business branding
• What it's like being married to a life coach and that rocky patch where I contemplated divorce

Renowned as one of Australia’s leading personal brand photographers, Fi is passionate about working with female thought-leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners to help elevate their brand and amplify their message in an authentic way, inspiring others to work with them.

I'm a big believer in the power of having beautiful brand photos created, especially as a business owner. I often encourage my clients to invest in branding photography and have personally had three branding shoots, so I really wanted to bring Fi on the podcast to talk about why it's important, especially for women to use visual branding to stand out online.

In this conversation, Fi and I discuss:

• Fi's business evolution from wedding photographer to branding photographer and educator
• Why Fi believes in the importance of branding photography and helping women to elevate their brand
• Tips for finding the right branding photographer to work with and suggestions to help prepare for your first shoot
• My personal experience of branding shoots and Fi talks about how often you should have a new photoshoot
• How Fi has juggled #mumlife with raising twins, who are now 14, and how she fits in self-care

Having experienced all the struggles associated with running a small business, these days Fi is obsessed with helping other women in business show up consistently and build a powerful brand, so they can share their gifts with the world, become more visible online and build a successful business they love – one that brings them the freedom they deserve and desire. She offers mentoring and coaching through Shine, her membership community for women in biz, and her signature course Powerful Branding Bootcamp. Fi also offers in-person workshops and events that offer education on branding, marketing and mindset.

When not working Fi’s favourite pastime is hanging out with her family. She is always dreaming up her next holiday adventure, is on a mission to get through the neverending pile of books next to her bed, believes music has the power to change any mood, and will never refuse a glass of champagne.

Do you know what your core values are?

Understanding our core values, and living in alignment with them, can be so powerful. When we know what's truly important to us, it can help us make decisions, give us more self-trust and confidence, mean that it's easier to plan for the future, as well as giving us a sense of peace and wellbeing.

Where do our core values come from? What are the benefits of knowing our own values? Are they permanent? Find out the answers to all these questions and more in Episode 98.

“Values are like fingerprints. Nobody's are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do.” ~ Elvis Presley

Clare Wood is a money mentor, author, speaker and podcaster.

She’s a qualified accountant (a CPA), but she’s not your average bean counter. Clare uses proven and practical money management principles combined with powerful mindset work to support her clients to make more money. She believes everyone has ‘money stories’ that limit their ability to earn more.  And that when you transform your relationship with money, you can rapidly increase the amount of profit that you earn, so that you can create a life of financial freedom and fun.

In this conversation, Clare and I discuss:

• How Clare's childhood influenced her decision to study accounting and her money stories around wealth
• Clare's business evolution, how she's niched and stepped into being a 'money mentor'
• Going from financially struggling to securing a waterfront property - the strategies Clare and her husband used to manifest their home in the dream location (even if not the dream home - yet)
• What 'money mindset' means and how we can start changing our perspectives and stories around money and finances
• The story of becoming an author and Clare's journey to publish and launch her book, 'Intentional Profit'
• How Clare's car accident impacted her life and the lessons she's learned through it

Connect with Clare through her website, listen to her podcast or you can find her on Instagram @clare_wood_coach, on LinkedIn and Facebook. You can also buy her new book, Intentional Profit.

Rowena is a Qualified Intuitive Life coach, empowering women to reconnect with their bodies, navigate motherhood, and overcome perfectionism. Through embodiment and cycle coaching, Rowena helps women embrace their authenticity, find balance and cultivate self-love. 

With a Bachelor in Psychology and Masters in Education, Rowena draws on her education and her experience working with women for over the last ten years to honour and connect tweens to mothers in all parts of life through learning about the significance of rites of passage and their family lineage. 

Rowena is also Mum to three beautiful children, and owns multiple businesses with her husband. 

In this conversation, Rowena and I discuss:

• How we studied together at Beautiful You Coaching Academy, the different ways we've used our coaching skills since, and how business is impacted by seasons of motherhood.
• What cycle coaching is, and how our cyclical nature impacts every part of life
• How the reality of motherhood was so much harder that Rowena anticipated, the inspiration behind her business name and how her family has navigated some big 'Raising Up' moments
• The theme of self-abandonment that has appeared in Rowena's lineage, and healing the motherhood line through her past and into future generations.
• Storing trauma in the body, how Rowena needed to call in the right support to start moving her body and focus on her physical health again, and dancing to get back into her body.
• Needing to give herself permission "to be me again" as the caretaker of the family, rewriting the stories of martyrdom and pleasure in motherhood and being a good role model to our children

To connect with Rowena, you can find her website at Raising Up, listen to Raising Up the Podcast or she's on Instagram @raising_up_ and Facebook.
