How are you showing up in your life and business today?

I’m chatting with life enthusiast, entrepreneur, and most consistent ‘shower upper’ Anna Richards. Anna coaches women to show up, speak up and stand up. Even on the days when she doesn’t feel like it, Anna shows up online unapologetically and with authenticity.

In this episode, Anna is giving you your daily reminder to show up just as you are. You don’t need to fake it and put on a smile, just show up and be honest about what you’re going through and how you’re feeling and your audience will be magnetised to you.

When you can bring all of yourself to the table in a bold way, success and sales will follow. People buy who you are and not what you do.

Anna started blogging in 2011 and found a love of storytelling. From there she has connected with people all around the world and grown her business. We talk about Anna’s boundaries, how to handle negativity online, and embracing every single day.

Amazingly, Anna registered for a triathlon that was in 33 days before she even knew how to swim! The next day, she jumped in a pool and started practising. Not only did she complete the triathlon, but she has also gone on to compete in 8 triathlons and 2 half iron man competitions! She’s passionate about pushing herself further and she’ll inspire you to look at your own comfort zone today.

Anna reminds us that life is not a dress rehearsal. We’re here to live boldly, unapologetically, enthusiastically, beautifully and abundantly. Stop waiting for ‘one day’ and embrace your life today.

I’m chatting with Jenny Hardman today about embracing tree change and how she and her husband, James, moved from corporate Sydney to country NSW to pursue their vineyard dreams. 

 

We talk about the ins and outs of what the tree change has looked like, the highs and lows of taking on a 1868 heritage listed property and the huge amount of work required to turn the property into an airbnb. 

 

Jenny and James still have big dreams for the future. They plan to open a cellar door alongside their newly planted vineyard and we talk about how they are navigating the path toward their goals.

 

Many people dream of living that country life but actually taking the plunge is a whole other story. Jenny says that her biggest lesson has been finding the right people to help them on their journey. Running both a wine business and airbnb cottage, Jenny also talks about the importance of doing your research, solid marketing and building a strong network.

Today’s guest is Erika Cramer (Erika from America!), aka the Confidence Queen talking about all things confidence.

Erika is a full-flavoured, spicy inspirational speaker and mentor to thousands of women across the globe. She connects with an engaged global community and shares with tens of thousands of women on a daily basis to help empower, encourage and inspire them to step into their confidence.

In this episode, I chat with Erika about how the Queen of Confidence started as her alter shego and her business journey from the Queen of Curves to the Queen of Confidence. Erika is radically honest about her life and shares how a decent dose of trauma, combined with a ‘shower wisdom’ moment in December 2018 launched her into unbelievable business success.

Erika shares her wisdom about how she stepped into her greatness, the tactics she uses to deal with her inner critic and the power of journaling.

Erika played a big role in my courage to be openly public about alopecia both professionally and personally, and I have no doubt her energy, beaming vibes and laughter will help shake up your fear and get you inspired to start stepping into your confident alter shego.

Erika fills up my cup and I know this conversation will do the same for you.

Going into the holiday season, there’s a tendency for our calendars to be completely filled up with events - work parties, family gatherings, social events… it can be a lot to keep up with! I’ve decided that I’m doing Christmas a little differently this year and I’m talking today about how I’m being intentional to avoid overgiving and burnout this festive season. 

Often we push ourselves to the absolute max to get everything done and be everything for everyone. After a huge year in business, it can feel like we fall into a heap on holidays. And what should be time for rest and recuperation becomes a season of even more busyness, stress and obligation.  

So today I want to encourage you to take the pressure off. Look realistically at what needs to get done and take the time to think about how you want to enjoy your holidays. I share the plans I’ve made for Christmas this year and how I’ve been very intentional about who I’m seeing and what I’m saying yes to. 

You don’t have to do everything and setting boundaries is a big part of making sure that you’re able to show up with the right energy. Think about what’s important to you, how you want to spend your time and be intentional about doing it. And most importantly, enjoy your holiday season!

We are coming up very fast to the last few weeks of 2022 so today I want to explore how I go about preparing for the year ahead. 2023 is set to be a really big year for me but also one filled with loads of creative space. In this episode, I’m sharing how to make 2023 your best year yet in a very intentional way. 

To start preparing for 2023, I sat down to think about what I want to be doing more of and what I want to be doing less of. It’s such a simple exercise, yet so powerful to discover the tasks that are really pushing the needle forward in my business, and which tasks aren’t. I do this on the business front but also for my personal life to be really intentional about creating my absolute best life.

I talk about crafting time in my calendar for the things that are important to me. From dinner parties to travel, time with family and prioritizing self-care, I share some of the different ways I’m structuring my weeks in 2023 to show up as my best both for my business, myself and for the people around me. 

If you’re a traveler, you might be intrigued, maybe shocked, by my new rule of travelling without my laptop charger. When the battery runs out, work is done! I share how this has been going and how it creates intentionality to give my all during work time and recharge my own batteries. 

I also talk about my digital vision board and why I love setting big goals, thinking about the life I want to live and seeing those dreams become a reality. I encourage you to explore intentionality in your own life and think about You can make 2023 your best year yet.

This year I’ve placed a huge focus on taking time to have bigger conversations, meet new people, and experience new things. I’ve travelled, I’ve been on retreats, I’ve taken time out to ask myself deeper questions and be present. For me, it’s been about giving myself the space to really unpack and discover how I can make this life the best it can possibly be.

 

So today I’m talking about the magic of space and giving yourself permission to have more space in your life and business. I’ve recently relocated from the city to a regional town, which feels so spacious but today I’m not just talking about creating a physical space for yourself. I’m talking about the bigger picture where we’re able to choose how we want to design our lives and businesses. 

 

In this episode, I share some of the thoughts I’ve been having about designing the life I want and some of the ways I’m creating space to show up as the best version of myself on a personal and professional level. To me, that means removing some things that aren’t serving a purpose for me anymore and being in that uncomfortable space of percolation. 

 

As business owners and business leaders, we have the opportunity to take stock of how we're doing things and evaluate whether we need to subtract things in order to move forward. Removing things that no longer serve you creates the space to let new things in, and to grow bigger and get better. I talk about what this looks like in my business at the moment in terms of my schedule, my workflow and the tasks that will really be pushing the needle forward. 

 

While you’re listening, think about what are the things that you can let go of that are no longer serving you. And where can you give yourself the time and the space to be creative?

Today’s episode is all about self-doubt. I’m not talking about those little niggly voices we normally associate with self-doubt. I’m talking about looking to the future and wondering if you can make your dreams a reality.

 

I share how the time I spent overseas over the past six weeks has given me the space to think about my business and where I want to go next. I was invited to speak at a retreat in Spain and it was both wonderful and discombobulating. Talking about my alopecia journey, how I’ve built my seven-figure business and how I’ve leaned into self-love rather than self-loathing was incredible but it was the impact on the audience that made me rethink absolutely everything.

 

I reveal how since that event, I’ve started offering coaching sessions and speaking gigs and the response has been incredible! However, the idea of being more visible fills me with dread - I’m sure it does for you too. But truth be told, it’s actually a little bit exciting to be super visible and to get those dreams made into reality.

 

So in the episode today I discuss how I confront and wrestle with self-doubt and what this has looked like for me.

 

If you’ve got the negative voice that is yelling “why would anyone listen to me”, I’m here to tell you that that voice is not going away, it’s just a matter of seeing it for what it is - a load of junk.

 

I’m pushing through the self-doubt and sharing my story so that you can grow your business, your life and your self-love.

 

What is that one thing you can do between now and the new year that pushes you out of your comfort zone and brings you one step closer to living your dream life?

I’m joined today by the fabulous Donna Hann, who runs a business coaching business and is host of the inspiring podcast She’s in Business. Donna’s work empowers and supports women, primarily Mums, who either want to reshape their existing business or start a business from scratch without burnout. Essentially, she helps female entrepreneurs from burnout to thriving through private and group coaching, speaking and workshops. What a superwoman!

 

Given the last two years, burnout is really front of mind and Donna shares her journey into and through burnout. This is Donna’s fourth business - she has such a wealth of knowledge to draw on. We discuss the challenges when your family doesn’t quite get your business and the ways she navigated her marriage when her third business led to burnout.

 

Donna also shares with us the beauty and upsides of working in a regional town, and how she serves her client remotely, which allows her to work with women as far away as Scandinavia!

 

In our conversation, Donna shares that it’s really about finding what lights you up, and then putting the business skills around that. We also discuss intentionality and the value of personal and professional development.

 

The juggle of parenting is real, and Donna shares such a grounded, realistic and inspiring perspective on how you can run a business, support your family and find pockets of time for yourself.

 

Whether you’re a mum in business, thinking about children one day or just finding the juggle of small business all too real, this conversation will provide you with some inspiring gold nuggets to charge your superpower!

My guest on today’s show is Melissa Browne - she is an ex-accountant, an ex-financial advisor and an ex-working till I drop businesswoman! She’s my kind of lady and had the privilege of talking to her about finance.

 

I know - we all hate talking about money, but it’s so important! As creatives, putting our creative and business minds in unison to build something that’s thriving, profitable and sustainable not only builds wealth for our future selves but it creates opportunities to be even more creative.

 

And if there’s anyone to help us, it’s Mel. Mel shares the story behind the impetus she had for selling her accounting business, and how she came to launch a business that helps women become financially empowered and financially well in both their finances and in their businesses.

 

Creatives often think of themselves as bad with money, but Mel encourages us to see how that is BS. Mel shares her observations that creatives are often incredible with money and business because they bring their innate creativity to cashflow, profit and finding innate solutions. She encourages us to break the money story that if you’re creative you’re not good with numbers.

 

We also talk to Mel about how she came out of her introverted shell to be her unique self in front of the camera to grow her business. Mel is now a video powerhouse, and she shares her tips around batching, and how she makes it an enjoyable and productive experience.

 

Mel also reiterates that is so important to get your business foundations right. If you’re relentless in getting the basics right, then you get the freedom to play and be super creative off that foundation.

 

I know you’re going to love this episode - dive in!
