23 min - 72: Your Guide To Setting Boundaries In Business
Boundaries aren't just for personal relationships. They're for business too. Trouble is, many of us business owners fail to establish any kind of boundaries and as a result, we end up resentful and burnt out.
We say Yes to way too much and this is where the wheels fall off.
Today's episode is all about how to set boundaries in your business so that clients respect your time and know your limits.
Because the truth is, you CAN say No and still open the door to an abundance of opportunities, even if it feels like you're going against the grain of how one SHOULD run a service-based business.
If you've ever felt like your business is starting to drain you, this episode will give you the tools to get back on track and leave clients with a sense of respect for what your stand for and how you operate.

34 min - 66: Signs You've Built A Frankenstein Business That Is Taking Over Your Life (and Your Love for Business)
Could you be building a Frankenstein Business without even realising? That is - a business that has taken on a life of it's own, and perhaps grown too big that you as the owner feel completely out of control, exhausted and ready to throw in the towel just to feel some relief!
Every business owner hits a point in their journey where the workload seems to move beyond our reasonable human capabilities, and the truth is, most of us secretly love it!
We're wired to be busy. To hustle. To push through no matter what it takes. But what happens when the hustle starts to hurt and instead of feeling driven to keep going, we feel drained, de-motivated and ready to quit the beast once and for all.
Hold it right there!
In today's episode we reveal the signs you might have built a frankenstein business and we're sharing ways you can course correct, save your sanity and still remain super profitable.
Let's put you back in the driver's seat so you're in control and steering the ship - not the other way around!

Knowing what we know now, what would we do differently?
