You don’t do it all - and guess what? You’re not meant to.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah and Rochelle, the brilliant duo behind TempoCo, an agency redefining what it means to outsource with heart.

We go deep into why they’re not just another VA agency, how AI is changing the game (but not replacing humans), and why sustainable support should never come at the cost of your sanity.

They’re the team behind the scenes at our Try and Stop Her book launch, and their work is the reason so many businesses - and humans - are thriving.

• How TempoCo went from two VAs to a whole movement

• The real reason most women in biz burn out (hint: they wait too long to ask for help)

• Why VA + AI = the dream team for scaling sustainably

• The Delilah Bot 👀 that’s quietly transforming how their clients operate

• How they’re giving back — not just to Aussie businesses, but to children in the Philippines too

“We’re not a VA agency. We’re a VAI agency — Virtual Assistant + AI, the future is now.”

She wrote her chapter at 9pm the night it was due.
Fueled by baby wakeups, a looping Killers song, and a quiet nudge from the universe, Sophie May brings that soft-yet-savage fire to this episode.

We talk about what it really means to share your story, the importance of letting space exist before filling it, and why not having an offer doesn’t mean you don’t have value (say it louder for the burnt-out biz babes in the back).

Sophie is a self-facilitator, storyteller, and all-round glorious human whose energy is equal parts grounding and electric. You’re gonna want to hang out with her by the end of this one - guaranteed.

• How Sophie almost missed the book invite - then said yes at the perfect moment

• What writing at midnight while feeding a baby can actually produce (spoiler: gold)

• That time her pre-primary teacher turned out to be a fellow author at the launch

• Why rest, space and “nothing” are actually a powerful business strategy

• The unexpected joy of being unprepared on stage - and realising it’s your superpower

“Even in your hardest moments, you're not alone. And when you’re ready - you can alchemise it.”

From photographer to PT to powerhouse speaker - Becky Felstead is the kind of woman who reinvents with purpose and speaks with heart. In this episode, she dives into how her ADHD-fuelled, big-hearted, multi-career path led her to working in mining, where she now delivers life-changing mental health programs to thousands.

We chat about why she said YES to writing her chapter, the healing power of storytelling, and why she walked on stage in front of 1,100 people holding the Try and Stop Her book like a boss. (No big deal.)

This is one of those real, raw, ripple-effect convos that hits hard - and lingers.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Donna Hann - certified high-performance coach, regional business advocate, and woman who literally moved across the country while writing her chapter for this book. Wild.

We talk about what it’s really like to grow a business and a life at the same time — the mess, the mindset, and the moments that make you question everything. Donna doesn’t hold back on her experience juggling motherhood, marriage, a booming dance studio, and a complete identity shift. Oh - and she drops one of the best analogies you’ll hear all week: glass balls vs rubber balls. You’ll never look at your to-do list the same way again.

• What made Donna say “yes” to writing a book mid-business chaos

• Navigating burnout, big life moves, and the pressure to show up on socials

• The dance studio days that led to her becoming a coach

• How to know when to drop the ball (and which ones will bounce)

• Why she’s doubling down on supporting regional women in business

“Some balls are glass. Some are rubber. You have to know which ones you can afford to drop.”

In this episode of Try and Stop Her, I sit down with long-time friend, business whiz, and honestly mental powerhouse, Corrina Rawlinson.

Corrina wears many hats - she co-runs a successful machinery business with her husband, offers business operations support through her own consultancy, and casually manages to build personal AI tools in her spare time (because of course she does). But this convo isn’t just about business. It’s about survival, honesty, and learning to stop sweeping your sh*t under the rug.

We dive into Corrina’s journey of being diagnosed with ADHD while writing her chapter, her history with mental health, and how she almost didn’t tell anyone she was writing a book until a week before launch.

This is one of the rawest convos of the series - packed with laughs, some tears, and a lot of truth bombs. Whether you’ve ever felt like the doormat, the fixer, or the one who just keeps going until you break, Corrina’s story will land right in your gut.

Bookkeeping doesn’t have to be a swear word… and today’s guest is proof of that.

In this episode, I’m chatting with the powerhouse behind My Bookkeeping Coach, Kim Rodney-a numbers whiz on a mission to take the stress, shame, and confusion out of business finances.

She’s one of the co-authors of Try and Stop Her, and inside this episode, she shares the behind-the-scenes of writing her chapter, how it cracked open a new sense of possibility, and why you don’t need to be a “numbers person” to feel financially confident in your biz.

💸 Here's what we cover:

• Why Kim never planned to write a book-but said yes anyway (and what that unlocked)

• The emotional rollercoaster of narrowing down her chapter (too much tech? not enough?)

• Her experience of being vulnerable in a typically “black-and-white” industry

• The actual power of understanding your numbers-whether you DIY or outsource

• A sneak peek into her bookkeeping framework that makes finances feel simple (and maybe even a little fun)

Whether you’re new to business or 10 years in and still dodging your Xero login, Kim’s practical and non-judgy approach will have you feeling way more chill about money.

In this episode, I’m joined by the multi-hyphenate legend herself- Amanda Petra, visibility coach, web designer, podcast host, van-life adventurer, and now, published author in Try and Stop Her.

We chat about her chapter in the book and why writing it cracked open a whole new version of her identity (and possibly two more books 👀). If you’ve ever questioned the life path you’re on or felt like the “normal” way of doing things isn’t working...you need this conversation.

✨ Here's what we cover:

• Why Amanda said yes to writing a chapter without knowing what she’d write

• How she uncovered her true voice during NLP masters training (wild timing, right?)

• The quote that punched her in the gut and helped her find her main message

• Why “living differently” isn’t just a vibe-it’s a daily decision

• Her take on visibility that doesn’t rely on the ‘Gram (finally someone said it!)

You’ll love Amanda’s grounded, real-world take on navigating change, being seen on your terms, and creating your own damn path-whether it’s via motorbike, semi-truck, or barefoot in the forest.

In this episode, I sit down with my soul sister, money coach, and co-author of Try and Stop Her, the fierce and fabulous Kim Kent.

We get into everything-from grief and growth to bank balances and boundaries. Kim opens up about the deeply personal reason she said yes to writing her chapter (and why you shouldn't wait for someone to die before chasing your dream).

💸 Here's what we cover:

• Why Kim’s writing process brought up high-school trauma (yep, 43% English score and all)

• The powerful one-liner in her chapter that still gives her goosebumps

• What it really means to be “wealthy as f*ck”-and no, it’s not just about money

• How your subconscious beliefs are driving your results (and what to do about it)

• The 3 pillars of money mastery that every woman in biz needs to know

Kim brings the truth, the laughs, and the no-BS financial wisdom in a way only she can. This episode is part pep talk, part therapy, part fire-in-your-belly inspiration.

If you’ve ever wanted permission to rewrite the rules-in business, in your career, and in your life...this episode is your permission slip with a post-it note attached that says: “Start now.”

I’m joined by the unstoppable (and often unscripted) Alex Nicolaidis, aka The Money Queen, here to dish out the behind-the-scenes of her powerful chapter in Try and Stop Her and how saying YES to writing it cracked open a whole new layer of personal power and purpose.

🔥 In this juicy episode, we talk about:

• The real reason Alex used to show up in lingerie online (spoiler: it’s not what you think)

• Why she said hell yes to sharing her story in the book-before even finishing the voice note

• The unexpected healing that happened while editing her chapter (tissues may be required)

• Money, self-worth, and why so many of us are lying to ourselves in business

• Her big podcast comeback and what's next in her world

Alex shares it all-from the mindset shifts that led her to scale her business to hiring her first full-time employee, and how she’s helping women build real financial literacy (translation: understanding what the hell your reports are actually saying).

🎯 Her message? Stop living someone else’s version of success. Ask the hard questions. Say yes to your damn self. Then watch what happens.

This is one of those conversations that’ll have you nodding, tearing up, and ready to rip off your metaphorical bra (or real one, no judgement) and show up fully as you.
