The USP - Online Business Success For Women

In this raw and reflective episode of The USP Podcast, I’m sharing what the last five months of being fully self-employed have really looked like.

From financial strain and endless hours at my desk, to questioning whether full-time entrepreneurship is even for me—I’m unpacking the unfiltered truth behind the Instagram dream. This isn’t a highlight reel; it’s a real-life look at the tension between building a business you love and still maintaining your life, your health, and your relationships.

In this mini episode, I share:

✔️ Why I jumped into full-time business unexpectedly
✔️ What it’s actually taken (mentally, physically, financially)
✔️ The impact on my family and wellbeing
✔️ The beautiful parts, the hard parts, and the questions I’m still asking
✔️ Why structure and sustainability might matter more than full-time freedom

If you're building your business and wondering, “Is this supposed to feel this hard?”—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen now, and remember: success is yours to script!

Are you constantly tempted by the next big thing, the next programme, or the next "quick fix" for your business? You’re not alone—and in this episode of The USP Podcast, I’m sharing my honest, real-time struggle with Shiny Object Syndrome.

As women in business, especially those of us over 40 juggling multiple roles, it’s easy to fall into the trap of jumping from idea to idea, course to course, without giving ourselves the time and focus to implement what actually works. And if we’re not careful, it can cost us time, energy, money, and momentum.

In this episode, I share:✅ What Shiny Object Syndrome looks like in business
✅ The real-life impact it’s had on me (including a wake-up call from my accountant! Shout out to Rhianne 🫶🏾)
✅ How I almost got pulled off track again—and what I chose to do instead
✅ The steps I’m taking right now to manage it
✅ How to assess if a new offer, course or programme is really what you need—or just another shiny distraction
