No money, no honey - and money is what makes the world go 'round right? Without it, we can't pay our bills, buy lattes, or enjoy a the disgustingly delicious pleasure of a late night Maccas run. 

We all need money - it gives us the choices to lead a life of our own design. But are we making harder on ourselves than it needs to be? Join Ashleigh for a chat about what she was taught about money as a child and adolescent and how this played as a young adult - and, the elegantly simple ways she's been unraveling those learnings that you too can experiment with - and embrace a new mindset. 

Join the Podcasters Collective to participate in our February Wealth and Abundance Practice.

Ready to raise your voice and have it heard not only nationally, but globally? Join Ashleigh for the first round of the Podcast Start-Up Program kicking off in early February at an introductory price of $397AUD.

Have you ever been around those people who only see business relationships as transactional, where it's all about what someone can squeeze out of you rather than help and support you?

Today we're talking about the difference between the "Get/Give" mindset, and asking some big questions:

• Can we really have our cake and eat it too?
• What kind of economy are you participating in? 
• Do you have to screw people over to make money?

Stay tuned, this is a biggie.

Part of being a paradigm-changer and making the world a better place, is uncovering the darker sides of what's happening in our industries to examine and understand the problems and become a force for solutions. 

Join Ashleigh for a brief episode on how this showed up in the Podcasting and Business Community recently, and how she responded to it.

Have you ever been scrolling through Facebook or IG and suddenly felt your tummy turn in knots, and had the sensation of suddenly being under the microscope with all the world judging you? 

I know I certainly have - and today we're dissecting the beast that is pain and shame-based marketing strategies - and how we can choose to come from a different mindset and philosophy instead.

Are you ready to amplify your voice and be heard globally?

Are you ready to embrace the thought-leader that's been bursting to come out? 

Round one of the Podcast Start Up Program begins on Feb. 7th and I'd love to welcome you to the program. Click here to find out more.

Ever been "put in your place" by someone in your industry, or told you were too much? 

Ever had a secret yearning for more, but it's felt impossible to achieve or even attempt? 

Today we're talking about being "Too Big for your Boots" - Tall Poppy Syndrome. It's rife here in Australia especially - we have a culture that tears anyone who dares to reach for more down. But does it have to be that way? Can we change it? 

Stay tuned for the new look and feel of VA Podcast and hear Ashleigh's stories of feeling inferior, and staying teeny tiny small.

Hello and Happy New Year Podnerds! 

Welcome to episode 047 of the VA Podcast - our first episode for January 2019 and not only is it our first Bizversary, (see noun; business - anniversary, to mark a significant period in business) it's also the time of year that we're FLOODED with "planning for the next twelve months" or, "pick your 'word' for next year" type. 

We're really, indecently not up for that 'round here. 

So, instead today we're getting some tough love from the #fairypodmother herself on the web of lies being woven by those who would proclaim to make you number 1 on the iTunes charts in a week or less for a small fee. 

We're covering:

• Three podcasts that are wildly successful in iTunes because they successfully model three key things
• Do you really want to be number one, or are you participating in another "whose most popular" peeing contest? 
• Three key things you can focus on that will help your show be successful now and forever
• Your KPI's and Purpose of Podcasting, again (I know I know, you're sick of me banging on about it!)

Enjoy this earworm, and return the favour by leaving us a 5-star rating and review in iTunes!

Friends, 

It breaks my heart today to be re-releasing this episode of the VA Podcast and to share with you that my friend, client, supporter and global changemaker, Louisa Tew left this world on Tuesday, December 5th in her sleep. 

Please observe with me, a minute of silence to honour her memory, and then drink in her spirit in a special re-release of her episode on Ethical Outsourcing. 

She will be remembered here as one of our biggest cheerleaders, inspirations, and leader of the fight for equality for women around the world. 

Rest peacefully. 

Welcome to episode 046 of the Virtually Awesome Podcast with your hostess with the mostess, Ashleigh Rae!

You might know them as Energy Swaps or Exchanges, and they are killing small businesses and holding them back from blossoming - so tune in to hear why you need to stop doing them, and smart alternative strategies that will grow your business in the long term.
