June 23, 2026 The Algorithm Hates Me! How To Create Content That Gets Clients
Stop Blaming the Algorithm
Is the algorithm really the problem… or is it just the perfect excuse to stay invisible?
Welcome to another episode of The Wanky Thoughts Podcast!
Today I'm getting stuck into something I've been hearing so much lately everyone moaning about the algorithm. LinkedIn hates me. Instagram's got it in for me. Nobody's seeing my posts. Sound familiar?
I'll be honest, the glory days where you put a post out and the whole world saw it are over and I get why.
But if you're scaling your business and you're terrified to be visible, you don't know what to say, or you're convinced that selling makes you sound pushy and salesy… the algorithm isn't actually your problem. I'm calling it out in this one.
Tune in if you're ready to stop hiding behind the algorithm excuse and finally show up.

June 16, 2026 11. Why You're Not Showing Up (And It's Not Your Fault) with Tim Buckle
You know what you need to do. Get on camera. Pitch your offer. Put yourself out there.
And yet… you don't.
In this episode, I sit down with Tim Buckle from Chimp Management to talk about the voice that's louder than logic and what to actually do about it.
We cover
• Why fear of visibility isn't weakness - it's your brain doing exactly what it's designed to do
•The old stories quietly running your business (and how to rewrite them)
•The 1 in 5 rule that will stop you losing sleep over people who don't buy
•Why selling feels pushy and how to make it feel natural instead

My lightbulb moment:
I used to think the version of me dancing round the kitchen to Miley Cyrus before a sales call was some kind of performance. Tim told me I was wrong. That is you -before your chimp gets in the way.

That alone is worth the listen.

June 09, 2026 10. Throw The Bloody Rule Book Away!
You've studied the strategies. Followed the formulas. Done everything the "experts" told you to do.
And yet the sales aren't coming. The visibility feels forced. And somewhere deep down, you're starting to wonder if you're the problem.
You're not.
The rule book is.
In this episode, I'm sharing the story of a client who was doing all the "right" things and it was quietly costing her sales.

May 12, 2026 9. You Don't Want It Enough (and Other Rubbish People Tell You)
I swapped the car for her kitchen this week, and even blow-dried my hair because this week, I've got a guest!
I met Vanessa Jennings at a networking event a couple of weeks ago and honestly, I could have talked to her all day.
Vanessa is a brand strategist who helps people stop sounding like everyone else.
She's also a Kiwi who moved to the UK at 22, a mum, a former fashion industry lifer, and someone who took five... five — redundancies before finally saying "right, I'm doing this for myself."
In this episode, we get into all of it.
Why it takes us so bloody long to leave jobs we hate.
The "salary handcuffs" (and how I survived on plain pasta with tuna as a weekend treat).
What actually happens when you launch something and nobody buys it.
Why being told "you just don't want it enough" by a coach is one of the most awful things you can hear and why it's also nonsense.
We also talk about AI-generated content (Vanessa is not holding back), why trying to look professional online can completely kill your business, and how the best thing I ever did was just prat about in my kitchen making videos with no plan whatsoever.
If you've ever had a bad month and immediately gone back on LinkedIn to look for a job, this one's for you.

May 05, 2026 8. The Public Speaking Secret Nobody Tells You
Ever felt like your brain is working against you the moment you step up to speak?
I am literally recording this from the car on the way home from a networking event where I've just delivered a talk. And yes, my heart was pounding, my hands were jittery, and that wanky voice in my head was having an absolute field day.
Because here's the thing, I teach this stuff, and I still get nervous. And for a long time I thought that meant something was wrong with me. It doesn't. And in this episode I'm going to tell you exactly why.
I'm talking about why public speaking scares the living daylights out of most people, why your brain is literally wired to keep you small and quiet, and the exact technique I used today mid talk, to shut that inner critic up and get into my flow.
Because true confidence isn't about never feeling scared. It's about knowing what to do when that voice pipes up and tells you you're not good enough.
If you've ever stood up to speak and felt like your brain was working against you, this one's for you.
And if you want to start tackling those wanky thoughts for good, come and find out more about the Wanky Thoughts Club. I'd love to have you in there.

Even that woman you put on a pedestal has Wanky Thoughts
Yes, even that woman making millions, smashing it on Instagram and who speaks at every event you go to.
I know this, because if she's human, she'll have Wanky Thoughts... it's part of life.

But life is about celebrating the small, real wins... because they add up to big successes.

That's what we're talking about today on the Wanky Thoughts podcast.

April 07, 2026 4. You'll never feel ready to do the thing that scares you!
I'm not ready is the sentence that's robbed the dreams of more women than I've had hot dinners.

Despite years of experience, loads of testimonials and positive client feedback, Women worldwide are telling themselves they're not ready.

The truth is, nobody ever feels ready... the brave ones just take action anyhow.

That's what this episode of Wanky Thoughts is all about!

March 31, 2026 3. Why women are still underpaid (and it's not what you think)
You’ve probably heard a lot about the gender pay gap…

But what if the real reason it’s still happening isn’t just “out there” it’s happening much closer to home?

In this video, I’m breaking down the uncomfortable truth about why women are still underpaid and the part no one is talking about.

Because this isn’t about blame… it’s about power.

If you’re:

* undercharging
* hesitating to say your price
* feeling awkward selling
* or constantly second guessing yourself

This video will show you what’s actually going on and how to change it.

Because when one woman raises her standards… it doesn’t just change her income
👉 it changes what’s possible for all of us
