Siff Haider was fed up with the lack of problem-specific supplements on the market, had an idea that would solve the problem, spent her wedding savings on making it happen, made $1 million dollars in her first year, and has now seen the business grow 10 fold.

But I’ll be honest, this isn’t just an episode about Siff’s business journey. A few months ago I became obsessed with her tiktoks on the high maintenance rules she lives by to stay low maintenance, the routines she swears by, the hot girl habits she sticks to - and so this is genuinely a case of me inviting Siff on to have a chat all about exactly that. I joked the other day in my vlog that my 2025 aim is to get hot, in all senses of the word, and if that’s something you want to do this year too - this episode is genuinely a great starting point.

Irene Agbontaen is a someone whose career is defined by being the change she wanted to see. Back in 2018, she was becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of clothes on the market for taller women, so she took matters into her own hands and founded TTYA, which stands for Taller Than Your Average. The brand saw monumental success, however, since then, she's curated a multifaceted career for herself just by saying yes.

We’ve done rebranding (planning for 2025), we’ve done discipline (actually sticking to your routine), and so the third and final part of the new year mini series is all about getting yourself in the right mental state to be able to achieve those new shiny goals you set for yourself.

I discovered Maya a few months ago, and loved her approach to mental fitness as something we actually work on & train, compared to just talking about our ‘mental health’ as something we all have. So this episode is essentially a free session with a renowned brain coach, we did guided visualisations (permission to lol at my meditation face), she taught me how to mentally rehearse like Venus Williams & also said the best advice quote I think we’ve ever had in 122 episodes, hope you love it!

Discipline is a weird one isn't it, the discourse is so massively dominated by podcast bros telling you to dig in, and when I googled 'books on discipline', I could barely find one by a woman.

But it’s something should still speak about (even if it makes us seem podcast bro), because when we learn to harness it its hugely powerful, and actually sticking to a routine is so so much more important than creating one. The fact of the matter is that discipline is what actually keeps you going towards your goals when your new year's resolutions are crumpled in the bottom of your handbag.

Today, we’re doing something we have NEVER done before on the podcast - we’re making history by having a returning guest. Back in September, I sat down with Roxie Nafousi to talk all things manifesting - I had a long episode plan, I had questions upon questions, but did we get through them? No.

Anyway, that was one of our most popular episodes of all time - so I asked Roxie if she would come back to give us all the new year pep talk we need, because it’s manifesting season.

As we near the end of the year, my planning mode kicks into high gear, red lights start flashing in my head & I get very anxious if I’m more than a metre away for a planner. On a serious note though, facing 365 days all at once can feel overwhelming, but I truly believe that breaking it down makes it manageable—and honestly, pretty exciting. I’m not one for the whole "new year, new me" thing, but I do love the opportunity a new year brings to reset, realign, plan exciting moments and set achievable goals.

I did a video last year all about how to plan for 2024, and it was one of our most popular to date. So I thought I’d do an updated one including everything I’ve learnt about planning this year & how I use AI to help me!

So, grab your favorite matcha, coffee or tea, and let’s dive into creating our best year yet for 2025 (and beyond)!

Jade Holland Cooper founded Holland Cooper in 2008 with the ambition to bring luxurious British heritage to a modern audience. What began as a small collection of tailored tweed clothing that she sold on a stand at horse shows, has grown into a global brand that now turns over £40m a year. I wanted this episode to be a deep dive into her journey—how she went from country fairs to building an empire, the key inflection points, and what it is about her that’s given her such a mindset for success & viral product creation. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, brand building, this episode is for you.
