• 334: Why Striving for "Enough" Could Be the Most Exciting Shift You Make in 2026

  Doing "more" is the default setting for most women business owners. We strive for more revenue. More clients. More milestones. More targets. But what happens when we stop reaching for the moving target of "more"... and instead strive for "enough"? What happens if we prioritise balance, freedom, and fulfilment – and set our business goals to accomplish those standards? In this episode of the HerBusiness podcast, we're talking about how you can plan your 2026 not just around 'making things happen' and productivity, but how you can actually use your business strategy to create more freedom in your life. Insights You'll Walk Away With: The true difference between striving for more and striving for enough (and the results each brings) How you can reframe ambition to be fuel that drives you forward, rather than a pressure that drains you. The unspoken influences that create the pressure to constantly do "more" (and where they come from!)

• 333: How to Beat Burnout and Have Sustainable Success in 2026 with Melinda Cohan

  Burnout does NOT just come from doing too much… it comes from doing business in a way that isn't aligned with who you ARE. In this week's HerBusiness Podcast, I sat down with Melinda Cohan, author of Sustainable Success: Thriving in Business and Performing at High Levels Without Burnout. Melinda is revealing how so many business owners are unintentionally running on performance mode – pushing, proving, forcing – when what we truly want is to thrive with more flow, ease, and sustainability. We dive into how you can break free from depletion and step into a new model of success that supports your wellbeing AND your results. What You'll Learn in This Episode:  The deceptive difference between performing and thriving (and why they look so similar from the outside!) The subtle ways women give away their power… and how it makes us fade into the background of our own lives. How to use your natural intuition and your body's signals as guides for decision-making in business. The four levels of consciousness and how shifting from a "by me" attitude into a "through me" attitude changes so much (and why MOST women are constantly in "by me" mode!) The six essential categories of self-care (beyond just the physical and emotional) that reduce stress and keep you in that flow state. Practical ways to create more BEING, rather than more DOING, in your day… even if it's just a few minutes a day. And so, so much more!
