Starting the Conversation

In almost 400 podcast episodes I've told a lot of other peoples' business stories, but never my own. Until today. I love hearing peoples origin stories. It's equal parts interesting and affirming to be reminded just how messy and in my case - accidental - the early days can be. 
Tune in to learn about the first business I began age 15, the reason I quit school to be a professional elf (seriously, that's true) and how a hotel breakfast led me to run a business at 17.

Remember that feeling of a new pencil case, a blank notebook and a completely clean slate? That's the exact energy we're bringing into our businesses this September.

Trying to drag yourself back into the zone after time off can often feel like pushing a boulder uphill. Today, we're tackling how to bring that "back-to-school" energy into Q4 - hopefully, you'll start to feel genuinely excited about the months ahead.

Can you actually take a full month off from running a business?  I've taken every August off since 2020. I know that might sound a bit crazy depending on where you're at right now, but for me, it's just how my business operates. In today's episode, I'm breaking down the 4 steps that make this kind of structured time off possible. Spoiler: it's not about luck, it's just intentional planning. 
How did today's episode land with you? If there's anything specific you want me to cover when I'm back in September, drop it in the comments or send me a DM over on Instagram.

Struggle to switch off in the evenings, at weekends or for a holiday? As business owners, it can often feel hard to put boundaries in place which prevent work from spilling into all of our free time (and headspace). 
In today's episode, I'm sharing the exact steps I've taken to finally get my evenings and weekends back. I've found it hard at times to figure out who Alice Benham is, away from Alice Benham Limited, so I hope sharing some of these practices helps you to navigate your own.

I am busier than I've been in a long time..! Between back-to-back launches, brand partnerships, and traveling for work, my capacity has been tested.  
Being busy is part of the journey when running a business so in today's episode I'm giving you my survival guide - a system I've developed over the last few years to help when things begin to ramp up.  As always, I would love to hear your thoughts or ideas for future episodes, in the comments.
