This episode covers how to get started when motivation is low, how to keep showing up when it's hard, and simple ways to make change feel easier and more sustainable. Hopefully this episode provides some insight for anyone trying to build better habits and become who they want to be.

    Birthday episode - 7 strategies I've used to scale in the last year (ep 370)

    01/04/2026 | 36 mins.
    What has actually grown my business over the past 12 months?  Today we're talking about refining my team structure and giving clearer direction, to investing in community through events like ON IT.
    I dive into the power of quick decisions (a fast first yes, followed by an intentional no), building strong relationships, and focusing deeply on my area of expertise. I also talk about getting braver in my messaging and allowing my productivity to ebb and flow instead of forcing it.
    If you're looking for more aligned, sustainable growth, this episode is for you.

    Reflecting on my month away - challenges, lessons & would I do it again? (ep 369)

    24/03/2026 | 29 mins.
    What happens to your business when you work remotely for a month? In this episode, I'm reflecting on my recent time away - the highs, the unexpected challenges and the moments that pushed me the most.
    I was asked a lot of questions about my last four weeks spent working remotely in both Bali and Australia, but the biggest one was whether it was worth it and would I do it again?  If you've ever thought about taking a break, making a big change, or just hitting pause on your usual routine, this one might be worth a listen!

    Running my business in an 8 hour time difference - pros, cons & how I've made it work (ep 368)

    17/03/2026 | 28 mins.
    What is it like to run a business with an 8-hour time difference? Today I'm sharing how I've adapted my schedule, navigated communication differently and managed working with my team, whilst spending 4 weeks travelling across Australia and Bali.
    Before this trip, I struggled to find much information about what the pros and cons of an 8-hour time difference would be, so I hope this episode provides an insight into how this can be a strength, rather than a setback.
