In this episode I’m talking about something that I think almost all of us experience at some point… imposter syndrome.

I share some of my own experiences with it throughout my career – moments where I genuinely felt like I didn’t belong, where self-doubt felt crippling, and times where I questioned whether I was even good enough to be in the room. Even at conferences where we got photos with people in my industry and I thought “why am I here? I’m not as popular as them.”

Perfectionism has played a big role in this for me too. For a long time I felt like I was never doing enough, which probably pushed me to constantly throw myself out of my comfort zone and chase trophies.

I also talk about something that has really helped me when those thoughts creep in - something I call “evidence over emotion.” When imposter syndrome shows up, I challenge those thoughts by asking myself what the actual evidence is. Usually I realise that it’s just emotion making me feel that way, not the truth.

Even when I was winning awards, the imposter feelings didn’t just disappear. But the more you do the thing you doubt yourself in, the more that inner critic starts to quiet down.

I even felt this when I became an educator. I remember telling my mentor that I didn’t even know if I was good enough to teach. I was full of self doubt… but I kept going anyway, and eventually went on to win Best Masterclass of 2025. It was the feedback from students that really helped me realise that maybe I was doing a better job than I thought.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re not good enough, like you don’t belong, or like people might question why it’s you… you’re definitely not alone.

Most people experience imposter syndrome at some point.

Just remember - you’re not here to impress anyone. You’re here to share what you know and do your best. And sometimes your best might only be 50 or 60%, because we’re human and we can’t be at 100% all the time.

You are worthy.
You are enough.
And you can do anything you put your mind to.

If you’re someone who is struggling with self doubt, consumed by negative thoughts. This episode is for you.

Running a business looks easy from the outside… but once you’re in it, you realise you’re wearing every hat.

In this episode, I talk honestly about what it really takes to run your own business - from being the social media manager, accountant, admin, photographer, artist, a mum, a wife, (and everything in between), to staying disciplined when no one else is holding you accountable.

I also talk about the middle phase - the quiet part that no one really talks about. When you first open your business, everyone’s cheering you on. There’s excitement and support everywhere. But then it goes quiet, and suddenly it’s just you, your thoughts, and the work that still needs to be done. This is the phase where a lot of people give up - not because they can’t do it, but because it’s uncomfortable, lonely, and challenging. You might be facing setbacks, slow growth, or self doubt, all while still having to show up. This is normal and you’re not doing anything wrong, it’s all part of the process.

Another big part of this episode is social media and comparison. I talk about how easily comparison can creep in without you even realising - leaving you feeling anxious, deflated, stressed, or like you’re not doing enough.

We also dive into why running a business isn’t for everyone - and why that’s okay. The security of employed work, guaranteed income, set holidays, and clocking off at the end of the day is something many people value. But for me? I wouldn’t change this life for the world. I love building something from the ground up. I love that it’s mine. I love knowing I’m not building someone else’s dream - I’m building my own.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Wearing multiple hats and the pressure that comes with it
• The quiet middle phase where motivation is tested
• What consistency actually looks like (and why it doesn’t mean showing up every single day)
• Discipline, self drive, and personal responsibility
• Delegating, asking for help, and outsourcing without guilt
• Social media comparison and protecting your energy
• Self-care, rest, and being kind to yourself
• Remembering that you’re still you, not just your business

If you’re building a business, stuck in the middle phase, or feeling the pressure of comparison, this episode is an honest reminder that you’re not behind - you’re just human.

Raising your prices can feel terrifying - not because you don’t know you should, but because you’re convinced that the moment you do, everyone will leave.

So you sit with the same prices for years. You overwork. You feel exhausted. You tell yourself you’ll raise them “soon”… and never quite do.

I’ve been there.

In this episode of Beyond the Tweezers, I’m sharing how I finally raised my prices with confidence after realising I wasn’t even paying myself minimum wage — and why staying underpriced was actually causing more stress and burnout than the price increase ever did.

We talk about knowing your numbers, when to raise your prices, how to message clients, dealing with fear and client questions, losing clients (and why that’s expected), and why you shouldn’t treat your job as a hobby - it’s a business.

Raising my prices didn’t just change my income - it gave me the space to work on projects like this podcast and future training, instead of being constantly fully booked and exhausted. Being fully booked sounds like the goal, but when you’re not priced correctly, it can quickly lead to burnout.

I now work fewer hours, finish at 5pm, only work one Saturday a month, and finally enjoy running my business again. I now have time to spend with my family, friends and work on the projects that I want too.

If fear has been stopping you from raising your prices, this episode is for you 🤍
