    130: #130 How to Simplify Your Offers so They Actually Sell
    2025/05/08
    Welcome to Unstuck formerly Life In Business!

    If our offers are confusing us, they are definitely confusing my audience. And confused people do not buy. Today, we’re talking about how to simplify your offers so they actually sell. Because, let’s be honest, this is the whole point of being in business, right? It’s not just for the sake of it; we're here because we want to support people, but we also want to make money. There’s nothing wrong with that.

    I think the real reason we complicate offers comes down to fear. A lot of it is fear. A lot of it is imposter syndrome. A lot of it is trying to please everyone. And when we try to please everyone, we end up pleasing no one, because how can 10 different problems be solved by one product or service? Sure, there are nuances to every problem we solve, but if they’re completely different things, it gets messy.

    Simplifying our offers means more clarity, more focus, and better sales

    129: #129 Why You're Not Broken (You're Just Ready for Something to Change)
    2025/05/01
    Feeling flat, foggy, or like your business should be further along by now? You’re not broken — you’re just stuck. And that’s okay.

    In this episode, I’m gently calling out the myth that something has to be wrong with you to want change. Spoiler alert: nothing’s wrong with you. You’ve just reached a point where the way you’re doing things doesn’t feel good anymore — and that’s your sign to pause, reflect, and gently shift direction.

    We’ll talk about how to spot the (surprisingly sneaky) signs that you’re stuck, why throwing more “solutions” at the problem won’t help, and how a series of 1% tweaks can get you back into momentum — no burnout required. Plus, I’m sharing what’s behind my own rebrand and how I’m navigating change in real-time.

    If you’re craving more clarity, calm, and connection in your business — this one’s for you.

    ✨ You don’t need fixing. You just need a new way forward (on your own terms).

    128: #128 What To Do If You're Feeling Stuck As A Solo Business Owner
    2025/04/24
    Feeling stuck in your business, but not sure how to get out of the fog? You’re not broken, you’re just tired of trying to do everything alone.

    In this episode, I’m talking about what being stuck really looks and feels like as a solo business owner, and how you can gently start untangling your way back to clarity.

    This is actually the final episode of Life in Business… but don’t worry - it’s just a name change. From next week, this podcast becomes Unstuck, and this conversation is the perfect bridge between the two. I’m reflecting on my own journey of feeling overwhelmed, second-guessing myself, and questioning what success even means. Just because you’re capable doesn’t mean you should do it all alone, and I know from experience how easy it is to keep pushing forward but still feel like you’re getting nowhere.

    If you’ve been feeling drained, indecisive, or like you should be further ahead by now - this one’s for you. I want to meet you where you are and offer the truth, permission, and practical support you actually need.

    You don’t have to hustle your way out of stuckness. You just need space, support, and the right kind of nudge.

    ✨

    127: #127 When You've Tried Everything and You're Still Not Where You Want To Be
    2025/04/17
    You’ve taken the courses, bought the planners, followed the strategies — so why are you still stuck? If you’re feeling mentally fried and like nothing’s really working, this episode will help you understand why more tactics aren’t the answer, and what to do instead.

    In this honest and gently rebellious episode, I share what’s actually going on when you feel like you’ve tried everything in your business and you're still not where you want to be. Spoiler: it’s not a motivation problem, and you’re definitely not lazy. You’re just carrying too much — and no Canva template is going to fix that.

    We talk about the toll of overthinking, the pressure to keep reinventing, and why clarity slips away when you’re overwhelmed and unsupported. I explain why consuming more content isn’t helping (even if your brain loves it) and how creating space to think — rather than stuffing in more strategies — is the missing piece for most solo business owners.

    If you’re exhausted from trying so hard, questioning every decision, and wondering if it’s you… this is your reminder that you’re not broken. You’re just ready for a different kind of support.

    ✨

    126: #126 The Hidden Cost of DIYing Your Business
    2025/04/10
    We solo business owners are a fiercely independent bunch — we figure stuff out, wear all the hats, and keep the wheels turning. But what if trying to do everything yourself is actually slowing you down? In this episode, I’m sharing the hidden costs of DIY-ing your business growth — from wasted time and money to missed opportunities and total overwhelm — and why investing in the right kind of support could be the smartest (and kindest) thing you ever do for yourself.

    I’ll walk you through how to spot the warning signs that you’re stuck in the DIY trap, the difference between staying “busy” vs. actually growing, and how simple shifts like listening to podcasts or getting expert support can make a massive difference to your profitability, peace of mind, and long-term success.

    This isn’t about scaling to a 10K month or hustling 24/7 — it’s about building a business that actually works for you. Because you deserve more than just survival mode.

    💡 The sooner you stop doing it all alone, the faster you move forward.

  • 125: #125 The Ugly Truth About Business Coaching (and Why You Might Not Need a Coach)

    125: #125 The Ugly Truth About Business Coaching (and Why You Might Not Need a Coach)
    2025/04/03
    As a business coach with over 13 years' experience (and a fair few hard lessons along the way), I’ve seen it all — the “proven formulas,” the overpriced programs, and the subtle ways some coaches make you feel like you’re the problem. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and having an honest conversation about what coaching should actually be, how to spot the red flags, and why not everyone needs a coach (really!).

    We’ll talk about the real difference between coaching, mentoring, consulting, and teaching — and how so many so-called coaches are actually just selling cookie-cutter solutions. I’ll share the signs that you might benefit from coaching, the questions to ask before investing in anyone, and how to choose someone whose values truly align with yours.

    This isn’t a pitch — it’s a permission slip to make informed, empowered decisions about the kind of support you really need in business… or whether you need it at all.

    💡 A good coach won’t fix you — they’ll help you see that you were never broken to begin with.

In this episode, I’m sharing what it really takes to stay motivated, focused, and accountable when you're a solo business owner, and how to stop the faff and start making real progress.

This one’s packed with practical ideas to help you feel more productive (without burning out) and treat your business like the business it is.

    ✨ You don’t need to be a hard boss — just an honest one.

    2025/03/20
    What does it look like to do business your way — even when that means breaking every rule you once believed in? In this special episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Denise Duffield-Thomas for an honest, funny, and quietly rebellious chat about navigating business, boundaries, and being your full self in public.

    We talk about everything from neurodivergence and saying no, to navigating visibility and redefining success on your own terms. Denise shares how she’s unlearning past business decisions, why she no longer overcommits, and the power of creating a business that feels like home — not a performance.

    ✨ Business gets a whole lot easier when you stop following rules that were never meant for you.
