This episode, we're diving into a big one...success. What does it really mean? Who gets to define it? And why is it so easy to chase someone else’s version without stopping to ask what you actually want?

We’re stripping away the noise and helping you get really honest about your own version of success...in business, in life, and everywhere in between.

We talk about:

• Why success doesn’t always look like six figures and Bali retreats
• The unlearning that happens when you leave corporate life behind
• Why dreaming big can feel scary (and how to make it feel doable)
• Tools to help you define success on your terms like vision boards and letters to your future self
• How to reverse engineer your goals so you take action that actually matters
• Building in rewards to stay motivated along the way (yes, the handbag counts)

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “Am I doing this right?”, this one’s for you.

🎯 Your Action Step:

Take 15 minutes this week to write a letter to your future self or create a simple vision board. Ask yourself:
✨ What does success really look like for me?
✨ How do I want my life and business to feel?

Start there. Build from that.

In this episode, we’re talking about the myth of being 'ready' to start a business and why waiting until everything is perfect can actually hold you back.

From Leanne’s all-singing, all-dancing website (that no one saw), to Emma’s reflections on breaking free from corporate conditioning, we’re sharing the messy, honest truth about what it actually takes to get started.

You’ll hear:

• Why visibility and mindset matter more than a polished website
• The moment Leanne nearly didn’t launch because she didn’t know what to name her business
• The habits we carry from corporate - and how to unlearn them
• How different working styles can lead to success
• Why our START Framework was born (and how to use it)
• The power of 'done is better than perfect' - and why we keep reminding ourselves of it

This one’s for anyone who feels stuck, is overthinking every step, or believes they need to have it all figured out to start. Spoiler alert: you don’t.

Welcome to the very first episode of Real Talk and a Slice of Cake with Emma & Leanne!

This is the place where strategy meets simplicity, and business gets served with a generous helping of honesty (and a side of cake… usually).

In this intro episode, we’re keeping it real, raw, and relatable. We’re not in a fancy podcast studio (Leanne’s in her office, Emma’s in her kitchen), and we’re not pretending to have it all figured out. What we do have is decades of business and corporate experience, a passion for helping others grow, and a big mission: to simplify the business journey.

We chat about:

• Why we created Simplify Business Success (or SBS as we like to call it)
• What’s often missing in the business world (spoiler: it’s clarity and all the pieces of the puzzle)
• How we met and discovered we’re weirdly in sync (three daughters, Diet Coke lovers, and August birthdays!)
• The real reason perfectionism is the ultimate progress-killer
• What you actually need (and don’t need) to start or grow your business

This isn’t about flashy jargon or selling you “the dream” – we’re bringing practical advice, personal stories, and a whole lot of humour to help you build success on your terms. Oh, and cake. Always cake.
