Have you ever landed a podcast, an interview, or press coverage and then realised it barely made a ripple?

In this episode, I lift the lid on why most entrepreneurs underuse their hard-won media moments and how my brand-new system, AMPLIFY, changes everything!

Instead of letting your coverage fade after one celebratory post, AMPLIFY turns every win into 30, 60, or even 90 days of powerful content. Think: visibility that doesn’t vanish overnight, but compounds into leads, sales, and authority.

Here’s what you’ll take away today: Why media moments alone don’t build momentum How to repurpose coverage into sustainable content streams The role consistent visibility plays in growing your brand voice

Plus, a sneaky peek at my new, six-week workshop designed to help you generate free publicity and actually use it.

Curious? You should be! Join me and find out more.

What if writing a book could change not just your business but your confidence, visibility, and opportunities?

In this episode, I sit down with the wonderful Brooke Bownes, a coach and therapist who wrote her first book in just 90 days, despite having no previous writing experience (You can have it - How to break through the self sabotage cycle). Brooke shares how the process transformed her visibility, built her credibility, and even inspired others in powerful ways (including one reader going through chemotherapy).

We explore: How writing a book fast-tracked Brooke’s authority and opened doors to new opportunities Why documenting your journey online (even the bloopers!) creates authentic connection and visibility Simple breathing techniques to overcome nerves before showing up on camera, podcasts, or the stage The role of authenticity in building a personal brand that truly resonates Practical visibility strategies you can steal right now to grow your brand without burning out.

Brooke’s story proves you don’t need years of experience or a polished online persona to stand out, you just need to start, share, and show up.

Inspired to turn your expertise into impact? Tune in to hear how Brooke used visibility tools like daily video content, Facebook Lives, and her book launch to grow her brand and how you can absolutely do the same!

Do you ever cringe at the thought of self-promotion… but know deep down your business can’t grow without it?

In this episode, I sit down with Carol Searle, a brilliant community and launch strategist with eight years of experience helping business owners build loyal, engaged audiences. Together, we talk about the reality of visibility, especially if you’re introverted or worried about what others (yes, even family!) might think.

We talk honestly about:

• Why visibility isn’t optional if you want personal and business growth and how to make it feel authentic, not awkward

• The quiet fears no one talks about (like judgement from friends, family, or the online crowd)

• How to grow AND keep your community engaged without being “on” all the time

• Smart ways to use online networking that actually feel good with no cold DMs or spammy tactics

• How to approach your next launch with less overwhelm and more clarity.

If you’ve been hiding behind your logo, overthinking every post, or quietly hoping people will just “find” you, this conversation will give you practical, feel-good strategies to get seen, grow your audience, and connect with the right people… without losing yourself in the process.

My guest today is the incredible Zoe Plumley and her journey has been anything but ordinary. From nursing to running a thriving coaching and virtual assistant business, Zoe’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and seriously powerful purpose.

We talk about how her own health challenges and her children inspired her to build LNL Coaching & VA Services, a business that now supports other business owners who are also navigating health conditions, plus she leads a team of 15 (yes, 15!) associate VAs.

We also get into the realities of scaling fast, why sustainable growth matters, and what support is really needed for entrepreneurs with disabilities. Zoe opens up about the real feelings behind showing up on social media, the nerves that come with public speaking, and how she’s pushing forward anyway with many new projects on the horizon.

This conversation is a reminder that there’s more than one way to do business, and you don’t have to sacrifice your wellbeing to be successful.

Before I rebranded my podcast, I sat down with the brilliant Chantal, coach, mama, and all-round wise woman who opened up about her journey into understanding the nervous system (and trust me, she makes it all make sense). We talked about why emotional regulation isn’t just for grown-ups, how overwhelm can creep in when you’re juggling parenting and life, and why being trauma-informed matters more than ever.

But it’s not all science and self-care. We also dove into personal branding in the age of AI, how to show up as your real self online, and what Chantal’s planning next for her biz (spoiler: it involves a shiny new website and a VIP offer you’ll want to keep your eye on).

Whether you're a parent, business owner, or just someone trying to keep it together without losing yourself, join us for this fascinating chat!

Ever struggled to explain what you actually do in one sentence? Or felt like your story wasn't "interesting enough" to share?

In this episode, my guest Philippa Ross and I dissect the messy middle of authentic visibility, the part where you question the labels, navigate the pressure to be polished, and wonder if anyone’s even listening.

Philippa’s own personal journey includes everything from podcasting and personal development to a family history rooted in literal polar exploration. We examine what it really takes to build a brand with depth, communicate with clarity, and show up when it feels uncomfortable.

From the emotional impact of negative feedback and the importance of separating personal feelings from professional criticism, we’re covering the real stuff behind the glossy content.

There’s some incredible personal stories in this one that you won’t want to miss!
