Creating momentum in your business isn’t just about planning and strategy - it’s about trusting yourself, even when life feels uncertain. In this behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing a day in my life as I navigate maternity leave planning and mindset shifts, rebuilding my financial review habits and shifting operations inside my business.

You’ll hear the mindset shifts that are helping me grow my business with self-trust instead of overthinking, how I’m preparing for baby #4 while still staying connected to my work and the simple weekly financial review process that is bringing emotional safety back into my business finances.

If you’re craving more self-trust, flexibility and sustainable momentum in your business, this episode will show you what it looks like to live it day-by-day.

Over-challenging yourself is one of the sneakiest ways that perfectionism is keeping you stuck in your business - and that’s exactly what this episode will help you overcome.

My clients are people who love to learn, grow and push themselves. But what I’ve seen time and time again - and experienced myself - is how over-challenging ourselves can lead to freezing or getting stuck in productive procrastination for months.

In this episode, I unpack a powerful coaching moment from inside my program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. I reveal what it really looks like to over-challenge yourself and why over-challenging yourself actually makes it harder to achieve your goals. I also share practical strategies that will allow you to step outside your comfort zone without spinning yourself out.

Whether you’re trying to post consistently on social media, launch something new into the world or perform at an open mic like the PGSDer I coached - this episode will help you get unstuck and build momentum, one aligned challenge at a time.

There’s a lot of talk in the entrepreneurial world about the dream of “being your own boss.” But what happens when you finally become your own boss… and realise you’ve turned into the worst boss you’ve ever had?

This episode introduces a different way of thinking about how perfectionism is showing up in your business. It’s a metaphor that’ll help you really see why you keep getting in your own way – and what to do about it. Because when your perfectionism handbrake is on, it doesn’t matter how motivated or disciplined you are. You’ll still feel behind, burned out, overthinking everything, and wondering why nothing is working.

In this episode, I’m walking you through what it means to be both the boss and the employee in your business – and how perfectionism can make both of those roles way harder than they need to be. I’ll show you how to start being the kind of boss you actually want to work for (no matter where you’re at right now), and why that shift alone can change everything.

Inside PGSD, we teach you how to be the kind of boss you’d actually like to work for and the kind of employee who gets shit done without burning out.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels and wondering what you’re missing, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to finally get out of your own way.
