    153: #153 What to Do When You Hate Marketing Yourself
    2025/10/09
    Do you secretly hate marketing — or feel completely frozen when it comes to putting yourself out there? You’re not alone. For many solo business owners, marketing feels awkward, overwhelming, or downright terrifying. But here’s the truth: there’s no one “right” way to do it, and you can find an approach that actually fits you and your business.

    In this episode, I break down where the fear of marketing really comes from (fear of judgement, cultural baggage, or just not knowing what to say), and why avoiding it keeps you stuck. We’ll look at the different forms marketing can take — from content to connections to visibility and systems — and how to match them to your energy and strengths.

    You’ll also hear how reframing marketing as an act of service can change everything. Because you’re not begging for attention or being pushy — you’re helping the right people realise you’re the right person to help them.

    ✨ Marketing doesn’t have to feel horrible. You can find a way that feels natural, simple, and sustainable — and it’s more than enough.

  • 152: #152 Why 'Go Big or Go Home' is a Trap (and What to Do Instead)

    152: #152 Why 'Go Big or Go Home' is a Trap (and What to Do Instead)
    2025/10/02
    Ever felt like if you’re not chasing 10K months, six-figure launches, or scaling at lightning speed, then you’re somehow failing? That unspoken pressure to “go big or go home” is everywhere in the online world — but it’s also a trap that can leave you exhausted, paralysed, and disconnected from what you actually want.

    In this episode, I share why I’ve moved away from the hustle of huge goals, and why smaller, slower, and simpler aims are not only valid but often smarter and braver. We’ll talk about how chasing someone else’s definition of success can derail you, why comparing your solo business to industry “norms” is pointless, and how to set goals that actually fit your energy, life, and priorities.

    If you’ve ever felt weighed down by pressure to think bigger or grow faster, this episode will help you reframe “slow” as sustainable, intentional, and conscious — and remind you that the bravest choice is building a business that truly works for you.

    ✨ Bravery doesn’t always look like going bigger. Sometimes it’s saying no to pressure, yes to yourself, and choosing growth that feels good.

  • 151: #151 What Happens When You Outgrow Your Clients

    151: #151 What Happens When You Outgrow Your Clients
    2025/09/25
    What happens when you realise you’ve outgrown your clients — or the way you work with them? It can feel scary, uncomfortable, and even disloyal, especially when these are the people who’ve helped you build your business. But sometimes, the truth is that you’ve evolved, your needs have changed, and the services or relationships that once lit you up no longer do.

    In this episode, I share my own experiences of outgrowing certain offers and client relationships, how I navigated those transitions with integrity, and why making changes isn’t about rejecting people — it’s about realigning your business so it works for you. We’ll talk about how to tell the difference between outgrowing a client and outgrowing a service, the power of having honest conversations, and why pivoting with intention keeps your business alive, aligned, and joyful.

    If you’ve ever felt a creeping sense of boredom, resentment, or misalignment with your work, this episode will help you spot the signs that change is needed — and give you permission to evolve without guilt.

    ✨ Changing direction isn’t disloyal — it’s the most loyal thing you can do for yourself, your business, and your clients.

    150: #150 How to Combat Boredom Without Breaking Your Business
    2025/09/18
    Feeling bored in your business doesn’t always mean it’s time to burn it all down. In fact, boredom can be a sign you’re craving more creativity, variety, or challenge — not that you need to start from scratch. In this episode, I’m sharing why boredom often has more to do with the way you’re running your business than with the work itself, and how small shifts can reignite your interest without causing chaos.

    I talk about my own relationship with boredom, how my neurodivergent brain needs both routine and novelty, and why I’ve built my Unstuck community to give me (and my clients) variety, connection, and joy. You’ll learn the difference between boredom and burnout, why the delivery of your work might be the real problem, and how to tweak your offers so they work with your brain instead of against it.

    This is about building a business that sustains your interest, keeps you energised, and gives you freedom — without constant reinvention or the risk of burnout. You can love what you do and still change how you do it.

    ✨ Boredom doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong business — it means it’s time to make it work better for you.

    149: #149 The Hidden Cost of Saying "I Should Just be Grateful"
    2025/09/11
    Have you ever told yourself you should “just be grateful” for what you have? On the surface it sounds positive — even virtuous — but there’s a hidden cost to gratitude when it becomes a muzzle. In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet guilt that can keep you stuck in situations that don’t truly make you happy, and why being grateful and wanting change can absolutely coexist.

    I share the childhood moment that planted this belief in me, how it’s shown up in my life and business, and why so many women internalise the idea that ambition is selfish or disruptive. We’ll explore the difference between appreciating your life and settling for it, and how to tell if you’re genuinely content or simply convincing yourself you should be. You’ll learn ways to reframe your ambition as self-respect, recognise when you’re making decisions out of obligation instead of alignment, and start creating space for the life and business you actually want.

    This is your permission slip to stop shrinking yourself in the name of gratitude and start being unapologetic about your desires. You can deeply appreciate what you have and still want more — that’s not greed, it’s growth.

    ✨ You don’t have to settle to be grateful — the two can exist together, and that’s where your power lies.

  • 148: #148 How I Knew I'd Never Work for Someone Else Again

    148: #148 How I Knew I'd Never Work for Someone Else Again
    2025/09/04
    Do you remember the moment you realised you were never going to work for someone else again? That powerful, spine-tingling moment when you knew you were done with the corporate world for good? In this episode, I’m sharing my own journey — from selling pom poms to the neighbours as a child, to walking out of my last job and starting my business from scratch.

    I take you through the early signs that I was destined to work for myself (even if I didn’t know it at the time), the jobs that nurtured my independence, and the ones that drained the life out of me. You’ll hear why autonomy was the non-negotiable that shaped my decision, how I built a business with nothing but determination, and why I believe some of us are simply wired to create our own path.

    If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit into someone else’s system, or you’ve had that itch to do things your own way, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken — you’re a business owner at heart. And if you’re still finding your version of “pom poms”, that’s okay. You can shape and reshape your business until it feels exactly right for you.

    ✨ You were always meant to work for yourself — it was never an accident, it was always who you were.

  • 147: #147 Why You Don't Need £10k Months (or 10,000 Steps) to Succeed

    147: #147 Why You Don't Need £10k Months (or 10,000 Steps) to Succeed
    2025/08/28
    We’ve all heard them: 10,000 steps a day. £10K months in business. The magic numbers you “must” hit if you want to be successful. But what if these targets are nothing more than marketing myths — and chasing them is actually holding you back?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down the surprising truth behind the 10,000-step rule (spoiler: it was invented for a 1960s Japanese marketing campaign, not science) and showing how the same thinking applies to business. You’ll learn why setting arbitrary goals can set you up for failure, and how to create targets that actually work for you — whether that’s 1,500, 7,000, or yes, even 10,000 steps… or pounds.

    I share my own experience of aiming too high too soon, why I ditched unrealistic goals in favour of something sustainable, and how that shift completely changed my mindset, results, and happiness. You’ll walk away knowing how to measure success on your terms, without the pressure to constantly “do more” just because the internet says so.

    ✨ You get to choose your goals — and the most powerful ones are the ones that feel achievable, energising, and right for you.

    146: #146 How a Fear of Judgement Can Keep You Stuck
    2025/08/21
    Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something in your business because you were worried about what other people might think? Whether it’s strangers on the internet, a partner who doesn’t quite get it, or family members who’ve always made you feel “less than,” the fear of judgement can be paralysing.

    In this episode, I’m talking about how that fear shows up — from shrinking your ideas to making them more “palatable,” to avoiding offers, price increases, or opportunities entirely — and how to stop it from holding you back. I share why most people’s opinions aren’t really about you, how to protect your energy from unhelpful voices, and practical ways to champion yourself even if no one else is clapping yet.

    Other people’s opinions aren’t your reality. You don’t need anyone’s permission to chase what lights you up, and you’re absolutely allowed to take up space.

    ✨ You get to build a business on your terms — and the sooner you trust yourself, the freer you’ll feel.
