Ep 159: Time blocking didn't work for me. Here's what did.
Have you tried time blocking to help you be more productive? Me too. And no matter what I tried, it didn't work. My calendar would tell me what to do, and I'd completely ignore it. If that's your experience too, listen to this week's episode where I share what's working for me instead. Not so you can copy what I do, but to inspire you to let go of the struggle to make time blocking work, and find what works for you.

Ep158: Worried you're being self-indulgent? Don't be!
I was prompted to record this week's episode after two separate conversations where people told me their exciting ideas felt too self indulgent to pursue. When we think that way about the projects that light us up, we actively block our growth so let's unpack why that story is so common. After all, why shouldn't you indulge yourself in the things that bring you joy? Isn't that why you started your business in the first place?

Ep 157: Why you feel you're not successful (even when you are)
I’ve been reflecting on my own journey as a solo business owner and how, despite achieving what I set out to achieve, I sometimes feel like I’m not doing enough. The pressure from the online business world to hit massive income goals can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to internalise that mindset. In this episode, I share my thoughts on finding fulfillment beyond what everyone else tells you success looks like, and recognising the impact you're making with your work.

Ep 155: You don't have to do it all alone
There’s a lot of pressure on us as solo business owners to do it all, isn’t there? This week, I dive into the idea of dependence versus support. Often, we think needing help means weakness, especially when it comes to planning and decision-making. But in this week's episode I challenge that notion! Just as we wouldn’t hesitate to hire an accountant or a virtual assistant, why do we feel guilty about seeking support that helps us stay focused and productive?

Ep140: Ever wonder why it’s so hard to stick to your plans?
Following through with the plans you make can feel like an uphill battle sometimes, can't it? It’s not that you lack the skills or knowledge; it’s that doing it all alone can be a real struggle.

In this week's episode, I dig into why having support when planning can make a world of difference, helping you think more clearly and actually follow through. Can you imagine?!
