It's easy to believe that money and security go hand-in-hand because that's what we've always been taught — it's a part of our societal conditioning. But having gone through a whole process of unravelling that belief and really exploring it myself, I've got some thoughts that I think could be really helpful if you're waiting for money to bring you that sense of security you crave. See you in there

Bringing one back from the archives this week as it's one of the most popular episodes ever, and is just too delicious to only have one bite! This one's all about what you should do when you find yourself in the middle of a gut-punch, pull-the-rug, power-hose to the face wobble. When it seems that self-sabotage is inevitable and the regret of a decision threatens to capsize your dinghy. I'm going to be guiding you through the why's and the how's to get you back on course

Having a strategy to get from A to B is certainly not a one-size-fits-all affair. You can have the best, most refined, well-researched strategy of all time...and it still won't work for you. There could be an essential ingredient missing in your plan. Wanna know what it is? Well, you'll have to have a listen. I'll see you inside

If you're not where you want to be in your business yet, chances are that on some level, you're waiting for perfect. In this episode I'm taking a deep dive on what that can look like (it's not always obvious!), but more importantly — how to move forward beyond that perfection seeking. So grab your headphones and come spend some time with me, I think it could really help

It can feel totally deflating when you've put a whole load of time, energy and perhaps money into building and perfecting an offer you think is irresistible to your potential clients and instead of signups, you get tumbleweeds. I know how that feels because I've been there myself. So today I'm delving into the five fundamentals that every business owner needs to nail to sell effectively! I'm also sharing the one and ONLY time that a client decides to buy. Intrigued? See you on the inside

Are you feeling particularly impatient in your business at the moment? Like things just aren't happening quick enough, and you want to fast-forward to the good bit? ⏲ Well, hold your horses there, gorge — you might wanna listen to this first! Impatience can be a challenge for anyone, especially when you're so focussed on achieving a particular goal. I know that I've suffered from it (and sometimes still do), and it's a challenge that I see coming up for my 1:1 clients a lot. So take solace in the fact that you're not alone, and come have a listen to find out the solution

Here we are at episode number 100 ❤️️ This feels like a real milestone for The Imperfect Life® Podcast, and so to mark the occasion I thought we'd do something a little different, and take a closer look at, well...me! Not because I'm the most important and interesting person in the world

Today I'm going deep on a money mindset piece that I'd bet my bottom dollar affects each and every one of us. It's not only one of the fundamentals that I talk about frequently in my coaching, but also one of the key pieces that shifted things for me personally in my business. Wanting more money is 100% natural, and it's okay to want more. But you're not going to get it by simply saying it. Come on in and have a listen ❤️️ PS, I've got ONE space opening up for a 1:1 coaching opportunity.
