    This week we celebrated an exciting milestone in my business - my Bold Darling Mastermind turned 3! I conceived the idea for it in a Bali cafe in September 2019… however I didn’t bring it to the world until April 2022. It has been wildly successful as an addition to my business. It enables me to help more women than I could ever have doing solely one-on-one mentoring, member retention is sky high, and it has created predictable - and epic - revenue in my business ($600k!!). In this week’s episode, I share the ten biggest lessons I’ve had in running a successful mastermind: from member experience and pricing, to inclusions and mindset. Biggest love and thanks to all our incredible Bold Darling members, the stellar experts who join us every single month, and to my team for loving on our members and helping them feel seen and cared for.

    This week I’m interviewing a guest who I’ve been wanting to get on the show for years! Meet publishing supremo Fiona Hazard. Fiona has been in the book publishing business for over 25 years, both in Australia and in the UK, and has worked with a diverse range of authors and illustrators to help them share their stories with readers around the world. Previously Group Publishing Director for Hachette Australia & New Zealand, she is now Head of Strategy & Development for independent publisher Keeperton and a board member for Writing NSW. Fiona led the publication of my four books in her role at Hachette Australia, and I’ve been fascinated speaking to her about how quickly the publishing industry is developing, and how more accessible than ever it is to get your work published as a result. It’s an exciting time to be an author! In myself and Fiona’s chat, we cover: The biggest block she sees people having writing - and publishing - a book Whether you should just go ahead and write or decide on how to publish it first The different publishing options - self-publish vs go with a publisher (and other options in between!) What you need to get a book deal with a publisher What KDP is and how it’s revolutionising the publishing industry What kind of authors tend to do well with self publishing If it's possible to actually make money from books nowadays Which route she would choose if she was a first-time author now The resources she recommends to authors researching their publishing options The hot genres to watch in publishing To find out more about Keeperton, visit keeperton.com.

Goalsetting is SO MUCH MORE than rattling off a few achievements you want to make happen.  To really get the most out of it, it should be a structured process that includes reflection, holistic thinking, and specific actions that will get you that critical momentum. I've refined this process over the last decade, and I'm pretty bloody proud of it by now.   I'm fresh from my own 2025 goalsetting, so I hope what I share in this week's episode helps you with your own goals for next year.   In it, I share:  The embarrassing story of how I discovered goalsetting The specific step-by-step process I follow when setting my goals How I take stock at the end of each year The hack for helping visioning flow for my mentees (especially for those who struggle to “see” the future) Why you must understand the concept of “be/do/have” in order to actualise your goals Plus!

    I'm very excited for this week's episode, as we dive deep into the parenting universe with Jaclyn Carlson, a certified Mother Mentor, Parent Coach, and Matrescence Facilitator. Jaclyn brings a deeply compassionate and mother-centric approach to her work, understanding the profound impact, challenges, and extraordinary strengths that motherhood offers women steering their own businesses.   In our chat, Jaclyn shares her own experiences of the parenting and business blend, as well as many 'aha' moments and insights that will pave the way for a more connected, conscious approach to raising our little humans.   We cover:  Her background and how she felt called to make the pivot she has   What a mother mentor/parenting coach actually does What she has found the singularly most challenging part of the parenting/business blend (I share mine here too) The concept of matrescence, and how it can be a double whammy for business owners Why parenting can actually be your superpower in business (I loved this point she made!) The impact of our own childhoods and how we can break generational cycles with our own children Self-silencing and the future risk it creates  The number 1 goal parents should be focusing on  Her tips on nervous system regulation - especially in the midst of a meltdown (kids and our own!)   You can find out more about Jaclyn's work on her website - jaclyncarlson.com and on Instagram - @blogsociety.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
