In this episode, I’m talking about that strange, in-between season - the one where you’ve grown, but your business hasn’t quite caught up yet.I share what it feels like to be in that identity lag space, the difference between surrender and giving up, and how I’m learning to trust the ground beneath me even when I’m doubting it.

Comparison, Discernment, and Creating Money Your Way
Ever found yourself stuck in comparison mode? Constantly measuring yourself against what they are doing? And then swinging the other way, determined to prove you’re nothing like them…only to find you’re still not creating the money you want?In this episode I am sharing a sneak peek inside my Plenty private Podcast The Pep Talk - normally only available to members. I’m unpacking the sneaky ways comparison shows up in our businesses, and why the antidote isn’t more proving or pushing. It’s discernment. The ability to pause, zoom out, and choose what’s really yours.Here’s what we'll cover:Why comparison isn’t always the enemy (and how to use it to your advantage).The difference between discernment and judgements.How to stop twisting yourself into knots to be “not like them.”What shifts when you show up as yourself, fully, in your business and money-making.If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want to be like them” and then found yourself stuck, this episode will help you untangle that pattern and start creating money in a way that actually feels true to you.Want more?

I Cancelled My Launch: Not Because It Flopped - Because It Worked!
I really did cancel my launch. But not because it flopped, or because I wasn’t organised enough.I cancelled it because it sold out before I even got started.In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how that happened — and why it’s not just about strategy. Yes, I followed the Bold Money framework. But the truth is, this launch worked because of the mindset and -deconditioning work I’ve been doing (the same work I teach inside Plenty).In this episode I'm talking about:The messy, human way I actually launch (and why it still works).How I sold out Bold Money in 3 emails — without a polished plan or endless content.Why your launches keep stalling if you’re still tying your worth to the outcome.What de-conditioning really looks like when it comes to money and business (and why most mindset work doesn’t go deep enough).How to build a business that works with your rhythms, energy, and quirks instead of constantly trying to “fix” yourself.Want to experience this for yourself?

Back from a Break: Rest, Money, and the Fear of Slowing Down
If you’ve ever sat there thinking, “but if I actually rest, how the hell am I going to make money?” - then this episode is for you.I’m back after a longer break than planned and today I’m chatting about what happened when I actually let myself rest this summer. No surprise that it felt good AND it brought up all kinds of wobbles about worth, productivity, and whether I was doing enough.Inside this episode we get into:Why slowing down makes us feel so bloody uncomfortable.The old hustle–crash–repeat cycle I realised I was still caught in (ugh).How to build your business around the energy you actually have, not the mythical “one day” version of you.And because I know so many of you are in this too I want you to know that Bold Money is open right now. It’s my six-month group where we go deep on this stuff: building those £5k+ months without running on fumes or pretending you’re someone you’re not. Early bird’s on, you can find all the info here.So if you’re wobbling post-summer, feeling guilty for not being “productive enough,” or just fancy hearing me admit that my favourite way to rest involves crisps and terrible American first responder TV dramas… hit play!
