Welcome to a very special Real You Real Money episode series! To kick off 2025, I wanted to gift you a handful of episodes to combat the negative chatter that can run wild in the online space.

Feeling stuck with your sales but can’t put your finger on why? There is one specific block that comes up with most of my clients when this happens… and the tricky part is that most people can’t see it in themselves! In this episode, I’m revealing the secret spiral that so many business owners get into, where you doubt yourself because you’re not making sales, then stop selling because you doubt yourself. It’s a circle that feeds itself and keeps you from showing up and sharing your work passion...

There’s a lot of talk around mindset at the beginning of your business – why wouldn’t there be, it’s easier to recognise! When you’re just starting out, you’re much more likely to come face to face with your money conditioning at every turn, from the way you think about setting your prices all the way to the scarcity that may get in the way of you starting in the first place. After you’ve been doing this for a little while, that mindset talk can get fewer and farther between. You feel familiar w...

I want to start with a quick content warning: today we’re talking about grief, specifically the death of a parent. If this is a vulnerable topic for you, this might be an episode to skip or listen to with care. I’ve been feeling the pull to record an episode on grieving while running your business for a while now, mainly because this has been so prominent in my own business, and I haven’t found much content that speaks to it. This isn’t going to be an episode where I teach you how to smash your ...

If you’re running an independent business, it is almost impossible to avoid thinking about the current economy and how it’s effecting sales. I’ve seen so many people preparing for the worst, closing down their small businesses, or simply adjusting to the change in the market while looking back at the ‘e-commerce pandemic boom’ as a thing of the past. It’s a lot to take in. And the good news is, you do have control over a lot of how you move forward. That’s why today, I’m breaking down the miscon...

I’ve had a breakthrough around how I manage my days, and ultimately how I manage my business... so of course I wanted to share it with you! There is so much focus on starting out in your business, but what happens once the excitement, the adrenaline, and even a little bit of fear has worn off? In a counterproductive way, I realised that I started replicating the very corporate structures that I started a business to get away from - things like equating being at my desk to productivity. These hab...

Today, we’re chatting about safety, familiarity, trust, and how all of these things come together to build the foundation of your business. Running your own business means that you are likely reinventing typical structures, whether it’s in your sales, your offers, or even your day to day. You are at the centre of it all, and while that is super freeing in theory, it can be a challenge in times of doubt. When we have to make big decisions or take risks, our brain’s instinct is to search for safet...

Today we’re talking about how the people around you impact the kind of money you can make.

Tune in for insights on how improving your money mindset can help you meet your sales goals, plus lots more on taking up space and giving o...

In this episode, I’m jumping into some sticky money territory… even for this podcast! I work with so many clients that are incredibly conscious of the ethics of their money making. If you’re a listener, it’s likely that you fall into this category of beautifully big-hearted business owners!

We talk through those moments where sales get sticky, and the steps we can take to make selling less pressured and more about connection. Leah works with 6 & 7 figure coaches to sell high ticket ...

I need to rant. Right before I recorded this podcast, I watched my husband experience an awful sales call with an online coach in his industry. The thing that made this call especially bad was that it was a freebie consultation that ended in a HUGE amount of pressure to buy… which is exactly what I’m here to talk about today. When we offer free value – whether it’s a 1:1 call or our everyday content – we need to be very aware of what the intention is behind it. Our own conditioning around scarci...
