In today’s episode, I’m talking through the pressure we create around sales. Our feelings around making a sale can reshape into something much different than just having someone buy that thing or accept that offer. We can fall into the pattern of placing our worth, confidence and a whole lot of our self-perception around the success of our offer and the money we are making. If you’ve ever caught yourself writing your sales page, making that reel, waiting for a potential client on a call and thin...

Today the wonderful Mara Glatzel and I are breaking down our perceptions around neediness, because when it comes down to it we’re all human and we all have needs! Mara brings her experience as an intuitive coach and writer who helps humans stop abandoning themselves and start embracing their needs and honouring their natural energy rhythms. We put the negative connotations around the word ‘needy’ to rest and discuss how to approach and fulfil your needs instead of pushing them away. We also dive...

Today I’m sharing my 5 tips for doubling your income in 2023! This goal has been at the front of my mind in so many ways as the new year begins, including being the focus of my group program Plenty ( which is open to signups now! ). But setting a goal to double your income is about so much more than the amount itself. It’s about really owning that number and believing that you can take the steps to reach it. Not only that, it’s about strengthening the belief that this goal is absolutely possible...

At first, I didn’t know if I was ready to look back on 2022. This year has felt like a lot of growing pains, a lot of learning, a lot of things that might need more time to settle before reflecting. Which made me realise that now was exactly the time to think about it all! By shying away from talking about it, I was judging my process, every point that didn’t go exactly as planned, every time I decided to change, everything I learned from trial and error. I was judging the very things that have ...

I was so inspired by my conversation with Megan Macedo and I just can’t wait for you to hear it today! QUOTES “Most of us have been raised in the business paradigm - western culture is the business paradigm. You can also think of it as the productivity paradigm, the hustle, grind culture. The focus is on the outcome… Whereas the art paradigm, the focus is on the process. The focus is on: who are you, what are your creative instincts?” “Money lives in the art paradigm. It's just been like bastard...

Why are you making money? This is what we’re chatting through in today’s episode… because no one makes money just for money’s sake. Whether you’re motivated by numbers, necessity, validation, or something else, there is always a driving force behind why you’re earning and what you want to earn. We can get caught up in thinking that money needs to be hard work and VERY serious, which can fog our vision when it comes to what actually matters to us while making money. Money loves it when you show u...

I usually avoid phrases like this because if you know me, you know I’m not a huge fan of income guarantees. The way you approach and feel about money making is too nuanced to hold yourself to specific amounts, goals, and percentages without the context of all the mindset work that goes into getting there. But as I’ve been talking to you all during my most recent launch of Plenty, I’ve noticed so many people coming to me with the same inkling, the same spark, the same desire: to double their inco...

Deep breath… how are we all doing? It seems like an appropriate question to start with - it’s an interesting time to be running a business, and maybe an even more interesting time to be making money. One thing about money is that it loves fun. And right now, it feels so complicated to have fun with money. With the state of the economy (shall I say the dreaded word ‘recession’), of politics, of the world, the looming threats can seem one after another… how can we think of our own desires when eve...

I’m so excited to have Lizandra Leigertwood on the podcast today to bring some amazing perspective on the relationship between therapy and coaching! Lizandra talks about her experience as a psychotherapist and relationship therapist, and some of the challenges she sees when people are either considering or entering therapy. We both notice that the amount of people who quickly look for therapy after starting their own business is huge! Lizandra and I start to unpack this, looking at the ways that...

Over the last 18 months my business has been going through some huge shifts. You may have seen me mention this before – I’ve talked a lot about the exciting bits of it, like new messaging that gets really specific on what I do, the new offers that have come from it like my hybrid program Real You Real Money , a new confidence in saying that a money revolution is exactly what we need right now (yesterday, even!). What I haven’t talked about as much yet, is everything that's happened over the past...

Today I’m talking about different patterns of motivation that I see when coaching… and in my own business! There’s a lot of conversations around the relationship that privilege has to the ability to grow your business. I’ve seen posts floating around - especially recently - that imply, and sometimes all out state, that it will be vastly harder to build a business that earns life changing amounts of money if you don’t already have money backing you. But as usual, there is so much more nuance to t...

Over the last month there’s been a huge shift in my work. I have started owning the impact that my work is more than capable of, and as I’ve expanded into this space that I know I’m meant to take up, I am overwhelmed with just how important and urgent it truly is to challenge and change our conditioning around money… This is a money making revolution, and it needs to happen now! I felt the absolute need to declare this after thinking of one of my favourite quotes by Gil Scott Heron: “The first r...

Part of showing up as the real you in your business is embracing the value of your work, which of course shows up in your pricing! I work with a lot of people who are worried about charging more because they are interested in being generous or accessible. They mix that generosity up with charging less for what they do… I’ll admit I can get caught in the same trap! Lowering or raising your prices has no reflection on the person that you are – it means nothing about your kindness. The truth is tha...

Today I’m digging into how our desires hold keys to unlock who we are… which means a whole world of things for what you’re capable of doing in your business and in all elements of your life! But to take one very necessary step back, it can be difficult to access our desires, especially for people who are traditionally left out of money making, who don’t fit the patriarchal mould that society typically connects with success. Conformity culture has told us to stay small, that our desires take up m...

This week I have a big announcement… I am officially changing the name of this podcast to Real You, Real Money! The reason behind the change is part of an evolution that has been going on behind the scenes here, which I share all about in this episode! It all started by really zoning in on the transformation that money coaching can do for you and your business, which has led me to a new way to express the main focus of my work. What is that focus? Well, it’s all centred on how showing up as the ...

A lot of times, coaches in the online business space throw out phrases that are yes, useful, but feel really broad in what they actually mean. Phrases like ‘aligned’, ‘multitudes’, ‘the real you’… that last one is going to be the main focus this episode! Being the real you can have a massive effect on how much money you’re earning in your business… it’s just a matter of getting down to what that actually means. Right now I’m experiencing a lot of natural shifts in my business, and so much of it ...

Have you noticed a shift happening? A shift in how people are talking about money, a shift in how we look at our businesses, how we think about our presence online. A shift in how we approach the big questions, like what you want your work to look like, your life to look like, and what type of money you need to get there. If that seems like a big broad way to start a conversation, you’re right, it is! But it’s something that we need to look straight in the eye. The pandemic threw us into the onl...

Today’s episode is on a topic that ALWAYS gets a strong reaction when I talk about it… and not always a good one! We’re going to talk about selling, in all its tangly glory. Whether you realise it or not, we all have a load of conditioning around selling and a lot of times it works against us. So many of us show up to our business with the built-in idea that selling is pushy or overbearing… and that’s just not it! Selling is inviting people to work with you. Sharing the brilliant thing that you ...

In this episode, I’m talking through one of the most common questions I’m asked, which is how I built a business that took me from having £7.50 in my bank account to my first £7,500 month within the span of just four months. If you’re signed up to my newsletter, you may have read a bit about me and how I landed on the work I do (and if you’re not, you can sign up here! ).
