You know that client who seems stuck no matter what you try? Who says they want change, but resists every invitation to actually do the thing? Sometimes… that client is us. This one’s a little spicy, a little sobering, and a whole lot clarifying. Because if you’re in the business of helping others grow, you need to be honest about your own coachability too. And if you’re holding space for someone who’s starting to feel impossible to coach, you’ll want to hear this. This episode is a compassionat...

G'day my loves – I'm recording this one from a very rainy, very cozy lounge room, with a fire crackling, some soothing music in the background, and the river quite literally creeping up to my window. So today's episode has big cozy, calm, candle-lit vibes. But we’re talking about something so many of us grapple with, clarity, especially when we’re trying to make big decisions or navigate uncertainty. Here’s the truth: Clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder or trying harder. It comes when we s...

You don’t have to be burned out to be stuck. Sometimes “stuck” looks like being wildly capable… but quietly dissatisfied. You’re busy. Booked. On paper, things are working. But underneath? Something’s off. This episode is a loving call-out for creatives, high performers, leaders and business owners who feel like they’re doing all the things, and still not getting what they came for. We're unpacking the sneaky, subtle ways high-functioning people stay stuck, the real cost of staying there, and wh...

You don’t need another planner. Or a better routine. Or more motivation. What you might need is to rethink how you define discipline and why your strategies keep falling apart. This episode unpacks the real reason so many smart, ambitious people fall off track. And no, it’s not because you’re lazy, disorganised or uncommitted. We cover: Why motivation is unreliable and what to rely on instead How structure can feel supportive rather than restrictive The identity shift that makes habits stick Wha...

If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but it still feels sticky, off, or oddly lonely, this one’s for you. You’re not broken. You’re not behind. You’re not missing anything. You’re just crossing a threshold most people don’t talk about. You're on your way to becoming exceptional. And yes, it can feel weird. In this episode, we take a breath and a good honest look at: Why the road to mastery often feels quieter (and wobblier) than you’d expect The invisible gap between being high-functionin...

If 2025 feels like a full-blown shitstorm of noise, fear, and "WTF is even happening right now?" this episode is for you. Whether you're running a business, leading a team, raising kids, or just trying to be a decent human in a very loud world... this is your reminder: you don’t need to shout to be remembered.

It’s been a while. I’m tucked up in my snuggliest clothes, recording this late at night - heart full, energy soft, and if I’m honest… a little bit nervous to be back behind the mic. But here we are! This episode is tender. It’s about the messy middle. The quiet. The moments when things wobble, and no one’s watching, and it’s just you with you. I’m sharing what brought me back, and what’s carried me through. The quiet, powerful work of self-coaching. Not the performative kind. Not the “push throu...

G’day, friends! In this episode, I’m sharing a new approach to sales and enrollment for coaches and service providers—one rooted in trust, transparency, and integrity. Inspired by a sales training I couldn’t even finish, I reflect on the outdated, high-pressure tactics we’re so often taught and how they clash with the personal, transformative work we do. Instead, I explore how to create meaningful connections with potential clients, from empowering them to make their own decisions to being hones...

If you've ever had a huge dream but felt completely stuck because you have no idea how to get there—this episode is for you. I’ve been there too, and today we’re talking about how to get unstuck and move forward, even when the next step feels totally unclear. One of the biggest things I’ve learned is that it's not about having the perfect plan. It’s about trusting the process, even when the path feels foggy. Sometimes, you’re not meant to know all the steps ahead. You just need to focus on one s...

If you’re empathic, introverted, intuitive, or highly sensitive, you might feel like the typical business advice just doesn’t fit. Hustle culture glorifies burnout, always being "on," and chasing metrics, but that constant push can be toxic—especially for us. Here’s the truth: You don’t need to hustle harder to succeed. You can thrive in business without sacrificing your well-being. Signs You’re “Girlbossing” Too Hard: Burnout masked as productivity – You’re getting things done, but it’s drainin...

Mastermind groups and coaching programs are a growing trend in the business world, but are they truly worth the investment of your time, energy, and money?

In this episode of the Superfreak Podcast, we explore the surprisingly powerful practice of slow living in business. I know this might sound counter-intuitive—how could slowing down possibly lead to more productivity and higher profits? But after years of integrating these principles into my own work, I’ve found that aligning with a more natural pace not only prevents burnout but actually leads to better results. Throughout the episode, I’ll be sharing how I’ve applied these slow living strategi...

In today’s episode, we delve into the critical signs that indicate it's time to elevate from good to great.

When you’re going for big dreams, it can be hard to not feel completely crushed when things don’t go according to plan. How can you be more carefree when things shift and change, instead of it feeling like the end of the world? This idea of being more carefree is something that I’ve been speaking about with a number of my clients recently and it just so happens to be a listener question as well. Before launching into any tips and strategies, I feel like an important aspect of this discussion is ...

On the road to pursuing big goals, there will be times when you feel ready to go to the next level but for some reason, you meet resistance. Even though you’re doing everything you know you should be doing, something is holding you back. The reason for this resistance often lies deep within our subconscious. There's this thing called secondary gain, which is essentially an unnoticed benefit of staying right where you are. While logically, we want to grow and achieve more, our subconscious wants ...

Last week I talked about getting good at failure and how real failure is only when you give up entirely. But I don’t think that conversation would be complete without talking about the fact that sometimes it is necessary and even beneficial to quit. Knowing whether it’s time to let go of something is a topic that comes up quite regularly in my coaching, especially for people who are pursuing seemingly impossible or drawn-out goals. It’s not uncommon to arrive at the question: "Is it worth contin...

The fear of failure is the underlying topic beneath every conversation I have with my clients. No matter who you are, what you’ve achieved and what success you’re striving for, nobody is immune to the fear of failure. We all face it. The solution then isn’t so much about ridding yourself of the fear. It’s about getting comfortable with being uncomfortable because the fear will never not be there. A fear of failure can come up at any stage of the performance spectrum. Maybe you even fear admittin...

I’m no stranger to burnout. Starting in 2008, chronic fatigue had me pretty much housebound for years, and as weird as it sounds, I count that experience as a privilege. I was forced to set boundaries that I know I wouldn't have set had I not been forced to. That experience changed the way I approached achieving success because I could no longer work myself to the ground. The consequences were too great. Instead, I had to find smart and unconventional ways of working so that I could prioritise m...

I don’t believe in junk drawers. In fact, I’m a big believer that things should be as beautiful behind the scenes as they are front of house. So, it’s somewhat embarrassing to admit that a few years ago, I realised the organisation I’d been so proud of in my home did not translate to my business! Things were super chaotic and none of the basics had their proper place. I know I’m not alone in this. I’ve seen far too many people become dismayed and overwhelmed in their businesses due to a lack of ...

At its heart, coaching is an art form. Whether you’re a manager, leader, parent, counsellor, therapist, or coach in any capacity, the paradox lies in walking with someone through their journey, prioritising their autonomy and best interests, without dictating the outcome based on your opinions. As a coach and mentor, I've discovered that holding solid, personal coaching philosophies not only sharpens my ability to make quick, impactful decisions but also enables me to truly listen and place my c...

I want to share a life-changing story with you today which is the foundation of everything I do. It’s a story from my favourite book, "You Squared" by Price Pritchett, about the futility of trying harder and why sometimes, we just need to look at things from a different perspective. We can all relate to those times in life and business when things just aren’t working. No matter how much we push ourselves to work harder, be better and grind our way through, we just keep banging our heads against ...

When you’re at the beginning of your business journey, it can feel disheartening when you hear other entrepreneurs share their instant success stories. The truth is that the path to a sustainable business looks different for everyone. For me, it was slow and winding and I met some unexpected challenges along the way. But along the journey, I also experienced some profound personal growth and learned a lot about sustainability. My journey into coaching began in 2007 when I had an inspiring experi...

If you didn’t notice, it's been nearly an entire year since my last episode… but I'm back!

So today I’m back to re-launch the podcast and update you on everything that’s been happening behind the scenes. Social Media Hiatus In ad...

Are you trying to grow your winner’s mindset? Is it even worth your time and energy? In this episode, I’m going to challenge you to consider developing a winner’s consciousness instead of a winner’s mindset because it will keep you on the path of winning, even when you’re not feeling it. A winner's consciousness is a way of thinking that focuses on growth, abundance, and possibility. This means embracing personal growth and focusing on the learning that happens as a result of failures and mistak...
