Imposter syndrome is something that most of us are faced with multiple times throughout our careers and lives.  This week, I’m answering Nicole’s question: “How do I actively overcome imposter syndrome?”

I’m so excited to answer this one, as it starts first and foremost with a couple of powerful reframes… then I get into what we can actually DO about it.

I hope this episode helps you if you’re currently faced with this debilitating mindset gremlin, and that you can come back to this episode in future for a little pep talk from me.

In this episode I also mention:

Dear Lorraine: How Do I Overcome Imposter Syndrome?

This episode is a little different.

As we move into the final days before Bold Darling doors close (on 26th March), I wanted to sit down and answer some of the questions that have been coming through in my DMs and conversations lately.

The questions you ask are never random. They reveal where you are in your business, what you’re navigating behind the scenes, and how ready you are for your next level.

In this direct (but loving!) episode, I answer:
“How do I balance being in my masculine in business and then switching into my feminine at home? I feel like I’m in CEO mode all the time!”
“I want to grow and make more money, but I’m already stressed. What do I do when scaling feels overwhelming?”
“What financial support do I need to put in place as I scale? How involved should I be as the business owner?”
“I’ve made a lot of mistakes building my team - how do I actually do it well?” 
“Please share all and any efficiency tips” 

Underneath all of this, we’re REALLY talking about identity, energy, structure, and leadership, because you scale by becoming the woman who leads differently, builds a business that supports her, and surrounds herself with the right level of conversation and support.

If you’ve been listening and finding yourself thinking, “This is the level I want to operate at”... 

Doors to my Bold Darling Mastermind are closing on Thursday 26th February. I would love to welcome you inside.

Your Burning Biz Questions Answered

Why do the same challenges keep appearing for women building businesses… no matter the industry, stage or personality?

After eight years mentoring female founders, and working with thousands of women through retreats, programs and private mentoring, I’ve started to notice something pretty striking.

The businesses may be very different. The women themselves certainly are. Yet the same patterns tend to surface again and again.

Certain conversations repeat and certain reminders land at exactly the moment a founder needs to hear them. They are often deceptively simple ideas, but they have a way of shifting how a woman leads her business almost immediately.

In this bonus episode, I’m sharing a handful of the advice I share most often with my mentees.

These are nuggets drawn directly from years of mentoring women as they navigate the realities of building and scaling their companies. They span leadership, personal standards, and the often overlooked role that energy, capacity and self-leadership play in sustainable growth.

Because while strategy matters, the way a woman leads herself is what really shapes the trajectory of her business.

If this conversation resonates with you, it will also give you a sense of the philosophy behind my Bold Darling Mastermind. 

Inside Bold Darling, we go much deeper into this work, supporting women to implement these principles within their businesses in a way that is strategic, sustainable and expansive.

Doors are open until midnight Thursday 26th March. Visit bolddarling.com to explore.

Bonus Ep! The Business Advice I Share Most Often With My Mentees

Burnout has become strangely normal in the entrepreneurial world, particularly for women.

Late nights. Weekend work. Saying no to life so the business can keep growing.

Many founders truly believe that success requires sacrifice.

In this episode, I challenge that belief head-on.

I share why burnout isn’t a strategy problem, it’s a design problem, and why so many businesses are structured in ways that drain the very women building them.

I also pull back the curtain on how I intentionally designed my own business and life since my burnout-adjacent experience in 2019, including working three and a half days a week while continuing to grow a thriving business.

You’ll hear real examples from Bold Darling members who have redesigned their businesses to create more space, more calm, and more sustainable success.

Have you found yourself saying these phrases a lot?!
“It’ll calm down soon.”
“I just need to push through this season.”
“I want to scale, but I’m already maxed out.”

If so, this episode will challenge you to rethink what success actually requires, and what might be possible when you design your business differently.
