Strategy doesn’t have to feel heavy, complicated or overwhelming, I promise!  

In this episode, my mission is to soften it for you.

As part two of my four-part series on the pillars, this week, I’m zooming in on smart strategy, and reimagining what strategy can look like when it’s designed to support you first.

In this conversation, I simplify strategy right down to its essence and explore why traditional, overly masculine approaches often leave women feeling stuck, scattered or burnt out, despite working incredibly hard.

I also share how strategy can become a sacred, supportive structure rather than a pressure-filled to-do list, and why clarity, not complexity, is what actually creates momentum.

If you’ve ever felt busy but not really moving forward, overwhelmed by planning, or unsure what to focus on next, this episode will help you reframe strategy as the bridge between where you are now and the life and business you actually want.

Smart Strategy - What It Is And How To Do It {Success Pillars part 2}

In this week’s episode, I continue my four-part series on the core pillars of success for women in business. This week I’m focusing on mindset.

Mindset isn’t about fixing yourself or forcing positivity. It’s about how you navigate your inner world when things wobble…. because they will! Especially when you’re holding a lot.

I explore why mindset work is particularly critical for women, the subtle ways self-doubt shows up at leadership level, and how seemingly harmless thoughts can quietly stall momentum if left unchecked.

We talk about the difference between a normal mindset dip and a full-blown spiral, why resistance often appears right before growth, and how resilience is the real skillset founders need to cultivate.

I also share practical reflections on rest, boundaries, self-coaching, and why fun and pleasure are often the missing strategic levers in high-performing women’s lives.

Mindset To Make Millions: How To Navigate Self-Doubt {Success Pillars part 3}

What if the success of your business wasn’t coming down to better planning or bigger ideas… but better energy?

This episode kicks off a brand new four-part series on the pillars I believe underpin sustainable success in business: Energy, Strategy, Mindset and Identity. 

I’m starting with the one that underpins everything else: Energy.

In this conversation, I explore why energy isn’t a “nice to have” or a self-care add-on, it’s the electricity your business actually runs on. 

From decision-making and visibility, to leadership, money and pricing, the way you show up energetically shapes far more than most women realise.

I also share why treating rest as a reward is one of the fastest paths to burnout, how low energy keeps you stuck in survival mode, and why protecting your energy is a strategic responsibility, not a luxury.

This episode is an invitation to reframe how you think about success in 2026… and to ask a different question entirely: what if your energy became your most important KPI?

Your Energy: The Electricity Of Your Biz {Success Pillars part 1}

Staying excited about your goals is easy in January…

But staying aligned, energised, and consistent as the year unfolds? That’s where most people slip.

In this episode, I’m shifting the conversation from setting goals to what actually matters: how to stay on track with them in 2026. And to do that without burning out, overwhelming yourself, or losing momentum halfway through the year.

I explore:
Why energy management isn’t a luxury
The real reason annual plans often fail high-performing women
What it really takes to create sustainable progress that compounds over time
The nitty-gritty deets on how I structure my year to hold growth without collapse

I also share a special listener-only discount inside the episode for my Elevated Strategy Method, my new program that will help you set goals, but keep them track.

If 2026 matters to you and you want your goals to last beyond the first quarter, this episode is for you.
