  • #171 - 3 Things We've Been Told Are Non-Negotiable To Grow Our Businesses, That Really Aren't
    Aug 11 2025

    Welcome back to Rewild Your Business, the podcast for women building businesses their soul intended, by being wholly themselves.

    In today’s episode, I'm calling out three so-called “rules” we’ve all been sold when it comes to growing our businesses, and gently but firmly showing you why they’re not only not non-negotiable, but may actually be blocking your growth as well as draining your energy.

    If you've ever felt pressure to be relentlessly consistent, glued to social media, or to charge high-ticket prices before you're ready, this episode is for you.

    In this episode, we'll explores:

    • Why we need to redefine consistency, not as rigid output, but as integrity of your message and energy
    • The myth that you “must” be on social media to grow a successful business, and what actually matters more
    • The pressure to charge more than feels right, and how to find your true pricing sweet spot

    We'll also look at three things that actually ARE non-negotiable for building a soul-led, sustainable business (hint: they all start with C)

    This is a breath-of-fresh-air reminder that your business gets to be built in a way that’s rooted in truth, not performance.

    Your 3 Reflective Prompts for This Week:

    1. Where have I been forcing consistency that no longer feels true for me?

    2. What forms of visibility or connection feel more nourishing than social media right now?

    3. What pricing structure feels right and true for me, in my bones?

  • #170 - Welcome to ReWild Your Business
    Aug 4 2025

    Welcome to the very first episode under our new name - ReWild Your Business! 🎉

    This show began its life as Heads Together, where for 169 episodes we explored the beautiful, messy, powerful intersection of business building and inner work. ReWild Your Business isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a a conscious shift into truer territory.

    In this episode, I share:
    - Why this change felt necessary now
    - What “rewilding your business” really means (and no, it’s not about ditching strategy or moving to a cabin in the woods… unless you want to... actually, I DO want to...)
    - What you can expect from this new season of the podcast
    - A heartfelt invitation to do business in a way that feels soul-led, rooted, and whole

    This is a space for women doing the work their soul intended. It’s about simplifying, reconnecting, and building businesses that reflect the whole of who we are, not just the parts we think the world wants to see.

    ✨ At the end of every episode, you’ll find three journaling prompts to help you integrate what you’ve heard, starting today:

    1.  Where in your business have you been holding onto a version of yourself that no longer feels true?
    2.  What does rewilding mean to you?
    3.  If you were to build your business in complete alignment with your truth, with the whole of who you are, what is the first thing you'd change?

    🎧 Don’t miss an episode! Subscribe at gillmoakes.com/rybpodcast to get each new episode (and the journaling prompts) straight to your inbox every Wednesday.

    Thanks for being here. I’m so glad we’re finding our way back to what matters, together.

  • #169 - Heads Together Is Evolving (Do You Want The Good News Or The Good News?)
    Jul 28 2025

    This is it — the final episode of Heads Together.

    Before we step boldly into our new era next week, with... Drumroll... ReWild Your Business, I’m closing this chapter with a burstingly full heart and a whole ton of gratitude. This episode is part love letter (to you), part reflection, and part rallying cry for what comes next...

    I’m sharing what podcasting has taught me over the past 169 episodes, about consistency, connection, finding your voice, letting go of polish, and evolving in real time. I’ll talk about the early days of talking into the void, what it means to show up without performing, and how this podcast has shaped me as a business owner, a coach, and a (hopefully pretty decent) human.

    And don’t worry, I'm not going anywhere. We’ll still be getting our heads together every week, just under a new name that reflects the rewilding that’s happening - not just in my business, but in the wider world of soul-led entrepreneurship.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters or whether it’s worth starting the thing before you feel “ready”, this one’s for you.

    In this episode, I share:

    The story behind the podcast’s evolution and why it’s time to change the name

    What Heads Together taught me about authenticity, impact, and imperfection

    Why consistency and experimentation have definitely been the secret sauce

    How podcasting helped me stop performing and start showing up as the truest version of me

    An invitation to ReWild Your Business with me in this next chapter - next week we'll dive deep into exactly what that means...

    This Week's Journal Prompts...

    What part of your work or business is asking to evolve?

    Where have you found your voice through action, not planning?

    What moment of connection reminds you that you’re already making an impact?

    📩 I’d love to hear your reflections. Email me at info@gillmoakes.com — I promise I’ll reply personally.

    Next week:

    We begin again with Episode 170 and a new name, ReWild Your Business. It's time to go deeper.

  • #168 - How Simple Do You Dare To Let Your Business Be?
    Jul 21 2025

    This episode is a deep breath.
    A loosening.
    A letting go of the pressure to do more, be more, offer more, prove more.

    If you haven’t listened to episode 167 yet (The Difference Between a Business That Looks Good and One That Feels Good), I’d press pause and start there. That one sets the tone. This one brings it home.

    We’re talking about simplifying, not as a step back, but as a bloody bold move toward more clarity, depth, and spaciousness. Because the truth is, doing more isn’t always the answer. Sometimes, it’s the very thing that’s pulling you away from what matters most.

    Inside this episode:

    Why simplifying your business might be the most loving thing you can do (for yourself and your clients)

    The myth of “more”, and how it’s keeping so many brilliant women on the brink of burnout

    Five areas to get honest about: your offers, your content, your marketing, your tools, and your time

    The sacredness of space, and what gets to grow when you stop trying to keep up

    This isn’t about shrinking.
    It’s about rewilding.
    So you can build a business that actually feels like yours.

    I’m also sharing three journal prompts to help you reflect on what’s feeling cluttered, where you’re overextending, and what could open up if things were simpler.

    Next week: A big announcement you do not want to miss. Bring snacks.

    If this episode resonated, please do leave a 5-star review. It helps the podcast reach more wild-hearted women, and I’m so grateful for every one of you who tunes in.

  • #167 - The Difference Between A Business That Looks Good And One That Feels Good
    Jul 14 2025

    This week’s episode is a heart-to-heart. It’s a moment to zoom out, breathe deeply, and ask the question so many of us avoid: Am I building the right business, in the right way?

    This episode is a reflection on what it means to me to build a business that feels deeply true, not just performatively successful.

    I share the thoughts and questions that have been circling my mind as I prepare to step into a more aligned, EVEN more authentic chapter. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your ‘why,’ if your business has started to feel like a performance, or if you’re craving a slower, more soul-led (whatever that means for you) way of working, this one’s for you.

    Inside this episode:

    Why I'm rethinking the idea of “playing bigger” and what I'm replacing it with

    How we can unconsciously drift from our original intentions

    The difference between a business that looks good and one that feels good

    Four powerful journal prompts to realign your vision and reconnect with your truth

    Reimagine success on your own terms, and remember: you don’t need to burn it all down to begin again. You’re allowed to build slower. Softer. Truer.

    Next week, we'll explore the how - how to simplify your business so it aligns with who you are now. Don’t miss it.

  • #166 - How To Build A Business That Doesn't Break You
    Jul 7 2025

    You didn’t start your business to feel like you’re running on fumes. And yet, too many brilliant women find themselves dreading client calls they used to love, constantly doubting themselves, and fantasizing about quitting - not because they don’t care, but because they’ve built a business that’s breaking them.

    Gill shares:

    • The subtle signs of burnout that might be creeping in

    • Why it’s not your fault if your business feels unsustainable

    • The truth about performative success in the online world

    • Six core foundations that will help you build a business that supports you (instead of sucking the life out of you)

    This is a must-listen if you’re feeling stretched too thin, over-functioning but under-supported, or just plain tired of pretending everything’s fine. There’s another way, and it starts here.

  • #165 - Coaching Isn't The Offer. You Are.
    Jun 30 2025

    This week, I’m flipping the script on something that keeps so many brilliant coaches stuck...

    If you’ve ever found yourself wondering whether people will pay your rates…
    If you’ve felt invisible in a sea of coaches who “do what you do”…
    If you’ve been trying to sell the process of coaching instead of the transformation...

    This episode is for you.

    Here’s the truth: coaching isn’t the offer - you are.

    It’s not your 6-step framework, or the number of sessions you offer, or whether you use Voxer or Zoom. Your ideal clients aren’t lying awake at night dreaming of a “12-week container.” They’re craving change. And what they’re looking for isn’t coaching - it’s you.

    In this episode, I’m getting into:

    Why positioning yourself as “just another coach” is doing you (and your clients) a massive disservice.

    How to stop hiding behind polished-sounding offers and start showing up as the deeply powerful guide you really are.

    What makes you the most magnetic part of your business, and how to own it fully.

    Why content that’s real always outperforms content that’s performative.

    What shifts when your sales conversations move from explaining to aligning.

    I’m also sharing something that might sting a little, but I’m saying it with love:

    If your offers aren’t landing, it might be because you’ve hidden yourself inside them.

    You don’t need to become a more professional version of yourself.
    You need to become a more honest one.

    The more of you you’re willing to bring into your work, the more your message will resonate. Your ideal clients are already looking for you... let’s make sure they can find you.

  • #164 - What I'd Do Differently If I Was Starting My Coaching Business Today
    Jun 23 2025

    In this honest, behind-the-scenes episode, I’m sharing the 7 big things I wish I’d done from day one — and why they matter so much if you're trying to build a sustainable, thriving coaching practice in today’s crowded online world.

    This one’s for you if you’re at the beginning of your journey or you’re a few years in but know you’re ready for a reset.

    I cover:

    • The myth that being a great coach is enough to grow a successful business (spoiler: it’s not)
    • Why "niching down" doesn't have to mean "boxing yourself in"
    • What I wish I’d known about personal brand from the start
    • The mistake I made when it came to selling… and how I do it now
    • The #1 thing I’d do before creating any offers
    • Why one great coaching offer trumps ten mediocre ones
    • The essential shift in mindset that helped me finally raise my prices

    Plus: the truth about what I wouldn’t change, and how to give yourself permission to pivot at any time.
