  • The strategy, psychology and energy of a successful pivot
    Sep 7 2025

    When most people pivot, they focus on the strategy: offers, pricing, messaging.
    And while strategy matters, it’s not enough.

    A pivot will never stick unless your psychology and energy are aligned with it. Without the inner shifts, the best plan in the world gets abandoned halfway through.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down:

    • The three lenses every successful pivot needs: strategy, psychology, and energy.
    • How to know which one is your weakest link right now.
    • A client example of what happens when all three work together.
    • Why missing even one can keep you stuck in stop–start cycles.

    If you’re making a change in your business — or know one’s coming — this conversation will help you make it stick.

    And if you are really serious about growing your business or expanding through this messy middle / pivot season, let's talk about you joining us inside the October round of Luminate. DM me on Instagram here.

  • Scaling without more clients or hours
    Aug 31 2025

    Most people think scaling means adding more clients, doing more marketing, and working more hours.

    That’s not scaling, that’s just building yourself a bigger job.

    True scaling is about creating more output without adding more to your plate.

    In this episode, I’m sharing:

    • The hidden bottlenecks that quietly cap your growth.
    • How to spot the leverage points hiding in plain sight.
    • Real examples of scaling profit without increasing client load.
    • The mindset shift you need to let go of “more = growth.”

    If growth in your business still relies heavily on your personal time and energy, this one’s going to change the way you think about what’s next.

    To go deeper on this with me, subscribe to the private podcast - Scaling without losing yourself where I share the lifestyle first framework I've used with 100+ founders to grow the business of their dreams. DM me at Instagram SCALE and I'll send the direct link.

  • Navigating the messy middle of a pivot
    Aug 24 2025

    One day you’re buzzing with a new idea for your business.
    The next, you’re ready to burn it all down.

    This is the messy middle of a pivot = when the old way doesn’t fit, the new way isn’t ready, and you’re stuck somewhere in between wondering if you’ve made a huge mistake.

    In this episode, I share why this season feels so destabilising, the common mistakes that make it harder, and how to navigate it without losing momentum (or your mental wellbeing).

    If you resonate with this and want to explore working with me inside of Luminate to make your next expansion or pivot the most transformational experience. Check it out here.

  • Breaking the ceiling you didn't know you built
    Aug 17 2025

    There’s a point in business where things look great on paper…

    Revenue is steady.
    You’ve built a name in your space.
    You’re in demand.

    But inside? You feel capped.
    Like there’s something keeping you from breaking through to that next level — and you can’t quite put your finger on it.

    That’s the “invisible ceiling.”
    It’s not the market.
    It’s not your audience.
    It’s the systems, beliefs, and ways of working you’ve unknowingly built that are now holding you back.

    In this episode, I’m unpacking:

    • What invisible ceilings actually are and why they’re so hard to spot from the inside.
    • The common patterns I see high-achievers repeat that keep them maxed out.
    • How to dismantle those ceilings so you can grow without adding more hours or clients.
    • A real client story of breaking their ceiling and what changed for them.

    If you’ve been feeling like you’ve outgrown your current way of working, this one’s going to land.

  • Locking in your mindset success codes
    Aug 7 2025

    This episode is a little different. I’m bringing you behind the scenes into Luminate Intentional Action Week, a private experience I’m running for the women inside my mastermind.

    Today’s audio is from Day 2, and it’s all about what to do when the doubt creeps in.

    Because of course it does. We’re conditioned to believe that we can only trust something once it’s real.

    Once the client has paid.
    Once the email is received.
    Once the numbers are hit.

    However, if you want to collapse timelines and create extraordinary results, you need to know how to hold the belief before the proof shows up.

    In this episode, I’ll walk you through the exact practice I gave my Luminate women to develop their own mindset codes. These are the beliefs to come back to when fear, uncertainty, or resistance try to pull you off track.

    We talk about:

    • Why resistance isn’t a red flag
    • How to flip your doubt into a personal truth
    • The mindset reframe that top performers use to stay in momentum, even without external evidence
    • What it actually means to live in the assumption that it’s already working

    If you’re navigating a stretch season, launching something new, or building a vision that doesn’t yet “make sense on paper,” this one’s for you.

  • Your life moves at the speed of your thinking
    Jul 17 2025

    Most people don’t have a strategy problem.
    They have a thinking problem.

    This episode is a call forward for high-functioning women who are doing everything right but still feeling stuck at their current level.

    I'm shining light on the invisible bottleneck in so many businesses: outdated operating systems disguised as productivity, control, or "discipline."

    We’re talking:
    → Why your current results are a mirror of your current mental infrastructure
    → How old success patterns quietly sabotage scale
    → What it actually means to upgrade from 2x logic to 10x decision-making
    → And how to recalibrate your inner world to move your business forward....fast

    🎧 Listen in and then DM me 10x if you’re ready to shift how you think, work, and lead.
