Busy ≠ Productive: How to Build a Business That Runs Without You

If you’ve ever found yourself resizing a Canva image at 11pm or manually replying to customer emails for the hundredth time this episode is for you.
I get it. You started your business for freedom, flexibility, and impact… not to become the Chief Everything Officer. But somewhere along the way, the hustle turned into burnout, and your to-do list became your boss.
In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to step out of the day-to-day and into your role as CEO. I’ll walk you through how to identify the tasks that are draining your time and energy, how to delegate or automate them, and how to get back to doing the work that actually grows your business.
I’m sharing real talk from my own journey, the tools I use, and a simple action plan you can start today to reclaim your time—and your vision.
Let’s get you back in the driver’s seat.

How to leverage FOMO without being sleazy

When it comes to promotions, there’s one word that can either make you cringe… or cash in: FOMO.
In this episode, I’m sharing why FOMO isn’t a dirty word — it’s actually your secret weapon for getting customers off the fence and into action, without sounding pushy, salesy, or desperate.
I’m telling you a story about one of the worst marketing decisions I ever made (spoiler: it involved a dusty TV screen and a golf club), and what it taught me about creating real urgency the right way.
We’re diving deep into how to use urgency and scarcity ethically — with tips you can actually apply today, like:
How to create momentum even if your numbers are small

Why your first and last day emails matter more than anything else

How to leverage SMS and real-time tools to boost last-minute sales

Plus, how one of my accelerator members turned a personal birthday into a brilliant, heart-driven campaign (that her customers loved!)

If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “icky” about selling, or worried you were being annoying by sending that extra email…

This episode is for you.

Let’s reframe FOMO — from pushy to powerful — together.
See you inside,

Coach, Mentor, Strategist and mastermind – what’s the difference?

Ever wondered why you’re putting time, money, and energy into business coaches, masterminds, or programs… and still not seeing the results you were promised?
Trust me, I’ve been there—and I’ve learned the hard (and expensive) way. In this episode, I peel back the curtain on the actual roles of coaches, mentors, strategists, and masterminds.
Because here’s the truth: hiring the wrong kind of support at the wrong time isn’t just unhelpful—it can totally stall your growth.
I’m sharing the real talk on what a $45K mastermind taught me, how to know when you’re ready for strategy vs. coaching, and why getting clarity on your goals is the key to choosing the right person to help you hit them.
Whether you’re just getting started or already scaling but stuck in the weeds, this episode will help you figure out what kind of support will actually move the needle—and what to avoid.
This one’s part inspiration, part strategy, and a whole lot of “I wish I knew this sooner.”

How to Price your Product to Increase Sales – PART 1

Back when I first opened my business, the economy looked a lot like it does now.
It was the Global Financial Crisis, people were tightening their belts, interest rates were rising…
But there were still things that would sell.
And for me, it was these super cool wet/dry bags that i used to import from America (fun fact, nearly 20 years later I STILL use those same bags, but I digress).
I started out selling them for $29.95, but with exchange rates blowing out, fuel price increase affecting shipping prices and import duty, I had no idea how one of my competitors could still be selling them for $29.95.

What were they doing, that I wasn’t?

Inventory Math: The Business Mindset That Will Save You Thousands

Are You Paying Rent on Your Own Inventory?
What if I told you that some of your inventory is quietly draining money from your business every single month—without you even realizing it?
And what if I told you that freeing up cash flow in your business has nothing to do with selling more, running ads, or tweaking your pricing—but everything to do with understanding when your stock stops making you money?
So when Christine broke it down for me, I was hooked.
Here’s the deal: Every SKU you own is paying rent.
Whether it’s sitting in a fulfillment center or in the corner of your office, at some point, that inventory shifts from being an asset to a liability. And the longer it sits, the more it eats into your profit.
I used to think of inventory as something that just existed until it sold. But after this conversation, I see it differently—and I think you will too.
Listen in and let me know what you think.

Can the Moon Really Boost Your Revenue? – Lucy Bloomfield

I went into this conversation with a very healthy dose of scepticism. But as Lucy explained how women’s hormonal cycles impact spending habits—and how financial markets have long documented the influence of lunar phases—I couldn’t help but lean in.
Here’s the gist: there are certain times of the month that are the prime time for selling—your customers are more inclined to buy, spend impulsively, and say yes to your offers.
There are other times – not so much. That’s when resistance is higher, spending slows, and conversions take more effort.
She’s been tracking sales data across multiple businesses, and the results? Eye-opening.

Do Customers Really Care About Sustainability

According to a 2022 NielsenIQ study, 78% of global consumers say that companies should be environmentally responsible. That sounds amazing, right?
But here’s where things get interesting—if that were really the case, why are businesses like Shein and Temu thriving?

Clearly, something isn’t adding up.

And when the amount of sales that Temu turned over was in the double digit BILLIONS, then, you have to ask yourself…
“Do customers really care about sustainability?”

Here are my thoughts…
