Life has an interesting way of teaching us important lessons.   Whether through grief, heartbreak, sadness, or losing someone or something close to your heart, life sure knows how to help us use that experience and learn from it to better ourselves.   When I lost my Mum to cancer, I learned a lot. I learned about who I am, what I’m here to do, and how I can take better care of not just myself but those around me too.   I shared conversations with her that I’d never shared before in all...

Today, I wanted to step back, take a breather, and settle into a period of reflection. Looking at what transpired over the first three months of 2024. Reflecting on my Q1, I’ve come to realise that some of my to-do lists for my business just didn’t happen. And you know what? I’m okay with that. I’ve accepted that it’s okay to take the pressure off in quarter one as I step into a new year (especially after the year that was 2023). I stopped pushing the things that don’t matter right now and...

It’s no secret that I’m tired of the hustle culture, the boss-babe mentality, and the harmful messaging that social media seems to be consumed by of late.   It’s all about quick money, overnight success and going viral; if we’re not on the bandwagon, we’re failing. It’s making women feel like they constantly need to be more and do more to “show up”.   Authenticity is being replaced by trending. We’re giving too much energy to what everyone else is doing, and as a result, our authenticity...

One of the most profound lessons I’ve learned, not just in my business but in my life, is to embrace the balance of my masculine and feminine energies.   I grew up in a primarily masculine environment, being raised on a family farm where there was always something to do and not taking a moment to rest was considered normal or working in male-dominated industries full of hustle culture and competition. I had learned that working hard and sitting in my masculine was just a way of life.   I...

In today’s episode, I want to share the story of two Interior Design clients who’ve undergone massive transformations in their lives and businesses over the last 12 months.   They came to me burnt out and lost, running on empty, not sure what the next steps were in their business. They’d lost their spark, they were people-pleasing, and letting their clients cross boundaries. They were at a crossroads. Sound familiar?   Like so many women out there, they needed space to come up for air. ...

I’ve noticed two different themes lately with the women and creatives that I work with. They are feeling the pull to either grow their business by expanding, rebranding, hiring, purchasing new equipment, investing, or renting office or warehouse space. Or slow down within their business by taking a step back, refining business foundations, focusing on family, well-being, and simplicity.   Over the past six years, I've personally experienced the ebb and flow, the moments of pushing forward...

Building solid foundations in life and business is key for long-term sustainability, growth, and more importantly, mental, and physical well-being - which I am so deeply passionate about.   Drawing from 6 years of mentoring and over 1,400 one-on-one sessions, the biggest challenge that I see time and time again is trying to grow your business without a solid grasp on the foundations. The process, client journey, finances, tax/BAS and more just don't work themselves out on their own, we need...

It’s finally time for the final episode of the year - and what a year it’s been.    2023 has been an incredibly significant year in my world. If you’ve listened along, you’ll know that I turned 40, took time to travel with loved ones, and wrestled with grief at the loss of my mum and more recently, a very close friend. I’ve invested in myself physically, mentally and emotionally, and have learned so much about my body and my health in the process.   And whilst I’ve prioritised my growth,...

Today, I have the very special honour of introducing you to a kindred and passionate spirit whose purpose, just like mine, is to help people achieve their absolute best.   In today's episode, I’m thrilled to welcome my husband, Adrian Addamo. With his inspiring story, incredible discipline, and unique coaching style, he has so much value to share with both this community and the world.   Coming from a background of 23 years in sales and leadership, Adrian is now a coach and speaker who...

In my six years as a mentor, there’s a consistent challenge I’ve seen people face, and that’s cash flow.   It’s one of the biggest fears, biggest resistances, and biggest unknowns that I see countless business owners struggle to manage. It can be from a lack of confidence and clarity, not charging the value of their offering, not having the best tools to manage it, or all of this and more.   That’s not what I want for you. I want you to feel clear, confident, and empowered to make...

Today’s episode goes right to the core of what I do and why I do it.   It’s about asking yourself - what does life and business in flow mean to you?   To me, it’s simple. It’s a better experience in life and in business, with time and space to live life to the fullest and healthiest, it can be. It’s feeling empowered by solid foundations and a clear, strong connection to who you are.   Getting there takes time, consistency, commitment, and investment - but I can guarantee that it works...

The right story attracts the right audience.   Your story is uniquely yours and its what will draw your dream clients to your business - but being able to tell that story clearly is key.   To help us with this, I have the great pleasure of welcoming Hayley Griffiths of Hayley G Creative to the podcast. As a copywriter, Hayley is here to help you confidently tell your unique story, share your value and connect with your dream customers. For her, it’s not just about the products or services...

Sometimes, the most powerful work you can do won’t be obvious to anyone else.   It’s work that will transform your life inside and out - but it’s a journey you take within yourself.   I call it the ‘invisible work’. It’s the inner reflections, healing, and grounding that allows us to live life as our healthiest self, physically and emotionally. It’s work that people won’t necessarily see happening, but the results will make themselves abundantly clear.   It isn’t always easy for people...

We can’t do it all on our own forever.   We can’t be the creative director while we’re caught up being the receptionist. Eventually, we all need support to allow ourselves freedom to grow, expand, and move our businesses forward.   For many business owners, hiring support can feel daunting. There can be fear around letting go of work, hiring the right person, finances, the process of onboarding someone, or even releasing someone that isn’t the right fit.   Believe me, I totally get it. ...

For a while now, I’ve held a vision for what I want my life to look like - and to work towards that, I’ve built a business that supports it.   My intention from day one was always for my business to support and nourish the life I want to live. It allows time for family, gives me space to recharge, and lets me live a happy, healthy life.   It’s the freedom that so many women are dreaming of, but it doesn’t happen overnight.   We all know that life doesn’t always go to plan. As much as...

There is always room to learn more, grow further, and gain even more clarity. I’m saying this from an incredibly fresh experience. I’ve had amazing clarity in this journey of changing, rebranding, and discovering my true purpose - and yet have found a way to feel even clearer again. That’s because I’ve just come away from one of the most beautiful, soul-healing experiences of my life. I’ve shed layers of hurts, traumas, conditioning, and more, and have been rebirthed into who I am and how I...

As we grow and evolve, our businesses should move with us. As a huge advocate for building a business that supports the life you want to live, this week I’m so incredibly excited to share my rebrand with you. It’s been a long time coming, a rollercoaster of a journey, a heap of collaboration with my amazing team, and now it’s all come together into a brand that I’m proud to have built and that truly reflects what I’m here to do. And that is to be a voice of change. My purpose and my...

What if I told you that you could be doing less whilst making more? It could be as simple as taking a step back to look at the very beginning of your client’s journey with you - your booking process. The process of booking can make or break it for your client. There is a distinct difference between a comfortable, confident booking process and one that’s flaky and lacking clarity. One leaves your client feeling full of faith and trust - the other, stress and doubt. Today, let’s talk about...

The journey and transformation I’ve experienced in the last few years have been indescribable. The feeling of where I am right now is one that I want every single one of you to experience.   The feeling of hard work finally falling into place. Feeling connected to yourself, your body, and your energy. Honouring your health and your boundaries. Creating the space you need to go for the things you’re craving.   This gets to be the feeling we all can have - if we’re willing to put...

Today, it’s time to ask yourself something that might be a tough question. Are you feeling stuck or stagnant in your business?   Often, we don’t want to admit that we might be feeling stuck, lost, or overwhelmed. Maybe it feels vulnerable, maybe we feel like we shouldn’t ask for help. But the truth is that the only way to move past feeling stuck is to acknowledge it and get support if we need it. We’re not alone and we don’t have to figure it all out by ourselves.   I’d like to share...

There’s a heck of a lot of noise out there in the business world. As a result? There’s so much pressure to make your brand stand out.   As you probably know, there are so many approaches you can take with your branding, marketing, and messaging. From content pillars and SEO to post schedules and social media presence, there is endless advice to be found on the best way to show up.   Here’s the problem. If you’re getting caught up in the “shoulds” and the “have to’s”, then that’s a...

Life & Business In Flow turns two! It’s surreal to know that we’re two years, 13,000+ downloads and so many of you beautiful listeners later from that very first episode.   And at this milestone, I’d like to talk about an area of my past that I’m still so incredibly passionate about, and how it’s still such a big part of my present.   Before being a mentor, I worked in property styling in the interiors industry. I owned my own small business before moving to freelancing, then...

Ask yourself: What’s holding you back from what you want to achieve right now?   And what can you shift to make that change?   Life and business go through seasons and at times, there are going to be challenges that mean that things just don’t go the way we expected or planned. But whilst these seasons are challenging, they’re also an incredible opportunity for us to reflect, reset, and take the time to really look at what’s working and what’s not.   When we’re deep in the trenches...

Today, let’s talk about success.   When I say “success”, what comes to mind for you? It could be money, full-time hours spent working on your business, a busy team, and endless clients coming through your doors.   Or, it could be running a business that fits with your life and gives you time to spend on the things you value. A business with smooth processes that runs so efficiently you don’t have to be at your desk 8 hours a day to get everything done.   I know that for me and so...
