#362. How I Finished My First Fitness Race in Under an Hour (And the Sentence I Banned From My Head)

I was diagnosed with a muscle disease as a kid, and a few weeks ago I found out I also have lipedema. Running has always been extra hard for me. When I graduated high school, I was thrilled I'd never have to run again. 15 years later, I willingly signed up for a fitness race - something I never believed I’d willingly do! Up until 3 weeks before, I was convinced they'd ask me to leave the course because I was too slow. Then something clicked, and I finished in 57 minutes and 43 seconds. In this Fail to Win podcast episode I tell you the 1 thought I didn't allow into my head, why I stopped saying "I hate leg day", what happened when the start shot went off and everyone passed me, and why the people around you should believe in you almost delusionally. If you're scaling and you want to be surrounded by people who believe in you that much, my Selfmade Millionaire Mastermind is where I coach women scaling toward €1M and beyond.

#361. The Real Reason It's Not Working Although You Want It SO Badly

Second car recording, still driving to my team retreat, and this one started with a question I wrote in my journal in Bali while I was stuck in bed with Bali belly. If you really want something and it's still not working, maybe you just don't want it badly enough. That's what I wrote down, and it stung, because I'm hard on myself. I set the bar high and I've missed plenty of goals I cared about. So I sat with it until I found an answer I actually believe: results equal motivation times system times environment times capacity . In this Fail to Win podcast episode I walk you through all 4, with real examples from my own life , like why my PT comes to my house, the 1 room I made camera-ready, how my podcast gets out every Tuesday, and the client whose story made me stop her mid-sentence.

#360. Life Update: Choosing My Hard And Breaking Through My Business Ceiling

At the start of this year I hit a ceiling in my business, and I knew exactly how I'd broken through every ceiling before it: on grit, adrenaline and a stubborn amount of willpower. This time I didn't want to. I've been building this business for about 10 years. I rebuilt my entire product suite a few years ago when my health wasn't doing well, and I'm genuinely proud of my clients, my team and the money I've made. I still want to grow and reach more women, and somewhere in January I realised that the next stage wasn't going to come from pushing harder. It was going to come from building a lot of boring stuff in the back end that I'd been avoiding for years. In this Fail to Win podcast episode I talk about why your business has a set point, why quitting at the ceiling means rebuilding to that exact same ceiling, what my dad's 10 km rowing habit taught me, and the fitness race I was convinced they'd pull me out of. If you're scaling and you recognise yourself in the messy middle of all this, my Selfmade Millionaire Mastermind is built for exactly this season.
