Episode 88 - My Business Made a Loss in 2026, And I'm ok With That.

Yes, you did read that right, and no, it's actually not just for clickbait. It’s the first week of July, we’ve just begun a new Financial year and I want to take you behind the scenes on the numbers of my business for the 25/26 financial year. Because I want to talk about what it means to make a loss in your business, and why that might not be the worst thing in the world, wether you’re in the early years, or you’re 10 years in like I am. Now I didn’t set out to make a loss this financial year, and when I first got the tax planning email from my accountant, my first reaction wasn’t to be thrilled at seeing a sizeable loss recorded against a business I’ve worked really hard in for 10 years. But then I reminded myself that this didn't happen to us—it happened because of decisions we made on purpose. We chose to invest. We knew it would affect this year's numbers. Now the job is to make sure those investments actually pay off.In this episode I'm talking about the real numbers of my business this year, playing the long game, investing in growth and the measures of success... plus we talk a bit about tax benefits and what making a loss actually means in a positive sense. Oh yes, you best believe there are always silver linings when you run your own business and I'm sharing them with you!

Episode 87 - How Do You Do It All...

I want to talk about “doing it all.”I’ve had a few people recently — friends, clients, people I work with — ask me, “How do you do it all?”And honestly? I don’t.I really want to unpack that, because I think we throw this phrase around constantly, especially around women in business. Like doing it all is somehow the goal. Or the benchmark of success.But the truth is, I’m not doing it all.I have an incredible team who does a lot of it with me. I have a really supportive family who help with my kids when I need it. I have people around me who carry parts of the load. And in this episode I'm sharing what that looks like with you, and how it might look for you too. But mostly, I'm using this episode to help you ask a different question. Not 'how can I do it all' but 'Who can help me get there'.

Episode 85 - BTS of Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show

Hi loveliesSo this year, I decided it was time to get involved in Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show. 10 years into floristry and now felt like the time to jump in this incredible event in the floral calendar and DAMN am I glad I did. My first ever floral competition, creating a 6m x 2m hanging installation in another city... and we brought home the Bronze Award and I could not have been more thrilled. If this year is all about Elevation and Intention for me, this was an incredible way to do both of those things. In this episode I'm taking you behind the scenes of my Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show experience, sharing the logistics, the costs, the camaraderie, my mindset throughout the week and the incredible lessons I learnt from this experience. So grab yourself a cup of tea. If you've ever considered getting involved in a floral competition or wanted to know what it really looks like to be a part of something like this - this episode is for you. And if you're looking to elevate your floral business this year with intention - now is the time to join me in The Bloom-Print Membership. See you there x

Episode 84 - All my houseplants are dying: The things I'm putting down right now, to go all in on my goals

Well hello my loves, it's been a while!Right now, there's a lot going on in my business, we're moving premises, opening a retail store, heading over to Melbourne for the Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, planning our upcoming courses, and all in all, taking the business up a few levels of elevation. It's a really exciting start to the year, and also it's pretty full on. And lately I've had a few people say 'I don't know how you're doing it all' 'are you ok though' 'how are you managing all of this' These are all valid points. Really they are. And the truth is, I'm feeling a little bit stressed, but mostly I'm doing pretty good and I'm incredibly content with life and business right now. So in this episode, I'm sharing with you what I'm putting down, in order to go all in on my goals and the strategies and mindset I'm employing to quote unquote 'manage it all'. Whenever I set a new goal, I also think about what might have to be sacrificed in order for me to focus on that. What might need to change in my day to day so I can get the things done that need to get done. And which of the balls I'm juggling will bounce if I drop one, and which would smash. So if you're creating a goal, decide what you need in order to do it and what you need to put down in order to pick this up.

Episode 82 - 2016: More than just a trend

Hello my loves! I want to talk about the 2016 trend. You will have seen this all over insta and I am really loving it and that’s because 2016 feels a little special to me, because for me it’s actually a pivotal moment - the year I started my floristry busieness, so the significance of 2016 and 2026 was something I wanted to share anyway and now it’s a trend. So yay!I started my floristry business in 2016 when I was 30 so yes, I’m about to be 40 and this year marks 10 years ago we started, me and all my personalities, from my 10 x 6 ground floor apartment dining room table. So this year I’m celebrating a decade in my business, a decade of floristry.You will have heard the phrase 'don’t compare your year one for somebody else’s year 10' And I completely agree, you absolutely should not be comparing your one to someone else’s 10 but it doesn’t mean that you can’t go after what the person at that year 10 is doing, it just might take time to get there. It probably will in fact, and it probably should. But if you’re not aiming for it how will you possibly achieve it …by accident? So in this episode I'm winding the clock back to 2016 and sharing with you the key differences between my business in year 1 and now in year 10 and giving you an indepth insight to what my business really looks like now.

How are you? How has the year begun for you?I'm starting the year in a strange energy - there’s the expectation of the new year energy, the buzz of new goals and things to chase, and in reality, all of those things have been present for me, they’ve just also been mixed in with school holidays, caring for children, working from home more and wanting to be present in all of those things... the juggle is real... and it's only a few more weeks before a more efficient routine can drop in.My words of the year for 2026 are ELEVATE with INTENTION Everything I’m doing this year is under the guidance of elevation. And every move I make is curated with Intention. Because I know this year is going to be big. Because I intended it so, and because environmentally it is. In this episode, I'm sharing what my 2026 looks like, and how I plan to make $1million in my business this year. Feel uncomfortable about that, then lean in and listen in and let's change your thinking about what's possible for you too!

Episode 80 - 2025 Wrapped in a Bow

Ahhhhh it’s that time of year. The 2025 season is coming to an end. I’m just waiting for that audio to come back next week haha. This year has been big on so many levels. And I’ve actually loved this year. It’s been one of my best years in business, I’ve travelled alot, I’ve learnt SOOO much, my relationship with my husband has been really strong, I feel more connected to my kids, myself and really who I want to be and how I want to show up in the world and as I was writing this episode, I felt myself going to downplay it, justify it even, that if there’s been lots of highs there must have been alot of mud to wade through to get there. And really there hasn’t. Now I know that’s not everyone’s experience of 2025 but for me it’s been a really amazing year. And I’ve really enjoyed it. So to end the year, I want to share with you, the key things that have served me this year, that I’m packing in my back, and throwing on my back with my face beaming toward the sun for 2026. The key lessons from 2025 that will be guiding me firmly into 2026. And nows the point where I ask what will be guiding you through 2026? What things from this year have you taken lessons from, what’s been your best attribute that’s pushed you through this year? What’s made and business easier for you in 2025? Carry those through, keep them in your back pocket for when you need it most. Happy New Year my loves x
