If you’re feeling unhappy in your job, stuck in your career, or wondering whether to quit, this episode will challenge how you think about work and what you should do next.In this episode of the Money Honey Podcast, I’m giving you the honest, unfiltered advice I give to my closest friends and family when they tell me they hate their job.This isn’t about telling you to stay somewhere that makes you miserable. It’s about understanding why you feel the way you do, and making sure you’re not making decisions that keep you stuck in the same cycle.Because the truth is, constantly moving jobs without learning anything will only slow your progress.In this episode, I talk about:Why job hopping without purpose can hold you backThe mindset shift that will change how you see your current roleHow to use a job you don’t love to your advantageWhat you should focus on instead of office politics and environmentThe real reason you might feel stuck or unfulfilledThis is your reminder that you were hired to deliver, grow, and build something for yourself, not just to enjoy the environment around you.And if you’re going to move, make sure you’re moving with intention, not just emotion.If this hits, share it with someone who needs to hear it.--#CareerAdvice#CareerGrowth#JobSearch#WorkLifeAdvice#MindsetShift#ProfessionalDevelopment#WomenInBusiness#MoneyHoneyPodcast--Chapters00:00 Sisterly Advice for Job Unhappiness03:11 Understanding Job Expectations and Realities06:04 Delivering Results Despite Unhappiness08:53 Learning and Growing in a Challenging Environment12:02 Networking and Building Relationships14:51 Proactive Strategies for Job Satisfaction17:31 Focusing on Success Over Negativity20:26 The Pursuit of the Perfect Job—🌐 Let’s Stay Connected👉 Instagram (Manuka Media): https://www.instagram.com/manukamedia/ 👉 Instagram (@Rosalia Lazzara): https://www.instagram.com/rosalialazzara/?hl=en 👉 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themoneyhoneypodcast 👉 Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/manukamedia 👉 Website: https://manukamedia.co.uk/👉 Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/495274/160566194576820153/share—Listen to the Money Honey Podcast 🎧 new episodes drop every Wednesday!👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZruhzJaa7ny36Tjz9wxza?si=0ac1f9240f61467c👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-honey-women-in-property-finance-construction/id1704800282—Subscribe for your weekly dose of money, mindset & moves:https://www.youtube.com/@TheMoneyHoneyPodcast?sub_confirmation=1

Listen when you have lost your confidence

If you’re struggling with low confidence, self-doubt or feeling like you’re not good enough, this episode is for you. Here’s how to rebuild confidence, silence your inner critic and take action when you feel stuck.This is one of those honest, no-BS conversations I wish I had when I completely lost confidence in myself.After pouring weeks of time, money and energy into something I truly believed would work… it flopped. Hard. And I spiralled. Self-doubt took over, comparison kicked in, and that inner voice? Brutal.But here’s what I’ve learned—and what I’m sharing with you in this episode:✨ Your inner critic is not the truth✨ Confidence doesn’t come from thinking differently—it comes from doing differently✨ Comparing yourself isn’t the problem… it’s how you use it✨ You don’t need fake positivity—you need honest reframing✨ And sometimes? You just need to get over yourself and get back to workThis episode is part of my “Listen When” series—short, real conversations for when you need a reset, a shift, or just someone in your ear reminding you who you are.If you’re in that place where you feel behind, not good enough, or like everyone else is doing better than you… listen to this.And if it hits—share it with someone who needs it too.--Chapters00:00 Reigniting Confidence02:48 Understanding the Inner Critic06:04 Reframing Negative Thoughts11:45 Learning from Setbacks--#confidence #selfdoubt #mindsetshift #innercritic #selfbelief #personaldevelopment #growthmindset #entrepreneurmindset #womensupportingwomen #businessmindset #selfimprovement #motivationdaily #confidenceboost #overthinking #mindsetmatters—🌐 Let’s Stay Connected👉 Instagram (Manuka Media): https://www.instagram.com/manukamedia/ 👉 Instagram (@Rosalia Lazzara): https://www.instagram.com/rosalialazzara/?hl=en 👉 Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@themoneyhoneypodcast 👉 Linkedin: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/manukamedia 👉 Website: https://manukamedia.co.uk/👉 Newsletter: https://preview.mailerlite.io/forms/495274/160566194576820153/share—Listen to the Money Honey Podcast 🎧 new episodes drop every Wednesday!👉 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3ZruhzJaa7ny36Tjz9wxza?si=0ac1f9240f61467c👉 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-money-honey-women-in-property-finance-construction/id1704800282—Subscribe for your weekly dose of money, mindset & moves:https://www.youtube.com/@TheMoneyHoneyPodcast?sub_confirmation=1

Listen when you have been through or going through a miscarriage

If you’re looking for miscarriage support, coping with pregnancy loss, or trying to navigate the emotional reality of a missed miscarriage, this episode is here to sit with you. In this deeply personal episode of the Money Honey Podcast, I’m sharing my experience of miscarriage, something I never thought I’d speak about publicly, but felt called to share in the hope it helps someone else feel less alone. This is part of my “Listen When” series — a space for the moments in life that feel heavy, confusing, and overwhelming. If you’ve experienced a miscarriage, or you know someone who has, this episode is simply here to be with you in that moment. I talk openly about what a missed miscarriage is, the options you’re given, and the reality of navigating the NHS when you’re suddenly faced with decisions you never expected to make. From discovering there was no heartbeat, to choosing how to move forward to the emotional weight of recovery — this episode is both practical and deeply human. I also share: The three options you’re given after a miscarriage What the procedure involves and why I chose it The unexpected decisions no one prepares you for How we created a personal way to honour and remember our baby The mindset shifts that helped me begin healing This isn’t about having the right words or fixing anything overnight. It’s about knowing your experience is real, your feelings are valid, and you are not alone in this.

What Hyrox Taught Me About Business, Discipline and Backing Yourself

Hyrox, burnout, building an AI marketing app, missing events, soft launches, awards, and running your own race. In this Money Honey Podcast solo episode, I’m sharing a real behind the scenes catch up on Q4 2025, discipline, consistency and what growth actually looks like. I talk openly about training for Hyrox whilst running Manuka Media, sacrificing socials, learning to work with my body, and why finishing was always the goal. I also unpack building my AI marketing app during one of the hardest personal periods of my life, navigating soft launches, refunds, tech stress and imposter syndrome. We also talk awards. Why winning isn’t the point, why being in the room matters, and why you should be applying for more than one category. This episode is for business owners, women in finance and property, and anyone feeling behind, tired, or questioning their progress. #MoneyHoneyPodcast #WomenInBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #HyroxJourney #FounderMindset #BusinessGrowth #DisciplineOverMotivation #WomenInFinance #PersonalDevelopment

We talk openly about faith, spirituality and skepticism, what human design actually is, and how understanding your energy type and authority can completely change how you run a business, invest, lead, and make decisions. I share real examples from property investing, Manuka Media, burnout, consistency, and why trusting your gut has saved me time, money and stress. This episode is for entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals who feel “off”, struggle with decision making, or want to build a business that actually fits who they are. #MoneyHoneyPodcast#HumanDesign#IntuitionInBusiness#EntrepreneurMindset#BusinessAlignment#WomenInBusiness#PurposeDriven#LeadershipDevelopment#MindsetMatters

In this episode of the Money Honey Podcast , I sit down with Gemma Cuff, founder of Gemstone Mortgages, to talk honestly about flexibility, leadership and building a career in finance that works around real life. We unpack the realities women face returning from maternity leave, why so many leave employed roles for self-employment, and how Gemma built an award-winning mortgage brokerage with flexibility, trust and culture at its core. We also talk personal branding, LinkedIn visibility, employer branding, confidence, health, identity shifts, and what gentle growth actually looks like in business.

Later Life Mortgages for Over 50s: Risks, Misconceptions and Real Advice

Later life lending is one of the most misunderstood areas in the mortgage industry. And one of the most important. In this episode of the Money Honey Podcast , I’m joined by award-winning later life lending specialist Louise Stevens from Coraco. We unpack what later life mortgages really are, why so many mortgage brokers shy away from them, and how misadvice happens when age becomes the deciding factor instead of proper client assessment. Louise shares real insight into lifetime mortgages, retirement interest only options, lender relationships, and when later life lending is absolutely not the right solution. This episode is essential listening for mortgage brokers, advisors and finance professionals who want to serve older clients better, reduce risk, and either confidently step into later life lending or partner with specialists who genuinely care. #MoneyHoneyPodcast #LaterLifeLending #LaterLifeMortgages #MortgageBrokerUK #EquityRelease #MortgageAdvice #FinanceProfessionals #WomenInFinance

What Women Were Never Taught About Money and Self Trust

Your relationship with money affects every decision you make. From how you invest in yourself to how much you trust your own instincts in business. In this episode of the Money Honey Podcast , I’m joined by Sarah Walton to talk honestly about women and money mindset. We unpack why women hesitate more with financial decisions, how self trust impacts business growth, and why investing in yourself is often the turning point. We cover money beliefs, scarcity thinking, intuition in business, and how women in finance, property and professional services can better support both their clients and themselves. This conversation is for business owners, mortgage advisors, financial professionals and women who want to feel more confident, capable and in control of their money. #MoneyHoneyPodcast #WomenAndMoney #MoneyMindset #WomenInBusiness #FemaleEntrepreneur #FinancialConfidence #InvestInYourself #WomenSupportingWomen #WealthMindset
