Ep 250 – I pressed record in 2019 and I haven't stopped since

In 2019, I pressed record for the first time and honestly had no idea what I was doing or where it would go. Six years and 250 episodes later, here we are.This episode is a celebration and a reflection. I'm taking you back to where it all started, through every pivot, name change, and season that shaped what the Life Aligned Business® Podcast is today.We started as Embracing the Natural Life, where I shared my passion for a low tox lifestyle while I was in the leadership ranks of doTERRA. Then came Embracing Life after I completed my Life Coaching Certification in April 2020. Then The Mum Boss Podcast as my focus shifted to supporting Mums in business. And eventually, Life Aligned Business® Podcast, the home it was always growing toward.250 episodes puts this podcast in the top 2.1% of all podcasts globally. I don't say that to brag. I say it because showing up consistently for six years, through life changes, business pivots, and the moments I nearly stopped, is something worth acknowledging.This one is personal. I hope it reminds you that staying the course, even when it looks different to how you imagined, is always worth it.Click Subscribe to get notified when a new episode is released 🎧CONNECT WITH MELet’s keep the convo going!

You're working hard.

Ep 245 - You don’t need more hours, you need better boundaries

What I see over and over again with the women I work with:It’s not that there isn’t time, it’s that your time has no protection.You sit down to work→ and get pulled into messagesYou close your laptop for the day→ but jump back on later “just quickly”You plan your week→ but end up reacting to everyone else’s prioritiesAnd slowly your business starts taking over your life.Here’s what boundaries really do:They build self-trustEvery time you follow through on what you said you would doThey build self-loveBecause you start showing yourself that your time matters tooAnd they create spaceFor your business to grow without spilling into everything elseIf you are ready to go deeper with your boundaries, this will be a topic as a pillar of the foundations I will share in my Free Live Training: 1 Hour to Take Back Control of Your WeekJoin me live on Thursday 26th March at 1pm AEDT where I’ll walk you through how to design a clear, intentional week that supports both your life + business - so you can move things forward without working every spare moment, carrying the mental load 24/7, or feeling behind.You’ll leave with practical shifts you can implement straight away to create more focus, more time, and more breathing room in your week.Secure your spot hereCan’t make it live?
