Ep 255 - Exactly how I run my biz

People assume running a business around school hours and school holidays means doing less. It actually means doing what matters, on purpose, with nothing left to chance. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I really run Life Aligned Business® week to week and day to day. From my non negotiable Renae Day, to the 3 priorities I work from instead of an endless to do list, this is a look at what life first, biz second actually looks like in practice. In this episode, I share: Why my calendar has deliberate white space, and how that space actually makes me more available to my clients, not less The daily habit I use to protect my energy before I step into biz mode Why I check email once a day, keep notifications off and say no more than I say yes How working my top 3 priorities each day, instead of a long list, keeps me focused and finished on time Why most of my content is created away from the screen, not in front of it The one internal red flag I use to catch myself before I overcommit or people please Why I protect my family's privacy online and what that looks like in practice Click Subscribe to get notified when a new episode is released 🎧 CONNECT WITH ME Let’s keep the convo going!

Ep 254 - Your next 90 days starts today

Your next 90 days starts today. I used to think quarterly planning was just about setting goals and writing down a number I wanted to hit. And then I'd get to the end of the quarter and wonder why nothing had really shifted, even when I'd technically done the things on the list. The problem wasn't the plan. It was that the plan didn't account for my life, my energy, who I needed to become or what I actually wanted to feel at the end of it. This episode is unlike any I've done before. We go beyond the goals and the income targets and into the stuff that actually determines whether you follow through. Your identity, your energy, your life and the version of you that needs to show up for this season to actually land. Because a plan that lives only in your head stays there. And a plan that doesn't include your life will cost you it. If you've been winging it quarter after quarter and wondering why nothing seems to stick, this one is for you.

Ep 253 - Why human connection is needed now more than ever

I'm so over AI content and I don't think I'm the only one. AI has taken over in so many ways. It can write a caption, draft your emails, create your content and save you hours in your week. And yes, I use it and I think it has its place. One of our most basic human needs is connection and honestly? AI is making that harder to find online. Scrolling through social media used to feel like a conversation. Now alot of what we see is AI generated, making it harder to know if there's actually a real person on the other side. And that disconnect matters because we are wired for connection. So in a world where AI is everywhere, the most powerful thing you can do for your business is show up as a human. Share your thoughts. Tell your stories. Let people hear your voice and feel your energy because that is something no AI can replicate. Human connection is your biggest competitive advantage right now, and I'm talking all about it in this episode.

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.

Ep 248 - CEO time of working ON your biz not just in it

You're working hard. But are you actually moving your business forward? There's a difference between being busy in your business and actually building it, and most women in business are spending all of their time in one place. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly why this one simple shift can change everything about how your week feels and how your business grows. We cover: ✔️ The difference between working in your business versus on it, and why it matters more than most people realise ✔️ What CEO Monday actually is and how to make it work in your limited hours ✔️ The exact things to include in your CEO time each week, from reviewing your numbers to planning your priorities to checking in on your goals ✔️ Why your mindset check in belongs inside your CEO time, not separate from it ✔️ The identity shift that changes how you lead. You are not your business, and understanding that will stop you making fear based decisions and start you leading with clarity If you've ever felt like you're always busy but never quite getting ahead, or like your weeks just happen to you rather than you leading them, this episode is exactly what you need to hear.

Ep 247 - Identity crisis and finding your way back

Have you been feeling like you don't quite recognise yourself lately? Like somewhere between building your business, showing up for your family and trying to hold it all together, you've quietly lost touch with who you actually are? In this episode, I get really honest about the identity crisis I have been moving through and what I’ve learnt about finding my way back to myself. I open up about the business hits that shook my confidence, including clients copying my work, dropping numbers and slowly losing my voice through over relying on AI. I also share the deeply personal experience of navigating a shift in myb motherhood identity as my kids grow up and need me differently. This episode is for you if you've been feeling lost, disconnected from your magic or like you're going through the motions without really feeling like yourself. You are not alone in this, and this is not the end. It's a threshold. Click Subscribe to get notified when a new episode is released 🎧 CONNECT WITH ME Let's keep the convo going!

This episode isn’t about venting or calling anyone out. It’s about what happens when your standards are tested in business and how you choose to respond in those moments. If you’ve ever had a tricky client situation, questioned your boundaries, or felt the pull to make things easier at the expense of yourself, this conversation is for you.
