This is the episode I've wanted to record for a while — because it's the one that feels most personal.Building a business while navigating a divorce, raising two kids, falling in love again, doing long distance, and trying to actually enjoy my life in Byron Bay... it's a lot. And I wouldn't change any of it.In this episode I get real about what it looks like to build something huge while also building a life you love. The juggle, the joy, the trade-offs, and the belief that you really can have it all — just maybe not all at once, and not without intention.Follow the pod: ⁠Instagram⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Website

People sometimes raise an eyebrow when I say I lead with love. Like it's a nice idea but not a real business strategy. I'm here to tell you it absolutely is.In this episode I share what compassionate leadership actually looks like in practice — not the theory, but the real, everyday decisions that have shaped my team, my culture and my bottom line. Kindness and profit are not opposites. In my experience, one tends to follow the other.If you've ever been told you're too nice to be in business, this one is for you.Follow the pod: ⁠Instagram⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Website

We talk about the Pilates boom, where it's heading, and what we both wish we'd known earlier. It's honest, warm and full of gold.I love this chat and I think you will too.Follow the pod: ⁠Instagram⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Website

This episode explores what it means to be a people pleaser (from a self-confessed card-carrying people pleaser in recovery) and how to unwind from this deep-set behavioural story and patterns. I also delve into the wonderful world of boundaries; what they are, how to set them, and what happens when you do.

In this episode I talk about how I manage and reduce stress. This episode goes beyond the obvious stress reduction techniques and in it I share my quite unique strategies for balancing all my priorities (running a big business, being a mother to two neurodiverse children, and managing my own health) and calming my stress levels. It's a good one and I recommend it to anyone who has a lot to juggle.
