Habits and rules are helpful until they aren’t. In this week's episode I get honest about the rules I followed for way longer than was helpful, and how breaking the rules we set for ourselves can remind us reminds us how important they are. Consider this an invitation to look at the rules you've created for yourself - consciously or otherwise - and make sure they're still working for you.Buy me a coffee hereTake the quiz to find out what's getting in the way of your productivityConnect with me on LinkedInJoin my mailing listMentioned in this episode:Join me for The Calm Progress SummitGet your free ticket for this 3-day virtual event for coaches, consultants and community-builders who want to make meaningful progress without adding more to their already full plate.Get your free ticket for The Calm Progress Summit

I was prompted to record this week's episode after two separate conversations where people told me their exciting ideas felt too self indulgent to pursue. When we think that way about the projects that light us up, we actively block our growth so let's unpack why that story is so common. After all, why shouldn't you indulge yourself in the things that bring you joy? Isn't that why you started your business in the first place?Take the quiz to find out what's getting in the way of your productivityConnect with me on LinkedInBuy me a coffee hereJoin my mailing listMentioned in this episode:Join me for The Calm Progress SummitGet your free ticket for this 3-day virtual event for coaches, consultants and community-builders who want to make meaningful progress without adding more to their already full plate.Get your free ticket for The Calm Progress Summit

I’ve been reflecting on my own journey as a solo business owner and how, despite achieving what I set out to achieve, I sometimes feel like I’m not doing enough. The pressure from the online business world to hit massive income goals can be overwhelming, and it’s easy to internalise that mindset. In this episode, I share my thoughts on finding fulfillment beyond what everyone else tells you success looks like, and recognising the impact you're making with your work.Connect with me on LinkedInBuy me a coffee hereTake the quiz to find out what's getting in the way of your productivityMentioned in this episode:Join me for The Calm Progress SummitGet your free ticket for this 3-day virtual event for coaches, consultants and community-builders who want to make meaningful progress without adding more to their already full plate.Get your free ticket for The Calm Progress Summit

There’s a lot of pressure on us as solo business owners to do it all, isn’t there? This week, I dive into the idea of dependence versus support. Often, we think needing help means weakness, especially when it comes to planning and decision-making. But in this week's episode I challenge that notion! Just as we wouldn’t hesitate to hire an accountant or a virtual assistant, why do we feel guilty about seeking support that helps us stay focused and productive?Connect with me on LinkedInJoin my mailing listBuy me a coffee hereMentioned in this episode:Join me for The Calm Progress SummitGet your free ticket for this 3-day virtual event for coaches, consultants and community-builders who want to make meaningful progress without adding more to their already full plate.Get your free ticket for The Calm Progress Summit
