  • 057: When Success Costs Too Much and What It Takes to Reclaim Yourself with Alenna Trusik
    Apr 28 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by Alenna Trusik, an attorney turned coach whose story is both powerful and deeply human.

    We explore what happens when high achievement, resilience and responsibility are built on survival mode. Alenna shares her journey from building a successful law practice as a single mother, through burnout, health collapse and identity loss, to ultimately reclaiming herself and her life.

    This conversation goes beyond business and success. It looks at the cost of constantly striving, the weight of perfectionism and the moment when your body forces you to listen.

    We talk about scaling back, making difficult decisions, and what it really means to honour where you are while still moving forward. Alenna also shares how her lived experience now shapes the work she does with women who feel exhausted, disconnected or unsure of what comes next.

    If you’ve ever felt like you’ve built something that no longer fits, or you’re carrying more than you can sustain, this episode will resonate deeply.

  • 056: Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working And What Actually Changes It
    Apr 21 2026

    Most founder led businesses don’t fail because the offer isn’t good enough. They struggle because the marketing isn’t working.

    In this episode, I’m unpacking why that happens and what actually shifts it. Because marketing does work. If it didn’t, nobody would be growing, scaling or selling. The real question is how you’re thinking about it, how you’re showing up for it, and whether your actions are aligned with the outcomes you say you want.

    I share the practical shifts you can make immediately, even if you’re running your business solo. We explore the role of belief, consistency, resilience and the way you respond to rejection. I also take you deeper into what’s happening beneath the surface, including nervous system responses that might be stopping you from taking action even when you know what to do.

    This is about thinking differently, showing up differently, and creating momentum in a way that actually moves your business forward.

  • 055: Why Organisation Isn’t About Tidiness And What It’s Really Costing You, with Tracy Hoth
    Apr 14 2026

    In this episode, I’m joined by Tracy Hoth, an organisational expert who brings a refreshing and deeply practical perspective to what it really means to be organised.

    We explore how disorganisation goes far beyond clutter and untidiness. It can impact your time, your relationships, your confidence, and even your health. Tracy shares how clutter creates friction in your life and why that friction is often the thing holding you back from the next level in your business and wellbeing.

    We also dive into the difference between a mindset gap and a skill gap, and why so many people stay stuck because of the identity they’ve been carrying for years. This conversation will help you see organisation in a completely different way, not as perfection, but as alignment.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched, or like things are slipping through the cracks, this episode will bring clarity and calm.
