💚 You want to hear the truth about what it takes to survive and thrive as a business owner
💚 You’re looking for inspiration that doesn’t gloss over the tough stuff

Real talk about juggling business, family, curveballs and the honest pursuit of financial independence with branding and Canva expert, Marie-Louise O’Neill.

This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the messy, uplifting truth about building a business while caring for loved ones, navigating health challenges, and finding your version of success—one step at a time.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

💚 How Marie-Louise built her creative business after being shut out of flexible employment
💚 The reality of running a business through maternity leave, family health crises and school holidays
💚 Why recurring income (like a membership) is a lifeline, but not always the magic bullet
💚 Real strategies for staying motivated through tough times and why “just get on with it” isn’t always the answer
💚 The power of community, honest conversations and asking for help, especially when you’re the one holding it all together
💚 The truth about financial independence as a journey, not a destination

Perfect for you if:

💚 You’re balancing business with caring responsibilities or family life
💚 You want honest, practical advice about money, mindset and motivation
💚 You’re tired of “overnight success” stories and want to hear what it’s really like
💚 You need a reminder that it’s okay to take things one day at a time

The Real Truth About Financial Independence: Andy McArdle’s Story

Forget the shiny success stories. This episode is a real, honest chat with Edinburgh’s Andy McArdle – postie, family man, and side-hustle mentor – about what financial independence actually means when you’re juggling a full-time job, family, and a business.

You’ll hear:

• Why financial independence is about choices, not just money
• How Andy built a business around his job (and why he never wants to swap one full-time job for another)
• The reality of time management – what happens when you overbook yourself, and how to reclaim your evenings for family
• Andy’s mindset shifts: from working overtime for a payslip, to building residual income for freedom
• Practical tips on journaling, goal setting, and planning your life
• How networking and the right people can change everything
• The joy of small wins – like funding your child’s passion or never missing family time again

Perfect for you if:

💚 You’re working long hours but still feel stuck
💚 You want the unfiltered truth about balancing work, business, and family
💚 You’re looking for real steps to start your own journey to financial independence
💚 You need proof you don’t have to sacrifice everything for success
