Fear of public speaking can hold you back in business, even when you know your work is solid. This episode shares practical tools to build confidence in speaking so you can communicate clearly on client calls, in meetings, on video, or on stage.

It covers how clarity creates confidence, how to choose one core message as your anchor, and why courage matters more than perfection when you’re finding your voice. You’ll also get simple ways to practise your message, reduce overthinking, and build stronger communication skills through repetition and a supportive community.

If you had one minute to speak to the world, what would you say?

That’s your starting point. Find the core message. Say it out loud. Repeat it until it feels like yours. Use it everywhere. Client calls. Sales conversations. Social captions. Videos. Team meetings.

Your voice has memory. The more you practise, the less you perform.

And that’s the goal. Not to become a different person. Just to become more of yourself, out loud.

Because your voice deserves to be heard and your business needs you to lead with it.

If you’re feeling stuck in your business, it’s probably not because you lack talent or brains. It’s those sneaky little excuses that quietly take the wheel and steer you off course.

Sometimes you’re avoiding the hard things and expecting results.

It’s not about lacking intelligence or drive it’s the small excuses, burnout, and comfort zones that quietly hold us back.

I’ll break down why businesswomen stay stuck by looking at the boring, repetitive actions that actually move the needle, like consistent follow-ups, tracking numbers, and sticking to your message, even when it feels tedious. You’ll hear why running your business on empty isn’t a badge of honour, and why your health is a non-negotiable foundation for long-term success. I talk about the importance of getting out of your bubble after COVID, and why real growth happens when you show up in person and connect with others.

If you’re tired of feeling stuck, dodging the boring work, or letting the wrong people influence your headspace, this is your call to get honest and make a change. Tough love, real talk, and practical tips to help you stop wondering why businesswomen stay stuck and start thriving. The truth is, you already have what it takes, now it’s time to get out of your own way and put it to work.

You know that month where you’ve delivered the work, the invoices are out, the client is thrilled and suddenly… silence? You check your bank account. It’s not panic. But it’s close. That, my friend, is the feast and famine cycle and it’s exhausting, financially and mentally.

In this episode, we’re talking recurring revenue in a real-life way, not a “make money while you sleep” way, because predictable income is what takes you out of survival mode and puts you back in the driver’s seat.

We’ll break down what recurring revenue actually is, why it changes how you lead and why it gives you more headspace than you expect. I’ll share what shifted for me when I moved from one-off work into a membership model, plus a client example that shows how recurring revenue can be built with way less chaos than constant launching.

We’ll also talk about the part people skip: you can’t just make something “monthly” and hope it works. Recurring revenue comes from ongoing value, clear deliverables and a rhythm that supports both you and your clients. And if you want to scale it, we’ll touch on why selling to organisations can be a game changer, and how recurring revenue lets you plan, invest and lead like a CEO instead of patching holes every month.
