  • Overthinking is the reason you're stuck...
    Jan 2 2026

    In this episode of Mib Speaks, Leona Burton addresses the common issue of procrastination among women in business, particularly the tendency to overthink decisions. She emphasizes that overthinking stems from fear rather than a lack of ability and encourages listeners to shift their mindset from analysis to action.

    By setting deadlines, taking small steps, and embracing imperfection, women can build confidence and clarity in their decision-making processes. The conversation highlights the importance of choosing oneself and taking action to create meaningful change in life and business.

  • Forget the Fluff....
    Jan 1 2026

    In this episode of MiB Speaks, Leona Burton cuts straight through the noise and challenges women in business to stop hiding behind “learning” and start leading through action. She breaks down how overconsumption of information often becomes a comfort zone—one that feels productive but keeps real progress just out of reach.

    Leona dives into what actually moves the needle in business: clarity, consistency, and visibility. No fluff. No overwhelm. Just the fundamentals that, when done well, create real momentum and sustainable results.

    This conversation goes deeper than strategy. Leona speaks candidly about mindset, personal responsibility, and the uncomfortable truth that growth requires discomfort. She reminds listeners that success doesn’t come from waiting to feel ready—it comes from showing up anyway.

    This episode is a bold call to action for women in business to simplify, commit, and focus on what truly matters. Less noise. More action. Real results.
