This episode is a heartfelt look at a year that unfolded nothing like I expected. From illness to surgery delays to supporting my son through a frightening heart problem, 2025 pulled me in every direction.

It was also the year I pivoted from full time wedding photography into mentoring and business education, a shift driven by intuition, exhaustion and the realisation that my work and life needed to evolve. What emerged were lessons that reshaped how I think about success, strategy, time and self belief.

I share the messy middle behind the pivot, the mindset wobbles that came with starting a podcast, the fear of being seen and the power of finding rooms where you actually belong.

If you have ever run a business while juggling ADHD, motherhood, health issues or simply being human, these lessons will feel familiar. This is your reminder that growth often looks like taking one brave step at a time, even when the path feels uncertain.

Highlights:

(01:44) When illness and delayed surgery shaped the entire first half of 2025

(05:58) The moment an inner voice said, You need to stop shooting weddings now

(10:22) Navigating her son's heart emergency while running a business

(14:48) The shift from overwhelm to realising her goals were already being met

(20:10) Why weekends finally became her own after years in photography

(27:35) The lesson that you belong in the room, even when imposter syndrome says otherwise

As the year comes to a close, this episode looks honestly at what success really means when you run your own business. Spoiler, it is not how many clients you book or how full your calendar looks. It is whether you enjoy how you spend your time.

I share the moment I realised that being busy was not the same as being fulfilled, and how the constant push to be booked and in demand kept me stuck in a cycle that looked successful from the outside but left me exhausted on the inside. I also talk about the turning points, including a powerful personal story that shifted how I viewed time altogether.

From pricing and profit margins to building assets that earn while you rest, this is a reminder that your days matter more than any metric.

Highlights:

(01:34) Why end of year reflections often focus on the wrong measures

(03:22) A conversation at the gym that revealed how trapped many people feel

(05:46) Realising that being fully booked was not the same as being happy

(07:13) The moment a family loss changed how I valued time

(10:12) Practical ways to free up time in your business without losing income

(12:48) How digital products and courses became the key to reclaiming my days

If your brain feels full, your to do list looks wild and the online world is shouting at you from every angle, this episode is a big exhale.

I’m sharing how overwhelm shows up for me, how ADHD shapes the way my mind processes busy seasons, and why even the most passionate business owners have moments when everything feels like a lot.

You’ll hear honest stories, simple shifts and the small practices that genuinely help me reset when my head feels foggy and the pressure piles up.

We also dig into what causes that “too many tabs open” feeling, especially during chaotic weeks like Black Friday. From changing your environment for a few minutes to rethinking your priorities, this episode walks you back to clarity without adding more to your plate.

You’re not behind, you’re not failing, and you’re definitely not alone, my friend.

Highlights:

(01:48) Why Black Friday week turns the volume up on overwhelm

(04:10) How ADHD shapes decision fatigue and brain overload

(07:20) The first step that actually stops overwhelm in its tracks

(11:56) The wedding planning moment that changed how I prioritise everything

If there is one lesson I wish I had learnt sooner, it is that hoping for the best is not a marketing strategy.

In this episode, I share the honest truth about how I used to post on social media with no plan, no intention and absolutely no clue. I talk about the moment it clicked that visibility, not perfection, is what actually grows a business, especially when you are doing it all yourself.

Once I understood that more eyes on my content meant more sales, everything changed. I stopped hiding behind my work and started showing up with purpose.

If you have ever felt invisible online or unsure how to get people to notice your brilliant work, this episode will give you clarity, confidence and a practical starting point for today.

Highlights:

(01:12) The moment a stranger at a networking event changed everything

(03:41) The early days of posting and praying for bookings

(05:22) Why visibility, not talent, determines who gets paid

(07:58) How touch points build trust in a crowded online world

(10:44) Why showing your real face matters more than ever

(13:29) The two offers created to help you get seen and sell with ease

This year has been one giant lesson in patience, trust, and surrender.

I started 2025 trying to force clarity - recording and deleting the same episode about Black Friday sales seven times - before finally realising the truth hit me in the shower:

I’m in the messy middle of my business. The in-between. The bit that feels like everything’s crumbling, when really, it’s just rearranging.

After years of being in full control as a single mum running a photography business, this season has been about letting go, trusting my intuition, and allowing the next chapter to unfold.

If you’re stuck in that foggy middle ground too, I promise - clarity will come. One step at a time.

Highlights:

(01:10) – The year my business started to shift

(03:45) – What the messy middle actually feels like

(05:25) – Realising it’s not falling apart, it’s rearranging

(07:50) – The hardest lesson: patience and trust

(10:40) – My shower epiphany and what came next

(13:30) – Finding calm and clarity in the unfolding

In this episode, I’m sharing the real-life story of how I earned over £3,000 while recovering from surgery.

I was on the sofa, sore throat and all, when a Stripe notification pinged through. This wasn’t luck, it was the result of systems I’ve built over time through online courses and digital products that work even when I can’t.

If you’ve ever wished your business could make money while you rest, this one’s for you.

I walk through the simple steps I took to create a quick flash sale, and how years of turning my knowledge into assets now give me freedom, stability, and space to heal when I need it most.

Highlights:

(02:40) – How a general anaesthetic led to a lightbulb moment about business freedom

(04:45) – The £3,063 payout that hit my account the day after surgery

(06:50) – Running a 50% flash sale with one email and a coupon code

(08:10) – Why packaging your knowledge into digital courses changes everything

(10:40) – Setting up systems that pay you even when you’re unwell

(12:55) – The real reason monetising your expertise is a total game changer

Hosting a live event sounded like a brilliant idea... until I was knee-deep in checklists, coffee cups, and last-minute tech hiccups.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real lessons I learned from putting together my own marketing event, including the bits that went right, and the bits that had me questioning my sanity.

If you’ve ever thought about hosting your own event, or just want a peek at what really goes on behind the scenes, this one’s for you. I’ll be honest about what I’d do differently next time, and how it all turned out in the end.

Here are the highlights:

(00:54) - The surprising reason I decided to host my own event

(03:17) - What worked brilliantly on the day

(06:45) - My biggest mistake in planning

(10:22) - The one thing I’d never skip again

(13:30) - What this experience taught me about marketing and mindset

In this episode, I talk about one of the biggest game-changers in my business journey: investing in education.

For years, I tried to figure everything out on my own, juggling motherhood, business, and burnout. It wasn’t until I started investing in courses and mentoring that everything shifted.

I share how changing my mindset from “how much will this cost?” to “how much will this allow me to make?” completely transformed my results.

You’ll hear real success stories from my clients, the truth about why waiting for the “right time” is a myth, and how education gives you more than knowledge - it gives you freedom, confidence, and clarity.

Here are the highlights:

Why trying to do it all alone keeps you stuck (02:00)

The mindset shift that changed everything (04:10)

How investing in education accelerates your success (05:45)

A client’s £40,000 success story (06:30)

Why there’s no “perfect” time to start (13:10)

The real cost of staying stuck (15:30)

Why those who pay, pay attention (17:45)

How investing builds confidence and professionalism (19:10)
