In this episode, I explore a truth that comes up time and time again in my conversations with founders: the search for the “magic formula” to success. We’re told to follow the steps, buy the blueprint, and copy what works for others. But what if that’s not the way to build something that truly fits you? I share my own story of realising that no amount of generic advice could give me the business I actually wanted. The turning point came when I started experimenting through small, quiet, delib...

The Strength in Silence: Embracing Quiet Disruption
Words hold power, and lately, I’ve been thinking about one in particular: quiet. For decades, I believed that to succeed, you had to be loud, visible, and performative. That the louder you were, the more impact you’d make. But then I started noticing something. Quiet isn’t weakness. It’s strategy, intention, and subtle power. It’s how real disruption happens, without applause, permission, and burning out. In this episode, I share what being Quietly Disruptive means, why acting deliberately an...

The Social Media Lie: How the Loudest 10% Define Success for Everyone Else
What you see online isn’t the full story, and it’s time to stop letting it define your business. I used to scroll endlessly, comparing myself to every “success story” I saw on LinkedIn, Instagram, or X (Twitter). The launches, the funnels, the shiny tips, and the 10k-month boasts. I thought I was missing something, that I had to do it their way to succeed. Then I learned the truth: 80% of social media content is created by just 10% of users. On LinkedIn, 1% of users create almost everything w...

Your Dream Business Isn’t Out There. It’s Yours to Design.

I want to bust the myth of the “perfect business model”, that idea that success comes from copying someone else or following the latest blueprint. I know firsthand how tempting it is to try and replicate another path, but over the years, I’ve learned that what works for someone else rarely works for you. In this episode, I share how giving myself permission to experiment, adapt, and design my busines...

You’re never ready. Don’t wait for the right time.
This episode will change how you think about readiness, and how you take action in your life and business.
