The Story I Should Have Told: Creating a Business That Works for You

Ever feel like your story doesn’t fit the mould?

In this raw and reflective solo episode, I’m sharing the business story I didn’t have the courage to tell at a recent event… until now. It’s not polished. It’s not linear. But it’s real. And if you’ve ever felt like your journey doesn’t “count” because it doesn’t look like someone else’s, this episode is for you.

I explore:
• The pressure to follow someone else’s version of success
• What paid employment AND entrepreneurship can look like, and why sometimes you need both
• Why “booked out” doesn’t always mean aligned
• Burnout, pivots, messy middles, and why they’re more common than you think
• How I rebuilt my business after realising I’d created something that looked great, but didn’t work for me
• Why you have permission to do things differently and build a business that actually fits your life

This isn’t just my story, it’s a nudge to honour your own. You don’t need to wait until your business looks “ready” to share your journey. It’s powerful because it’s evolving. And it matters because it’s yours.

Episode Highlights
• What happened when I followed the “shoulds” and hit burnout
• The real reason I didn’t share my story on stage, and what that revealed
• How success changed shape after baby number three
• The permission slips I want every mum in business to have
• What redefining business on your own terms can really look like
