Over a third of businesses in Australia are started by women over 35 and we’re doing it at almost double the rate of men. But we’re not just chasing profit,we’re chasing freedom, flexibility, and purpose. In this episode, Phoebe shares why so many women are walking away from the corporate treadmill to build something of their own and what it really takes to make your business financially sustainable.
From the untold story behind the female entrepreneurship boom to the cold, hard truth about subscription costs, pricing your offers, and paying yourself more than a guilt-soaked 1% this is your no-BS, emotionally honest, number-crunching chat about building a business that actually supports you.
If you’re a woman in midlife thinking of starting a business or knee-deep in one and wondering, “Is this even working?” this one’s for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
