TW: This episode references child loss This episode was recorded on the way home from a business strategy day in Kent and I very nearly did not publish it! This recording are my thoughts as they came to me, so there is repetition, there are pauses - all the things a great Podcast Strategist would tell you not to publish. But I didn't want to get in my own way by editing and perfecting what is...

In this episode of Next Level You, I’m talking about something that came up in a conversation at a recent event - questioning. A friend asked me how I developed the ability to ask good questions and it led to a really interesting reflection around listening, curiosity, coaching and connection. This episode is a reminder that sometimes the quality of our conversations changes when we stop thinking...

This week has felt significant. Not just because of the opportunities, conversations and potential new clients… but because it felt like proof that consistency, connection and continuing to show up really does matter. In this episode of Next Level You, I’m reflecting on what has probably been my best week in business since I started and the lessons behind it. I talk about: Building genuine relatio...

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the reason I started my business and how that’s evolved into helping founders build businesses that don’t rely on them for everything. After attending an event this week, I found myself reflecting on founder dependency, business growth, systems, freedom and why so many businesses are started out of necessity rather than with long-term intention. I talk about lea...

Feeling like there’s too much to do and no clear place to start? In this short episode of Next Level You, I’m talking about why that feeling isn’t just about how much is on your list. When everything lives in your head, it all feels urgent and that’s what creates the pressure. This is a simple shift to help you see what’s actually going on and where to focus next. Keywords: overwhelmed in business...

In this episode of Next Level You , I explore the role assumptions play in our thinking and the impact they can have on our businesses. After reflecting on a tragic local event and the wave of assumptions that quickly followed online, it made me think about how often we do the same thing in business - filling gaps in information with stories that may not actually be true. In this episode I talk ab...

In this episode of Next Level You , I’m talking about one of the most important, and often invisible, roles that business owners take on: project manager . As entrepreneurs we wear many hats. We’re the marketing director, sales director, operations lead and customer service team. But one role sits across all of them. Project management. Every time you launch something new in your business - a podc...

Many founders reach a stage where their business operations still depend heavily on them, even though the business itself is growing. Clients are coming in, projects are moving forward and revenue is increasing. From the outside the business often looks successful. Behind the scenes, however, the founder is usually carrying much of the operational responsibility, remembering processes, coordinatin...

In this episode of Next Level You, I’m joined by copywriter and brand voice strategist Georgina L. Chapman - the woman who’s been saying the same thing about copy and brand voice for years. It just took AI, a trust recession, and half the internet having a crisis about it for anyone to listen. In this episode we talk candidly about what’s actually gone wrong in online business - and why so much co...

We live in a world where doing never stops. Emails, notifications, content creation, client delivery, AI tools - it’s constant. And recently I’ve been noticing something: the line between thinking and doing has become blurred. In this episode, I explore the difference between strategic thinking and reactive doing and why combining the two might be diluting both. I talk about: Why responding quickl...

This is a grounded conversati...

Processes and standard operating procedures (SOPs) can sound corporate and if you’re the ideas person in your business, it might feel like the boring back-end stuff you’d rather avoid. But processes and SOPs are one of the fastest ways to make your business easier to run, easier to improve, and easier to grow. In this episode, I’m breaking down what a process actually is, what an SOP is, and why h...

This one’s a reflective one, which, to be fair, is pretty on brand for me. A friend messaged me this week and said: “You need to read this book. You’re an integrator.” So obviously… I ordered it, started reading  Rocket Fuel , and it’s given me language for something I’ve seen in business for years but never really had words for. In this episode I’m talking about the difference between a  Visionar...

In this episode of the  Next Level You  podcast, I’m doing something a little different. Instead of talking about reflection in theory, I’m sharing exactly how I reflected on this past week, including what worked, what didn’t, and what I’m changing as I move into the next week. I walk you through: How a simple time audit revealed where my time was really going Why back-to-back meetings quietly kil...

In this special anniversary episode of the  Next Level You , I’m reflecting on one full year of podcasting, what it’s taught me about consistency, intention, and the impact of simply showing up, even when it feels messy or imperfect. I recorded this episode on 1st January 2026, exactly one year after I sat down and recorded my very first episode. In it, I share why I started the podcast, what I’ve...
