It's a People Thing

Marketing is the thing I get asked about most, so this week I’m taking you inside layer five of my book, The Natural Order of Things . This layer is called Speaking Up, and it’s all about creating marketing that feels true, sustainable and rooted in the people you’re here to serve. In this episode: Why so much marketing advice leaves soul-led women exhausted and still invisible Why radical authent...

It was our monthly full moon circle last night in my community, The Circle . We were talking about the things we carry in our businesses long after they’ve stopped feeling right. The programme we spent a small fortune on. The offer we built and then rebuilt. The things where the sunk cost stops us from letting them go. As we were talking one of our lovely members said: “but then it’s like you’re p...

Rituals give the day its edges. They give you the thresholds to walk through and then the door to close behind you at the end of the day. So, I invite you to think about rituals that you could introduce into your business that give your day edges. How can you mark that threshold of beginning your working day so that it doesn’t start when you’re still lying in bed reaching for your phone? How could...

Autumn is my absolute favourite season, and I have a few reasons… It’s beautiful, for one. But for me it’s also the season of reflection and release, and the releasing that happens now makes room for my second favourite season, winter. Winter is when I’m at my most creative, under blankets, writing and making and doing all the things I love. Autumn clears the space for it. I’ve been in the woods c...

There's a massive contradiction that I'm witnessing in the zeitgeist at the moment - on the one hand, we're talking about the huge shift that we want to happen. We're talking about the New Era. I was part of the New Era series hosted by my dear friend Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine with a bunch of amazing women all talking about this, and NONE of whom fall into category of spiritual elitists that...

Step into a little time warp with me… so, I recorded this episode before my week in Glastonbury with Rebecca Campbell for my Sacred Circle Facilitation training. But I’m writing this to you after my week away. The Gill who recorded this podcast episode, isn’t the Gill tapping away at the keyboard right now. Us coaches love throwing around the word ‘transformational’ - well, trust me, I’ll be using...

On the podcast this week, I’m talking about how to know whether you’re making a good decision for yourself and your business when there are so many voices out there telling you that they are the ones with the must-have solution you need… First thing first, and this will be no surprise, we’re talking intuition. You need to get really familiar with your body’s physical ‘yes’ and ‘no’ signals, AND yo...

Thank you to everyone who joined Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine and I for our live convo earlier. What a pleasure it was to go deep into a topic that is so close to my heart - how women who learn how to connect with, listen to, trust and ACT on their intuition are the women who get to build the most aligned, sustainable, and profitable businesses. We’re just not willing to tolerate the extractive...

On the podcast this week, we’re stepping into autumn, a time that always feels to me like a second Spring in terms of energy. It’s so easy to make ourselves wrong for slowing down, to feel guilty about projects that stalled over summer, but I believe that quiet period was just your inner well refilling - a completely natural and necessary part of your year. In this episode I’m talking about how to...

You know when you're really close to something, you don't always pause to check that people are getting it the way you do? Well I came face to face (well, email to email) with just that last week. Someone dropped me a line saying that they'd been listening in to the podcast for quite a while now, (and they caveatted with 'this might be a stupid question'... (trust me, it's not)... but what does it...

In this week's episode I share why I failed to upload an episode last week (after 4 years of weekly consistency!). There are a couple of reasones: 1. Summer Slowness - my energy has been diverted to other creative pursuits like writing, reading and painting, but as always with me, as we stroll into September my energy shifts up a gear and I'm back! 2. My podcast editor was on holiday. 3. I've brok...

Something a bit different this week, friends. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with Nadia Adan when speaking at the ICF Converge Summit in Paris earlier this year. Nadia is a transformational mentor and Quantum Human Design™ specialist who helps women stop living their "should life" and start making intentional choices that truly feel like them. After a decade in hospitality and travel tech,...

Do you have a support circle? Those people in your life that you trust implicitly to tell you the truth (even when you don’t want to hear it). The people you can call when you want to rant about something and you know beyond any doubt that you’re being unreasonable, but you just don’t care… it’s got to come out. The people who don’t automatically try to find a solution for you, unless you specific...

On the ReWild Your Business podcast this week, I'm talking to Maria Cussell, an experienced leadership coach who helps high achieving leaders become even more effective by developing insight and understanding to move quickly to action, bringing them more success and fulfilment, both professionally and personally. Maria spent over twenty five years at Barclays before building a practice of her own,...

Most money mindset advice sees revenue as a straight line, always climbing, every month meant to beat the last. But when you think about it, nothing alive, nothing that grows, ever grows that way, and I think that mismatch is where so much of our money shame comes from. In this episode I walk through the four seasons of money: spring as planting and investment, summer as the unglamorous tending wi...

If I had to start my coaching business again from nothing, right now, in the back half of 2026, I know exactly what I'd do, and it isn't what most newly qualified coaches are doing. In this episode I talk through the four things I'd focus on before anything else: having real, one-to-one conversations instead of building an audience, getting actual proof from real clients before touching my brandin...

If you can't describe what someone gets from working with you in one breath, this episode is for you. I'm talking about why coaches pad their offers with modules, bonuses and add-ons (and why it's usually a confidence problem, not a value problem). I walk you through the three things every simple offer needs: format, price and promise. Have you signed up for my FREE workshop yet? 1pm on 21st July:...

Your business doesn't become real the day you qualify. It becomes real the day someone says yes, and pays you to coach them... This episode is about that first yes, and why most newly qualified coaches are sitting further away from it than they need to be. Coach training teaches you to coach. It rarely teaches you to get paid. So you land in the gap between qualified and paid, and start believing...

Here we go... the seventh and final layer of The Natural Order of Things , the one that really decides everything: Deep Transformation. Here's the reframe at the heart of this episode. Your job was never to teach, coach, or deliver content. Your job is to hold space while your client does the work only they can do. You can't transform anyone. You can build the container that lets them transform th...

There’s one word that can shift the energy in a room faster than almost any other. Say it to a circle of purpose-driven, creative, soul-led women and you’ll see a collective clenching… The word, of course, is sales . And I understand the flinch completely, because most of what we’ve absorbed about selling, consciously, but mostly unconsciously, through the whole culture of online business and thro...

I jumped on for a cheeky bonus episode this week because I genuinely could not sit on this a moment longer. The Wild Way is open, and I’m ready like a nervous, over-prepared host, to welcome you inside. The Wild Way is the community I’ve wanted to belong to for years, so I’ve gone and built it, which feels like the only sensible response to wanting something that didn’t exist yet. I’ve run members...

So, our Natural Order Of Things mini series continues... Almost everyone does this... they have an idea for a business on Monday and they're trying to market it by Tuesday, having sailed right past the four layers that would have made the marketing actually work. And then they wonder why nobody's listening. This week we're on layer five: Speaking Up. The marketing layer. And I won't let you near i...

You know the feeling. You read something and stop dead. "Yes. Exactly that. I've never heard it put that way before." That flash of recognition is what a worldview does, and it's the difference between being remembered and being white noise. This week we're into layer four of our 7 part mini series, The Natural Order Of Things: your worldview. Your thought leadership. Your distinctive, lived, hard...

Most offers are built from the wrong starting point - the market. What's already out there. What seems to be working for other people. And when you build that way, the best you can produce is a competent version of something that already exists. In this episode, part three of The Natural Order of Things series, I'm exploring layer three of the seven-part business diagnostic: Soul Work . This is wh...

Your brand isn’t your logo. It isn’t your colour palette. It’s the truest expression of who you are, and in this episode, I'm diving deep into Layer 2 of The Natural Order of Things framework: Truest Expression. If your vision and mindset - your inner knowing - is solid but your business still isn’t growing the way it should, this is the layer to look at next. I share openly about my own brand evo...
