Bossy Bitch

Never, have I ever, felt so damn inspired after speaking to a podcast guest. If this story doesn’t blow you out of the water, I’ll eat my microphone. Honestly, there is so much to this story and something for everyone, I don’t even know where to start. Parenting wins, acts of kindness and generosity and sheer focus and determination are just a small fraction of what makes up Leanne’s story. Leanne...

A lot of businesses are feeling the pinch right now and we wanted to jump on and give you easy, actionable and IMPACTFUL tips that you can execute right now to get your business moving.  Of course we could both talk under water so there's a lot of fun banter for your entertainment so enjoy, have a laug...

I’ve talked about unsupportive partners in business A LOT, and I’ve spoken about no partners or... dead partners! But I’ve never spoken about husband and wife partners in business. So, I’ll go there and revisit all my other fav things around this topic to whine about as well. Don’t worry whilst of course it wouldn’t be Bossy Bitch if I didn’t rant and rave a little there is actually a lot of beaut...

Stepping out of the shadows with ADHD parent coach Susan Hughes ADHD couldn’t be a more popular topic these days, particularly in the world of entrepreneurs, but this episode isn’t here for that. This is beautiful mish-mash of speaking to an incredible woman doing life changing things and flying far too under the radar for my liking. Her work is impactful, her drive is inspiring, and I light up li...

Where businesses go wrong with their client gifting with Bianca Carlino Oh man I have such an issue with businesses that fall short on their customer service so in this episode it’s safe to say I have the whinge of a lifetime. The thing is quite often it’s the bigger brands that miss the mark, the irony in that? So if you’re ready for a full scale ‘Elsa rant’ this is the episode for you. Like I al...

I hosted a life changing event this week. Yep, big call I know! But I did. I ran the Inspiring Women event live in Perth where 4 incredibly brave women shared some very deeply personal stories. We talked about chronic endometriosis suffering, childbirth trauma, grief and what it takes to go balls to the wall to build an outback fitness empire in Australia. For once we just got real and it was so p...

Building an outback fitness empire with Cindy Kempton This episode emulates literally every single thing this podcast is about. Shining light on a woman, who ever so humbly, quietly and modestly has built an impressive business from the same core values I personally feel fuelled by every single day. From the honourable qualities that come from growing up in rural Western Australia, to going toe to...

Reclaiming your identity after childbirth with Kate Vivian This is a biggie. I mean is there a woman alive who hasn’t felt changed in some way after childbirth? The loss or confusion over your own identity, the guilt, confusion and even depression around your new role in life. Don’t even get me started on that partner ‘resentment’. In this episode I chat with life coach for Mums; Kate Vivian as we...

My lessons totally worth knowing for 2023 Look I learnt some stuff in the last year, as did we all. Are my reflections really ‘that’ profound and worthy of sharing with the world? Maybe not. But look, it feels pretty self-righteous to say but I did have some significant wins and I feel like I’m allowed to say that because I have had many years of really… not winning at all. So, I get a free pass t...

Look, don’t snob this episode off because you ‘think’ you don’t need SEO or that it’s too hard. It’s not and I’m ready to resort to bullying if that's what it takes to get small business on board with learning, understanding and bloody well implementing SEO. Or as I like to call it, becoming friends with Google. As a business owner, I can assure you, there is no one you want in your corner more .....

Money mindset with the world’s most ‘not boring’ accountant - Diana Todd   Diana Todd is rapidly becoming a bit of a celebrity over here in Western Australia for so many reasons. I know, how does a tax accountant become a celebrity? Well you’ll have to listen to find out but it wont take you long. Firstly Diana shares her own personal story of moving across the world, enduring her own personal tra...

This is what turning 40 looks like   I know. It’s so hard to believe I’m 40 now. But I’m doing ok, don’t worry.  Actually 40 couldn’t come at a better time coming out of the worst 2 years of my life. 40 is a milestone for us all and I’m not special. But I wanted to share with you what it looks like for me and how I’ve chosen to mark the occasion.  I think there is comfort in hearing other people’s...

Not gonna lie, this is my first 3 way! Well in a podcast anyway and let me tell you... it was gooood! I use to loathe the word ‘collaboration’ and I still kinda do. But there are 2 things I know to be true and golden when it comes to growing a business. 1. The power is in the connections and relationships we make. So. Much. Power. With our clients, our peers in the industry and our teams. Solid re...

My biggest fan girl moment; talking SEO with Neil Patel. Having Neil Patel on my podcast is the equivalent of any woman on the planet having Beyonce show up to sing at their birthday party. And whilst I’m normally one for theatrics, in this instance I’m actually serious. The Wall Street Journal calls him on the most influential marketers on the web, Forbes says he is one of the top 10 marketers, a...

As I sat on the tractor going around in circles, sinking a few tinnies with my brother, we got to talking about the local community we grew up in. A very small town, like many other in rural and regional Australia, that’s survival is weighted on the participation of the community of which it resides in. Without community and community spirit these towns die. And that’s not an over dramatisation bu...

Ahead of the curve conquering teenage mindset with Claire Eaton There really is something in this episode for everyone. As a mother of twin girls entering teenage years, I was psyched to have this chat with Claire to delve into the world of teen mental health. As a woman in business, I was equally pumped to uncover how Claire made the pivot from school teacher to mindset coach for youth and parent...

Here for the big leaders of the world with Cha Higginson If you’re wondering what the AF is a shamanic healer then guess what, so was I. When I first met Cha Higginson she looked me dead in the eye and with a steady and quiet confidence she declared “I’m here to work with the big leaders and change makers, because that’s where I have the power to make the biggest impact in the world.” Now if anyon...

The best advice my mum ever gave me   Lately I’ve been trying something new in my business and it’s been working out kinda well for me.  But my mum never intended this advice to be a business strategy, it was just something most small girls hear off their mum at some point in life I’m quite sure.  Well in my generation anyway.   Turns out at almost 40 years of...

I woke up one Saturday morning to a series of ‘mayday’ texts from my friend and all round power house in business - Jess Wilson. “HELP! I’ve been trolled on line”. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Jess was bordering on hysteria (but then I am one for theatrics). By the end of that very same day, Jess was celebrating the massive win that came from those nasty Goog...

Now this episode starts with 5 minutes of outright silliness. I could’ve edited it out but the blunders were too funny, so I left them. Because that’s who I am. I don’t do ‘perfect’. It’s always about the laughs. So whilst we muck around and have some great laughs in this episode, hang with me to the end because I promise amongst the storytelling we do get to so...

I have one of those businesses where my parents don’t really understand what it is I do. In fact, a lot of people don’t really get it. Even business owners don’t always get it, or why they might need one. And if I’m being really honest I never really wanted to be a business coach per say, yet here I am. I’m not sure anyone has ever used so much profanity in the proces...

Untangling the web of divorce: with divorce Coach Alice McDonald Well since I’m currently in the middle of getting divorced, it seemed only natural to get myself some advice from a divorce coach on my podcast. Right? But don’t go getting too excited. Whilst it’s tempting to use this platform to air some dirty laundry and give you all the juicy goss, this episode isn’t all t...

At the risk of sounding like a creep, I've stalked Cat Skriener for a few years now. In the beginning it was just online stalking like a normal person but when she moved across Australia to my home town of Perth, this stalkers dreams were realised. I wanted to share Cat's story for a few reasons. Firstly, like me, she recently underwent the most dramatic career change of a lifetime and pulled it o...

It’s taken a long time for me to pluck up the courage for this episode.  You know that saying, don’t compare yourself in your losing season so someone in their winning season? Well, I’m coming out of one hell of a losing season and I wanted to share it because who knows…. It might make someone else feel ok about their situation.  I’ve always struggled with...

She’s somewhat of a celebrity in outback Australia, and not just because of her unique and highly sort after millinery skills. Felicity Brown has a smile and energy that would light up the darkest of rooms. A poster child for what happens when you say “yes” to life. No matter the obstacles. It’s a big introduction but when you listen to this episode I guarantee your heart w...
