I recorded this podcast soon after delivering a webinar through a program I contribute to as a coach, a digital guide supporting micro & small business owners with their digital solution needs. There is of course more magic being in a session in real time and being able to ask specific questions which is what took place… however, I wanted to at least share these tips & some examples with y...

Changing the name of the podcast from ‘Business to Your Own Beat’ to ‘A Life by Design’ was not a decision I made lightly, but it was a quick transition after months of the idea whispering in me in ear & eventually slapping my across the head! Living a life by design focuses on setting an objective and fostering systems and conditions to support thriving. ‘Business to Your Own Beat’ held that...

If you want the freedom to do the work you love as your source of income & build a business that supports the life your desire to live. And would like some insights into how to find that balance of creating content consistently, not dropping off for a month or two at a time, instead keeping up the creation of content across the platforms that you know your target audience are hanging out in… e...

There were times over my lifetime when I felt more alone in the presence of others. I hope this episode inspires you to let go of the guilt around wishing to pursue your desire to live a life of purpose & passion, you will not only be happier, you will also be healthier and desire less to escape your existence. Which is why I wanted to kick off 2025 with stories to hopefully help you feel less...

A life by design focuses on devotion to a purpose, a life mission, and while it takes some discipline to realise the full potential of our mission, devotion is a different driving force. The next time you wonder if how you are choosing to spend your days is acceptable by mainstream standards, look at what is produced by those who step outside the box and live an evocative life and ask yourself if...

As a coach, I have heard every excuse under the sun as to why people are not able to reach their goals. Stick with me here, and I’ll tell you what I’ve learned as a coach and business owner. And as a self employed single mum, living in a rural location, I understand all the reasons, it’s not that I’m not compassionate. But I also understand what is behind everyone of those reasons.. which is FEAR...

As a society we’ve become more aware about the food we eat, the environments we live in, light sources etc… and yet I think we’ve not been as proactive in understanding the impact of how we drape our human vehicle, the structure that radiates our internal essence as our external expression and also absorbs frequency’s and chemicals that impact our internal system. But I believe there is even more...

In this episode I want to invite you to think about why you are doing what you are doing, and the way that you are doing it…and then ask yourself if the people you are concerned about thinking you are crazy because of what you are doing and how, are they coming from a place of awareness of what is that is driving your mission & vision? The greatest impact we can have on others is to lead by ex...

Doing business to your own beat is about crafting a lifestyle that enables you to use your unique skills and gifts to contribute to the collective. If you are feeling like you are caught up surviving and not truly feeling like the lifestyle you are living is supportive to your thriving, then it may be worthwhile taking a step back, expanding your view of what the reality of your lifestyle looks li...

Episode Description: After hearing another creative openly share that she did not wish to have children and the impact she felt it would have on her creativity, especially as a professional. I want to share my experience of motherhood as a professional creative to give those who may be sitting on the fence about whether or not embark on the journey of motherhood, a perspective on the impact of thi...

There are two barriers I hear clients express most often when it comes to realising their business goals… time & cost. Because I hear so frequently that time is a barrier for so many, I have been reflecting on what it is that has enabled me to do as much as I have, with all that I have committed to and often sustained for many years. My recent contemplation made to the realise, that what it co...

What does working smarter not harder actually look like in reality? How do you go from striving with all your might to thriving effortlessly? In my experience, when living my values, basing my business offerings on those values I seem to open up a portal to receive without even ‘trying’. You can be given all the systems & strategies that have proven to work for others but if it doesn’t align w...

How can we ever really know whether or not we made the RIGHT decision? And is there actually such thing as a WRONG decision? Hindsight is fabulous, it helps us reflect on what we learn post decision and experience, but does it actually lead us to believing we should have made a different decision in the first place? At the time of making a decision we do so based on experiences of the past, desire...

Stories have always been the strongest way to get a message across, share important information and learnings… why else would we have the expression ‘the moral of the story is…’ What’s the moral of your life story, what themes have you been presented with continually to overcome and work through? What’s the story behind your business, what inspired you to start? Why do you do what you do? When you...

Have you noticed that when you’re wearing something that you feel good in, it is easier to move through your day more effortlessly? Are you aware of the frequency of the fabric you cloak your body in? And the reason this has an impact? [Em]Power dressing is not about how others will perceive you, but about how you yourself feel, in the outfits you are wearing. _____________ Online Store SHOP HERE...

Life is one long journey of discovering how to best operate our human vehicle unlike the mechanical vehicle we purchase this does not come with a manual with all the do’s & don’ts and troubleshooting recommendations… or does it! Our genetic make up is the foundation of our structure, but how we treat it, what we do to maintain or destroy it is what determines our outcomes. Our modern day lifes...

What I share in this episode is quite vulnerable and some may think it’d be best left unsaid, that keeping these experiences like this to ourselves is more beneficial in the healing process. But since I am working very closely with guidance from my intuition & inner knowing, taking instruction from my higher self awareness you could say, I felt called to share my journey & process not for...

Embodiment starts with awareness of self, knowing what enlivens you, what dampens your spirit, what empowers you and what triggers you to feel inadequate, defensive, unworthy… not to avoid those encounters but understand what is behind your response and where you can place energy & attention to transmute those shadow patterns. As well as, awareness of what makes you feel like you’re held &...

When we dig deeper into what it is that holds us back from fully expressing ourselves, not just in the way of singing, but speaking our truth, sharing our perspective, disagreeing without trying to be controversial, but just because we’re seeing things from another point of view, or perhaps we fear to speak because we can’t quite formulate the so called ‘right words’ or our choice of words accordi...

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of being invited to attend a 'Creatives’ Recharge Retreat’ which was put on by Southern Tablelands Arts an organisation that supports, creates, educates and advocates for the arts in our region. This weekend retreat was the finale event of their ‘Peer 2 Peer Mentoring Program’. The magic that took place over that weekend is not easy describe in words, it...

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are there so many good things coming your way all at once or challenges being presented like an avalanche… some times we experience both ends of the spectrum at once. Either way the feeling of overwhelm is disorienting and can leave us feeling like our life is spinning out of control, that we’re ungrounded, untethered even. A practice I’ve found very helpful in this re...

A client asked me recently for my Top 5 Tips… which I will share in this episode developed after investing a lot of money myself in taking intensive long term courses in business & entrepreneurship… combined with the learning through my lived experience of over 25+ years of ‘Doing Business to My Own Beat’, through all the trials & errors, tweaking & trying again.
