It's a People Thing

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...

If your business feels stalled, the answer probably isn't a new strategy, a better funnel, or more content. It's likely something far more foundational, and that's exactly where this series begins. This is Part 1 of the seven-layer Natural Order of Things framework, and we're starting with Inner Knowing: your vision, your mindset, and your intuition. This is the layer beneath everything else. And...

Grab a pen. This one's a keeper. If you've been working hard, doing ALL the things - showing up on social media, refining your messaging, tweaking your website, maybe even running ads, and the growth still isn't coming, this episode is for you. The problem usually isn't a lack of effort. It's that most business advice treats growth like a flat problem, as though everything is equally important and...

Have you ever looked at your website or your content and not quite recognised the person it’s talking about? The one who apparently runs your business? If so, this episode of the ReWild Your Business podcast is for you. I’m getting into something that I think is incredibly common: the drift. The slow, incremental process by which a business that started as a real expression of who you are graduall...

There's work you do that's useful. And then there's work you do that's potent - where a small amount of what you give produces a disproportionately large shift for the person on the receiving end of it. They're not always the same thing. And the potent work is often the thing you've been quietly underselling, tucking inside a bigger offer, or treating as the bit that happens before the real work b...

Those two little words - what if - can stop us in our tracks. What if I've left it too late? What if I do all the work and it still never happens for me? In this episode, I'm digging into the what-ifs that seem to show up more insistently as we move into midlife and beyond, and why they're not actually messages from your soul, they're your brain's attempt to keep you safely exactly where you are....

Tune into the replay of the LIVE here on Substack today with me and Deb D | The Intuitive HERoine This is Part Two of our Legacy and Leadership Series… In part one , we talked about why NOW is the time for THIS conversation with women - catch the part one replay HERE . In this replay of part two we’re talking about permission… why we feel we need it, why we withhold it, and what it feels like to g...

If you've ever rolled your eyes at the idea of journalling, this one's for you. I used to be exactly the same, I resisted it for years, couldn't get into it, didn't really see the point. Until I made it work for me, and now I genuinely can't live without it. In this episode I'm unpacking why so many of us resist journalling, what it actually is when you strip away the pretty notebooks and the Pint...

I’m fresh back from the Grand Union Canal, and a few days on a barge with family. It was one of those beautifully simple trips. Board games, tiny boat-oven pizzas, no screens (at least for the adults!), just a lot of laughing. And somewhere in the middle of steering through a pitch-black, 40-minute-long canal tunnel (whilst getting drenched by freezing water because I, naturally, decided I didn’t...

I’ve been in a seriously creative season lately. Writing, thinking, meditating, doing all the things that for me are the work, and also, if I’m honest, feeling a bit guilty about it. The newsletter that slipped. The freebie that’s been sitting waiting for an email sequence I haven’t got round to writing. You know how it goes. And then my sister-in-law asked me one simple question that stopped me i...

This one's been gnawing at me for a while. I believe we're living through one of the most significant shifts in history for women, and against the backdrop of everything happening in the world right now, I'm convinced that women are the ones who are going to shape what comes next. But to do that, we have to stop apologising for who we are and what we're being called to do. We have to stop building...

If you know something in your life or business has run its course but for some reason you can't quite explain, you're still showing up to it like nothing's changed... this one's for you. I'm talking about the in-between: that uncomfortable space where you're no longer who you were, but not yet fully who you're becoming. And what happens when you keep pouring your energy into what you're leaving in...

So, we just wrapped up part one of our Legacy & Leadership series - a conversation that will span the next four months via posts, notes, podcasts, and 4 livestreams where Deb D | The Intuitive HERoine and I will come together like we did this afternoon to talk about how we see legacy and what it means for us and the women in our respective worlds. Deb and I share a vision of the world where women,...

Fresh off the 200 episode milestone and I'm still glowing from all your gorgeous messages - thank you, you wonderful humans! This week I'm talking about something that is genuinely close to my heart: collaboration. I don't mean the surface-level let's-swap-email-lists kind that gets bandied about online. I mean the kind that expands who you both are and what you're capable of doing. What I Cover i...

Two hundred episodes… WTF! I genuinely wasn’t sure when I hit record on episode one whether there would be a second. And here we are. This isn’t a ‘best of’ clip show or a trip down memory lane for its own sake. I’m sharing the twenty things I know now that I wish I’d known at the beginning, about podcasting, about business, about showing up consistently when it feels pointless, and about what it...

Big news this week, the ReWild Your Business podcast has a new home. I've moved it over to Substack, and in this episode I'm sharing exactly why, what I've changed my mind about, and how I'm planning to use Substack as my central media hub going forward. If you've been curious about Substack, whether it's worth exploring, whether the SEO issues are still a thing, whether it's actually just for wri...

In this raw and honest episode, I'm sharing why I've been quieter than usual lately and what's really been happening behind the scenes. I've been going through a profound identity evolution over the past year - one that felt too big, too spiritual, too mystical to share while I was in the middle of it. If you've ever felt caught between who you're becoming and what you think you "should" be doing...

If you've ever felt like you're drowning in systems, strategies, and 47-step funnels while the actual work you love takes a backseat, this one's for you... The online business world has sold us a version of entrepreneurship that's unnecessarily complicated. The complex funnels, intricate launch sequences, social media strategies that require a degree in digital marketing, business models you can't...
