#211 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 1: Inner Knowing 18.05.2026

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...

#210 - How To Know What To Fix First If Your Soul-Led Business Has Stalled 11.05.2026

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...

#209 - Do You Even Recognise The Person Described On Your About Page? 04.05.2026

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...

#208 - What Is Your Most Potent Work? And How Can You Do More Of It? 27.04.2026

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...

#207 - What If It Never Happens For Me? 20.04.2026

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....

Legacy & Leadership - Part Two 14.04.2026

#206 - The Page as a Portal - How Journalling Can Unlock the Wisdom Your Business Actually Needs 13.04.2026

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...

#205 - What is Distraction REALLY Costing Us? 06.04.2026

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...

#204 - A Simple Question That Unlocked A Breakthrough For Me 31.03.2026

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...

#203 - The Most Radical Business Decision You Can Make Right Now 25.03.2026

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...

#202 - The In-Between - How To Stop Feeding What Your Leaving 16.03.2026

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...

Legacy and Leadership - Part One 10.03.2026

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,...

#201 - Who's in Your Corner? 09.03.2026

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...

#200 - 20 Lessons Learned From Recording 200 Episodes of the ReWild Your Business podcast 02.03.2026

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...

#199 - The One About Substack 23.02.2026

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...

#198 - What Happens When Your Soul Outgrows Your Strategy 16.02.2026

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...

#197 - The Business Gurus Sold You Complexity So You'd Keep Buying Solutions - Here's What You Actually Need 09.02.2026

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...

#196 - Why Coaching Matters More Than Ever In The Age Of AI 02.02.2026

There's panic in the coaching industry. Will AI replace us? Are we all about to become obsolete? Here's the reframe: AI hasn't made coaching obsolete. It's made it absolutely essential. The Truth About AI AI is extraordinary. You can get a complete business strategy in 30 seconds, a marketing plan, step-by-step frameworks for anything.

#195 - The Dark Side of Vulnerability Marketing 26.01.2026

This week I'm calling out something I'm seeing everywhere right now in the online business world, and honestly, it's feeling like an epidemic. Coaches are hearing they should differentiate themselves by being vulnerable, so they're sharing their struggles, their breakdowns, their trauma in real time. And look, it works at first - engagement goes through the roof, people respond, you feel seen. But...

#194 - Your Future Clients Need You To OWN Your Expertise 19.01.2026

Your modesty isn't making you more likeable - it's making you invisible to the people who desperately need what you offer... While you're busy staying humble and worrying about looking like a dick, someone out there who needs you, can't find you. Or they find you but don't believe you can help them because you're playing small. What This Episode Covers We're tackling imposter syndrome, the resista...

#193 - How I Finally Got Comfortable Calling Myself 'Creative' And Why It Matters 12.01.2026

For most of my life, I genuinely believed I wasn't creative. Like, hand on heart, I would tell anyone willing to listen that I didn't have a creative bone in my body. And I really believed it. Why? Because to me, creativity meant one thing: being able to draw or paint. And since I can't do that (trust me, this isn't false modesty – I literally cannot draw to save my life), I wrote myself off compl...

#192 - The Things You'll Never Hear Me Apologise For In Business 05.01.2026

In the first episode of 2026, I'm sharing five deliberate choices I refuse to apologise for in my business. These include not being present on all social media platforms, my pricing, saying no to unaligned opportunities, not always being relatable, and working long hours. Yep an eclectic little bunch of insights this week - let's start this year as we mean to go on and get clear on what we're not...

#190 - Why We Choose Safety Over Possibility, And How To Flip The Script 22.12.2025

In this episode of Rewild Your Business, I'm talking about the importance of mindset as we hurtle towards 2026. While it's the external factors often seem like barriers to our success, it's actually the internal mindset that plays the biggest role. With a focus on choosing courage over comfort, we're looking at the common negative thoughts that hold us back, the importance of acting despite fear,...
