047 - Part 3/3: Signature Framework Series - Becoming Her Before It Happens. A Morning Routine You Want Actually Want To Wake Up To
Last Tuesday at 1:00 AM


This is Part 3 of my Signature Series and it’s the piece that ties everything together.

In Part 1, we spoke about your calendar.
In Part 2, your fitness and health.
And in this episode, we go into the most important layer… you.

Your results are built from your identity, your habits, and the way you start your day.

This episode breaks down how to create a morning routine you actually crave to wake up to and one that focused your energy, sharpens your thinking, and your actions with...


046 - Part 2/3: Signature Framework Series. Where Your Edge Is Built
04/23/2026


Part 2 of my Signature Framework Series, and today we’re stepping into the standard required when it comes to your body, energy, and how you operate as a woman in business.

It’s about performance. The way you train, fuel your body, and take care of your health directly impacts your focus, decision-making, and the way you show up in your business and life.

Your energy is felt before you even speak. It’s in your presence, your content, your conversations, and it either draws people in or pushes them away.

In this e...


045 - Part 1/3: Signature Framework Series. The System Behind Your Standard
04/22/2026


Welcome back to the podcast.

This is Part 1 of 3 for a mini series where I’m taking you inside my signature framework, the same framework I use with my private 1:1 clients.

While this framework can be expanded and tailored in so many ways depending on the woman I’m working with, what I’m sharing with you here is the foundation and the root of it all.

This is about creating structure in your life and business in a way that removes the constant mental load. The brain fog. The feelin...


044 - The New Ways You Can Work With Me
04/20/2026

There comes a point in business where doing more isn’t the answer anymore.

You’re already capable. You’re already busy. You’ve built something.
 But behind the scenes… it feels heavier than it should.

Your calendar is full, but not intentional.
 Your energy is inconsistent.
 And your days feel reactive instead of structured.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the real shift that needs to happen if you want to move into your next level, and why your business will only ever grow to the level you can hold.


She Let Go of a Six-Figure Business to Become Who She Is Now with Alyssa Ward
04/14/2026


This episode is a powerful, honest conversation that goes far deeper than business.

I sat down with Alyssa Ward to unpack her story and everything that shaped the woman she’s become.

We talk about the unexpected loss of her dad in a truck accident, and how that moment shifted everything. The decisions she had to make. The identity she had to let go of. And what it really looked like to walk away from a six-figure business in order to move forward.

This isn’t a polished “success story.”
It’s...


043 -The Energy Shift That Starts in Your Wardrobe
04/12/2026

How you dress is how you show up.

I break down why getting dressed with intention can completely shift your energy, confidence, and productivity especially as a woman balancing business, motherhood, and everything in between.

We cover identity shifts, changing bodies, wardrobe staples, and simple systems to make your mornings easier.

This is about leading yourself first, and it starts in the morning intentionally dressing for the day

042 - The Story Behind the Woman I Am Today (Stay till the end)
04/09/2026

I share what im business at the end and it all makes sense when you listen right through from the start. This is a great episode for anyone new here, or for those who have been following along and want a deeper understanding of what I’m creating and why.

I’m taking you behind the scenes of my journey and how each season has shaped the woman I’ve become.

From my early years in sport, through to competing at an elite level in rowing, stepping into the world of personal training, navigating the challe...


041 - Takeaways From Seeing Mel Robbins Live — The ‘Let Them’ Tour
03/25/2026

In this episode, I’m sharing what really landed for me after seeing Mel Robbins live and so much of this will relate to you as well. 

I open up about being in a transition phase, 35, coming out of five years of working from home while raising kids and that feeling of being in-between… where you know something is changing, but you’re not quite there yet.

We talk about:

Let Them and Let Me and what this actually means  The “in-between” season and why feeling stuck is often a sign of what’s next  Asking yo...


040 - How the Personal Training Industry Has Evolved Since I Started Back In 2014
03/12/2026


In this episode, I reflect on how much the personal training world has changed since I first started in the industry back in 2014. Recently I began training with a PT again, and it brought back so many memories of those early days,  the environment, the trends, the mindset around fitness, and how the industry operated at the time.

It also made me realise just how much the industry has evolved. From the rise of social media and online coaching, to shifts in training styles, client expectations, and the way personal trainers now build their b...


039 - Going With the Flow as a Mum in Business
03/08/2026


In this episode I talk about something that helps me so more productive and I know will help you to working with the natural rhythms of life as a woman, a mum and a business owner, rather than constantly fighting against them.

First, I talk about working with your menstrual cycle and how much this can influence energy, creativity and productivity. If you want to dive deeper into this, I reference episodes 13 and 16, where I share more about how I approach this in my life and work.

Next...


038 - Learning the Stages of Kids -We’re All Learning As We Go.
03/05/2026

I share some reflections on parenting and the learning curve that comes with raising young kids especially when they’re your first and you don’t always know what’s “normal” or what’s coming next.

Ive always found myself paying more attention to families with kids slightly older than ours and taking mental notes on the stages and what theyre doing. 

It’s a reminder that parenting is a constant learning process, and sometimes the best insight comes from simply observing what other families are navigating.

I also talk about how capable kids really are...

02/25/2026

036 - How To Become The Next Level Version Of You Before She Arrives
02/21/2026


This year has stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

With Jackson starting school and stepping into a new role selling and designing new homes, our routines have shifted. There’s been friction. Highs and lows. Moments of gratitude and moments of “what am I doing?”

In this episode, I share what this season is teaching me  about grounding myself daily, about finding gratitude in the chaos, and about what so many driven mums in business are actually missing.

Through this transition, I’ve uncovered a gap I feel deeply call...


035 - So Small, So Big. My First Born Has Started School. Emotions Are In Full Swing
02/19/2026

Off the cuff episode. Jackson and Nickson are so close in age, yet this season has shown me just how differently time can feel for each of them.

One has started school, stepping into independence, new routines, and a whole new world. And I didn’t expect how emotional that transition would be. There’s something about watching your child walk into their next chapter that stretches your heart in ways you can’t prepare for.

But surprisingly, leaving preschool felt even more harder.

Nick is still so small… yet somehow so big at the s...


034 -The New Contract Role I’ve Taken On for 2026 (And Why It Makes Sense Long-Term)
01/25/2026

I’m sharing a update on what life has looked like lately, including stepping into a brand-new homes consultant sales role and how that opportunity came onto my radar.

I talk through the bigger picture behind this decision, referencing my long-term vision and goals (including what I shared back in Episode 27), and why having a clear vision, both individually and with your partner, is so important when making big life and career moves.

I take you behind the scenes of what this new role actually involves, the flexibility and contract structure, how my first week we...


033 - 2026 The Year You Level-Up + The Plan No One Wants to Follow
01/15/2026


Welcome back to another episode.

This season, I’m getting radically focused on just two things: scaling my income and business + getting hot AF, lean, strong, and in the best shape of my life.

With my firstborn starting school, life has officially shifted. I now have one child in and one out, which has forced a new level of structure, boundaries, and intentionality with my time. I’m balancing a growing online business alongside selling new homes, and the only way to do both well is to narr...

031 - This Will Inspire You To Start Joint Holiday Accounts
12/07/2025

I’m opening up a little more over the next few months with some fun, “get to know me” episodes and today’s one is such a good place to start.

In this episode, I’m sharing the story behind the three joint accounts I’m part of with friends and family, and how they’ve helped us create fun holidays, weekends away, and the little adventures that make life feel richer.

These accounts have paid for so many fun experiences over the years, and I think they’ll inspire you to look at your own relationship...


030 - The FULL story How I Dropped 7kg This Year (Without Burnout or Restriction)
12/05/2025

This episode is a deep dive into the exact steps that helped me drop 7kg this year most of it since September, without obsession, restriction, or burnout. I share the honest habits and health routines that helped me finally feel strong, energised, and in control again.

I talk through the three pillars that made the biggest difference for me:
 ✔ Consistent movement — Pilates for strength + mobility, weights for muscle tone and metabolism, and the StairMaster for that low-impact, high-burn cardio.
✔ Clean, intentional nutrition — not dieting, just fuelling my body with what it t...


029 - Trust In The Timing Of Opportunities
11/24/2025

As we step toward 2026, I want to invite you into a powerful reflection: What opportunities have you said “no” to this year… and what did that open the door for?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the three months where I sat in a long, uncomfortable pause, questioning timing, questioning alignment, and wondering if I was missing something. And then, as it so often does, the perfect opportunity landed right in front of me. 

This episode is a conversation about trusting that the “wait” is part of the plan and that the righ...


028 - The Identity Shift I Didn’t See Coming
11/16/2025

In today’s episode, I’m unpacking a season of life that felt… strange. Not bad. Not overwhelming. Just this weird in-between where everything was shifting, expanding, and taking shape faster than I could make sense of.

I started a brand-new business right in the peak of my marathon training.
 A week later, we began full pool renovations.
 There were people in and out of the house constantly.

All good things. All things I’m deeply grateful for.
But this season pulled me out of rhythm, and in the process, it showed...


027 - Reading Out My Vision Statement And How To Create Your Own
08/18/2025

When you set a big vision, you choose not to live on autopilot and you’re designing how you want life to look and feel.

Small, unclear goals won’t excite you, but bold ones spark commitment and inspire action. Boring won’t get you out of bed, but exciting will.

Brainstorm these following areas and create a vision statement for you. The vision statement should get you excited to create what you want and work daily on your goals. It needs to be big because small goals wont get you going on hard days.

P...


027 - New Mentoring Brand
08/18/2025

A New Chapter Begins

This episode marks the start of something I’ve felt pulled toward for over 2 years, the launch of my very own mentoring brand.

Mentoring and coaching aren’t new to me (I’ve been doing that through my Arbonne business, which I absolutely love and isn’t going anywhere), but building my own personal brand? That’s the new chapter. And it’s time.

I’ve opened this space up because I know I have so much to give beyond the network marketing world. My heart is to help women...


026 - Real Life Example Of How Your SubConscious Is Controlling Your Life
07/13/2025

This is a real life example from my own experiences of how we can work 'so hard' and 'do all the things' but never feel accomplished or feeling like we are always chasing the next goal. Feeling like we are never good enough.

I shared how I worked through some blocks and realised until I sorted these, I would never grow or feel happy

There are prob so many things we all have that block us from growing into the next level self and its about consistently working on ourselves to break through these blocks.<...


025 - The Power Of A 90 Day Focus Block
07/09/2025

In this episode, I talk about  the mindset and momentum behind a focused block of 90-days.

I shared my background in competitive rowing and how that lead me into prepping for a 12-week body competition, then onto building a business and currently doing a 12 week training block for a 32km off trail run. 

If you’re looking for a bit more focus,  structure or drive, and a clear vision for what’s next, this is a good one to listen to

03/09/2025

Sometimes, the biggest breakthroughs come from stepping back before moving forward. 

In this episode, I’m sharing a real and raw look at a block I was facing—how avoiding doing something simple like slowing down, made me realize I was stuck in overthinking instead of taking action.

I’ll walk you through how I cleared the noise—muting distractions, decluttering my space, deep journaling, meditation, and even a subconscious reprogramming session that had me in tears. What came up wasn’t what I expected, and it hit hard.
