When women come to me for ADHD or autism assessment, they often start with a disclaimer: “But I’ve always managed. I got through school. I keep the house running. I can do the things.” And they’re right. Most of the time, you can do the things. That’s not the point. The better question is: at […]

Podcasting can be a wild ride! I’ve run 3 of my own now. Each time it is a beautiful dance between imperfection and passion. And it’s not just about hitting record and hoping for the best. It’s about finding your voice in a world that often tells you to stay quiet. Nobody understands this better […]

If you have an online business, then you’ve likely had those moments on the kitchen floor, crying into a tub of ice cream, wondering why your course isn’t making the six-figure splash you expected.

Ever stared at a blank page, an empty screen, or a big idea that feels too overwhelming to start? I have had days and days as an author where I’ve taken a day off paid work to write and the words just don’t come. Or days where I’ve been filming for courses or ads and […]

I grew up in a house where there were lots of books, but not much in the category of spiritual, self-development or ‘woo’.  Somewhere along the line, a friend or work colleague must have loaned or gifted my mother a copy of Wayne Dyer’s 1989 book ‘you’ll see it when you believe it’. This must […]

Personally, the most memorable business lessons I’ve learned have come from women who have been open about the messy parts of their business. Failed launches, cash flow issues, investments that didn’t pay off, rejections from publishers.  This week I launched The Mess Behind the Success podcast. A place where therapists come together to normalise failure and […]
