Becoming a Business BadAss

Episode 165 - You’re Not Owed Results

This week’s episode is a bold and honest conversation about entitlement and how it might be quietly holding you back in your business.
I’m diving into the subtle ways this shows up through thoughts like ‘I should be further along’ or ‘I don’t want to do that’ - and why those patterns are far more powerful than you realise.
We explore how these thoughts create a cycle that keeps you stuck, even when you’re taking action, and why expecting results without the required effort will always limit your growth.
I also share real examples from my own experience and coaching conversations, alongside a practical exercise to help you identify where your expectations and actions don’t currently match.
This episode isn’t about judgment - it’s about awareness, ownership, and stepping back into your power.
If you’re ready to stop waiting for things to change and start creating results on purpose, this one will give you the shift you need.

Episode 164 - What Your Q1 Is Really Telling You

In this episode, I’m not giving you a polite Q1 reflection. I’m giving you the truth.
Because if your results didn’t look how you wanted in the first three months of the year, it’s not because you need a better strategy. It’s because you’ve been drifting.
And drift is subtle. It looks like being busy, staying in your business, doing ‘something’… but avoiding the things that actually create results.
We’re diving into the real difference between drift and self-leadership, and why leading yourself based on how you feel will always create inconsistent results.
I walk you through the tiny, everyday moments where you stop leading and start negotiating with yourself, and how those moments are shaping your identity and your outcomes.
No fluff, no sugar coating, just a clear look at what’s actually been going on and what needs to change if you want Q2 to look different.
Because you’re not missing information.
You’re missing a decision.

Episode 163 - Your Thoughts are Killing Your Sales

This episode is going to hold up a mirror.
Right now, inside Making Money With Your Thoughts, I’m seeing the same pattern again and again. Women thinking their problem is strategy, pricing or the market, when actually it’s their thinking.
In this episode, I’m not walking you through the full coaching process. I’m showing you the thoughts that are really driving your results. The ones that feel normal, logical and true, but are quietly shaping how you show up, how you sell and what you create.
We break this down into two key areas - what you believe about yourself, and what you believe about your clients. Because both of these are influencing every action you take in your business.
If you’ve ever thought ‘people aren’t buying’ or ‘it’s just not working for me’, this episode will challenge that in a powerful way.

Episode 162 - The Emotional Cost of Growth

In this episode, I’m talking about something that almost nobody teaches - the emotional side of building a successful business.
Because the truth is, most women don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do. They struggle because building a business requires you to tolerate certain emotional experiences that your brain would rather avoid.
In this episode, I break down the four types of intolerance I see constantly holding brilliant women back - Risk Intolerance, Discomfort Intolerance, Uncertainty Intolerance, and Success Intolerance.
We explore the idea of the emotional cost of growth, why your nervous system often tries to keep you playing small, and how expanding your capacity for success is actually the real work of entrepreneurship.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things but still not seeing the results you want, this episode might help you see your business through a completely new lens.
And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Episode 161 - Why BadAsses Lead Themselves First

In this episode, I’m continuing the conversation around identity in business.
Last time we talked about the difference between Practitioner identity and Business Owner identity. Today we add the next layer - Leader identity.
And before you think leadership only applies to people with teams, let me stop you there. Leadership starts with how you lead yourself.
If you’re building a business that is shaped by your voice, your expertise, your standards and your perspective, you are already leading. The question is whether you’re doing it intentionally.
In this episode, I talk about the connection between self-leadership and revenue, and why the way you handle discomfort, obstacles and uncertainty directly impacts the results you create.
I also walk through some of the biggest leadership leaks I see in business owners - the subtle ways we lose authority without realising it.
If you want more clients, more impact and more revenue, this conversation might challenge you a little.
But it will also show you where leadership really begins.

Episode 160 - BadAss Boardroom Takeover - Rowena Wilding

It's another takeover, People!!
This week, we have Rowena Wilding taking the guest-host seat in Becoming a Business BadAss, and she does not come to whisper!!
Rowena is a marketing strategist extraordinaire, and in this bold, straight-talking episode, she leaves nothing on the table. 
She unpacks the belief system that makes marketing feel powerful instead of painful. No hacks. No ‘post three times a day’ nonsense; just the real foundation - the three beliefs that underpin everything you do in your marketing.
Rowena calls out the wobble that keeps brilliant women invisible and reframes selling to make it easy. She dives into messaging that actually lands, visibility that builds trust, pricing based on transformation, not time, and why staying quiet is the most expensive mistake you can make.
You’ll leave with four sharp, practical actions you can implement immediately.
No bull. Plenty of fire. And marketing that feels like you.

Episode 159 - How Badasses Create Radical ROI

In this episode, I’m talking about something almost nobody teaches, and yet it impacts every investment you make in your business and your life. 
Return on investment is often treated like an automatic side effect of purchasing something, but it isn’t. Swiping your card gives you access, not outcomes.
I share why two women can sit in the exact same room with the same coach, the same content, and the same support, and still leave with completely different results. 
The difference isn’t intelligence, experience, or even effort.
It’s identity and mindset. 
Containers don’t magically change you. They amplify who you already are when you walk in. 
If you enter as a consumer, you consume. If you enter as an investor, you extract value. 
This episode is about shifting from waiting to be changed to deciding you will create the return yourself. 
When you realise ROI is a skill you can learn, you stop fearing investments and start leading yourself inside them. 
That shift changes everything.

Episode 158 - The Business You Want, The Way That You Want It

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately - balance. 
Or more accurately, intentional and dynamic balance. 
For years I’ve said ‘work life balance is bollocks,’ and while I still believe the phrase is misleading, I’ve realised there’s something much more powerful underneath it; balanced energy. 
I share how I’ve been navigating a huge start to the year, moments of overwhelm, and the realisation that balance isn’t a timetable or a finish line - it’s a state you can return to at any moment.
I talk about why hustle culture isn’t the badge of honour we think it is, why success without a life you enjoy isn’t success at all, and how adding the word ‘and’ into your results changes everything. 
This episode is about creating the business you want, the way that you want it, and learning how to grow with parameters instead of burning out on the way.

Episode 157 - Happy Valentine’s Day, BadAss!

This week’s episode is a Valentine’s special, but not the fluffy, chocolate-and-roses version. I’m talking about Business BadAss love – the kind that actually changes you and the way you lead yourself.
I walk you through seven powerful ways to love yourself and your business that have nothing to do with aesthetics and everything to do with identity, standards and self-leadership. 
We cover telling yourself the truth instead of soothing yourself, falling back in love with your business after the honeymoon phase, and understanding how your relationship with money mirrors your relationship with yourself.
We also explore loving your Future Self more than your current comfort, building self-trust instead of chasing confidence, and the importance of running your business like a real business rather than a hobby. 
Finally, we look at what being genuinely in love with your life actually requires on a daily basis.
This episode is a wake-up call wrapped in heart-shaped paper 😘

Episode 156 - Overcome Procrastination For Good!

In this week’s episode of Becoming a Business BadAss, I’m diving into something that affects every single goal you’ll ever set - resistance.
That invisible force that shows up the moment you decide you want more.
More money. More confidence. More growth. More of you.
I break down why resistance isn’t a mindset failure, a motivation issue, or a discipline flaw. It’s your primitive brain doing exactly what it was designed to do - avoid pain, seek pleasure, and conserve energy.
The problem is, that part of your brain is not qualified to run your business or your life.
So in this episode, I walk you through how I work with resistance instead of fighting it. We talk about allowing the pull, following plans made by your evolved brain, minimum standards, and why learning to honour your word to yourself changes everything.
If you’ve been procrastinating, starting again, or feeling stuck in the same patterns, this episode will give you practical tools to start showing up differently.
This is identity work.
And it’s where real results are built.
