Stacked & Steady

As much as you might love the ego boost of having everything look and feel polished, it’s not your highlight reel kind of content that stops people mid-scroll, floods your DMs, and draws in exactly the right clients. In this episode, we’re getting into: Why the most polished, aspirational content is often the least effective at actually converting. What your audience is genuinely craving from you right now, and why most people are too scared to give it to them. How to know when discomfort around a piece of content is a sign you absolutely should post it (and when it’s just not appropriate) A breakdown of a specific, highly engaged piece of content and why it worked Over the next week, I’m offering a handful of free strategy sessions for anyone who’d love to dial up their level of UNHINGED. In these one-off calls, I’ll be laying out some ideas you’ve been sleeping on to see more revenue coming in (yes, even at this time of year!) To request a spot, DM me “nailed it” on Instagram.

Welcome back to the Cheeseboard Countdown - the mini-series documenting exactly what’s going into taking three whole weeks off over the holidays, guilt-free and without a dip in sales. In this installment, we’re getting into: How to map out your Q4 calendar so your downtime is protected before anything else goes in Which seasonal sales events are worth your energy (and which ones aren’t) How to identify your end-of-year “signatures” Why stacking recurring revenue is the thing that makes guilt-free time off possible (and how to actually secure it) Right here in this episode, you have the blueprint to end this year with a bang. If you need some support actually making it happen, the Unhinged Mastermind is for you. When you secure your spot, you receive bonus access to my Q4 planning retreat where we map out the next 90 days of your business with intention, and you’ll also receive access to my Black Friday bootcamp, where I will lay out your seasonal sales campaign with you, think maximum cash flow, minimum…

When your business grows faster than your systems, something’s got to give… and usually it’s you! In this episode of Stacked & Steady, we’re digging into: How to audit the friction points in your business without spiraling into overwhelm. Why the systems that carried you through one season might be working against you in the next. The small, unsexy tweaks that can make a surprisingly fast difference - from how you structure your mornings to how you split your client days. How to identify what you’re still holding onto that you could (and should) be handing off. For more info on the Unhinged Mastermind, DM me “unhinged” on Instagram.

Welcome to the first episode of what I’m calling The Cheeseboard Countdown, a behind-the-scenes mini-series on exactly what I’m doing to stack my income so I can take 3 weeks off for the holidays completely guilt-free… without seeing a dip in cash flow or slowing my momentum. In this installment, we’re digging into: How to structure a high-ticket offer that doesn’t just “make sense” but actually feels like your favourite thing in the world to fulfil on How to shift the limiting beliefs that are keeping you stuck on the idea you’ve already written off How to give yourself a launch runway that actually sets you up for success For more info on the Unhinged Mastermind, DM me “unhinged” on Instagram.

Let's talk about the power of nostalgia as a healing modality.

Chasing novelty = expecting something shiny and new to be the thing that keeps you interested in your business Being an innovator = creating your own magic and being brave enough to evolve it over time When you lock in your unfair advantage, you stop seeking that spark outside of yourself, and THAT is when you turn your business from "present day dalliance" to "career that stands the test of time". You can't depend on other people's ideas to keep you engaged and entertained. You can only depend on YOU and what you are building. Speaking of which, it's time for you to go sign yourself up for THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE, the 30-day challenge running all of September. This is your next power move if you're the kind of person willing to get a bit feral in the pursuit of full-bodied fulfilment and the kind of money that keeps you in new books and big crystals guilt-free. This is where your chaotic creative energy becomes your biggest superpower (and not your most annoying time suck). Sign up here

Do you know what I love more than anything? A few guilt-free weeks off over the holidays with abundant cheeseboards, a stack of new books, and ZERO panic about taking time away from my business. And I know I'm not the only one. In this episode, I've outlined the micro moves that - if you do them on repeat from now until December 1st - will help YOU build the kind of momentum that has your business taking care of itself, so you can go do your thing, surrounded by fairy lights. Oh, and if you want to kick off the plan with a bang, come join us for The Unfair Advantage.

In this episode, get the tea on: How to structure a productive mastermind day with your own biz besties Some of the most important lessons and reminders from mine Your unfair advantage is the edge that makes you a whole lot less f/cking boring and a whole lot more of an easy yes to clients you would actually want to work with. But you are not going to find it on a market research call or in an infuriating back and forth with your AI "team". Where you *will* find it is inside THE UNFAIR ADVANTAGE 30-day challenge. This solid month of mentorship won't simply help you define and refine what you should be known for...

Welcome to the final installment of Your Witchy, Bitchy, Abundance Reset. (If you haven't caught the previous episodes in this series yet, go do that now!) Also: I've just opened up a handful of 1:1 spots. If you're feeling called to work with me in close proximity, DM me the star emoji, and we'll have a chat.

It's time for part 3 of the witchy, bitchy, abundance reset, and this week we're diving into the biggest mistake kneecapping your recurring revenue. Spoiler alert: it has NOTHING to do with how your offer is structured, how consistently you post, or whose launch framework you're dabbling with.

Welcome back to Your Witchy, Bitchy, Abundance Reset (the mini-series I'm doing here on the pod). In this episode, we're diving into: The one thing that actually gives you the freedom to play, experiment, and figure things out (spoiler alert: it's money) 3 low-lift ways to make more sales over the summer and beyond Tune back in next week for Part 3!

Welcome to a new mini series here on Stacked & Steady: Your witchy, bitchy abundance reset In this first installment, I'm breaking down what to prioritise first when you feel like you keep hitting a ceiling in your business. Enjoy!

What happens when you've put your all into building, branding, and promoting an offer and... you just feel done with it? In this episode, I'm sharing how to handle changing your mind even when you've been talking about the thing publicly. (Along with a real-time example)

This week, I'm baring my battle scars. I'm taking you behind the scenes of the one most extraordinarily unhelpful beliefs that kept my business small for way longer than necessary... As well as a couple of the most surprising things that helped me heal. I know a lot of you creative, weirdo, misfit types will relate to this one. If you're ready for your next stretch, come join us for Rise, Baby, Rise.

We have officially reached the midpoint of the year, and that can bring up a lot for people. I haven’t done everything I’d planned... I should have my shit together by now... I should be further ahead... In this episode, I'm sharing my favourite reframe to get you out of this mid-year slump (plus an exercise to get you moving again).

"Balance" implies you can spend equal amounts of time on your business and your personal life... which is entirely unrealistic. Our needs fluctuate and so does what it takes to attend to them. BUT that doesn't mean that you have to go through life feeling completely out of whack... In this episode, I'm breaking down why feeling steady is a worthier goal than work/life balance... and much easier to actually achieve. When you're feeling called to the Solid for the Summer minimind, here's the link.

There's this myth that people just "don't buy" over the summer... And I call bullshit. People still invest. People still show up for themselves. If you're noticing sales slow down, there are 5 reasons for that, all of which I'm breaking down in this episode. When you're ready to see sales every damn day (without needing to be "on" or sacrifice your fun summer plans), join the minimind here.

Your business is here to create the lifestyle you want to live, it's not here to consume every waking minute... In this week's episode, I'm sharing the little ritual I've been doing for almost 3 decades (!) - making a summer bucket list to GUARANTEE I have a great time. So grab a fresh notebook and your favourite coloured pens and let's get to it! Solid for the Summer is the 12-week minimind devoted to giving your the grounded and intentional moves that mean you get to go out and live your life without compromising cashflow, or the momentum you've started building...

When you're passionate, and creative, and have unpredictable energy, it's way too easy to dismiss yourself as an "all or nothing" person. But that is not an identity, it's a pattern of behaviour, and one that makes it near-on impossible to build a business that stands the test of time, and pays you well consistently. In this episode, I'm walking you through how to break free from this particularly unhelpful belief you have about yourself and set you up for steadier results.

There's no denying the rise in mean girl marketing, and honestly... in the year of 2026, we all should be doing better. If you can't sell yourself or your offers without preying on people's insecurities, talking down to your audience, or crapping all over someone else's body of work in the process... You have far more than a content problem. In this episode of STACKED & STEADY, I'm sharing the toxic messaging trait you need to cut out stat, and what to focus on instead. For more "how to get good results while also being a good person", you're welcome to join us in Unshakeable Business Academy.

There's a special kind of freedom that comes from making seemingly random sales outside of whatever you're posting about in your content... In this episode, I'm breaking down how you can start making more spontaneous sales the standard...
