Imagine this: It’s a Tuesday, your brain feels like a browser with 38 tabs open, and somehow you’re expected to be everything to everyone—business owner, partner, friend, maybe a parent too—while still making time to drink enough water and act like you’ve got it all together. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and getting real with you about something that’s been coming up A LOT lately—in my own life, with my clients, and in conversations with so many women: the myth of “doing it all.”

Because truthfully? Trying to be everywhere, for everyone, all the time… it’s not just exhausting—it’s unsustainable. And it’s time we stop celebrating it.

I’m diving into what “balance” really looks like when you’re running a business, living a full life, and trying not to lose yourself in the middle of it all. We’re talking boundaries, burnout, energy, and the powerful shift that happens when you give yourself full permission to do less, but with so much more intention.

So whether you’re out on a walk, folding laundry, or just taking a moment for yourself, this one’s for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

[03:10] | The Myth of Balance

• My journey chasing the elusive idea of “balance” and how it nearly led me to burnout.

• What I’ve learned to do instead that works a whole lot better.

[06:42] - Real Talk on Boundaries

• How to stop feeling guilty for saying “no” and start honoring our own needs.

• How I set (and stick to) boundaries, and why it’s a radical act of self-respect.

[10:25] - When Hustle Culture Backfires

• Why hustle culture is a trap.

• The pressure we all feel to “do it all” and why I’m done with that mindset.

[13:53] - The Power of Doing Less

• How I’ve simplified my business (and my life) in a way that still makes a major impact, but without all the chaos and overwhelm.

[17:38] - Parenting + Business: Can They Coexist?

• Lessons learned as a mom and entrepreneur.

• Highs and lows of trying to balance raising kids with running a business.

[20:50] - Listener Q&A

• “What if people get mad when I set boundaries?”

• My honest thoughts on standing firm in your boundaries, even when it feels uncomfortable.

It’s officially April, which means I am just weeks away from tackling one of the biggest challenges on my bucket list: the London Marathon. And let me tell you, this journey has been everything—grueling, exhilarating, humbling, and absolutely packed with lessons that apply far beyond running.

So, here’s the deal. I used to be a PE teacher, which means I love a good sports metaphor (get ready for plenty!). But more than that, training for this marathon has made me reflect on something huge: how eerily similar the road to running 26.2 miles is to building a business. The setbacks, the unexpected challenges, the absolute need to invest in yourself—it all translates. And trust me, some of these insights will hit you right between the eyes.

In this episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on what marathon training has really taught me about success. From pushing through freezing winter runs (hello, English weather!) to investing in the right support (yes, I spent £180 on trainers and no, I do not regret it), this journey has been a masterclass in resilience, commitment, and trusting the process. And guess what? The same principles apply to you and your business.

Whether you’re launching something new, scaling up, or just trying to figure out your next move—this episode is for you.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

[01:30 - 03:15] | Sports Metaphors & Life Lessons

• Former PE teacher, loves sports analogies.

• Sports and business have so much in common.

• Some lessons will be obvious, others surprising.

[03:15 - 05:00] | Training Struggles & Self-Discovery

• Winter training has been rough—cold weather, injuries, setbacks.

• But these challenges have revealed a lot about resilience.

• Pushing through struggles is part of the process.

[05:00 - 06:45] | The Activator Mindset

• Identifying as an "activator"—helping others take action.

• Realising the importance of activating myself first.

• Consumption vs. absorption of knowledge—are we really taking in what we learn?

[06:45 - 08:30] | Parallels Between Marathon Training & Business

• Success isn’t just about showing up on race day—it’s about preparation.

• Business is the same: strategy, execution, and persistence matter.

• Biggest personal & financial investments in 2025—business coach + marathon.

[08:30 - 10:15] | Investing in the Right Support

• Spent £180 on proper running shoes—ouch, but worth it!

• Cheap shortcuts can lead to setbacks (injuries in running, failure in business).

• The right investments make success sustainable.

[10:15 - 11:45] | Embracing the Process

• Growth feels uncomfortable, but it won’t always feel new.

• What once seemed overwhelming becomes second nature.

• Enjoy the journey, even the hard parts.
