  • Claiming Our Rightful Place as Women in Business

    Claiming Our Rightful Place as Women in Business
    Mar 5 2025

    International Womens Day is coming up this week so it feels timely to explore this topic of Claiming Our Rightful Place as Women in Business and what we can do to step fully and confidently into our authority. We talk about the superpowers we uniquely have as women in business what might hinder our ability to take our rightful place and leave you with some profound words of wisdom from a much loved English treasure.


    Apologies for the slightly less than perfect audio quality in the first couple of minutes of the intro, we've sorted it for the main part of the episode so hopefully it won't deter anyone from listening on, and we really hope you enjoy the conversation.

  • Why Owning your Creative Identity is a Business Imperative...and How To Do It

    Why Owning your Creative Identity is a Business Imperative...and How To Do It
    Feb 12 2025
    Creativity is the lifeblood of both of our businesses and we have both experienced the game changing impact for ourselves and our clients when we really feel the strong sense of identity as a creative in our bones. When you can really own your creativity and it is woven through the fabric of your life and work it is transformative and not just for the jobbing artists amongst us. For every business owner serious about having the edge and working in a joyful and empowering way, creativity is a skill to hone and a way of being that we both feel should take centre stage. In this episode we walk through how to embed a strong sense of creative identity and how it shapes our thinking, our relationships and the innovation possible with our businesses. Enjoy!

    The Myth of Passive Income - What does it really take to make a Fast Buck?
    Feb 5 2025

    These days you can barely move for someone promising you a '7 figure income' while you sleep. But is it really the panacea it promises to be? Passive income is something so many ambitious entrepreneurs are chasing, but what does it really take? We are about to get deep, opinionated and personal in this episode where we explore Fi's passive income success story that paid the mortgage. How the pursuit of passive income shifts your experience of what it's like to run your business, the unseen effort that goes into 'passive' streams and more.

    We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do please like subscribe and share - thank you.
