Re-release: Understanding your customer's Money Archetypes May 19, 2026

Show notes

Let’s shift focus. Today we’re not talking about your money personality, but your customers.

It’s time to look at the type of customers you are and should be attracting and how this might affect your business.

Once you understand more about your customer’s Money Archetypes you can create more impactful marketing and more valuable support and products.

Why do you need to know this?

Well, marketing is all about motivation and sales is understanding who your customers are and what drives them. When you try to market to everyone, you won’t get great results and it’s hard to stand out when there’s a lot of noise.

So the more you understand your customers and talk their language, the more effective your marketing message will be.

These insights are so valuable to help you achieve more sales, and get better at serving and helping your audience.

Stop copying and start trusting yourself May 14, 2026

Show notes

Let’s talk about something a little uncomfortable - but incredibly common.

Copying other people.

Not intentionally. Not maliciously.

Just… unconsciously doing things the way your mentors, peers, or industry say you should.

In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking where copycatting shows up most often - and how to gently break free from it without shame or embarrassment.

Stop following business rules that don’t work for you May 07, 2026

Show notes

Today’s episode of Chill & Prosper is about something we’ve all experienced at some point.

Bad business advice.

Or at least… advice that didn’t work for us.

Because here’s the truth: there isn’t really such a thing as universally bad advice. What works brilliantly for one person might be completely wrong for someone else.

Your personality, your energy, your lifestyle and your season of life all matter.

In this episode I share some of the strange and funny business ideas I tried early on (including an ebook for men about internet dating and a program called Raw Brides 😅).

Finding the right support at the right time Apr 30, 2026

Show notes

Today I’m talking about masterminds, support, and community - what they actually are, when they’re useful, and when they’re not.

Stop overthinking your business decisions Apr 23, 2026

Show notes

One of the hardest parts of running your own business?

The decisions. So many decisions.

When you work for yourself, the buck stops with you. There’s no boss to ask, no one else to blame, and sometimes it feels like every decision lands on your desk.

No wonder so many entrepreneurs get stuck in analysis paralysis.

And this month we’ve been talking a lot about money sabotage, because second-guessing yourself and overthinking every step is one of the most common ways we hold ourselves back.

We tell ourselves we’re being careful, or strategic, or responsible… but sometimes we’re really just avoiding the discomfort of choosing.

In this week’s episode of Chill & Prosper, I’m sharing how I approach decision-making in my business - including ways to reduce decision fatigue, avoid overthinking, and trust yourself a little more.

How to take time off without everything falling apart Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

One of the biggest reasons people start a business is freedom - and yet so many of us feel less free than ever.

Guilty about resting.
Scared to step away.
Convinced everything will fall apart if we’re not there.

And here’s something that might be uncomfortable to hear: when we refuse to take time off, avoid delegating, or feel like everything depends on us, it can actually become a form of self-sabotage. Because if your business only works when you’re constantly present, it will eventually cap your energy, your growth, and your income.

In this week’s Chill & Prosper episode, I’m talking about how to take time off from your business without losing money, momentum, or your mind.

How we sabotage ourselves - and how to stop Apr 09, 2026

Show notes

Let’s talk about money sabotage.

Not in a harsh, “what’s wrong with you?” way - but in a compassionate, this actually makes sense way.

In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking the sneaky ways we sabotage ourselves in business and money - often without even realising we’re doing it.

Menopause, money & changing seasons Apr 02, 2026

Show notes

Today’s episode is a little different, but so important.

I’m talking about money, business, perimenopause, menopause - and what happens when your body, energy, confidence, and capacity start to change.

This isn’t a medical episode. It’s a real life one.

Getting back on the mindset bandwagon Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

All month we’ve been talking about money mindset habits and creating supportive routines to attract more and grow your business.

But, if you’ve fallen off the wagon with your money habits… don’t worry, welcome to being human.

This happens to everyone - especially around this time of year, when January motivation has worn off and life has well and truly kicked in.

So in this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m talking about how to gently get back on track with your money and mindset without shame, guilt, or needing a dramatic fresh start.

Monthly habits that build wealth over time Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

We’re continuing with our monthly theme of money habits and today I’m sharing some of my monthly habits with money.

I know this might disappoint you a little - but most success doesn’t come from one big moment, one viral post, or one lucky break.

It comes from small, consistent habits that quietly compound over time.

In this week’s podcast episode I’m talking about monthly money habits - the ones that don’t require perfection, motivation, or hustle, but make a massive difference long-term.
