Welcome back to Fireside. Today’s episode is a blog post omnibus, where I share the blog posts that I’ve published the previous month. In this episode, I cover three blog posts written in January and February, talking about some behind-the-scenes from my rebrand, embodying more than what is portrayed online, and the relief of not having to be a leader in my online space.

Identifying Unhelpful Patterns In Your Work

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m beginning to share what it’s like to work within my Finish With Confidence programme, and in these episodes I’ll take a deeper dive into some of the things asked by the last cohort, and, of course, my responses. Today we’re covering those unhelpful patterns and cycles you begin to notice within yourself that hold you up, or hold

How To Find Your Secret Sauce (Or Not)

Feb 15 2024 22 mins

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today I’m going to be talking about something that has stirred a lot of thinking in me: secret sauce. What I mean by this is the ‘thing’ that makes us successful online, and particularly on that app we can’t help but love-hate: Instagram.

The Big Overwhelming New Thing

Feb 08 2024 21 mins

Hello and welcome back to Fireside. Today is a topic prompts very much a ‘been there, know that’ feeling for me, because if there’s one thing I’ve always done, it start big, new, overwhelming things.

Intentions, Goals & Word of the Year 2024

Jan 01 2024 10 mins

If 2023 was concluding the last chapter of my life, then 2024 is the turning over into the next one. Almost every aspect of my life is completely different now than it was a year ago, and at this point I have no idea what’s going to happen with all these new plot points and locations nor where the story is going to go. But then, as I was writing that sentence, I remembered: I’m

2023 Review: The "Rock Bottom" Year

Dec 26 2023 9 mins

Every year since I started my business, I’ve written a review of the year, and ever since having a podcast, I’ve recorded it too, so you can listen along if you prefer to. This year is no different. In years gone by, I’ve quipped about how short the year was, how it seems barely possible it is already over. But not this year. This has been the longest year. And I think it has
