Sarah shares a very real moment from a holiday where she realised she wasn’t actually switching off, she was just working from a prettier location.

And that’s when reality hit:

If your business only feels safe when you’re watching it, you haven’t built safety into your business — you’ve built full-time supervision.

For women building businesses alongside motherhood, that kind of constant vigilance is exhausting. And it quietly steals the freedom you started your business for in the first place.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why your business still relying on you isn’t a commitment problem, it’s a structure problem

✔ The difference between running a business vs owning a job that depends on you

✔ The three trust transfers every growing business needs

✔ Why your team escalates everything to you

✔ The simple dashboards and visibility systems that stop you hovering over your business

The hidden trap of responsibility

Most business owners stay deeply involved because payroll, reputation, and clients depend on it.

But without the right structure, that responsibility becomes tethering.

You become the safety net for everything:

1. Client complaints
2. Staff conflicts
3. Roster problems
4. Refund approvals
5. Difficult decisions

That’s not freedom, that’s something else requiring your constant vigilance.

The three trust transfers every business needs

Sarah explains the three critical trust transfers that move you from operator to business owner.

1️⃣ Client Trust

Clients need to trust the brand and experience, not just the business owner.

That trust should live in:

1. Clear standards
2. Consistent communication
3. Repeatable delivery
4. Reliable systems

If a five-star review only happens when you personally deliver the service, the trust hasn’t transferred yet.

2️⃣ Team Trust

Your team doesn’t need constant supervision.

They need clarity.

That includes:

1. Clear KPIs
2. Defined standards
3. Clear reporting lines
4. Weekly review rhythms
5. Escalation paths

Without these, your team escalates everything to you because you’re the only reliable system.

3️⃣ Operational Trust

You shouldn’t have to be physically present to know what’s happening in your business.

But you do need visibility.

That means simple dashboards showing:

1. Sales and revenue
2. Cash flow
3. Payroll forecasting
4. Key performance metrics

When you can see what matters, you stop feeling like you need to hover.

The real test of your business

If you disappeared for two weeks, who handles the complaints, the refunds, the roster gaps, and the staff tension?

If the answer is mostly you, it’s not a business freedom problem.

It’s a structure gap.

And the good news?

Structure gaps are fixable.

Who this episode is for

This episode is for you if:

1. You struggle to switch off from your business
2. Clients always ask for you
3. Your team escalates decisions to you
4. Holidays still involve checking emails
5. Your business feels fragile without you there

In other words:

If your business depends on you being present to function.

Because a lot of women in business hit this confusing stage where sales are coming in, clients are paying, and on paper the numbers look healthy…

But the bank balance still feels stressful.

Payroll is due, tax is coming up and the rent’s around the corner.

And you open your banking app thinking:

How can my business be making money and still feel this tight financially?

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, Sarah breaks down one of the biggest cash flow problems small business owners face:

You’re not broke. Your money is just stuck somewhere inside your business.

Because the issue usually isn’t revenue.

It’s how money moves through your business.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why profitable businesses can still feel cash-poor

✔ The sneaky places money gets trapped inside growing businesses

✔ Why “just get more clients” is terrible advice for fixing cash flow

✔ How unpaid invoices quietly choke your business finances

✔ The hidden cost of overcommitted spending and stock

✔ A simple 14-day reset that can free up thousands in your business

Key Discussion Points

When revenue looks good but cash still feels tight

You can be turning over $20k, $80k, even $200k+ per month and still feel financially squeezed.

That doesn’t mean you’re bad at this, It means you’re running a real, growing business with wages, rent, tax, suppliers and compliance costs.

And those businesses trap money in places most people never think about.

Where your business cash flow gets stuck

Money commonly gets trapped in places like:

• Invoices sent but not yet paid

• Work delivered but not invoiced yet

• Team diary gaps where wages are paid but revenue isn’t generated

• Stock sitting on shelves not moving

• Packages sold but not yet used

• Slow-paying clients

• Minimum supplier orders locking up thousands

Individually these don’t look dramatic.

But together they quietly squeeze your small business cash flow.

Why “more sales” isn’t the solution

One of the most common pieces of business advice is:

“Just get more clients.”

“Just grow revenue.”

But if your systems aren’t tight, more sales can actually make cash flow problems worse.

Growth without financial control just amplifies stress.

The three biggest cash-flow blockages

Sarah sees money getting stuck in three main places:

1. Uninvoiced work

If the work is done but the invoice hasn’t been sent, the cash doesn’t exist yet.

2. Uncollected payments

Late payments mean you’re financing your client’s business.

3. Over-committed spending

Subscriptions, software, stock, leases and team perks quietly creep up.

The 14-day reset that frees up cash

You don’t need to rebuild your entire finance system, you just need to loosen one pipeline.

Try one of these:

✔ Move from monthly invoicing to weekly invoicing

✔ Set up a consistent debtor follow-up rhythm

✔ Reduce stock orders by 15–30% and order more often

✔ Switch packages to pre-payment or pay-as-you-go

Small changes like these can free up $5k, $10k, even $20k quickly.

And when your cash flow improves, your nervous system does too.

If every refund, rebooking, roster tweak, client issue, and “Can I just check…” still lands on your desk, this episode is your reset.

Because you’re not overwhelmed by growth.

You’re overwhelmed by tiny decisions.

And when everything flows through you, your team doesn’t grow and your business can’t breathe without you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the simple 3-line decision framework that stops micromanaging without losing control and builds a team that actually thinks.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

1. Why micromanaging isn’t about control, it’s about blurry ownership
2. The real reason your team keeps escalating small decisions
3. How to stop being the bottleneck in your business
4. The 3 decision lines: Handle, Escalate, Inform
5. A 30-minute reset exercise to reclaim your time and mental space
6. How to build leadership layers so your business doesn’t depend on you

The Real Problem: Decision Overload

When every small decision floats upward to you:

1. Your brain never switches off
2. Your team never builds decision confidence
3. You stay stuck in reactive mode

It’s not that your team is lazy.

It’s that no one defined the lines.

And without clear lines, everything defaults to you.

The 3-Line Decision Framework

This isn’t about building 500 SOPs.

It’s about clarity.

1️⃣ HANDLE

They decide. They act. No permission needed.

Refunds under a set limit. Routine rebooks. Stock inside budget.

If the information sits with them, they handle it.

2️⃣ ESCALATE

They bring 3 options + a recommendation.

Not “What should I do?”

But “Here’s what I think we could do.”

This shifts thinking from you to them.

3️⃣ INFORM

They decide. They act. They update you in rhythm.

No panic texts at 10pm.

No holiday interruptions.

You stay in the loop without carrying the weight.

The 30-Minute Reset

If you want to stop micromanaging fast:

1. Write down the 10 interruptions from last week.
2. Assign the role (not the person) who should own each.
3. Label them: Handle, Escalate, or Inform.
4. Set boundaries where needed (money, risk, time).

That’s it. No corporate complexity just clean ownership.

This Episode Is For You If:

1. You feel like the glue holding everything together
2. You’re constantly interrupted by “quick questions”
3. You’re exhausted from making tiny decisions all day
4. You want to grow without working harder
5. You want a business that runs without micromanaging

You didn’t build your business to be the fastest answerer in the building.

You built it for freedom, profit and presence.

And that only happens when your team knows exactly which decisions are theirs.

But about choosing less?

In this episode of The Moxie Movement, I’m sitting down with Erika Clarkson — Melbourne artist, mum of two, and Done By Three Club member. Who went from breastfeeding with 47 business ideas and zero focus… to earning $1,500 before 2pm drawing on shop windows.

And still making school pick up.

This is the real story of what happens when you stop glorifying hustle, start asking what you actually want, and build a business that fits your life.

Not “overnight success.”

Just consistent action, brave decisions, and a whole lot of belief shifts.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why having “too many ideas” is actually fear in disguise

✔ The lie about success that keeps women stuck

✔ How scheduling her time changed Erika’s income and her nervous system

✔ The mindset shift that helped her stop undervaluing her work

✔ Why consistent action beats big bursts of motivation

✔ How she went from reactive chaos to calm, aligned growth

✔ What it really looks like to earn well and still be present at school pick up

The Belief Shift

After being knocked back for a big job, Erika found herself crying and questioning everything. Not because she wasn’t capable but because her entire sense of success was tied to someone else saying yes.

That had to change.

For years she believed success was for “other people.”

Not for someone sensitive.

Or with ADHD tendencies.

Or with a brain that moves fast.

Sound familiar?

She had to drop the belief that success wasn’t for her and replace it with one simple truth:

You have to believe you can do it before you’ll take the steps.

The system that changed everything.

Scheduling.

Not a colour-coded Pinterest fantasy.

Actual time ownership.

Instead of walking into her office asking “What should I do today?”

She decided in advance.

She schedules:

1. Sales
2. Life admin
3. Date night
4. Self-care Friday
5. School pickup space

And she deleted her to-do list.

That shift alone moved her from reactive to proactive, from overwhelmed to aligned.

The money shift.

Erika stopped:

1. Overdelivering for free
2. Taking whatever paid
3. Hoarding money in the business account “for safety”

And started:

1. Valuing her time
2. Charging for the extra mile
3. Paying herself properly

Now?

She’s had $1,500 days finishing at 2pm.

Drawing koalas in Christmas hats on shop windows.

(Yes, the police once stopped her to check she was “sanctioned.” 😂)

The biggest truth in here?

You can have it all.

You just can’t do it all at once.

And you don’t need to sacrifice being a mum to make serious money.

Erika earned well last year and still made 80–90% of school pickups.

That’s what alignment looks like.

Because task hoarding in small business doesn’t look dramatic.

It looks like:

Doing payroll from a hospital bed.

Working when you’re sick because “no one else can do it properly.”

Redoing your team’s work at 10pm.

Micromanaging because it feels safer.

This isn’t about being bad at leadership.

This is about identity, control, and learning how to delegate without losing control.

And for female entrepreneurs — especially mums running businesses — this pattern is incredibly common.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why delegation anxiety in small business isn’t a character flaw

✔ The identity shift from “doer” to CEO leadership

✔ How to delegate in your small business without micromanaging

✔ The 80% rule of delegation (and why it unlocks momentum)

✔ How to choose low-risk tasks to delegate first

✔ Why business growth without burnout requires backup

The Real Cost of Not Delegating

When you stop delegating because it feels uncomfortable, you create:

1. A business that only works when you’re working
2. Constant mental load
3. No backup during school holidays or sickness
4. Burnout disguised as “high standards”

Being indispensable feels powerful.

Until you realise it means you can’t step away.

If your nervous system goes into fight-or-flight every time life happens, that’s not a systems problem.

That’s a delegation problem.

The 80% Rule of Delegation

Here’s the shift:

Delegation isn’t about someone doing it your way.

It’s about someone doing it well enough so you don’t have to.

80% done by someone else is more powerful than 100% done by you.

Because leadership in small business isn’t execution anymore, it’s direction.

If you want to scale your business without burnout, you must move from task hoarder to leader.

Where to Start Delegating (Without Panicking)

If you’re wondering how to delegate in your business without blowing it up:

Start with low-risk tasks.

Admin.

Accounts.

Repetitive prep work.

Follow-ups.

If the business won’t collapse if it’s done imperfectly, it’s safe to hand over.

And instead of micromanaging steps, define outcomes:

“What does done look like?”

Clarity reduces anxiety for you and for them.

You’re trying to finish work, cook dinner, manage homework, regulate everyone’s emotions… and somehow be present too.

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does it feel like I’m failing at everything between school pickup and bedtime?” this episode is for you.

You’re not bad at being present, your business just isn’t designed to let you leave.

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, I’m giving you what I call The School Run Strategy a simple and powerful way to contain your business so it stops bleeding into family time and draining your energy dry.

This isn’t about working less because you’re “not ambitious”.

It’s about designing a business that works with your real life not against it.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why split attention is the real reason you feel guilty everywhere
2. What “Done By Three” actually means (and what it doesn’t)
3. How to create a hard stop that protects your energy and your evenings
4. Why decision-making after 3pm is costing you more than you think
5. The 4 non-negotiable rules that stop work spilling into parenting time
6. How buffers (not better time management) change everything

We also cover:

1. Why trying to do two full-time roles at once is exhausting you
2. How role separation leads to better business decisions and calmer evenings
3. Why “no new starts after 2pm” will instantly reduce mental load
4. How to start small without burning out or rebelling against your own rules

Your next step:

Pick one day this week and try a true hard stop.

Clock out. Shut it down. Leave the business where it belongs.

And if you want to go deeper into building a business that’s designed to be Done By Three this is exactly what we build inside my world.

So why does it feel like you can’t breathe?

If you’ve got a business that looks successful from the outside paying you well, serving clients, ticking the “should be grateful” boxes but you can’t switch off, can’t step away, and can’t imagine a holiday without your laptop… this one is for you.

In this episode, I’m unpacking what I call the golden handcuffs. When your business pays you just enough to keep you trapped, but not enough to buy back your time, energy, or thinking space.

This isn’t a personal failing, it’s a structure problem.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why successful businesses can feel heavier instead of easier

✔ How capable women accidentally build businesses that rely on them for everything

✔ The 3 signs your business is leaning on you too hard

✔ Why making more money won’t fix your exhaustion

✔ The difference between being a paid doer vs a true business owner

✔ A simple audit to spot where you’re handcuffed to your business

We get into:

1. The “well-paid job” trap that keeps you permanently on
2. Why being the main sales generator keeps you stuck
3. How becoming the default problem solver drains your brain
4. What happens when your role doesn’t evolve as your business grows
5. Why structure creates relief not revenue alone
6. How to start redesigning your business without burning it down

If you’ve ever thought:

“I should be grateful… so why am I this tired?”

Then your business just needs a different architecture.

Back to business.

Back to carrying everything… again?

If you’re a mum running a business, this season probably feels familiar.

Uniforms. Stationery chaos. Permission slips. Lunchboxes you hope were emptied last term.

And that quiet belief whispering in your head: “Once this settles down… then I’ll focus on my business.”

But it never settles down.

In this episode, Sarah is calling time on the “I’ll start when life calms down” trap and walking you through how to actually build a business that works inside school terms, school holidays, sick kids, and the mental load you’re already carrying.

No fantasy schedules. No perfect weeks.

Just real systems that hold you even when life is messy.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why waiting for the “right time” is quietly killing your momentum

✔ How to do business before your bandwidth disappears

✔ The power of fewer priorities and tighter execution

✔ How to decide what actually matters in your business (and what you can stop doing)

✔ Why your business model must be designed around school terms

✔ How to plan term one without burning yourself out in week one

We dive into:

1. The myth that school holidays = a break for mum business owners
2. Why perfect weeks don’t exist (and never have)
3. Doing less, but doing it better in life and business
4. Critical success factors vs busywork that doesn’t move the needle
5. How to choose one or two six-week projects instead of trying to do everything
6. What not to plan during back-to-school weeks (hint: big decisions)
7. Practical back-to-school systems that reduce your load year after year

This episode is for you if:

1. You feel excited for the kids to be back at school… and exhausted at the same time
2. You keep telling yourself “next week I’ll focus on my business”
3. You’re tired of carrying the mental load at home and at work
4. You want your business to fit around mum life not fight against it
5. You’re done with fantasy schedules and ready for something sustainable

Your next steps (don’t skip this):

👉 Subscribe or follow The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss future episodes

👉 Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and submit your question for an upcoming podcast

Because your business doesn’t need more of your time or energy.

It needs a system that actually works for the life you’re living.

Stay moxie.

Ever feel like everyone else has kicked into full work mode…while you’re still juggling kids, snacks, uniforms, camps, activities, and a half-working brain?

That tight chest a sprinkle of low-grade panic. That rather annoying thought loop of “I should be further ahead by now.”

This episode is your permission slip to stop beating yourself up.

Because that “behind” feeling?

It’s not a sign you are failing or lazy and I promise it’s not a personal flaw.

It’s a split-season of capacity and once you see it clearly, everything changes.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why feeling behind is a feeling, not a fact

How shame sneaks in when we compare mismatched seasons

What “split attention season” actually means for mums in business

Why focus follows capacity (not the other way around)

How to use January for preparation, not pressure

What phased momentum looks like for real-life business owners

Simple ways to calm the comparison spiral and reclaim your energy

What we cover in this episode

Why January is not the starting line we think it is

The emotional sabotage of comparing yourself to people with totally different realities

How to plan now so execution feels lighter (and faster) later

Using low-brain tasks and idea parking to protect your future self

Choosing calm instead of letting the internet dictate your pace

Setting a clear restart date so you can stop feeling “in limbo”

Your reminder (because it matters):

You are not late. There is no race. And there is no universal start line.

You’re not behind; you're in a split season of capacity. And once you plan for that, everything feels lighter.

You don’t need to push harder. You need a plan that matches your season.

Stay moxie. 💛

She’s checking her bank balance. Doing the mental maths. And she’s not stressed because things are “quiet”… she’s stressed because nothing was decided earlier.

Welcome to your loving-but-direct reminder that business results are lag metrics.

What feels hard in 90 days from now didn’t start in March. It started with what you did (or didn’t do) right now.

And no, this isn’t about hustling harder during school holidays.

It’s about doing enough so future you doesn’t panic.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why cash flow stress is almost never a surprise (even when it feels like one)
2. How inaction now creates the “March money wobble” so many mums experience
3. What minimum viable visibility actually looks like during busy seasons
4. How to stay seen without being chained to your laptop or phone
5. The one thing you should be watching weekly to protect future cash flow

We talk about:

1. Why business, parenting, health, and relationships all work on lag metrics
2. The seasonal patterns that trip women up every single year (hello March/April)
3. Why blaming the economy later is easier than making small decisions now
4. Simple, realistic ways to keep sales ticking over while you rest
5. How to decide once now… so you don’t have to panic later

This is not about doing more. It’s about doing something.

A phone call.

A follow-up.

One post a week.

One visibility channel.

One decision that future you will be grateful for.

Future you is watching.

And she’s begging you to pay attention now.

If you’re being told this is the year to reinvent yourself while you’re still dusting sand out of the sheets, refereeing screen-time negotiations, and acting as unpaid Uber driver…

This episode is for you.

January is not supposed to be a stick to beat yourself with. For us it’s supposed to be a time to gently reenter, not reinvent.

I’m calling BS on the New Year, New You pressure, especially for mums running businesses in the middle of school holidays, Christmas fallout, and real life.

Because January is not the time to demand miracles. It’s a re-entry season, not a reinvention season.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why January is actually the worst time to expect peak performance
2. The difference between reinvention and re-entry (and why it matters)
3. The 3 counterintuitive “Moxie rules” for surviving January without sabotaging the rest of your year
4. How to protect your income without burning yourself out
5. What future you will be grateful you handled now

What we dive into

1. Holiday brain fog (yes, it’s real)
2. Why “starting strong” is unnecessary and unhelpful for mums
3. Lowering the bar on purpose and why that’s smart business
4. Choosing ONE revenue-protecting task instead of doing all the things
5. How to gently reconnect with your business without losing momentum
6. Protecting February, March, and beyond with small, low-energy decisions now

My 3 Moxie Rules for January:

✔ Lower the bar intentionally for stability over acceleration

✔ Protect future you small actions now = less stress later

No massive goals or unrealistic expectations.

And please, no pretending this is a holiday for you when it’s clearly not.

Just permission to do less, stay connected, and enjoy the summer with your kids without blowing up the rest of your year.

If you’ve been patching and praying your way through motherhood, business, relationships, and responsibility, this episode is your permission slip to stop.

In this episode, we’re officially killing the cellotape era and bringing out the scissors. ✂️

Because no woman has ever built a profitable, present business by taping shit together and hoping it doesn’t fall apart.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1. Why “just fixing it quickly” is keeping you stuck and exhausted
2. How cellotape shows up as over-responsibility, people-pleasing, and misaligned yeses
3. The difference between static vs signal and how to cut the noise
4. Why being the default domestic operations manager is killing your capacity
5. How to redistribute the second shift (at home and at work)
6. Simple ways to reframe the stories you’re repeating about yourself
7. How to start cutting back without burning everything down at once

What we talk about:

1. Why patching problems feels productive… but actually creates more work
2. The hidden cost of being “good at fixing everything”
3. Out-there noise (media, opinions, doom scrolling) and why it has to go
4. Home noise and the uncomfortable truth about “supportive” partners
5. Teaching kids to carry their load (yes, even if they do it badly at first)
6. Delegation at work without stealing other people’s jobs
7. Rewriting the internal stories that keep you small and exhausted
8. Why capacity changes with seasons, and that’s not a failure
9. How one small cut a day can completely change your life and business

You cannot outwork this level of noise.

You have to decide what matters and cut everything else.

And if you want help figuring out what stays and what goes, that’s exactly what we do inside a Moxie Breakthrough Session. Sometimes it only takes 10–15 minutes to get brutal clarity and feel that massive exhale.

Stay moxie. 💥

Ever sat down to work… finally… and your brain feels like it has 67 tabs open? Three of them are screaming for an update, one is definitely playing random music. And another is showing a meme you definitely didn’t search for.

Yeah. This episode is for you.

In Episode 88 of The Moxie Movement Podcast, I’m looking at exactly why you feel overwhelmed, scattered, exhausted, and stuck. Spoiler alert: it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong.

It’s because you’re drowning in noise.

In this episode, we map it. Name it. And start turning it down.

Inside the episode, you’ll learn:

✔ Why your overwhelm isn’t a you problem it’s a bandwidth problem

✔ The three types of noise draining your energy every single day

✔ How unpaid mental load + unmade decisions are silently killing your momentum

✔ Why willpower, discipline, and motivation disappear when decision fatigue takes over

✔ How the world’s noise becomes your beliefs… and then your results

✔ A simple but powerful mapping exercise to clear your head fast

✔ How to separate signal vs static so you stop reacting and start leading again

🔊 The 3 types of noise stealing your focus

1️⃣ Outside noise

The economy. The media. Social feeds. “Manifest harder” advice. Other people’s opinions about your “cute little business.” It’s the group chat you never asked to be in… and can’t mute.

2️⃣ Home noise

The invisible load. The domestic circus radio. Uniforms. Lunches. Calendars. Holidays. Dogs. Santa. Laundry staring at you like a fourth child. This soundtrack never turns off.

3️⃣ Internal noise

The inner critic. The overthinker. The “you should be further ahead” loop. It’s your accountant, the PTA, and inner critic forming a girl band and living rent-free in your head.

When all three run at once? No wonder your brain battery is flat before you even start work.

Luckily:

You don’t need more motivation or to find better discipline. And you definitely don’t need a 4am routine with ice baths and mushroom tea.

You need to close some damn tabs.

This episode walks you through a practical, doable exercise to get everything out of your head, onto paper, and start deleting what doesn’t belong without guilt or burning your life down.

Because clarity isn’t created by doing more. It’s created by removing what doesn’t align.

Your next step (don’t skip this part)

Grab a piece of paper and do the exercise while the support is still in your ears.

If this episode hits home (it will):

👉 Subscribe to The Moxie Movement Podcast so you don’t miss what’s coming next

👉 Follow us on Instagram & Facebook come hang out with us in the real world

👉 Submit your question for an upcoming podcast episode (yes, I answer the real stuff)

Because the world doesn’t need you playing small, overwhelmed, or buried under static.

It needs you to be clear, powerful, rested, and leading.

Stay Moxie.

In this episode, we’re going beyond the noise, the clutter, the chaos, the open loops, the endless notifications, the decisions you keep circling but never quite making. This isn’t about doing more. This is about doing LESS noise… and more you.

Because:

✨ You already dreamed it. You already planned it. You already KNOW what’s possible for your life and business.

But somewhere between Secret Santa emails, shark-obsessed children, 34,729 screenshots, and a junk drawer that could be classified as a small ecosystem…you lost your clarity and your frequency.

And you tuned in to everyone else’s station except your own.

Today, we fixed that.

Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

✔ Why overwhelm isn’t about “too much to do” it’s about too many unmade decisions

You're not drowning in tasks; you’re drowning in open loops.Emails you’ll “deal with later.”Photos to sort “one day.”Kids’ clothes are stacked “for when you have time.”Every loop drains your bandwidth until you’re exhausted before the day even begins.

✔ How noise shrinks your world and keeps you living small

The news, your industry feeds, the economy talk, and other people’s opinions, none of this expands your world. It keeps you stuck in the broom cupboard, even though you built a freakin’ mansion of possibility.

✔ The ONE shift that instantly restores clarity

Decide. Fast. Clean. Aligned for you. Your overwhelm ends the minute you begin choosing.

✔ A simple ritual to clear the clutter mentally, digitally, emotionally, and physically

Unfollow. Delete. Unsubscribe. And then Delegate.Close any open loops so 2026 doesn’t run you… YOU run it.

✔ Why “noise” is the biggest dream-killer for women in business

Because when everyone else’s frequency is louder than yours, you forget you’re building a life and business your way, not theirs.

The Challenge for This Week:

Grab a notebook or your Notes app and ask:

👉 Where do I have unmade decisions looping right now? Notifications Photos Emails Files Junk drawers Kids’ mystery paper piles Old marketing assets Subscriptions that drain your vibe

Choose ONE area. Delete. Decide. Delegate.Give yourself 90 seconds and feel 90 minutes lighter.

Your Reminder:

You are not here to live in the metaphorical broom closet. You are here to live in the house you dreamed of, the one with the spa, the library, the media room, the breathtaking view, the thriving business, the peaceful home, the YOU who is fully in her power.

Tune out the noise. Tune back into your frequency. And make the decisions your future self is begging you to make. 2026 wants the most decisive, Moxie-filled version of you.

Today I’m joined by Rachel Cutler, co-owner of the Mahia Beach Store, a tiny seaside general store that’s been serving its community since 1940. And what I love most about this conversation? It’s not the polished “6-figure morning routine” fluff. It’s the real stuff: the messy middle, the exhaustion, the “I can’t keep doing it all” breaking point… and the practical shifts that helped Rachel move into a season she describes in one word:

Steady.

This is the episode for you if:

1. You’re doing everything and calling it “just business ownership”
2. Your calendar is living in your head (and waking you up at 2am)
3. You feel guilty leaving early… even though you started this business for freedom
4. You’re in perimenopause and sleep has left the chat
5. You’re craving a business that runs like a business not like a crisis

What We Get Into (The Real Talk Bits) 1) The breaking point no one posts online

Rachel found me not long after Cyclone Gabrielle but like she says, it wasn’t just the cyclone. It was COVID years, team dysfunction, financial pressure, working with her husband… and being so sleep-deprived she was basically running on fumes and grit.

At one point? It was get help, divorce, sell the business, I’m out. That’s what happens when you’ve been carrying too much for too long.

2) The belief she had to drop: “It has to be me”

Rachel admits the big shift was letting go of the story:

1. “No one else can do it”
2. “I don’t have time to teach them”
3. “It has to be perfect”
4. “If they don’t see me working, they’ll think I’m lazy”

Oof. If you felt that in your ribs… same.

3) The system that changed everything: The Power Hour

This episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually looks like to use time-blocking as an anchor not as a control freak tool. Rachel talks about how having her priorities scheduled stops her from being yanked around by everyone else’s urgency.

And I’ll say it again for the women in the back: Your calendar isn’t a cage. It’s a capacity unlock. It’s how we stop living in reactive mode.

4) “Giving them the answer” is actually stealing your future time

One of my favourite parts: the leadership shift from outsourcing thinking back to the team. Rachel catches herself mid-moment: instead of doing the “ten second job,” she teaches someone else how so she never has to do it again.

That’s how you build a business that doesn’t need you for every tiny thing.

5) The guilt she outgrew: leaving early

Rachel shares how she used to feel guilty leaving before staff… even though she was doing heaps of invisible work no one sees. Now? She leaves for the dentist without spiralling. Growth, babe.

6) Sleep (especially in perimenopause) is not optional

Rachel is brutally honest about insomnia and how it wrecked her leadership, focus, mood, and efficiency and how getting proper support (plus better sleep hygiene) became a turning point.

If you’re telling yourself “this is normal”… I need you to hear us both: It’s common. It’s not normal. Get support.

Tiny Gold Nuggets You’ll Want to Steal

1. 80% good is good enough (your wellbeing is not the thing we sacrifice for perfection)
2. The “yes, but…” habit keeps you stuck. Try “yes, and…” to create options and spaciousness
3. Systems you avoid are usually the ones that will save you the most time
4. Your team often thinks you’re richer than you are until you show them how money actually moves through the business

If This Episode Hit a Nerve…

If you’re sitting there thinking, “Yep… that’s me. I’m the bottleneck. I’m exhausted. I’m carrying too much.”

Your next step isn’t “try harder.” It’s getting clearer. Get supported. Put the right systems in place.

Because you don’t need more motivation. You need a way of running your business that doesn’t cost you your health, your marriage, and your actual life.

Episode Summary

In this raw, hilarious, and deeply honest episode, Jonny joins me on the mic as we take you behind the scenes of our 18-year adventure of buying, building, and growing The Rock our very first business we bought together back in 2007.

And no, we didn’t buy it with a trust fund (I wish). We bought it with loose change, blind optimism, and zero clue how big of a ride we were strapping into.

From kicking each other under the table when one of us (me) accidentally said “We’ll buy it!” to survive GFC, volunteer crew realities, handwritten booking sheets, porridge-based cuisine, and running cruises on caffeine and not nearly enough sleep… we’re pulling back the curtain on all of it.

This episode is a love letter to big leaps, messy action, partnership under pressure, and what really happens when you go “all in” on a business you believe in long before you have the systems, strategy, or sleep to back it up.

In This Episode: 🔥 Our Impulse Buy That Changed Everything

The true story behind the night we first heard The Rock might be for sale… and how my mouth said “We’ll buy it” before my brain consulted our bank account.

🔥 What The Rock Actually Is (and why people lose their minds over it)

An overnight adventure cruise through Northland that feels like getting plugged straight into the heart of real New Zealand phosphorescence, fishing, kayaking, island hopping, stargazing, sunrise magic.

🔥 Why Ignorance + Arrogance Were Our Superpowers

We didn’t know the economy was tanking.

We didn’t know compliance would explode.

We didn’t know most of the crew were volunteers. (Yep. That one hurt.)

We just knew we were all in and honestly, that was enough to get us off the ground.

🔥 The Hardest Parts We Never Saw Coming

1. A tax bill that nearly flattened us.
2. Endless compliance layers (hi Maritime NZ + liquor licence + food control plan + DOC + Qualmark…).
3. Living on the boat, eating leftover sausages and porridge, and running purely on grit.

🔥 The Strengths We Discovered in Each Other

Jonny = calm AF under pressure, natural connector, the steady anchor our magpie-energy business needed.

Me = fast learner, fast decision-maker, systems brain, the visionary pushing us forward.

Together = unstoppable (even when completely unqualified).

🔥 What We Would Tell Our 2007 Selves

1. “Enjoy the ride, it's going to shape everything.” (Jonny)
2. “Who, not how. And pay yourself. For the love of god, pay yourself.” (Me)

🔥 The Big Lesson

Taking a big risk together isn’t just survivable, it can be fun, expansive, identity-shifting, marriage-deepening magic when you’re both all in.

Why This Matters for YOU

Whether you're sitting in business overwhelm, wondering if you’ve made the wrong choice, feeling like your vision is too big or your bank account too small, hear this:

Every successful woman I’ve ever coached has had a moment where she made a decision she “had no business making”… and it changed everything.

Your version of The Rock is calling.

Your leap doesn’t have to look like ours but it does have to be yours.

If your brain has recently slammed on the brakes while your business is still trying to race ahead at full noise… you are not broken. You’re not failing. You’re not “less than.” You’re a woman navigating a physiological season that most business advice completely ignores.

In Episode 84, we dismantle the guilt, the shame, and the “just push harder” conditioning that so many of us carry, especially in seasons like perimenopause, pregnancy, early motherhood, or just… life being a lot.

This isn’t laziness.

It’s biology.

It’s capacity shifting.

And you get to lead differently here.

What We Get Into:

✔ The truth about low-capacity seasons (and why you can’t out-hustle hormones)

✔ Why your capacity ≠ your capability

✔ How to protect your confidence when your brain feels like mashed potatoes

✔ The four energy states every woman entrepreneur cycles through

✔ How to schedule your work, leadership, and life around your physiology

✔ Why rest is not a luxury it’s a leadership skill

✔ The simple mindset shift that stops your business from entering survival mode

✔ How lowering expectations (yes, really!) can actually boost performance across your whole business

If you’re brilliant but running on fumes…

If you’re second-guessing your output…

If you’re grieving the version of yourself who used to “do more”…

This episode will soothe your nervous system and sharpen your leadership all at once.

Key Takeaway

You cannot outwork biology, but you can lead yourself and your business with intention in first gear, fifth gear, and everything in between.

Slowing down isn't a weakness.

It’s wisdom hard-earned through years of juggling business, motherhood, partnership, home life, and everything else you've carried.

Together, Sarah and Ihipera get into the messy, beautiful reality of building a purpose-driven business while juggling family, identity, and leadership. From breaking perfectionism to redefining success, this conversation is full of truths you need to hear, big laughs, and actionable insights for any woman building her dream life on her own terms.

💬 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔ Redefining Success: How Ihipera stepped away from traditional measures of “success” to build a business grounded in purpose, culture, and community.

✔ Progress Over Perfection: The mindset shift that turned a “recovering perfectionist” into a confident business owner leading with ease and authenticity.

✔ Breaking Patriarchal Norms: The courage it takes for women, especially Māori women to lead businesses in spaces still shaped by outdated systems.

✔ Team, Trust & Tau (Balance): How Kaupare Law embeds Māori values, language and wellbeing( hauora) into its structure and how it’s paying off.

✔ Motherhood Meets Leadership: How Ihipera dropped the guilt and found joy in taking time for herself, proving you can be a present mum and a profitable business owner.

✔ Ripple Effects: From her daughter’s confidence in Te Reo Māori to her team’s wellbeing programs, Ihipera’s story shows how one woman’s alignment can change an entire community.

💡 Key Takeaways:

1. “Make your why bigger than your why bother.”
2. Success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s version; it's about alignment, not achievement.
3. The path to balance isn’t about doing less; it’s about doing what matters.
4. It takes a sisterhood to grow a business and surround yourself with women who get it.

💥 Quote Worth Repeating:

“You can run a profitable business, be a present mama, and still make an impact. It takes a village to raise a child and a sisterhood to grow a business.” – Ihipera Peters

In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest mindset traps holding brilliant women back, treating your business like a baby that can’t survive without you. 👶💼

If you’re constantly checking in, fixing everyone’s mistakes, and believing that no one else can do it right you’re not leading a business; you’re parenting a codependent toddler. And that, my friend, is exhausting.

Let’s flip the script. Because your business doesn’t need a mother… It needs a leader.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

✔ Why micromanaging, hovering, and “rescuing” your team keeps you stuck in the weeds.

✔ The crucial difference between parenting and leading and how that shift transforms your team and your freedom.

✔ How to let go without letting it all fall apart (hint: structure = trust).

✔ The simple post-it strategy to identify what only YOU can do and what you can finally delegate.

✔ The real reason “control freak tendencies” are about fear, not standards and how to release them for good.

It’s time to stop doing $40/hour tasks when you’re a $1000/hour woman.

You didn’t build your business to be its babysitter.

You built it to be free, impactful, and present at work and at home.

So this week, I challenge you to let go of just one thing.

No swooping in. No rescuing. No re-doing it yourself.

Delegate it, coach through it, and let your team rise.

Because the moment you stop mothering your business… it grows up and so do you. 🌱

You are not your business’s mother. You are its leader.

Now, go lead like the badass woman you were born to be. 💪

Would your business keep running… or would it grind to a halt?

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, we’re looking at something most business mamas avoid: if your business only works when you’re at 100% capacity, you don’t have a business, you have a ticking time bomb.

I share:

✔ A raw client story that shows exactly why building systems isn’t a “nice to have” it’s survival.

✔ The emotional and logistical load women carry when life throws a curveball (partner injuries, sick kids, or just the reality of your cycle).

✔ How to run the “Can It Run Without Me?” test to spot the cracks in your business.

✔ My 3-step framework for crisis-proofing so your business bends (instead of breaks) when the unexpected happens.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

✨ Protect your time, your peace, and your people.

✨ Build systems that support you when you can’t be “on.”

✨ Redefine leadership not as constant survival, but as designing a business that thrives without burning you out.

Crisis-proofing isn’t paranoia, it's leadership. It’s making sure your business, works even when you can’t.

📲 Let’s keep the conversation going! Follow me on Instagram and Facebook – and send me your questions for upcoming episodes.

👉 Your challenge this week: Pick ONE system in your business (onboarding, invoicing, delivery, whatever feels leaky) and start documenting it today. That’s how crisis-proofing begins.

In today’s episode, I’m looking at one the biggest reasons delegation doesn’t work in so many businesses: lack of documentation. Yep, you heard me if it’s not documented, it’s not delegated.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ Why delegation without documentation is just dumping tasks and how that sets your team (and you!) up for failure.

✔ The two types of expectations your team must have in writing if you want them to thrive (and stop asking you the same damn questions).

✔ The difference between dusty SOPs that nobody reads and living systems that actually get used where the work happens.

✔ How to build your Success Map™ a one-page, game-changing framework that makes delegation lighter, faster, and more effective.

✔ Why your team wants clear systems (spoiler: it makes them feel empowered instead of micromanaged).

This episode is packed with practical insights you can put to work today. Whether you’re leading a team of one or thirty, documentation is the leverage point that makes everything else flow.

Because you’re not bad at delegating, you're just missing the systems to support it. And when you fix that, delegation becomes easy, your team starts stepping up, and you finally get the freedom you’ve been craving.

Stay moxie,

Sarah 💜

I’m talking the unsexy truth about how your schedule and your sales are linked. The way you spend your time tells the real story of your results. If sales are slipping, chances are your schedule is the culprit.

We’ll dig into:

✔ Why glamorising the “good times” in business can blind you to the truth.

✔ How letting the noise of the economy dictate your actions kills momentum.

✔ The Revenue-First Calendar Principle and how it saves you from last-minute, grabby “commission breath.”

✔ Why sacred time blocks for sales and strategy are your ultimate profit protectors.

✔ Real stories from clients who doubled profit and finally paid themselves six figures… even in “tough” markets.

This isn’t about working harder it’s about making sure money-making tasks actually make it onto your calendar (before the bank account screams for attention).

If you’ve ever found yourself cleaning the house before following up on sales calls 🙋‍♀️… this one’s for you.

✨ Resources & Next Steps

1. Want help building your own Revenue-First Calendar? Inside the Done By 3 Club and the Moxie Business Advantage, we use my proven Power Hour framework to make sure you’re putting profit first every single week.

Sarah

I’m opening up about one of the hardest seasons in my business journey: the time I built a business so big, so demanding, and so misaligned with my life that I ended up hating it. I’ll share how ignoring my intuition led me into burnout, boredom, and nearly half a million dollars in legal battles… and more importantly, how I clawed my way back to creating businesses that serve my life, not the other way around.

This conversation is raw, real, and packed with lessons you can take straight into your own business. If you’ve ever:

✔ Wondered if you should burn it all down and start again…

✔ ️ Felt trapped by a business model that doesn’t fit your life…

✔ Or just wished you could build a business that feels like a sanctuary instead of a monster…

…then this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. Why the environment matters and how even small changes can create massive shifts in clarity and energy.
2. The three ways out when you hate your business (burn it down, sell it, or reshape it).
3. The “dumb tax” I paid so you don’t have to and the simple decision filters I use now to avoid repeating history.
4. How boredom and burnout sneak into your business (and how to spot them before they wreck your joy).
5. The exact framework I now use (and teach inside Moxie Business Advantage + Done by 3 Club) to rebuild a business that is both profitable and present.

Why This Matters:

You don’t hate your business; you hate the way you’ve been forced to run it. And the good news? You don’t need to burn it down to fix it. You already have the pieces you need to remould, reimagine, and rebuild a business that fuels your bank account and your soul.

✨ It’s time to move from monster to sanctuary.

Until next time.

Stay Moxie.

In this episode, Jonny and I get real about what it looks like to blend not just cultures (hello, Kiwi farm girl meets English city boy 🌍) but also wildly different money stories, risk tolerances, and visions for the future.

We unpack:

✔ How our upbringings shaped the way we each see money, risk, and security.

✔ The messy (and sometimes clashing) moments of running businesses together while raising a family.

✔ Why understanding each other’s money mindsets and natural energies has been crucial for our marriage and our business success.

✔ The turning points COVID, health scares, parenting that forced us to get radically clear on our shared vision.

✔ How designing “our life,” instead of me living Jonny’s or him living mine, changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt the tension of trying to merge different money habits, cultural backgrounds, or even just different personalities inside your relationship or business partnership, this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale. You’ll walk away with a fresh perspective on how communication, shared vision, and a little bit of moxie can turn potential conflict into unstoppable momentum.

Building a sustainable, thriving business isn’t just about strategy it’s about aligning your values, your stories, and your vision with the people you love most.

Because together, we’re rewriting what success looks like without the burnout, without the guilt, and definitely without the “second shift.”

That was Stacey M’s reality.

Stacey, founder of Great Southern Stay in Albany, Western Australia, shares her journey from chaos to content, from “answering calls straight out of surgery” to finally paying herself a proper salary and building a business that works with her life, not against it.

Together, we dive into:

✔️ What it’s really like to manage 40+ holiday properties AND a family

✔️ The moment Stacey wanted to walk away from it all, business, marriage, everything

✔️ How she realised “bigger isn’t better” and let go of the magical 50-property target

✔️ The systems, boundaries, and “after-hours” team that gave her her sanity back

✔️ Why saying no (without guilt) changed her life at home and at work

✔️ The massive win of paying herself a six-figure salary after years of paying herself nothing

This is not a glossy Instagram version of success. This is the messy, real, and transformational story of a woman who built a business, nearly lost herself, and then rebuilt on her own terms.

If you’ve ever cried in your car after eight phone calls, felt guilty for wanting time away from your family, or thought you had to choose between being a good mum and a profitable business owner, Stacey’s story will hit home. (Wanna watch her journey over on Instagram join her and her team here.)

We’re talking about why being “busy” isn’t the same as being profitable and how to stop mistaking action for progress. After 20 years in business (and the list of lessons learned that comes from that), I’ll show you how to ditch the dopamine hit of ticking off meaningless tasks and instead focus on your Critical Success Factors the few, powerful actions that actually grow revenue, free up your time, and get you paid what you’re worth.

Here’s what you’ll learn in today’s episode:

✔ Why your to-do list is sabotaging your business growth

✔ The difference between busy work and needle-moving work

✔ How to identify your three Critical Success Factors that drive income, impact, and sustainability

✔ A simple audit exercise you can do THIS WEEK to reclaim your focus

✔ How to build a business that doesn’t just survive, but thrives without you chained to every task

Because I don’t want you collapsing into bed each night after completing 30 tasks of a to-do list, still feeling like nothing’s moving forward. I want you building a business that pays you a six-figure salary, gives you weekends off, and lets you be truly present with your family ❤️

Stay Moxie,

Sarah

In this episode, I sit down with my husband Jonny for the first in a series that gets into the messy, magical, and sometimes maddening reality of building a business and a life together.

From meeting on a beach in Thailand (yep, more than 20 years ago!) to navigating the very different worlds we each came from, Jonny and I chat:

1. How we went from adventure buddies to business partners
2. What it’s really like for him to be the “supportive partner” while I lead our businesses
3. The moments we’ve had to stop, re-align, and choose our next chapter together
4. Why freedom means something different to both of us (and how we make that work)
5. The surprising ways perimenopause has challenged not just me, but us as a couple and business partners

We get real about the fact that this hasn’t always been smooth sailing. We’ve had seasons of feeling stuck, of almost walking away, and of rediscovering how to intentionally build a business that supports the life we want, not the other way around.

If you’ve ever wondered how to bring your partner along for this business ownership ride or how to keep your marriage and business thriving without losing yourself this conversation is for you.

💡 What You’ll Take Away

1. Why your partner doesn’t need to “come from your world” to thrive in it with you
2. The 3 things that have made our relationship work in business and in life
3. How to create intentional check-ins that keep your goals, values, and dreams aligned
4. What supportive partnership really looks like beyond the Instagram highlight reel

✔ Follow me on Instagram & Facebook – I share behind-the-scenes stories, live training, and the real talk every business mama needs.

✔ Submit your questions for upcoming episodes – I love answering what’s on your heart and mind, right here on the podcast.

Because the truth is you don’t have to choose between being a great partner, a great mum, and a successful business owner. You just need a little moxie…and maybe a Jonny.

🎧 Listen now and let’s redefine what success looks like together.

If you’ve ever been tempted by “the dream” you know the one: flexible work-from-home hours, big commission checks, and Insta-worthy freedom vibes this one is for you. Because here's the deal: MLMs and affiliate models aren’t businesses. They’re commission-only sales roles… and often, they're unpaid labor in disguise.

🔥 Inside this episode:

1. Why owning your business (and your decisions) is a FAR safer option.
2. The cold, hard numbers: approximately 85% of people in MLMs earn under $1K a year
3. The hidden cost of “selling the dream” (when you’re not living it yourself)
4. Why these models suck your time, energy, and trust without giving you real control
5. The better alternatives: legit business ideas you can build (and own!) without sacrificing your sanity

You’ll also get a sneak peek into our annual Beyond Retreat 3-day immersive experience designed to help you cut through the noise, rewrite the stories holding you back, and finally take that big step beyond the edge you've been circling.

Let me say this loud and clear: If you already have a business, your time is better spent fixing your current model. If you don’t have one yet? Let’s build you something you actually own something that can’t be taken away with a boardroom pen stroke.

You deserve a business that’s present AND profitable. Not a hustle that leaves you chasing people in your inbox at 2 a.m. ✖

👇 Tune in now if:

✔ You’re tired of being sold hype over substance

✔ You’ve ever wondered if these “business opportunities” are really worth it

✔ You’re ready to build (or rebuild) a business that gives you freedom, flexibility, and ownership

Let’s rewrite the story together. You’ve got more options and more power than they ever told you. 💥

And that’s exactly what we do around here.

Until next time, stay moxie.

In this episode of the Moxie Movement, I’m breaking down:

✔ Why “accessible” does NOT mean “easy”

✔ The dangerous noise flooding the online space (and how to rise above it)

✔ The essential foundations you must have to build a business that’s both profitable and present

✔ How visibility ≠ value and engagement ≠ income

✔ Why it’s time to stop measuring your worth in likes and instead anchor into your why, your direction, and your real estate (yep, I’m talking websites and email lists, not another Instagram reel)

If you’re feeling like it’s getting louder and harder out there to be seen, heard, and paid this one’s for you. I’m not here to sugarcoat it. I’m here to hand you the filters and foundation you need to build a business that lasts beyond the trends and TikToks.

🔥 What You’ll Walk Away With:

1. A 3-part foundation for making smart decisions in noisy spaces
2. How to stop trying to be everywhere and start focusing on what actually converts
3. How to evaluate your ROI (return on attention)because scrolling ain’t strategy
4. The critical difference between rented space and owned space online (and why your business can't afford to rent forever)
5. Hope. Clarity. And your next right move.

Together, we get into:

✅ The messy, magical path from blogging mum to online community and social media support

✅ The moment she realised retirement could wait, but her kids couldn’t

✅ How moving home forced her to face her past and rewrite her future

✅ The invisible load of motherhood, partnership, and business leadership

✅ Rest as a radical act (yes, lying down counts as strategy!)

✅ Why “done by 3” isn’t lazy its liberation

✅ The power of the phrase “this is my business” (say it out loud!)

✅ And the underrated superpower of learning to say and instead of but

This is more than a simple chat. It’s a masterclass in realignment, resilience, and reclaiming your narrative as a woman in business.

💬 “I can do this... because I always have.”

This line needs to settle into your bones. This episode is a hug, a truth bomb, and a business therapy session wrapped into one.

🎧 Tune in if you’re:

2. Tired of feeling like you're supposed to be everywhere for everyone
3. Craving a business that feels as beautiful behind the scenes as it looks online

You just need a little Moxie... and the right community behind you. 💛

If you're doing everything from dishes to emotional labour while also trying to grow a business, this episode is your loving reminder to knock that off.

This time around, we’re calling out the BS belief that support at home is a luxury and breaking down why real business growth starts inside your house, not just inside your bank account.

We’re exploring:

✔ Why the “self-made woman” myth needs to die already

✔ The invisible price of doing it all yourself (hint: your energy and your income)

✔ How outsourcing doesn’t have to cost a thing, especially when you’ve got kids who know how to play on a tablet

✔ The 3-level Moxie Method for getting help at home without guilt or drama

✔ How to turn your home from a hotel into a high-functioning team (yes, even with toddlers, teens, or that man-child partner 🙃)

You’ll also get the truth behind that little voice whispering, “I’ll ask for help when I’ve earned it.” Yup, that’s exactly what is keeping you stuck, broke, and burnt out.

💡 Ready to flip the script?

Support isn’t a luxury. It’s the launchpad for you and your business.

Because an unsupported woman builds resentment.

But a supported woman?

She builds a legacy. 💥

👉 If your business is leading to burnout, resentment, or broken relationships - you're not building success. You're building a breakdown waiting to happen.

I’ve lived it. I’ve built the business that stole time from my daughter, that pulled me away from my marriage, and nearly stole my joy. I found my way back from that - because no revenue number is worth your peace, your presence, or your people.

Here’s What We Get Into:

✔ The truth behind why most "successful" business models don’t work for mums.

✔ How to stop building businesses that cost you the things you care most about.

✔ The real definition of success for modern mothers in business and why we need to stop measuring ourselves against models made by men with wives at home.

✔ Why you need a support crew who believes in your vision (especially on the days you don't).

✔ How to stop waiting for “someday” and start living a values-aligned business and life right now.

We talk about scaffolding. Structure. Non-negotiables. And the kind of rest that makes you magnetic and impactful, instead of strung out and disconnected.

I’ll also walk you through:

1. How to identify what your business is really costing you right now
3. Why “one day when it gets bad enough” is a BS narrative that keeps you stuck
5. And how to build a plan that supports your relationships, your health, your joy, and your profit, not just the vanity metrics of business

“If your business is costing you your peace, your presence, or your people - it’s time to stop and do it differently.”

This episode is your permission slip and call to change all in one.

Because YES - you can be a devoted mum, a loving partner, and a bank-making business badass.

You just can’t do it the way they told you to.

You’ve gotta do it the Moxie way.

In this raw and honest convo, I unpack what’s really behind your exhaustion , being the default everything. The default parent. The default CEO. The default human who’s “got it all handled.”

Spoiler alert: That sh*t’s not sustainable.

Here’s the deal , when you’re the go-to for everyone and everything, you're not just draining your energy. You're drowning your brilliance, diluting your leadership, and delaying your dreams.

But I’ve got you. We’re rewriting that script. Together. 🧡

In this episode, we dive into:

✔ What being the “default” actually costs you (mentally, emotionally, and energetically)

✔ How decision fatigue sabotages your genius , and what to do about it

✔ The sneaky way we mom our team members (yep, I did it too 🙋‍♀️)

✔ Why your environment is more powerful than your mindset , and how to shift both

✔ Real talk on boundaries: how to set them, hold them, and survive the feelings that follow

✔ Practical tools to start disrupting the “default” role in your home and biz , without burning bridges or setting fire to your to-do list

What you’ll walk away with:

💡 The exact framework I use to identify and eliminate “default zones” in life and business

💡 A fresh perspective on motherhood, leadership, and being the CEO of your whole life

💡 Permission to stop being the martyr , and start being the visionary

💡 The courage to create a family and business culture where everyone steps up

Because love, this isn’t just about burnout , it’s about ownership.

It’s about building a business that doesn’t need you to be the rescuer, fixer, and emotional shock absorber 24/7.

It’s about raising kids who don’t need you to find their damn shoes.

It’s about reclaiming the energy to show up as the leader, mother, and woman you were always meant to be. ✨

Thankfully, it’s not you, it's the gap between “success” and “freedom.”

Here’s whats dropping this episode!

1. The Freedom Gap Defined
2. Why landing your first $100K or hiring your first team member can feel like a cage, not a launchpad.
4. Small Shifts, Big Results
5. How Vietnam’s transformation of Fansipan mountain taught me that 20 years of incremental upgrades (from a gruelling hike to cable-car convenience) mirror the way our businesses must evolve.
7. Communication 3-Step Process
8. The “third step” of communication ensures that your team hears the same message you send, eliminating costly miscommunications about who does what when.
10. Redefining Success Metrics
11. Beyond revenue: measuring wins in health (Jonny’s 80 kg milestone!), relationships, and your calendar’s Done by Three lens.
13. The Done by Three Lens
14. Block your week around real freedom, time, creative space, and energy-restoring rituals rather than chasing “more.”

Episode Highlights

1. “Most of us overestimate what we’ll do in a year but underestimate what we can achieve in ten.” It’s a favourite quote for a reason, you are expecting too much in the short term and not aiming high enough long term. Stop taking score too soon.
3. Vietnam Reflections: From scaling Fansipan at 3,170 m to tackling your business focus on stacking small wins daily.
4. Miscommunication Lesson: Flat walking track ≠ flat motorbike ride 🚲always check for understanding.
6. Health as a Business Metric: Why your spouse’s well-being (and yours) belongs on the scoreboard.
8. Success Fatigue: When society’s success markers leave you exhausted, it’s time to redesign your version of “done.”

Action Steps for Your Week

1. Audit Your “Over-Functioning” Zones: Identify three areas where you disproportionately invest time and energy without a payoff and eliminate or simplify them.
2. Calendar Freedom Block: Schedule a tech-free morning or afternoon for reading, reflection, or just doing nothing.
3. “If I Were Starting Today” Test: For one task or system each day, ask: “Would I build this if I were starting from scratch?” If not, delete it.

Let’s close that freedom gap together because real success feels like breathing easy, not sprinting in heels. See you next time, and until then, stay moxie!

Yeah, I said it. And I say it with love (and 20+ years of lessons from the trenches where I did exactly that!). Because I’ve been that bottleneck. That business owner who’s hired amazing humans, then sabotaged their success by avoiding daily feedback like it’s a live grenade.

In this episode, we unpack the uncomfortable and essential place of accountability. No BS. No pretty stories. Just the straight facts about what leadership in your own business actually requires.

🔥 Here’s what you’ll take away:

1. The sneaky way you might be the bottleneck in your business and how to shift it.
2. Why a “daily feedback” rhythm is the golden ticket to unlocking team performance (and reclaiming your sanity).
3. The 5:1 rule that turns decent team culture into game-changing momentum.
4. Why micromanaging and avoiding hard convos are two sides of the same self-sabotage coin.

How to know when it’s time to lovingly let a team member go, and why it’s not a failure, it’s leadership.

And yep, I go there too, talking about perimenopausal brain fog, forgetting names I should know by heart, and the emotional gymnastics of juggling business, babies, and being the damn backbone of everything.

We also talk fascia release therapy (the one thing we stopped doing even though it was changing our lives 🙃), my new glasses obsession (they’re the new dangly earrings, people), and the silent epidemic of badass women doing all the things and quietly breaking down.

If that’s you, I see you. I was you. And this episode? It’s your permission slip to take your power back, starting with how you lead.

🎯 YOUR MOXIE MOVES:

1. Start giving daily feedback (yep, DAILY). Five things they’re doing right. One thing they need to shift.
2. Ditch the mind-reading myth. Your team can’t meet expectations you haven’t clearly set.
3. Set scoreboards. Every role. Every week. Because if no one knows what winning looks like, how can you expect them to hit the mark?
4. Remember: Accountability isn’t cruelty. It’s clarity. It’s leadership.

💬 “Stop tolerating mediocrity. You’re paying people to do a job. Don’t keep doing it for them.”

Your business isn’t a charity. It’s your vehicle for freedom, for your time, your family, your purpose. But freedom only comes when we lead like we mean it. So if you’ve been shying away from holding people accountable, this is your loving wake-up call. 💛

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on the real reason your business might be feeling flat: you’re avoiding actual human connection. Yep. I said it.

In this round of the podcast, we share how stepping away from the keyboard and leaning into real-life conversations can unlock the momentum you’ve been craving, without needing to “post and hope.” This one is a spicy mix of personal reflection (hello, steak cravings and sleep struggles), real-talk about burnout and visibility, and a permission slip to do business the human way.

Here’s what we’re unpacking in this episode:

✅ Why hiding behind content creation is stalling your growth

✅ How a nap might be the most productive thing you do today

✅ Real-life rituals, full-moon circles, and world-schooling magic

✅ A $5K turnaround story, powered by 3 real conversations

✅ The forgotten magic of phone calls, coffee dates & follow-ups

✅ Your no-fuss plan to reconnect with past leads and get new sales

This isn’t about giving up social media (you know I love a good caption), but it is about remembering that business is human-to-human. And human-to-human doesn’t happen in Canva or your inbox. It happens in conversations.

So here’s your challenge:

Put down the ring light. Pick up the phone. Write a list. Schedule that coffee. Let’s stop pretending that connection can be automated and start building the kind of business that moves, fast, strong, and joyfully.

Until next time, stay moxie. 💫

💥 You’re robbing your business of your best energy. 💥

In this episode, I’m outlining why the housework you’re doing isn’t just domestic labour. It’s a business issue. Because that brain space you’re spending on whose socks are clean or what’s for dinner? That’s brain space you could be using to grow your revenue, serve your clients, or map out your next big move.

Inside this episode:

✔ Why you don’t need “more time”. You need a housewife

✔ The difference between having it all vs. doing it all (and why we’re ditching the latter)

✔ How decision fatigue is tanking your creative energy

✔ The real definition of partnership, and why “he helps me” doesn’t cut it

✔ My fave system for making the invisible labour visible

✔ How to offload laundry, cleaning, and groceries, without guilt

✔ Why hiring help isn’t a luxury, it’s a smart business investment

✔ A permission slip to raise functioning humans (and stop doing everything for them)

This episode isn’t about shaming your partner or handing your kid a mop with resentment.

It’s about redefining what success looks like and realising your business can’t grow if your brain is buried in domestic to-dos.

Whether you’re trying to hit 6-figures or just feel like yourself again… it starts with a choice:

🌟 If you’re not changing it, you’re choosing it.

And today, we choose freedom, clarity, and a biz that works with our life, not against it.

We’re looking close at all the sneaky way overwhelm starts to run you and your business (and how to shut that shit down with practical, bite-sized changes).

From dodging the supermarket (because no business woman should be pushing a trolley ever again 🙅‍♀️) to handing off the housework and giving our kids life skills and freedom, this episode is the permission slip you didn’t know you needed to put the damn load down.

Here’s what we cover inside:

• Why overwhelm isn’t your fault, but is your responsibility to fix
• The invisible load women carry (and how to make it hella visible)
• How outsourcing laundry can change your life (not even kidding)
• The myth of multitasking and why your business needs your full brain
• How to use the Power Hour to work smarter, not harder
• The no-BS truth: overwhelm is not a personality trait, it's a systems problem
• And the most Moxie move of all? Saying NO as a full sentence 🙌

This episode is a love letter to every woman who’s been running the household, the business, and everyone else’s lives, and is damn tired of being tired.

Success for us as parents isn’t just revenue. It’s time freedom and flexibility. It’s getting your laundry done without touching a single sock. It’s having the mental clarity to be a badass business owner and a present parent.

Ready to start reclaiming your time, energy, and brain space?

💥 Takeaways to put into action:

✔ Identify one area that’s causing the most overwhelm, start there
✔ Remove 3 daily decisions (hello, outfit planning + no more alarm snoozing.. Yes I see you!)
✔ Build a micro ritual or routine to anchor your change
✔ Say NO to sh*t that’s not aligned, future you will be grateful

If you’ve been sitting around waiting for “confidence” to magically strike before you approach that opportunity, launch that new service/product, post that Reel, fire that underperforming team member, or raise your prices... you’re going to be waiting a looooong time.

Confidence isn’t the starting line. It’s the finish line. 🏁

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, we’re calling out the myth that you need to feel confident before you take action in your business. (Spoiler: you don't.)

What you really need?

👉 Tiny reps.

👉 Daily action.

👉 A whole lot of messy figuring-it-out energy.

Here’s what we get into:

1. Why “waiting for confidence” keeps you stuck (and broke)
2. How real confidence is built through competence (aka reps, reps, and more reps)
3. The simple mindset shift that will help you lead, sell, market, and grow even when you feel like you’re winging it
4. Why building self-efficacy (your belief that you can figure it out) is way more powerful than confidence anyway

Plus... real stories, real stumbles, and a LOT of laughs about falling off bikes, Thai language fails, and accidentally Zooming your team with the camera pointed up your nose. (Yep, been there.)

Because if you’re not failing a little, you’re not growing enough. 🚀

✨ Confidence is earned, not given.

✨ You get better by doing.

✨ You’re more capable than you even realize.

Stay Moxie, Sarah x

In This Episode

1. Why “It’s Just a Slow Season” Is BS: It’s not the calendar that’s the culprit, it’s your planning. If you see a predictable dip in sales, it’s time to reverse-engineer your actions and timings.
3. Backtrack Your Wins (and Your Misses) Learn how to map your sales cycle 30–90 days back, identify the missing actions, and plug the leaks before they sink your month.
5. Three Types of Seasonal “Excuses” Holidays, school camps, even your birthday. It’s all data. Spot the pattern, then build your promotion plan around it.
7. Sexy, Evergreen Sales Systems. Whether it’s posting content, emailing your list, or picking up the phone, create repeatable processes that run on autopilot (yes, really!).

Your Moxie Action Steps

1. Pull your last 12 months of sales data and spot the predictable lulls.
2. Work backward: what were you (not) doing 30/60/90 days prior?
3. Draft one mini-promotion for each predictable dip-pre-sell in advance to banish the slump.
4. Automate at least one sales action (daily phone calls, weekly emails, or content drops) so you never miss an opportunity.

Why It Matters

When you stop blaming the season and start owning your strategy, you:

1. Smash the feast-and-famine cycle forever
2. Enjoy consistent cash flow (hello, stress-free nights!)
3. Celebrate wins more often (confetti, anyone?)

Stay moxie!

In this 60th episode milestone, Sarah is focused on something most women in business aren’t talking about nearly enough: hormones, business rhythms, and the BS lie that we’re supposed to “just push through.”

From the brain fog of perimenopause to the burnout caused by trying to figure everything out on your own, this one’s a wake-up call and a warm hug wrapped in one

Sarah shares why:

1. Your brain isn’t broken - it’s just begging for support.
2. You’re wasting time (and money) trying to reinvent the wheel.
3. The real shortcut to success is learning from people who’ve already done what you want to do.
4. Business built around your cycle, energy, and LIFE isn’t just a dream it’s strategic AF.
5. Why tactics from another industry might just be the hack you need (Like messenger ads as your new marketing bestie, yep, even for firewood).

And the mic drop moment? “You don’t need more knowledge,you need more action.” 🙌

🎯 Key Takeaways:

1. Stop learning. Start APPLYING. One tactic a month = a completely different business by year’s end.
2. Learn to spot the clue trail of success and unapologetically copy/paste the bits that fit.
3. Triggered by someone’s success? That might be the exact person you need to learn from.
4. You can build your business to support your biology. (No more forcing your body through a 9-5 that was literally never built for us.)
5. The dumb tax is real! Let’s not pay it if we don’t have to, yeah?

If you’re still charging the same rates you did 2-3 years ago, congratulations, you’ve just given yourself a pay cut! And if you’ve been apologising for your prices? We need to talk.

💸 Why You’re Probably Undercharging (and How It’s Costing You)

Too many incredible women in business are pricing themselves into burnout. Why? Because we’ve been conditioned to undervalue our labor. We do it for free at home, and we bring that mindset straight into our businesses.

✅ You deserve at least six figures of profit and six figures of salary from your business.

✅ You need to price for sustainability so that if life throws a curveball (like it did with Jonny’s health), your business doesn’t collapse.

✅ Pricing isn’t about being cheaper than the competition. It’s about building the life YOU want - whether that’s traveling the world, being home for Christmas with your kids, or simply not feeling chained to your desk 24/7.

🎯 The Formula for Pricing Like a Pro

In this episode, I break down my go-to framework for setting profitable prices that actually support your business and life. You’ll learn:

1. How to calculate your true fixed costs (Hint: Your salary is part of this, not an afterthought!)
3. Why building a business that can run without you starts with paying yourself a market salary.
5. How to price for profitability and sustainability, not just survival.
7. The secret to upselling and add-ons that drive customer behavior (because everyone wants the private cabin, right?)

✨ Real Talk from My Journey

Seven years ago, Scarlett (my wise-beyond-her-years daughter) told me I needed to be home on Christmas Day. That moment changed everything. Now, I’m living a life where we can travel, experience magic under a full moon in Thailand, and stay connected to what matters most. But it didn’t happen by accident - it happened because we got deliberate.

I built a business that supports my life, not the other way around. And guess what? You can too.

📣 Ready to Stop Undervaluing Yourself?

If you’ve been apologising for your prices or afraid to raise them this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to price for profit and sustainability so you can build the life (and business) you actually want.

Today’s episode is a reality check on why taking advice from specialists who don’t see the big picture can derail your business.

👉 Ever felt like you’re spinning your wheels-following every expert’s advice but still not getting the results you want? You’re not alone. So many women I work with have been drowning in advice from niche specialists, only to realize they’ve been solving the wrong problem.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script and talking about:

✅ Why specialists only fix ONE part of your business-and how that messes with the whole system.

✅ The dangers of over-niching when it comes to taking business advice.

✅ How to create an overarching strategy that filters advice and protects your business.

✅ Why understanding the real problem is key to unlocking growth (Hint: It’s rarely just “more leads”).

✅ The importance of small tests before big commitments-because 2025 is the year for testing, not guessing.

If you’re tired of feeling like you’re patching holes without fixing the leaky pipe, this episode is a MUST. We’re diving deep into why business owners need to play the role of “generalist” before trusting specialists-and how to make decisions that align with YOUR goals, not someone else’s strategy.

🎯 Key Takeaways:

1. You Need a Framework to Filter Advice:
2. Taking advice without understanding how it fits into your bigger strategy is a fast track to overwhelm and wasted time. You need a clear strategic plan to filter advice through.
3. 
   
4. Specialists Don’t See Your Life Context:
5. Most advisors don’t ask about your life beyond business-like juggling three kids, a partner, and a sick family member. They push solutions that don’t fit your reality. Context matters, always.
6. 
   
7. Test Before You Invest:
8. Don’t go all-in with specialists before running small experiments. Test their knowledge, see if they consider the whole business, and make sure they align with your goals. Small investments save you from costly mistakes.
9. 
   
10. Know the REAL Problem Before You Fix It:
11. More leads aren’t always the answer. Often, it’s a symptom of a deeper issue. Look at the bigger picture before throwing time and money at a “solution.”
12. 
    
13. Generalists Save You Time & Money:
14. You don’t need a specialist to fix every part of your business. Sometimes, a solid generalist who understands the bigger picture will save you from fixing the wrong problem.
15. 
    

💡 Quote Bombs You Can’t Miss:

1. “Stop solving for the wrong problem. If the solution is always ‘more leads,’ you’re missing the real issue.”
2. 
   
3. “If you’re only listening to niche experts, you’re getting tunnel vision in a 360-degree world.”
4. 
   
5. “Test before you invest. Small steps save big regrets.”

Here, we’re busting the myth that busy equals productive. Sadly, it doesn’t. I’ve lived that life, working day and night, thinking that if I just worked harder, everything would fall into place. But guess what? Busy is an illusion. And if your time isn’t aligned with what actually moves the needle, your business (and life) will stay stuck.

✨ Here’s what we’re covering off today:

1. How to spot the busy trap and ditch the “doing” addiction.
3. The difference between busy work and money work (and why you should care).
5. Why your laundry list of shoulds is keeping you broke and burned out.
7. The 3-step formula to audit your daily tasks so you can delete, automate, and delegate like a pro.
9. How to prioritize the work that actually grows your bank account (and do it first).

💡 Moxie Takeaway:

If you’re constantly saying, “I’m busy,” it’s a red flag. What you’re really saying is, “I don’t know what my priorities are.” Stop being busy and start being productive. Audit your daily list, focus on high-impact tasks first, and watch your time translate into real results.

I’m coming in with a reality check you need to hear if you're spending hours curating the perfect reel, agonising over hashtags, or tweaking Canva graphics like they’re your ticket to a 6-figure profit.

📣 Social media is the microphone - not the whole damn message.

If your entire strategy is post and pray, you don’t have a business... you’ve got a social media addiction.

And that strategy? It’s costing you sales, sanity, and precious time with the people who actually matter.

This episode is packed with:

✅ A wake-up call about where your cash is actually coming from (spoiler: it’s probably not your Instagram grid)

✅ Tactical advice on batching content and keeping your scroll time under control

✅ The simple sales moves (like calling actual humans!) that will move the needle faster than any viral reel

✅ The bold reminder that connection - not content - is what makes you money

And of course, I serve it up with a splash of real life: a near-teen with a babysitting gig, a beloved secondhand scooter, and a gratitude jar that's overflowing (literally).

👊 This one’s for the woman building a business around her life - not the other way around.

Nobody ever built a sustainable, freedom-filled business by chasing likes and fiddling with filters all day.

If you’re serious about hitting that 6-figure profit mark, it’s time to stop solving the wrong damn problems.

💬 Let’s make a deal: After you listen, you're gonna call five people, track where your sales actually come from, and reclaim your time from the social scroll hole. Deal? Deal.

🎧 Listen now and let’s talk real business.

Jacqui is a graphic designer turned branding mentor who gets the reality of building a business and a life at the same time. From a self-employed designer to running a full-scale design studio while raising two children with her husband, Jacqui shares how she evolved her business without losing her sanity and how you can create a brand that truly reflects you.

🔥 Inside This Episode:

✔️ Branding Beyond Pretty: Why your brand is more than colors and fonts. It’s about who you are and who you want to attract.

✔️ Business Growth in Seasons: How Jacqui built a brand that worked for her life not the other way around.

✔️ The Big Branding Mistake: Why showing up as “corporate” when you’re not (or “casual” when you’re polished) costs you the right clients.

✔️ Templates & Design Hacks: How to stop making Canva look like Canva and start making it work for your business.

✔️ Scaling Up with a Team: Why outsourcing (before you feel ready) is the game-changer for business growth.

💡 If you’ve ever felt like branding is an expensive “nice-to-have,” this episode will change your mind. Just like Jacqui changed Sarah’s mind about it before her rebrand. Your brand isn’t just a logo, it’s how people experience your business before they ever work with you. And if that experience is off? You’re leaving money on the table.

In This Episode:

If you’ve ever stared blankly into the fridge at 6 PM, overwhelmed by the sheer effort of deciding what’s for dinner (even though it's literally stocked with food), you’re feeling the effects of decision fatigue.

As women running businesses and households, we’re making hundreds of decisions before we even sit down at our desks. No wonder by the afternoon, we start opting for the easiest, safest choices, not always the best ones.

👉 In this episode, I break down:

✅ Why decision fatigue is killing your productivity and profits

✅ How your brain burns out like a muscle (and what to do about it)

✅ Practical ways to reduce decision overload so you can focus on what actually moves the needle

Because when you’re drained, you’re not making high-quality decisions—you’re making the “I just need this to be over” decisions. And over time? That’s what keeps you stuck.

Here’s the deal: too many of us are caught in a cycle of selling, delivering, then scrambling back to sell again — all while hoping the universe sends us some steady revenue. 🙏 But hope is not a strategy! Consistency, systems, and a clear, proactive plan? That’s where the magic happens! 🌟

Behind the Scenes: Our New Moxie HQ 🏝️

Oh, and by the way, we’ve been making some big moves—literally! 🌍 We've settled into our new long-term base in Thailand, where the beaches are quieter, the food is to-die-for, and the life lessons just keep rolling in. I’ve realized that I'm a master at chasing goals but not so great at basking in the afterglow. So, we're slowing down, staying put, and leaning into life right here, right now. 🧘‍♀️

Why You Need to Listen:

Are you constantly hustling, moving from one project to the next, never pausing to breathe, let alone enjoy? 😰 You're not alone. I’ve lived that life, built that business—and it nearly broke me. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted, this episode is your wake-up call.

Sarah's Top Tips to Banish Overwhelm:

1. Get It Out of Your Head: My friend, we’re not meant to carry it all up there. Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and start downloading all those thoughts, tasks, and worries. Trust me, it’s magic. ✍️
2. Highlight What Really Matters: Not everything on your list is do-or-die. Prioritize what truly needs your attention—like feeding the kids or, you know, keeping the business afloat.
3. Reduce Choices, Simplify Decisions: The more choices, the more overwhelm. Set rituals and routines that minimize the number of decisions you need to make every day.

Why It Matters Now:

We're heading into the end-of-year frenzy, where expectations mount, deadlines loom, and overwhelm creeps in like an unwanted guest. If you’re a mum, a business owner, or just a woman who wears too many hats (aren’t we all?), you need this episode to help you navigate the madness with grace and grit. 🎩💪

Stay Moxie,

Sarah 🌺

Learning to Ride a Scooter 🛵

Living on Koh Lanta, Thailand, I conquered my fear of riding a scooter! From walking everywhere to cruising on a 125cc scooter, I’m reclaiming my independence.

Seeing the World Through My Daughter’s Eyes 👁️👁️

Exploring Thailand with Scarlett has been a joy, reminding me of the beauty in new experiences and seeing the world through our children’s eyes.

The Stark Reality of Microplastics 🏝️

A beach cleanup revealed the devastating impact of microplastics. As business owners, we have a role in shaping a sustainable future for our planet and our kids.

Navigating Perimenopause 🔥

Ladies, if you’re 35-55, you might be facing perimenopause like me. Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and disrupted sleep hit me hard, but understanding them and finding the right support has been life-changing.

The Importance of Hormone Health 🩺

I pushed for the right medical advice and found Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to be a game-changer. It’s crucial to advocate for yourself and get the support you need.

Returning to My True Self 💪

Within days of starting HRT, my clarity, motivation, and confidence returned. If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone and there are solutions.

Takeaways 🌟

1. Listen to Your Body: Trust your instincts and get informed.
2. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to push for the medical help you need.
3. Prioritize Self-Care: You’re the biggest asset to your business. Ensure you’re getting enough sleep, hydration, and proper nutrition.
4. Join a Supportive Community: Surround yourself with women who understand and uplift each other.----more----

Sarah has left not just the building but the whole country and is coming to you from an island in Thailand. No, it didn’t magically happen. It’s a full circle moment back to where Jonny and I met that came out of the deliberate processes we use in our business and life.

Location Freedom: Living the Dream

Seven years ago, Jonny and I decided we wanted more than just financial freedom—we wanted the ability to work from anywhere. After a lot of planning and a few detours (thanks, 2020), we’re finally doing it. We renovated our house, listed it on Airbnb, and now we’re in Thailand, embracing homeschooling, unschooling, and world schooling for Scarlett.

Business as Usual—But Better

Despite the move, our business keeps running smoothly. I’m still here for my clients, recording podcasts and planning in-person events when we’re back in New Zealand. Jonny’s managing the cruises with an onboard and onshore team handling the day-to-day, giving us the freedom we’ve always wanted.

Embracing Change and Overcoming Challenges

This journey hasn’t been easy. From Scarlett adjusting to a suitcase life to saying goodbye to my Gran, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges. These experiences reminded us that significant changes always come with obstacles, but they’re worth it.

Key Learnings from Our Journey

1. Embrace the Obstacles: Challenges will always pop up. They test your commitment to your goals.
2. Exercise for Mental Health: My mental health is closely tied to physical activity. Even during chaos, find time to move. It’s crucial.
3. Create a Productive Environment: Your workspace matters. Make sure it’s set up to help you stay productive and separate work from personal life.

The Importance of Knowing Your Numbers

You can’t “feel” your numbers—they’re facts. Understanding them is essential for your business success.

1. Use a Framework: We recommend Profit First for its clear, structured approach. It helps you see exactly what’s going on with your money.
2. Know Your Costs: Understand direct costs (what each unit costs to make) and indirect costs (expenses you have regardless of sales). This clarity helps in setting the right prices and boosting profitability.
3. Review Regularly: Regularly check your numbers and make small adjustments. Incremental changes can significantly improve your bottom line.

Action Steps:

1. Read Profit First: Get a copy of Mike Michalowicz’s book or Profit First for Tradies by Katie Criswell Marshall if you’re in New Zealand or Australia. It’s a must-read.
2. Ask Questions: Find a trusted advisor who can explain your numbers in plain English. No question is too dumb—understanding is key.
3. Romance Your Numbers: Make reviewing your numbers a habit. Create a comfortable environment, get your favourite coffee and treat, and dive into your financials regularly.

Episode Summary:

After seven years in business, I realized traditional business plans were useless for me. No one asked how my life fit into the plan. It took my five-year-old on Christmas Day to make me see this. I want you to act before someone you love has to push you.

Here's what Chapter 14 covers:

• Vision First: Focus on what really matters to you. Ignore society, friends, and social media. What lights you up? Build your life around that. 🔥
• Align Your Business: Make sure your business serves your life. Whether you want a small, flexible business or a big one with a team, it should fit your priorities. 🏆
• The Power Hour: Use your weekly Power Hour to make clear decisions and stick to them. Let your calendar guide you. 🗓️
• Set Boundaries: Communicate clear boundaries in work and life. People will respect the lines you draw once you make them known. 🚧
• Minimize Interruptions: Turn off distractions. Digital notifications and real-world interruptions—create time blocks for focused work. 📵
• Just Start: Don't wait for perfection. Get started, aim for progress, and adjust as needed. Close enough is good enough. 💪
•  Accept Help: Embrace support. Lean into the discomfort of accepting help and watch great things happen. 🤝----more----

 Key Takeaways from Chapter 12:

1. Aim for 80%

Perfection is a myth. If you hit 80% of your planned tasks, you’re doing great. I used to aim for 100% and only hit 50%. Be realistic about what you can achieve. You’re not superwoman.

2. Be Honest with Your Time

Stop lying to yourself about how long things take. You can’t make a 30-minute school run in 15 minutes. Schedule the actual time you need, not the fantasy version.

3. Commit to 90 Days

Planning takes practice. Give it 90 days to figure out what works for you. Adjust your plan as you go. Maybe you need to plan two weeks at a time or a whole month. Find what fits your life and business.

4. Allocate Firefighting Time

Things will pop up. Set blocks of time for handling unexpected issues. My husband, a volunteer firefighter, does this. He sets aside time each week for potential call-outs. Do the same for your business fires.

5. Embrace Spontaneity

Being organized doesn’t mean you can’t have fun. Use your plan to see where you can take a break. Pick the kids up early and go on an adventure. Make deliberate choices to prioritize family time.

 🌟 Special Message from Sarah

Chapter One: Introduction

 In this chapter, I describe my story of overwork and its toll on my life. I used to think that sacrificing everything now would lead to freedom later. But that “someday” never came. I built my business for freedom, but it became a ball and chain. Like many of you, I got stuck in a cycle of overwork and missed moments with my family.

 Key Points:

- The Myth of Hard Work: Working harder isn’t always the answer. It’s about working smarter and finding balance.

- The Turning Point: Realizing that hard work alone won’t get you where you want to be.

- The Shift: Moving from burnout to a balanced life that values business success and personal well-being.

 My Journey:

- From Dreams to Burnout: I wanted the freedom of running my own business, but instead, I found myself overworked and exhausted.

- Major Life Lessons: From taking over my parents' business to running multiple ventures and experiencing the impact of the GFC, I learned what works and what doesn’t.

- A Wake-Up Call: My daughter’s simple request on Christmas Day made me realise the true cost of my choices. This moment led to big changes in how I approached my business and life.

Can you relate to this looming question: why does everything in business and life take longer and feel harder than we expected?

Episode Highlights

You Are Not Alone: Feeling like things are taking forever? You’re not crazy. It’s normal. Business, like life, often demands more time, effort, and resilience than we initially thought.

The Full Picture: We rarely see the entire journey behind someone’s success. When we’re only shown the highlights, it’s easy to forget the hard work and setbacks. Let’s explore why it feels so tough and what we can do about it.

Life Happens: From global events like pandemics to personal health issues, life always throws curveballs. It's important to remember that these challenges are part of the journey and do not reflect your capabilities.

The Unknowns: When we start, there’s so much we don’t know. This lack of knowledge can make tasks seem easy but then feel insurmountable. But as we gain experience, we become better at estimating and tackling these challenges.

Playing an Unusual Game: Running a business is not the norm for most people. The pressure and expectations can feel overwhelming, especially when those around you don’t understand your journey. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals is crucial.

Comparison Trap: Each journey is unique. Comparing yourself to others can lead to frustration and self-doubt. Focus on your path, your milestones, and your goals.

Key Takeaways

1. Get Clear on Your Vision: Define what you want your business and life to look like. Write it down and keep that vision front and center.
2. Find Your Tribe: Surround yourself with people who understand your journey. They can be a source of motivation and accountability.
3. Take Consistent Action: Break down your goals into weekly tasks. Consistent, small steps lead to significant progress over time.
