Welcome back to the first episode for 2026.

This episode I am touching on a few things around 2025 - what went well and what I am focussing on for 2026.

Then I want to dive into the biggest thing I want everyone in business to get better with in 2026 - cashflow.

A few years ago, I was in so much financial stress that I couldn't pay my tax obligations. I'd left a toxic relationship, I was focused on keeping my kids housed and fed, and my business just wasn't making enough.

For two years, I couldn't pay my BAS. The ATO debt piled up. And the shame and stress of it was crushing.

I engaged a business coach to help me learn how to manage my cashflow better. Learning cashflow forecasting changed everything. Not just my business - my entire life.

In this episode, I'm getting really vulnerable about my financial struggles and sharing the exact system that helped me take back control. I also talk about what I'm leaving behind in 2026 - comparison, guilt, people's expectations, the pressure to do it all, overcommitting, the idea of being busy, self-doubt, and perfectionism.

We dive into:

• My personal story of financial stress and ATO debt
• Why cashflow forecasting is a game-changer
• What needs to change from 2025 to 2026
• The things we ALL need to leave behind this year

If you've ever felt financially overwhelmed in your business, or like you're just surviving instead of thriving, this episode is for you.

You could have the best offer, the most incredible transformation, and all the expertise in the world, but if nobody knows you exist, your business won't grow.

In this episode, I'm getting really honest about visibility and why it's absolutely non-negotiable if you want to build a successful business. I share my personal journey from taking 100 takes (yes, really!) on my first TikTok videos to now being comfortable creating content in one or two takes.

We dive into:

• Why invisibility is killing your business growth
• What visibility actually means (hint: it's more than just social media)
• The real reason you're avoiding being visible
• How to practice showing up even when it feels terrifying
• Why marketing IS the work, not something you do "when you have time"
• What happens when you commit to being visible for 90 days

If you've been hiding behind the scenes of your business because showing your face feels scary, this episode is for you. The fear doesn't go away - you just get better at doing it scared.

Let me guess - you're on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, AND Pinterest because someone told you that you need to be everywhere to grow your business. And now you're spending hours creating content, feeling burnt out, and still not getting the clients you want.

Here's the truth: being on every platform is actually hurting your business more than helping it.

In this episode, I'm showing you exactly how to choose the ONE platform that will actually bring you clients, so you can stop spreading yourself thin and start seeing real results.

We dive into:

• Why trying to be everywhere is killing your business growth
• The 4 critical questions to ask before choosing your platform
• An honest breakdown of what each platform is actually good for in 2025
• The 90-day commitment that changes everything
• The biggest mistake service providers make on social media
• How to treat social media like a conversation, not a billboard

If you're a coach, consultant, VA, designer, or any service-based business owner feeling overwhelmed by social media, this episode will give you clarity and a clear action plan.
