The Life by Design Business Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

So many business owners are already deep in their 2026 planning.

Mapping things out. Setting big financial goals. Trying to create the perfect plan that will finally make it work. 

And yet, this is the exact point where I see people unknowingly slow themselves down.

In this episode of Life by Design, I'm sharing a perspective that comes from 30 years of entrepreneurship, building and scaling four companies, and a decade of coaching business owners at every stage of growth to sky rocket their sales.

It was a recent client conversation, combined with something I heard from a very well known entrepreneur, that made me realise just how many people are putting unnecessary pressure on themselves when it comes to planning ahead and often getting it wrong.

If you've ever felt like you need a bigger plan, a more detailed strategy, or everything mapped out perfectly before you can hit your next income level, this episode will make you think differently.

This is not about throwing structure out of the window.

And it's definitely not about winging it.

It's about understanding what actually moves the needle, and creates results.

Whether you're working towards your first six figure year or on your way to multiple six figures, this episode will give you permission to breathe, and approach 2026 with a very different mindset.

If you've been feeling disconnected from your content, holding back when you go to talk about your offers or noticing that pitching suddenly feels awkward, this episode is going to feel like you've finally exhaled.

Because what I'm sharing today is something every business owner bumps up against no matter how established they are, how long they've been in business or how confident they look online.

Most people assume they just need better content, a new hook, more consistency, or a fresh idea.

But the real block sits underneath the surface, and it directly affects how you show up online, how you speak about your work and how confidently you promote your offers.

When this one piece shifts your message becomes clearer, selling feels more natural and showing up feels fun.

This is the needle mover your 2026 results depend on.

 

Inside the episode, I'm sharing:

 • why I see my clients who are even the most experienced of business owners hit this block

 • what I see with my clients is  really happening when your content feels flat or unclear

 • how subconscious beliefs quietly derail your messaging

 

If you want to feel more confident talking about your work and promoting your offers in 2026 to have your best year yet, this episode is for you.

Press play and let this be the shift that changes how you show up and sell in 2026.

Most people think the reason they're not hitting their goals is because they need another strategy, a different offer, or more time. But after almost 10 years of coaching, I've noticed a psychological pattern shift that lays beneath all of my clients results. 

Every single client who has gone from struggling with sales or stuck at an income ceiling… to creating fully booked calendars and 10–20k months… has experienced this one key pattern shift.

And it's probably not what you think.

In this episode of Life by Design, I'm revealing the one shift that unlocks everything else—more confidence, more consistent action, more income, and more freedom.

Here's what I share inside:

• Why your brain is wired to keep you safe, not successful, what this means—and how to work with it instead of against it
• The difference between "self-sabotage" and self-preservation (and why reframing this changes everything)
• The exact mindset shift that helps my clients finally raise their rates, show up more visibly, and take the actions that get results
• Real client stories—like going from £2.5k months to consistent £10–12k months, fully booking group programmes, and stacking recurring revenue
• How to quieten the inner voice that keeps you small so you can confidently step into your next level

If you've ever thought:
 "Why do I keep holding myself back when I know what I need to do?"
 "Why can't I just take action consistently?"
 "What's stopping me from breaking through this income ceiling?"

…then this episode is for you.

Because once you make this one shift, the strategy you already know starts to work.

In this episode, I'm talking about how you can move on and get over any investments into your business that you have perhaps regretted. I'll share with you how I've learned not to make myself wrong for these experiences, and how to move forward and get amazing results in my business.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

- My first investment into coaching and what I've learned from it

- Understanding that the common denominator in all of your experiences is you

- How to take responsibility for your investment decisions and show up to do the mindset work

- How to look at things from the lens of love towards yourself and being kind to yourself

- Nurturing the growth mindset, and asking yourself the questions that can push you forward in your business

I truly believe that where focus goes, energy flows. If we're making ourselves wrong for something, then all the energy is going towards that negative. But if we choose to look at ourselves through the lens of love and kindness, then it could be used elsewhere to grow our business, and to start creating the results we want to see in our life and in our business.

Today, I'm going to talk about taking action in your business messily, and why it is important to give yourself permission to make mistakes and do things in a way that you enjoy doing them in order to make huge progress in your business.

What You Will Learn In This Episode:

- Why comparing yourself to others will slow you down

- Being aligned with your action is more important than being perfect

- The benefits of making mistakes for your learning process

- How to give yourself the permission to be human and take action messily

- How to set boundaries with your clients and still remain open to constant improvement

 

I truly believe that the results come quickest when we are in total alignment with what we do, because that's when things start to feel easier in our business. The more you take action messily, and the more you allow yourself to create, you are going to feel more joy, and that means that you are going to get results much faster.
