A Golden Success with Lisa Macale – Details, episodes & analysis

This episode is all about the framework I’ve created for success in 2025—and while it’s not a proven formula (I literally put it together over the weekend!), I’m confident it will help me navigate one of the biggest decisions I’ve faced in my business yet.

I’m sharing the challenges I’ve had to overcome, my dilemma about pricing and growth for the Golden Brands membership, and why I’ve ultimately chosen to focus on growing our community to 300+ members in 2025.

Plus, I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts and strategies that form my framework for reaching this BIG goal. From narrowing my focus to acting like my future self and prioritising aligned actions, this episode is packed with insights that you can apply to your own goals, too.

Let’s make 2025 the year we stop playing small and step fully into what’s possible!

With just two weeks to go before our very first Golden Brands conference, I’m pulling back the curtain on everything — the real costs, the unexpected challenges, and what I would do differently if I had to start over.

In this episode, I share why I decided to plan this event in the first place, how we ended up with a budget of nearly $46,000, and the hard truth about the break-even point (hint: it’s not as glamorous as it sounds).

I also dive into the behind-the-scenes chaos — from speakers dropping out to goodie bag drama — and how it’s all shaping up to be even better than I could have imagined. If you’re curious about what it really takes to pull off an event like this, or just want a peek into the journey of turning a vision into reality, this episode is for you!

In today’s episode, I’m diving into a topic that I don’t think is talked about enough—what it truly means to be both a successful business owner and a mum. Recently, I was watching a TikTok where a small business owner mentioned feeling like there’s a gap in the narrative. She pointed out that we don’t hear enough women openly discussing the sacrifices that come with balancing motherhood and business. That really hit home for me.

I’m sharing my own journey today—from selling my wedding planning business after my first child, to starting Socialiesd and Golden Brands while raising young kids. It hasn’t been easy. I’ve faced emotional and physical challenges, feelings of guilt, and the constant juggle of wanting to be present with my children while also working hard to grow my business.

If you’re a mum in business, I hope this episode gives you some space to reflect on how you’re managing the balance, what’s kept you going during the tough times, and how to keep moving forward toward the life you’re building for yourself and your family.

There has been one thing that has been consistent for me across all four of the businesses that I've owned and it has had a massive impact on my business growth - INSTAGRAM.

Although I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram, it has been so incredibly valuable for me to reach new clients, generate leads and to grow a community.

My business wouldn't be what it is today without it.

In this episode I'm sharing some of the key ways I've used Instagram over the years and how these strategies have now helped me with growing Golden Brands through the platform.

If you are feeling stuck in business and that things aren't progressing as you'd hoped  - then this episode is for you!

We dive into the 'gap' period of business. That season of business where you feel like nothing is working and you need to commit to upskilling and personal growth in order to move your business into that next stage.

It is a tough period of business to be in but one no doubt that we will all face at some point.

I hope my experience and insights help to make this 'gap' or 'inbetween' period of business a bit more bearable!

You've got this!

(also apologies a few minutes in to this podcast I had an issue with the audio so I do hope that isn't too noticeable for the second half of this episode!)

You’re probably listening to this episode because you enjoy podcasts but have you really considered how you can utilise podcasts to grow your own business? 

In this episode I’m going to share some advice I have for those who might be keen to start their own podcast and also for those of you who have zero interest in doing your own podcast but you can see the value in getting featured on other peoples podcasts (honestly I think this is something every single business owner should be exploring). 

As one of my friends put it the other day, podcasts are the new blogs.
