🇺🇸 We’re taking the podcast on the road!
We’re travelling around America as a family for the next two months and trying a whole new format while we’re away.
Tell us in the comments: what do you want to see from us while we’re travelling? Behind the scenes, business, marriage, family, travel chaos? Let us know.
Now, about this episode...
Last year was one of our biggest years in business.
It was also fucking exhausting.
The business was growing, the opportunities were coming, but the way we were operating was no longer sustainable. So Hamish and I made a decision that felt completely counterintuitive:
We slowed everything down.
And it changed the way we run our business.
In this episode, you'll learn:
• How to spot the bottlenecks keeping your business dependent on YOU
• Why slowing down can actually help you scale faster
• How better systems can give you back your time and energy
• What I had to change as a leader to trust my team and let go
If your business is growing but you’re exhausted, doing too much or constantly thinking “it’s just easier if I do it myself”, this one is for you.
Sometimes the next level isn’t doing more. It’s building a better way to do it.

How the Right Circle of Women Can Change Your Life (with Neda Hovaizi)
Season 1 · Episode 520
Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 30:29
Have you ever looked around at the women in your life and wondered why you feel like you have to make yourself smaller to belong?
My gorgeous friend Neda Hovaizi knows that feeling.
Before she created Fab Fierce Females, Neda was an ambitious woman with huge ideas who found herself feeling misunderstood by the women around her. She started questioning herself. Then the invitations stopped coming.
Eventually, she realised something:
She wasn't the problem. She was in the wrong circle.
Instead of waiting for the women she admired to invite her to their table, Neda decided to invite them to hers.
That decision eventually grew into Fab Fierce Females, FFFCon and a community of women who don't feel threatened by another woman's ambition, they fan each other's flames.
🎟️ JOIN ME AT FFFCON 2026 IN BOSTON
I’m heading back to Boston to speak at FFFCon 2026, happening September 25–26 at the Hyatt Regency Cambridge.
Come spend two incredible days with us surrounded by ambitious women, powerful conversations, leadership, connection and community.

In this episode:
• what it feels like to outgrow friendships and realise you need a different circle
• how Neda built three businesses by following the ideas she couldn't ignore
• why being surrounded by women who aren't intimidated by your greatness matters
• the deeper story of family, grief and legacy behind the work Neda is building
We also get into something I LOVE about Neda: she doesn't wait until she has the entire roadmap before she moves.
From opening her own dental practice just one year after dental school, to launching a med spa, building Fab Fierce Females and confronting her fear of public speaking, Neda's story is such a beautiful example of what can happen when you trust the vision enough to figure the rest out along the way.
If you’ve been questioning whether you’re too ambitious, too driven or simply too much for the people around you, maybe the answer isn’t to become less of yourself.
Maybe you need a different fucking room.

How to Create a Life You’re Actually Excited to Live
Season 1 · Episode 519
Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 19:51
I am so fucking excited about my life right now.
And I don’t say that because everything is perfect.
I say it because I know what it feels like to experience loss, grief, trauma and moments where you genuinely don’t know how you’re going to find your way through.
Those experiences taught me something I wish I could somehow transfer directly to you:
Your life is precious, and it is happening right now.
Not when you have more money. Not when your business grows. Not when you find the relationship. Not when the kids get older. Not when you finally feel confident enough.
Right now.
In this episode, I want to talk about the areas of our lives where we’ve accepted stagnation, unhappiness or “this is just how it is”, and what happens when you decide you’re no longer willing to live that way.
In this episode:
• what feeling stagnant can reveal about what you actually want
• why your hardest seasons can become the beginning of an expansion
• how I’ve learned to turn fear into excitement when I’m doing scary things
• why creating a life you love ultimately becomes your responsibility
Maybe you’ve outgrown the person you used to be.
Maybe the relationship, career, business, friendship or life that once fit you doesn’t anymore.
That doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong.
Maybe you’re expanding.
You are here. You are breathing. There are still things you want to experience, people you want to love, places you want to go and dreams you want to chase.
Go fucking live.

Why Women Get Overlooked at Work (And How to Change It)
Season 1 · Episode 518
Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 16:21
You can be brilliant, hardworking and incredibly capable, and still find yourself being overlooked.
But what if the problem isn't only what's happening around you?
After speaking at a women in tech event, I left thinking about how many incredible women are frustrated that they're not being heard, recognised or given the opportunities they deserve, while also struggling to speak up, set boundaries, advocate for themselves and communicate what they actually want.
There are absolutely barriers women face in workplaces and leadership.
But this episode is about the part we have the power to change.
I'm talking about radical responsibility, the stories we carry about ourselves and how those beliefs can quietly influence the way we show up, lead and allow other people to treat us.
In this episode:
• why working harder isn't always what gets you recognised
• how your internal narrative can follow you into every room
• what changes when you start advocating for yourself and your career
• why confidence and self-trust are essential for women who want to lead
If you're waiting for someone else to notice how capable you are, recognise your contribution or finally give you the opportunity you've been hoping for, this episode might challenge you to look somewhere different.
At yourself.
Because when you stop outsourcing your power, everything changes.

How Bad Bunny Brought Puerto Ricans Together in Australia
Season 1 · Episode 517
Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 41:26
When Bad Bunny announced his Australian tour, we thought we were just going to a concert.
We had no idea it would change everything.
What started as two Puerto Rican women trying to find their people became a growing community of Puerto Ricans and Dominicans across Australia. From WhatsApp groups and concerts to parties, new friendships and families finally finding each other, this episode is about creating community instead of waiting for it.
This isn't just a concert recap.
It's a conversation about belonging, identity, culture, courage, and finally finding home on the other side of the world.
In this episode, we talk about:
• how Bad Bunny's tour unexpectedly united Puerto Ricans across Australia
• what happened when we realised there were far more of us than we imagined
• why community doesn't happen by accident
• what this experience taught us about belonging and connection
Whether you're Puerto Rican, Latino, living overseas, or searching for your people, this is a reminder that sometimes one person willing to bring people together can change everything.
🎥 WATCH THE FIRST EPISODE
Before this community came together, Yadi and I sat down to talk about Puerto Rican identity, diaspora, cultural grief, and what it means to carry your roots while building a life in Australia:

Fear Can Become Your Greatest Teacher
Season 1 · Episode 516
Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 14:50
I had someone ask me recently:
"What are you actually scared of?"
And it made me realise something...
I'm scared all the time.
Not because I'm doing something wrong.
Because I'm constantly building, creating and stepping into bigger rooms.
In this episode, I share why fear has become one of my greatest teachers, how I've stopped seeing it as something to avoid, and why the opportunities you're dreaming about are almost always hiding on the other side of uncertainty.
If you've been waiting to feel confident before making your next move, this conversation is exactly what you need.
In this episode:
• why confidence doesn't come before courage
• how to use fear as fuel instead of letting it stop you
• why uncertainty is part of creating anything meaningful
• the mindset shift that helps you focus on possibility instead of worst-case scenarios
You don't need to eliminate fear.
You simply need to stop believing it means you shouldn't go for it.

I Broke a Generational Pattern With My Son
Season 1 · Episode 515
Monday, July 27, 2026 • Duration 19:05
Last night, something happened with my son that I'll never forget.
What started as tears over something seemingly small turned into one of the most healing moments I've ever experienced as a mother.
Not just for him.
For me.
As someone who grew up with trauma, I realised in that moment I wasn't just parenting my son. I was re-parenting the little girl inside of me who never had someone help her process her emotions.
It reminded me that every therapy session, every difficult conversation, every tear, every breakthrough and every piece of healing work I've done over the years wasn't just changing my life.
It was changing the way my children experience theirs.
If you're a parent, or you're doing the work to heal from your own childhood, I hope this episode reminds you that your healing matters more than you know.
In this episode:
• the emotional moment that completely shifted the way I saw my own healing
• why regulating your nervous system is one of the greatest gifts you can give your children
• how breaking generational patterns happens in everyday parenting moments
• the lesson that left me crying in the shower with gratitude
If this episode resonated with you, send it to another parent who needs this reminder.

How to Build an Audacious Personal Brand (Even If You're Scared to Be Seen)
Season 1 · Episode 514
Monday, July 20, 2026 • Duration 21:57
You don't build a powerful personal brand by waiting until you feel confident.
You build it by being audacious enough to show up while you're still scared.
In this episode, I'm sharing why audacity, not confidence, is the real reason some people create incredible opportunities while everyone else stays stuck waiting to feel ready.
If you've been holding yourself back because you're worried about what people think, you're second-guessing yourself, or you're waiting for the "perfect" time, this conversation is for you.
Your personal brand isn't built by playing it safe.
It's built one brave decision at a time.
We talk about:
why audacity is the real foundation of a powerful personal brand
how to become magnetic by showing up before you feel ready
what it actually feels like to build confidence in real time
why your biggest opportunities are waiting on the other side of courage

Season 1 · Episode 512
Monday, July 6, 2026 • Duration 27:39
Have you ever looked at someone online and wondered why they're so much further ahead than you?
In this episode, Erika shares why comparison is one of the fastest ways to destroy your confidence and why most of us are comparing completely different lives without even realising it.
From age and motherhood to money, support systems and life experience, there are countless factors we never see behind someone's success. Yet we compare ourselves anyway.
This conversation is a reminder to stop measuring your life against someone else's timeline and start focusing on building your own.
We talk about:
why comparison without context is keeping you stuck
the hidden factors you're forgetting every time you compare yourself
how social media distorts success and fuels self-doubt
practical ways to come back to your own lane and rebuild confidence
If you've been feeling behind lately, this episode will help you see yourself, and your journey, differently.
