If you’re growing a coaching, healing or soulful consultancy business right now and feeling like you’re pushing sh^t uphill, you’re not alone.

September 13, 2022 20:00 - 26 minutes - 35.9 MB

In the interest of truth-telling, it's high time that this commonly perpetuated myth gets busted once and for all. The Momentum Myth- the myth that once we find momentum in our business that we stay in it. Sorry to burst that bubble if you were hoping that the holy grail of momentum is only just around the corner but the truth is, when we are in momentum we don't necessarily stay in full flight forevermore.

This one has been brewing in me for some time but it has to be said.... growing an audience right now isn't easy! Facebook groups don't get the traction they used to and even though they're a great way to grow your reach, even Reels aren't as effective as they were in 2021. Starting from ground zero is a long game.

Yep! That old chestnut!  It's hard to believe that this conversation still does the rounds given that email has been proven time and time again to be the highest converting form of digital marketing.

Making the leap from a traditional professional to a soul-led business owner in the eyes of many is quite the fall from grace.

March 15, 2022 20:00 - 33 minutes - 31 MB

Have you ever been told to get clear on your vision and then been left wondering why and how?  I know that's how I felt right at the beginning of my personal development journey.

Hell No!  I had proven by that stage that I was already a master manifester, having manifested many wonderful things ...

March 24, 2021 01:01 - 12 minutes - 11.9 MB

There is often resistance towards niching down. I’ll put my hand up and say that I had a serious case of FOND…. FEAR OF NICHING DOWN! Fear of being put in a box Fear of making a declaration Fear of commitment Fear that if you don't talk to everyone that you won’t get enough clients (#helloscarcitystory!)
