I am someone with a lot to say about the school system and how it is ruining our educators and creating a generation of anxious teenagers.
This week, after presenting to a room full of year 11 students, I needed to get something off my chest.
Focusing on what we DO for a living in life, is the wrong thing to focus on.
Focusing on passing the exams and getting the grades to DO a particular role is the wrong thing to focus on.
Knowing that we want a change, but agonizing over what we want to change to, is the wrong thing to focus on.
We need to start asking ourselves better quality questions:
👉 who do we want to be?
👉 how do we want to feel?
👉 what lifestyle do we want to live?
👉 what do we want to be able to achieve?
👉 how much do we need to earn?
👉 how much time are we prepared to invest in order to earn it?
I have discovered that is doesn't matter WHAT I do... it doesn't matter HOW I earn money... it is what that money allows me to do, how that activity makes me feel, what lifestyle I am able to live...
...how I can fulfil my purpose... THAT is what is important.
THAT should be our focus.
I'd love to know what you loved about this discussion and if exploring a new way of earning money is something you're curious to learn more about, be sure to DM me via the link below for access to my private Facebook Group - "FIRED UP & FREE"

As a coach, promoting the need to build a business that meets the needs of your life, rather than taking over it; to admit that I was burnt out and over it was MASSIVE.
I felt like the biggest fraud and honestly, I just wanted the world to swallow me up never to be seen again.
I thought about hiding away, coming off socials and going back to full time work - and for a short period, I was really f#$king tempted...
But something inside kept calling to me.
I couldn't just turn my back on what I can feel in my heart.
I KNOW I am here to inspire.
I KNOW I am here to lead a movement of FIRED UP parents sick to death of the hum-drum monotony of everyday life.
I KNOW there is more available to each and everyone of us who are brave enough to take the steps and make it happen.
I'm here for that.
I'll ALWAYS be here for that.
I just needed to find a different vehicle through which to make it happen!!
🔥💦🔥💦🔥💦🔥💦🔥💦🔥💦
In this first episode back after a whopping 8 months, I'm sharing my story of burnt out and over it and how I managed to pull myself out of the biggest funk I have found myself in to date, to now be feeling FIRED UP and ready to lead a new charge!
This show is here to inspire
This show is here to empower
And this show is here to enable you to believe that ACTUALLY I CAN - you can achieve anything that you want and we're gonna do it together
So if you're with me, lean in
👉 Share what you love on your socials and be sure to tag me in the process
👉 Send it to someone who needs to hear it
👉 Reach out to grab a copy of my "Get you fire back" eBook

When you enter a destination into Google, it gives you directions o the best way of getting there based on where you are now. If Google didn't KNOW where you were starting from, it WOULD NOT be able to calculate the route.
The same is true of our goals.
If we do not know where we are RIGHT NOW, there is no way in hell that we are going to be able to figure out how to reach our goals... however much we might say we want them.
In this episode, I walk you through a really simple, yet effective exercise that I have just redone for myself. It is one of the key tools I reached into my coaching toolkit for, to get me out of my funk, because it's so much easier to plan a route, when we know where we're starting from!!

When we decide to go into business for ourselves, it can be super exciting and we can spend our time setting up all the fun stuff, giving little attention to the “boring” “behind the scenes” stuff like policies & procedures, employment contracts and service agreements. Not only is it less fun to think about, but it can also be an expense we don’t want to incur right at the get go.
My guest this week talks us through some of the reasons why we should remove our heads from the sand and face up to some of these things; sharing stories from her own business journey and her experience over her career as a lawyer.
Georgina Ryan is a mum, business owner and lawyer at Regional Business Law in Wagga Wagga, NSW. She is passionate about rural Australia and helping her clients grow their business, by guiding them through all the necessary regulatory red-tape.
Through this conversation we chat about::
👉 the importance of having service agreements in place
👉 how the right documents can actually make our business more valuable
👉 how to determine the correct business structure for us
👉 the need for open, honest, and confronting conversations
👉 how to maintain effective working relationships, and heaps more!

Let’s face it, analysing our numbers is not usually something high on the priority list for a lot of entrepreneurs!! In fact the very thought of doing so may fill you with dread and deep rooted anxiety?!
But here’s the thing. Money is the lifeblood of our business and I am passionate about education and empowerment in this space, because when we have our finances under control, EVERYTHING else will just click into place.
When I meet like-minded people, I geek out on the conversation, and my guest this week is one of those epic souls. Sara Verheyen is the owner of Mareish Books, a bookkeeping and CFO services company where she helps entrepreneurs embrace the numbers side of their business.
She lives in Texas with her husband and two kids and in this conversation, we chat about how we can feel less intimidated by our numbers and learn to use them to make better decisions in our business.

In the online world it is really easy to find stack loads of information on how to improve our weaknesses and get better that things, but my guest this week believes we are looking at things all wrong.
Perhaps we’re not supposed to be masters of it all?
What if, instead, the real key is to hone in on our strengths?

Anne is a Leadership Coach, Facilitator and Speaker who works with individuals and organisations to empower courageous leaders.
Throughout her 10 year career as an award-winning leader in the Engineering industry, she has learned first-hand what it takes to be a courageous leader.

Through her work, Anne equips individuals with the key leadership skills needed to build their courage, confidence and resilience, embrace vulnerability, learn impactful communication strategies and create space for open and trusted relationships and nurture the individual strengths of others.

I am sure we have all been in situations where someone near and dear to us has said something that has impacted how we feel about our business? Perhaps they have burst our bubble, perhaps they have questioned our latest idea, or sown a seed of doubt in our minds by a stray comment…
This week on the show, I am chatting with relationship expert Leeza Marie about how we can ensure we have healthy relationships with the people around us, so as to retain, not drain our energy!
We chat about the importance of taking responsibility, creating healthy boundaries and how repeated arguments can offer us feedback into what we’re not always willing to admit.

Tired of the traditional way of doing things, lawyers Rhys Bower and business partner Nick Wood decided to break the status quo and create a legal firm they are proud to be at the helm of.
This conversation is a great mix of pro-tips and real-life stories, where Rhys and I chat about the importance of creating a business we love, that aligns with what’s important and fits into our family life.
Rhys also talks about how building networks with the right people can be incredibly valuable no matter where on the business journey we are and shares some practical information on what legal professionals can do to support small business.
Rhys’s legal career has been a varied one. He represented the federal and state governments while working as a lawyer for top tier firm Clayton Utz; lectured in law at the Australian National University; ran a youth focused community legal centre; was an editor of the Federal Law Review and has been published in a legal academic journal.
He and his young family, then moved to regional NSW where he has been practising as a solicitor since 2012.

When mum of 3, Jane, saw a need for gorgeous, quality children’s footwear that didn’t break the bank, she had an “insane” idea (her words) and Millwoods shoes was born!
Being regionally based in Wagga Wagga NSW, Jane worked tirelessly to deliver an online shopping experience that took the guesswork out of kids shoe sizing and it wasn't long before mums also began to crave the same style and comfort as their kids!
Jane answered the call by heading back to the design board to bring to life a women's range of stylish, fashion forward and ultra-comfortable shoes. Perfect for all occasions - the mum on her feet, a casual catch up or elevated office wear, Millwoods shoes have become a timeless and versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Building a brand and a business with no shoe design, or even retail experience, while raising a young family might be a daunting prospect to some and Jane has herself, described her choices as insanity at times; but with a strong enough WHY and a “give it a crack” attitude, Jane has made it work.
In this conversation, we chat about her journey and the very real conversations she has had to have with herself, her partner and her accountant along the way!!!

We don’t go into business intending to fail, yet the very thought of doing so can keep us awake at night and add a mountain of stress to our lives. My guest this week has made a career out of working with “failing” businesses, supporting them to either turn things around, or move on to the next chapter in the entrepreneurial journey.
He comes with a scary title - Registered Liquidator – but Tony Lane is so much more than that!
With a career spanning over 30 years, Tony has established a knowledge bank of business and commercial experience that is hugely valuable to anyone prepared to listen. He prides himself on focusing on the people behind the business, because the scars of business dreams not working out, can last long after the creditors have been dealt with.
In this conversation, Tony talks to us about simple things we can do to set us up with solid foundations and demystifies what business failure even means.
A father, husband, business analyst, academic, entrepreneur and self-confessed under-achiever, Tony takes the complex and turns it into simple, digestible takeaway messages that won’t leave you checking for your wallet or purse.

There are always two things that can be true. We can be an overwhelmed, burnt-out mess; or we can be on the verge of something magnificent. We can feel guilt we’re not spending enough time with our kids; or we can feel pride that we’re being the example of forging our own path. We can play the victim; or we can play the victor.
Everyday, in everything that we do, we have a choice. And the choices we make, affect the energy we give off, which ultimately impacts the abundance we feel in our life and business.
This week I am bringing back a familiar face to the show, Melissa Judd, to dive into this, so we can discover how to better manage ourselves, to positively influence the bottom line of our business, without burning ourselves out in the process.
Mel is the founder of Integra Healing Co. She is a qualified Life Coach, Cognitive Behavioural Coach (CBT), Solution-based Counsellor and Trauma Practitioner who works one-on-one with clients to identify and eliminate behaviours and attitudes that are holding them back from becoming the best version of themselves.
As someone with a history of depression, anxiety and disordered eating, Mel is passionate about helping people, particularly teenage girls, overcome their inner struggles, leading them to live their most fulfilled and content lives.
She knows firsthand that life isn’t perfect and that even when you know all the theory, you still have bad days, you still make poor choices, and you still stuff up. That is what makes us human.

As a mum of young children, it can be easy to think that once the kids are older, we will have more time “for us” and our business dreams, but my guest this week knows this is a complete fallacy.
Emma Lagerlow is a life coach, blogger and founder of Mummaste. She supports mums who are raising tweens and teens to overcome overwhelm and reclaim their sense of self; and is passionate about reminding mums to prioritise self-care, so they grow their self-love and create a more fulfilling life in the midst of the chaos that occurs in family life with older kids.
In this very real conversation we talk about the importance of making the decision to do “the thing” we want to do NOW and not let the age of our kids dictate our life. We talk about the impact of those decisions on family finances and our relationship with our partner; the importance of knowing what we want to share with the world and how we can help control the tornado of emotions that comes from growing a business and raising a family at the same time.

We can reach a point in our career where money is suddenly not the biggest driver or marker of success. My guest this week has taken the plunge to leave a secure HR career and go ALL IN on her dream business, and she shares all the ups and downs that come with a decision like that with a hubby and kids to consider…
Michelle is an Authorised Marriage Celebrant at Love Michelle Boyd, who doesn’t do things by halves! She started her business in the wedding industry in what can only be described as the worst timing ever – AKA – COVID; but has pushed through the emotional and financial ups and downs to go all in on something she loves.
Her corporate background is in HR, and Michelle also settles her creative urges through public speaking and community theatre. She's a self-professed dreamer and pinches herself with how lucky she is, making a living from sharing her gift of the gab and being there to share the special moments in the lives of her clients.
A mother of 4 young adult children, and step mum to another, plus 3 grandkids, her life is full and interesting, and she wouldn't have it any other way!

Welcome back to season 3 of the Real-Life Business podcast and I wanted to start this season with a very important question – what do I give a shit about?
I’m having so many conversations lately with people who are feeling uninspired, unenthused, lacking motivation, craving simplicity, craving change, craving energy and excitement; that I thought this a good place to start.
👉 It is normal to go through ebbs and flows in business.
👉 It is normal to have some things that we love to do, and others that require us to dig a little deeper into our reserves to find the energy to do it
…however, if we find we are constantly feeling drained at the end of each day and are starting to resent our businesses, then it is time for a very real, raw and honest check in!
Grab a pen and paper to jot down the journal prompts from today’s episode and give yourself the time to honestly reflect about where it is your business is heading…

This is your sneak peak into season 3!!
⭐ LIVE: Friday 1st April 2022 ⭐
I cannot wait to be back in your ears and this week, I want to give you a sneak peak of what is coming up on the show this season!
If you're new to listening, Real-Life Business is for the busy business mum with a million balls in the air. This show aims to normalise the fact that noone has their shit together 100% of the time and that we all have stuff going on behind the scenes that impacts our business.
Season 3 is going to bring you a blend of 3 types of conversation:
👉 Real-Talk
The much loved Real-Talk conversations are casual, candid, REAL conversations with business mums doing their thang! We talk about the ups, the downs, the challenges, the wins, the conversations, the decisions, the arguments, the celebrations and everything in between. Nothing is off limits and anything goes. Think inspiration, validation and normalisation!!
👉 Pro Tips
This season I am bringing Pro Tips to the show. I have some amazing people in my network and I want to tap into their wisdom to share it with you and support you to find confidence, clarity and calm in your business. We'll be having conversations on finding purpose, managing our money, keeping on top of our bookkeeping, structuring our business, raising finance, marketing, self care and HEAPS more!!
👉 Claire's Take
The mini solo episodes with me are back to, where I share my take, my thoughts and my insight on a variety of different topics...and this is where we're starting this season...
Episode 40 goes live Friday 1st April and I'll be talking about how we can get clear on what we give a shit about!!
If we want to have the energy, the resilience, the inspiration, the confidence in our business, we need to make sure we're doing something we care about. This is a fresh take on how to think about what that looks like and I can't wait to share it with you!
