Tried to create my "digital twin"… and ended up with three hands, a colour-changing top, and a scarf that developed a mind of its own 😂

AI in small business? Still needs a few tweaks.

We all make mistakes... Most of the time, we aren't purposefully videoing ourselves though eh?

Today's "best blooper", ahead of this afternoon's YouTube video release!

Still - the fact that this is captured means that I'm showing up with intention in my plan! How are you showing up?

One of my clients said to me yesterday "I care that I can make money on days when I don't want to get out of bed"

Do you want that? The strategy & systems so you can have a midday nap?

Let's talk.

Is it just me or did it suddenly get way too hot? 🥵

Heat is totally my kryptonite—my brain taps out above 25°C. Today’s all about low-effort cut & paste work.

No deep thinking happening here. What’s your low-power brain mode look like? #womeninbusiness

Success? Love her.
But sometimes she shows up like a high-maintenance diva who wrecks your flat and calls it empowerment. 😤

💡 Stress isn’t a competition. It’s a call to recalibrate.

Want to find out where your stress is really coming from?

👇 Take the quiz to discover your Imposter Syndrome pattern—and what to do about it.

My personal philosophy is "Stoic"

Epictetus said “It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it.”

It's not repressing our emotions, it's feeling them fully yet not getting caught up in the spiral

Take the Quiz and understand your spiral

#StoicWisdom
An illustrated graphic features a central woman dressed in a plain white top and black trousers, standing still and facing forward with a slightly unsure expression. Her appearance is simple and unadorned, symbolising authenticity or vulnerability. Surrounding her on both sides are "The Security Six" - women dressed in matching police-style uniforms, complete with peaked caps, blue shirts, black ties, and dark striped trousers. They stand in a formation reminiscent of guards or enforcers, all facing forward but slightly turned outward of the central figure. Their postures are upright and formal, conveying authority, judgement, or internalised pressure. The contrasting visual of the central woman and the surrounding uniformed figures creates a powerful metaphor for the mental or emotional policing of oneself, representing imposter syndrome, perfectionism, and societal expectations.

We clear out our homes—but what about our mindset? 🧹

💭 The “I’m not ready” thoughts.
💭 The “Who am I to do this?” whispers.
💭 The old stories that keep us playing small.

It’s time to declutter self-doubt. DM me to join my WhatsApp community, let’s do this together. 💜

#SpringCleaning #Confidence
A middle-aged woman sits at a sunlit wooden table in a bright, airy room, gently smiling as she sorts through a box filled with papers and documents. She appears calm and reflective, dressed in a light blouse that complements the peaceful, natural tones of the space. Her softly greying hair and faint smile lines suggest experience and warmth. Around her are signs of spring and renewal—lush green houseplants, fresh pink flowers, and sunlight streaming through large windows that fill the room with golden light. A white enamel mug sits nearby, and the clean, organised space evokes a sense of clarity, ease, and fresh beginnings. Subtle hints of blue, pink, and purple are woven into small accents like book covers or soft furnishings. The overall atmosphere reflects a metaphor for mental decluttering, inviting feelings of empowerment, simplicity, and the emotional relief that comes with letting go of old, limiting beliefs.

IWD may be over, but the fight for equity, safety, and progress is far from won. Too many brilliant women still hesitate, second-guess, and shrink back.

Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you build.

A group of five women are seated in a modern, well-lit conference or networking space, engaged in a friendly and supportive conversation. They are dressed in business casual attire, holding coffee cups and notepads, suggesting a professional yet relaxed discussion. The background shows other women networking near large windows, allowing natural light to flood the space, reinforcing the theme of connection and collaboration. At the top of the image, The WIBCC Logo - a stylized logo featuring a feminine profile with flowing purple and pink hair surrounded by celestial elements, such as stars and leaves, adds a touch of branding and symbolism, representing empowerment, self-growth, and unity. The top and bottom edges of the image have a soft, ethereal gradient with light swirls and sparkles, enhancing the uplifting and inspiring atmosphere. The overall visual conveys a sense of community, confidence, and encouragement among women in business #IWD2024 #WomenInBusiness #Confidence #SecuritySix #ImposterSyndrome #OwnYourWorth

#EmotionalIntelligence
A realistic yet slightly artistic square graphic capturing the experience of imposter syndrome in a professional but friendly setting. The image features a woman sitting at a meeting table in a modern office, her body language showing self-doubt—perhaps slightly hunched shoulders, hands clasped together, or a thoughtful, uncertain expression—while the others around the table appear confident and engaged in discussion with open and welcoming body language. A soft blue light subtly highlights the woman, visually reinforcing her introspection and hesitation. The rest of the room is bathed in warm, golden sunlight tones, symbolizing a friendly and supportive environment rather than pressure or intimidation. The people around her are open, engaged, and welcoming, creating a feeling of inclusion. The composition balances the emotional contrast of imposter syndrome with the warmth of support, visually reinforcing the message of overcoming self-doubt through confidence and community.

Ever felt like no matter how much you do, it’s never enough?

😵‍💫 That’s Imposter Syndrome talking. I used to live in that space—until I realised not everything needed doing (or needed doing by me).

#WomenInBusiness
A realistic-style square graphic depicting the impact of imposter syndrome in business. The image features a thoughtful woman in a home office setting, sitting at her desk with a contemplative yet slightly hesitant expression, symbolizing self-doubt and second-guessing. The environment is professional yet warm, with subtle details reflecting deep thought—perhaps a notebook open with notes, a computer screen with unfinished work, or a paused hand over a keyboard. In the background, soft, flowing colour gradients subtly blend, representing the balance between emotional intelligence and the hidden struggles of imposter syndrome. The composition evokes introspection, capability, and the emotional push-and-pull of self-doubt and confidence.
