Be honest, are you where you thought you'd be at this point in life? If not, you are not alone. So many of us dream of a different life, yet here we are again, dreading waking up and going to that job that we hate, knowing that it's not what we're meant to be doing but not knowing how to break free. Are those 6 figure business owners drinking margs on the beach while cashing checks just lucky? How did they get to that point? Donna Brodbeck, one of those successful 6 figure boss babes, says that it is FAR from luck. Donna, my awesome business coach, shares with us her journey from absolute rock bottom, literally begging God for another chance at life and not to let her die, to where she is today- in a healthy relationship, traveling the world, absolutely loving what she does every day. Tune in to this episode of Slaying Your Side Hustle to hear: -Donna's struggle with imposter syndrome and "comparisonitis" in her first few years of life coaching -How Donna found her first niche in coaching in narcissistic abus

I did something I haven't done in a REALLY long time. And it changed everything for me. I took a WEEK OFF from my business!! I haven't had a holiday for over 12 months, I've noticed that I had been operating very much in my masculine energy; always "doing, doing, doing" and somewhat stuck in "hustle-mode". Although this really moved the needle forward in my business, I found myself feeling scattered, pressured, fatigued and actually feeling like a failure when I wasn't checking off all the million things on the to do list. When I took a week off, it allowed me to step back into my feminine energy, feeling flowy and creative (which is super important and in this episode I share with you why). I've realized the importance of having a BALANCE of feminine and masculine energy in business and I share with you the lessons I've learnt, as well as how you can get more in balance in your life and business. We cover: - What it actually looks like to be too much in masculine energy - Exactly what I did to move more into

What do I need to do from a tax perspective? How do I know if or when my business is legitimate? What taxes are deductible for my online business? What softwares can I use to keep track of my income and expenses? Do I need to register my business with the tax authority? While it's not sexy, these are things you NEED to know for your business, and knowing them can save you a lot of money, time and stress! In this episode of "Slaying Your Side Hustle", my client Susana Targett, who has 16 years of experience in the bookkeeping and accounting industry, breaks down everything we need to know so we can slay our side hustle finances! *Note, this general advice based around Australia taxes and legals BUT (don't leave just yet....) listeners and other countries can still BENEFIT by knowing what to look into within their own countries!

Can introverts succeed in this extrovert-driven business world? There are so many things we struggle with when first starting out our side hustles, but as an INFJ I'm living proof that it's totally doable to have a successful side hustle, and I want to share the lessons I've learned along the way! This is an episode from where I was a guest on "The Quiet Ones Podcast" with Sarah Kuhn, to discuss how to start your own business or side hustle as a natural introvert (INFJ to be specific). If you don't know what "INFJ" means, it is the rarest personality type based on the popular "Myers-Briggs" personality test. You can find out your own type here!: https://www.truity.com/test/type-finder-personality-test-new In this episode, we discuss: How INFJ's (and really anyone) can overcome that initial fear of putting yourself "out there" when starting your online business. The harsh criticism I received when I first announced that I was a "Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach" and how I grew from this. How to just get STAR

In this episode I chat with Rachael Ami about the mindset for those working online, how to adjust to the grind, and the beauty of being your own boss. We start off by talking about the "5 different types of human design" and how to use your type to maximize your productivity. Rachael then discusses her background and how she made use of her childhood and skills to leverage her online coaching business. Then we delve into how the mindset can completely change the perspective of a situation and how that can turn from a mediocre to a powerful tool when growing yourself professionally and personally. Both Rachael and I link these values to ourselves and our pasts, and we talk about how we, and others, can always improve who we are no matter where we are in life and how working online has helped us become the best versions of ourselves we could be.
