Spoiler alert - I’m going to be saying pivot a lot in this podcast episode, so let’s clear up the elephant in the room!
If youd have asked me a few weeks ago I would’ve said pivoting was the scariest thing you could ever do in your business.
Now I have a different perspective - I can safely say that pivoting can be the best possible thing to happen to you - when it’s needed. And that last part is what we’re going to talk about today.
In this episode, I’m going to walk you through 6 signs it’s time for a pivot and because we all love tangible action steps, what to actually do about each one - a small and specific area for you to focus on.
I’m very much in the weeds with my pivot at the moment and what I’ve realised so far is that yes, pivoting can bring you a lot of challenges and self-doubt.
But it also brings a lot of certainty.
Making the decision to pivot is one of the hardest things to do, because you’re the only one who can really make it.
And it’s my job today to guide you in making that decision!
We’re going to cover:
-
What to do when your current business doesn’t align with your life (and what alignment actually means)
-
How a shift in your identity can encourage you to make a pivot
-
Why you aren’t getting anywhere by craving clairty (and what to do instead)
-
How to get your creative spark back with your work
-
What to do when your ideal client changes
-
How to manage when you’re forced to pivot for reasons outside of your control
This is a juicy episode so get ready to make notes!
Keep bossing it,

264: I haven't been honest with you: A pivot like no other
33m · PublishedI have always been so open about sharing how much my business has changed since having kids.
But I haven’t been fully honest with you this year.
And what I’ve realised over the last few weeks?
If I carry on the way I am, there’s only one way it will go.
So because of that, something needs to change.
Not only a complete business restructure and rebrand (!) - but also in my approach thinking.
The big mistake I made is this:
What has been driving everything for me has been “what will bring in money and what do I think my audience wants/needs?”
Vs “What do I feel so called to share? Where do my passions lie? What’s my mission and my legacy? What can I help people with and why am I the person to help them with that?”
This is what my next level looks like.
No more creating offers just because that’s what other coaches in the space are doing.
No more talking about certain content topics because it’s what a business coach does.
I am not your average business coach and I never have been.
And the truth is - I have not been honouring my business in the way it deserves and that all changes now.
A new era of ABOH is evolving.
Do I know all the specifics yet? No, but I’ll be bringing you along for the ride.
And in this episode, you’re hearing it all first.
I’m sharing the specifics of how I’ve been feeling, what I’ve been craving in my business (that I haven’t shared yet), plus what I’ve done so far to navigate through this.
This is your permission slip if you need one.
Let me know what you think!

What would you do with an extra 10 hours a week in your business?
Boss - I’m about to make that a reality.
In this episode, I’m going to share 10 ways you can actually get 10 hours back in your work week.
These are things that have helped myself and my clients, and now they’ll help you to become less overwhelmed, to be more productive and to get more time back in your business, so you can spend your time how you want to be spending your time, rather than your business running your life.
And full transparency - that used to be me. I used to work more than 60 hours in my business each week. I wasn’t getting done everything that I wanted to get done and I didn’t feel like I was creating momentum or achieving any of my goals because I was always putting out fires. I just felt like I was keeping my head above water with the day-to-day tasks that needed doing each week.
Now, I’ve changed all of that so I’ll skip the story and get into how you can create these productivity systems for yourself.
Get ready to take notes!
Keep #bossingit,

Do you have a deep knowing that you’re meant for more? Maybe you know it’s time to expand your capacity or that you’re bumping into an upper limit right now.
I’m going to talk to you about what all that means and use my own experience to share the 3 biggest things I shifted, so you can get some inspiration and advice for what you can do to start to expand your capacity so that you can grow, get out of that plateau and avoid burnout.
We will chat through:
-
What my plateau looked like when I first started my business
-
The biggest places where I see all business owners get stuck (and what to do if this happens to you)
-
Why it’s so powerful to pause (and why so many of us don’t do this)
-
The importance of connecting with yourself and understanding what your brain is doing
-
Why you need to prioritise discomfort every single day
-
How I changed my identity as a coach to help me deliver even better results for my clients
I came at this episode from a different perspective than I originally anticipated so I hope this resonates with you!

Spoiler alert: if you view everything as important, then nothing is actually important.
Let that sink in.
If you view everything as important then you are actually deciding that nothing is important.
So it goes without saying that if you are viewing everything as a priority then you are actually deciding that nothing is a priority.
So what do you do when you feel like everything IS a priority and you just can’t figure out what is REALLY important?
Tune into this episode to learn how to shift your mindset, identify what is really important and start living a life that is more in alignment with your priorities.
We will chat through:
-
A couple of definitions that are super important for our understanding of this topic
-
My favourite analogy that I love to use when I teach about prioritising
-
A refresher of the 5 keys of being the boss of your life and which ones you need to do before you define your priorities
-
The 4 steps I use to help me define my priorities for the season I’m in
-
A very simple exercise to help you prioritise when you have a lot of big projects going on
I loved recording this so I hope you love it too!

Why do successful people quit their businesses? Perplexing, right?
In this episode, we are going to talk about the paradox of successful people quitting, why it happens, and what to do if you ever face this in your business.
I will walk you through a conversation that I had with my client which inspired this episode, as well as elements of my own story (so this will be a bit of a vulnerable share!)
We will chat through:
-
What circumstances led to my client experiencing this
-
My experience with fear and shame in my own business and how it led to me wanting to burn everything down
-
What happens when shame is in the drivers seat trying to run our business
-
How I would coach you through other options/routes to go down if you were my client
If you resonate with this, I really hope it gives you the clarity you’re looking for!
Let’s dive in.
