Episode 75: Are you giving yourself enough time?
Ever realised you didn’t allow enough time for something, and then spent the rest of the day, week or month feeling behind, desperately trying to catch up with yourself? This week I’m sharing one simple thing you can do to prevent that from happening. After all, if you don’t allow yourself space to do the things that matter most, how will you ever move forward?
Episode 74: Are you willing to get uncomfortable?
When you work with your natural preferences, it’s so much easier to find ease and flow in your business. But if you’re not careful, holding on too tightly to what’s comfortable can prevent you from moving forward, limiting your growth. Tune into this week’s episode of Unfrazzle to make sure you’re not allowing your preferences to become limitations.
Episode 73: The thing we’ve all done to get organised (and why it doesn’t work)
I didn’t always feel as organised and on it as I do now. Back in the day, I was surrounded by chaos. Frantically juggling a bazillion things, desperately hoping nobody would notice I was drowning.
Listen to this week’s episode of Unfrazzle to find out how that all changed once I realised what was REALLY going on (and figured out what to do about it).
Episode 72: Piles of paper, post-its and panic (aka my past life)
I didn’t always feel as organised and on it as I do now. Back in the day, I was surrounded by chaos. Frantically juggling a bazillion things, desperately hoping nobody would notice I was drowning.
Listen to this week’s episode of Unfrazzle to find out how that all changed once I realised what was REALLY going on (and figured out what to do about it).
Episode 71: Too much to do? Try doing it the other way round
Have you ever felt so utterly overwhelmed by everything you need to do, that you have no idea where to start? That’s what was happening in real-time for the hosts of the Brand Therapy podcast when I was their guest. During our conversation, I shared an approach that provided such immediate relief, that I want to share it with you too. Listen to this week’s episode of Unfrazzle to learn how looking at your to-do list differently can lighten your load and make your tasks more manageable.
Episode 70: Is perfectionism harming your productivity?
As a recovering perfectionist, I know how it feels when fear of getting something wrong or not being good enough stops you in your tracks. And I also know how damaging that can be, not just for the growth of your business, but for your overall feeling of joy. In this week’s episode I share thoughts to help you move beyond perfectionism - including a controversial way to tackle it head on.

Episode 65: Why productivity advice doesn’t work for everyone (and what to do instead)
When it comes to being more productive, everyone seems to have an opinion. Whether it’s telling you to put everything in your calendar, use a fancy spreadsheet to break your projects down into tasks, or find an accountability buddy to check in with at the start and end of every day, once someone finds what works for them they often start telling everyone to do what they do. But ‘standard’ productivity advice doesn’t work for everyone, and in today’s episode of Unfrazzle I explain why that is, and what you can do instead.
Episode 64: Is fear getting in the way of you getting things done?
Do you find yourself abandoning projects part way through, to focus on something else? And do you tell yourself there’s a Very Good Reason why this new project is more important than the old one? In this episode of Unfrazzle I invite you to consider whether it’s actually fear that’s holding you back, and share some insights that I hope will help you move past that fear and back into progress.
Episode 63: Sometimes it’s ok not to be productive
If you’ve been finding it hard to focus lately, this unplanned, off-the-cuff episode is for you. I hope it helps.
Episode 62: It’s ok to be a work in progress
Have you ever had a moment in your business when you were doing what you needed to do when you needed to do it, and the flow of your days felt good? If so, I’m willing to bet that was short lived. Not because you were doing it wrong, or there’s something wrong with you. But because you’re a human being who changes and evolves, and you’re running a business that also changes and evolves. In this week’s episode I invite you to lean into your work-in-progressness.
Episode 61: Productivity is not my passion…or is it?
When I was first thinking about starting my own business, I had no idea where to start. I put so much pressure on myself to build my work around something I was passionate about, it’s a wonder I ever got out of the starting blocks! Listen to this week’s episode where I share my thoughts about passion, purpose and productivity.
Episode 60: The three I’s you need to succeed (and why they can also hold you back)

Episode 57: Is this your productivity nemesis?
If you had to guess, how many times a day do you think you reach for your phone?

Listen to this week’s episode for a reminder of why it’s important to cultivate a more mindful relationship with your phone, and how that will boost your productivity.
