Redundancy isn’t the end. It might be your best Redundancy isn’t the end.
It might be your best beginning.

It shakes your identity, your finances, your future - even when you see it coming.

I’ve lived it. And here’s what I know:

I’m no longer building my life around a job I could lose overnight.

Redundancy is no longer rare - it’s reality.

But it can also be the push you need to take back control.

That’s when I started my coaching business - on the side, while still in my 9–5.

No perfect plan. Just a decision to back myself.

If you’re at a crossroads right now, remember:
Your skills, your value, and your potential?
Still fully intact.

A side hustle isn’t just income.
It’s options. It’s leverage. It’s yours.
You don’t need 10K followers to start.
You don’t need to have the perfect niche.
And you don’t need to spend hours creating a sales funnel before you’ve even talked to a real person.

What you do need is a clear offer…
A real and painful problem you know how to solve…
A real person that needs what you offer...
And the courage to start.

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down the 5 biggest lies that keep side hustlers stuck (and what actually works when you’re starting a coaching business alongside your 9–5).

I used to think my skills were “just part of the I used to think my skills were “just part of the job” and that what came easy to me wasn’t valuable enough to build a business around.

But turns out, that’s exactly what made it valuable, because what feels obvious to you is exactly what someone else is struggling with.

If you’ve ever wondered if your skills are enough to coach on, or felt like you needed to start from scratch, this will shift the way you see what you already know.

In this week’s episode, I’m sharing how to turn your existing strengths, lived experience, and corporate expertise into a premium coaching offer

- Without burning out
- Without quitting your job
- And without another qualification

The truth is... no one ever feels 100% ready when The truth is... no one ever feels 100% ready when they start.
Confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you build by showing up again and again.

You don’t need another certification to be valuable.
You need to trust the lessons you’ve lived, the obstacles you’ve overcome, and the perspective only you can bring.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing how to stop waiting for permission and start stepping into your next chapter now. Even if you feel messy. Even if you feel scared.

When I first started building my side coaching bus When I first started building my side coaching business, I wasn’t trying to hit six figures.

I just wanted to make five figures doing something I loved.

Something that gave me income options, and prove that I can do this entrepreneur thing.

Something that didn’t ask me to choose between my career and my family.

And honestly? That goal changed everything.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m sharing exactly why $5K/month is such a powerful milestone, while you’re building your business alongside a full-time job.

No complicated funnels. No pressure to go “all in.”
Just a simple, clear strategy that works. Even if you only have a few hours a week.

You don’t want a side project. You want a real b You don’t want a side project.
You want a real business that gives you options.

One that lets you be there for your kids, live on your terms, and allows you to have options and one day gives you the freedom.

In this week’s podcast episode, I’m talking about the moment I realised my career alone wasn’t going to build the kind of wealth I wanted, and what I decided to do about it.

When I first thought about starting a coaching bus When I first thought about starting a coaching business and leaving my fitness business, I didn’t know where to begin.

I had the passion.
I had the experience.
But turning that into a real offer that actually helped someone?
That felt impossible at the time.

The truth is, most new coaches don’t get stuck because they’re unqualified.
They get stuck because no one teaches them where to start.

If you’re sitting in front of a blank page wondering what to offer, who to help, or how to turn your idea into something real, I have a special podcast episode for you.

I walk you through how to define your niche, get clear on your transformation, and validate your offer (without spending months second-guessing yourself).

You don’t need a perfect brand to begin.
You just need to take the first step.
