Show Notes
In today’s episode, I’m coming to you live from Japan, literally hiding under a doona in a hotel room in Osaka, to bring you a full life update, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and the huge personal shift that’s shaping my business, priorities and plans for 2026.
I share the full story of finding out I’m pregnant, navigating the first trimester while running a business, how it’s completely changed my boundaries and capacity, and why I’m more intentional than ever about the way I operate. We dive into body changes, mindset shifts, relationships, travel, and the reality of being a founder while growing a tiny human.
You’ll also hear how I’m preparing for business through pregnancy, the standards I’m holding for myself (and clients), and why motherhood does not mean losing your ambition, your revenue, or your identity.
Plus, if you’re ready to map out a real, tangible plan for a $200K revenue year in 2026, I’m running a free live workshop on December 3rd at 12pm AEST. This session will break down pricing, capacity, client journey, offer structure, and the exact levers you need to shift to realistically hit 200K. If you’re listening later, you can still access the replay inside the free community.
Inside this episode: • How I actually found out I was pregnant (the full story, tests and all) • What the first trimester was really like while running a business • Boundaries, energy, capacity and how pregnancy changed how I lead • Business planning for 2026 with a baby on the way • Why pregnancy doesn’t have to limit your revenue or growth • Japan travel updates, routines, emotions and real-time reflections • A reminder that you get to choose what motherhood + business look like
Perfect for: women in business, founders navigating capacity, anyone preparing for a big revenue year, new or expecting mums balancing entrepreneurship, or anyone who wants a raw, honest behind-the-scenes episode.

How do you build a personal brand that actually stands out, without manufacturing a personality or copying everyone else in your industry? In this episode, I sat down with Tayla Bubeck to talk about personal branding, authenticity, content, influence and what it really takes to build a business around who you are. After building a seven figure business, Tayla shares why conventional markers of success stopped feeling fulfilling, how she realised she had lost sight of her own values, and what changed when she stopped trying to build her business the way she thought she was “supposed” to. Tayla’s advice is simple: the things you assume are irrelevant to your business, your taste, interests, opinions and quirks, can be exactly what gives people a reason to remember and connect with you.
