End of year review: one of the most challenging but rewarding years of my business
Launch Like a CreatorShow Notes
In this final episode of the year, I’m sitting down to reflect on what has been one of the most challenging and rewarding years of my business so far. I share the highs, the lows, and the lessons I’m taking into next year - from navigating a big confidence wobble and a scary pivot, to rebuilding trust in myself, finding my creative spark again, and ending the year feeling genuinely proud of what I’ve built. This episode is a proper end-of-year pause while I shared: Why Service was my word of the year, and how it shaped how I showed up
What this year actually felt like behind the scenes
The highlights, including starting the podcast, creative content joy, audience growth, launches, brand collabs, and experimenting with ads
The tougher moments, including confidence wobbles, a challenging launch, and navigating personal stuff alongside business
The biggest lessons I’m carrying into next year, around time, creativity, hype building, and self-trust
If you’re closing out the year feeling reflective, a bit emotional, or quietly proud of how far you’ve come, I think you’ll really enjoy this one. Thank you so much for listening this year - I’ll be back in mid-January with new episodes and a look ahead to 2026.
Don't forget you can still join my January sprint, Light Up Your Movement before the doors close on Jan 9th.

If you’re anything like me, or pretty much every client I’ve ever worked with, I bet at one stage, you’ve said the words “I think I’m just attracting the wrong people”. We’re taught that as long as we get the numbers, we can make the sales. As long as you can get x amount of people on your waitlist, or 10k followers, or however many leads - as long as you have eyes on your content, you’ll be able to hit your revenue goals. But UNFORTUNATELY it’s not always as simple as that, and if you're a business owner looking to grow and scale, you've likely come across this issue too. In this episode I share the four things to focus on to start attracting more ready to buy, action taking people into your audience with your content.
There's a massive difference from trying to get views and go viral on Instagram, vs content that creates demand for you and your work. In this episode, we're chatting about the magic combo of:
Growing an audience on your Instagram or other socials is often focused on how to get the most views, or how to go as viral as possible. And getting views is great, but what we reaaally love is content that builds your audience AND gets you the opportunities and business growth that you want.
We all know that growing a following online doesn't necessarily mean making the money you want to make - but WHY is that? What is it that makes some people with a relatively small audiences make way more sales than some people with huge audiences?
Being consistent with content is one thing, but what about posting content that gets you the opportunities you want? Whether it's getting a book deal, working with brands, growing your community or getting more sales, we need to reverse engineer your content world to bring these goals to life.
