Why do so many adults stop having fun?

Especially the ones running businesses. It’s so easy to get obsessed and absorbed in the work. There’s always a to do list. And the downtime goes to family, which matters, but when did we stop making time for ourselves? Time to actually have fun?

That’s what gives you the energy. That’s what lights you up. That’s what keeps you creative and feels you alive.

Since moving to Dubai I’ve upped the ante on this. I make sure I have fun as often as I can, even when I’m doing business.

There’s four of us, four business women, and we take turns each week planning something fun. We’ve done wakeboarding. Horse riding. Kayaking. This week it was my turn and I organised GellyBall & shooting target practise.

I was sweating, running about, heart racing with anticipation for who was round every corner. We cried laughing. I even did a roly poly 🤣 I honestly felt 10 again.

After the fun, we sit down and talk about what we’re facing in our businesses. The challenges. The goals we’re working towards. Everything is accepted. We help solve the problems, normalise the stuff nobody says out loud, and push each other to go after the massive goals that most people wouldn’t understand.

It’s become like therapy.

This is what I’m passionate about building. Whether it’s the people I consult to or the rooms I create for people to walk into and feel normal, have fun, offload, and still work towards the big goals. Rooms where your ideas get reflected back to you as “that’s so exciting ..let’s dissect it, let’s make it happen.” Not rooms where you feel like you need to shrink to fit.

If this resonates and you want to know more about the groups I’m building or how we can work together drop me a message.

I get it. Problems exist. Challenges exist. Times where you wonder if things are going to work out. Failure.

Nobody knows that better than I do. I’m not ignorant to the fact that people face problems in their life and in their business. If you lived my life in the last 10 or even last 2 years you would be shocked at what I’ve navigated.

I didn’t cover it up. I chose not to share it & personally, I choose to be optimistic as best I can.

Because if I spend all my time being optimistic, I will never regret it. If I spend all my time worrying and focusing on problems, I know I will.

That’s my attitude now. And it’s exactly what attracts the right people into my life. The right friends. The right business associates. The right clients. The right opportunities.

That’s just how I choose to do it. Built from my own circumstances, my own learnings.

The same way some people’s negative mindset puts me off, my optimism puts other people off. We’re all different. I’m not doing it the right way I’m doing it my way.

For me, it just works.

I dealt with a problem this morning that would’ve kept most people awake during the night.

I got up & handled it.
Was it uncomfortable? Yes!
Would I rather not do it? Yes!

But I faced it, put it to bed & was extremely calm whilst doing so.

I’m not special or immune to these things. But I’ve done the work. Years of it. I’ve dealt with my own stuff, faced the things I’d rather avoid, and built a version of myself that’s bigger than most problems.

Everyone wants the result. Not many people are willing to focus on self development or invest in themselves to get closer.

The thing about problems is they don’t stop coming. Ever. It’s whether you’re bigger than them when you do.

Most people avoid instead. They avoid the hard conversation. They avoid investing in themselves. They avoid committing. They avoid putting themselves out there. They avoid the thing that scares them.
Then they wonder why the bigger results never show up on the other side.

Same thing happens with time. Expecting easier times, more suitable times, the PERFECT time where they feel ready, organised. It doesn’t exist! People expect their business to just evolve. To naturally get easier. It won’t. Time doesn’t collapse on its own.
You collapse it by saying yes. By doing the thing instead of telling everyone you’re going to do the thing and then not doing it.
That’s it. That’s the whole game.

If you’re still “getting round” to doing something don’t be surprised if the universe is matching that exact frequency with the results you want in your life & business.

It didn’t exist. So we built it.

We were fed up going to “high level network events”..nodding along. Fed up getting sold to. Fed up meeting people who are “in business” but happy coasting, making excuses, telling themselves the same negative story on repeat 🫠

We’re three women who’ve invested hundreds of thousands into ourselves, made millions, and did it broken, afraid, and terrified.. said yes anyway, and decided to build something that didn’t exist yet.

This isn’t just an event. It’s a movement.

We believe women who want more should be celebrated, not silenced. This is permission to be the boldest, highest version of yourself. To appreciate your flaws and still know you’re s**t hot.

Half fluffy. Half strategy.

That’s my whole approach to building businesses and building the life you actually want.

Energetics, identity, the deep vibrational work. Then the strategy. The decisions. The market. The ideal client. The exact ways your business can make more money.

Most people skip the first half. They think it’s not relevant. They go straight for the numbers and the marketing plan and wonder why nothing sticks.

Here’s what I know from building two seven figure businesses from the ground up. The identity work isn’t the soft part. It’s the part that makes everything else work.

You can have the perfect strategy and still stay stuck if you haven’t done the inner work first. I’ve seen it over and over.

This is the part that lights me up more than anything.

September is already such an exciting time for me. I’m planning events, building out my property portfolio, leaning in to new business partnerships & holding space for the clients I already have. But I always make room for more.

If you want an opportunity to work with me in September, drop me a DM and let’s talk.

It’s been a week!

The 3 of us in this picture have navigated things this week that would stop most people in their tracks.

Business continued, meetings were done, s**t got handled.

This is not about ignoring our bodies, gaslighting ourselves, pretending we’re fine & saying we have it all figured out because there’s a flip side to this.

We have said no to things that we know we can’t hold this week. We’ve stopped to have moments of self care. I can’t speak for these 2 powerhouses but for me there’s been a few tears.

I know I speak for all of us when I say that our businesses are sometimes the thing that helps us most.

It’s a distraction from the personal challenges. It’s the thing that puts a smile on our face when other things can’t. It’s our reminder that we are stronger than we think & more capable than we sometimes believe.

It’s our place where we feel better by helping others .. so whilst we prioritise ourselves.. we also use our businesses to lean on.

There’s no right or wrong way to navigate the tough times but something we’ve spoken a lot about is you can be sad & happy at the same time. You can inspire others & feel like you don’t have it all figured out. You can be an absolute boss & still need support.

That’s what growth looks like. Things co-existing, not one cancelling the other out & leading from the front.

This is just one of the things we’re covering at our event “Business Unhinged” For the rebels that give a f**k!

We’re normalising this, sharing stories, upgrading your identity, giving you experiences from some of the best in the industry that will take your breath away (quite literally)

You will walk out of this room completely different. Life & business won’t be the same.

This is the event we were craving. It doesn’t exist .. so we built it!

DM me UNHINGED to grab your ticket!

How you show up and who you surround yourself with is everything!

I’ve got to a point where I find it easy to say no, I find it easy to say that’s not what I want, I find it easy to walk away from people who don’t feel aligned.

I make room for magic..
I make room for the biggest opportunities..
I make room for the right people..

I refuse to settle for average in any aspect! Life is too short and my goals are fu***ng massive!!!

My mum took Ryley out today to get his school uniform & new trainers.

While they were out, I was on the sofa with Stephen, talking through ideas for one of our businesses.

Then Ryley came flying through the door. My mum had treated him to two pairs of trainers instead of one.. A pair for school, one for going out. He needed us to see both. Immediately 🤣

Then came the fashion show. Full school uniform, modelled from every angle, followed by an update on how his shoulders are starting to show definition from the gym.

Me, Stephen, my mum, the dogs on the sofa, coffee in hand, watching a thirteen year old get excited about his 2 pairs of trainers, going back to school & his hard work in the gym starting to pay off.

That’s it. That’s the whole story.
But in that moment. I saw what a Monday looked like for me.

Horse riding this morning. A PT session. Feet in the pool while I checked in with clients. Then.. My son bursting through the door, and me being present.

Not thinking about my inbox. Not needing to rush off to “get back to it.”

I didn’t build a business so I could work every hour God sends. I built it so I could be in the room for the fashion show 🤣

So I could actually feel my mum laughing instead of half hearing it while I finish an email.

So a random Monday could become a core memory instead of a blur.

I want to ask you something, because I think this is the bit that actually matters.
Have you built that?
Not “are you successful.” Not “is the business growing.” I mean, can you stop. Mid afternoon. On a Monday. And just be there. Fully. Without your stomach in knots about what’s waiting for you.

Because so many people I work with have built businesses that make money but never gave them their life back. The revenue’s there. The freedom isn’t. They’re still the bottleneck. Still can’t switch off. Still missing the fashion shows because they’re “just finishing something.”

That’s not what this was ever supposed to be.
The goal was never just money. It was moments like this one. It was space. It was presence.

If you’re building something right now, ask yourself who you’re building it for, and whether it’s actually giving you your life back yet.
