Have you ever felt stuck following business advice that just doesn't seem to work for you? In this refreshingly honest conversation, marketing veteran Elaine Walsh-McGrath reveals her journey from conventional success to creating a business that truly aligns with her unique circumstances and strengths.

Elaine, who describes herself as a "Formula One marketing mechanic," spent decades working with major brands like L'Oreal, Volkswagen, and Ryanair before life circumstances forced her to reimagine her business. When her daughter was born with Down syndrome and complex needs, her high-powered consultancy became incompatible with her new reality. What followed was years of trying business models that worked brilliantly for others but left her drained and frustrated.

The breakthrough came when Elaine began trusting her own intuition rather than outside advice. By understanding her unique energy patterns and strengths, she made the counterintuitive discovery that doing less actually led to greater business growth. "The more I kept saying simplify to myself, the more I thought, wow, I have created this empire, but maybe it's not serving me and my needs for a business right now," Elaine explains.

This episode goes beyond typical business advice to explore deeper questions about alignment, authentic success, and creating boundaries that honor your whole life. You'll learn why cookie-cutter business formulas often fail, how to recognize when something isn't energetically aligned with you, and why summer might be the perfect time to reassess what's truly working in your business.

Whether you're struggling with burnout, feeling pressured to follow someone else's blueprint for success, or simply seeking a more sustainable approach to business, this conversation offers both permission and practical wisdom to create success on your own terms. Remember: your business, your rules.

What's really holding you back from starting that podcast? Fear of technology? Dislike of your own voice? Or the perennial excuse of "not enough time"? In this candid exploration, I dismantle these common barriers one by one, revealing the simple truths that can set your podcasting journey in motion.

The time commitment for podcasting isn't as daunting as you might think. At roughly three hours per episode, the process can be streamlined through batching and strategic scheduling. You don't need to commit to the weekly publishing grind either, seasonal approaches can be just as effective while fitting into your existing commitments. The question becomes not whether you have time, but whether you can afford not to use podcasting as a tool for audience building and business growth.

That discomfort with your recorded voice? It's nearly universal, but remember: your unique vocal qualities are precisely what some listeners will connect with. The podcasting world thrives on authentic voices representing diverse experiences. And as for technology fears, the only real difference between "techie" people and everyone else is the willingness to experiment and learn from mistakes. Most podcast platforms provide clear, step-by-step instructions that anyone can follow.

What truly matters isn't technical prowess or a perfect voice, but clarity about your purpose and message. Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, technically adept or challenged, your expertise deserves to be shared. The world needs your perspective, and keeping that knowledge to yourself when others could benefit is, as I often tell my clients, "a little bit selfish." Ready to overcome these mindset blocks? Your future audience is waiting and my self-study program (currently available at a special discount USE CODE: SS150) can guide you through every step of the journey. The time to start is now.

Have you ever felt trapped in an endless cycle of reaction, constantly putting out fires, managing an overflowing to-do list, and feeling perpetually behind? What if there was another way to live?

Master coach Jocelyn Herman-Saccio joins us to reveal the transformative power of being "unmessable with" a mindset and practice that allows you to shift from survival mode to creation mode at will. With over 47 years in the transformative space and experience coaching more than 200,000 people, Jocelyn brings profound wisdom to this conversation about designing a life driven by vision rather than circumstance.

The difference between reaction and creation is stark: one leads to burnout and overwhelm, the other to magic and fulfilment. Jocelyn breaks down how most of us get trapped in managing our lives instead of creating them, explaining that it's not external events that mess with us, but our beliefs about how things "should" be. Through powerful examples and practical strategies, she demonstrates how to dismantle limiting beliefs and design life from the future backward rather than from the present forward.

Perhaps most compelling is Jocelyn's personal journey, how she transformed from working 80 hours weekly while dreaming of Paris "someday" to actually living there half the year while working just 10-15 hours weekly and exponentially increasing her income. Her approach isn't about hustling harder but about strengthening your relationship with your word and creating from vision.

Whether you're an entrepreneur feeling imprisoned by your business or simply someone seeking more freedom and fulfilment, this episode offers concrete steps to become unmessable with. Discover how to craft daily practices that keep you grounded in vision, overcome imposter syndrome, and design a life where you're living your dreams rather than eternally chasing them.
