Welcome to this episode of the Online Entrepreneur Academy Podcast! Today I’m joined by the brilliant Nadege Minois, a solopreneur, scientist, and project management expert who supports small businesses in turning big ideas into real, finished projects.

With over two decades of international experience, Nadege brings both technical know-how and practical wisdom to the table. In this conversation, we explore the common pitfalls small businesses, in particular, face when managing projects. How to avoid chasing too many ideas, and what it takes to go from “great idea in the shower” to a finished, valuable outcome in your business. Yes, it takes planning!

We also talk about the difference between being busy and being effective, how to create systems that actually suit your working style, and why tree hugging in the Californian wilderness made it onto her dream business retreat list!

Whether you’re juggling a dozen projects or wondering where to start, this is an episode full of calm, clarity and helpful insights.

In this episode, I’m joined once more by Dr Rebecca Williams, retired GP with nearly 25 years of experience in the Scottish Borders, and the founder of Williams Stress Management. Rebecca works with individuals and organisations to reduce the impact of stress on health, life, and work with science-backed strategies and real-world wisdom.

Through workshops, webinars, and 1-to-1 sessions, Rebecca offers personalised, practical support rooted in both her medical background and a deep understanding of the human side of stress.

In our second conversation, she shares why stress isn’t a sign of weakness — it’s a biological response that can be better understood, managed, and even used to spark change.

We also explore:

• The signs many people miss when stress is building up
• How employers can create a culture of care — not crisis response
• Why small changes, done consistently, build long-term resilience

💬 Please note: No individual medical advice is given in this episode. This conversation is for general information and awareness purposes only.

Dr Williams speaks with clarity, kindness, and authority — the kind that only comes from years of helping people through both personal and professional storms.

This is a must-listen for anyone wanting to better understand stress and take back some control.

I wholeheartedly thank Dr Williams for coming back to the podcast to share insight to this very important topic.

My own take away: Stress is real and important to understand.

This is the first in our new Midweek Mini series – shorter episodes with returning guests sharing honest insights and updates from the entrepreneurial front line.

In this bite-sized chat, I’m joined again by Kate Bodrova, co-founder of Amazy UK – a platform supporting educators to build, share, and track interactive learning content.

We talk about:

• The reality of starting a business in a new country
• Cultural challenges (and how AI helps decode politeness!)
• Why progress often takes years – and that’s okay
• Kate’s no-nonsense advice for anyone thinking about starting up

Real talk, real encouragement – and a YouTube deep-dive is on the way soon.
