How to Use Social Media as a Tool, Not Your Whole Business

Beautiful overachievers, pull up a chair and get ready for a (probably unpopular) truth that might save you time, energy, and business owner sanity.
I’m coming in with a reality check you need to hear if you're spending hours curating the perfect reel, agonising over hashtags, or tweaking Canva graphics like they’re your ticket to a 6-figure profit.
📣 Social media is the microphone - not the whole damn message.
If your entire strategy is post and pray, you don’t have a business... you’ve got a social media addiction. 
And that strategy? It’s costing you sales, sanity, and precious time with the people who actually matter.
This episode is packed with:
✅ A wake-up call about where your cash is actually coming from (spoiler: it’s probably not your Instagram grid) ✅ Tactical advice on batching content and keeping your scroll time under control ✅ The simple sales moves (like calling actual humans!) that will move the needle faster than any viral reel ✅ The bold reminder that connection - not content - is what makes you money
And of course, I serve it up with a splash of real life: a near-teen with a babysitting gig, a beloved secondhand scooter, and a gratitude jar that's overflowing (literally).
👊 This one’s for the woman building a business around her life - not the other way around.
Nobody ever built a sustainable, freedom-filled business by chasing likes and fiddling with filters all day. 
If you’re serious about hitting that 6-figure profit mark, it’s time to stop solving the wrong damn problems.
💬 Let’s make a deal: After you listen, you're gonna call five people, track where your sales actually come from, and reclaim your time from the social scroll hole. Deal? Deal.
🎧 Listen now and let’s talk real business.

Branding That Sells: How to Create a Business Identity That Attracts & Converts

Welcome back, beautiful overachievers! In this episode of The Moxie Movement, we’re diving deep into branding that works for business owners like YOU. Not just something that looks pretty, but a brand that speaks, sells, and scales with you. And who better to chat about this than the incredible Jacqui Naughton?
Jacqui is a graphic designer turned branding mentor who gets the reality of building a business and a life at the same time. From a self-employed designer to running a full-scale design studio while raising two children with her husband, Jacqui shares how she evolved her business without losing her sanity and how you can create a brand that truly reflects you.
🔥 Inside This Episode:
✔️ Branding Beyond Pretty: Why your brand is more than colors and fonts. It’s about who you are and who you want to attract. ✔️ Business Growth in Seasons: How Jacqui built a brand that worked for her life not the other way around. ✔️ The Big Branding Mistake: Why showing up as “corporate” when you’re not (or “casual” when you’re polished) costs you the right clients. ✔️ Templates & Design Hacks: How to stop making Canva look like Canva and start making it work for your business. ✔️ Scaling Up with a Team: Why outsourcing (before you feel ready) is the game-changer for business growth.
💡 If you’ve ever felt like branding is an expensive “nice-to-have,” this episode will change your mind. Just like Jacqui changed Sarah’s mind about it before her rebrand. Your brand isn’t just a logo, it’s how people experience your business before they ever work with you. And if that experience is off? You’re leaving money on the table.

Decision Fatigue: Why You’re Exhausted & How to Fix It

💡 Ever noticed your brain taps out before lunchtime? You’re not alone. Decision fatigue is stealing your energy, your time, and probably a little bit of your sanity.
In This Episode:
If you’ve ever stared blankly into the fridge at 6 PM, overwhelmed by the sheer effort of deciding what’s for dinner (even though it's literally stocked with food), you’re feeling the effects of decision fatigue.
As women running businesses and households, we’re making hundreds of decisions before we even sit down at our desks. No wonder by the afternoon, we start opting for the easiest, safest choices, not always the best ones.
👉 In this episode, I break down: ✅ Why decision fatigue is killing your productivity and profits ✅ How your brain burns out like a muscle (and what to do about it) ✅ Practical ways to reduce decision overload so you can focus on what actually moves the needle
Because when you’re drained, you’re not making high-quality decisions—you’re making the “I just need this to be over” decisions. And over time? That’s what keeps you stuck.
🔥 Listen Now & Take Back Your Brainpower
🎧 Hit play and learn how to reclaim your mental energy so you can make bold, profitable moves in your business (and maybe even enjoy your evenings without a dinner debate).

Overwhelm, Be Gone!

🌟Overwhelm, Be Gone!🌟
My Beautiful Overachiever, grab your favourite cup of tea (or coffee, we don't judge) and settle in, because this episode is all about stepping off the hamster wheel of overwhelm and into a life that's not just lived but loved. 💖
In This Episode, We’re Getting Real About:
✨ Overwhelm: You know, that constant state of juggling a thousand balls in the air, feeling like you're drowning, and wondering where the damn life raft is. Spoiler: it’s closer than you think!
✨ Decision Fatigue: Too many choices, too many decisions—sound familiar? We're going deep into why more isn't always better and how you can declutter your mental load to find more clarity and peace.
✨ Designing a Life You (And Your Kids) Love: Here’s the thing, gorgeous: The life you design for you is also the life your children live. If they’re not doing the happy dance, it’s time to rethink the rhythm.
Behind the Scenes: Our New Moxie HQ 🏝️  
Oh, and by the way, we’ve been making some big moves—literally! 🌍 We've settled into our new long-term base in Thailand, where the beaches are quieter, the food is to-die-for, and the life lessons just keep rolling in. I’ve realized that I'm a master at chasing goals but not so great at basking in the afterglow. So, we're slowing down, staying put, and leaning into life right here, right now. 🧘‍♀️
Why You Need to Listen:
Are you constantly hustling, moving from one project to the next, never pausing to breathe, let alone enjoy? 😰 You're not alone. I’ve lived that life, built that business—and it nearly broke me. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just plain exhausted, this episode is your wake-up call.
Sarah's Top Tips to Banish Overwhelm:
Get It Out of Your Head: My friend, we’re not meant to carry it all up there. Grab a pen, a piece of paper, and start downloading all those thoughts, tasks, and worries. Trust me, it’s magic. ✍️
Highlight What Really Matters: Not everything on your list is do-or-die. Prioritize what truly needs your attention—like feeding the kids or, you know, keeping the business afloat.
Reduce Choices, Simplify Decisions: The more choices, the more overwhelm. Set rituals and routines that minimize the number of decisions you need to make every day.
Why It Matters Now:
We're heading into the end-of-year frenzy, where expectations mount, deadlines loom, and overwhelm creeps in like an unwanted guest. If you’re a mum, a business owner, or just a woman who wears too many hats (aren’t we all?), you need this episode to help you navigate the madness with grace and grit. 🎩💪

Losing My Mind and Finding it Again

Welcome back to The Moxie Movement 🌟 This week, we’re talking facing fears (of riding scooters), embracing new experiences (through our kids eyes), and tackling the challenges of perimenopause. Join me for a personal journey that’s I hope is both relatable and eye-opening.
 
 Learning to Ride a Scooter 🛵
Living on Koh Lanta, Thailand, I conquered my fear of riding a scooter! From walking everywhere to cruising on a 125cc scooter, I’m reclaiming my independence.
 
 Seeing the World Through My Daughter’s Eyes 👁️👁️
Exploring Thailand with Scarlett has been a joy, reminding me of the beauty in new experiences and seeing the world through our children’s eyes.
 
 The Stark Reality of Microplastics 🏝️
A beach cleanup revealed the devastating impact of microplastics. As business owners, we have a role in shaping a sustainable future for our planet and our kids.
 
 Navigating Perimenopause 🔥
Ladies, if you’re 35-55, you might be facing perimenopause like me. Symptoms like brain fog, anxiety, and disrupted sleep hit me hard, but understanding them and finding the right support has been life-changing.
 
 The Importance of Hormone Health 🩺
I pushed for the right medical advice and found Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to be a game-changer. It’s crucial to advocate for yourself and get the support you need.
 
 Returning to My True Self 💪
Within days of starting HRT, my clarity, motivation, and confidence returned. If you’re struggling, know you’re not alone and there are solutions.
 
 Takeaways 🌟
Listen to Your Body: Trust your instincts and get informed.
Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to push for the medical help you need.
Prioritize Self-Care: You’re the biggest asset to your business. Ensure you’re getting enough sleep, hydration, and proper nutrition.
Join a Supportive Community: Surround yourself with women who understand and uplift each other.

From Feelings to Facts: Romancing Your Business Numbers for Success

Here in Thailand, we are waking up in the tropical heat… which is a number you can feel. Many female business owners make the mistake of feeling their numbers. This episode is all about guiding you through how to shift from feels to knows when it comes to the scoreboard in your business. With a side of romance to keep it interesting. 
Sarah has left not just the building but the whole country and is coming to you from an island in Thailand. No, it didn’t magically happen. It’s a full circle moment back to where Jonny and I met that came out of the deliberate processes we use in our business and life. 
Location Freedom: Living the Dream
Seven years ago, Jonny and I decided we wanted more than just financial freedom—we wanted the ability to work from anywhere. After a lot of planning and a few detours (thanks, 2020), we’re finally doing it. We renovated our house, listed it on Airbnb, and now we’re in Thailand, embracing homeschooling, unschooling, and world schooling for Scarlett.
Business as Usual—But Better
Despite the move, our business keeps running smoothly. I’m still here for my clients, recording podcasts and planning in-person events when we’re back in New Zealand. Jonny’s managing the cruises with an onboard and onshore team handling the day-to-day, giving us the freedom we’ve always wanted.
Embracing Change and Overcoming Challenges
This journey hasn’t been easy. From Scarlett adjusting to a suitcase life to saying goodbye to my Gran, we’ve faced our fair share of challenges. These experiences reminded us that significant changes always come with obstacles, but they’re worth it.
 Key Learnings from Our Journey
Embrace the Obstacles: Challenges will always pop up. They test your commitment to your goals.
Exercise for Mental Health: My mental health is closely tied to physical activity. Even during chaos, find time to move. It’s crucial.
Create a Productive Environment: Your workspace matters. Make sure it’s set up to help you stay productive and separate work from personal life.
The Importance of Knowing Your Numbers
You can’t “feel” your numbers—they’re facts. Understanding them is essential for your business success.
Use a Framework: We recommend Profit First for its clear, structured approach. It helps you see exactly what’s going on with your money.
Know Your Costs: Understand direct costs (what each unit costs to make) and indirect costs (expenses you have regardless of sales). This clarity helps in setting the right prices and boosting profitability.
Review Regularly: Regularly check your numbers and make small adjustments. Incremental changes can significantly improve your bottom line.
 Action Steps:
Read Profit First: Get a copy of Mike Michalowicz’s book or Profit First for Tradies by Katie Criswell Marshall if you’re in New Zealand or Australia. It’s a must-read.
Ask Questions: Find a trusted advisor who can explain your numbers in plain English. No question is too dumb—understanding is key.
Romance Your Numbers: Make reviewing your numbers a habit. Create a comfortable environment, get your favourite coffee and treat, and dive into your financials regularly.
