The Off Switch - Audio Book

Welcome to The Moxie Movement Podcast, where we help business-savvy moms achieve personal and financial success without sacrificing their well-being, family time, or sanity. In today's episode, I share my journey from burnout to balance and how you can do the same.
 Chapter One: Introduction In this chapter, I describe my story of overwork and its toll on my life. I used to think that sacrificing everything now would lead to freedom later. But that “someday” never came. I built my business for freedom, but it became a ball and chain. Like many of you, I got stuck in a cycle of overwork and missed moments with my family.
 
 Key Points:
- The Myth of Hard Work: Working harder isn’t always the answer. It’s about working smarter and finding balance.
- The Turning Point: Realizing that hard work alone won’t get you where you want to be.
- The Shift: Moving from burnout to a balanced life that values business success and personal well-being.
 
 My Journey:
- From Dreams to Burnout: I wanted the freedom of running my own business, but instead, I found myself overworked and exhausted.
- Major Life Lessons: From taking over my parents' business to running multiple ventures and experiencing the impact of the GFC, I learned what works and what doesn’t.
- A Wake-Up Call: My daughter’s simple request on Christmas Day made me realise the true cost of my choices. This moment led to big changes in how I approached my business and life.

Dear Female Business Owner You Aren't Crazy

Why Everything Feels Harder and Takes Longer Than You Expected
Can you relate to this looming question: why does everything in business and life take longer and feel harder than we expected?
Episode Highlights
You Are Not Alone: Feeling like things are taking forever? You’re not crazy. It’s normal. Business, like life, often demands more time, effort, and resilience than we initially thought.
The Full Picture: We rarely see the entire journey behind someone’s success. When we’re only shown the highlights, it’s easy to forget the hard work and setbacks. Let’s explore why it feels so tough and what we can do about it.
Life Happens: From global events like pandemics to personal health issues, life always throws curveballs. It's important to remember that these challenges are part of the journey and do not reflect your capabilities.
The Unknowns: When we start, there’s so much we don’t know. This lack of knowledge can make tasks seem easy but then feel insurmountable. But as we gain experience, we become better at estimating and tackling these challenges.
Playing an Unusual Game: Running a business is not the norm for most people. The pressure and expectations can feel overwhelming, especially when those around you don’t understand your journey. Surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals is crucial.
Comparison Trap: Each journey is unique. Comparing yourself to others can lead to frustration and self-doubt. Focus on your path, your milestones, and your goals.
Key Takeaways
Get Clear on Your Vision: Define what you want your business and life to look like. Write it down and keep that vision front and center.
Find Your Tribe: Surround yourself with people who understand your journey. They can be a source of motivation and accountability.
Take Consistent Action: Break down your goals into weekly tasks. Consistent, small steps lead to significant progress over time.

Living in the "And"

This episode feels a bit out there, but stick with me — it helps navigate the bumpy journey we are all on. We're discussing what it means to live in the "and".
📍 **Episode Overview**  This episode breaks down the myth of having it "all figured out." It’s easy to scroll through social media and believe others have perfect lives. Here's the raw truth: life isn’t black and white; it’s lived in the shades of grey. I share why embracing this mindset eases the pressure and enriches our experiences as business owners.
🔍 **Why Listen?**  - Understand why life and business can’t fit into neat, tidy boxes.- Learn to accept that multiple realities can coexist—success can mingle with challenges, and that’s perfectly okay.- Discover how embracing complexity can lead to a calmer experience of personal and business growth.
🎧 **In This Episode, You’ll Learn:**  - The importance of recognizing both the light and dark moments in life.- Practical tips for handling the juxtaposition of success and difficulty.- How to give yourself grace and space to navigate these dualities, making the business journey more manageable and less isolating.
👥 **Join the Conversation**  Got a question or want to share your “and” moments? Follow and message us on Instagram or Facebook . Your insights could be featured in an upcoming episode!

Till next time, Stay Moxie. 💪

Why Knowing Isn't Enough

🌟 Welcome to Episode 29: Why Knowing Isn't Enough 🌟
Often, the best truths are both simple and complex - Simple to Say, often Complex to embody.
Knowing is not enough - is absolutely one of those. 
Knowing how to do something is not enough to bring about the change we desire in our lives and businesses. If it were, we would all be living perfect lives with millions in our bank accounts, wouldn't we? Let's discover what it really takes to bring about lasting change.
🔥 Episode Highlights: 🔥
We often believe understanding the 'what' and the 'how' of something should lead us to success. However, the reality is pretty different. It's not just about the actions or strategies—it's about aligning those with our deeper mental frameworks, the ones created over years of conditioning. This episode explores the crucial 80/20 rule, where 80% is your mindset, and only 20% is the actual tactics.
The Myth of Action: Why simply knowing what to do doesn't lead to results.
Mindset Over Mechanics: Learn why your inner game dictates your success far more than any strategy.
Real Alignment: How to sync your beliefs, values, and emotions with your business goals to effortlessly encourage action.
Simplicity in Execution: I'll share why simplifying processes isn't just a preference—it's a necessity for sustainable success.
🌈 Why This Matters 🌈
As smart, savvy women in business, we sometimes complicate things that could be straightforward because we're conditioned to believe that complexity equals value. Here at The Moxie Movement, we (now) know better. We're about cutting through the noise, doing the deep internal work, and making success achievable by aligning our mindset with our methods.
🎧 Listen In For 🎧
An in-depth discussion on how true business success is not just about applying the right tactics but nurturing the right mindset. I’ll also introduce tools and concepts that can transform not just your business but your life—making it more aligned with the freedom and success you truly desire.

Passive Income - The Glorious Exception or a Red Flag?

🎙️ Passive Income - The Glorious Exception or a Red Flag?
Is passive income the magic pill to create the perfect business, or is it a red flag sending you on a wild goose chase with the promise of no work for lots of money? Let's unpack this together.
🚩 Why Passive Income Might Be a Red Flag 🚩
Sarah shares her thoughts on why pursuing passive income could be counterintuitive for female entrepreneurs like you. The essence of passive, meaning to do nothing, doesn't align with the spirit that led you to start your own business. It's about influence, control, and direct action – not sitting back and hoping for the best.
The Reality of Income Streams
Sarah explores the efforts behind seemingly effortless gains of traditional passive income streams. Whether it's real estate or stock investments, action and maintenance are inevitable. It's a gentle reminder that every income stream, passive or not, demands something from us – be it time, money, or energy.
The Appeal vs. The Reality
Sure, the idea of earning money in your sleep is alluring, but is it practical? Sarah challenges this notion, encouraging a mindset shift towards value exchange and active engagement in your business. It's not just about setting and forgetting; it's about continuous effort, learning, and adapting.
Building a Leveraged Business
Yes, you can create systems that generate income with less day-to-day input, but it requires initial (and ongoing) action. From developing a product or service that people want, to setting up a sales and delivery system, there's work to be done. And in a changing world, maintenance and adaptation become your constants.
Join The Moxie Movement
If you're ready to embrace action, align your business with your highest priorities, and maintain control over your journey, then you're ready to join the Moxie Movement.
