Building your Business in 2026: Recommitment, Clarity and Leading beyond the noise

As we move toward 2026, many of us are feeling the weight of a challenging year, personally, professionally and collectively.

The world is shifting, the norms we grew up with are changing and the online business space has gone through its own shake-up. Trust has dropped, noise has increased and many heart-led entrepreneurs are questioning how to move forward.

In this episode, we explore how to set yourself up for meaningful, sustainable business success in 2026 (without burning everything down or starting from scratch). Instead, this is about recommitting, re-clarifying and reconnecting with the real essence of your work.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why 2026 will be shaped by trust, transparency, and care
  • How to step back from the noise of the online space and reconnect with your own discernment
  • What it means to run everything through your own filter instead of reacting to conflicting advice
  • The essential questions to revisit as you plan your business for 2026
  • What to do if things have shifted and you’re no longer sure your business is the path
  • How to simplify, stabilise and strengthen your foundations for growth
  • Why clarity, confidence and leadership (not tactics) are the real drivers of sustainable success

This episode is for heart-led, impact-driven business owners who want to build a business that feels grounded, ethical and aligned with the new norms we want in the world and who want 2026 to be the year they lead from clarity rather than react from overwhelm.

If you want support with this work, join Leaders of Substance, my free community where each week we turn the podcast topic into reflection questions and so you can apply the insights to your own business and take action to progress. The link is in the description.

Here’s to entering 2026 with purpose, presence and the confidence to build the business you truly want.

Getting off the hamster wheel: How to stop overworking and start leading your business

Are you constantly working on your business but not seeing the growth, clients or momentum you expected?

If your to-do list is overflowing, your days are full of ‘doing’ and yet you still feel stuck, this episode will help you understand why and what to do about it.

In today’s episode, we look at why so many online business owners end up on the hamster wheel of constant work: never-ending tasks, endless marketing ideas, competing online opinions, AI-fuelled pressure to produce more content and gnawing perfectionism that pushes everything onto your list ‘just in case’.

Let’s talk about why this isn’t a time-management issue, a productivity issue, or a ‘you’re not disciplined enough’ issue.

The real problem is that the wrong things keep landing on your to-do list and the deeper reason behind that is an identity gap between being your business’s worker and being your business’s leader.

You’ll learn:

  • Why your list feels never-ending (and why that’s normal in entrepreneurship)
  • The hidden loop that keeps you exhausted: exhaustion → stuckness → low ROI → trying harder → more exhaustion
  • The difference between busywork and intentional work (and why what’s commonly decried as busywork is necessary too)
  • How perfectionism, online noise and fear of making the wrong decision quietly sabotage progress
  • The identity shift from worker bee to queen bee (and why this matters more than tactics)
  • Why stepping into your CEO role is essential, even in early stages of business
  • How to choose the right actions for your business, rather than reacting to what everyone else says you ‘should’ do
  • The 5-step BTBO decision-making and leadership framework that helps you get unstuck and move forward with clarity

This is a grounded, practical, mindset-plus-leadership conversation for anyone who wants to grow a sustainable, heart-led online business, without burning out or drowning in tasks.

Inherited fears of visibility and reclaiming your power in business

In this powerful episode, we explore how inherited disempowerment, particularly the Witch Wound still shapes how women experience business today.

If you’ve ever felt afraid to be visible, hesitant to self-promote, or unsure about claiming your power as a business owner, this conversation will help you understand why and how to move through it.

Let’s talk about how, within a wider context particularly, legacies of silencing and suppression throughout history continue to influence our fears around leadership, success and self-expression.

You’ll learn how to start reclaiming your voice, your visibility and your influence so you can grow a heart-led, impactful business rooted in self-trust and purpose and consider how both awareness and action are crucial parts of conscious, inclusive leadership.
