While prepping for my Everest Base Camp and Lobuche Peak adventure, I went on a long, hilly walk by the river, audiobook in ears — Jim Rohn’s entire audio library. It's so good! And it reminded me of a simple but powerful project I did over the long weekend: repainting…
This episode is for anyone who's ever thought: “Am I repeating myself too much?” “Should I change my message to keep things interesting?” “Does anyone even care?” Well… yes, no, and absolutely. In this replay, I’m chatting with Jeffrey Shaw (https://www.jeffreyshaw.com/) —author of The Self-Employed Life, host of a brilliant…
This episode is a plot twist in real time. A few weeks ago, I mentioned I’d be trekking to Everest Base Camp and climbing Lobuche East Peak in November. It’s a terrifying and exciting move—and it all came about thanks to the guest on today’s show: Matthew Stewart. (https://au.linkedin.com/in/drmatthewstewart) Matt…
A few episodes ago I riffed on Inbox Zero—and joked that I bet my friend Sarah Stoddart (https://au.linkedin.com/in/sarah-stoddart-23b92240) follows it. Turns out, she definitely does. She voice-noted me her strategy after hearing the episode, and honestly, her approach is so clear, simple, and totally doable that I had to share…
This episode is a total curveball. A complete pivot from anything I had on my 2025 vision board. I’m not climbing to the top of Mount Everest, but I am heading to Everest Base Camp... and beyond. I’ve just said yes (terrified, excited, slightly in denial) to climbing Lobuche Peak…
Today’s riff is inspired by a lesson I learned back when I was a one-woman marketing department at a remote TAFE in northwest Australia. We had this boring-sounding course on email management that no one signed up for—until we renamed it: Email Hell to Email Heaven. Boom. It sold out…
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on Million Dollar Weekend (https://noahkagan.com/mdwbook/) by Noah Kagan. I'm about three-quarters through it, but I couldn’t wait to talk about it. It’s that good. You’ll hear why I’ve highlighted more passages than I’ve left untouched in this book (a rare feat), and why…
This episode isn’t just about running — it’s about mindset. I laced up, hit play on a 60-minute guided run from the Nike Run Club app, and suddenly found myself running (well, metaphorically) alongside Eliud Kipchoge — two-time Olympic marathon champion, former world record holder, and one of the greatest…
Today we're joined by Anamaria Dorgo (https://www.linkedin.com/in/anamariadorgo/?originalSubdomain=nl) , a powerhouse community builder, facilitator, and L&D mentor who brings fresh energy and honesty to the space. We chat about the awkward but freeing shift from corporate trainer to facilitator (aka: from control freak to co-creator), how to stop obsessing over “engagement”…
Today’s Weekend Rewind takes you straight into the latest Talk the Walk livestream I hosted with consulting legend, Alan Weiss. (https://alanweiss.com/) We riffed on pricing psychology, why people stay stuck undercharging, and how overdelivering isn’t noble—it’s often self-sabotage. Here’s what we covered: • Why your pricing probably reflects your self-esteem…
If you’re great at what you do... Why are you still giving away your best work for next to nothing? In Episode #19 of Talk the Walk, I’m back with Alan Weiss and we'd love you to join us for a smart, no-fluff conversation on why undercharging and overdelivering isn’t…
Hey, it’s Day 101 — we’ve officially stepped into the triple digits of the year, and I wanted to share a productivity principle that keeps smacking me in the face when I forget it: Parkinson’s Law. It says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Simple.…
Well, we made it. 100 days, 100 episodes. 265 to go! In today's special 100th episode, I flipped the mic on myself. I used an AI voice to ask me a bunch of reflective questions — and I answered them, off the cuff, just like I always do. We cover:…
In this quick ep, Ihares a sticky little metaphor sparked from a local café run and a slightly annoying car park moment. The lesson? Reverse parking isn’t just a driving tip – it’s a mindset. I explore how doing something mildly annoying now (like reversing into a tight car space)…

My guest today is the award-winning TV journalist from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Sophie Scott OAM (https://www.sophiescott.com.au/) . Sophie's multi-faceted career has transitioned her from a household face on…
In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script on the idea of “finding” your uniqueness. Too many of us spend years searching for that special something that sets us apart, thinking it’s hidden somewhere out of reach. But what if I told you it’s already right in front of you—hiding in…
This morning, I was faced with a choice: participate in a 7AM webinar or attend a local Chamber of Commerce coffee event. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: • The 7AM Dilemma: Why I opted to ditch the webinar for a local coffee event and how it turned into…
Video—you need to start using it now. This is Part 2 of my conversation with Joeri Schilders (https://www.joericreates.com/) (a.k.a. The Magic Sauce), and in this episode, we’re talking about how video isn’t about perfect content—it’s about connection. Connect with Joeri on LInkedIn. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/joerischilders/) Joeri helps solopreneurs and self-employed professionals grow…
I'm pumped to bring you this episode with my good friend, Joeri Schilders—also known as The Magic Sauce. Joeri and I go way back. We first connected virtually in 2020 through my Facebook group, The Flipchart (I still don’t know how he found it!). Over the years, we've built a…
🚗 The Porsche 911 is my favourite car of all time. It’s an icon. A masterpiece. The perfect blend of engineering and emotion. But here’s the wild part: it almost didn’t exist. In 1980, Porsche was struggling. For the first time in their history, they didn’t turn a profit. Sales…
In this special Weekend Rewind episode, Leanne Hughes flips the script! Instead of replaying an interview where she's the host, she shares an episode from Flourishing Unfiltered (https://www.flourishing-unfiltered.com/) , where Dr. Maike Neuhaus (https://www.theflourishingdoc.com/about-dr-maike-neuhaus) and Kerrin Smith (https://www.theelevatedapproach.com.au/meet-kerrin) interview her. This conversation dives deep into bold decision-making, overcoming self-doubt, and…
It was a real treat to chat with today’s guest, Scott Armstrong (https://www.mindswitch.ca/) . Scott is a Canadian who has made some bold career moves. He started out as a corporate banker, frustrated with the routine of pushing paper, before taking on a role at Canada’s largest rehabilitation centre for…
