ABOUT THE GUEST

Leash is the visionary founder behind Mahalo Eco Blinds, a company dedicated to providing families with eco-friendly, non-toxic blackout blinds designed to ensure a healthier, more restful environment. 

Before becoming a mother, Leash worked as a naturopath, gaining valuable insights into environmental toxins. This knowledge became instrumental in shaping her business when, during a profound moment of meditation, the idea for using industrially compostable materials was intuitively revealed to her. 

With Mahalo Eco Blinds, Leash has woven her understanding of health and wellness into a product that supports better sleep while aligning with her commitment to sustainability and planetary well-being. 

Through her innovative approach, she continues to inspire, showing how business can be a force for good, guided by intuition and a deep sense of purpose.

Bless it be.

111: REWIND: What is your business missing? Strategy?

111: REWIND: What is your business missing? Strategy?

One thing your business might be missing… 


And it is something I have noticed in the last few months among female entrepreneurs. 


It striked me how many small business owners prioritise tactics, flashy digital tools, and shiny objects, overlooking the fact that the missing link is actually the strategy led by none other than YOU, the CEO.


The crystal clear vision. 


With over 15 years of experience as a strategy consultant and business doula across various business sizes, I can confidently say that we ALWAYS begin with a well-crafted strategy before handing it off to the marketing, product, financial, and operations teams. 


This applies even if you're a solopreneur or have a small team. 


I am wholeheartedly convinced of this truth!


Welcome to this REWIND episode where I will help debunk some strategy myths and set you on the right path!

You can build a side hustle without the hustle… 


It doesn’t have to be about working extra hard just to make your side hustle a “success”.

ABOUT THE GUESTS


Eva

Eva Cassis always knew she wanted to be a fashion designer. When she was a little girl she taught herself to draw and sew dolls clothes on her toy sewing machine. It was only natural that she would go on to study fashion design. 

And while Eva worked in luxury fashion - for labels such as Prada and Collette Dinnigan - she never used her qualifications. But those experiences gave her the grounding in exquisite craftsmanship and incredible construction details that have become the cornerstone of her own label. 

It was in 2011, after experiencing the frustration of trying to find clothes to flatter her changing body shape, that Eva decided to start her own label. After a year of planning, she launched with a vision to create beautifully flattering designs, expertly handmade at accessible prices. In 2012, Eva Cassis launched with a simple desire to create ethical, considered and timeless garments and accessories. Almost a decade later and we continue to provide our customers with kinder, more sustainable fashion options with enduring appeal. 

She has grown the business from the ground up, all while raising her two young sons. 

The success of the label is testament to Eva’s hard work and unwavering dedication to her slow and humble philosophy. 


Katie 

Katie Rose is a women’s wellness mentor and educator with twenty-five years’ experience in the world of yoga and ayurveda. Katie has managed and owned popular yoga studios in both London and Sydney, and now runs a thriving online community. Founder and host of the annual Bhakti Women Online Summit, Katie helps women go from feeling stuck and overwhelmed to living a life that is aligned with their highest values. She lives in Sydney, Australia, with her partner and her five children in a loud and busy household where her meditation practice keeps her sane.

103: A new way of business: 7-figure flipped

103: A new way of business: 7-figure flipped

There's a trend going around on social media that's damaging to businesses… 


I want to talk about it and call it out. 


The idea of a 7-figure business has become a buzzword, a symbol of success that many entrepreneurs aspire to achieve, however is not something that is achievable overnight or by following a blueprint.  


Welcome to the 7-figure flipped campaign! 


When we say "figure”, as part of this campaign, we're not talking about mere numbers, which is one definition of figure here. 

We're talking about the silhouette, the person, and their definition.


It's not just about the financial digits; it’s about the lives you touch, the communities you empower, and the profound impact you create.


Join me as I over the next month share a journey of 7-figure flip, which is interviewing seven women about their definition of success - this is just the beginning!

ABOUT THE GUEST


Champagne drinking, coffee addicted, flamingo fancying, colourful, crazy cat lady.

Jen Bowers is a Brand Joy Coach & Strategist with over three decades of experience and an unapologetic, passionate voice for 50+ women who are ready to live their life in full colour. 

 

Her mission? To help women over 50 uncover, rediscover and become who they were always meant to be through the power of branding, embodiment and self-transformation. 


Being someone who up until the age of 52 personally felt like every day was black and white, wishing she was invisible, and that her life was getting “lived” instead of truly living it, she herself is a true embodiment of how you are never too old and it’s never too late to start another adventure.


Today, through her programs, her presentations, and her done-for-you service offerings, she helps women entrepreneurs not only stand out like a flamingo in the flock of seagulls but also creates powerful experiences that ignite reactions from those who are within her container, like: “you have changed my life” and “finally, you’ve given me a voice.”

Some of Jen’s previous design clients have included the likes of Commonwealth Bank, Kimberly, O’Brien Glass, Citibank, Woolworths, and Swarovski and she’s been a guest on podcasts such as Mums with Hustle, Stand Out Style, Secrets of Confident Women, Lit Up and Liberated Entrepreneur and has spoken in high-end Masterminds such as Inner Circle Mastermind by Tracy Harris and at Tina Towers Palm Springs USA Conference. 


In her spare time, you’ll likely find her sipping on a glass of Mumm champagne, hanging out with her beautiful family and friends in Sydney, or snuggling up in a cosy nook reading with her cat (or cats) on her lap. 


Bless it be. 

With love, Laetitia!

And this doesn’t just mean the spoken word. The words you write on your website, your social media posts, your emails can have a profound impact on your audience. 


Sometimes you just have to understand the process of the written word and copy to be able to use words in a purpose-led way! 


Episode 98 of The Essential Shift Podcast is all about the power of words. I am joined by copy expert Anita Siek who is going to share some really great insights to help you be the copywriter for your business!

93: What is your business missing? Strategy?

93: What is your business missing? Strategy?

One thing your business might be missing… 


And it is something I have noticed in the last few months among female entrepreneurs. 


It striked me how many small business owners prioritise tactics, flashy digital tools, and shiny objects, overlooking the fact that the missing link is actually the strategy led by none other than YOU, the CEO.


The crystal clear vision. 


With over 15 years of experience as a strategy consultant and business doula across various business sizes, I can confidently say that we ALWAYS begin with a well-crafted strategy before handing it off to the marketing, product, financial, and operations teams. 


This applies even if you're a solopreneur or have a small team. 


I am wholeheartedly convinced of this truth!


This episode will help debunk some strategy myths and set you on the right path!

88: REWIND: The energetics of selling - How I made $111k in a month

88: REWIND: The energetics of selling - How I made $111k in a month

I made $111k in the month of October 2022…I don't often share my monthly figures. Whether I make $30k or $60k and beyond.


But I felt intuitively that this month was going to be a $100k month during the final weeks of October.


Without attachment, I started putting the numbers together. When I checked it was $95k and then the final figures were $111k!! I didn't intend for it to be a big month. I didn't have any major launches or high ticket offerings.


I just had an energetic match, I was ready for it. While it isn't just about energy, I had a strategy. Multiple revenue streams in my business, harvesting the seeds I planted months and months ago. It was about serving my community to impact and transform.


No overnight success here but it is a 6 figure month, which is possible with consistency, nourishment, strategy and patience! This podcast breaks it all down for you along with the energetics aligned to this $111k month!

85: REWIND: A Journey into surrender with Mariah MacInnes

85: REWIND: A Journey into surrender with Mariah MacInnes

What does the word surrender mean to you?


When I have asked this to my clients before, I get very different answers. 


From the concept of holding up the “white flag” and giving up, to the process of letting something be and purely accepting what comes up - surrender has different meanings to us all. 


Well, surrender to me is a concept that can be so powerful, you just don’t realise the impact it can have. Maybe it is resting during the week when things are busy for you. Or sending a proposal for a potential client and surrendering to the outcome.


This REWIND episode is taking you through the journey of Mariah MacInnes, Founder of Content Queen. She is here to share her journey of surrender (Mariah is also a story within my NEW book Light IT - pre-order open NOW). 


After being diagnosed with x2 tumours in early 2021, Mariah found how the power of surrender helped with her healing journey.

84: What your business could be missing: intuition in business

84: What your business could be missing: intuition in business

Whenever I mention this missing piece in business, it goes one of two ways. 

Some people totally get it and have experienced it before. Others are a little confused about how they connect. 

Intuition in business. 

The “gut feeling” we get when we feel called to do something (or not do something) in our business is led by our intuition. 

But as I expand and grow in business, there is a clear message that the more I trust myself and go with my intuition, the better the outcomes and the more growth I see. 

Intuition is such an important part of business, so much so that I am dedicating this podcast episode to explore it deeper with you.
