Welcome to a slightly noisy but very real episode of Real Fabulous Marketing!
Today I’m diving into a reflective solo episode, where I unpack everything that’s happened in Quarter 1 of 2025—because let’s face it, when you run your own business (and especially if you’re a parent too), time moves FAST and pausing to reflect is a luxury we need to make space for.
In this episode, I share what worked, what didn’t, and how I’m using all of it to shape my next 90 days. From road-tripping in Tasmania, to running launches for my clients, navigating school holidays (again), and relaunching this very podcast—there’s been a lot going on!
I’m also giving you a sneak peek at what I’m planning for Quarter 2, including my focus on creative energy, launching with clarity, and a new freebie I’m really excited about (spoiler alert: it's designed to help you grow your list while you do literally anything else).
If you’re ready for a behind-the-scenes peek at how I’m making business work with life—not against it—hit play now.
