Okay, come behind the scenes with me for this one, because I love hearing other people's lists — what they're doing, how they're showing up in a season — and I find it a little bit inspiring. So I thought I'd take you through mine.

We're heading into the last couple of quarters of the year, the last little push, and I've got so much coming up that I'm genuinely so excited about. But more exciting things also means I'm going to have to change how I show up a bit. And honestly? Busy doesn't equate to negative for me anymore. It's been really fun-busy behind the scenes. So this is my little list — the handful of things I'm consciously prioritising to look after myself and my business as it gets busier. They're small. They make a huge difference.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why I don't love the word "busy" anymore (and what's shifted)
• My non-negotiable — and how I can tell the moment I've been skipping it
• The one question I keep asking myself to sort a fear-thought from an actual intuition drop-in
• The most annoying thing about my own work ethic, and the season of self-trust I'm deliberately building because of it
• Why I put gratitude in my calendar (and why "I'm grateful for my business" doesn't cut it)
• The thing little founders are so good at that I'm finally trying to let go of

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Keeping promises to yourself is a skill you build. Every time you say you'll do a thing and actually do it, you get the little hit — and you're teaching yourself that your word means something. If growing your business, it's one of the best things you can do.
• Fear is loud. So is intuition. Learning to tell the two apart — is this coming from fear, or from a deeper drop-in? — changes the decisions you make.
• Gratitude gets specific or it doesn't count. Not "I'm grateful for my life, blah blah." That one conversation. That one moment this week. The more you look for them, the more you create.
