Life, as we know it, can sometimes feel like we’re in the midst of a relentless storm.

The pressures of expectations in life and business can often feel like they’re closing in on us, and finding a moment of peace is much easier said than done.

If you’ve been feeling worn out, weighed down or simply trying to keep it all together, you’re not alone.

Recently, I had a bit of an epiphany, thanks to my English Springer Spaniel, Nalu. Watching her find such peace and calm in the middle of life's chaos inspired me to consider how we can all find our centre even when the world feels heavy.

Here, I want to share with you the six grounding strategies I’ve found to be invaluable. These aren’t just ideas; they’re actionable steps that have helped me and others find balance and resilience:

1. Anchor Yourself to Your 'Why'

2. Create a Practice of Pausing and Reflection

3. Lean on Your Support Network

4. Set Boundaries on Your Energy

5. Celebrate Small Wins with Intention

6. Integrate Self-Care Without Guilt

If there’s one thing I want you to take away today, it’s that every storm will eventually pass. Staying steady, grounded in purpose and calm in spirit will help you navigate whatever life throws your way.

Remember, you have within yourself the strength and resilience to weather any storm. So, whenever you feel overwhelmed, revisit these strategies, trust in yourself and know brighter days are ahead.

If you want to be successful in business you’re going to have to hustle.

Well, that’s what a lot of people think, and they work themselves to exhaustion because of it.

But in reality, things aren’t that black and white. Which is precisely why I invited Vanessa and Nicky, the brilliant co-authors of Healthy Hustle, to join me for a conversation about their latest book.

Healthy Hustle is a guidebook for people who are deep in the business world, people who are established leaders with growing teams, and for anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of endless work. It’s not a get-rich quick guide, but instead an exploration into how business owners can grow their companies without sacrificing their health or their sanity.

You might be surprised that the word “hustle” is in the books title, but it’s not actually advocating to remove hustle from your life. Although it is commonly a drain on people, Vanessa and Nicky argue that hustle, when channelled correctly, can be a source of energy and momentum. "Healthy Hustle" encourages us to embrace those powerful aspects of hustle (like drive and determination) but balance them with your personal joy and wellbeing.

Free speaking engagements can be a powerful way to build a name for yourself but, like everything we do in business, they come at the cost of our time, energy, focus or money.

So, if you want your speaking gig to be worthwhile you need to make sure you’re getting a return on your investment.

And if you want to make sure you get a return on your investment, you’ll need to be proactive and intentional about leveraging the exposure to generate real opportunities.

When I started my entrepreneurial journey, I took countless free speaking gigs thinking they would help me grow but I quickly realised that wasn’t enough on its own. Since then, I’ve developed strategies to turn these free gigs into gold mines, and today, I want to share them with you!
