In this solo episode, Nadine breaks down the truth about niching beyond the surface-level “ideal client” talk you’ve heard a hundred times before.

She reveals the two sides of your niche: your industry niche (who you serve) and your authority niche (why people choose you), explaining why both are essential for building long-term authority and to consistently attract clients.

Nadine explores how humility conditioning, that deep-rooted belief that it’s arrogant to own your strengths, keeps so many women stuck and second-guessing their expertise.

She shares how to confidently articulate what you do, what you’re known for, and the exact results you can help people achieve, even if you’re just 1% ahead.

You’ll learn how to define your ideal client with total clarity, identify your built-in skills and experience, and develop your own signature frameworks that make your brand unmistakably yours.

Do you ever feel like no matter how much you achieve in your business, it’s never enough?

Let’s talk about why chasing the next milestone might be keeping you stuck.

Nadine is speaking from her own experience about how constantly focusing on what didn’t go well or moving straight on to the next milestone can quickly take over and rob you of celebrating any progress.

Instead of framing moments like a lack of sign-ups from a launch as a moment of failure, Nadine reframes them as proof of progress and knowing what the right next step will be for your business.

She talks about the importance of recognising small wins and embracing quieter seasons in business.

When you’re building a business online, showing up on social media can feel confusing.

Should you share everything about your life like an influencer, or keep things strictly professional as the CEO of your company?

Nadine is breaking down the fine line between influencer energy and personal branding, and how to get the right balance so your content builds trust, credibility, and connection with your ideal clients.

Nadine uses the ‘shop on fire theory’ to explain that oversharing in the moment is not the best business move as it’s not serving your ideal client and how you need to be sharing these experiences once you’ve come out the other side and can help your client do the same.

She’ll also give you three key questions you need to ask yourself to see if you’re posting like an influencer or like a CEO of your company and how to change it if you’ve been giving influencer energy.

Are you secretly giving off 'pick me' energy in your business? This could be costing you clients, confidence and control of your own business.

Nadine is discussing something that everyone has felt (or maybe even still feels) in their business and it’s the mindset that leaves business owners constantly seeking validation from clients instead of standing in their own authority.

This energy can show up in subtle ways and Nadine goes through some of them in today’s episode like from over-delivering out of fear, not charging enough or taking on clients you know are going to be a nightmare to work with.

It’s time to flip the dynamic and start choosing your clients instead of waiting to be chosen.

Nadine will give you practical steps as always to start doing this so make sure to listen until the end so you can start to implement her advice today.

Scaling your business doesn’t just mean more money and more clients, like social media likes to make it out to be. It comes with a lot of hidden challenges that are so normal, but yet nobody talks about it.

Nadine is going to be opening up about the reality of scaling your business today.

While most business owners focus on landing their first clients or hitting their first income milestone, few talk about what happens when you actually achieve all the success you set out for.

Nadine shares the behind-the-scenes truth about managing a fully booked calendar, adapting your systems as you grow, and why success can feel heavier than failure.

She chats about what happens when clients are flowing in, money milestones are being reached, but you can feel your time, energy and systems reaching their breaking points. This is the point where self-sabotage usually comes in as the fear of success starts to creep in and you need to learn how to maintain momentum and use a new set of skills to do this.

If anyone has faced burnout from scaling their business, or if you’re someone who is in the early stages of business and you want to start building sustainable strategies for long-term success, this episode is for you.

A no shouldn’t break you in your business and a yes shouldn’t be the only thing that keeps you motivated.

Nadine is speaking about one of the hardest skills to master in business and life which is practising neutrality.

This is so important so that you stay grounded and don’t end up spiralling when a client says no or getting too caught up when a client says yes.

She shares how attaching your value to external outcomes can leave you chasing unsustainable highs or crashing after rejections and how you can find the balance between these.

Nadine shows why your worth hasn’t shifted no matter the outcome, and how to keep showing up consistently regardless of results.

You’ll learn about self-fulfilling prophecies, rejection therapy, and also five practical ways to start practising neutrality right now.
