The Scotsman
The Growth Addicts Podcast is a workshop style small business podcast (grab a pen!) packed with actionable tips that are helping thousands of small business owners around the world grow their small business whilst making business life easier at the same time.
Amazon no.1 Bestselling author of her Social Media Planner, Amanda Hughes, is asking the small business questions we all want to know the answers to such as: Does a small business really need a website? How do you convert followers to customers on Instagram? What systems and processes can give you back more time in your business? and How can I actually grow my Instagram following?
Whether you're just thinking about starting up a small business, you already have a side hustle or your business is established and looking to go to the next level, Growth Addicts is for you.
Amanda shares actionable tips, social media strategies, real life entrepreneurial experience and inspiring stories to help you live your best business life.
Amanda herself has been a self employed small business owner for over 10 years and shares the advice that she herself used to escape the 9-5 corporate hustle and build not one, but two, successful small businesses, an Amazon no.1 bestselling social media planner, a thriving social media mentor group, multiple eBooks, and a loyal community.
Not content with just sharing her own experience, Amanda also hosts incredible guests too who are happy to share their experience and advice with you.
With over 3000 downloads worldwide and counting, and an Apple top 30 spot (the first of it's kind in Scotland) Growth Addicts is growing every day.
It's your time to join us and hear from the small business experts, get inspired and get the answers to the burning questions you have along the way!

Running a Business During Perimenopause: Brain Fog, Burnout & Hormone Help with Sarah Shah
Are you trying to grow your business while struggling with brain fog, burnout, or feeling completely off? You might be dealing with perimenopause, and you’re not alone.
In this episode, I chat with Sarah Shah, a Menopause Health & Mindset Coach, about what really happens when your hormones start shifting and how it impacts your focus, energy, and business growth.
Whether you're deep in perimenopause, starting to notice changes, or want to understand what’s coming, this conversation is full of practical tips, symptom support, and mindset shifts to help you feel more like you again.
We dive into:
- How perimenopause symptoms show up for small business owners
- Why brain fog, anxiety, and poor sleep aren’t “just stress”
- What to do when your hormones affect your productivity and confidence
- How Sarah navigated early menopause and built a business from her own experience
- Mindset support and lifestyle changes that actually help
If you’re a female entrepreneur navigating this life stage, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to push through in silence, and there’s support out there.
