#82: Selling, Summits & Showing Up Imperfectly: A Real-Life Update
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This episode wasn’t planned. At all. I’m recording it messy, tired, mid-marathon-training, and deep in summit prep… because the message needed to be said. If you’re struggling with ‘shoulds,’ this one’s for you.

🎧 I talk about:
- Honouring real capacity after returning from Thailand (and why this episode is intentionally imperfect).
- Navigating summit season + marathon training and letting go of “shoulds”
- A quick update on your London Marathon fundraiser for ActionAid.
- Why selling feels different in 2026 and the small tweaks that actually move the needle.
- What to expect inside the free Soulful Sales Summit (including TWO brand new trainings from me about what's working with offers in 2026)
💭 [02:24] “I need to be really honest with myself about what my actual capacity is right now.”
💭 [06:18] “I’m not gonna lie, I have thought about quitting quite a lot over the last few weeks.
💭 [08:05] “I had a really great year in 2025 despite all of this noise… and I was kind of believing things were getting harder until I looked at the numbers.”
💭 [10:28] “Even one idea could totally change the trajectory of your business in 2026.”
