Unshakeable Talks
The Unshakeable Talks with Katy Schweiger lifts the lid on what entrepreneurs are really going through - the mistakes, the pressure, the myths we’ve been sold, and the messy reality of balancing business and life.
This isn’t another podcast teaching strategy or pretending success is seamless. It’s about raw, honest conversations with female entrepreneurs who are doing it all - the wins, the wobble moments, and the truths most people never say out loud.
Because running a business as a woman isn’t harder, but it is different - and it’s time we talked about it.

Women Supporting Women… or Just Competing?

In this episode of Unshakable Talks, Katy dives into the often hidden realities of collaboration in the business world. She explores the difference between genuine support and transactional relationships, calling out hidden jealousy, online competition, and opportunistic behavior that can chip away at confidence. Katy shares her own experiences, from being pitched constantly to seeing “women supporting women” turn into opportunistic moves, and reframes what true collaboration looks like: authentic connection, trust, and mutual support without hidden motives.
Key Takeaways:
True collaboration is rooted in support, not self-interest.
Collaboration should lift both of you up, not serve as a shortcut to use someone else’s success. Hidden motives turn partnerships into competition, not connection.
Transactional relationships are not collaboration.
Asking for free advice, exposure, or favors without giving anything back crosses the line. Real collaboration respects each person’s time, skills, and expertise.
Online envy can sabotage connections.
Social media can make women unconsciously compare, compete, or pull back from genuine support. Recognise when hidden jealousy is influencing your actions and pause.
Boundaries matter.
It’s okay to check in, show interest, and support someone without always pitching or expecting something in return. Healthy collaboration thrives on clear boundaries and respect.
Confidence grows through genuine connection.
Supporting others authentically - liking a post, sharing work, recommending services - builds trust and strengthens community. When women genuinely support each other, everyone wins.
