Nobody launches a startup for an easier life. We forge it from passion, craft it from sleepless optimism, and power it with triple-shot caffeine.

Risk-averse leadership: is imposter syndrome stifling your business growth?

Even the most accomplished business leaders can secretly wrestle with crippling self-doubt. This is particularly true of SME leaders lacking significant peer networks with which to share concerns and challenges with.

Founder anxiety – don’t let it destroy what you worked so hard to build

Founder anxiety isn't just real – it's inevitable. When you're building a business from the ground up, carrying the weight of responsibility for your team's livelihoods and your company's future, anxiety comes with the territory. The flexibility, autonomy, and ability to build something aligned with your values are incredible perks of being a founder, but they come at a psychological cost that many underestimate.

The 3W's of resilience

I want to be honest straight off the bat, resilience isn’t just some fluffy buzzword we throw around to sound inspirational. For women running businesses, especially those doing it while juggling kids, self doubt, the dreaded imposter syndrome, deadlines, caring responsibilities and the pressure to show up looking polished for Instagram, resilience is often the quiet force that gets us through the day. We never think much about it until after the fact, only when looking back on what we have waded through, that Resilience in it's true form is appreciated!

From burnout to balance: lessons from a startup founder

It was during my second startup that I burnt out. After my first company took off quickly – creating and delivering DSLR camera equipment to customers worldwide within a year – I assumed my next venture would be just as smooth. I was wrong.

Workplace wellness is a lie and everyone knows it

Let’s stop pretending that your weekly corporate Zoom yoga is fixing burnout. Your company rolls out meditation apps, hosts mental health webinars, and maybe even throws in a mindfulness day once a quarter. All under the banner of ‘employee wellness’. Meanwhile, the calendar is still packed with back-to-back meetings, Slack never sleeps, and your team’s average workday just bled into their evening…again.

Why work would be much better if we all stopped waiting to speak

When was the last time you asked for directions? Perhaps you’re too proud. And now we have Google Maps, the need to plead with another human to show us the way is reassuringly rare. But I asked for directions last week and came completely unstuck.

Ditch the Flooberries: the bold mindset for founders ready to lead with authenticity

In a world obsessed with opinions, expectations, and playing it safe, a new breed of entrepreneurs and startup founders is emerging. These bold individuals are rejecting the status quo, cranking up their confidence, and embracing a mindset that I like to call the “Flying Flooberry” philosophy. It’s all about not giving a single fluffy, sparkly, cheese-filled care about other people’s judgments. And trust me, this attitude is a total game-changer.

Taking control of stressful situations

For many the idea of planning and running a large scale event might automatically get your heart rate pumping, and it certainly did for me earlier in my career. I’d worry about the slightest details with lots of anxious thoughts and sleepless nights in the run up to anything I was working on.

The rise of therapeutic gaming: how mixed reality is transforming stress relief

Gaming has traditionally been seen as a source of entertainment, competition, or escapism. However, a growing trend is challenging these perceptions: therapeutic gaming. With mixed reality (MR) technology at the forefront, gaming is emerging as a powerful tool for stress relief and self-care – redefining how people approach "me time" in today’s fast-paced world.
