In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper I'm talking about how to have the money conversations that feel most frightening, because avoiding them isn't free. It costs you time, money and energy every single day you put them off.

October is here, which means Halloween is just around the corner and this month we're talking about money fears. The scary ones and the ones that feel more like guilt or discomfort than outright terror. And one of the most common ones I see, especially in caring, spiritual, purpose-driven people, is this: the belief that wanting money is somehow unspiritual. That charging for your gifts is wrong. That good people shouldn't care about wealth. This week's episode of Chill & Prosper is all about spirituality and money, and how to embrace both without the guilt.

What if you didn't need to work harder or find new clients or create something brand new? What if the money you're looking for is already there, waiting in places you haven't looked? That's what this week's Chill & Prosper episode is all about.

Guess what? I’m not organized. I forget things. I get overwhelmed. When I feel scattered, my instinct is to buy a new container and convince myself that will fix everything. It does not fix everything. And yet somehow I've been consistently showing up in my business since 2009. Consistently posting. Consistently podcasting. Consistently making offers and making money. The secret isn't discipline or willpower or having everything perfectly together. It's simple systems. In this week's Chill & Prosper, I'm sharing the very simple, unsexy, actually-works systems that run my business without…

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about the hidden money leaks in your business, because fixing them isn't just about saving money. It's about clearing the energy blocks that are keeping you stuck.
E294 · 3 Sep 2026 · 26 min
Can I ask you something? Is there a pattern in your business or your life that just keeps showing up? A type of client who always takes advantage. A launch that always seems to go sideways at the last minute. A relationship that keeps following the same painful script. Money that arrives and then disappears before you can do anything with it. If so, this week's episode of Chill & Prosper is for you.

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm getting into the real reasons undercharging feels so sticky, because this is one of the most common and most painful things I see, especially in women who got into business to help people.

This week's episode is a personal one. Because feeling unworthy isn't just a mindset problem. For a lot of us it's something that started really early. Something that got embedded in our bodies before we even had words for it. I grew up with a very young mum, and I think I arrived in the world already carrying a little feeling of not quite belonging. And then there was the undiagnosed ADHD. And growing up in the 90s when body shame was everywhere and there was definitely something wrong with you if you weren't a certain size. I just felt, from a young age, like there was something wrong with…

Here's a question I want you to sit with for a second. When did you last make a business decision based entirely on what YOU needed? Not what your clients want. Not what your competitors are doing. Not what you think you should want. What you actually need, in this season of your life and business. Because that's what choosing yourself really looks like. And it's a lot more practical than it sounds. In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper I'm talking about what choosing yourself actually looks like day to day in your business, because the version that gets talked about online often looks…

You don't have to earn the right to want more. You don't have to wait until you've fixed everything, lost the weight, hit the revenue goal, sorted out the team, cleared the debt, or finally stopped procrastinating. You're allowed to feel worthy of more right now. Exactly as you are. In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about worthiness. Because from working with thousands of entrepreneurs, I know that the strategy is almost never the problem. It's those quiet inner feelings of unworthiness that run everything from the background. The little habits that creep back in. The…

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about how to future-proof your business in the age of AI without spiralling into fear, because the skills that matter most are the ones technology can't replace.

Money blocks don't always show up as obvious sabotage. Sometimes they look like generosity. Like being affordable. Like working really hard to earn your money. Like staying loyal to clients who've outgrown your boundaries. The sneaky ones are the hardest to spot. Because they feel completely reasonable. They even feel like good values. In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about the subtle ways money blocks can show up in your business, because you can't shift what you can't see.

Are you doing everything right in your business but still hitting an invisible ceiling on your income? In this episode, Denise walks you through the 7 most common money blocks she sees in entrepreneurs — and more importantly, what to actually do about each one. These blocks rarely look like blocks. They look like generosity, caution, thoroughness, or just not being quite ready yet. But they're quietly running your pricing, your receiving, your goal-setting, and your launches.In this episode you'll hear: What a money block actually is (and why you don't need to eliminate them to be…

Here's something I want you to hear. You don't reach a certain income level and suddenly have it all figured out. The money mindset work doesn't stop at six figures. It doesn't stop at seven. It just... evolves. Sometimes it's new challenges you've never seen coming. And sometimes, honestly, it's the same old stuff showing up again and going: hi, remember me? In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm talking about how to upgrade your money mindset at every stage of business, because there is no finish line with this work. There is just growth, and the awareness to keep going.

In this week's episode of Chill & Prosper, I'm walking through the top money blocks I see keeping entrepreneurs stuck, because whenever you hit a plateau, it's always worth going back to the basics and asking: where have these old stories crept back in?

Today’s podcast episode is a personal one. I’m talking about ADHD and entrepreneurship - and sharing a bit about my own journey being diagnosed later in life. For years I thought I was just disorganised.I forgot my keys constantly.I always felt behind.And I often felt like everyone else had things figured out except me. Then I was diagnosed with ADHD in my 40s. And suddenly… things made sense. But this episode isn’t just about ADHD. It’s about something much bigger: 👉 What happens when you stop trying to run your business like everyone elseand start designing it around how you actually work…

Let’s shift focus. Today we’re not talking about your money personality, but your customers. It’s time to look at the type of customers you are and should be attracting and how this might affect your business. Once you understand more about your customer’s Money Archetypes you can create more impactful marketing and more valuable support and products. Why do you need to know this? Well, marketing is all about motivation and sales is understanding who your customers are and what drives them. When you try to market to everyone, you won’t get great results and it’s hard to stand out when…

Let’s talk about something a little uncomfortable - but incredibly common. Copying other people. Not intentionally. Not maliciously. Just… unconsciously doing things the way your mentors, peers, or industry say you should. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking where copycatting shows up most often - and how to gently break free from it without shame or embarrassment.

Today’s episode of Chill & Prosper is about something we’ve all experienced at some point. Bad business advice. Or at least… advice that didn’t work for us. Because here’s the truth: there isn’t really such a thing as universally bad advice. What works brilliantly for one person might be completely wrong for someone else. Your personality, your energy, your lifestyle and your season of life all matter. In this episode I share some of the strange and funny business ideas I tried early on (including an ebook for men about internet dating and a program called Raw Brides 😅).

One of the hardest parts of running your own business? The decisions. So many decisions. When you work for yourself, the buck stops with you. There’s no boss to ask, no one else to blame, and sometimes it feels like every decision lands on your desk. No wonder so many entrepreneurs get stuck in analysis paralysis. And this month we’ve been talking a lot about money sabotage, because second-guessing yourself and overthinking every step is one of the most common ways we hold ourselves back. We tell ourselves we’re being careful, or strategic, or responsible… but sometimes we’re really just…

One of the biggest reasons people start a business is freedom - and yet so many of us feel less free than ever. Guilty about resting.Scared to step away.Convinced everything will fall apart if we’re not there. And here’s something that might be uncomfortable to hear: when we refuse to take time off, avoid delegating, or feel like everything depends on us, it can actually become a form of self-sabotage. Because if your business only works when you’re constantly present, it will eventually cap your energy, your growth, and your income. In this week’s Chill & Prosper episode, I’m talking about…

Let’s talk about money sabotage. Not in a harsh, “what’s wrong with you?” way - but in a compassionate, this actually makes sense way. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking the sneaky ways we sabotage ourselves in business and money - often without even realising we’re doing it.
