It is hard, it is raw, and we also wanna deliver you all the tips and tricks you need to learn about business too.
IN LOVE: How are you trekking in your relationship as a couple in business? Are you respecting each other? Are you finding it hard to toe the line between business and home? Do you squabble like husband and wife like you do at home when you are in 'work mode?' It is not easy to maintain a relationship and business at the same time. But the relationship should be #1 at all costs! Learn how to improve on this.
IN LIFE - do you have one or is your business taking over? Many couples need permission to actually have a life. The tradie thinks if he doesn't work he doesn't get paid - but you need some semblance of balance too. So how do you strike it?? First you need to be clear about what you want and how you want your life to look both now and into the future. Otherwise - you can just wander aimlessly with no real plans as to what you want your business to provide.

EP. 48: Sleepless No More: How Mel Helps Kids (and Parents) Get Their Nights Back
This week Kate is joined by her old friend Mel from The Little Sleeping Baby for a conversation that every parent with little ones needs to hear.
Kate first met Mel years ago in Bendigo, when they were both diving into personal development. Back then, Mel had dreams of working with kids, but instead of becoming a teacher she became a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant. And as you’ll hear, it all started with her own son’s sleepless nights and the strain it put on her family.
WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE
- Mel’s journey from sleepless mum to certified sleep consultant
- The signs you might be tolerating more than you need to
- How sleep struggles affect the whole family, not just the child
- Why fear, guilt, and shame hold parents back from seeking help
- The power of personalised sleep plans and ongoing support
- How consistency (and a little tough love) can transform your nights
KEY TAKEAWAY ✨
Sometimes it’s just one or two tweaks that stand between you and a full night’s sleep. You don’t have to hit rock bottom before asking for help.
