Beschreibung

In this episode of Wildly Intentional, Flick and Verity dive into a topic that many business owners experience but don't always talk about openly: rejection. Whether it's a client saying no, an unanswered email, a piece of content that doesn't perform as expected, or a message that's interpreted the wrong way, rejection can feel intensely personal — especially for those with ADHD. The ladies explore Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD), how it can show up in both business and everyday life, and the impact it can have on confidence, decision-making and relationships. Sharing their own experiences, they talk honestly about the emotional response that can come with perceived rejection and the strategies they've developed to navigate it. From client communication and networking to social media and self-worth, this episode is packed with relatable moments, practical insights and plenty of reassurance that you're not the only one who feels this way. If you've ever found yourself overthinking a message, reading between the lines, or questioning yourself after receiving feedback, this conversation will feel very familiar.  Subscribe to Wildly Intentional for weekly bold conversations on business growth, mindset and building a business that actually works for you.  Come and say "hello" to us online - you can find Wildly Intentional Podcast on Facebook and Instagram.

Episode 22. Camping Chaos, Trauma Bonding, and Wild Women Cover

22. Camping Chaos, Trauma Bonding, and Wild Women

⚠️ Content note: This episode includes discussion of grief, loss and traumatic life experiences. In this episode of Wildly Intentional, Flick and Verity take a slightly different path, blending heartfelt reflection with plenty of laughter and the kind of conversations that happen when two friends sit down with no agenda other than seeing where the chat takes them. The ladies reflect on some significant anniversaries that have shaped their lives, and how discovering unexpected similarities in their experiences has strengthened their friendship over time. They explore the idea of "trauma bonding" (perhaps not in the clinical sense!) and how shared life experiences can create deeper understanding, connection and support. But don't worry – this isn't a heavy episode from start to finish. Verity returns with an update on her evolving camping obsession, which has now progressed from tents to campervans. Unsurprisingly, her enthusiasm continues to outpace her experience, leading to some very entertaining stories. Thankfully, Flick is on hand with actual camping knowledge, practical wisdom and a healthy dose of amusement. This episode is a reminder that life is rarely one thing at a time. Sometimes the deepest conversations happen alongside the biggest laughs, and sometimes friendship is built through both.  Subscribe to Wildly Intentional for weekly bold conversations on business growth, mindset and building a business that actually works for you.  Come and say "hello" to us online - you can find Wildly Intentional Podcast on Facebook and Instagram.

20. What We’d Do Differently If We Started Again in 2026

If we could go back and start our businesses again today, what would we do differently? In this episode of Wildly Intentional, Flick and Verity put themselves in the shoes of brand-new business owners and explore the lessons they've learned from years of building, evolving and growing their businesses. From branding and marketing to networking, business structure and strategy, they reflect on the decisions that helped them move forward, the mistakes they wouldn't repeat, and the advice they'd give themselves if they were starting from scratch in 2026. This isn't about regrets. It's about perspective. Whether you're in your first year of business or your tenth, this conversation is packed with honest reflections, practical insights and reminders that there is no perfect path to success. If you've ever wondered whether you're focusing on the right things, spending your time wisely or making life harder than it needs to be, this episode is for you.  Subscribe to Wildly Intentional for weekly bold conversations on business growth, mindset and building a business that actually works for you.  Come and say "hello" to us online - you can find Wildly Intentional Podcast on Facebook and Instagram.

Episode 19. Values, Visibility & Difficult Conversations Cover

19. Values, Visibility & Difficult Conversations

In this episode of Wildly Intentional, Flick and Verity have an honest and thoughtful conversation about values, visibility and the responsibility that can come with having a platform online. Following recent discussions around trans rights and the EHRC ruling, they explore the impact these conversations can have on people, workplaces and the wider business community. Flick shares why she chose to publicly post about her values on social media, why visibility and allyship matter to her, and what happened when that post attracted an online troll. Together, they talk about navigating disagreement online, responding from a place of intention rather than reaction, and why leading with your values can help attract the right people into your business and community. This episode also explores the importance of curiosity, education and nuance when discussing topics we may not fully understand — and why fear-based content and sensationalised statistics can often do more harm than good. As always, this isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having open, respectful conversations and encouraging business owners to think intentionally about how they show up online.  Subscribe to Wildly Intentional for weekly bold conversations on business growth, mindset and building a business that actually works for you.  Come and say "hello" to us online - you can find Wildly Intentional Podcast on Facebook and Instagram.
