#awinewith Elisa Choy, Founder of Quantum Energy Shift  In this episode we talked about... * Your biggest blocks often aren’t about strategy or knowledge - they’re subconscious patterns, fears, and beliefs that keep you stuck, even when you know exactly what to do.  * Healing and personal growth don’t always happen slowly. Sometimes one major life event can completely shift your perspective, relationships, business, and identity almost instantly.  * Building a business from hustle, fear, and proving yourself creates burnout. Building from alignment, calm, and self-trust creates something far more sustainable.  * The breast cancer diagnosis that changed a business.  * Your past experiences, failures, pivots, and challenges aren’t wasted - they become the “fertile soil” that allows you to help, connect with, and serve others in a meaningful way.  * We often already know what needs to change in our lives, but fear, conditioning, or subconscious resistance stop us from taking action. Real transformation happens when we reconnect with ourselves deeply enough to actually hear the message.  * Success, peace, and confidence don’t come from becoming someone else - they come from returning to yourself, trusting yourself, and creating a life and business that feel aligned with who you really are.   Get more SPARK in your business…  SPARK Instagram Community |  [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]Instagraminstagram.com/sparkbusiness.global [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]  FREE SPARK CEO Scorecard |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard]SparkbusinessFREE The SPARK CEO Scorecard — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard] $15k Quarterly Cash Grants for Women in Business |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants]Sparkbusiness2026 SPARK Biz Grants — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants] Join The SPARK CEO Hub |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]SparkbusinessThe SPARK CEO Hub 2026 — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]   Thank you to IP Australia for supporting the SPARK podcast and women in business.

A wine with: Taryn Watson

#awinewith Taryn Watson, Founder of Fit Right Women's Health  In this episode we talked about... * Growth means nothing without sustainability - a business can look successful externally while struggling financially behind the scenes. Profitability, strong systems, and financial stability matter more than rapid growth alone.  * COVID became the catalyst for a complete business reset, forcing difficult changes that ultimately created a more profitable and scalable clinic model.  * Finding the right business partner can transform a business — complementary skill sets across leadership, finance, operations, and marketing created far greater stability and growth.  * Being an expert in your field doesn’t automatically prepare you to run a business. Investing in coaching, mentorship, and business education became a major turning point.  * Storytelling and education became powerful marketing tools, helping build trust and community through honest conversations about women’s health and consistent content.  * Perseverance and long-term vision matter during hard seasons of business — continuing to trust the process and move forward step by step was one of the biggest lessons shared throughout the episode.   Get more SPARK in your business…  SPARK Instagram Community |  [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]Instagraminstagram.com/sparkbusiness.global [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]  FREE SPARK CEO Scorecard |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard]SparkbusinessFREE The SPARK CEO Scorecard — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard] $15k Quarterly Cash Grants for Women in Business |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants]Sparkbusiness2026 SPARK Biz Grants — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants] Join The SPARK CEO Hub |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]SparkbusinessThe SPARK CEO Hub 2026 — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]   Thank you to IP Australia for supporting the SPARK podcast and women in business.

A wine with: Rebekah Pozzoli

#awinewith Rebekah Pozzoli, Founder of Intuitive Mummas  In this episode we talked about... * How Bek turned a deeply isolating motherhood experience into a business that creates real community.  * Building a business from a genuine gap in the market can create powerful impact.  * Sometimes the best business ideas come in your hardest seasons, not your easiest ones.  * Growing organically through word of mouth, flyers and local connections still works.  * Balancing motherhood, study, work and business requires constant prioritising and flexibility.  * Verbal agreements can become very expensive lessons in business.  * Protecting your intellectual property, systems and admin access matters from day one.  * Resilience in business often comes from believing in the mission when things fall apart.  * Your business can evolve as you evolve, and that is not a weakness.  * Women in business do not need to have it all figured out before they begin.  Get more SPARK in your business…  SPARK Instagram Community |  [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]Instagraminstagram.com/sparkbusiness.global [https://www.instagram.com/sparkbusiness.global/]  FREE SPARK CEO Scorecard |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard]SparkbusinessFREE The SPARK CEO Scorecard — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/the-spark-ceo-scorecard] $15k Quarterly Cash Grants for Women in Business |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants]Sparkbusiness2026 SPARK Biz Grants — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-women-in-business-grants] Join The SPARK CEO Hub |  [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]SparkbusinessThe SPARK CEO Hub 2026 — SPARK [https://sparkbusiness.global/spark-ceo-hub]   Thank you to IP Australia for supporting the SPARK podcast and women in business.
