How to Build a Six-Figure Business with One Signature Offer with Lauren Barlow

Women in Business, Gen Z Careers & the Truth About Mum Entrepreneurship with Robin Schweiger

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with a very special guest - her daughter, Robin. They have an unfiltered conversation about what building a business as a woman actually looks like from the inside and the front row. They answer your listener's questions, and talk about inherited work habits, the clash between caregiving and ambition, the illusion of freedom in entrepreneurship, and why Gen Z is both drawn to and wary of the entrepreneurial dream. They also explore stats for women‑led businesses, what kids really notice about always‑on work, and how both generations are redefining what a good, sustainable life at work actually means. Key Takeaways: Your work habits are inherited as much as designed. Growing up around hustle, burnout or structure shapes how you see work, risk and career - whether you copy it, rebel against it, or consciously choose something in between. Caregiving and ambition will always be in conversation. When you’re the one holding more of the mental and emotional load at home, it inevitably influences the risks you take, the pace you grow at, and what success feels safe to pursue. Entrepreneurship isn’t the shortcut to freedom it’s sold as. Flexible hours often come with fewer real breaks, more late nights, and a constant low‑level responsibility that follows you on holidays and into bed. The system is still skewed, but you’re not powerless. Even when funding and opportunity aren’t distributed equally, you still get to decide how you pitch, where you seek support, and whether you build something that can grow without permission. Every generation is rewriting what ‘a good life’ at work looks like. Younger women are questioning traditional paths, experimenting with entrepreneurship, and forcing a more honest conversation about trade‑offs, capacity and what they actually want their days to feel like.

What to Wear for Business, Menopause & Body Confidence with Savile Row Tailor Nooshin White

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with Nooshin, a women’s tailor working out of London’s iconic Savile Row, to talk about why what you wear as a woman in business is so much more than just clothes. Nooshin shares how tailoring became both her craft and her way of serving ambitious women who want their wardrobe to match the life they’re building. They explore confidence, menopause, surgery, changing bodies, post‑Covid workwear, motherhood, delegation, and why having a visiting tailor come to your office or home can be both deeply practical and quietly luxurious. Key Takeaways: Clothes can be a quiet strategy for confidence. The right pieces shift posture, presence and self‑belief, especially in rooms where you need to feel anchored and visible. Tailoring is about life transitions, not just looking smart. Thoughtful cuts and fabrics can hold you through promotions, menopause, surgery and body changes, not just make you look smart. Entrepreneurship is not as glamorous as it looks. Behind Savile Row showrooms are years of hustling, rebuilding after Covid and stretching every pound to keep a vision alive. It’s not just sipping champagne and making lots of money all the time.  Growth needs delegation and boundaries. You cannot scale a business by doing everything yourself; asking for help is part of serving clients better and protecting your energy.  Women’s networks are a business superpower. Generational role models and modern‑day allies make it easier to take risks, escalate decisions and keep going when things feel hard.

Breaking Generational Patterns and Limiting Beliefs as a Woman with Kirsty Mason

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy sits down with certified identity coach Kirsty Mason to explore what it really means to become the main character in your life and business. From being literally trained to stay invisible as a sign language interpreter, to standing on stages and leading women through deep mindset and nervous system work, Kirsty shares the messy, honest truth behind reinvention in your 30s and 40s. They talk about money stories, visibility fears, generational patterns, motherhood, relationships, and why surface-level ‘good vibes only’ mindset work will never create the freedom you’re craving. Key Takeaways: Your career can reflect your childhood beliefs Kirsty realised she had spent 16 years in a job that literally kept her quiet, mirroring a childhood belief that she ‘wasn’t important enough to be heard’. Once she saw this pattern, she understood why she had chosen a role that kept her in the shadows and why it no longer felt aligned. Deep mindset work goes beyond journaling What most of us consume online is surface-level mindset: gratitude lists, affirmations and ‘think positive’ content that doesn’t touch the beliefs we’ve carried for decades. True transformation needs subconscious work and nervous system regulation, not just nicer thoughts on paper. Your nervous system has an income ceiling too You can only earn as much as your nervous system can safely hold, which is why so many women hit the same money ceiling no matter how hard they work. Unless you work on your relationship with money and your capacity to receive, strategy alone will always feel like it’s not working. Success is personal, not a 10k month The online obsession with 5k and 10k months creates pressure, shame and comparison for women who are actually doing really well by their own standards. Success might look like freedom of choice, flexibility, or feeling present with your kids, not a number. Generational change starts in your living room Kirsty sees herself as a ‘generational chain breaker’, intentionally changing the language she uses, how she talks about money, and the way she models possibility to her children.  If you enjoyed this episode, you can connect with Kirsty on Instagram @kirsty_mason_coaching [https://www.instagram.com/kirsty_mason_coaching/].

Money Mindset for Women: How to Stop Overspending and Build Better Money Habits with Laura Ann Moore

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, I’m joined by Laura, a financial speaker, creator and host of the Mind Money Soul podcast, to talk about why your money problems don’t actually start with money. We get into her journey from saving £15,000 for drama school to deciding to spend it all on traveling the world instead, and how that experience led her into the world of financial psychology and helping women understand the emotional side of money. We talk about overspending as a coping mechanism, money leaks, money dates, investing fears and why wealth is about your whole life (not just your bank balance). Laura also shared an exclusive with us about her book launching later this year. Key Takeaways: Money is emotional before it’s practical. Most of us think money is about maths, spreadsheets and budgets, but the real driver is how you feel about yourself, your worth and your life - overspending, avoidance and chaos are often emotional responses, not being ‘bad with money’. Overspending is often self‑soothing. Impulse buys, ‘I’ve had a bad day’ splurges and constant treats can be a way to regulate stress, low self‑worth or feeling ‘not enough,’ especially for women sold the idea that we need more stuff to be acceptable. You can’t change what you won’t look at. Many women say they “can’t save” without actually knowing where their money goes; tracking spending and finding money leaks (unused subscriptions, endless Uber Eats) often reveals cash that could fund what they truly value. Budgeting isn’t about restriction, it’s about intention. Rich people budget too - they just give more to each category. A budget that matches your values helps you enjoy your life and move towards bigger goals instead of wondering where it all went. Regular money dates build confidence and relief. Sitting down monthly to review numbers, notice patterns, ask how money felt that month and adjust going forward turns money from a source of anxiety into a relationship you actually understand and feel in control of.

How to Build a Six-Figure Business with One Signature Offer with Lauren Barlow

In this episode of Unshakeable Talks, Katy is joined by Lauren, a lifestyle‑first business coach who helps solopreneur women build businesses that work around their lives, not the other way round. Lauren shares how she started her business during the pandemic, built it in just one focused hour a day while caring for her terminally ill granddad, and eventually realised she’d accidentally created her ‘worst nightmare’. The business she built had a complicated offer stack and launch calendar that left no room for real life. Lauren shares with us how simplifying to one core offer changed everything. Key Takeaways: Life will hit - build for it. At some point it will be illness, caregiving, kids, travel or sheer exhaustion, and your business model needs to be able to hold you through those seasons instead of collapsing the second you slow down.  You can grow with one focused hour a day. Growth comes from being intentional, strategic and focused, instead of spreading yourself thin across tasks that don’t ‘move the needle’. Many ‘good’ businesses are secretly unsustainable. A full calendar, stacked offers and constant launches can look successful but feel like a house of cards when everything relies on you being on, available and at your desk 24/7. One core offer can unlock real freedom. Shifting from multiple programs, courses and launches into one signature offer is really all you need to have a successful business AND spaciousness to travel, rest and actually have a life. Honest self‑audits come before change. You can’t design a lifestyle‑first business if you won’t admit what’s actually burning you out, what’s not working anymore, and what needs to go, even if it’s currently ‘working’ on paper.

You can also listen to Lauren’s free 5-part private podcast called "Simply Scaling to 6-Figures [https://laurenellenbarlow.kit.com/simply-scaling]" about how to take one single offer to the 6-figure lifetime mark.
