How to Outsource to give you back time and freedom
Slow Down and Thrive
01/31/23 • 24 min
Have you ever thought about outsourcing but you’re not sure how to go about it or think you don’t really need it? And it’s not just for those of us that are in business!
Outsourcing is really important, and I believe is the secret weapon to a lifestyle that is a lot healthier and allows you to take back control of your life and not be so busy with things that don’t bring you joy!
If there is a task in your life and you don’t get joy from it, it's taking up time, it doesn't require any of your skills, it's not advancing your life in any way, that is a perfect task for outsourcing.
In todays episode I talk about:
- How to recognise what is best to outsource in your life and how to do it.
- How I started outsourcing my work.
- Hiring people for personality skills and that have better systems than you, or it’s just simply their genius!
- How to buy back your time and money.

Welcome to the first episode! A bit about me and where we’re going’
Slow Down and Thrive
11/01/22 • 17 min
Welcome to the Slow Down and Thrive podcast! A bit more about me and my journey.
There's so much conversation around: if you work really hard, you're going to get to where you want to go. And while of course, that's true, I really believe there's a different way and easier way.
I've definitely worked hard, I've done the hustle, I've been burned out, I've had adrenal fatigue, and come out the other side, having learnt a lot. And having learned how to work with my energy, how to rest when I need to rest, how to work smarter, not harder, and still have a really beautiful thriving life and business.
In this first episode I dive into:
- How to listen to ourselves more and not the conditioning that we may have learned from our parents, that narrative that’s really been running the show that just isn’t true for us
- A bit more about me and my journey from burnt out business owner to slowing down and thriving and what that’s looked like
- Working with alignment of our energy, knowing when to take action, knowing when's the right time to move on things and knowing when's the right time to just stop.
- Do you need rest or are you just procrastinating?
- Why I’m no longer scared of Mondays, trusting the ebb and flow and what my days and weeks look like now
- The importance of mindset, listening to our bodies, our own intuition and how COVID and lockdowns played a part in this unfolding for me
So you may be at the start of a business, you might be in the middle of running a business, you might work for someone else, you might not work at all. But I think it's a conversation that is for everyone.
