In this episode of the Confidently Visible podcast, I’m diving into the CEO habits every small business owner needs to cultivate - even if you have zero desire to build a corporation.

These habits aren’t about hustle, burnout or needing a fancy team. They’re about stepping into true leadership in your business, building confidence in your decision-making, and creating more spaciousness, alignment, and ease as you grow.

Whether you’re an executive, coach, consultant, creative or service-based entrepreneur, these habits will help you take back your time, think more strategically, and show up with confidence and clarity in your visibility journey.

Because when you treat yourself like the CEO of your business - you make more powerful decisions, take aligned action, and attract the opportunities meant for you.

✅ Why “CEO time” is the most valuable time in your calendar, and how to use it
✅ How to shift from stress into solution-mode (even on tough days)
✅ What it really means to invest in your business, and when to hold back
✅ The mindset shift that turns fear of learning into confidence-building

Welcome to episode 21 of the Confidently Visible podcast!

In this final episode of 2025, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my business and personal life to reflect on the year that was, including some of the wins as well as the hard parts - and to share what I’m intentionally calling in for 2026.

In 2025, self-care was my word and it became my anchor through some major transitions over the past few years. In this ep, I share what my word for 2026 is, and why I've chosen it.

This episode is both a reflection of the year that was, and an invitation for you to celebrate and reflect as well. Your efforts around visibility should honour the season you’re in, and in this episode I share how I’ve created that in the past – and how you can do it too in 2026.

What you'll learn in this episode:

• What self-care looked like in a year of healing and growth
• Some major business and personal milestones in 2025
• My 2026 word of the year, and why I’m choosing this
• The practices I’m using to reconnect with my inner wisdom
• What to expect from me and the podcast in 2026
• Journalling prompts to support your own end-of-year reflection
