From burnout to brave: Reclaiming my voice in business

Today I did something I’ve never done before - a news interview.

I talk about money, tax, and business every day.

But this? This was different.

This was stepping out of my comfort zone, putting myself in the spotlight, and backing myself, even with the nerves. And you know what? I loved it!

A few years ago, burnout shook my confidence. I questioned everything. So this isn’t just an interview, it’s a chance to reclaim my voice, my confidence, my expertise and my place in the world.

But I couldn’t have done it without the quiet confidence boost from Sarah, my biggest fan.

It reminded me just how powerful it is to have an energetic tribe and hype squad in your corner. Sometimes, it’s not about having someone pushing you, it’s about them holding space for you to remember who you are. The right people don’t just cheer you on, they reflect your potential back to you until you see it too.

The joy and energy we share with our clients at Crecera? I got to experience that for myself today. And that is exactly what this community is built for: to help small biz owners feel supported, seen, and capable of doing absolutely anything.

We’re not just here to talk strategy and spreadsheets (although we love those too). We’re here to light the fire in people again. To be the reminder that you’re not alone in business. That someone sees you, gets it, and believes in your success, even when you’re doubting it yourself.

I’ve spent decades in this game. I know I can help people, but I had to realise what an impact that support can really have again too. And I did.

I’m so proud of myself. And I’m so proud to be the co-founder of a business that’s shaking things up for the better. A business that doesn’t just provide tools and resources, it builds belief.

So here’s to every brave business owner doing the scary thing. Even when you’re nervous and have butterflies swirling around in your stomach. Even when your voice shakes. And your palms sweat and that little voice inside you says...what am I doing?!

Do it anyway. Because your voice matters.

And you never know who needs to hear it, or what new doors will open when you finally speak up.
