  • 301: Resilience, Burnout, and the Power of Self-Compassion – with Dr. Olivia Ong

    301: Resilience, Burnout, and the Power of Self-Compassion – with Dr. Olivia Ong
    Mar 26 2025

    What would you do if everything you worked for came to a crashing halt?

    Our guest today, Dr. Olivia Ong, has a truly incredible story – one not just of resilience, grit, and ‘pushing through the pain’... but one of self-compassion.

    After a horrible accident, Olivia was told by her doctor that she would never walk again, never practice medicine again and that her life would completely change.

    Instead of giving up hope, Olivia has transformed her experience into helping others remember the importance of self-compassion and the prevention of burnout.

    Here Are Some Takeaways From the Episode:

    -> Dr Olivia Ong’s remarkable story of healing after a life-changing spinal cord injury (+ the unexpected path she found).

    -> Why self-compassion is far more powerful than self-criticism (especially when you are on a journey of healing, navigating burnout, or facing challenges).

    -> The surprising reason why willpower and ‘pushing through the pain’ isn’t the best path forward.

    -> Why so many women are unknowingly addicted to busyness and the toll it takes on our brains and bodies.

    -> The 3 clear signs you’re heading toward burnout – exhaustion, disconnection, and loss of purpose – and how you can spot them early.

    -> How Olivia describes burnout using the “energy bank account” analogy (and why many women don’t realise they’re in burnout until they are “overdrawn”).

    -> Practical, science-backed ways to interrupt the burnout cycle and stop it from becoming a repeat pattern in your business and life.

    -> How to use “micro-moments of self-compassion” to reset your nervous system throughout the day.

    -> Olivia’s “No, but…” strategy to help you set boundaries without feeling guilty.

    -> The real cost of ignoring rest, and how cortisol overload leads to brain fog, inflammation, and chronic stress.

    If YOU have ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in that nasty cycle of burnout… this episode will give you practical tools and a whole new way to think about success, recovery, and self-compassion.

    300: Celebrating 300 Episodes: Inspiring Insights from 5 Business Icons — Amy Porterfield, Marie Forleo, Danielle LaPorte, Kim Kiyosaki, and Gabby Bernstein
    Mar 19 2025
    We’ve hit 300 episodes! Back in 2009, I recorded the first-ever HerBusiness Podcast episode with no idea what I was doing. But what I DID know was that women in business had incredible stories to share – stories of resilience, success, and transformation. Now, after 300 episodes, we’ve interviewed hundreds of inspiring women, shared countless stories (not to mention strategies), and built an incredible community of women business owners. So today, we’re celebrating. In this special milestone episode, I’ve pulled together some of the most inspiring interviews from five all-star women who have shaped the world of business, leadership, and personal growth. These are role models and business ‘titans’ – women who have fought to get where they are today and are now sharing how to do the same with you. In This Episode, You’ll Hear From: Amy Porterfield – Online business and digital course expert on breaking free from limiting beliefs and stepping into your version of success authentically. Marie Forleo – #1 bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable on creating success on your terms and knowing exactly when to say yes (and when to say NO) ← This is GOLD! Danielle LaPorte – Heart-centred leader, personal development author, and philanthropist who focuses on redefining success and aligning your goals with what truly matters to you. ← You’ll love knowing you don’t have to PUSH to achieve. Kim Kiyosaki – Investor, entrepreneur, and financial educator on financial independence and embracing being a business owner (+ how to escape the ‘self-employed’ mindset that keeps women working too hard for a small return). Gabby Bernstein – Multiple-time New York Times bestselling author, explains how to manifest success, align with your highest potential, and take action that is true to you. ← This is a nervous-system-calmer!

    299: 7 Thoughts Stopping You from Making More Money (and How to Change Them)
    Mar 12 2025

    Are you unknowingly holding yourself BACK from earning MORE? There are 7 limiting beliefs that women business owners often tell themselves – beliefs that keep them undercharging, overworking, and second-guessing their success.

    In this episode, we are addressing those limiting beliefs head-on and talking about how to shift your thinking in order to leave more room for growth.

    And these aren’t just “mindset tips”, they are backed by research, real-life success stories, and proven strategies that have helped women business owners increase their revenue.

    If you’ve ever thought…

    “Making that amount of money is for other people, not ME.”
    “If I want more money, I’ll need to work twice as hard.”
    “If I start making more, the people in my life will think of me differently.”

    … then this episode is for you.

    What You’ll Learn in this Episode:

    -> Why your mindset around money directly impacts your revenue (and what the science and research shows!)

    -> The hidden beliefs keeping women from charging what they are actually worth.

    -> How tweaking your thoughts around money can change everything for you and your business.

    -> Why making more money does NOT mean working harder or longer hours.

    -> The #1 shift that helps you become the financially confident version of yourself.

    -> Why you need to stop prioritising others' judgements before your ability to grow and succeed.

    -> And, you’ll get a special invitation to our upcoming Profitable Business Workshop for Women Business Owners on Wednesday, 19 March.
