Fox Talks Business Podcast

Feeling overwhelmed in your business? You've probably been told it's because you have too much to do. I'm calling that out. In this episode, I break down the real reasons you feel overwhelmed - and no, it's not a time problem. It's about the decisions you're avoiding, the capacity you're ignoring, and the emotional weight you're carrying. We're talking about: Why indecision is draining your energy more than action How not trusting your own plan is keeping you stuck The truth about your actual capacity (vs. the fantasy version) And how to finally simplify what's on your plate If you're busy all day but feel like nothing is moving, this episode is your wake-up call.

Hiring a business coach can be one of the most powerful investments you make in your business...but only if you know how to use it.  In this episdoe I break down what business coaching actually is (and what it's not), why some entrepreneurs feel like coaching "didn't work", and the habits that help clients get real results.  What you'll learn: What business coaching should actually provide Why implementation matters more than inspiration  The habits that help you get the most from coaching How to know if cocaching is the right step for you If you're considering hiring a coach, or already working with one, this episode will help you make the most of that investment. 

Everyone loves the idea of "having a book." But let's be honest… most business owners have no clue what that book is supposed to do once it exists. In this episode, Ally Machate, founder of The Writer's Ally and publishing expert with over 25 years of industry experience, breaks down the truth about writing and publishing a book for your business without the hype, confusion, or fairy-tale nonsense. We dig into the myths that trap entrepreneurs, including the dangerous "write it and they will come" mentality, and unpack what actually makes a book valuable, strategic, and profitable. Inside this conversation, you'll learn: • How to know if it's the right time to write a book • Why most business books fail to generate results • How to choose a book idea that supports your business goals • The real differences between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and self-publishing • Why a book is not a product, it's a business tool • What makes a book marketable (and what quietly kills it) If you've ever had "write a book" sitting on your vision board, your to-do list… this episode is for you.

Money is supposed to be logical. So why does it feel so emotional? In this episode, Tanya dives into the often-ignored truth behind financial stress: money habits are rarely about math -  they're about feelings. Fear, avoidance, pressure, self-worth, and past experiences quietly shape how we manage (or avoid) our numbers. If checking your bank account creates tension… If budgeting feels restrictive or frustrating… If you know what to do but still struggle to do it… This episode will hit home. You'll learn why money feels so heavy for many business owners, how emotional patterns drive financial behaviours, and how to start building a calmer, healthier relationship with your numbers  without dramatic overhauls or perfectionism. Because your budget probably isn't broken. But your relationship with money might need a reset.

Growth mindset gets thrown around a lot… but what does it actually look like in real life? In this episode, I sit down with Francie Jain for a refreshingly honest conversation about entrepreneurship, failure, feedback, and why success is far messier (and more personal) than social media would have you believe. We dive into: • Why entrepreneurship isn't necessarily "in your blood" • The dangerous illusion of comparing yourself to other businesses • Revenue vs profit (yes, there's a BIG difference) • How growth mindset really works when things go sideways • Psychological safety, feedback, and "hearing what wasn't said" • Why a rising tide truly lifts all boats This episode is equal parts mindset shift, reality check, and laughter - because building a business is serious… but you don't have to take yourself so seriously. If you've ever questioned whether you're "cut out" for entrepreneurship or felt stuck comparing your progress to others, this conversation will hit home.

If you've ever created a budget, felt good about it… and then watched it fall apart when life happened, this episode is for you. Higher bills. Surprise charges. Things breaking that definitely weren't in the plan. That doesn't mean you failed. It means your budget is doing exactly what it's supposed to do: evolve. In this episode, I'm breaking down why a "set it and forget it" budget is one of the biggest money myths out there, and how treating your budget as a living tool can actually bring more calm, clarity, and confidence into your finances (and your business). We'll talk about: Why budgets don't stop working The real reason people abandon their budgets How to adjust without starting over What a healthy, sustainable budget practice actually looks like Your budget isn't meant to be perfect. It's meant to support you. So let's get it there.  🎧 Listen in and then ask yourself: Where do I need flexibility instead of perfection?

What if taking care of your health wasn't another thing on your to-do list… but part of how you grow a sustainable business? In this episode, Tanya sits down with wellness expert, entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Jenn Trepek to talk about the real connection between health, energy, confidence, and business success, especially for women who are already carrying a lot. This is not a "wake up at 5am and run a marathon" conversation. Instead, Jenn breaks down: Why motivation is overrated and what actually works instead How burnout, energy crashes, and inconsistency show up in your business Why "all or nothing" thinking keeps you stuck (in health and money) How small, consistent choices create real momentum Why taking care of yourself is not selfish it's strategic If you've ever felt like you know what you should be doing for your health but can't seem to stick to it… or if you're trying to grow a business while running on fumes, this episode will hit home. Because the truth is simple: you are your business, and when you're depleted, everything else feels harder. 🎧 Tune in, listen, and see how shifting a few small things can change how you show up everywhere else.

Have you ever worried that if you step away from your business, everything will fall apart? In this solo episode, I share what I've learned after decades in business: most people don't really notice when you step away, but they always notice when you come back. I'm going to break down: Why intentional rest doesn't erase your relevance How fear-based pricing and constant discounting quietly undermine your value The difference between discounting and offering less value for a lower price Why undercharging makes rest feel risky and "no's" feel personal This episode is a no-fluff conversation about rest, pricing, sustainability, and building a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.  

Social media is FULL of money advice...but let's be honest, a lot of it should come with a giant warning label.  In this episode we burn down the five biggest money myths that are keeping entrepreneurs overwhelmed, underpaid, and constantly questioning themselves. If you've ever comapred your business to someones else's highlight reel and thought, "Why isn't this working for me?" - this one is going to hit home.  🔥 Inside this episode, you'll learn: • Why "charging your worth" is actually dangerous advice • The truth behind "six figures in six months" (and what they don't tell you) • What passive income really requires - and why you don't need it to be successful • The role mindset plays (and when it turns into magical thinking) • Why a small audience can make you big money • The real formula for financial clarity and sustainable growth This episode is your permission slip to run your business with clarity, not comparison and to stop letting hype, half-truths, and curated feeds dictate your strategy. If one of these myths smacked you in the face today, send me a message and tell me which one. I'll point you in the right direction or we can book a strategy session and dig in together. Because your business gets simpler the moment your money starts making sense.

If you've ever wondered how to get your business in front of more people without throwing more money at ads, this episode is for you.  PR expert Jenny Beres, co-founder of Pink Shark PR, Joins me to talk about the real power of storytelling, visibility, and why small-business owners need to stop playing small when it comes to getting media exposure.  We dive into: Why your story matters more than your product How to connect with the media (and what not to do when pitching) The mindset shift that helps you own your expertise and take up space How authentic storytelling builds trust, attracts opportunity, and drives revene for years This conversation will remind you that your story is your strategy. Tune in and learn how to make it work for your business.  After you listen, share your biggest takeaway - I'd love to hear your story! 

Stop trying to do it all — it's costing you more than you think. Most women entrepreneurs wait way too long to hire help because they're worried no one can do it "as well as they do." But here's the truth: you're not saving money by keeping control… you're just slowing your growth. In this week's episode, I sit down with Cathy Baillargeon, founder of a U.S.-based VA agency, to break down: ⚙️ What to delegate first (even if you're not "ready") 🚩 Red flags when hiring a VA — and how to avoid wasting money 💡 Why the right support actually makes you more profitable If your inbox is chaos, your to-do list never ends, and your brain is screaming for breathing room… this one's for you.       Collaborate with me on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tanya-fox...
