  180. THE STANDARD OF EXCELLENCE WITH CHLOE FORD 15.09.2026 1h 11min

  Why are you taking life advice from the friend who's never had to live in your body? I sits down with health, fitness and business strategist Chloe Ford for an unfiltered chat about raising your standards, why "enabling friends" keep you stuck, and the difference between reading about personal development and actually doing it. They get into discipline versus hustle culture, why B-plus effort beats waiting for a perfect day, and why self-trust — not motivation — is what actually gets you resu...

  179. GIVE YOURSELF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED 08.09.2026 29min

  You don't become a new person the day the money hits your account — you become more of who you already were, one purchase and one decision at a time. In this episode I unpack why entrepreneurship really is the ultimate personal development tool — because it gives you the funds, time and safety to finally become the person you were always meant to be. I trace it back to my teenage self reading Vogue, why I sold my Pilates studio to stop denying my true identity, and how a $472 Dior makeup clas...

  In this deeply personal birthday episode, I get real about the last five years of Professional Babe — the same hotel room where I shot my original branding photos, the financial milestones, and the mindset work that got me here and why self-belief is the real constant behind every result I've had. Key Topics Covered: Why self-belief is the real growth strategyThe money mindset shift behind paying myself a six-figure salary and building a growth fundHow I lost 14 kilos through incremental, con...

  177. GREAT WORK NEEDS CLIENTS GOOD ENOUGH TO SHOW IT OFF (CONTROVERSIAL AND I'M GOING THERE) 25.08.2026 33min

  You can be the best in the room and still look average — if the people you're working with won't rise to meet you. This episode is about the client calibre problem nobody wants to name. If you're an expert who feels flat, uninspired, or like you're dragging people across the line, the issue probably isn't your skill — it's that your work can't be expressed in its highest form until you're working with clients capable of living up to the standard. Key Topics Covered: Why A-grade work nee...

  176. HOW TO SELL EXPENSIVE THINGS 17.08.2026 36min

  The strategy and the mindset behind selling premium offers — and why being called expensive should be a compliment. Most people lead with their cheapest offer and wonder why high-ticket sales feel impossible. This episode breaks down exactly how to build, position and sell expensive offers — from restructuring your offer suite and making your premium service the hero product, to the mindset work that lets you say a big number out loud without your voice breaking. Real pricing, real numbers, n...

  175. WE STARTED OUR BUSINESS TO BE OURSELVES 03.08.2026 32min

  We started our business to be ourselves — so why do so many of us still design the business we think we should have? In this episode of The Business Fondle, Peta unpacks what really happens when entrepreneurs get the freedom to build a business their way, but keep shrinking back into who they think they need to be. Sparked by a client's comment after Peta got called out for "looking too glam" to be doing content, this one covers the real cost of authenticity, why she got dropped from a major ...

  174. HOW TO BE CONFIDENT AS FUQ 27.07.2026 17min

  Confidence isn't something you're born with — it's evidence you've collected. And you already have more of it than you think. This episode is the pep talk I gave a friend who couldn't see himself the way everyone else sees him. We're unpacking why imposter syndrome, not pitching, not selling and not showing up are all the same problem wearing different outfits — and the exact process I use to build confidence in a brand new situation by borrowing proof from the parts of my life where I alread...

  173. PLAN YOUR MILLION DOLLAR YEAR LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY MADE IT 21.07.2026 41min

  You could hit a million dollars and still hate how you made it. Here's the process that stops that from happening. I'm walking you through Million Dollar You — the exact three-day immersion I just ran with my Business Bang clients — and the seven areas that have to be a 10/10 for your million-dollar year to actually feel good, not just look good on paper. Think of it like a tent: if one spoke is weak, the whole thing collapses, no matter how solid the rest looks. Key Topics Covered: Why hitti...

  172. SORRY I GHOSTED — I WAS BUSY PLANNING MY MILLION DOLLAR YEAR 13.07.2026 42min

  I'm making a million dollars this year — and it started with realising my goal was embarrassingly small. After 18 years in business, I'm declaring my million dollar year and taking you inside everything that shifted to get here. From scrapping a program format within two hours of a dead call, raising my prices across the board, and deciding clients basically need to audition to work with me — this is what raising the standard actually looks like. Also. Here's Chloe's Instagram! https://w...

  171. GO GET REJECTED 100 TIMES 06.07.2026 14min

  What if getting rejected 100 times was the fastest way to grow your business? In this episode I break down the 100 No's Challenge — the exercise I gave my clients that had one of them calling it "fucking impossible." Inspired by Brooke Castillo's urge-resisting jar, I've adapted it for entrepreneurs: go out and collect 100 genuine no's from bold, stretchy, salesy asks, and watch what happens to your confidence, your business, and your bank account along the way. Key Topics Covered: Why a "saf...

  170. BUILDING A MILLION DOLLAR AI BUSINESS WITH BROOKE WRIGHT FROM WRIGHT MODE 17.06.2026 1h 9min

  She turned a failed launch and a screen recording for one client into $40K — and that was just the beginning. Brooke Wright is back on the podcast, and this time the numbers are very different. When she was last here, she'd just hit her first $100K year. Now she's tracking $100K quarters, her membership has grown from 10 to 150 people, major global brands are sliding into her DMs, and she's founding Techella — a women's AI festival that went from idea to trademark in about two days.

  169. DECISIVENESS IS AN AURA 01.06.2026 16min

  Indecision isn't just a mindset problem — it's leaking out of your business and your clients can smell it. If you've been wondering why your perfect website, schmick feed, and polished assets aren't converting the way they should, this episode is your answer. I break down why decisiveness is one of the most powerful business strategies you can have, how indecision operates like a veil over everything you do, and why buyers are ultimately purchasing certainty — not content.

  167. WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR BUSINESS WHEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY? 08.04.2026 13min

  There's a belief that creeps in for almost every business owner on a winning streak: the moment you go quiet, it's all over. The momentum dies. You're starting from scratch. In this episode, I'm dismantling that myth completely. You've done will always outlast the frequency at which you did it. Key topics covered: Why good work stays with people long after they stop seeing youThe "muscle memory" principle applied to your business and contentWhy consistency is overrated and a body of work is e...

  166. BAD WORK IS GOOD BUSINESS 30.03.2026 18min

  164. WHAT 'DOING THE WORK' ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE 16.03.2026 15min

  Money loves speed — and your business results prove it. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the fastest path to results isn't working harder, it's closing the gap between decision and action. I share a real-time example of a Business Bang client who went from idea to 36 workshop sales in under a day, and exactly what separates experts who win from those who stay stuck in their heads.

  163. THE AVERAGE TUESDAY MORNING FANTASY 11.03.2026 16min

  Your Tuesday morning should feel just as sexy as your weekend — and if it doesn't, your business structure is the problem. In this episode, I'm sharing the "Average Tuesday Morning Fantasy" — a concept born from a broke, dehydrated walk around Newcastle 17 years ago — and why it's been one of the most powerful guiding principles in how I've built my business and my life. If you're clawing to the weekend or quietly resenting your business, this one's for you. Key Topics Covered: What the Avera...
