This Christmas Day episode is a moment to pause, reflect and say thank you.

In this final episode of 2025, Stephanie looks back on a year of conversations, learning and growth on The 3Bz Podcast. From powerful guest episodes to honest solo conversations, this episode pulls together the themes that mattered most to business owners this year.

We talk about the topics that resonated, the questions that kept coming up and the lessons that shaped how we think about running better businesses. There’s also a look at the numbers behind the podcast (because as you know, data matters when you’re making informed decisions in business) including over 2,500 downloads across podcast platforms, 3,000+ YouTube views and 34,000 impressions this year!

Most importantly, this episode is about you. What you’ve found helpful, what you want more of and what you’d like to hear in 2026 and beyond. This podcast is built around real business owners, real conversations and practical support and your feedback shapes what comes next.

Thank you to every guest who gave their time, every listener who tuned in on the school run, dog walk or coffee break, and everyone who shared an episode with someone who needed it.

The next episode lands on 1 January, kicking off 2026 with Natalie Potts, all about planning for the year ahead.

Merry Christmas and thank you for being part of The 3Bz Podcast.

In this episode of The 3Bz Podcast, Stephanie is joined by Natalie Edwards, founder of Made in the Button Room, an eco-conscious crochet business proving that slow, creative work still has a powerful place in modern business.

We talk about how a hobby started at home can grow into a full-time business, the importance of sustainability beyond buzzwords, and why creativity, community and fun are not “nice to haves”, they’re strategic.

Natalie shares what it’s really like to run a handmade business from home, how she’s built a recognisable brand through playful design and storytelling and why being part of the right business community can make all the difference when you’re doing it on your own.

If you’ve ever wondered whether a passion project could become something more, or how to run a business that aligns with your values without losing momentum, then this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

The Autumn Budget wasn’t just about businesses, it impacts every one of us as individuals too.

In this episode of The 3Bz Podcast, I’m breaking down what the 2025 Autumn Budget means for everyday people: employees, families, renters, savers and pensioners. From frozen thresholds to rising savings tax and the new mansion levy, I’ll walk you through what’s changing, what it really means for your pocket, and the steps you can take now to prepare.

We’ll cover:

The “stealth tax” effect of frozen income thresholds

What the minimum wage rise actually means after deductions

Increases in savings and property income tax

Updates on pensions, benefits and cost-of-living support

What to review right now to protect your finances before 2027

The 2025 UK Autumn Budget dropped and there’s a lot in there for business owners to digest. In this episode of The 3Bz Podcast, I’m breaking down the budget announcements from Wednesday and cutting through the noise. We’ll unpack tax changes, possible business-rate shifts, what could hit your cash flow and where you might still find opportunity.

Whether you’re a sole trader, a small company, or growing fast, I’ll help you spot what matters, what to watch carefully, and what to act on quickly to protect your profits and plan ahead. Head over to https://linktr.ee/abcsuk if you want help making sense of what this Budget means for your business.

Back by popular demand, data strategist Zoë Dew returns to unpack why so many multi-offer businesses stall (spoiler: your offers are sitting in silos). We dig into the myth of the neat “offer ladder,” why most £100 buyers don’t magically jump to £2,000 and how to build a journey that actually moves people through your suite over time. Zoë shows you how to switch focus from audience growth to conversion, spot the mid-tier gaps that are costing you revenue, and use a simple Stripe or Xero export to find your real money makers. We also cover data-backed gut instinct, when to pull an underperforming launch, and smart ways to repackage best-sellers for Q4 without creating more work.

This week I’m joined by strategist Natalie Potts to tackle the problem behind most slow sales: unclear messaging. We break down some of Natalie’s simple framework; get congruent about who you are, get specific about your ideal client, build an offer that actually solves their problem, then market and sell to that person.

We talk about why “industry standards” rarely apply, why behaviour beats vanity metrics and how in-person connection still outperforms posting for the sake of it. If you’ve ever felt like people don’t quite “get” what you do, this conversation will help you cut through the noise, find your focus and communicate with confidence.

This week I’m joined by Zoë Dew, data strategist and founder of Zoë Dew Consulting, who helps high-earning, multi-offer business owners finally get clarity from their numbers, without getting lost in spreadsheets.

We talk about why data can feel intimidating, the problem with “industry standard” metrics and how to actually use your own numbers to make better business decisions.

Zoë shares a refreshingly simple approach to tracking what matters, why you might be focusing on the wrong metrics and how small daily behaviours can have a bigger impact on sales than any conversion rate ever will.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by analytics or avoided your data dashboard completely, this episode will help you see your numbers in a whole new light.
