This is your permission slip to slow the hell down without losing your power.

If your brain has recently slammed on the brakes while your business is still trying to race ahead at full noise… you are not broken. You’re not failing. You’re not “less than.” You’re a woman navigating a physiological season that most business advice completely ignores.

In Episode 84, we dismantle the guilt, the shame, and the “just push harder” conditioning that so many of us carry, especially in seasons like perimenopause, pregnancy, early motherhood, or just… life being a lot.

This isn’t laziness.

It’s biology.

It’s capacity shifting.

And you get to lead differently here.

What We Get Into:

✔ The truth about low-capacity seasons (and why you can’t out-hustle hormones)

✔ Why your capacity ≠ your capability

✔ How to protect your confidence when your brain feels like mashed potatoes

✔ The four energy states every woman entrepreneur cycles through

✔ How to schedule your work, leadership, and life around your physiology

✔ Why rest is not a luxury it’s a leadership skill

✔ The simple mindset shift that stops your business from entering survival mode

✔ How lowering expectations (yes, really!) can actually boost performance across your whole business

If you’re brilliant but running on fumes…

If you’re second-guessing your output…

If you’re grieving the version of yourself who used to “do more”…

This episode will soothe your nervous system and sharpen your leadership all at once.

Key Takeaway

You cannot outwork biology, but you can lead yourself and your business with intention in first gear, fifth gear, and everything in between.

Slowing down isn't a weakness.

It’s wisdom hard-earned through years of juggling business, motherhood, partnership, home life, and everything else you've carried.

Sarah Greener sits down with Ihipera Peters, owner of Kaupare Law a Māori-led law firm blazing trails in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Ihipera is not just a lawyer. She’s a mother of four, a wife, a cultural advocate, and a living example of what it means to run a profitable and present business without losing yourself along the way.

Together, Sarah and Ihipera get into the messy, beautiful reality of building a purpose-driven business while juggling family, identity, and leadership. From breaking perfectionism to redefining success, this conversation is full of truths you need to hear, big laughs, and actionable insights for any woman building her dream life on her own terms.

💬 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

✔ Redefining Success: How Ihipera stepped away from traditional measures of “success” to build a business grounded in purpose, culture, and community.

✔ Progress Over Perfection: The mindset shift that turned a “recovering perfectionist” into a confident business owner leading with ease and authenticity.

✔ Breaking Patriarchal Norms: The courage it takes for women, especially Māori women to lead businesses in spaces still shaped by outdated systems.

✔ Team, Trust & Tau (Balance): How Kaupare Law embeds Māori values, language and wellbeing( hauora) into its structure and how it’s paying off.

✔ Motherhood Meets Leadership: How Ihipera dropped the guilt and found joy in taking time for herself, proving you can be a present mum and a profitable business owner.

✔ Ripple Effects: From her daughter’s confidence in Te Reo Māori to her team’s wellbeing programs, Ihipera’s story shows how one woman’s alignment can change an entire community.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• • “Make your why bigger than your why bother.”

  • Success doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s version; it's about alignment, not achievement.

  • The path to balance isn’t about doing less; it’s about doing what matters.

  • It takes a sisterhood to grow a business and surround yourself with women who get it.

• 
  

• 💥 Quote Worth Repeating:

  “You can run a profitable business, be a present mama, and still make an impact. It takes a village to raise a child and a sisterhood to grow a business.” – Ihipera Peters

You wouldn’t spoon-feed your teenager, right? So why are you still spoon-feeding your business?

In this episode, I’m calling out one of the biggest mindset traps holding brilliant women back, treating your business like a baby that can’t survive without you. 👶💼

If you’re constantly checking in, fixing everyone’s mistakes, and believing that no one else can do it right you’re not leading a business; you’re parenting a codependent toddler. And that, my friend, is exhausting.

Let’s flip the script. Because your business doesn’t need a mother… It needs a leader.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

✔ Why micromanaging, hovering, and “rescuing” your team keeps you stuck in the weeds.

✔ The crucial difference between parenting and leading and how that shift transforms your team and your freedom.

✔ How to let go without letting it all fall apart (hint: structure = trust).

✔ The simple post-it strategy to identify what only YOU can do and what you can finally delegate.

✔ The real reason “control freak tendencies” are about fear, not standards and how to release them for good.

It’s time to stop doing $40/hour tasks when you’re a $1000/hour woman.

You didn’t build your business to be its babysitter. You built it to be free, impactful, and present at work and at home.

So this week, I challenge you to let go of just one thing. No swooping in. No rescuing. No re-doing it yourself. Delegate it, coach through it, and let your team rise.

Because the moment you stop mothering your business… it grows up and so do you. 🌱

You are not your business’s mother. You are its leader. Now, go lead like the badass woman you were born to be. 💪

What happens if life sideswipes you tomorrow?Would your business keep running… or would it grind to a halt?

In this episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, we’re looking at something most business mamas avoid: if your business only works when you’re at 100% capacity, you don’t have a business, you have a ticking time bomb.

I share:

✔ A raw client story that shows exactly why building systems isn’t a “nice to have” it’s survival.

✔ The emotional and logistical load women carry when life throws a curveball (partner injuries, sick kids, or just the reality of your cycle).

✔ How to run the “Can It Run Without Me?” test to spot the cracks in your business.

✔ My 3-step framework for crisis-proofing so your business bends (instead of breaks) when the unexpected happens.

You’ll walk away knowing how to:

✨ Protect your time, your peace, and your people.

✨ Build systems that support you when you can’t be “on.”

✨ Redefine leadership not as constant survival, but as designing a business that thrives without burning you out.

Crisis-proofing isn’t paranoia, it's leadership. It’s making sure your business, works even when you can’t.

👉 Your challenge this week: Pick ONE system in your business (onboarding, invoicing, delivery, whatever feels leaky) and start documenting it today. That’s how crisis-proofing begins.

Hey there, beautiful business mamas 👋 Welcome back to another episode of The Moxie Movement Podcast, your real-talk space where we’re rewriting what success looks like for women balancing business, family, and everything in between.

In today’s episode, I’m looking at one the biggest reasons delegation doesn’t work in so many businesses: lack of documentation. Yep, you heard me if it’s not documented, it’s not delegated.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✔ Why delegation without documentation is just dumping tasks and how that sets your team (and you!) up for failure.

✔ The two types of expectations your team must have in writing if you want them to thrive (and stop asking you the same damn questions).

✔ The difference between dusty SOPs that nobody reads and living systems that actually get used where the work happens.

✔ How to build your Success Map™a one-page, game-changing framework that makes delegation lighter, faster, and more effective.

✔ Why your team wants clear systems (spoiler: it makes them feel empowered instead of micromanaged).

This episode is packed with practical insights you can put to work today. Whether you’re leading a team of one or thirty, documentation is the leverage point that makes everything else flow.

Because you’re not bad at delegating, you're just missing the systems to support it. And when you fix that, delegation becomes easy, your team starts stepping up, and you finally get the freedom you’ve been craving.

If your business feels like you’re still doing all the things, this episode is your reminder: systems do the heavy lifting, not you. Let’s ditch the chaos, delegate with clarity, and build businesses that serve our lives, not the other way around.

Stay moxie,

Sarah 💜

Ever feel like your sales are stalling and you can’t quite put your finger on why? Let me tell you a little trick to fix it: your calendar doesn’t lie.

I’m talking the unsexy truth about how your schedule and your sales are linked. The way you spend your time tells the real story of your results. If sales are slipping, chances are your schedule is the culprit.

We’ll dig into:

✔ Why glamorising the “good times” in business can blind you to the truth.

✔ How letting the noise of the economy dictate your actions kills momentum.

✔ The Revenue-First Calendar Principle and how it saves you from last-minute, grabby “commission breath.”

✔ Why sacred time blocks for sales and strategy are your ultimate profit protectors.

✔ Real stories from clients who doubled profit and finally paid themselves six figures… even in “tough” markets.

This isn’t about working harder it’s about making sure money-making tasks actually make it onto your calendar (before the bank account screams for attention).

If you’ve ever found yourself cleaning the house before following up on sales calls 🙋‍♀️… this one’s for you.

✨ Resources & Next Steps

• Want help building your own Revenue-First Calendar? Inside the Done By 3 Club and the Moxie Business Advantage, we use my proven Power Hour framework to make sure you’re putting profit first every single week.

• DM me your questions over on Instagram or Facebook your question might be featured on an upcoming episode!

Stay Moxie,

Sarah

Ever felt like the business you lovingly built has morphed into a monster that’s eating up your time, your energy, and your joy? You’re not alone, mama.

I’m opening up about one of the hardest seasons in my business journey: the time I built a business so big, so demanding, and so misaligned with my life that I ended up hating it. I’ll share how ignoring my intuition led me into burnout, boredom, and nearly half a million dollars in legal battles… and more importantly, how I clawed my way back to creating businesses that serve my life, not the other way around.

This conversation is raw, real, and packed with lessons you can take straight into your own business. If you’ve ever:

✔ Wondered if you should burn it all down and start again…

✔ ️ Felt trapped by a business model that doesn’t fit your life…

✔ Or just wished you could build a business that feels like a sanctuary instead of a monster…

…then this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

→ Why the environment matters and how even small changes can create massive shifts in clarity and energy.

→ The three ways out when you hate your business (burn it down, sell it, or reshape it).

→ The “dumb tax” I paid so you don’t have to and the simple decision filters I use now to avoid repeating history.

→ How boredom and burnout sneak into your business (and how to spot them before they wreck your joy).

The exact framework I now use (and teach inside Moxie Business Advantage + Done by 3 Club) to rebuild a business that is both profitable and present.

Why This Matters:

You don’t hate your business; you hate the way you’ve been forced to run it. And the good news? You don’t need to burn it down to fix it. You already have the pieces you need to remould, reimagine, and rebuild a business that fuels your bank account and your soul.

✨ It’s time to move from monster to sanctuary.
