Messy Business - with Libby Langley

You’ve probably heard the phrase “know, like, and trust” a thousand times — it’s the golden rule of marketing, right? But there’s a crucial fourth step that everyone forgets… buy. Because no matter how loved, trusted, or respected you are, if no one actually buys from you, you don’t have a business.In this episode, I dig into what’s missing from the classic know, like, trust model and how to bridge the gap between being admired and being hired. I share my own experience of building a business full of loyal followers but not enough urgency, why visibility and trust aren’t enough anymore, and what it really takes to move people from connection to conversion.You’ll hear stories from my early business days (complete with lime-green branding and 2012 Twitter nostalgia), reflections on how the online world has changed, and practical ways to position yourself as essential — not just liked. Because these days, being “everywhere” isn’t enough. You need clarity, conviction, and a message that makes people act.✨ Being trusted isn’t the same as being chosen. Add the missing “buy” to your know, like, trust and start being seen as essential.Helpful Links:🔶 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📙 Read my book: Life in Business 🧡 Work with me: The Unstuck SanctuaryIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

You know that awkward moment when you realise people love your content, open every email, and tell you you’re brilliant — but they still don’t buy? Yep, that’s the business friend zone. In this episode, I’m unpacking why that happens, what it really means, and how to shift from being “nice to have” to being seen as essential.I share my own experience of building a business full of trust but not enough urgency, and why the classic know, like, trust model is missing a crucial fourth step — buy. We’ll talk about how people-pleasing, soft messaging, and endless availability keep you stuck, and how to reposition your offers so your audience sees you as the stabilising force they need, not just the friendly voice they enjoy.If you’ve ever felt frustrated that people engage but don’t commit, this episode will help you move from supportive sidekick to respected expert — without losing your warmth, integrity, or boundaries.✨ You don’t have to ditch your kindness to make sales. You just need to stop being everyone’s business bestie and start showing them why you’re essential.Helpful Links:🔶 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📙 Read my book: Life in Business 🧡 Work with me: The Unstuck SanctuaryIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Do you secretly hate marketing — or feel completely frozen when it comes to putting yourself out there? You’re not alone. For many solo business owners, marketing feels awkward, overwhelming, or downright terrifying. But here’s the truth: there’s no one “right” way to do it, and you can find an approach that actually fits you and your business.In this episode, I break down where the fear of marketing really comes from (fear of judgement, cultural baggage, or just not knowing what to say), and why avoiding it keeps you stuck. We’ll look at the different forms marketing can take — from content to connections to visibility and systems — and how to match them to your energy and strengths.You’ll also hear how reframing marketing as an act of service can change everything. Because you’re not begging for attention or being pushy — you’re helping the right people realise you’re the right person to help them.✨ Marketing doesn’t have to feel horrible. You can find a way that feels natural, simple, and sustainable — and it’s more than enough.Helpful links: 🔶 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📙 Read my book: Life in Business 🧡 Work with me: The Unstuck SanctuaryIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Ever felt like if you’re not chasing 10K months, six-figure launches, or scaling at lightning speed, then you’re somehow failing? That unspoken pressure to “go big or go home” is everywhere in the online world — but it’s also a trap that can leave you exhausted, paralysed, and disconnected from what you actually want.In this episode, I share why I’ve moved away from the hustle of huge goals, and why smaller, slower, and simpler aims are not only valid but often smarter and braver. We’ll talk about how chasing someone else’s definition of success can derail you, why comparing your solo business to industry “norms” is pointless, and how to set goals that actually fit your energy, life, and priorities.If you’ve ever felt weighed down by pressure to think bigger or grow faster, this episode will help you reframe “slow” as sustainable, intentional, and conscious — and remind you that the bravest choice is building a business that truly works for you.✨ Bravery doesn’t always look like going bigger. Sometimes it’s saying no to pressure, yes to yourself, and choosing growth that feels good.Helpful links:🔶 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck📙 Read my book: Life in Business🧡 Work with me: The Unstuck SanctuaryIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

What happens when you realise you’ve outgrown your clients — or the way you work with them? It can feel scary, uncomfortable, and even disloyal, especially when these are the people who’ve helped you build your business. But sometimes, the truth is that you’ve evolved, your needs have changed, and the services or relationships that once lit you up no longer do.In this episode, I share my own experiences of outgrowing certain offers and client relationships, how I navigated those transitions with integrity, and why making changes isn’t about rejecting people — it’s about realigning your business so it works for you. We’ll talk about how to tell the difference between outgrowing a client and outgrowing a service, the power of having honest conversations, and why pivoting with intention keeps your business alive, aligned, and joyful.If you’ve ever felt a creeping sense of boredom, resentment, or misalignment with your work, this episode will help you spot the signs that change is needed — and give you permission to evolve without guilt.✨ Changing direction isn’t disloyal — it’s the most loyal thing you can do for yourself, your business, and your clients.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Feeling bored in your business doesn’t always mean it’s time to burn it all down. In fact, boredom can be a sign you’re craving more creativity, variety, or challenge — not that you need to start from scratch. In this episode, I’m sharing why boredom often has more to do with the way you’re running your business than with the work itself, and how small shifts can reignite your interest without causing chaos.I talk about my own relationship with boredom, how my neurodivergent brain needs both routine and novelty, and why I’ve built my Unstuck community to give me (and my clients) variety, connection, and joy. You’ll learn the difference between boredom and burnout, why the delivery of your work might be the real problem, and how to tweak your offers so they work with your brain instead of against it.This is about building a business that sustains your interest, keeps you energised, and gives you freedom — without constant reinvention or the risk of burnout. You can love what you do and still change how you do it.✨ Boredom doesn’t mean you’re in the wrong business — it means it’s time to make it work better for you.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Have you ever told yourself you should “just be grateful” for what you have? On the surface it sounds positive — even virtuous — but there’s a hidden cost to gratitude when it becomes a muzzle. In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet guilt that can keep you stuck in situations that don’t truly make you happy, and why being grateful and wanting change can absolutely coexist.I share the childhood moment that planted this belief in me, how it’s shown up in my life and business, and why so many women internalise the idea that ambition is selfish or disruptive. We’ll explore the difference between appreciating your life and settling for it, and how to tell if you’re genuinely content or simply convincing yourself you should be. You’ll learn ways to reframe your ambition as self-respect, recognise when you’re making decisions out of obligation instead of alignment, and start creating space for the life and business you actually want.This is your permission slip to stop shrinking yourself in the name of gratitude and start being unapologetic about your desires. You can deeply appreciate what you have and still want more — that’s not greed, it’s growth.✨ You don’t have to settle to be grateful — the two can exist together, and that’s where your power lies.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode struck a chord with you, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Do you remember the moment you realised you were never going to work for someone else again? That powerful, spine-tingling moment when you knew you were done with the corporate world for good? In this episode, I’m sharing my own journey — from selling pom poms to the neighbours as a child, to walking out of my last job and starting my business from scratch.I take you through the early signs that I was destined to work for myself (even if I didn’t know it at the time), the jobs that nurtured my independence, and the ones that drained the life out of me. You’ll hear why autonomy was the non-negotiable that shaped my decision, how I built a business with nothing but determination, and why I believe some of us are simply wired to create our own path.If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit into someone else’s system, or you’ve had that itch to do things your own way, this episode will remind you that you’re not broken — you’re a business owner at heart. And if you’re still finding your version of “pom poms”, that’s okay. You can shape and reshape your business until it feels exactly right for you.✨ You were always meant to work for yourself — it was never an accident, it was always who you were.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear your own “I’m never working for someone else again” moment.

We’ve all heard them: 10,000 steps a day. £10K months in business. The magic numbers you “must” hit if you want to be successful. But what if these targets are nothing more than marketing myths — and chasing them is actually holding you back?In this episode, I’m breaking down the surprising truth behind the 10,000-step rule (spoiler: it was invented for a 1960s Japanese marketing campaign, not science) and showing how the same thinking applies to business. You’ll learn why setting arbitrary goals can set you up for failure, and how to create targets that actually work for you — whether that’s 1,500, 7,000, or yes, even 10,000 steps… or pounds.I share my own experience of aiming too high too soon, why I ditched unrealistic goals in favour of something sustainable, and how that shift completely changed my mindset, results, and happiness. You’ll walk away knowing how to measure success on your terms, without the pressure to constantly “do more” just because the internet says so.✨ You get to choose your goals — and the most powerful ones are the ones that feel achievable, energising, and right for you.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Have you ever stopped yourself from doing something in your business because you were worried about what other people might think? Whether it’s strangers on the internet, a partner who doesn’t quite get it, or family members who’ve always made you feel “less than,” the fear of judgement can be paralysing.In this episode, I’m talking about how that fear shows up — from shrinking your ideas to making them more “palatable,” to avoiding offers, price increases, or opportunities entirely — and how to stop it from holding you back. I share why most people’s opinions aren’t really about you, how to protect your energy from unhelpful voices, and practical ways to champion yourself even if no one else is clapping yet.Other people’s opinions aren’t your reality. You don’t need anyone’s permission to chase what lights you up, and you’re absolutely allowed to take up space.✨ You get to build a business on your terms — and the sooner you trust yourself, the freer you’ll feel.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Busy doesn’t always mean productive — so why are we still chasing it? In this episode, I’m unpacking the productivity myth that keeps so many solo business owners overworked, overwhelmed, and stuck in a cycle that doesn’t actually move their business forward.We’ve been sold the idea that the busier you are, the more successful you must be. But the truth? A full calendar doesn’t necessarily mean progress — it just means you’ve filled your time. I share why I ditched “busyness” as a badge of honour, how I restructured my business to work fewer hours and feel more fulfilled, and the importance of focusing only on the actions that actually make a difference.We’ll talk about productivity guilt, daily non-negotiables, tracking your energy (not just your time), and letting go of unnecessary tasks that drain you. If you’ve been stuck in overwork, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, reassess, and create a business that gives you both time freedom and financial success — without burning out.✨ Being busy isn’t the goal.

If you’ve ever felt like your momentum has disappeared, your motivation is nowhere to be found, and you’re not sure what to do next… you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m inviting you to look at being “stuck” in a completely different way.Rather than seeing stuckness as something to panic about or rush to fix, I’m encouraging you to treat it as a message — a moment to pause and reflect. So often, we try to fix the wrong thing: we launch something new, sign up for another course, or blame ourselves for not working hard enough. But what if the discomfort is actually trying to tell us something useful? What if feeling stuck is a sign that something is misaligned — and an opportunity to create realignment, clarity, and calm?In this conversation, I’ll help you reframe stuckness as a signal, not a personal failing. You’ll learn how to recognise the difference between misalignment and burnout, how to avoid impulsive panic decisions, and how to move forward with more clarity and self-trust. Plus, I’m sharing journaling questions that can help you reconnect with what you actually want — and give yourself permission to build your business your way.✨ When you treat stuckness as a signpost, not a problem, you find clarity that no course or coach could give you.🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode sparked something for you, I’d love to hear about it.

Does your image affect your confidence and success as a business owner? Today I’m diving into this fascinating topic with Nicky Hambleton-Jones - stylist, author, and former presenter of the iconic TV show 10 Years Younger. We’re exploring how what you wear and how you feel about ageing can influence not just how others see you, but how you show up in your business.In this episode, Nicky shares why confidence - both inner and outer - is the true game-changer when it comes to projecting authority and building trust. We talk about why your personal style is more than just clothes, how to create a signature look that reflects your brand, and why embracing your age (and dressing in a way that feels good for you) can transform how you feel and how others respond to you.We discuss the reality of running your own business, surviving the highs and lows, and the power of staying visible and true to yourself, no matter your age. If you’ve ever wondered whether your wardrobe or appearance is impacting your confidence and success, this conversation will inspire you to see style as a powerful tool - not a pressure.We also talk about her brilliant new book, Bolder Not Older — a powerful, practical guide to feeling more confident in yourself and your work, no matter your age. It’s available now online and in all good bookshops, and it's a must-read if you're ready to stop playing small and start living more boldly.✨ True confidence comes from alignment — when how you look reflects who you are and what you stand for.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to know — what’s one change you’d love to make to feel more confident in how you show up?

Feeling unmotivated in your business? Struggling to stay on track with your goals — or wondering if they’re even the right goals anymore? If you’re stuck in a cycle of resistance, procrastination, or feeling out of alignment, it might be time to take a closer look at the goals you’ve been chasing.In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when your goals stop feeling exciting and start feeling like a burden. We often set goals based on what we think we should want — like hitting 10K months or building a team — without really checking if those goals still reflect who we are now. And when your goals are out of sync with your values, it can lead to burnout, overwhelm, and a whole lot of self-doubt.I’ll share how I’ve shifted my own business goals over the years, why I now embrace the “comfortable middle,” and how knowing what you truly want can change everything. This isn’t about aiming lower — it’s about aiming smarter. We’ll explore the difference between discomfort from growth versus discomfort from misalignment, and how to recognise when your goals are no longer serving you.Whether you’re ready to reset, refine, or completely rethink your direction, this episode will help you build a business that fits your life — not someone else’s version of success.✨ When your goals are aligned with the life you want, everything gets simpler, lighter, and more fulfilling.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.

Indecision is one of the biggest energy drains in business. I know how it feels to have 57 tabs open on your computer (and in your brain), wondering which path to take and feeling like every option could be the wrong one. In this episode, I’m talking through the weight of indecision — how it builds, how it keeps you stuck, and why doing something is almost always better than doing nothing.We’ll dive into what’s really behind that stuckness, whether it’s fear, burnout, people-pleasing, or simply too much input from the outside world. I’ll also walk you through my “clarity foundations” exercise — a practical way to reconnect with what truly matters in your business, so you can stop circling and start moving forward. Because once you know what feels aligned, decision-making becomes a whole lot easier.If your business is feeling heavy, confusing, or just off, this is the reset you didn’t know you needed.✨ Clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder — it comes from simplifying and trusting yourself again.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode struck a chord, I’d love to hear what decisions you’re finally making.

Your business isn’t a one-and-done kind of thing. It’s something that evolves as you do — and in this episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal story about what I’ve changed in my own business lately and why. After months of sitting with a niggling misalignment, I’ve made the big (and beautiful) decision to rename my coaching space from Confidence to Grow to The Unstuck Community.This isn’t just about a rebrand — it’s about recognising when something no longer feels true, even if it’s working on the outside. We’ll talk about why misalignment can show up quietly, what it looks like in real time, and how to respond without throwing everything out and starting again. I’ll walk you through how I made the decision, the feedback that tipped the balance, and what it means for you if your business is feeling “meh” for no obvious reason.Because alignment matters more than algorithms. And making a change doesn’t mean you’re failing — it means you’re listening.✨ Your next big step might just be a small, intentional tweak.Helpful Links: 🌀 Download my free guide: F Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode gave you the permission you needed, come and tell me!

Today I’m talking about something that stops so many brilliant solo business owners in their tracks: the fear of making another bad investment. Whether you’ve spent thousands on coaching that didn’t feel right, or downloaded freebie after freebie without seeing results, that lingering sense of shame, regret, or frustration can keep you stuck for far too long.In this episode, I’m sharing how these experiences stay in our nervous systems, why they’re not your fault, and how to rebuild your trust (in yourself and others). I’ll explain the difference between smart discernment and full-on avoidance — and why not all coaching, courses, or investments are created equal. We’ll explore the signs of a healthy investment, what it should feel like before, during, and after, and how to tune in to what you actually need instead of what the internet’s telling you to buy next.Because you’re not broken. The system is. And there is support out there that will work for you — no pressure, no guilt, and no one telling you you’ve failed.✨ You can move forward without more overwhelm.

If you’ve ever said, “I know what I need to do - so why am I not doing it?”, this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s talk about knowledge paralysis, the sneaky trap that convinces you to download yet another freebie or course, instead of simply moving forward with what you already know.In this episode, I’m getting to the heart of why you’re feeling stuck - not because you don’t know enough, but because you’ve been convinced you should know more. Whether it’s imposter syndrome, perfectionism in disguise, or the comparison spiral of Instagram, there’s a very real cost to constantly learning without implementing. I’ll talk about how to break free from the “one more course” mentality, why doing one small thing beats overpreparing, and why you might never need to learn anything new ever again (really!).This is a loving nudge to get out of your own way. If you’re surrounded by unfinished PDFs, unclicked emails, and online courses gathering dust, I’m here to tell you - you’re not broken. You’re brilliant.

If your brain feels foggy, your motivation has vanished, and everything you try leads to overthinking and second-guessing… you’re not broken. You’re just stuck — and it’s totally normal.In this episode, I’m digging into what being “stuck” really looks like for solo business owners, how it creeps in, and why it has nothing to do with being lazy or lacking strategy. From the pressure to keep up with what “should” work, to the quiet reality that you’ve changed — this is a gentle, honest exploration of why things might not be flowing and how to shift without burning yourself out.I’m sharing practical mindset shifts, permission to change what’s not working (even if it used to), and how to create the momentum that gets you out of your head and back into movement. You don’t need a full rebrand or a lightning bolt of clarity — just one small step today. That’s where unstuck begins.✨ You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or failing — you’ve just outgrown something.

If you're dragging yourself through your to-do list, doubting all your decisions, or wondering where your spark has gone… it might not be you — it might be burnout. And no, it doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes burnout looks like tweaking your website for the 400th time, staring blankly at your inbox, or feeling completely flat for no obvious reason.In this episode, I’m talking honestly about burnout as a solo business owner — especially for those of us who are high-functioning, used to “pushing through,” and often the ones everyone else relies on. I share how burnout has shown up in my own life (including during divorce, neurodivergence, and a business that once drained the life out of me), and the steps I’ve taken to move through it without burning everything to the ground.This is a love letter to brilliant women who are not broken, just exhausted. You’re not failing — you’ve just been carrying too much for too long. Let’s talk about how to take a step back, refocus on what truly matters, and build a business that supports your energy — not one that depletes it.✨ Burnout doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

This week, I’m speaking directly to the women who always seem to have it together — the ones who are calm, capable, and endlessly supportive. You're the go-to for your friends, your family, your clients. You’re the one who says, “My DMs are always open,” and people take you up on that. But when you need support… where do you go?Being the strong one is exhausting. It's not that people don't care about you — it's that you're just so good at caring for everyone else. And while that’s beautiful, it can also be lonely. I know this because I’ve been that person for years. And even though it might feel like you have to keep up the image of being bulletproof, the truth is you don’t.In this conversation, I’m opening up about how masking strength all the time took a toll on me — and how softening, being honest, and setting boundaries changed everything. I’m sharing why empathy in business is powerful, how you can still be an incredible support without burning out, and what it means to be the rock without turning to stone.If you've ever wished there was a “you” for you — someone who just gets it and holds space without needing anything back — then you're in the right place. You are not alone, and you don’t have to carry everything by yourself.✨ Being the strong one is admirable. But you’re allowed to be soft, too. You’re allowed to need support.

Ever wondered if your business would crumble if you stopped showing up daily on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn? In this episode of Unstuck, I’m sharing the honest truth about what’s happened since I made the decision to step back from social media — and why it’s been one of the most refreshing, grounding shifts I’ve made in years.After more than a decade of daily posting, I quietly stopped. No dramatic flounce. Just… stopped. And spoiler alert: my business didn’t collapse. Instead, I’ve felt calmer, clearer, and more connected than I have in ages. I’ll take you behind the scenes of how I reassessed my time, what visibility now looks like for me, and the surprising impact it’s had on my mindset, energy, and income. We’ll also talk about why social media isn’t evil (I still love it), how to use it more intentionally, and what genuinely works better for me — like this podcast, email marketing, and meaningful conversations.✨ You don’t have to be everywhere to be visible.

Welcome to Unstuck formerly Life In Business!We’ve all heard it: make a 90-day plan, set quarterly targets, forecast your growth. But for many solo business owners — especially those who are neurodivergent or juggling midlife chaos — rigid long-term planning can do more harm than good. It can feel overwhelming, demotivating, and like you’re setting yourself up to fail before you’ve even started.In this episode of Unstuck, I’m flipping the script. I’ll walk you through why traditional planning doesn’t always serve us and what to focus on instead — clarity, consistency, and momentum. You’ll learn why setting goals based on how you want to feel might move the needle more than any spreadsheet ever could, and why small wins and aligned energy are the real secret sauce in business growth.✨ Progress isn’t always about being productive — it’s about rolling forward in a way that actually works for you.Helpful Links 🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck 📖 Read my book 💬 Work with meIf this episode sparked something for you — whether you’re ditching your 90-day plan or redefining what “winning” looks like — I’d love to hear about it.

Showing up in your business can feel like a monumental task. Not because you’re lazy or unmotivated, but because it can feel deeply vulnerable to put yourself out there.

Welcome to Unstuck formerly Life In Business!If our offers are confusing us, they are definitely confusing my audience. And confused people do not buy. Today, we’re talking about how to simplify your offers so they actually sell. Because, let’s be honest, this is the whole point of being in business, right? It’s not just for the sake of it; we're here because we want to support people, but we also want to make money. There’s nothing wrong with that.I think the real reason we complicate offers comes down to fear. A lot of it is fear. A lot of it is imposter syndrome. A lot of it is trying to please everyone. And when we try to please everyone, we end up pleasing no one, because how can 10 different problems be solved by one product or service? Sure, there are nuances to every problem we solve, but if they’re completely different things, it gets messy.Simplifying our offers means more clarity, more focus, and better salesHelpful Links:🌀 Download the free guide: Feeling Stuck📖 Read my book💬 Work with meIf this episode resonated with you, I’d love to hear about it.
