Content warning: Death of husband, grief.⁠
⁠
🌈 Meet Cassandra Barrie - business therapist, empire builder, and the most refreshingly honest guest we've had yet.⁠
⁠
When life threw Cass the unthinkable - losing her husband while 30 weeks pregnant and managing four businesses through grief - she didn't just survive, she transformed her experience into a revolutionary approach to business therapy.⁠
⁠
In today's episode, Cass shares the raw truth about building multiple successful businesses while dealing with personal crisis. From a motorcycle accident and painkiller addiction to launching a business empire, she proves that success doesn't require perfection - it requires authenticity.⁠

We dive deep into why asking for help isn't weakness, how to run a business through trauma, and why being yourself matters more than following someone else's blueprint. This conversation will change how you think about business therapy.⁠
⁠
This episode is packed with wisdom, laughs, and zero bulls**t advice from someone who's turned life's biggest challenges into her biggest strengths.⁠

Holy s**t, today's guest is a fu***ng powerhouse! Meet Adrienne Donnelly, the reluctant 'ultimate entrepreneur' (yeah, we gave her that title and we're sticking to it).

This badass runs multiple businesses like a boss, including Organised by Adrienne and Newcastle Virtual Assistants (which she runs with Jane Elkholm, one of our epic guest from 2024). And because apparently sleep is optional, she's also smashing it on various boards and business networks.

Adrienne talks about the reality of the entrepreneurial rollercoaster - from pricing (and why you need to charge more), to firing clients who don't serve you, to the nitty-gritty truth about running multiple businesses without losing your mind.

Since we recorded this episode, Adrienne's gone and added another business to her empire - Seed Virtual Assistants. Because apparently being a total legend wasn't enough already!

If you're wondering if it's possible to run multiple businesses without cloning yourself, this episode is for you.
