#232 - How Simple Rituals Can Transform The Way You Feel About Your Workday
Rituals give the day its edges. They give you the thresholds to walk through and then the door to close behind you at the end of the day. So, I invite you to think about rituals that you could introduce into your business that give your day edges. How can you mark that threshold of beginning your...

#231 - What Are You Holding On To For Fear That Nothing Will Come To Take It’s Place?
Autumn is my absolute favourite season, and I have a few reasons… It’s beautiful, for one. But for me it’s also the season of reflection and release, and the releasing that happens now makes room for my second favourite season, winter. Winter is when I’m at my most creative, under blankets…

#230 - Pulling The Plug On Spiritual Elitism
There's a massive contradiction that I'm witnessing in the zeitgeist at the moment - on the one hand, we're talking about the huge shift that we want to happen. We're talking about the New Era. I was part of the New Era series hosted by my dear friend Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine with a bunch…

#229 - The Wonder of Gathering Together in Circle
Step into a little time warp with me… so, I recorded this episode before my week in Glastonbury with Rebecca Campbell for my Sacred Circle Facilitation training. But I’m writing this to you after my week away. The Gill who recorded this podcast episode, isn’t the Gill tapping away at the keyboard...

#228 - How To Know If You're Investing Time & Money Into The Right Thing
On the podcast this week, I’m talking about how to know whether you’re making a good decision for yourself and your business when there are so many voices out there telling you that they are the ones with the must-have solution you need… First thing first, and this will be no surprise, we’re...

New Era Sessions | Gill Moakes | From the outside to IN
Thank you to everyone who joined Deb D ⭐️ The Intuitive HERoine and I for our live convo earlier. What a pleasure it was to go deep into a topic that is so close to my heart - how women who learn how to connect with, listen to, trust and ACT on their intuition are the women who get to build the...

#227 - Autumn Awakening - Harnessing The Energy Of The Second Spring
On the podcast this week, we’re stepping into autumn, a time that always feels to me like a second Spring in terms of energy. It’s so easy to make ourselves wrong for slowing down, to feel guilty about projects that stalled over summer, but I believe that quiet period was just your inner well...

#226 - What Does It Mean To ReWild Your Business?
You know when you're really close to something, you don't always pause to check that people are getting it the way you do? Well I came face to face (well, email to email) with just that last week. Someone dropped me a line saying that they'd been listening in to the podcast for quite a while now,...

#225 - Claude Made Me Do It, So We Broke Up
In this week's episode I share why I failed to upload an episode last week (after 4 years of weekly consistency!). There are a couple of reasones: 1. Summer Slowness - my energy has been diverted to other creative pursuits like writing, reading and painting, but as always with me, as we stroll…

#224 - Human Design - Getting Personal with Nadia Adan
Something a bit different this week, friends. I had the absolute pleasure of meeting with Nadia Adan when speaking at the ICF Converge Summit in Paris earlier this year. Nadia is a transformational mentor and Quantum Human Design™ specialist who helps women stop living their "should life" and…

#223 - Call In Your Support Circle
Do you have a support circle? Those people in your life that you trust implicitly to tell you the truth (even when you don’t want to hear it). The people you can call when you want to rant about something and you know beyond any doubt that you’re being unreasonable, but you just don’t care… it’s...

#222 - When I Coach, I Fly with Maria Cussell
On the ReWild Your Business podcast this week, I'm talking to Maria Cussell, an experienced leadership coach who helps high achieving leaders become even more effective by developing insight and understanding to move quickly to action, bringing them more success and fulfilment, both…

#221 - Are You Trying to Measure a Cyclical Money Season Using a Linear Ruler
Most money mindset advice sees revenue as a straight line, always climbing, every month meant to beat the last. But when you think about it, nothing alive, nothing that grows, ever grows that way, and I think that mismatch is where so much of our money shame comes from. In this episode I walk...

#220 - What I'd Focus On If I Was Starting A Coaching Business In 2026
If I had to start my coaching business again from nothing, right now, in the back half of 2026, I know exactly what I'd do, and it isn't what most newly qualified coaches are doing. In this episode I talk through the four things I'd focus on before anything else: having real, one-to-one...
-
#219 - Have You Overcomplicated Your Coaching Offer?
If you can't describe what someone gets from working with you in one breath, this episode is for you. I'm talking about why coaches pad their offers with modules, bonuses and add-ons (and why it's usually a confidence problem, not a value problem). I walk you through the three things every simple...
-
#218 - Why Getting That First 'Yes!' Matters So Much For New Coaches
Your business doesn't become real the day you qualify. It becomes real the day someone says yes, and pays you to coach them... This episode is about that first yes, and why most newly qualified coaches are sitting further away from it than they need to be. Coach training teaches you to coach. It...

#217 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 7 - Deep Transformation
Here we go... the seventh and final layer of The Natural Order of Things, the one that really decides everything: Deep Transformation. Here's the reframe at the heart of this episode. Your job was never to teach, coach, or deliver content. Your job is to hold space while your client does the work...
-
#216 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 6 - Honest Invitation
There’s one word that can shift the energy in a room faster than almost any other. Say it to a circle of purpose-driven, creative, soul-led women and you’ll see a collective clenching… The word, of course, is sales. And I understand the flinch completely, because most of what we’ve absorbed about...

#215 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 5 - Speaking Up
So, our Natural Order Of Things mini series continues...

Bonus Episode: There's Another Way... and it's Wild
I jumped on for a cheeky bonus episode this week because I genuinely could not sit on this a moment longer. The Wild Way is open, and I’m ready like a nervous, over-prepared host, to welcome you inside. The Wild Way is the community I’ve wanted to belong to for years, so I’ve gone and built it,...
-
#214 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 4 - World View
You know the feeling. You read something and stop dead. "Yes. Exactly that. I've never heard it put that way before." That flash of recognition is what a worldview does, and it's the difference between being remembered and being white noise. This week we're into layer four of our 7 part mini...
-
#213 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 3 - Soul Work
Most offers are built from the wrong starting point - the market. What's already out there. What seems to be working for other people. And when you build that way, the best you can produce is a competent version of something that already exists. In this episode, part three of The Natural Order of...

#212 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 2 - Truest Expression
Your brand isn’t your logo. It isn’t your colour palette. It’s the truest expression of who you are, and in this episode, I'm diving deep into Layer 2 of The Natural Order of Things framework: Truest Expression. If your vision and mindset - your inner knowing - is solid but your business still...
-
#211 - The Natural Order Of Things - Part 1: Inner Knowing
If your business feels stalled, the answer probably isn't a new strategy, a better funnel, or more content. It's likely something far more foundational, and that's exactly where this series begins. This is Part 1 of the seven-layer Natural Order of Things framework, and we're starting with Inner...

#210 - How To Know What To Fix First If Your Soul-Led Business Has Stalled

#209 - Do You Even Recognise The Person Described On Your About Page?
Have you ever looked at your website or your content and not quite recognised the person it’s talking about? The one who apparently runs your business? If so, this episode of the ReWild Your Business podcast is for you. I’m getting into something that I think is incredibly common: the drift. The...
-
#208 - What Is Your Most Potent Work? And How Can You Do More Of It?
There's work you do that's useful. And then there's work you do that's potent - where a small amount of what you give produces a disproportionately large shift for the person on the receiving end of it. They're not always the same thing. And the potent work is often the thing you've been quietly...
-
#207 - What If It Never Happens For Me?
Those two little words - what if - can stop us in our tracks. What if I've left it too late? What if I do all the work and it still never happens for me? In this episode, I'm digging into the what-ifs that seem to show up more insistently as we move into midlife and beyond, and why they're not...

#205 - What is Distraction REALLY Costing Us?
I’m fresh back from the Grand Union Canal, and a few days on a barge with family. It was one of those beautifully simple trips. Board games, tiny boat-oven pizzas, no screens (at least for the adults!), just a lot of laughing. And somewhere in the middle of steering through a pitch-black,...
-
#204 - A Simple Question That Unlocked A Breakthrough For Me
I’ve been in a seriously creative season lately. Writing, thinking, meditating, doing all the things that for me are the work, and also, if I’m honest, feeling a bit guilty about it. The newsletter that slipped. The freebie that’s been sitting waiting for an email sequence I haven’t got round to...

#203 - The Most Radical Business Decision You Can Make Right Now
This one's been gnawing at me for a while.

But to do that,...

If you know something in your life or business has run its course but for some reason you can't quite explain, you're still showing up to it like nothing's changed... this one's for you. I'm talking about the in-between: that uncomfortable space where you're no longer who you were, but not yet...

#193 - How I Finally Got Comfortable Calling Myself 'Creative' And Why It Matters
For most of my life, I genuinely believed I wasn't creative. Like, hand on heart, I would tell anyone willing to listen that I didn't have a creative bone in my body. And I really believed it. Why? Because to me, creativity meant one thing: being able to draw or paint. And since I can't do that...
