What happens when a brown woman with a digital marketing dream, a messy Google Drive, and zero chill decides to build a business from scratch—and documents everything?
This podcast is that journey.
Each episode is a voice note-meets-diary-entry-meets-mini TED Talk from the heart of a young woman figuring it out in real time. Expect honest rants, awkward realisations, practical tips, and the kind of pep talks you didn’t know you needed. No girlboss clichés. Just the raw, ridiculous, brilliant reality of becoming your own boss in the digital world.
Whether you’re launching, pivoting, procrastinating, or panic-Googling “how to send a professional invoice,” this pod’s for you.
One episode. One messy step forward. Every time.
Ever had that moment where you're standing in a sleek skyscraper, surrounded by shiny shoes, glass walls, and the ghosts of your corporate past… and you suddenly wonder if you've completely lost the plot? Yeah. Same. In this very real, slightly chaotic episode, I take you inside a networking event that felt more like a high-stakes episode of Suits than a friendly meet-and-greet. I spiral (with charm), cry in a designer toilet (with dignity?), and ask myself the question every entrepreneur fac...

11. Should I hire an accountant?
Starting a business is all fun and Canva templates… until HMRC sends you a letter and you realise your “finance system” is actually just three receipts and a gut feeling. In this episode, I spiral (productively) about whether it’s time to get an accountant — and how on earth to pick the right one without accidentally hiring someone who thinks influencers are a type of disease. I talk Zoom interviews, dodgy spreadsheet attempts, accountant red flags, and the glorious day I finally found The On...

10. Delusion Doesn’t Pay the Bills, Barbara
They told me, “Don’t worry, the clients will come. Money will flow. Be delusional!” And I said, “Babe… delusion doesn’t pay bills. Not even the Wi-Fi.” In this episode, I unpack the wildly unhelpful but well-meaning advice I’ve been given since starting my digital marketing business. From manifestation culture to awkward cold emails, I’m talking about what it really takes to grow a business when good vibes just aren’t enough. Spoiler: I still don’t know a Barbara.

9. Stop Refreshing Your Emails and LinkedIn Every 3 Minutes
Are you checking your inbox like it owes you money? Refreshing LinkedIn every five minutes hoping someone—anyone—has liked your last post or, better yet, slid into your DMs with a juicy retainer offer? Yeah, same. In this episode, I (your slightly frazzled, overly caffeinated host) unpack the madness behind compulsive inbox checking when you’re building a digital marketing business from scratch. Why do we do it? What are we really looking for? And what could we be doing instead that actually ...

8. Finding your first clients
Pull back the velvet curtain on what it actually looked like starting my digital marketing business — no filters and definitely no villas in Bali. I didn’t make £14k in month one (spoiler alert), but I did land my first few clients, stumble through some very messy invoices, and learn how to show up with courage, not perfection. Whether you’re just starting out, stuck in the “how-do-I-get-clients?” zone, or tired of the online hustle-fairy tales, this one’s for you. Expect awkward truths, acti...

7. What do you put as your job title?
You know that awkward moment when a form asks for your job title and suddenly you’re having an identity crisis over your flat white? Yeah… same. In this episode, I dive into the oddly emotional task of choosing what to call myself as I build my digital marketing biz from scratch. Founder? CEO? Director of Duct-Taping-It-All-Together? Honestly, who knows. Expect chaotic self-reflection, too many Canva references, and a lot of real talk about being a one-woman brand-building machine. If you’ve ...

6. Cold outreach aka I’m Tired of selling My Services to the World Today
Feeling drained from constantly pitching your services and getting ghosted by potential clients? You’re not alone. In this brutally honest and hilariously relatable episode, I (a young South Asian woman building her digital marketing agency from scratch) dive into the emotional rollercoaster of cold emails, awkward follow-ups, and the never-ending hustle to prove your worth in a crowded digital world. From chai-fuelled rants to real insights on starting a business as a woman of colour, this e...

5. Pricing
In this episode, something huge happened—I landed my first major client (cue confetti and mild panic). All was golden until they hit me with the dreaded: “Can you send your pricing across?” Erm… what now? Join me as I unravel the chaos, confidence-wobbling, and actual maths that went into figuring out how to price my digital marketing services. I’m talking day rates (but only secretly), how to build project quotes that make sense, and why saying your price out loud shouldn’t feel like confess...
