Mindset, Money, Success is a Podcast aimed at discovering what it takes to be successful.
I believe that you can’t become successful unless you have the right mindset. What do you think? I will be talking with entrepreneurs to discover their secrets to success. First up, chatting to Single, Sexy, and Successful Women. I also want to raise awareness of experiences of adversity and how these can impact individuals. My story covers the three Ds in relationship endings. Check out my Bio. I’m a self-published author and survivor of hidden emotional abuse that was revealed to me post-separation. If money were not a concern, I would buy a home and run a retreat to help women in recovery from trauma after any of the three Ds in relationship endings.
Starting a Business with No Money & Avoiding Pitfalls with Adam McCullough
Welcome to Mindset, Money, Success!
In this episode, entrepreneur and author Adam McCullough shares his journey from a council estate upbringing to launching multiple businesses without initial capital. Adam explains how he bootstrapped early e-commerce ventures using supplier credit, details a costly Amazon pricing mistake that taught him the true value of unit economics, and reveals how reading Life Leverage helped him overcome imposter syndrome and write his book, How to Start a Business with No Money.
Best Moments
The £1 Phone Cover Flipping Hustle: Adam recalls buying a box of 1,000 phone covers for £1 each and selling them on eBay, kickstarting his e-commerce career.
Building a Toy Store with Zero Capital: Adam describes photographing products from physical catalogues, listing them online, and using 30-day supplier credit terms to fulfil orders before paying for stock.
The 20p Amazon Discount Trap: Discovering after a record Christmas season that dropping prices by 10p on Amazon caused a 20p loss on every order once packaging and platform fees were factored in.
Beating Procrastination with the 9 am Writing Hour: Shifting from doing house chores all day on Fridays to committing to a strict 1-hour daily morning writing routine to finish his book.
Key Takeaways
Bootstrap via Smart Cash Flow: You don't need massive startup capital if you leverage credit terms and list products online before purchasing inventory.
Protect Margins Against the 'Race to the Bottom': High turnover can mask losses, making it critical to factor in shipping, packaging, and platform fees rather than blindly undercutting competitors.
Outsource and Delegate to Scale: To grow beyond a plateau and achieve true freedom, business owners must transition from doing every task themselves to systemising operations.
Create a Cash-Flow Transition Bridge: Running a side hustle alongside full-time work or temping helps maintain income security while building a new enterprise.

Stripping Away the Past: Finding Spiritual Awakening in India
Episode Intro
In this episode of Mindset Money Success, Loraine sits down with Annick Maria Ruelens, an author and survivor from Belgium who has navigated a life of extreme highs and lows. After years of battling hard drug addiction, a decade in the sex industry, and overcoming significant trauma, Annick shares how she reclaimed her life through radical determination, a transformative six-month journey to India, and the power of spiritual discipline. Now an author and aspiring speaker, Annick’s story is a testament to the fact that no matter how deep the "void," it is possible to turn any loss into a sensational comeback.
Best Moments
Breaking the Cycle of Addiction: After three years of hard drug use left her a "skeleton" and a "zombie," Annick describes the moment she begged for help and completed rehab with such determination that she never touched substances again.
The Decision to Leave the Sex Industry: Annick reflects on the "lower vibrations" of stripping and sex work, explaining how she eventually chose to walk away from the money and "highs" to regain her self-respect, even when it meant facing massive debt.
Spiritual Rebirth in India: Annick recounts her most transformative time—spending six months in India alone, undergoing intense physical "cleanses" like Panchakarma, and experiencing "sacred sexuality" in tantric retreats that moved her to tears.
The Kitchen Pitch: In a display of her "superpower" of focus, Annick shares how she filmed a one-minute pitch for Simon Squibb’s Help Bank in her kitchen while cooking stew, receiving a call back in just 20 minutes.
Key Takeaways
Determination is a Superpower: Annick emphasises that once you hold a vision and remain focused, no amount of "disbalance" can permanently knock you off track.
The Necessity of Total Closure: To truly start a new life, you must be willing to completely close off the old one. You cannot build a new version of yourself while still clinging to the habits or environments of the past.
Healing is a Layered Process: From overcoming drug addiction to stopping 27 years of antidepressants and later using Taoist practices to heal from a porn addiction, Annick shows that personal growth requires continuous work and different tools at different stages.
Together We Are Stronger: While individual vision is powerful, connecting with like-minded people through networks like the Help Bank or collaborative books creates a much stronger foundation for helping others through your story.

Chat With Kristine. Somatic Solutions: Reshaping the Nervous System Through Art and Movement
Intro In this episode of Mindset Money Success, host Loraine Marshall welcomes back coach Kristine McPeak to explore the intersection of art, movement, and the nervous system.
Kristine shares her personal journey of navigating three misaligned relationships and how she used Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and Polyvagal Theory to "restart" her life in her 50s. They dive deep into why "just thinking positive" isn't enough and how simple, somatic tools can help you move from a state of "danger" to one of safety and regulation.
4 Best Moments
The "Wine and Paint" Breakthrough: Kristine recounts a pivotal moment at a painting party where she abandoned the instructor's rules to get "messy" with her colours. This breakthrough helped her realise that trying to "fit in" was preventing her from enjoying the process, a lesson she now teaches other women.
"Farting Around with Friends": Kristine explains the philosophy behind her uniquely named Zoom art classes. By drawing with the opposite hand or engaging in "safe" art, she helps participants confront their inner critics and break free from rigid routines that make the years march by too quickly.
The "VOO" Demonstration: Kristine introduces her favourite regulation tool: the "Voo" sound. She explains how making a deep vocal vibration deeper than a speaking voice can impact your nervous system, regardless of whether you are in fight-or-flight or feeling shut down
The Smoke Detector Analogy: Kristine provides a powerful metaphor for the nervous system, comparing it to a smoke detector that can't tell the difference between a house fire and burnt bacon. She explains how somatic work "shows" the detector that the alarm is a false one.
4 Key Takeaways
The 80/20 Rule of Somatics: While mindset work (like CBT) addresses 20% of the messages sent between the brain and body, somatic work addresses the 80% of messages that travel from the body to the brain To change your life, you must address the "foundation" (the body) before the "house" (the mindset)
The Power of Noticing: The "missing piece" in many healing modalities is the act of noticing what is different after using a regulation tool. Reshaping the nervous system requires consciously acknowledging when a tool like sound, movement, or touch has created a shift toward safety
Creative Play as Regulation: Engaging in art and "piquing our curiosity" isn't just a hobby; it’s a biological necessity to prevent our days from blending together as we age Adventure and play help keep the nervous system from getting stuck in "familiar" but stagnant routines
Three Free Categories of Regulation: You don't need expensive therapy to begin reshaping your system Kristine highlights three broad, free categories for regulation: Breath and Sound (like humming or singing), Movement, and Touch (like applying pressure to your feet or giving yourself a "self-hug". Mindfulness and acceptance.
