Ep.36 - Are You Undervaluing the Skills People Will Pay You For? with Koren Hosnell
🎙️ Are You Undervaluing the Skills People Will Pay You For? with Koren Hosnell
What if the skills that feel completely natural to you are actually the ones other people would happily pay you for?
In this episode of Creators Conversations, I sit down with Koren Hosnell, founder of Clear Business Solutions, to talk about what happens when you stop dismissing what comes naturally to you, and start recognising the value in what you already know.
Koren spent more than 20 years working behind the scenes in trade and service-based businesses, building an incredible depth of knowledge in operations, systems and processes. But when she stepped out on her own, she realised something many business owners experience:
She didn't think what she knew was particularly special.
Because it came naturally to her, she assumed everyone else knew it too.
We talk about Koren's journey from operations manager to business owner, and how starting her own business required her to do something she'd never really had to do before, put herself at the front and learn how to articulate and sell her own knowledge and expertise.
Koren also shares how her business has evolved over the past two and a half years. She initially leaned heavily into the tech side of what she did because it felt tangible, easy to explain and safely within her comfort zone. But as her confidence grew, she began recognising that the real value she brought was much bigger: decades of operational experience and an ability to take someone's vision and work out how to actually make it happen.
In this conversation, we explore:
Why the things that feel easy to you can be the hardest skills to recognise as valuable
The transition from working behind the scenes to becoming the face of your own business
Why articulating what you do can feel so much harder when you're selling your own expertise
How Koren turned 20+ years of experience into a business of her own
Why your first offer doesn't have to be where your business stays
Building a business around your strengths — rather than following someone else's version of growth or success
And why recognising the value in what you already know can change the way you show up, sell and build your business
I also share a recent moment where I caught myself doing exactly the same thing... questioning the value of a strategy day because the work had felt too easy. Sometimes the things we can do almost instinctively are valuable precisely because they don't come that easily to everyone else.
If you've ever thought, “But everyone knows that…”, “That's nothing special…” or “Surely people wouldn't pay me for that?” this conversation might make you look at your own experience a little differently.
Because there may be far more value in what comes naturally to you than you realise.

Ep.35 - The Messy Middle of Motherhood, Marriage & Identity with Nathalie Biviano
🎙️ The Messy Middle of Motherhood, Marriage & Identity with Nathalie Biviano
What happens when becoming a mother changes not only your life… but your relationship, your identity and the work you want to do in the world?
In this episode of Creators Conversations, I sit down with relationship coach Nathalie Biviano for an honest conversation about motherhood, marriage, identity and the business that grew from her own lived experience.
Nathalie shares the moment in her own marriage that became a turning point — holding her six-month-old baby, trying to finish some work, and realising that despite deeply loving each other, she and her husband had somehow reached a place where they were completely misunderstanding one another.
That experience eventually led Nathalie to discover matrescence — the profound transformation a woman goes through when she becomes a mother — and gave her language for something so many women experience but don't understand.
We talk about why becoming a mother isn't about trying to get back to the woman you were before, and how that identity shift can ripple through our relationships, careers and businesses.
But Nathalie's journey into the work she does today wasn't immediate.
She went from working in the family automotive business and knowing deep down that there had to be something more for her, to spending years battling imposter syndrome and questioning whether she was qualified to build a business around something she cared so deeply about.
And this is where Nathalie shares something I think so many women in business need to hear:
Action precedes clarity.
It took Nathalie five years to really clarify who she serves and how she wants to serve them. She didn't figure it all out and then build the business.
The clarity came through taking action, experimenting, having conversations and being willing to do the imperfect work along the way.
In this episode, we chat about:
The messy middle of marriage after motherhood
What matrescence is and why so many women have never heard of it
The identity shift that happens when we become mothers
Why one person changing can transform the dynamic of a relationship
Nathalie's journey from the family automotive business to relationship coaching
Navigating imposter syndrome when she first felt called to this work
Why action precedes clarity in business
How Nathalie's niche and business model have evolved over five years
Rebuilding confidence and financial independence after motherhood
The significance of making her first $50K in business
The fears that surfaced when she decided to invest significantly in growing her business
Creating a business that protects her capacity as a mother, wife and business owner
Why she's now leaning into speaking and in-person experiences
This conversation is such a powerful reminder that the messy middle doesn't necessarily mean something has gone wrong.
Sometimes, it's simply where we're figuring out who we're becoming — in our relationships, in motherhood, and in business.

Ep.34 - The Accidental Entrepreneur with Ilona Teremi
What if some of the best opportunities in business are the ones you never planned for?
Ilona Teremi describes herself as an accidental entrepreneur.
After 26 years as a commercial lawyer, becoming a business owner wasn't part of some carefully mapped-out plan. It started with a conversation, an unexpected opportunity and a willingness to say yes.
That decision became one of many sliding-door moments that would eventually lead Ilona and her husband Michael to become the franchise owners of BNI Gold Coast to Tweed.
In this episode of Creators Conversations, Ilona shares the journey behind the business, from starting her own law firm and discovering BNI while looking for clients, to moving to the Gold Coast, buying another business and eventually stepping into the organisation she now leads.
But this conversation is about much more than networking.
We talk about being open to the opportunities you don't see coming, having the confidence to take a leap of faith, and surrounding yourself with people who sometimes see possibilities for you before you can see them for yourself.
Ilona also shares a philosophy that has served her throughout her career:
If you don't ask, the answer is always no.
We explore the importance of asking for help, knowing your strengths, leaning on the expertise of others and allowing people to support you along the way.
And we talk about something I want to normalise for women in business, celebrating ourselves.
Ilona shares why she believes more business owners should put themselves forward for awards, not simply for the recognition, but because the process forces us to stop, look back and acknowledge just how much we've actually achieved.
In this episode, we chat about:
How Ilona became an "accidental entrepreneur" after 26 years as a commercial lawyer
The sliding-door moments that shaped her career and business journey
Why being open to opportunity has played such a big role in her success
Having the confidence to say yes and take a leap of faith
Why "if you don't ask, the answer is always no"
The power of having the right people around you in business
Asking for help and leaning into the expertise of others
Why Ilona believes business owners should put themselves forward for recognition and awards
Taking the time to acknowledge how far you've come
The challenge of looking after your energy when you're someone who loves to work hard
Gratitude, personal growth and making sure you evolve alongside your business
The power of community, connection and referrals in growing a sustainable business
Ilona's story is a beautiful reminder that we don't always need to know exactly where we're going.
Sometimes we just need to stay curious, surround ourselves with good people and be open to the opportunities we didn't see coming.
