Justine Malone

With cool confidence, truthful answers and meaningful conversations, we learn what it really takes to start a business and build a brand.
This chat with Mira Claudia hit deep. I brought her on because she’s a business coach...but not the usual kind. She works with founders on a really human level, helping you get clear on how your life, your business, your family, and your identity all fit together. Because let’s be honest! they do. Your business doesn’t sit in a little box outside of your life. It affects your mental health, your energy, your self-worth, your relationships, the way you show up every day. And in a world that’s always on, that pressure is huge.
We talk about how important it is to align with what you do. To reconnect. Because when you’re aligned, you’re in flow. You’re energised. Things grow. But when you’re not, it’s draining. And sometimes we stay stuck in something just because stopping feels too scary.
This episode is about more than business tips. It’s about checking in. It’s about feeling seen. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to keep pushing if it’s not working. That there is a way to build something that actually supports the life you want...not takes you away from it.
So if you’re feeling a bit off, a bit disconnected, or just know there’s got to be a better way… this is for you.
