Through EFT tapping and intuitive guidance, Zoe helps capable leaders dismantle the subconscious beliefs shaping how they show up in work, money and visibility.

She started her digital consultancy from a really visceral urge to be independent.
She needed autonomy. She needed to work in a way that supported her rather than burning her out. She had the qualifications, the experience, and the technical skills. On paper, she should have been able to build something stable.

But the reality was much harder than she expected.
Every rejection felt personal.
Every quiet month felt threatening.
Every gap in income felt like confirmation of a past I was trying to escape.

She realised she wasn’t just building a business, she was constantly negotiating with this deep fear of instability and recreating the familiar. It was gross.

She was basically collapsing while hustling for freedom and it meant every small business moment carried way more emotional weight than it should have.

A client saying no didn’t just mean “not this project.” It felt like evidence that she might not make it and I wasn't enough etc.

That was the shadow I was dealing with.

On this podcast Zoe shares how she's gotten out of it and how EFT tapping has helped her in the long run.
