    Why You Should Stop Trying to Have All the Answers | Kenny Primrose

    Join your host, Ashleigh King, as she welcomes Kenny Primrose, teacher, writer, and host of The Examined Life podcast, for a thoughtful and deeply resonant conversation about wisdom, curiosity, and what it really means to live well in a world of constant noise.


    From the audacity of writing letters to David Attenborough and Gordon Brown to find "the right questions," to navigating the flighty impulses of an undiagnosed ADHD mind, Kenny shares how leaning into discomfort has reshaped his purpose. Together, Ashleigh and Kenny explore the power of storytelling, the dopamine hit of "time bending," and the redemptive nature of facing the things we usually run away from.


    Themes of this conversation:


    🌵 The power of a good question 

    How asking the right things can be more redemptive and life-giving than having all the answers.


    🌵 Living deliberately in a changing world 

    Stepping back to notice "the water we’re swimming in" and how clear writing leads to clear thinking.


    🌵 Shy bairns get nowt 

    The "audacity" of reaching out to dream guests and why interesting people are often just waiting for a compelling reason to say yes.


    🌵 ADHD, dopamine, and "time bending"

    Ā Navigating time blindness, the rush of a deadline, and finding natural ways to regulate a restless mind through exercise and presence.


    🌵 Facing the dark to find the light 

    Kenny’s journey into a podcast season focused on death, dying, and grief, and why we must sit with sadness to truly grow.


    🌵 Validation vs. Value 

    Why your happiness shouldn't depend on external likes, and the Disney-inspired wisdom of being "enough" regardless of the win.


    This episode is for anyone navigating:


    • The search for deeper meaning and wisdom
    • Living with (or suspecting) neurodivergence
    • Creative burnout and the "last 10%" of a project
    • The challenge of staying present when you want to "outrun your problems"
    • A desire to bridge divides through better dialogue

    The 5 Bottlenecks Killing Your Business Growth | Laurie Stirling

    In this insightful and empowering episode of Nurture Your Zest, host Ashleigh King sits down with business exit strategist and operations expert Laurie Stirling to unpack what it really takes to build a business that doesn’t rely on you to survive. From her early beginnings in Australia to building and exiting a 14-year business, Laurie shares a powerful story of resilience, reinvention and redefining what success looks like on your own terms.


    With honesty, clarity and a refreshingly practical approach, Laurie dives into the systems, mindset shifts and strategic thinking required to scale sustainably.


    Key topics discussed:


    🌵 From survival to strategy


    Ā Laurie shares her journey growing up in challenging circumstances, the pivotal moment that shaped her relationship with money, and how that experience fuels her mission to help others build financial independence through business.


    🌵 Why you are not the problem in your business


    Ā Many founders believe they are the bottleneck, but Laurie explains why it’s almost always a system issue, and how shifting this mindset can unlock growth and reduce overwhelm.


    🌵 The 5 business bottlenecks every founder faces


    Ā From brand awareness to cash flow, Laurie breaks down the five key stages where businesses get stuck — and how understanding your bottleneck can transform your results.


    🌵 Stepping into the CEO role


    Ā Using the powerful ā€œcaptain of the shipā€ analogy, Laurie explains why founders must move beyond doing everything themselves and instead focus on vision, strategy and direction.


    🌵 Systems, delegation and scaling sustainably


    Ā If systems feel overwhelming, this episode offers practical, accessible ways to start — including how to document processes, delegate effectively and build a team that complements your strengths.


    🌵 Building a business that can run without you


    Ā Laurie shares how she transitioned from running a business to helping others step back, scale up, and even prepare for exit — creating freedom, flexibility and long-term value.


    🌵 Entrepreneurship, identity and mindset


    Ā From fear of visibility to capacity challenges, this conversation explores the internal blocks that hold founders back — and how to ā€œlock inā€ and take action anyway.

    In this vibrant and thought-provoking episode of Nurture Your Zest, host Ashleigh King sits down with neurodiversity advocate and community builder Holly Knight, founder of Learn, Grow, Thrive.


    Known for her unmistakable neon green hair and equally bright energy, Holly shares her deeply personal journey of discovering her neurodivergent identity, learning to unmask, and building spaces where young people feel seen, supported and empowered.


    With honesty, humour and refreshing bluntness, Holly reflects on the realities of growing up neurodivergent, navigating burnout, masking, social expectations and the pressure to ā€œhave life figured outā€ in your twenties.


    She also shares the powerful story behind Learn, Grow, Thrive,Ā  the programme she created to support neurodiverse young people aged 16–25 to find their passions, build confidence and explore meaningful opportunities beyond traditional pathways.

    Key topics discussed:


    🌵 Neurodiversity and self-acceptance
    Holly shares how discovering her ADHD and autism helped her better understand herself and why masking throughout school left her exhausted. She reflects on the journey of unmasking and why embracing her ā€œneon green energyā€ became a powerful act of self-acceptance.


    🌵 The power of authenticity and unmasking
    From being told she is ā€œtoo bluntā€ to learning how authenticity builds stronger relationships, Holly explores the importance of showing up as your true self, even when it challenges social norms.


    🌵 Learn, Grow, Thrive
    Holly explains how her experience of feeling unsupported as a young neurodivergent person inspired her to create Learn, Grow, Thrive, a project helping young people aged 16–25 discover their passions, develop skills and access opportunities often overlooked in traditional systems.


    🌵 Navigating burnout and boundaries
    Holly opens up about ADHD burnout, the challenge of saying ā€œyesā€ to everything that feels exciting, and the importance of setting boundaries, pacing yourself and learning when to rest.


    🌵 Finding purpose in your twenties
    The conversation explores the pressure many young people feel to achieve life milestones early, and why Holly believes your twenties should be about exploration, curiosity and discovering what truly matters to you.

    In this special International Women’s Day 2026 episode of Nurture Your Zest, Ashleigh King steps into the guest seat for a deeply personal and powerful conversation with Charlotte Nichols, founder of Harvey and Hugo and host of the PRsonal Podcast.


    For the first time, Ashleigh swaps interviewer for interviewee, opening up about grief, trauma, entrepreneurship, money mindset, self-worth, and what it truly means to build a business rooted in purpose.


    With honesty and vulnerability, she shares how the murder of her best friend at 21 reshaped her relationship with storytelling, how trauma can quietly influence leadership and identity, and how reclaiming her voice through podcasting became an act of healing.


    This episode is a celebration of women’s resilience, creativity and courage, and a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness, but a superpower.


    Key topics discussed:


    🌵 Personal grief and growth


    Ashleigh reflects on losing her best friend Joe to murder while studying journalism, and how that trauma caused her to step away from her dream career. She shares how grief resurfaces unexpectedly, how trauma responses show up in everyday life, and how storytelling can both heal and re-trigger.


    🌵 Flamingo Heights Podcast Studio


    Ashleigh shares the story behind Flamingo Heights, the bright, light-filled podcast studio she built after being made redundant and pivoting during COVID.


    🌵 Vulnerability as a superpower


    Ashleigh explores how smiling through trauma can be a coping mechanism, and how vulnerability, when handled responsibly, can unlock courage in others.


    🌵 Resilience, money mindset & entrepreneurial reality


    This episode also moves into the very real pressures of running a creative business.


    🌵 Community and support


    Ashleigh shares why she believes holding space for others is a gift — and why she’s learning to receive as much as she gives.

    The Software That Gave Surveyors Their Evenings Back | Paul King, Flow Mobile Surveying

    Join your host, Ashleigh King, as she welcomes Paul King – Co-Founder of Flow Software Solutions, host of The Modern Compliance Podcast, surveying software specialist, family man, and passionate champion of underdog businesses, for a grounded, energising and deeply practical conversation about entrepreneurship, community, industry change, and doing work that truly matters.


    From solving ā€œhair on fireā€ report-writing chaos in the surveying industry to protecting staff culture with unapologetic boundaries, Paul shares what it really takes to bootstrap a SaaS company, uplift clients, and build something sustainable without outside investment.


    Together, Ashleigh and Paul explore time, family, mould health, recurring revenue, leadership, podcasting, and what it means to grow a business without losing your values.


    Themes of this conversation:


    🌵 The real problem Flow solves


    Giving surveyors their evenings back – reclaiming time for tea with their families instead of writing reports at 10pm.


    🌵 David vs Goliath in business


    Why supporting small surveying firms matters, and how software can level the playing field against large corporate monopolies.


    🌵 Bootstrapping vs outside investment


    Building Flow Software Solutions from scratch, learning from failure, pivoting hard, and growing to 350+ clients without investors.


    🌵 Mould, health & hidden risk


    The reality of damp buildings, changing legislation, Awaab’s Law, and why indoor air quality is more important than we think.


    🌵 Boundaries & culture


    The ā€œtwo strikes rule,ā€ protecting staff from toxic clients, and why revenue should never come at the cost of values.


    🌵 Recurring revenue & employee incentives


    How a SaaS bonus structure aligns the whole team – and why sharing growth builds loyalty and momentum.


    🌵 Working with family


    Building a company with his brother and sister, the power of trust, and why familiarity can be a strength, not nepotism.


    🌵 Podcasting as growth


    Stepping into discomfort, finding confidence in public speaking, and using curiosity as a bridge to connection.


    🌵 Fatherhood & perspective


    How becoming a dad reshaped Paul’s relationship with work, safety, and legacy.


    🌵 Community over competition


    Why referrals, partnerships, and uplifting others create long-term business resilience.


    -


    Paul reminds us that good software gives people their time back, that values matter more than vanity metrics, and that business growth should feel human.
