Vision To Grow
Welcome to Vision To Grow, the podcast for vision-driven entrepreneurs who are brilliant at what they do—but buried under the weight of backend chaos. I’m your host, a systems-obsessed, straight-talking Integrator who lives for turning big ideas into clean, streamlined execution. 🎯
With a background in corporate operations, recruitment, and consulting, I bring over 15 years of experience building high-performing teams and scalable systems. My mission? To help you ditch the firefighting and finally step fully into your CEO role. 👏
Each episode dives into the real-world strategies behind sustainable business growth—no fluff, no theory overload. Whether it's building out team operations, systemizing client delivery, or finally getting out of your own inbox, I bring you practical, done-for-you insights that simplify your business and your life. I blend strategic thinking with gritty, in-the-trenches implementation—because knowing what to do isn’t enough if you’re still doing it all yourself. I work behind the scenes with visionary business owners to create clarity, flow, and breathing room in their days. 👥
I’m a Northern English mum of two, now living in Australia, and I know what it’s like to juggle family, business, and the occasional spreadsheet for a family holiday. From navigating after-school chaos to managing multi-million-dollar operations, I’ve seen it all, and I’m here to help you cut through the noise and scale smart. If you’re ready to grow your business without burning out, you’re in the right place. Got a question or want to connect? Send me a DM on Instagram—I love a voice drop! ❤️

Stop “Shoulding” All Over Yourself: Why Smart Founders Struggle with Continuous Improvement
Ever feel like you should be improving your systems, scaling your team, and streamlining your ops - but you’re already running on fumes? You’re not alone.
In today's episode I open up about the struggle to even get this conversation recorded (because, of course, life and business don’t always cooperate) before diving into what it really means to pursue continuous improvement as a service-based founder.
From being the do-it-all technician to stepping into your CEO role, this episode unpacks the messy middle - where passion meets process and growth requires more than just grit. Drawing from classics like The E-Myth and Traction, Chrissy breaks down why so many founders get stuck in the day-to-day and what it takes to build a business that can actually grow without you holding every string.
Inside this episode:
✨ Why “shoulding” yourself into progress actually holds you back
✨ The evolution from service provider to visionary CEO (and why it’s harder than it sounds)
✨ The real barriers to continuous improvement - from burnout to bandwidth
✨ How Fractional Integrator and Operations Support can help you scale with less chaos
✨ Why asking for help isn’t a weakness - it’s a growth strategy
You don’t have to do it all (and definitely not all at once). It’s time to stop “shoulding” all over yourself and start creating a business that supports the visionary you’re becoming.
