Denise on The Property Management Podcast
In this episode of the Property Management Podcast, I spoke with host Kylie Walker about what really happens when you stop playing small and start fully owning your worth, especially when it comes to money.
We looked at how easy it is in industries like property management to slip into hustle mode, undercharge, and hold back from raising fees or pursuing your dreams because it doesn’t feel realistic. But often, the real issue isn’t the industry – it’s your mindset.
In this episode we explore:
The 3 most common money blocks that show up in business and how to identify yours
Why do we tie our worth to how hard we work, and how to break free from that pattern
What stops property managers from charging more, and how to shift it
How to stop discounting your fees and start standing in your value
The mindset shift that helped Denise manifest her dream home
Why decluttering is one of the most powerful manifesting tools
How to get the right energy to attract new clients, opportunities, and income
Simple rituals) to calm your nervous system and reset your mindset
How to surround yourself with possibility and stop playing small

Denise on the Goals, Grit & Some Woo Woo Sh*t Podcast
I had such a fun and refreshing chat on this episode of the Goals, Grit and Some Woo Woo Sh*t Podcast about one of my favorite topics — making money feel safe, fun, and shame-free. If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at the idea of manifesting while also secretly hoping it works, you are absolutely my kind of person.
We talked about money blocks, abundance without burnout, and why self-sabotage can sneak in the moment things start going well. I even did a little live coaching during the episode, so you’ll hear some real-time breakthroughs too.
What we covered:
Why I believe almost everyone has some form of money trauma
How to rewrite old stories about money, worth, and success
Why manifesting isn’t just about staying positive
How to build a thriving, abundant life without burning out
Giving yourself full permission to like money and feel good about it
The real reason charging for your work can feel so hard
How to stop self-sabotaging as your success grows
Denise on the Creating Wellness from Within Podcast
I had such a fun and honest conversation with Amy Zellmer on her podcast, and this time we tackled a topic I get asked about all the time — how I run a multi-million dollar business while living with ADHD.
ADHD can show up in so many different ways, especially for women. Often we’re managing not only our own wellness, but also caring for everyone else, juggling business, family, and trying to keep it all together.
In this episode, I shared some of the tools, workarounds, and mindset shifts that have helped me build success without burning out.
Amy and I also talked about the importance of designing your business to fit your energy, your strengths, and your reality — instead of constantly trying to force yourself into someone else's version of productivity. Whether you're neurodivergent or just tired of traditional business advice that doesn't take your wellness into account, I hope this episode gives you permission to do things your own way.
What we covered:
My experience navigating ADHD as a business owner
Creating systems that support your energy, not drain it
Why rest, simplicity, and structure matter so much
The importance of self-compassion in entrepreneurship
Letting go of guilt when you do things differently
Redefining productivity on your own terms
This episode is especially for anyone who feels overwhelmed by expectations and wants a more sustainable way to build success.
Denise on the LifePilot Podcast
This conversation with host Natalie Sisson on the LifePilot Podcast was one of the most honest, vulnerable chats I’ve had in a long time and I’m so glad we captured it.
We talked about something I know so many women are grappling with: Can you really have it all (success, rest, creativity, and joy) without burning out? I shared my own journey of reaching peak income (and peak exhaustion), and what happened when I finally gave myself permission to slow all the way down.
That included selling properties, stepping back from launches, and taking an 18-month sabbatical to recalibrate everything - from my business model to how I spend my mornings. These days? I’m dancing again (yes, ballet!), cross-stitching, and remembering who I am outside of constant productivity.
We also unpacked the deeper layers of burnout, like people-pleasing, over-functioning, and the belief that asking for help is somehow a weakness. This episode is especially for you if you’ve ever felt guilty for resting or wondered if your success story is allowed to change.
Because real self-care isn’t a bubble bath, it’s the courage to change your mind, set boundaries, and redesign your life from the inside out.
We explored:
What “having it all” actually means (and how to redefine it)
The emotional cost of doing everything for everyone
Setting boundaries in motherhood, business, and life
Why I took an 18-month sabbatical—and what it taught me
The art of asking for support (even when it feels hard)
Letting go of dreams that no longer fit
The power of living and working in seasons
If you’re feeling the call to do less—but better—this episode will speak right to your heart. 💛
Denise on The Business of Executive Coaching Podcast
I had such a great time chatting with Ellie Scarf on this episode of The Business of Executive Coaching Podcast on this episode—we went deep into all things money mindset, pricing, and the stories we carry from childhood that still shape how we earn, spend, and hold money today.
I shared a bit of my own journey—from growing up in housing commission on the Central Coast of Australia, to creating Money Bootcamp and supporting thousands of women worldwide to heal their relationship with money.
Like so many coaches and entrepreneurs, I’ve had to do the work myself—and I’m still doing it. Because money mindset isn’t just about spreadsheets, it’s about how you feel about money, and what you believe you’re allowed to have.
We talked about early money memories, pricing blocks, and the myth that you need everything perfectly figured out before starting. We even got into the idea of your “new zero”—that sneaky upper limit that determines how much you’re comfortable holding, even when more is available.
Whether you’re still figuring out your rates, struggling to keep money once it comes in, or just feeling stuck in old stories, this episode is packed with real talk and practical shifts to help you move forward with more ease and clarity.
