In this special episode, Fiona revisits a deeply personal episode from 2020 about her late father, recorded less than a year after his passing. Six years on from his death, she reflects on how his wisdom continues to guide her business decisions—especially during challenging times.

You'll learn:

• The one powerful question her dad always asked that changed how she approaches worry and uncertainty in business
• Why commitment through the ups and downs is essential for any long-term business success
• How to assess whether your worries are actually worth your energy—and what to do instead
• The difference between dwelling on problems you can't control versus taking action on what you can
• Why maintaining optimism isn't about ignoring challenges, but about choosing how you respond to them
• A practical exercise to identify your current worries and determine which ones deserve your attention
• How to shift from a spiral of worry to a mindset of possibility and forward momentum

This episode was originally recorded during the 2020 lockdown and has been updated with new reflections for 2025. It's a reminder that we've weathered hard times before—and we can do it again.
