Unfrazzling your business with Louise Miller
What if the reason you’re not getting stuff done isn’t because you need a better planner?
Or a colour-coded Google Calendar?
Or a 5am miracle routine? 😬
On this week’s The Show (Off) I sat down with Louise Miller, productivity mentor, founder of Make It Happen Club and host of the Unfrazzle podcast.
And we had a very important conversation.
Because Louise doesn’t believe productivity is about cramming more into less time.
She believes:
👉 True productivity is about space, not systems.
We talked about:
✨ Why most people are asking the wrong question when they say “How can I be more productive?”
✨ The pressure to find your Big Capital P Purpose (exhausting)
✨ Trial and error in business (SPOILER ALERT: nobody came out of the womb as an expert)
✨ Why adding more content isn’t always the answer (sometimes less really is more)
We also talked about something I LOVE.
As a child, I was told not to show off.
Louise was told to speak up more.
Different messages. Same underlying theme:
“There’s something wrong with how you naturally are.”
What I admire about Louise is this:
She hasn’t turned herself into a loud productivity robot. Shouting to be seen.
She’s built a business that fits her; quiet, thoughtful and intentional.
And the result?
A way of working that helps visionary solo business owners actually get the right things done without turning into frazzled productivity machines.

Show Notes
Louise Miller, productivity mentor, time magician, founder of Make It Happen Club and host of the Unfrazzle podcast joins me on this week’s The Show (Off).
We talk about her different approach to productivity for visionary solo business owners.
Louise explains that many people assume productivity means managing time or cramming more into less time, but she believes true productivity comes from slowing down and creating space to think, prioritise, and focus on what matters.
She shares her career journey from office manager roles, stress and anxiety, and exploring self-employment through copywriting and VA work, to realising her real value is helping people cut through chaos and get the right things done with side-by-side support, not rigid systems.
The conversation also covers trial-and-error in finding out what you want to do in life, pressure to define a “purpose,” and Louise’s experience of being encouraged to speak up more at school while avoiding standing out after being laughed at.
Louise explains how she’s built her business to fit her personality and has learned to trust her instincts; such as keeping Make It Happen Club focused on quiet space rather than adding more content.
