In this episode, you'll learn: What a couple's…
I defend my calendar like my life depends on it, because the life I'm building actually does. No recordings before 10, no meetings after 3, big rocks in first so no one else can take that time.

I'm 44 now, and there are a few things I wish I could tell the woman I was in my 20s and 30s. Not because I failed, but because I waited.

So if you keep putting your life on hold until you feel ready, this one's for you. In this…
Most of us raise our kids on autopilot, doing what our family always did without ever asking why.

I used to think respect was something you earned by being more impressive. So I built the business, raised the babies, did the hard things, and still walked into rooms and shrank, handing my authority to whoever looked more important. They weren't more impressive, they'd just stopped asking permission before I did. So if you're still shrinking in rooms you know you've earned your place in, this…
Most of us wait to feel ready before we do the scary stuff. I did that for years, and here's what I know now: "ready" never shows up.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why all the confidence-chasing in the world hasn't made you feel ready What conviction actually is, and why it…
When we look at the role we play in our own suffering, we can start to change things. As I've reflected through parts of my life, I can see now that I was a people pleaser. I was okay taking on everything and doing more without recognition or compensation. I spent so much energy trying not to step on other people's toes. The reality is that we train others on what we're willing to accept. In this…

Showing up could change everything for you.

If you know that you're meant for more, this episode is for you. So many women are living in a self-imposed jail; the prison of feeling like they have to be perfect.

Learn the mindset you need to have (that most women don't) when building a business. Doubt is a feeling that so many women business owners grapple with, yet we rarely speak about it out loud. This is especially true when it's the kind that creeps up right when everything is actually working out. I spent years in a cycle of waiting for the "perfect" time to do something, or waiting to feel ready,…
I could never bring myself to fully commit...until now. People are more invested in who is at the helm of businesses they buy from than ever before.

I'm revealing three hardships about finding success today, and I'm also sharing how you…
Would you ever fire the top-performing member of your team? You may not have realized this, but if you've hired someone to help you with your business, if you've brought on support in your personal life, or if you're a parent, you're actually a leader.
