A lot has changed behind the scenes, and in this episode, I’m finally ready to share what’s coming next. Over the past year, I’ve been navigating the realities of growing businesses, rebuilding after some incredibly difficult circumstances, and learning how to stop putting myself last in the process. I’ve had to recognize when I’m the bottleneck, when it’s time to push forward, and when it’s…
We all create stories in our heads about what we have to do before we're allowed to succeed, be happy, or move forward. The problem? Most of those stories aren't real. In this solo episode of Operation: Be, I share one of the biggest mindset shifts I've had in years after facing overwhelming challenges in both business and life. From discovering fraud in a company I invested in, to rebuilding…
In this episode of Operation: Be, I sit down with my friend Ashley Maland for a conversation that felt both deeply personal and incredibly timely. We talk about self-worth, healing, identity, mindset, and what it means to keep moving forward when life doesn't go according to plan. Ashley shares the powerful belief she's finally embraced—that she's worthy of love, success, and belonging exactly as…
Some seasons of life feel heavy. Not because you’re failing…but because you’re growing. In this episode of Operation Be, I’m talking about what it really looks like to navigate pressure, stress, and major growth as a business owner and human being…without losing yourself in the process. Over the last year, I’ve experienced some incredibly hard and transformative moments across my businesses and…
Let’s clear something up… You’re not overwhelmed. You’re overextended. In this episode of Operation Be, I’m breaking down the difference, and why it matters more than you think. Because what feels like anxiety…chaos…even excitement sometimes? Is often just you trying to do more than your time and capacity can actually hold. We’re getting into how to spot overextension before it turns into burnout,…
Let’s talk about something that doesn’t get named enough…but affects everything: Emotional load. And no, it’s not just “being emotional.” In this episode of Operation Be, I’m breaking down what emotional load actually looks like in real life: the constant mental tabs, the anticipating, the remembering, the invisible weight that so many people (especially women) carry every single day. From my own…
Let’s talk about something that looks like support…but often creates more stress. In this episode of Operation Be, I’m unpacking a dynamic I’ve experienced too often: sharing that I’m overwhelmed, only to have people start deciding for me what I can and can’t handle. Information gets withheld. Tasks get delayed. People try to “protect” my time…without asking. And that’s not support. That’s…
If you’ve ever been told to “pick one thing” or “niche down,” this episode is for you. In this episode, I open up about being labeled a “serial entrepreneur” and the pressure that comes with it. After investing in a $10,000 program that pushed me into a business model that didn’t fit, I realized something important: ✨ The problem wasn’t my ambition. ✨ The problem was when I stopped trusting…
In this episode of Operation Be, I sit down with Emily Frisella — entrepreneur, best-selling author, COO of Arete Syndicate and 44Seven Media, and founder of Paper & Plan Co. and Women in Business. Emily is known for her no-BS, real-world approach to leadership, and this conversation delivers exactly that. We dive into what it actually looks like to run multiple businesses without rigid routines,…
This last week was…wild. In this episode of Operation Be, I’m sharing what happens when multiple chaotic moments stack on top of each other — and how those moments revealed something important: peace doesn’t come from perfect circumstances. It comes from self-trust. When you build integrity with yourself — keeping small promises, speaking honestly, owning mistakes, asking questions, and following…
This episode wasn’t supposed to go this way. I had a plan. I was ready to talk about reinvention. And then a simple phone call about a truck recall tipped the scale. In real time, I felt the overwhelm hit — not because of the truck, but because of everything else. The invisible mental load of running businesses. The constant tabs open in my brain. The 1099s, staffing, client work, long commutes,…
