Are you stalling your progress waiting for the perfect moment?
In this raw and real episode, I reflect on perspective-shifting conversations with badass women I would never have met had I continued waiting for the right moment.
As the end of the school year sneaks up on us and we ease into a more laid-back vibe, I detail my own journey of stepping out of my comfort zone to join new networking groups. These moves led to meaningful collaborations and incredible connections.
I detail the concept of "failing slowly" — the trap of waiting for the perfect moment and how it can cripple your true potential. I'll share a moment recently in Las Vegas when the realization of how I've failed slowly for so long hit me in the gut and had me completely breaking down in a room of 100+ women.
As we pause to reflect and recharge over the next few months, let's commit to embracing the opportunities ahead. And stay tuned for more powerful guest episodes where I'll bring you stories from the remarkable women leaders I've connected with along the way.

Build a business debt-free?
Yes, please.
On this week's episode, I sit down with Kimberly Graham, a powerhouse who built a six-figure business without diving into debt. Together, we move past the usual savings advice and dig deep into the heart of financial literacy and empowerment. Why do so many of us feel lost when it comes to finances? Kimberly, a master of money management, gives us the essential tools we often miss out on due to gaps in our education and financial systems.
Kimberly doesn’t just crunch numbers; she completely transforms how we think about success and personal values. Our conversation sheds light on the subjective nature of success, encouraging listeners to reshape financial goals based on their own dreams, not societal expectations. We uncover the danger of linking wealth to wisdom and talk about how emotional intelligence is key to financial stability. Sharing stories of overcoming debt and the freedom that comes from being in control of your money, you'll be inspired to redefine what financial success looks like for you.
We explore the emotional and strategic aspects of money and entrepreneurship, especially for women balancing business and family. From the necessity of an emergency fund to the myth that high income equals financial savvy, and the breakthroughs clients achieve when they connect their finances with their emotions, we shed light on the multifaceted relationship we all have with money.
If you're ready to take charge of your financial future and make choices that align with your deepest values, this episode is for you.

Your website into a powerful piece of your business puzzle. Join me and Kelsey Romine as we dive into why your site should do more than just exist—it should tell your story and entice your visitors to act.
We’ll explore how the right images, fonts, and colors can make your website a magnet for your ideal audience, and we’ll tackle the typical traps that many fall into when designing their online store front.
In a more personal segment, I open up about my own shift from being a teacher to becoming a business owner. We’ll walk through my journey, discussing the challenges and victories I encountered along the way, especially how becoming a mother influenced my career path and pushed me towards seeking that ever-elusive harmony between work and life. This is for all you fellow women entrepreneurs out there: remember, don’t let where you are today limit where you can go tomorrow.
To cap off our conversation, Kelsey and I pay homage to the unsung heroes—teachers. We share our own experiences and the profound impact educators have on shaping futures. It's all about being true to yourself and using that authenticity to thrive both in the classroom and in business.
So, whether you’re here to gather some pro tips for your next website or to find inspiration in our personal tales of growth and resilience, this episode is for you.

Stories sell. Period.
Case in point: have you ever closed a good book with a sense of connection and satisfaction at the journey you've just been through? That's the power of storytelling, and it's not just for books!
This week I'm joined by copywriting whiz Jennifer DeWitt to unravel the art of spinning tales that captivate clients without the hard sell.
Jennifer helps entrepreneurs weave their narratives into marketing gold, proving that even the most everyday experiences can capture your audience's heart and shares how these stories can enrich our lives and businesses.
We talk about how to balance content that serves with stories that sell, and dissect how to turn client transformations into testimonials that don't just sing your praises but tell a tale of real-life magic.
We wrap with a heart-to-heart on navigating the entrepreneurial waters while keeping our personal life afloat. Touching on my shift from education to entrepreneurship to Jennifer's own journey, we explore the importance of authenticity and empathy, both in client relations and personal endeavours. It's about finding your circle, setting boundaries, and valiantly wearing the many hats life throws our way – all while crafting a narrative that rings true to who we are, in and out of the boardroom.

Commitment is nothing more than a promise you make... in this case, to yourself.
This episode is all about the transformative power of self-promise—it's the self-made commitment that keeps your business vision alive and thriving.
Over the last 3 episodes, we talked about the combined strength of purpose, priorities and your 5 capacities (aka power) in relation to consistent success.
But none of them work if you don't commit.
For an entrepreneur, promises are more than just words; they're the lifeblood of our commitment to success. It's the promise to stick with it, to follow through, and to get support when you need it. To promise yourself you don't HAVE to go it alone.
It's a short and sweet one this week, but it's the one that makes it all mean something.
If a transition from non-stop hustle to a life-serving business is what you're after, remember, my door is always open for those who want to weave these 4 Ps into the tapestry of their own business ethos.
