Episode Highlights: Why No Podcast on Monday? A Personal Check-InFor the first time in over three years, there was no podcast episode on Monday. I want to share why this happened. Life has been a whirlwind with running two businesses, and I've recently found myself in a season where things didn't feel right until they really, really didn't feel right.  A Wake-Up Call: Panic and PerspectiveI had my first panic attack in years—chest pains, stress, and a huge wake-up call. It reminded me that growing two businesses is no joke, and sometimes you need to hit pause to reassess everything. This season forced me to confront some behaviors that went against everything I teach. I'm sharing these lessons so you can catch these patterns early, too. Taking Action: Prioritizing SPACESharing things I have had to prioritize and push pause on and how I am creating SPACE in 2025.  What is changing?

[250] Recovering From Making Mistakes as a Business Owner…here is my approach when you do Ok, we know making mistakes is part of the problem, but how the heck do we navigate that? In this episode, we dive into just that and we talk about the powerful practice of embracing mistakes and responding with integrity. Mistakes are inevitable, especially for business owners and leaders, but how you react to them can shape your growth and strengthen your relationships.  Whether you're managing a team, running a business, or navigating personal challenges, understanding how to handle mistakes can set you apart. Embracing Mistakes is Essential: Taking risks and making mistakes means you're taking action and moving forward. Instead of avoiding mistakes, give yourself credit for trying and use them as learning experiences. The Power of Integrity: When a mistake happens, how you respond is critical. Acknowledge it, check your ego, listen to feedback, and act in a way that prioritizes integrity and the well-being of everyone involved. Mistakes are not failures; they're opportunities for growth. Embracing feedback, dropping ego, and responding with integrity builds trust and resilience. This principle applies in business, leadership, and all areas of life.  Remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about handling the imperfect moments with grace and learning from them.Key Takeaways:Final Thoughts: Mistakes are not failures; they're opportunities for growth. Embracing feedback, dropping ego, and responding with integrity builds trust and resilience. This principle applies in business, leadership, and all areas of life.  Remember, it's not about being perfect—it's about handling the imperfect moments with grace and learning from them.

Hey, friends! Have you ever felt like you're working hard but not seeing the massive breakthroughs you're hoping for? Maybe you're aiming for small improvements, but deep down, you know you're capable of so much more. Today, we're diving into a powerful question: Is your vision too small? I'm going to share why thinking bigger, aiming for 10X growth, and focusing on the right actions can unlock exponential growth in both your life and business. So, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's get started! 1. The Danger of a Small VisionIt's easy to fall into the trap of setting safe, incremental goals. You know the ones—2X growth, small wins, and tiny improvements. But what if I told you that this could actually be holding you back from reaching your full potential? In this section, we'll discuss why a small vision keeps you playing it safe and limits your creativity and growth. 2. The Power of 10X ThinkingWhat happens when you shift from 2X thinking to a bold 10X vision? In this part of the episode, I'll explain how thinking 10X can actually be easier than focusing on small improvements. We'll break down the benefits of aiming higher, including increased clarity, focus, and the power to remove distractions that don't move you toward your big goals. 3. Real-Life Example: Shifting to a 10X VisionI'm going to share my personal experience of moving from small, safe goals to embracing a 10X mindset.

Breaking It Down: How to Implement 10X Thinking in Your LifeIt's one thing to talk about having a 10X vision, but how do you start making it a reality? I'll walk you through some actionable steps to begin thinking bigger, setting bigger goals, and focusing on the high-impact actions that will get you there. 5. Celebrating Your Wins Along the WayEven though the vision is big, we can't forget to celebrate the little wins along the way. I'll share why acknowledging your progress—no matter how small—is crucial to keeping the momentum going as you work toward your 10X goals. ConclusionSo, is your vision big enough? I hope this episode inspires you to expand your thinking, aim for the extraordinary, and take massive, consistent action toward your 10X future. Your dream life is waiting for you—let's go get it! Action Steps/Journal Prompts: Where is your vision currently limiting you? What would a 10X version of your current goal look like?

Book Mentioned: 10X Is Easier Than 2X by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy Quote of the Day:"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out, but matched with a 10X vision, and you create exponential growth that transforms your life and business beyond your wildest dreams."

In today's episode, we're diving into something many of us overlook—the power of celebration. I've noticed that for so many women, giving themselves permission to celebrate their wins feels unfamiliar or even uncomfortable. Instead of pausing to recognize their progress, they're often pushing forward, focused on the next goal or comparing themselves to others. But here's what you may not realize: celebrating your wins is about so much more than a quick pat on the back. It's a key part of staying motivated, building confidence, and actually enjoying your journey. My wish for you today is that you walk away feeling proud of your accomplishments and ready to celebrate them fully. Because when you learn to celebrate, you're not only acknowledging your growth—you're setting yourself up for even greater success. Key Points: Permission to Celebrate Fully: Many of us feel we have to “earn” the right to celebrate. Today, I'm encouraging you to break that belief and recognize that every step forward deserves acknowledgment. The Science of Celebration: Discover how celebration releases dopamine, helping you stay motivated and reinforcing positive behavior. Making Celebration a Habit: Learn how a weekly celebration practice can shift your focus to abundance, gratitude, and resilience. The Freedom of Detachment: By celebrating your unique path, you free yourself from the pressures of comparison. Long-Term Success Through Small Wins: Regular celebration keeps you committed to your long-term goals, creating a journey you actually enjoy. Practical ‘Micro-Celebrations': How to incorporate small, daily acknowledgments into your routine to build positivity and progress. Final Reflection on Self-Compassion: Treating yourself with kindness and celebrating the journey creates a powerful foundation for growth. Quote to Remember: "Each step forward is a victory in itself. Celebrate not only where you're going, but how far you've come. Every small win is a reminder that you are becoming who you were meant to be." Join the FREE workshop - From Overwhelmed to Organized Purchase a Morning + Productivity Journal HERE.

I'm opening up about a recent journey, shedding light on the importance of understanding ourselves more deeply, especially when it comes to the challenges we may not always recognize in ourselves. I discuss navigating burnout, feeling stuck despite strong systems, and the moment of discovering that life doesn't have to be as hard as we often make it. We'll touch on why awareness is so powerful and the unexpected transformations that can happen when you let yourself embrace change. For anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed, exhausted, or that they were fighting just to keep up, this episode is for you. It's about finding ease, recognizing that support is available, and understanding that sometimes, it's okay to seek out new tools or perspectives to help us thrive.

In this episode, I'm excited to share my thoughts on the transformative power of self-talk and how it can significantly impact both our happiness and success. I've personally experienced the profound difference that shifting my inner dialogue can make in achieving my goals, as well as my clients and I can't wait to dive into that with you! Self-talk is more than just background noise; it's the foundation of how we navigate our lives. It's the voice that can either uplift us or hold us back, and I've come to realize just how crucial it is to pay attention to that inner monologue. One of the biggest revelations on my journey has been understanding that you are not your thoughts—you can actually choose what you tell yourself. Mind-blowing, right? In this episode, I want to help you explore the ways negative self-talk can creep in and how we can reprogram it to work in our favor. I'll share personal experiences and insights on how our inner dialogue shapes our confidence, resilience, and ultimately our success. Together, we'll learn how to recognize the destructive patterns that limit our potential and replace them with empowering affirmations that set us up for success. Key Topics Covered: Understanding Self-Talk:We'll define what self-talk is and discuss how it acts as a filter for our experiences, influencing our emotions and decisions. The Impact of Self-Talk on Success:I'll share how positive self-talk has played a pivotal role in my journey and the journey of those I admire. We'll explore the contrast between uplifting and limiting thoughts and how they can shape our actions. Identifying Your Self-Talk Style:You'll have a chance to reflect on your own self-talk patterns and how they might be influencing your life. Reprogramming Your Inner Dialogue:I'll provide insights into reframing negative thoughts and embracing positive affirmations, drawn from my own experiences of growth and transformation.
