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.

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 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.
