In this episode, I'm bringing you behind the scenes of one of the most surreal and sacred moments in our family's journey — sitting on a mound of gravel on our land where we're building our future home. What looks like a simple photo of our twins on dirt is actually a decade in the making. Ten years of navigating marriage, paying off debt, learning to save, building a foundation of strategy, love, and communication — and facing all the fears and unknowns that come with big dreams. This episode is for anyone who's in the messy middle of building something — a home, a business, a better version of themselves. I'm sharing what it's really taken to get here, why it still doesn't feel real, and how we kept showing up even when we had no clue what we were doing. You'll also walk away with powerful coaching prompts to help you reflect on your own journey and stay anchored in your vision. Because whatever you're building? It's possible. It's worth it. And it's already unfolding — one day, one decision at a time. In This Episode, I Share: The surreal moment that stopped me in my tracks What 10 years of behind-the-scenes growth really looked like How we built a foundation without a blueprint The fear and freedom of doing something brand new Why your dream doesn't have to “feel real” yet to be happening 5 powerful coaching questions to help you take aligned action Journal Prompts: What vision are you building, even if it doesn't feel real yet? Where have you already shown up through fear, uncertainty, or obstacles — and come out stronger? What's one thing you can do this week to “be the who” that creates the results you want? What support or strategy would make your next big step feel more doable? If your future self could speak to you today, what would she say?

In this Episode, I share 5 creative ways to attract and engage clients for a profitable holiday season: Festive Content and Social Media Campaigns: Create holiday-themed content across your social media platforms. This could include visually appealing graphics, videos, or even interactive polls and quizzes related to the holiday season. Run a festive social media campaign with giveaways, discounts, or exclusive holiday-themed promotions. Encourage user participation through contests or challenges, and ask clients to share their holiday stories or experiences related to your products or services. Personalized Holiday Greetings: Send personalized holiday greetings to your clients. This could be in the form of emails, video messages, or even traditional holiday cards. Make sure to tailor the message to each client, expressing gratitude for their support throughout the year. Include exclusive offers or discounts in the holiday greetings as a token of appreciation. Personalized communication can foster a stronger connection with your clients. Virtual Holiday Events: Host virtual holiday events such as webinars, workshops, or Q&A sessions related to your industry or products. Make the events interactive and engaging, and offer exclusive insights or tips that can benefit your clients. Incorporate a festive theme into the virtual events, and consider organizing virtual social hours or networking sessions to create a sense of community among your clients. Limited Edition Holiday Products or Services: Introduce limited edition holiday-themed products or services. This can create a sense of urgency and exclusivity, encouraging clients to make a purchase or take advantage of a special offer during the holiday season. Consider bundling products or services together in festive packages or offering customization options to make the holiday offerings even more appealing. Charitable Initiatives: Align your brand with a charitable cause during the holiday season. Communicate your commitment to giving back, and encourage clients to participate by making a donation or supporting a specific initiative. You can also tie your products or services to a charitable contribution—for example, donate a percentage of holiday sales to a chosen charity. This not only benefits a good cause but also adds a positive and meaningful dimension to your holiday marketing. Remember to adapt these ideas based on your specific industry, target audience, and brand personality to make them most effective for your business. You've got this and don't let your ThOUGHTS self-sabotage your holiday fun and profits!

The Journey of Belief, Season 2, Episode 50!  This episode is sponsored by IdentityMagazine.net, an online magazine empowering you to transform through self-acceptance, appreciation, and personal achievement—The A-Game Formula and approach.  Because of the Identity Magazine platform, Susan started her career in self-improvement and coaching and has empowered hundreds of thousands of women through the online platform, retreats, conferences, workshops, books, coaching, and this podcast. The Journey of Belief was built because Susan discovered her identity through self-acceptance, appreciation of her life, the good and the bad, and learning how to celebrate her daily successes. Remember this... Once you make a decision, every moment forward from that decision, you break through a level of belief. Let's look at the journey of belief in creating a profitable business: I'll share my personal roadmap… I had to believe I could launch a business, so I built my magazine in-between my 9-5 I had to believe I could make money as an entrepreneur, so I started practicing selling. Then I had to believe I could be a full-time entrepreneur, so I first went part-time, kept practicing selling, and started to bartend and sold booze and food all weekend long. Then I had to believe I could make money consistently, that was scary. I then had to believe I could write a book Then position the book and turn it into a touring workshop It was about 10 years ago I gave up all side hustles and went full-time entrepreneurship. Then I had to believe I could become a speaker. I had to believe that I would be okay after my 1st speaking gig and not die or feel like a fool Then I had to believe I had value to share Then I had to believe I could earn as a speaker Then I got paid for 9 years speaking and earning 6 figures but I still had to work on my belief that I was worthy of it Every inch forward takes an ounce of belief over and over and it never ends. When you want something to achieve, I'll tell you that you gotta be willing to believe over and over and let that compound—allow it to compound so you build a belief foundation. Because that is one of the secret sauces to success.

In the Money Breakthrough podcast episode "It's Time to Have the Money Conversation with Your Partner," Susan discusses the assumptions and beliefs that can prevent you from having important conversations with your partner about money.  Some of the key takeaways from the episode include: Assumptions about money can be a major barrier to communication. It's important to recognize and challenge these assumptions in order to have productive conversations with your partner. Many Mom Entrepreneurs avoid having tough conversations about money because they perceive them as difficult or uncomfortable. However, avoiding these conversations can actually make things worse in the long run. It's important to be proactive about having money conversations with your partner. This means setting aside dedicated time to talk about financial goals, concerns, and plans, and being willing to listen and compromise. Finally, the episode emphasizes that having open and honest conversations about money can actually bring your relationship closer together. It allows them to work together towards shared goals and build a stronger financial future. This episode offers practical tips and insights for entrepreneurs looking to improve their communication around money and create more profits within their businesses.  This episode is sponsored by: IdentityMagazine.net: A wellness community empowering women to transform through self-acceptance, appreciation, and personal achievement.
