I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest dualities I know: being a badass in business and a devoted mama. Yep, we're talking about motherhood—the magic, the mess, and how it shakes up every damn thing, from your daily routine to your biggest business goals. I'm sharing the raw, real deal of what it's like to hold yourself to sky-high standards while also keeping tiny humans alive. Spoiler alert: it's not all curated Instagram stories and cute planners. We're getting into the gritty truth of what it really means to juggle entrepreneurship and motherhood. I'm dishing on how I've handled (and sometimes flopped through) external judgments, and how I've learned to stop looking for a gold star from the world and start validating myself. If you've ever felt like no one sees the hustle behind your highlight reel—this one's for you. Oh, and we're not stopping there. I'm calling out the self-imposed limitations we all put on ourselves. You know the ones—those little voices whispering “not enough.” It's time to shut them down and step into our full power. So if you're ready to stop waiting for permission and start owning your greatness as a mom, a leader, and a woman who's here to dominate—hit play now. Let's find your greatness… together.

I have a special in-house interview today with 2 men currently on a mission across Canada sharing the truth about a story of a family and their plight to help those suffering with mental illness and about the nightmare this family had to endure for years.Todd Michael Harris and David Stephan are on tour promoting the film 'Epiphany' and David's harrowing journey. The interview delves deeply into David's family's struggles with mental health, their pioneering work in nutritional supplements, and an intense legal battle with the Canadian health system.They discuss the transformative power of their line supplements, aptly named True Hope, the dynamics behind David's wrongful conviction, the death of his son Ezekiel, and how media and health authorities continue to misrepresent their story despite clear proof otherwise.This is a story of resilience and highlights the corruption among organizations we look to for justice, truth and support. Instead of finding any of these things, the Stephans were met with corruption at every step that started over 20 years ago.Please go to Matadorfilms.ca to see if this film and discussion is coming to your city in the next few weeks.

Remember, you and your husband are a team of partners in the journey of life. Challenges will come, but don't face them as opponents. Approach each difficulty as something to conquer together, not as something to fight about. As a submissive wife, you honor your husband's leadership even in hard times, trusting his strength, his wisdom, and his heart. That doesn't mean you're voiceless—it means you choose to support, not to compete. It's not about who's right, but about staying united. Walk in step, speak with grace, and cling to your bond. Together, you're stronger.

In this episode, Cindy Esliger explores the skill known as pivoting. Our careers don't often unfold exactly as planned. More often than not, a major curveball out of left field flies in to disrupt our plans. It could be a new boss, an imploding project, or shifts in the industry, but whatever it is, we are left reeling and unsure of what to do next. Instead of panicking or withdrawing, pivoting is a skill that encourages us to pause and assess before making a deliberate move forward. Cindy looks at how to pivot and when, and guides us through learning to be adaptable. Security and certainty in today's workplaces are not guaranteed. We don't want to admit it, but things shift all the time. Rules change, priorities reshuffle, and our world can be turned upside down. Spiraling into panic is an easy temptation. Panic feels productive in the moment. But panic leads to catastrophizing and impulsive moves. Cindy outlines the proactive approach towards flipping the script that pivoting offers. She explains how to acknowledge the chaos, assess the situation, and figure out a strategic next move.Cindy shares a four-step process on what to do when an unexpected left turn happens. 1) Stop before doing anything, 2) Assess and find out what's really happening, 3) Strategize, and 4) Act. Pivoting isn't about perfection but about progress. It's easier with practice. Cindy advises building a resilience toolkit, embracing flexibility, celebrating progress, and maintaining perspective. This episode is all about learning to face the challenge of upheaval head-on without panicking. It's a valuable guide on taking rational next steps forward.Resources discussed in this episode:Guide to Creating Your Pivot PlanAstronomic AudioConfidence Collective—Contact Cindy Esliger Career Confidence Coaching: website | instagram | facebook | linkedin | email
