Hi Mamas, This week's Monday Mindset episode dives into the real meaning of forgiveness… and why it's something we do for ourselves, not for the other person. Our inspiration comes from Maya Angelou's quote, “Forgiveness is not something we do for others. We do it for ourselves, to get well and move on.”

Let's talk about a moment you'll face in entrepreneurship the opportunity that pays, but doesn't align. You know the feeling, it's money you could use, but something just doesn't sit right.We'll explore why your resistance to a "good opportunity" is actually your higher standards speaking, how to discern between decisions that are risk-calculated versus fear-based, and the true cost of accepting things below your standard (spoiler: it's not just about the money). I'll also share how entrepreneurs are alchemists who can turn any experience into profit—and why that means we get to be selective about what we accept.Key Topics Covered:Why resistance to an opportunity might mean your standards have levelled upThe trade-off trap: what you're really saying no to when you accept below-standard workHow to know if an opportunity serves your vision or drains your energyThe difference between fear-based decisions and discernment-based decisionsThree framework questions to ask yourself before accepting ANY opportunity • Why saying no is actually a declaration of your valueThe entrepreneur's secret weapon: turning experiences into content and profitRisk tolerance and the freedom that comes with strategic patienceReal-world example: the workshop with a $100 budget vs. your $500 speaking feeTIMESTAMPS:0:00:00 - Intro: The Opportunity Dilemma0:01:00 - You're Being Tested as You Level Up0:02:00 - The Real Question: Why Does This Not Feel Right?0:03:00 - The Burnout Trap: Loving How Every Dollar is Made0:04:00 - The Past Self vs. Expert Self: Setting Standards0:05:00 - Risk Tolerance & the Power of Saying No0:09:00 - The Decision Framework: Three Questions to Ask Yourself0:11:00 - The Real Story: Why Discernment Matters More Than Desperation

Do you struggle with marketing? Marketing your interior design business requires visibility and connection with potential clients. For introverts who prefer smaller groups and more intimate interactions, traditional marketing advice can feel overwhelming and misaligned with their natural working style. The challenge becomes finding ways to share your work authentically while honoring your temperament and energy levels.   In this episode, I'm exploring how to create marketing strategies that align with your individual strengths and preferences as a business owner. Whether you identify as an introvert, extrovert, or somewhere in between, the key is understanding that effective marketing doesn't require you to be someone you're not. I share personal examples of how I structure my marketing activities to support my introverted nature while still achieving business growth.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.desicreswell.com/157   For the resources mentioned in this episode or to stay tuned for details about Create Your 2026 Roadmap, click here: https://www.desicreswell.com/resources   Sign up for my Monday Mindset email list to get bite-sized insights on topics that you can use to set your week up for success: https://www.desicreswell.com/monday-mindset   Follow along or send me a message on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/desicreswell/

That's what today's episode is all about.Caitlin opens up about her own season of “in-between,” where growth felt slow and uncertain — and how she learned to see that space not as wasted time, but as sacred ground for transformation.If you're in a chapter that feels unfinished — whether it's in your classroom, your career, or your personal life — this episode is your reminder that the in-between is proof you're growing.

When we think of courage, we often picture grand, dramatic moments — standing up to someone, taking a huge leap, or making a bold change. But in today's Monday Mindset episode, we're exploring a different kind of courage — the quiet, everyday kind that often goes unseen.Caitlin shares her own story of rebuilding confidence and identity after a long recovery, and how real courage sometimes looks like simply showing up — doing the small, hard things no one else notices.This episode is a powerful reminder that courage isn't always loud… sometimes, it's just choosing to keep going.

This simple prompt transforms how you think about your future, your business, and your possibilities. Instead of being limited by what seems realistic right now, you'll learn to think like a true visionary entrepreneur.You'll see how this playful visioning actually reveals what you truly want (beyond what you think you should want), and why disciplined visioning is what separates entrepreneurs who dream from entrepreneurs who actualise.KEY TOPICS COVERED:Why being realistic is the death of exceptional entrepreneurshipThe "How Cool Would It Be If" exercise and how to use itHow to shift from jealousy to hopeful possibility when you see what you wantThree categories for visionary thinking: personal, business, clients & networkWhy hope is your competitive advantage as an entrepreneurHow playful visioning reveals your true desires and ideal futureThe role of discipline in turning vision into realityWhy limitations and ceilings keep you playing smallHow to manage your energy and state as an entrepreneurWhy dramatic price increases and restructuring your offers matters0:00:00 - Intro: What Makes an Exceptional Entrepreneur0:00:26 - The "How Cool Would It Be If" Exercise Explained0:01:13 - Shifting from Jealousy to Hopeful Possibility0:02:00 - Why Hope is Your Most Valuable Asset0:02:25 - The Playful Visioning Exercise: How to Start0:03:17 - Your Instagram Saved Folder is Your Vision Board0:04:14 - Visioning in Three Categories: Personal, Business, Network0:05:32 - How Your Mood and Energy Shifts Through This Process0:06:36 - Get Absurd With It: Why Ridiculousness Reveals Gold0:07:00 - Live Idea Shopping Session0:12:26 - Discipline is Visionary: Turning Vision Into Reality

Big goals and bold changes often come with a surprising amount of resistance. Whether it's a shift you know needs to happen or a dream you keep putting off, the tug of war between wanting to move forward and feeling frozen can leave you exhausted. That resistance isn't a sign you're unprepared or unmotivated; it's fear doing its job of trying to keep you safe from uncertainty. In this episode, I'm sharing a coaching tool called a fear inventory that helps you get unstuck, build confidence, and take aligned action on the things you've been avoiding. I walk you through how I've used this process to make some of my biggest business decisions, including shifting the podcast schedule, closing my design practice, and investing in new levels of support, and how this same strategy can help you move through your own pivotal moments with more ease and clarity.

Hi Mamas, This week, we're diving deep into one of the most important skills every working mom can develop: self-awareness.

Then when you know better, do better.” Inside This Episode, We'll Talk About: ✔️ How to give yourself grace for past mistakes and moments of overwhelm ✔️ Turning self-awareness into intentional action (without needing to be perfect) ✔️ Letting go of judgment… toward others and yourself ✔️ Real-life examples of “doing better” as a mom, wife, and professional ✔️ A mindset shift that turns guilt into growth
