Okay - I'll admit it. My bookkeeper used to send me a Profit and Loss (P&L) statement for my practice every time we met - and I barely looked at it.Not proud of that.But I blew it off because I didn't really understand HOW to use it, what the various segments meant, or how to pull information from those long columns of numbers that I could actually use.Well - not any more. Today, I go over those suckers with a highlighter and a pen, and I keep the latest one on my desk so I can refer back to it when I make decisions.That's what a P&L can do for you. And today, we are going to teach you how to do the same thing. :)In this episode, I'm joined by Randall Avery — a former corporate finance professional who now helps mental health professionals and other practice owners understand their numbers. With his help, we broke this stuff down in a way that actually makes sense.No jargon. No shame. No such thing as a dumb question.Just clarity - and I think you'll love that.In this episode, you'll learn:What a P&L actually is (and what it isn't.)How to break down revenue sources in your practice.

What if the moment you finally said “enough” became the spark that built your legacy? We sit down with DeShandra (Monet) Cullins—a survivor, mother of five, entrepreneur, and author of You Good, Sis?—who turned lifelong trauma into a blueprint for healing, purpose, and generational change. From escaping intimate partner violence to walking into a shelter with her daughters, she shares the precise steps that moved her from survival mode to building a beauty brand that began in a women's shelter and grew into a platform for women's empowerment.Dishandra opens up about complex PTSD and why it's often misread as “just depression.” She breaks down how chronic trauma reshapes a nervous system, how EMDR helped her separate triggers from identity, and how simple daily structure—miracle mornings, hydration, journaling—became anchors that outlast motivation. We also spotlight the insidious tactics of financial abuse and the practical pivots that counter them: turning tax refunds into startup capital, learning credit repair and business credit, and using honest landlord letters to rebuild housing stability.At the heart of the episode is ROOTS, her five-part framework—Reveal, Own, Open, Turn, Sustain—that integrates inner work with business strategy. You'll hear how bold lipstick shades named for power and courage helped her reclaim her voice, why “Monet” was armor and “DeShandra” is integration, and how the You Good, Sis? book and journal teach check-ins that prevent burnout before it breaks us. If you care about survivor advocacy, faith-informed healing, entrepreneurship, or building legacy from hard beginnings, this story will change how you think about resilience.Learn more about DeShandra and her work at www.deshandracullins.com or www.discoveringdeshandrasolutions.com and on Instagram at @discovering.deshandra

After studying economics at Harvard and starting her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, she discovered urban development through the Urban Investment Group under Alicia Glen. Mentorship from leaders like Glen and MIT professor Phil Thompson helped her shift from traditional finance to mission driven economic development. A detour into the food industry after Yale School of Management eventually led her back to this work, culminating in her leadership at the Navy Yard in 2022.Lindsay explains how the Brooklyn Navy Yard goes beyond affordable real estate to support small, women owned, and minority owned businesses with mentorship, capital access, and technical advisory services. She highlights the Brooklyn STEAM Center, a public high school that gives 600 students hands on training with industry grade equipment, as well as new adult reskilling programs that recognize the value of both digital and analog problem solving. Through initiatives like the Micro Business Accelerator Program, she is building pathways for entrepreneurs to start small, grow, and scale within a supportive ecosystem.This conversation explores leadership, economic mobility, and the importance of early exposure to career possibilities. Lindsay's work demonstrates that revitalizing industrial spaces can do more than preserve history. It can create futures.

Marketing doesn't usually fail because you're not good at what you do. Not at all!No - often it fails because you're being too careful.In this episode, I'll walk you through 3 marketing patterns I've seen repeatedly in recent coaching calls — patterns that dilute your message, confuse potential clients, and make growth harder than it has to be.The fixes are simpler than you might think. In this episode, you'll hear:Why “leaving the door open” can actually keep your best people from walking in.The difference between simply describing your skills and speaking directly to your ideal client.How clarity — not volume — creates TRUE momentum in your marketing…Why people wait far too long to ask for help (and what shifts when they don't!)You'll also learn why your marketing often improves faster when you stop trying to do it alone. You can speak more clearly, attract the clients you actually want, and stop second-guessing your message.If this episode stirred something — a sense that your work is solid, but your message isn't quite landing — that's usually the moment to pause and get support.A Quick Start Consult isn't about fixing everything.It's about naming what matters most next — and getting clear faster than you can on your own.You don't need more ideas.You need sharper focus...Learn more or book yours at:

I'm saying the quiet part out loud: if you don't build your sales muscle, growth stalls - no matter how talented you are. In this episode, Julia Arpag, CEO and Founder of Aligned Recruitment, shares with me how she went from five weeks postpartum and laid off to building a seven-figure tech recruitment firm by treating selling as service, investing early in mentorship, and using LinkedIn + networking like a real funnel.Julia's journey began in August 2023 when she was unexpectedly laid off while on maternity leave. What could have been a destabilizing moment became the catalyst for something extraordinary. While briefly accepting a W-2 role, she started selling for a friend's startup recruitment venture on the side. Within months, she closed three retainer clients. That early traction forced a pivotal decision: continue playing it safe, or step fully into entrepreneurship despite fears around sales, taxes, and “not knowing enough.” She chose the leap. Rather than trying to figure everything out alone, Julia invested her earliest earnings into mentorship by hiring an executive coach who had sold a recruitment agency for $28 million, a LinkedIn writing coach, and systems experts. Inspired by Carol Dweck's Mindset and the philosophy of “Who Not How,” she built her sales muscle, reframed selling as service, and adopted a growth mindset that became foundational to Aligned Recruitment's rapid success. She reminds us that for women entrepreneurs especially, seeking support is often the difference between staying small and scaling meaningfully. We also explored Julia's tactical wisdom as a recruiter, including why job seekers should treat their search like a sales funnel, how to optimize LinkedIn to be discovered, and why networking consistently outperforms cold online applications. At a deeper level, Julia challenges the idea that business success must come at the cost of personal well-being. Her philosophy is clear: build a business around your life, not the other way around. This conversation is a powerful reminder for all of us that profitability, purpose, and peace can coexist. Tune in to hear my conversation with Julia Arpag and how she is redefining what it looks like for women to lead, sell, and scale without losing themselves in the process. Chapters: 01:12

I Wanted A Fancy Studio, Got A Living Room, And Accidentally Built A CommunityWhat happens when the person who built the room for everyone else's story finally sits in the guest chair? Jessica LeGare - former podcast guest and guest host - opens up the door to Kelly's living-room studio and traces the path from a drying mortgage pipeline and a growing family to a mission-driven show that helps mothers and entrepreneurs reclaim their color, voice, and courage.We explore the real start line: fear of hosting solo after co-hosted shows, the practical constraints that killed the fancy studio dream, and the surprising benefits of welcoming guests into a warm home where walls come down and stories breathe. Kelly unpacks the flamingo-pink metaphor—how motherhood and business can drain your hue—and how daily choices, faith, and community bring it back. Along the way, she reveals the unromantic backbone of podcasting: systems, editing decisions, consistent cadence, and simple gear that actually works. The takeaway is equal parts strategic and soulful: build SOPs, protect long-form depth, and choose formats you can sustain.Themes that show up across 80+ interviews get a spotlight: pivots and leap-of-faith decisions, the tension between perfectionism and progress, and the quiet grief of outgrowing old circles while forming a truer tribe. We talk about boundaries, sponsorships that match the mission, and a bolder vision that still feels personal. Kelly shares her “bookend” self-care—morning prayer, short reflections, nervous-system resets—that keep the creative well full when schedules and toddlers collide. If you've been searching for a grounded guide to podcasting, identity, and women's entrepreneurship, this conversation feels like a hand on your shoulder and a nudge forward.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a powerhouse mama who needs a lift, and leave a quick review to help more women find their color again.

Paige Arnof-Fenn shares how to stop competing on price by sharpening brand positioning, owning a niche, and turning reputation + referrals into consistent demand.In this episode, Paige Arnof-Fenn shares her journey from investment banking to branding powerhouse and discovering her true calling in marketing, building a distributed firm long before remote work was mainstream, and detailing how to turn expertise into profitable, high-impact businesses. Paige is the founder and CEO of Mavens & Moguls, a global branding and digital marketing firm that has worked with clients like Microsoft, Virgin, The New York Times Company, and Colgate. Her path to entrepreneurship didn't begin with a clear plan, but with a series of courageous pivots that led her from Wall Street to marketing leadership at P&G and Coca-Cola, and eventually to building her own agency. Along the way, she learned that success is less about following a script and more about honoring the parts of work that energize you.The turning points in Paige's story are rooted in self-awareness and bold action. After realizing investment banking didn't align with her values or passion, she shifted into marketing, first through business school, then by shaping brand strategy at major corporations and startups. She watched the internet industry emerge in the late '90s and embraced it, later using the post-9/11 job market as a catalyst to launch her own business. What could have been a moment of fear became the start of a 24-year journey building a thriving firm with a distributed team across multiple cities and countries.Paige's most powerful insights center on clarity, niche, and validation. She encourages women entrepreneurs to treat themselves as a brand, not a commodity, and to build businesses based on real market research, not friendly feedback. She champions differentiation through specificity, sharing how dominating one niche beats trying to please everyone, and explains how profitability is the foundation for meaningful impact.Paige's story is a celebration of women's leadership, resilience, and the power of building businesses that create real change. If you're ready to rethink what entrepreneurship can look like, and how to build it with intention and confidence, this conversation is for you. Tune in and be inspired.Chapters00:56
