Creating Without Guilt: The Middle Ground Between Hustle & Balance
We've been conditioned to believe that work falls into one of two extremes: either you're grinding non-stop, pushing yourself to exhaustion, or you've mastered the elusive work-life balance. But what if that’s a false choice? As a creator, I’ve realized that some of my work doesn’t feel like work at all. It can be play, it can be art, and it can feel deeply satisfying.
False Narratives: Those That Can’t Do, Teach
Your knowledge is your currency! For years I feared that what I was doing wasn’t real business and I felt like I had to prove myself. I think we feel strange about this because it’s unfamiliar, not because it’s wrong. The world of traditional business is rapidly changing and you are building an online business at the beginning of the new digital frontier. Of course it’s hard to feel like an expert when everything is just beginning.
I Quit Cold Turkey
For years, I held myself back. I made excuses. I played small. But one day, I made a decision. I quit. Cold turkey. No warning, no second-guessing. And I’m not talking about a bad habit. I quit everything holding me back—100 things! Today, I’m going to tell you exactly what I walked away from. After you hear them, you might decide to quit a few too.
This is the first time I’ve done an episode like this– it’s much shorter than usual because I want you to simply listen, reflect, and then take action TODAY.
Grow Your Impact and Revenue by Adding Digital Products to Your Offer Lineup
During today’s episode, I’m digging into how you can use digital products to grow your impact and revenue. When I started on this road, I really didn’t understand what it could mean for my availability to work with more people and make a bigger difference in the lives of my clients.
Fan Favorite: Starting a Business with ZERO Audience
Today we’re sharing one of our fan favorite episodes in case you missed it! This is such a valuable topic– I’m sharing how I’d start a business TODAY if I had absolutely no existing audience. It’s about showing up and making yourself visible. We’re talking about growing a community of real relationships and emphasizing growing a community over chasing vanity numbers.

We all have mind junk and I want to help you work through it! In today’s episode, I’m going to share snippets of some of my favorite trainings on mindset. It is absolutely imperative to shift your mindset and this episode is a preview of what that looks like! I believe that mindset is only the first step. You’re only going to move forward if you take action and pursue the things you say you want. I want to dive into some of the specific things I’m going to be teaching so you can make use of some actionable tools to declutter your mind today!

I Went All In… Now I Can Retire at 45
Financial freedom might sound like a lofty goal, but I’m here to tell you that it’s way more achievable than you think! In this episode, I break down how I started with next to nothing and slowly built a life that not only allowed me to plan for retirement, but also helped me create a lifestyle I could actually enjoy along the way.
I want to give you hope for what’s possible and show you just how far you can come in such a short period. By making small, consistent changes, building a business that doesn’t rely on you being glued to your desk, and planning with intention, you CAN turn your dreams of financial freedom into reality!

Going Back to Work After Chaos: Returning to Business as Usual
If you are ever torn between life and business, you do not need permission to choose YOU! When you build your business with intention, it will work for you, even when life surprises you. It’s more than okay to prioritize yourself over your business with zero guilt. A few months ago, I got a call saying that my dad had a stroke. The following weeks unfolded so dramatically as his condition went from bad to worse. It became very clear that this wasn’t just a typical stroke. Eventually, we found out he has a very rare autoimmune disease that caused him to require around-the-clock care all of a sudden. I was simply not prepared for this. Keep in mind, during all of this, my business still had to keep running.
