Meet Kelsey Weaver, Author, Mental Health Advocate & beloved member of the Inner Circle.
While going through nursing school, Kelsey worked in a hospital before having her two children when she decided to quit nursing and stay home with her kids. Even though she didn’t have a plan, she had a “pull” to start her own business. She wanted to contribute to her family and do something she was passionate about.
She opened her clothing line called Free to Feel, a merchandise line with pro-mental health slogans! However, she recently closed this part of her business to turn her attention to her other passions; writing and helping others! Kelsey’s story is so inspirational and one that many can relate to!
In this episode, we discuss:
👉 Finding yourself again in motherhood.
👉 How Kelsey’s business helped her to create an identity outside of her family.

Self Employed Doesn’t Mean Doing it All Yourself
This week’s episode is talking about one of the most common mental blocks I see being in the entrepreneurial space. We often think that since we decided to make this decision and work for ourselves that we then have to take on everything that comes our way. And this is absolutely not the case. You rarely hear successful business owners state that they got where they are 100% on their own. In order to grow, we need to find the right support for our business.
In this episode we discuss:
👉 Separating the idea that self-employment from doing it all.
👉 Your hyper independence is blocking your success.
👉 Letting go of the fear of asking questions.
👉 Understanding the value of community.

Meet Jamie Maurer, Trusted Advisor, Business Strategist & Inner Circle Member
In today’s episode, I talk to another member of our Inner Circle Community, Jamie Bower. Jamie is an aspiring entrepreneur who is looking to take her 10+ years of experience in corporate America to the solo entrepreneur. She has a law degree, previously owned an insurance company and has been working in technology sales so she brings a wealth of knowledge to our community that we are beyond grateful for.
Jamie is the perfect example of not staying “stuck” because you don’t have it all figured out. She knew what she wanted to eventually work for herself so she stepped out of her comfortzone and has begun that process. Without a firm, 100% ready plan of action!
In this episode we discuss:
👉 Finding your community.
👉 Giving yourself permission to not have it all figured out.
👉 Allowing yourself to be raw and put yourself out there.

Consistency is NOT the Key to Success
On this week’s episode I talk about something a little controversial - consistency. Spoiler alert: it’s not the key to success. Despite what we’ve all been told about being consistent in our biz, trying to make consistency a priority will actually just burn you out. Join me as I talk about how to get away from the consistency gremlins and learn to work with the flow of your energy.
In this episode we discuss:
👉 What does consistency really mean?
👉 Prioritize putting out quality content over quantity.
👉 How consistency prevents you and your biz from growing.
👉 Learning to move with the flow of your energy.

What’s Your Definition of Success?
We all have those gremlins telling us that our biz isn’t good enough.. comparing ourselves and our businesses to others. No matter what we achieve, we never feel like it’s good enough. But success isn’t the same for everybody. Your version of success is going to be completely different than my version of success. So what is it for you?
Is it a power suit, high heels and a corner office? Or is it the freedom to set your own hours and the ability to do what you love? On this week’s episode learn how important it is to know what success really looks like for you.
In this episode we discuss:
👉 Success isn’t universal, everyone’s definition is different.
👉 Find out what success means to you
👉 How to avoid striving for other people’s goals or ideas of success
👉 Profit does not necessarily equal success!

Episode 14: How to Speak to Your Ideal Client with Kelcy Valletta
Today I speak with my cousin Kelcy Valletta, a self-love and sexy coach and host of the podcast, Find Your Sexy! Kelcy has been working in her business part-time now and is feeling impatient with her success. She wants this to be her full-time career but doesn’t know what steps to take to actually get there. She has so many BIG dreams for her business but is struggling to actually sell her offers. I ask Kelcy some thought-provoking questions to help her get crystal clear on her messaging so that she can call in and attract the right people!
Join us as we break down Kelcy’s roadmap to success and create smaller, more tangible steps, so she doesn’t get overwhelmed!

Episode 13: How to Honor your Energy with Ali from Finding Mr Height
Today I speak with Ali from Finding Mr. Height. Ali works in corporate retail by day and is a dating coach by night. Her journey started almost accidentally when she decided to share her dating life on social media and very quickly grew her account to 100k followers on TikTok and almost 20k on Instagram! With all of this energy, I figured Ali must be a manifesting generator and was SHOCKED to find out she is actually a projector!
Join us as we chat about how Ali sort of fell into her side business and discuss ways that she can continue to scale her business while still honoring her projector energy and avoiding burnout!
