What are You So Afraid Of, Really?

Fear gets a lot of airtime, energy, and oxygen in the personal development space and most of it is needless and enabling. Sometimes, we just need a reframe. Consider this your reframe.

When They Ask for Money

The dirty side of success can sometimes be that your inner circle sees you as their personal bank. Setting boundaries on how you are willing to help and how much you are willing to help can feel messy. Communicating your limits can feel even messier. Here's how to manage it with more ease.

How to Finally Sit Still

How to Finally Sit Still

First world problem, right? An inability to sit still? Perhaps. But it is a problem and an inability to sit with yourself without doing anything or an inability to relax is a problem. It's a prescription for burnout, really. If you keep going and going, you will eventually run out of drive and motivation. Your physical and mental health will start to suffer and your relationships will feel the strain, too.  Listen in to learn a new perspective.

How to Make the Big Decisions

How to Make the Big Decisions

Putting this show on hiatus through the summer was a really big decision. While it wasn't one that I took lightly, it also wasn't one that I planned completely through before acting on. As business owners, we are called to this very thing often: making big decisions we hadn't necessarily anticipated. How do we do that with confidence? How do we trust our guts? When should we check with the peanut gallery, when do we need more research or more time, and when do we need to simply stop and act?

Today, I am using my decision with this show as an opportunity to walk you though the decision-making process so you, too, can make the decisions that are right for you and for the future of your business.

How to Prevent Failure

How to Prevent Failure

When you see something in your business heading off course or in the wrong direction, how do you stop it? This is not the time to "let go of the outcome". It is time to control the outcome. Failure does not have to be inevitable if you're willing to make the BOSS decision.

Gut Instinct or Just Fear Talking

Gut Instinct or Just Fear Talking

How can you tell if you're reacting to something out of fear and you just need to work through it or if it's your gut telling you that it's a really bad idea? Self-awareness is everything but when we feel up against it, we can lose sight of our judgment and of what feels right/best for us. Here's how to navigate this sticky terrain.

How to Stop Numbing Out

How to Stop Numbing Out

We all phone it in from time to time and run on autopilot but businesses cannot last if we stay in that same place, doing the same thing. Once we have been checked out, though, it can be hard to check back in. This is is how.

It's Time to Get Lost

It's Time to Get Lost

Needing to have all the answers you start is one of the biggest mindset blocks. We all want to know where we're going but sometimes, to get to where we want to go, we have to be willing to get lost. Here's how a tift with my husband turned into a really important business lesson.

Mindset for Self-Promotion

People can't buy from you if they don't know you exist and you can't just keep telling people who you are. You also have to show them.  I had a hard time with that. Here's what I learned and how I got over a THREE YEAR mindset block.

When You Outgrow Your Network

When you start out on the same playing field as everyone else but then find success faster than they do, you are suddenly playing a whole different game.

It's one heck of an awkward conversation. Here's how to have it.

When You Share Too Much

When You Share Too Much

"Authenticity" is the the new "hustle" but it's also unchartered territory for many entrepreneurs. When you share something, you end up managing your consumer's reactions to your story. If your emotions haven't been unpacked yet, that can be a lot on top of an already heavy load. Here's how to clean up from the fallout after you have shared more than you were ready to publicly deal with.
