Why The Best Things In Life Are Usually Not Easy

Why The Best Things In Life Are Usually Not Easy

Motherhood is a journey mentally, physically and emotionally. One thing I have found is that maintaining friendships, being a working mom of multiple business, being a mindful mom and serving others regulary is not always easy, but it brings true joy. On today's Happy in the Hustle Show I discuss 3 examples that were not easy but that brought so much joy I was able to prioritize them as core values in my life which has helped me to evolve into the mother, person, wife and philanthropist I want to be.

Why Do Some Moms Seem More Balanced And Peaceful?

Why Do Some Moms Seem More Balanced And Peaceful?

Do these moms know something I don't know?

Why yes...yes they did!

Coaching, Mental Well Being Support, A Village is the biggest differentiating factor I have seen in moms that are peaceful and seem to understand that juggling it all does not need to be solely on our shoulders. Motherhood is a BIG job combined with running businesses and homes and when we have a team to do life with...it truly becomes Happy In The Hustle.

Choose Collaboration Over Competition To Live Free

Choose Collaboration Over Competition To Live Free

There was a time when I first began business that I saw other mom leaders as competition. I always want to be honest.

But it was a lonely, tiring, fraught filled existence.

When I grew up, when I matured, when I realized how competition was cutting my enjoyment in life short I embraced collaboration.

The #1 shift to my mindset was recognizing I AM THE UNIQUE part of my business. Nobody will ever have my brain and therefore I don't need to worry. I began to open my world up to other women business leaders, other entrepreneurs to grow to expand and rise with AND LIFE GOT REALLY FUN!

Collaboration is a huge key to living Happy In The Hustle!

Why I Stopped Dimming My Energy To Appease Others

Why I Stopped Dimming My Energy To Appease Others

Ughhhh! Trying to be who other people want us to be is EXHAUSTING.

Take control of life and discover what brings you energy. What lights you up? What makes your soul absolutely smile?

Loving Yourself Unlocks Fulfillment In Life

Loving Yourself Unlocks Fulfillment In Life

Be love and watch love circulate in your life.

So many people struggle with a lack of self worth and tend to lash out at those around them because hurt people, hurt people.

If we can take a moment to really think about nurturing our minds and bodies to intentionally love ourselves more- it can unlock a beautiful way of life.

Ways I like to nurture myself: I take time to gratitude journey absolutely everyday with a good cup of coffee. I make sure to workout everyday to get my endorphins flowing and produce a positive body image. I work to be truly present with people as spending time with friends and family fills my souls with joy.


How do you like to nurture yourself?

2 Keys To Making Networking Fun

2 Keys To Making Networking Fun

Networking can be such a downtrodden word in the world of business. I have found after opening multiple businesses that transitioning the mindset from what's in it for me at this event to being curious and open to learning about other people can make it much easier to approach networking. Can it be awkward at the coffee bar wondering who to sit by that will be most beneficial or thinking about the litany of all the other things you could be doing instead of networking? Of course.


I recommend shifting to a mindset of possibility and envisioning who you want in your network.

It turns it into an exciting opportunity instead of a dreaded event. I also know the more confident I have become as a business owner, I no longer feel that poverty mentality of 'having' to get business at a networking event but instead looking at it as an opportunity to serve with community members.


You just never know that one person you could meet that could introduce you to exactly who you dreamed of meeting to uplevel the amount of positive impact you can make. Cheers to living Happy In The Hustle! Michelle

My Top Tools For Finding My Authentic Self After Having Kids

My Top Tools For Finding My Authentic Self After Having Kids

Becoming a mom after climbing the corporate ladder for 10 years was a shock for me.

How can taking a shower become my barometer of a successful day after a decade of working to break million dollar revenue goals?

What was this new body that seemed to not be recognizable to me?

My brain was living this exhausting duality of work and making sure the needs of a newborn were being met.

Everyone talked about a village, but my village was 3,000 miles away.

So I set off on a journey to rediscover who I am. On today's episode I discuss some of my top resources, podcasts and coaches such as Coach Marcy, Coach Jenn and Coach Valerie on ihelpmoms.com who help me to grow through what I go through.
