When you started your business, was your goal to become a volunteer in your business because you made just enough money to run the business? Or was your goal to create an income stream that could replace your job, help your family, or maybe give you spending money? I know that I started my business so that I could have an income, and I think you did too. As women in business, it can be really hard to admit that we want to make money. There’s often a mindset issue around money that will keep us from making the money we desire. We may feel shameful or selfish for wanting to make money or maybe ..read more

When you start a business, it means you know exactly what to say in order to get people interested in what you do and ready to work with you, right? “If you build it, they will come.” Whereas that might be true for some people, I don’t think that true for most of us. We usually start a business so that we can share our genius, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that we know how to communicate it. This is where branding and messaging come in. My guest today has had several businesses with a variety of success until she landed in the marketing field and realized that the words she was using cou ..read more

As busy moms, we know we need to take care of our health, move our bodies, eat foods that fuel us, and have positive self-talk. But just because we know it, that doesn’t mean it’s easy to follow through and actually do these things. Life happens. Work happens. Kid and family stuff happens and distracts us from doing any of those things we know we should do. My guest today is a habit and fitness coach who used to think that exercising was just a part of diet culture. Once she started to exercise, she recognized that the physical changes are a side benefit - the main benefit for her is the min ..read more

These days, it seems like everyone is using AI, but they’re not always using it correctly. Hint: if you can tell that something was created with AI, then it’s a problem. So many of my clients tell me that they love helping people, but creating content for social media is a challenge. Whether they need to create an Instagram post or reel or a TikTok, they don’t have the ideas, so they feel like they just can’t do it. They’d love to use AI, but they don’t know how. My guest today is super tech-savvy. She knows how to use AI effectively and is here to share exactly how to make it work for you a ..read more

Are you ready to take action in your business? You might be taking all the courses and reading all the books, but are you actually taking action? As women, moms, and business owners, it can be hard to take action because we naturally fear the results. Someone could say no or reject us. Things might not go the way we want it to or we could fail outright. Instead of taking action, we’ll often take the courses, read the books, and listen to the podcasts so it feels like we’re doing something for our business (because we are!), but it’s the busy work. It’s not action. My guest today is all abou ..read more

You become a mom, and suddenly your time is not your own. Every second of every day revolves around these tiny humans that you’re raising. But what about you? Do you regularly make space for yourself, for your creativity and self-expression? Sometimes it can feel like we’ve forgotten ourselves in motherhood. This can be especially difficult if we decide to start a business since we need our creative energy to help us take our business to the next level. My guest today recognizes the importance of finding space to pour back into yourself, your creative pursuits and hobbies. It doesn’t take m ..read more

If you wanted to do something in your business and you didn’t know how, would you just try to figure it out on your own? Or would it be easier to make connections, ask questions, and figure it out with help from other women? From my experience, it’s easier to ask other women. But sometimes it feels like you need luck to continue those relationships and form a community. My guest today knows that a community isn’t based on luck. It’s based on authentic connections from genuinely caring about each other. In this episode, I talk to Inbal Claudio about how friendship comes before business, why ..read more

Are you a perfectionist? Maybe you set goals, break them down, and keep changing and revising them to try to find the perfect actions to take to reach them, but you never take action in the meantime. Or maybe you want to share a blog or a social media post, but you can’t figure out the perfect way to say what you want, so you just freeze in inaction. That’s exactly how I was when I started my business, so I can totally relate. Perfectionism can lead to so much procrastination, it’s not even funny. My guest today grew up as a perfectionist too. But as a parent and entrepreneur, she taught he ..read more
