If you haven't, I want to get you up to speed and share a really powerful life lesson from going through what I have the past week or so.

When I am asked how to make more money especially as a woman, today's episode is my go-to response. First, it's incredibly important to have a financial goal. Wanting to just make more money with no idea how much or where it's going is a recipe for disaster. Next, how many hours are you working a week? Truly working a week? If you are unaware of this true number, I have a free resource in the show...

On a normal walk one day, I came across a couple kids selling lemonade (you can vividly picture this in prime summer time) and I unfortunately didn't have any cash or my wallet on me.

I want to share how you can decrease friction, effort, and sacrifice for your potential customers so they can buy quicke...

As much as it pains me to say the phrase "female business owner", this topic needs addressed. As I've mentored other female business owners and see who crushes it and one's that get stuck, there's a through line I've seen and that is the role of the spouse. Whether they are apart of your business, going to be, or have their own opinions about your business, this might be the biggest decision you a...

"You can get your point across without cursing!" Ummm… no I fucking can't. Because this is how I talk. And how I talk is not up to you and your opinion.

Express yourself the way you want to.  Those who have a problem with swearing and message others about it… really need bigge...

If you've listened to previous episodes on credit cards, you know I'm a big fan of them if we use them in the right way. That means paying them off every month and getting free money via points.

There are so many ways to get what you want in this life and one or more might be right in front of you. For me, it was Instagram.

This episode is a reminder that all of us have opportunity and we just nee...

I just got back from my first vacation in forever and ya'll… I'm a changed woman. If you've followed me for any length of time you know how much my work means to me and it's been that way since I started work. This was the first time where I took 7 days completely off in a row, trusted my team, and everything went great. I honestly forgot what it was like to be human. Depending on what stage you a...

What is needed to not be a part of this statistic? Personal development. This is what most people avoid and what ulti...

Investing in the stock market can feel incredibly intimating and it was for me too for a long time. Even if you are contributing to a retirement account, it's still wise to put your money in a place where historically it's always grown over time and today's episode will help you simplify the process! I joined Stock Market School run by Tori Dunlap (no affiliation or promo code I just really enjoye...

If you didn't see a recent Washington Post article Instagram post titled, "Women are getting off birth control as misinformation explodes"… let me catch you up.  A political post masquerading as a "health" post pinning us against each other (election year of course they are) states that "young women are blaming their weight gain and depression on the pill and right-wing commentators claiming that...
