Becoming an Entrepreneur

I've never gone this in depth before, I've never made sure I had this detailed of a plan, and I feel like there is only one way I could fail. In this episode, I'm walking you through the simple process I used to create what I'm calling my "Audacious List", a list of bold moves broken down into a 90-day plan designed to help me build real momentum in the areas I've wanted to grow and change in for...

Ever feel like you're building the plane while you're flying it? Same. In today's episode, I'm sharing what I'm learning in real time about following the plan and why planning ahead is the only way I've found to feel grounded, productive, and way less reactive. I'm giving you a little NYC life update (SoHo errands still blow my mind), a behind-the-scenes peek into interviewing candidates for a lea...

If you've ever had a big dream on your heart and wondered, "Okay… but how do I actually make this happen?" this episode is my real-life reminder that clarity + execution changes everything. I'm sharing what it's been like living in NYC after dreaming about it for a decade, and the simple framework that took me from wishing to doing: get organized, make a plan, and follow it even when your feelings...

We finally did it! On Tuesday, my daughter Naveya and I moved to NYC, and my boys will officially arrive with the rest of our stuff today. This has been a dream a decade in the making and last night after soaking in the first 24 hours of this being home base I had to record some thoughts into my phone before I went to bed. I intentionally left this episode unedited. I wanted this to feel like a vo...

One of my new team members recently quit. Instead of seeing it as a setback, I'm sharing why I chose to thank the problem and what I'm learning from it. We just got back from filming Chris and Lori Harder's Elite Entrepreneur Mastermind and one of the exercises Lori walked through taught how setting big goals actually attracts the exact challenges you need to become the entrepreneur you're meant t...

Hey friend! In this episode, I'm getting real about self-love and what it actually looks like in practice. I'm sharing how a simple haircut sparked some major reflections about how I treat myself, why discipline is the highest form of self-care, and how the little choices we make every day either set us up for success or hold us back. If you've ever struggled with keeping promises to yourself or w...

I'm realizing if I want to do big things, I'm going to need to BE SEEN on a bigger level first. Even if that means the person seeing all of you FULLY, clearly, and deeply–is YOU! And that comes with a lot of fears. In this episode, I'm sharing what I discovered during a breathwork session that helped me understand not only that I had a deep rooted fear of being seen, but the underlying reasons WHY...

If I want more, I need to expand my capacity to hold more. This is something that's been top of mind for me lately as I've been writing down and putting my goals for this year in front of me everywhere I can. I have some big goals this year, including some changes I've wanted to make for years that I'd start working towards and fizzle out. If we're going to create that bigger life we dream of, the...

I'm calling my shot on two BIG goals I've wanted to make happen for YEARS. I don't want to be cheesy and say "this is my year" but at the same time, when I accomplish these 2 goals this year I know when Danny and I are toasting some champagne on New Years Eve I'm going to be so damn proud of myself. Tune in to hear what they are (hint: they have to do with feeling HOT and having a change of scener...

Proof that we'll be successful is closer than we think. I was listening to a podcast recently that reminded me - once we've created success in one area, we can duplicate it in other areas again and again. In this episode, I'm sharing lessons I've learned from being a mom that I can apply to creating success in business.    HIGHLIGHTS The power of making a decision and backing it up with consistent...

What would happen if you FULLY COMMITTED to your goals this year? The past few years I've had a few goals that I haven't accomplished that end up rolling into the next year. Our family went to church for the first time in years and there are a few things I'm taking away with me this into the new year as I get clear on my goals, fully commit to taking different actions than I have in the past, and...

As we set financial goals for the new year, I wanted to be a reminder that abundance is all around us. Money is flowing everywhere, all the time, and it's up to us to align our offers, serve our clients, and continue showing up to raise our revenue and income. I hope this episode is a quick burst of inspiration to kick off the new year and remember—the success you're working towards is inevitable...

If we don't stop to let the gifts and accomplishments sink in, did we ever really have them? This time of year it can be especially easy to think of what we don't have, or focus on what's next, setting our new years goals. I wanted to take a second with you to let the things you used to dream and pray for sink in with one of my favorite gratitude exercises. Whether you're celebrating big wins or n...

The tips in this episode apply to ANYTHING you're launching. Before we dive into episode 4, I just want to point out how excited I am to hit this milestone. It may not seem like much, but 90% of podcasts don't make it past episode 3. So we're already crushing it! I just got off a call with two new clients that are launching a podcast and it made me want to share a few tips for when you're preparin...

The fastest and funnest way to accomplish a goal is to surround yourself with people who are also running towards that goal with you. To say I'm grateful for all the support and excitement you've shared with me for the launch of this podcast feels like the craziest understatement. As I set out to create this podcast I felt so confident, obviously because I've done this a ton for others - but also...

Crazy how many of our biggest lessons in life come wrapped in the form of a challenge. If you haven't heard my "story" here is a sneak peek of two major gifts that came from hitting rock bottom in 2016—losing everything, and navigating my husband's mental health struggles, leading me to discover the power of personal development. The hard truth and visualization exercise I learned not only got me...

For most of my life I had this negative connotation of being a "dreamer". As if being a dreamer somehow meant I wasn't (or could never be) a doer. Like most things in life, it's not all or nothing, it's "yes, and…" Yes, be the dreamer, and take action. In this very first episode, I'm sharing how I'm using my superpower of being a dreamer (aka Visionary) as a leader. I also tell the story of the ti...
