BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business

Having a positive outlook on life is valuable when it comes to your mental and emotional well-being. The problem? Life isn't always positive. There are difficult times. There are legitimate problems that can't be overlooked or brushed off with a positive thought. There are times when we are going to want to feel upset, disheartened and angry by the circumstances of life. In a world that chants the...

You were created with the ability to steward your thoughts - to choose them, on purpose. In this episode, we're talking about discerning between high-quality and low-quality thoughts, which is part of the Clean Thinking™ Method I teach my clients.  O...

Is there a disconnect between your faith, your personal life and the business you're building as a mom? Maybe you're uncertain about how much to share. Maybe you're wondering how to incorporate your faith into a business that isn't faith-based. Maybe you question the line between your faith, your work and money. In this episode I'm sharing 7 ways to integrate your faith into your business no matte...

Want to work less than you currently do as a business-building mom? Overworking is so easy to do when working from home with little division between work life and family life. The transition to working less is a bit more complicated than just deciding we'll work less hours. Before we're ready to confidently step into days that look like working less and enjoying more margin, we need to be intentio...

What change are you being called to make in your life or business that you're actively resisting or avoiding? If we're honest, we have a "hard thing" standing between where we are right now and where we want to be. We're so afraid of doing the uncomfortable, hard thing that we settle - we settle for the comfort of where we are. This is true even if we know that where we are isn't great, isn't heal...

Over the last several years of working with dozens of moms building businesses on a very in-depth and personal level, I've seen two patterns emerge - two areas that are consistently connected to a life of busy, hurry and burnout vs. a life of peace, presence, EASE and sustainability. In this episode, I'm breaking down these two foundational pieces for you and sharing why they matter so much. Each...

As moms, our ability to steward our time well is a game-changer in life and business. How you think about your time becomes how you build your business. And how you think about your time becomes how you feel about your life. Your relationship with time matters. It's the difference between a life of hustle and hurry, busy and burnout - and peace, presence and sustainability. Moms building businesse...

Are you trying to figure out this work-life balance thing everyone seems to talk about as a working mom? It seems to be a worthy pursuit to reach for in life. Who doesn't want to feel a sense of balance as a mom managing marriage, parenting, business and more, right? On the surface, striving to create work-life balance appears valuable and well-intended. Yet often, it's a trap. So many moms who ar...

Moms are leaving the workforce, shutting down their businesses and pivoting professionally more than ever before. The cause? Burnout. Working moms experienced the stress and exhaustion burnout entails prior to the pandemic, but over the last two years, the number of women navigating motherhood in addition to work beyond parenting who are physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted has reached e...

Proverbs 4:23 NCV says "Be careful what you think because your thoughts run your life." At an intellectual level, we understand the importance of our thinking and the power of our mindset, but at a personal, soul level, we're not so sure. In the middle of the everyday, how does this work? How do your thoughts run your life? And what can you do about it? In this episode we're breaking down two key...

Busy. Hurried. Rushed. Burned out. These are the words so many business-building moms use to describe their lives. Can you relate? You're putting out fires, checking things off your to-do list and then adding five more. You feel perpetually behind and chronically exhausted. Is this just the way life is as a mom called to work beyond motherhood? It's so common, it kind of seems like it. Lives of bu...

As we step into the new year, some of us will be all in on goals and intentions while others will still be recovering from the last year and trying to figure out what matters most. Wherever you land on that spectrum, there are 3 questions you can ask at the start of your year that will help you take stock of what's working well, what isn't, and where you want to go from here. These questions can h...

Would you love to gain some control over the chaos that is your life? As a mom building a business or growing a career while raising kids, there are a lot of moving parts to your days. Are you stuck in survival mode, just trying to get through? Do you wish you felt more organized and less like you're just reacting to what your crazy life throws at you? In this episode, I'm sharing five of my favor...

Do you ever stop something before you even get started? So much of the meaningful change we want to create in our lives never even makes it out of the gate. Why? Change is hard. Getting started is hard. Often, our dreams and ideas for what could be stay in our minds because dreaming about them is so much easier than doing anything about them. Today, we're talking about why - from a neuroscience pe...

It can be so fun to think about what we want to create in a new year - a blank slate to consider what's possible, to think about where we could be, the life we could be living one year from now. But we don't have to wait for goals to be accomplished and future dreams to be realized to start living our dream life. So much of what we want to feel and experience in our day-to-day lives is available t...

So many working moms are trying to do it all. Maybe you can relate. You're constantly hurried - trying to take care of one thing so that you can check it off your list and get to the next. Your days feel like a blur - your mind is constantly thinking about 10 different things you need to do and you're just treading water, trying to stay afloat. You have your work and your family, a full calendar o...

If you feel like something is off -- like the days you're living don't fully align with either who you are or the season of life you find yourself in -- you want to listen to this episode. One reason our days and our lives can feel so out of alignment is that over time, we've grown and changed, but our thoughts and beliefs haven't. Simply put - we're so busy and hurried and living IN our lives - t...

The way I see it, we have two options available when it comes to the year ahead: evolve or repeat. We can choose to intentionally grow, evolve and create change, or we can stay where we are. There isn't a right or wrong choice here - but it is good to know we have options. If you are leaning toward the first option, if you want to create a different kind of year, I want to invite you to Design You...

Are you a goal-getter? Setting and working toward goals is a key component in creating intentional growth for ourselves both personally and professionally. Sometimes we set goals, go all in and cross the finish line with ease. Other times we lose steam, get off track, delay or procrastinate and never reach that end goal. Why? What leads us to hit some goals and give up on others? What are the secr...

One thing that consistently holds us back from feeling better as ambitious moms called to meaningful work outside motherhood is that we're really good actresses. We carry a belief that we need to pretend that we're okay - that's everything is fine - even when it's not. So many of us resist the reality of how we are feeling in our everyday lives because we don't want to complain. We feel grateful f...

It's a skill set that influences your personal life, your business or career and every other role you're called to serve in: decision-making. The truth is that decisions can be hard. The difference between navigating them from a place of doubt, fear and insecurity and a place of confidence, trust and peace is immeasurable. The level of confidence you feel in your ability to make decisions impacts...

Are you looking for purpose in your life, trying to do what makes you happy, or maybe trying to figure out this work-life balance thing everyone seems to talk about as a working mom? They seem to be good ideals to reach for in life. Who doesn't want purpose, happiness and a sense of balance, right? On the surface, each of these appears valuable. Yet often, they are traps. So many moms who are sear...

There are a lot of things vying for our time and attention at any given moment. It can be hard to say no. But just because we can say yes to something, doesn't mean we should. Giving yourself permission to say no is sometimes the most freeing, most life-giving thing you can do for you and your family. Saying no is CRUCIAL to creating space for the things that matter most, for being able to feel mo...

As a mom called to meaningful work beyond motherhood, it can feel like your attention is being pulled in ten different directions at any given moment. It might seem like your life is dictated by the needs, expectations and distractions from the outside world. Even if it feels contrary to the reality most of us find ourselves in, your peace is your responsibility. It's a choice. It's something you...
