Do It My Way Podcast

We're officially halfway through the year. Back in January, you probably had big goals, ambitious plans, and a vision for what this year would look like. So now comes the important question: How's it going? In this week's episode of  Do It My Way , we're doing a Mid-Year Check-In. Not to judge ourselves for what didn't happen, but to take an honest look at what's working, what's not, and what need...

She reflects on the unexpected path that led from a TEDx talk to...

Some of the biggest clients I've ever landed didn't come from an ad, a website, or a sales pitch. They came from relationships. A friend from college. A former client. Someone I met years ago who remembered my name when the timing was right. In a city like Tulsa, relationships matter. People do business with people they know, trust, and enjoy being around. In this week's  Do It My Way  podcast, I'...

Can I say something that every entrepreneur has felt… but almost nobody talks about? Sometimes owning a business feels like  your heart is hanging outside of your body . Because this business? It's not just a business to you. It's your baby. You built it from nothing. You've lost sleep over it. You've worried about payroll, clients, reputation, growth, and making sure everyone else succeeds. You t...

Have you ever stopped yourself from posting content, launching something new, raising your prices, or sharing your expertise because of one thought? "Who am I to be teaching this?" Maybe you don't have the degree. The certification. The fancy title. I get it. Because I don't have a business degree either. What I  do  have is lived experience—building a business from the ground up, learning hard le...

You can be incredibly talented… The smartest person in the room. Highly respected. Experienced. Successful. And still be overlooked. Why? Because in today's world, expertise alone is no longer enough. Visibility matters too. That may feel frustrating, especially for women who were taught to keep their heads down, work hard, and let results speak for themselves. But here's the truth: The opportunit...

I used to think getting in shape meant pushing harder. Harder workouts. More intensity. Sweat more. Do more. Don't stop. But after knee surgery… I didn't have that option anymore. And honestly? It forced me to ask a better question: "How long can I support my body?" Instead of… "How hard can I push it?" That one shift changed everything. In this week's  Do It My Way  episode, I'm sharing what I'm...

I want to start this week's conversation with something that might feel a little uncomfortable, but important. We're hearing a lot of noise right now about AI replacing jobs, replacing creativity, replacing businesses. But that's not actually what I'm seeing. AI isn't replacing people. It's exposing them. It's exposing who has systems…and who is still operating manually. It's exposing who has clar...

Last week, I was told I owed  $45,000 in taxes. And I was ready to pay it. No questions. No pushback. Just, "Okay… let's handle it." But something didn't feel right. So I paused. I asked one more question. I got a second opinion. And what I found? It was wrong. I was taxed on something that isn't even taxable, which inflated the number by tens of thousands of dollars. That moment got me thinking…...

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything right… but still not moving forward? Same effort. Same routine. Same space. That's exactly where I was until something changed. We recently moved into a new office, and almost overnight…everything shifted. The energy felt different. The ideas started flowing. The team showed up stronger. It made me realize something powerful: Sometimes it's not you t...

What if I told you… A private community of just 500 women could outperform an audience of 50,000? No ads. No funnels. No complicated tech. Just connection and a strategy most people are completely overlooking right now. In this episode of  Do It My Way , we're pulling back the curtain on something we recently launched… and why the engagement (and opportunity) has been nothing short of insane. We'r...

One of the biggest lies women believe is that confident people don't struggle with self-doubt. But I'll let you in on a little secret… They do. Even after starting and selling a business… Even after writing a book… Even after launching a podcast and speaking on stages… That voice still shows up sometimes. You know the one. The voice that whispers: Am I good enough? Do I belong here? What if someon...

Lately, I've found myself in a season of life where I've had to step outside my comfort zone… a lot. Not just once or twice, but over and over again. Some of it was exciting. Some of it was scary. And some of it felt like standing on the edge of a cliff wondering,  "Am I really about to do this?" If you're anything like me, you probably enjoy feeling capable, prepared, and in control. Our comfort...

Are you really listening to your body? I spent years pushing myself with early mornings, high-impact workouts, and eating what everyone else said I "should." My knee, my energy, my mood, they all tried to tell me something, but I didn't listen. Until I couldn't ignore it anymore. In this episode of  Listen to Your Body: The Signs Women Ignore , I share what my knee surgery and food experiments tau...
