39: When What Worked Stops Working 09.10.2026

There comes a point in business when the things that have always worked simply stop working. You push harder, do more, and nothing moves. It's tempting to decide something is wrong with you, when you may just be standing at the edge of what's next. In this episode, I talked with Lauren Golen, founder of The Crossing, about decision making, leadership, and what it means to listen to your bo...

38: Video Marketing, YouTube, and Trust 25.09.2026

There is a certain discomfort in doing something well before anyone is watching. Repetition feels tedious, showing up consistently feels invisible, and it is tempting to chase the shiny, viral moment instead of trusting that quiet, steady work builds something real. But trust, in business and in life, is built the same way: slowly, through repetition, long before you ever see the return. In this e...

37: Gentle Marketing: Growing Without the Grind 10.09.2026

Somewhere along the way, marketing became something we brace ourselves for. We show up because we are supposed to, on the platform we are supposed to be on, at a pace someone else set for us. Then we wonder why the whole thing feels like a treadmill we cannot step off of. In this episode, I sat down with Kelsey Buelow, owner of Wonderfully Made Gifting Company, to talk about what she calls gentle...

36: Authenticity, Going Viral, and Showing Up Online 28.08.2026

Most small business owners start a business to do the thing they are good at, then end up having to be a content creator, designer and marketer too. So how do you keep showing up for the work you actually love without letting the marketing side fall through the cracks? In this episode, I sat down with Selena Gonzales, founder of Enrich Digital Marketing, to talk about organic social media, going v...

35: "I" Before "We": Owning Your Voice 14.08.2026

Most of us were trained to hide behind "we." We learned it in our first jobs, we carried it into our own businesses, and we tell ourselves it sounds more professional. But when you are the face of your business, hiding behind "we" isn't humility, it can be a missed connection. In this episode, I sat down with Jill Ivey, founder, principal, and chief storyteller of Jillitant...

34: Behind the Brand: Pissed Off Farmer 24.07.2026

Marking 17 years of Branch Creative Co. has given me a deep appreciation for the ebbs, flows, and quiet evolution of building a business. Looking back to when I first stepped out on my own, I was driven by the desire to leave office life behind, mother my kids differently, and be able to have the flexibility to be at home. What I didn't fully anticipate was the grit, blood, sweat, and tears re...

33: Vocabulary and the Power of Your Natural Strengths 10.07.2026

There is a distinct difference between being capable of doing it all and being genuinely happy doing it. As women, we slip easily into multiple roles at the same time, organizer, mother, business owner, volunteer, mentor, etc. But when you are constantly operating outside of your natural zone of genius, you aren’t just working hard, you are quietly burning yourself out. In this episode, I sat down...

32: Taking the Leap: From Corporate to a Free Spirit Business 26.06.2026

What most people don't realize when they start a business is how much it will ask of them personally. It shines a bright light on your self-worth, your fears, your boundaries, and your beliefs. You grow as your business grows. In this episode, I sat down with my dear friend Kris Schneider, the brilliant force behind Kindred Spirits Creative, for a conversation about truth, evolution, and what...

31: The Future of Work: Embracing AI and Human Creativity 12.06.2026

There is a strange comfort we find when a new AI tool isn’t quite perfect yet. We see a wonky design or a clunky piece of copy generated by a prompt, and we breathe a quiet sigh of relief, thinking, Okay, my job is safe for a little longer.  But the reality is, this is the worst that AI will ever be. And instead of waiting around for tech to become flawless, the real challenge for entrepreneurs is...

30: Unleashing Business Momentum 05.06.2026

When you step into the world of entrepreneurship, your business becomes a direct reflection of who you are. It has a way of shining a bright light on your self-worth, your fears, your boundaries, and your beliefs. In this episode, I sat down with performance coach and founder of Leadmore, John Meyer, to talk about business growth, personal alignment, and the unexpected factors that influence our w...

29: ADHD, Visibility, and Showing Up Boldly 22.05.2026

There is something powerful about realizing the way your mind works is not something to fix, but something to understand. In this episode, I sat down with Alicia Schumacher to talk about visibility, identity, and navigating life and business as neurodivergent women. Alicia shared how discovering her ADHD at 39 completely changed the way she understood herself, her work, and her purpose. So many wo...

28: Fear, Mindset, and Growth 08.05.2026

Fear is sneaky. It does not always show up loud and obvious. Sometimes it looks like overthinking, perfectionism, or staying "busy" to avoid the thing you actually need to do. In this episode, we are unpacking the subtle ways fear quietly shapes your decisions in business. Whether it is hesitating to raise your prices, holding back from a big opportunity, or waiting until you feel "...

27: Profit and Presence: Yes, You Can Have Both 24.04.2026

In this episode, I sat down with Lauren Apple, a scaling strategist, keynote speaker, and CEO of Profit and Presence, to talk about what it really looks like to build a successful business without sacrificing your life at home. From the very beginning, Lauren shared a powerful perspective on branding, focusing less on impressing people and more on making them feel seen, understood, and given permi...

26: Plot Twist! Here's What Season Two is All About 10.04.2026

I’m back for season two with a big update: the podcast has officially been rebranded from Magnetic Coach  to Grown From Within . During my break, I gave myself the space to reflect on what I truly enjoyed creating and what resonated most with you. I realized that the conversations around personal growth, mindset, and emotional resilience were the ones I felt most connected to, and that clarity led...

25: Mindset, Self-Love, and Success with Helen Eimers 30.01.2026

In this episode, I talked with Helen Eimers, a success coach and hypnotherapist who helps high-achieving women entrepreneurs. We spoke about how much our thoughts shape our confidence, our actions, and our results. Helen shared how her work focuses on mindset, self-love, and simple tools that help women feel more confident and calm in everyday moments. She explained how small habits and fun practi...

24: Putting a Face to Your Brand with Mychelle Gacke 16.01.2026

I’ve been wanting to bring a brand photographer onto the show for a long time, and this conversation felt like the perfect fit. I’m joined by Mychelle Gacke of M. Kaye Photography, and we talk all about what brand photography really is, why it goes so much deeper than a quick headshot session, and how powerful it can be for coaches and business owners who want to show up confidently and consistent...

23: How I’m Doing Goal Setting Differently This Year 08.01.2026

On this episode, I'm sharing how I am approaching goal setting in a radically different way as I step into a new calendar year. Instead of rushing to set big, rigid goals, I talk about slowing down, leaning into the wintering season, and only planning for the first quarter (or season) of the year. This approach is less about pressure and more about intention, clarity, and choosing what actuall...

22: Creating Space for What’s Next 29.12.2025

I'm putting a bow on 2025 by talking about one of my favorite end-of-year rituals...creating space for what’s next. This quiet stretch between Christmas and the new year is such a sacred time to pause, reflect, and make room for growth. Because before we can welcome new ideas, opportunities, or aligned clients, we have to gently let go of what’s no longer serving us. I’ll walk you through how...

21: When and How to Audit Your Brand 12.12.2025

I’m diving into a topic that hits home for so many business owners: what to do when your brand just doesn’t feel like “you” anymore. As we grow personally and professionally, our brands should evolve with us. But often, they get stuck reflecting an old version of who we were, not who we’ve become. In this episode, I talk about how to recognize the signs that it’s time for a rebrand, how to audit y...

20: Things I’m Thankful My Business Taught Me 28.11.2025

In this episode, I’m reflecting on the gentle lessons I'm thankful that my business taught me this year. From a dream rebrand that came together in perfect divine timing to a client who found me through Google, these moments reminded me that good things happen when you trust the process and keep showing up. I’m also sharing what I learned from setting a goal of 52 coffee connections and how ge...
