Here we are again, talking about money! Why? It’s important because, for something we earn, touch, use, and interact with every day we sure have a hard time understanding how to make it work for us. For too many of us, especially women, it feels like we work for it but rarely feel we have any control over it.  Let’s change that!  On today’s episode, financial advisor and CEO, Stephanie Jones of St...

Have you considered going into business for yourself, but perhaps thought you weren’t outgoing enough or didn’t have enough pizzaz? Well, here’s the good news, that isn’t necessary. Entrepreneurship is for everyone, the key is to find the right format, clients, and partners that play to your strengths, not your shortcomings.  Today, I’m joined by an award-winning business coach Katherine Mackenzie...

Have you ever experienced a spiritual transformation? If you're not sure, hop into this week's episode where, in her book In Deep Shift, my guest, Valerie Gangas, writes about the markers of a spiritual awakening, what feels weird but is normal, and also how we can have hope that the hard work of shedding old habits and identities doesn't last forever.  This episode is the anatomy o...

In today's episode, we're talking about beauty!  Not the kind you get from creams and the right shade of lipstick, but the kind you cultivate from the inside out. The kind of beauty where you know you value and worth and that gives you a glow and vitality you've never seen before.  My guest today is beauty expert and life and mindset coach, Marlu Soria. She shares with us what she l...

On today’s episode, my special guest is ME!  I’m coming to you today solo on the mic to share my thoughts about the process of healing, the process of coming home to yourself, and how that looks out in the real world while interacting with other real people, especially the ones we love.  There is a lot of mainstream talk about doing this kind of work, but very few talk about how we relate differen...

Money, Money, Money.  What a charged and ever-present topic. Money can hold meaning in significantly different ways for all of us, symbolizing access, status, struggle, or those things we want most that are just out of our reach.  No matter where we land on the spectrum of having or not having enough money, our relationship with it, how we spend and save it,  and most importantly how we feel about...

Did you hear that Facebook and Instagram went down yesterday?  This is relevant because today we are talking about something for your business that makes social media less important than you imagine when it comes to fostering relationships and, ultimately sales, from your followers.  It’s something called list building, which has the highest return on investment than any other marketing strategy....

The teen years can be a wild ride! As parents, it’s our job not to make them even harder.  It’s tempting to make it about us and what we want and need - which is usually feeling in control of their lives even when that isn’t the reality anymore. The painful part is accepting that, loosening the grip, learning to trust them, and walking them through the highs and lows as they come with love, love,...

FROM THE  SEASON 1 ARCHIVES: Overworked, overcommitted, and generally over it. That sums up a whole lot of people in the world right now. On today's episode, I’m joined by Cori Lassahn and we’re talking about REST and how to get more of it, like, right now. Featured in GOOP and Sunset Magazine, Cori is a registered yoga instructor and has taught yoga for 22-years. She created Vineyard Yoga ei...

Calling all business owners and entrepreneurs! This one is for you. If you have a business then you know opening one is easy - all you need is something to sell, and someone to buy it, and voila you are in business. But to stand out in business, to find your perfect clients in business, and to thrive as a business that is a whole other story.  To stand out, you need something called a brand identi...

Did you know that we have a physical body and an energy body? When we think about getting healthy, we often focus on our physical body - eating better, sleeping, and exercising. But we also have an energy body that extends about 6' around our physical body, and it needs almost as much attention to stay healthy and vibrant. Today we're revisiting an episode from Season 1 recorded with my...

Have you considered opening your own business?  It sounds fun and liberating, but it can be easy to swap one job for another job that takes as much (or more) time as you work for yourself. The key here is to love what you do, get the systems in place to support your time management,  and from there understand what it means to be profitable.  On today's episode, financial planner and advisor J...

You might know your checking account balance, but do you know your worth?  If you've deferred this information, and the management of your money, over to a spouse or partner, then listen up! If a wealthy future and comfortable retirement are a part of your plan, it's best to start now with a strategy. The first step is knowing where you stand, what you have, and what you still need. It d...

We're starting the new year ditching the diet mindset. How about it? Let's try instead, healing our relationship with food and learning to enjoy nourishing our bodies. It changes everything when we have the proper fuel, and feel good. When we feel good, we look good, naturally. On today's episode, Nutrition Mindset Coach, Jacqueline Hackett leads the conversation about something won...

Happy New Year! Before you dive into setting up your expectations for the year, let's talk about resolutions vs. intentions and how all of that plays into how you define authenticity.  On this episode, my guest is De'Nicea Hilton Harper, Doctor of Oriental Medicine, who joins me to talk about getting to the heart of your naturally, authentic persona, (i.e. the real you) and bringing that...

What a massive year!! So much happened in the last 12 months I can hardly believe it, but this time of year between Christmas and New Year's can be weird and unsettling. Are we supposed to relax and enjoy, or should we ponder, plan, and make resolutions? It's a question that can make this week feel a little agitated and confusing.  Doing it right feels like a lot of pressure.  On today&a...

Today we're talking about suffering. Such a fun holiday topic, but this time of year we want to feel good and joyful, but often some kind of pain is holding us back. The funny thing is, we accept that pain - physical, emotional or spiritual - as just part of our humanity.  While it's true, that we do have a “pain body”, we’re not meant to live there. Pain is a messaging system that helps...

What would your life look like if you were always just you? Not professional you and personal you, but just you. Today, we deep dive with Laura Hulleman with Endotype Branding who uses the Endotype Formula  to help business owners understand that being themselves is all you need to build a successful brand. This is a fun conversation about stripping away the fancy strategies and focusing on the re...

THE POWER OF TINY! Less is more. You have heard it, but are you living it?  It sounds so good to simplify. To slow down. But so many of us aren’t living in alignment with our values and priorities around this.  Do you dread your days? Do you feel burned out? Are you always pushing and trying to get to the next level? Or, maybe, you're just trying to get through another exhausting day. You mig...

When you do business, of course, the goal is to get noticed, provide a quality good or service, and then enjoy the fruits of your efforts. But how to get noticed by the right people, is the question. Hustle, flash, and pushy selling are still very much alive but are those tactics drawing in the kind of clients and business you want to attract?  On today’s episode, I welcome visibility strategist a...

We're taking another look at time management because life only seems to get busier. And with the holidays upon us, it’s bonkers. So, let’s get tools to help us survive and thrive through any changes in our schedules or family life. Today my guest is Jennifer Schwytzer a certified Life Coach who launched KINDfulness Coaching after experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety in the workplace...

How do you know your side hustle is worthy of main squeeze status?  That’s the question I asked my guest today, Side Hustle Coach Christen N. James, as we talk about when to know you’re ready for the second job - the passion project - to become your primary money maker, time taker, and career up-leveling.   It’s a big leap. It can be scary, but when you’ve put the right pieces in place, and the ti...

It’s important to be a valuable part of a community. But ask yourself, how much of what you're bringing to the table is about what other people want from you rather than what you want to give.  Are you doing things for validation or are you creating from a place that's self-validating?  Meaning, you love what you’re producing, achieving, living, and doing for yourself first. Prioritizing...

If you want to realize your bigger dreams (or even just leave work on time most days) then the most important skill to master is time management. It's more than just marking items off the list, it starts with a mindset that focuses on your long-term success. It's not about the time you have, it's about the tasks you do with the time you have. Today I'm joined by business strate...
