In this episode we talk about: - Getting out of your own way. - Setting BIG goals, ones that force you to become a dif...

I've talked to so many women who feel uncomfortable with SALES or promoting their products & services (I would know, I used to be one of them!).

And it doesn't have to feel inauthentic or icky to do so.   I was teaching a group of fellow entreprene...

I believe that our age isn't so much a number, it's a MINDSET. I haven't talked a lot about this topic on the podcast before, but I'm always looking for and surrounding myself with examples of women who are challenging what society wants us to believe is possible in our 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond--women who are reinventing themselves, starting new businesses, going back to school (or performing hip...
