The Boss Mom Podcast

As women, we often find ourselves woven into the company of people who may not be of our choosing. The energy they bring, their perspectives, and their influence can significantly impact our well-being.   But what happens when we crave control over the energies we absorb, and want a circle of individuals who truly align with our essence and aspirations?   As strong and capable women, the question...

Whether it's known to us or not, a ton of our perspectives, behaviors, and triggers are dictated by situations that happened when we were kids.   How we show up in our relationships, parenting and even our businesses always tracks back to our childhoods. Some of the things we brush off and label as "just who we are" actually have a lot to do with early family dynamics. Understanding how these thin...

When the pressure to close deals overshadows the desire to connect with others, sales can feel uncomfortable. The traditional, salesy approach creates a sense of inauthenticity that affects how we sell and leaves people feeling skeptical.   Authenticity is about being genuine, transparent, and focusing on building relationships rather than just closing deals. We need to understand the unique needs...

The digital marketplace is vast. For many, the challenge lies in figuring out how to leverage the power of platforms like Amazon effectively.   Making money online is not always as straightforward as it seems. It requires a strategic approach, and in a market saturated with options, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and uncertain about where to start.   How can we leverage the Amazon Marketplace and t...

As we step into the new year, many of us are filled with anticipation and a sense of renewal, eager to start the year on a positive note.   Amidst the hustle and bustle of daily life, it's easy to lose sight of our goals and become overwhelmed by the decisions we face. Lack of clarity and focus can leave us feeling stuck, hindering our ability to own our accomplishments and make meaningful strides...

The constant internal conflict between conforming to societal expectations and pursuing our authentic desires can lead to feelings of guilt and frustration. It's a struggle that many face – the yearning to break free and live a life that brings genuine happiness and fulfillment.   In a world where societal expectations and norms often dictate our paths, it's easy to feel shackled by circumstances...

We're living in an era filled with both excitement and fear, where we have new opportunities. Yet the pressure to conform to traditional norms can be overwhelming. The idea that the world is our oyster can be empowering, but the reality is often a struggle against the pressure to fit into a mold.   Living up to others' expectations may result in a sense of disconnection from our true selves, creat...

The desire to understand ourselves and others is universal. When it comes to the compatibility of religious faith and astrological beliefs, confusion and skepticism often arise.   It's a dilemma many grapple with: can we simultaneously have faith in the religious sense and believe in astrological guidance?   How do we reconcile the teachings of our faith with the insights offered by astrological c...

A great personality quiz makes your audience feel seen and understood, and that doesn't happen by chance. Quizzes are more than a set of random questions, they are an artform with many moving parts.   Get it right and you'll easily attract the right people, serve your clients, deepen your relationships and sell more. Get it wrong and it can set your marketing back.   Why do quizzes work so well? W...

We want to raise emotionally intelligent, connected and kind children who will become awesome adults. We want them to build good relationships, ask good questions and understand the purpose behind everything they do.   Instead of resigning ourselves to kids just being kids, we can intentionally and proactively teach them what matters and stop reinforcing the wrong ideas.   How do we help our kids...

Every time we tell someone to be grateful for something they find burdensome, frustrating and hard, all we do is create a bunch of guilt and resentment. There's something a lot better than gratitude - perspective.   What if instead of forcing gratitude, we admit that yes, this thing sucks, but we're doing it in service of a greater good or bigger goal? By allowing ourselves to shift perspective an...

As business owners, our brains are our most valuable asset. When we're experiencing low energy, brain fog, feeling run-down and decisions feel hard, that's a sign that something's off. Very often, that thing is sleep.   In the realm of health, we tend to put our focus on food and exercise, but sleep is the foundation of it all. Sleep is free and we're already doing it, so why not make it better?  ...

When people talk about menopause, it's all about hot flashes, night sweats, discomfort and misery. It is what it is, those are the cards we're dealt. Well, I refuse to live in an "it is what it is" world.   As women, we suffer unnecessarily because we try to power through menopause. When we get the help and solutions we need, menopause can be a powerful time of rebirth. Instead of normalizing disc...

Even though we've made massive progress, women still struggle with self-advocacy skills, especially true in the workplace. Communicating the right way, setting boundaries, and speaking up for ourselves benefits us but doing so with confidence and finesse often requires a little outside help.   How do we get the support we need so that we can have families, and still grow in our careers? How do we...

As parents, our goal is to raise kids we actually want to hang out with, but often traditional schooling doesn't encourage inquisitiveness, wit, play and creativity.   We can introduce these elements at home, and allow our kids to develop 360-degree, surround sound thinking. This will benefit them their whole lives, and it can all begin with a good board game. How do we raise intellectual children...

Sometimes our dream job doesn't turn out to be what we expected. That's why Kate Stoermer made the courageous shift from healthcare to real estate. She needed a change, something that would truly ignite her passion and give her the energy she craved. Kate found that spark the world of vacation rentals.   The idea of investing in vacation real estate can be intimidating for many. It's natural to wo...

We all have moments where we feel stuck. We're frozen, frantic, and we just can't seem to pop into productivity, no matter what we do. It happens to all of us, sometimes multiple times a day. I have good news, ladies. There's a way to move through our stuckness faster so that we don't lose too much time.   But first we have to figure what kind of stuck we are.   What are the 4 reasons we get stuck...

Infertility is a struggle so many women deal with privately, and even though medical protocols can help, they aren't the solution for everyone. Modern medicine has made us forget that our bodies are made to heal themselves. We're taught to normalize dis-regulation in our bodies and then use Band-Aid solutions instead of getting to the root cause.   How do we tune into our bodies and advocate for o...

Being surrounded by people who genuinely care about us is so important for human beings, but sadly, it's rare. Far too many people walk around feeling unsupported, unseen and broken.   Creating connection and building communities where they feel cared for, rooted for and seen makes such a huge impact on how they show up in the world.   How do we build communities where people feel at home right of...

A few years ago, the answer to growing a business was adding a bunch of value and doing all the teaching and training yourself. Today, if we want our audience to hang around, fall in love with us, share us, have loyalty and buy from us, we have to build communities.   How do we make people validated, valued and also create connection with shared beliefs and a vision for the future?   In this episo...

The journey of growing our businesses is anything but a straight line. We evolve, change our minds, and things shift in our worlds. We'll go through stages of figuring things out, reworking things and pivoting and that's totally okay! That journey builds up a toolkit that makes our communities stronger.   How do we figure out if we're in the right niche and talking to the right people? How do we s...

As Boss Moms with kids returning to school, getting back into old routines and figuring out new ones, feeling unfocused and stressed out is inevitable.   How do we bring ourselves back to center after feeling out of alignment? Is it normal to feel unfocused? Are we spending our time in the right places?   In this episode, I talk about how to reign our focus back in, and why we should give ourselve...

There's a lot of energy in this world. That's why we can feel drained by certain people but energized by others.   Understanding what energy makes us feel good and finding more of it allows us to build the lives we want. Also knowing what's low vibration for us steers away from things that zap our energy.   How can we understand the different energy around us and how it connects to our lives?   In...

Summer is over and we're in the throes of our kids going back to school. That means a return to our routines, which can be overwhelming, but also exciting for our businesses.   We have more space in our schedules to get work done and we can leverage a season where people are in buying mode.   If we want Q4 and the beginning of next year to be powerful, there are 4 things we have to ask ourselves....

As Boss Moms, we are strong, independent and know what we want. We can live our lives and realize how wonderful, unique and dynamic we are but sometimes it's difficult to find a meaningful partnership with somebody.   How do we go about creating new experiences with our partners and figure out who is good for us? As women, how do we stay firm on our feet but also lean back when someone is pursuing...
