[biz 64] Two Things I Wish I Did Sooner In My Personal Training Business 24.06.2022

TL;DL: 1. Hire help sooner.  Why I didn't: -I truly was not making enough money -I didn't know enough about the difference between profit, revenue, and my paycheck -I thought it "meant I was successful" because I had to work all of the time, so I didn't see it as a problem. I thought that meant I was "doing it right."   2. Carve out times for small group classes ASAP Why I didn't: I kinda did do t...

236: how to take care of yourself and why we don't know how 17.06.2022

My most often-cited quote is: "Whatever size and shape your body takes when you're taking the best care of yourself is the size and shape your body is meant to be." So few women seem to be able to understand what that actually means. And it's because we have no idea what it means to take care of ourselves. This episode explores multiple intersections, like: -the patriarchal oppression of the femal...

[biz 60] UnFYB: Your Schedule (time & money) 02.12.2021

How should you set up your work schedule, and how do you decide, when you're a business owner? Time is one of the biggest things we talk about in UnFYB-- time is a non-renewable resource, once we spend it, we can't get it back. What happens all too often is that once you start a business, you jam-pack your schedule with anything that will bring you money. I get it. I really do. At some point, you'...

[biz 59] UnFYB- Marketing 24.11.2021

"Marketing" is just a really serious sounding word that means: inviting people to your party.

And- what's the point? Now, in real life, you can throw a party for no reason at all. In business, however...

[biz 58] When Life Poops On Your Head 18.11.2021

It happens to all of us- the sky opens up and BAM- buckets of poop come pouring down on top of you. Such is life. We can't prevent the crap from falling from the sky, but we can start to cultivate a "system" rooted in self-trust that helps us triage our life when things get a bit sticky.

226: Why you don't "feel like" working out 26.10.2021

I may lose a lot of you on this episode, so here's what you need to know heading into it: Not all of our thoughts are true. Our thoughts dictate our feelings. Our feelings are valid, EVEN IF our thoughts aren't true (or helpful.) Chances are, you're just like me. You love lifting, you love the grit, you love the grind, you love the focus. And yet, you can be found quite often thinking the thought:...

225: Am I lovable? 15.10.2021

I think we've been asking ourselves the wrong questions. We waste an awful lot of time asking and wondering: Do I look ok? Does my hair look alright? Am I wearing enough makeup? Or too much? Does my body look ok? Does it tell the 'right' story? Am I doing this right? When really, I think, what we've been trying to ask along is: Am I relevant? Do I matter? Does anyone see me? Am I lovable? I wonder...
