The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women

One of the oldest questions of all time is: “How do I find a balance between work, home, self, and life?” Balance is something that we’re all craving yet can’t seem to find the magic formula to. How can I do all the things in my life well without feeling like I’m compromising something else? How do all THOSE people seem to have it all together? This week’s episode is debunking the concept of balan...

If you tuned in earlier this week, you heard I had three incredibly special guests, the Worx girls—the amazing powerhouse women that went through #LiberationWeek with me. This week, I want you to take your power back by owning your core negative beliefs. So how does one even figure out their core negative beliefs? Well, this is really a time for reflection to get real with yourself. Maybe you&apos...

I was feeling pretty sorry for myself a few months ago. Laying on the couch, drinking wine, and scrolling through Facebook. Then a sponsored post crossed my path—one that led me to enroll in Kate Blake’s 8-week program, resulting in major breakthroughs and the challenge to liberate my negative beliefs by wearing them loud and proud on a t-shirt.  And because I work with insanely supportive, intuit...

How many times along your journey have you felt like, I really want to do that, but I don't feel like I'm ready yet . Or maybe there's part of you that says, Hell yes, girl. Hell yes, guy. Let's get this moving . And then the other part of you is like, Oh, hell no . So then you end up in this mental tug-of-war when you feel like you could —but there's a whole part of you t...

Instagram is by far my social platform of choice. You get all of the visual inspiration without all the extra nonsense. Just like any other tool, it takes time to learn how to use it to enhance your business. I’m guilty of getting sucked into the feed of beautiful things and last-minute “shit, I haven’t posted in a while, let me throw this up there quick,” mindset. On today’s episode, we have arti...

I'll tell you what, nothing kills a vibe quicker than not feeling like you've got all of your shit put together when preparing for something big. And while this definitely alludes to Episode 25 about planning out your day to kinda reduce extra anxiety, today I want to talk about preparing yourself physically and mentally . It's so easy to run in a hundred different directions, takin...

One of the biggest mistakes I see in business (and trust me, I had a front-row seat to this myself for the last decade) is undercharging. We feel BAD charging for something that comes so easy to us. So we end up not asking for what we're worth and simply dealing with the financial consequences that follow. Why? Because those consequences only affect ourselves—right? And we've somehow dec...

If you didn't tune into Tuesday's episode with Amy Taylor , The Shame Eliminator, I'm going to highly recommend you put on the breaks, pause this episode, and go back. But if you did listen to it, you know all about shame and those things we tell ourselves. For this week's Powerback, we're going to talk about our inner thoughts. So we say a lot of shit to ourselves, but we...

I’m gonna need you guys to pour yourself a cup of your favorite whatever, get a note pad, and get ready for some of the most robust information we’ve ever talked about. On this week’s episode, we welcomed Amy Taylor; speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and also known as THE SHAME ELIMINATOR. The title alone is enough to start shifting your core. Amy is not only full of energy and enthusiasm, but she’s a...

Screwing up is not always the greatest feeling in the world and often means that we have failed at something. We've goofed something up, we've made a mistake, something has gone a little bit wonky, and by natural human default we associate messing up with, we have failed and we suck. It's often a negative feeling that makes us want to hide. We feel shameful. We feel like, "Why...

You’ve got a busy day ahead of you. A bunch of meetings, a handful of calls and emails to return, a heavy deadline you’re not prepared for, and, oh yeah, you have to get the kiddos to their practice right after work. Every day you’re swinging from tree branch to tree branch, praying one doesn’t snap when you grab it. It’s this constant cramming and rushing that causes a ton of unnecessary anxiety...

Outside of being a business owner, I'm going to guess that there's a handful of hobbies that you really enjoy doing. It could be working out or gardening or traveling. Everyone has their own thing that brings them a little extra joy in their life. And then sometimes comes this turning point where we make the things that bring us so much happiness into a chore or into something that we ha...

The power of relationships is one of the most important resources that we have on this planet. Today on The Gutsy Podcast , we have a fabulous guest and we’re going to really just dig down into the depths of not only connecting and creating meaningful relationships but how that helps you live life to the fullest. We’ll also hit on the health benefits this comes with as well. TODAY’S GUEST Today I’...

We tend to put the people that we admire the most, the business owners that we look up to, the role models that we strive to be, and we put them on this pedestal that feels so out of our reach that we can't possibly ever achieve their level. What we often don't realize, though, is that the only difference between what you're doing and what the people that you're admiring are do...

Ah the infamous "I don't have time to take care of myself." As business owners, entrepreneurs, wives, husbands, parents, cousins, neighbors—we often are the last person that we take care of. And why is that? Because not caring for ourselves seemingly doesn't affect anyone else. It's not letting anyone else down. The truth of the matter is, by not caring for ourselves we ar...

It's so easy to get knee deep in a project, whether it's home or work, especially when the juices are flowing and you just really kind of get in the zone, something that you often have to work really hard to get into without distractions. But, there's also a difference with getting knee deep into something while you're in the zone versus staying down in the trenches indefinitel...

You're going about your day, week, or month. Things seem to be going really well for the first time in quite some time, and then all of a sudden it hits you. Something goes on in your life or your business and you find yourself in what we call a setback. Setbacks can be something as little as you have to reroute your day and they can be something that makes you want to just crawl in your bed...

We have all been in situations where something did not go the way that we thought. Someone said something that caught us off guard. A situation didn't pan out the way that we wanted to. An awesome client that, oh, we got to like 99.9% of the way and then in that last little fraction of a percentage, the contract fell out. There's a hundred thousand million ways for things to go wrong and...

Nothing in the world feels more true than the things that we tell ourselves in our own minds. You know what I'm talking about? These are the phrases and words that we tell ourselves over and over again as if we have our favorite song on repeat on the radio. Here's the thing though, the things that we tell ourselves are a reflection of what's going on in our lives. What you think you...

Happiness. Sometimes that word is feeling like a buzzword these days, isn't it? Like all of a sudden it's trendy to be happy or we have these quotes where it's like good vibes only as if bad vibes don't exist. Or then you have the polar opposite where if you are a happy person and you just generally shoot rainbows out of your ass, then you're criticized for being this fake...

This week on The Gutsy Podcast, we're going to talk about one, identifying toxic people and two, how to create healthy separation boundaries between you and them. Let's face it, approaching toxic people and saying, "You know what? I'm good. We're not going to do this anymore," is probably one of the more harder things to do as a human. Anytime that you have to create...

Many of you are working full-time - you've got regular day jobs, evening jobs, weekend jobs - but you've got this thing on the side, right? You've got an idea for a business. You started to slowly build it and it's starting to gain momentum, but when is it time to start changing the mindset and switching around your schedule to turn that side hustle into your full-time gig? Thi...

One of the most exhausting things we can do as humans is to pretend we are somebody we are not. You know how it goes, you get up in the morning, look in the mirror, put on your work clothes, and head to work. Then all of a sudden you go into this different persona, this different personality you are not. You talk differently, act differently, change your clothes accordingly. Then you find yourself...

We've all been there - working with a client that seems so great in the beginning and by halfway through the relationship you are counting down the hours until it's over. They're micromanaging you, they're telling you how to do your job, they're expecting you to be a hands-on-keyboard, or are just overlooking every single move you make. And by the end of it, neither one of...
