Women With GRIT Podcast

Business EN ↓ 31 episodes

Formerly known as the Progress to Profits Podcast. Women With GRIT is the movement I began years ago and now she's ready to come out of the closet. This is not your curated reality show. We put a strong emphasis on GRIT as the winning strategy to becoming the humans we were created to be and build businesses in alignment with our calling, not competition-driven hustle. I'm just here to talk about life, business and relationships the way I want to with people I proudly want to do it with. Raw, slightly uncensored, and definitely spirit-led.

EP 32: The mirror is what gives you freedom. It's not the absence of problems—it's the willingness to look at them. 02.01.2026

It's December 31st. The last three days have felt like two weeks crammed together. I've had hard conversations this week—and I'm ending 2025 lighter because of them. This isn't a polished "here's everything I learned this year" episode. It's raw. It's what actually happened when challenges came up on my team and how I handled them. I'm sharing my two non-negotiables before any hard conversation: s...

EP 31: Discipline before data: The real secret to business clarity 31.12.2025

You've probably heard "what gets measured gets managed." But here's what nobody tells you: the data doesn't create the discipline. The discipline creates the data. That one shift changed everything for me—and it's the difference between business owners who scale with freedom and those who stay stuck guessing. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the dashboards aren't your problem, why tracking y...

EP 30: It's not a time problem; it's a visability problem. 30.12.2025

What if the only thing standing between you and running your business from anywhere in the world is a question you haven't learned to ask yet? I just handed my team 12 workflows to build for Q1—without a single meeting about how to build them. Because I've learned that my job isn't to create the systems. My job is to define the result, identify the data I need to see, and let my team lead the buil...

EP 29: The biggest mistake I ever made and will make in my business 26.12.2025

Christmas Eve. Date night with my husband. Planning for 2026. And somewhere in that conversation, I finally said out loud the biggest mistake I've ever made in my business—one I'm still working through to this day. I didn't believe in myself. For years, I hid behind my CPA license. I let the credential do the talking because I didn't trust that my story, my perspective, my way of helping people wa...

EP 28: The lonliest year - but one of the things that made it better. 24.12.2025

2025 was the loneliest year of entrepreneurship I've experienced. And I know I'm not the only one who felt it. In this episode, I'm getting real about what it's like to grow a business in a small town, surrounded by great people who don't share your goals—and how the culture inside my company became the antidote to that isolation. The biggest factor in my leadership growth this year? Transparency....

EP 27: If you're setting multiple goals for 2026, you're already telling on yourself. 23.12.2025

Warren Buffett said it best: "Diversification is the protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you're doing." We've been sold on the idea that more goals mean more ambition. But here's the truth: multiple goals create multiple conflicting priorities—and conflict kills momentum. In this episode, I'm breaking down why we set just ONE North Star for the year, and how making...

EP 26: The wrong words could be wrecking your sales and leadership 22.12.2025

What if the gap between you and your next level of profitability isn't a strategy problem—it's a language problem?

They're revealing what they believe . And if you can't shift the belief, you'll never clos...

EP 24: Why 'I Can't Afford It' Is Sabotaging Your Success 22.09.2025

The word 'afford' actually means 'to advance' or 'to put forth' - so when you say 'I can't afford this,' you're literally telling your brain you lack the ability to advance yourself. And since your brain can't visualize 'can't' but it can visualize 'lack,' you're reinforcing scarcity thinking every single time. In this episode, we explore how the words we use shape our reality (your body is 60% wa...
