Brave Little Things

You started your business because you love the work. Coaching, making art, taking photos, designing spaces, helping people heal—whatever your thing is, you want to spend your time doing it. And then there’s the other job: being the entrepreneur who talks about the work, makes the offers, sends the emails, and helps people find you. It can feel frustrating when that job takes you away from the one...

Last week we talked about strengthening self-trust. This week, we’re taking that trust outward. If creating content sometimes feels like you’re talking into a void—or like you’re constantly trying to prove, convince, impress, or get people to care—this episode is for you. I’m talking about one of the simplest shifts I’ve made in the way I create content, and why I believe it’s a huge part of how I...

What if the reason you don’t trust yourself… is because you’ve taught yourself not to? In this short but potent episode, I’m talking about one of the biggest shifts I’ve made in my own life: rebuilding my relationship with myself and learning to trust my own word. We’ll talk about how constantly over-promising and under-delivering to ourselves slowly chips away at self-trust — and the surprisingly...

What if being SEEN isn’t just about having the courage to post the reel, share your opinion, or talk about your work—but letting yourself be seen in your actual life, too? In this episode, I’m sharing the story of the belated birthday party I almost talked myself out of: a bunch of women, a beach, sandcastles, and one very persistent brain offering me 700 reasons why asking people to come celebrat...

This week, we’re talking about the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose—in our businesses, our relationships, our bodies, and really, our lives. I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately as my son starts his first weeks in the army, watching what it looks like to truly go all in for something you want. Because playing to win means putting failure on the table. You might miss...

What if confidence isn’t something you either have or don’t have — but something you can actually build ? In this episode, we’re talking about killer confidence: why it makes such a massive difference in your life, why confidence tends to create MORE confidence, and most importantly, how to start building it when you don’t feel particularly confident yet. I’m sharing 5 things you can actually prac...

There is SO much advice out there about how to build your business, market yourself, grow your audience, get clients, create content — and a whole lot of people telling you, “This is what works.” But just because something works doesn’t mean it works for you. In this episode, I’m starting with a conversation I had with my son on one of our long walks together right before he left for the army — ab...

Most people assume that because I coach, speak, host events and have a podcast, I must be an extrovert. Nope. I’m actually a proud introvert. Or maybe more accurately… an outgoing introvert. For years I judged myself because I needed more alone time than the people around me. I left gatherings early, protected my quiet time fiercely, and honestly wondered if something was wrong with me. Then I sta...

You can have an incredible offer, years of experience, and a genuine desire to help people…and still struggle to get your message to land. In this episode, I share one of the most unforgettable lessons I’ve ever learned—from a guy named Mike, a group of teenagers, and two words written on his eyelids. (Trust me…there’s a point. ) We talk about why so many entrepreneurs accidentally speak in their...

Ever feel like creating has started to feel… heavy? Like every post has to matter. Every podcast has to change someone’s life. Every workshop has to be transformational. Every launch has to work. In this episode, I’m unpacking an idea I’ve been playing with: what if we’ve accidentally given our creativity a job it was never meant to have? I share a story about the attic my sister and I grew up pla...

Comparison is part of being human. Our brains are literally wired to look around and ask, “How am I doing compared to everyone else?” The problem isn’t that we compare. It’s what we make that comparison mean. In this episode, I share why comparing ourselves to other people so quickly turns into shame, why social media pours gasoline on that fire, and how I’m intentionally trying to create a differ...

Have you ever noticed how some things become irresistible—not because they’re objectively better, but because someone else’s excitement makes you want them too? This episode started with a stack of Pokémon cards, a Facebook Marketplace bidding war, and a realization I haven’t been able to stop thinking about: Desire is contagious. We spend so much time trying to make our offers, businesses, and id...

We hear it all the time in business: “Don’t give away too much for free.” But what if generosity isn’t hurting your business… what if it’s one of the very things helping it grow? In this episode, I’m sharing a mindset that’s completely changed the way I think about showing up online, serving others, and building a business that lasts. I talk about what I call your Value Bank —the invisible account...

There comes a point in almost every business where you start wondering if the offer you’ve been selling still feels like you. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when you begin to outgrow something that once felt completely aligned, why that doesn’t mean you’ve built the wrong business, and how to tell the difference between chasing the next shiny thing and genuinely evolving. We also...

The 4 most transformational words you could ever utter in your business? This might not work. Sounds strange, I know. But what if those four words are actually the key to more creativity, self-trust, and resilience? In this episode, I’m sharing why letting go of “This HAS to work” might be exactly what helps you find the path that does. Because maybe success isn’t about having the perfect plan. Ma...

We’ve been taught our whole lives to “do our best.” To make things impressive. Exceptional. A-plus worthy. But what if constantly trying to do your best is actually the thing keeping you stuck? In this episode, I’m talking about B-minus work, perfectionism, minimum baselines, and why so many brilliant people never begin the things they care about most because they’re afraid to do them imperfectly....

This week on Brave Little Things, I have a very special guest joining me… my 10-year-old son, Adiv. Our house has been full of challenges lately, and Adiv had just completed a week-long no-sugar challenge, so I invited him onto the podcast to talk about what it was like to do something hard on purpose. We chat about cravings, motivation, what surprised him, what helped him keep going, and what he...

In this episode, I’m talking about something I’ve been noticing in myself lately — and I think a lot of entrepreneurs and creatives are quietly struggling with it too. We live in a world of constant input. Podcasts, courses, reels, books, ideas, information, noise. And while learning and consuming can feel inspiring and expansive… there comes a point where too much input starts making us feel heav...

In a world obsessed with likes, reach, and “going viral,” what if virality isn’t actually the goal? In this episode, I’m talking about the pressure so many business owners feel to grow fast online — and why chasing attention can sometimes pull us further away from the people we’re actually here to serve. I share: - The story of a coach friend who accidentally went viral overnight - Why huge engage...

School taught many of us how to succeed inside a system. But entrepreneurship, creativity, leadership, and building a meaningful life often require a completely different skill set. In this episode, I’m sharing 6 things I think many of us learned in school that we may need to unlearn as adults — especially if we want to build businesses, take brave action, trust ourselves more deeply, and stop liv...

You know that phase in business where you’re showing up, trying things, putting yourself out there… and it still feels like it’s not working? This episode is about that phase. The one where it’s easy to start questioning yourself. Your ability. Your idea. Whether you’re actually cut out for this. I want to offer a different way to look at it. Instead of seeing it as failure, what if you’re actuall...

Lately, I’ve been having the same conversation again and again—with clients, friends, and other business owners: How do we show up in our businesses when everything feels heavy? When the world feels unstable, emotional, or overwhelming, it’s very easy to quietly disappear. To stop posting, stop selling, and sit in that in-between space of not knowing what’s appropriate or what even makes sense any...

In this episode, I’m walking you through how to build generosity into your business—right from the beginning. We talk about: why waiting until you make more money to give doesn’t really work how to choose what matters to you and where you want your money to go different ways to give (percentages, free spots, supporting causes, everyday generosity) and how creating this kind of “flow” can actually...

In this episode, we’re talking about what it actually means to be a “badass", and why I kind of hate that word and have stopped using it besides for the use of this episode.  Because honestly? Most women are already badasses. Our mothers, our grandmothers, the way we hold life, business, kids, emotions, everything… it’s already there. But there is one piece of “badassery” that I think really...

This episode came straight out of real life. Over the past couple of years, a lot of people have said to me, “You have so much inner strength. I don’t know how you do it.” And living through war while raising kids, running a business, coaching clients, volunteering, and just continuing to live a normal life as much as possible has definitely made me think a lot about that. But the truth is — inner...
