Hi Reader, This week’s podcast was born out of a messy Saturday that started at 2 a.m. in the A&E with my son (he’s okay now, thank goodness 🙏). It reminded me of something I’ve been learning over and over again: It’s not your to-do list that creates your reality. It’s the energy you bring to everything you do. Last week we talked about mindset and identity. This week, we’re onto the E in my MES Framework: Energy. Here’s the truth: You can have the best plan in the world, but if you’re...

Hi Reader, A few years ago, it took me ~2 years to go from 'nice to meet you' to 'yes, I’m a client'. Today it’s ~5 months - while working full-time and building in ~1 hour a day. What changed wasn’t a trendy tactic. It was who I was being. Inside this week’s podcast episode, I share: The identity → beliefs → emotions → actions chain that quietly controls your results (and timelines) The refund that hurt, and the alignment lesson that followed Why my newest client arrived inbound with zero...

Hi Reader, For years, I thought I only had two choices: Stay in my job for the steady paycheck — but miss out on time with my kids. Or quit to be there for them — and lose financial security my family depends on. Sound familiar? I call this the false choice. Because the truth is, you don’t have to choose between career or kids. Here’s what I did instead: I carved out just 1 focused hour a day in the margins of mom-life. I stopped waiting for the 'perfect time' or 3-hour blocks that never...

Hi Reader, It's August 2025 - the start of my 12-month experiment to lean into and do what scares me but that I know it's the right thing for me to do. Not anyone else, just me. Beginning with sharing about a topic that I used to hide from others, afraid what they would think of me if they found out. This week’s podcast is one of the most personal I’ve recorded. It’s about fear. And how it sneaks into our decisions when we’re building a business and trying to grow into the next version of...

Hi Reader, I used to hide behind quote posts and faceless content. What would my corporate colleagues think if they saw me talking about my side hustle? What if my boss questioned my commitment? What if other moms judged me for 'trying to do it all'? So I stayed invisible. Safe updates only. No personal stories. No mention of my business. But here's what I realized: My fear of judgment was keeping me from helping the working mom scrolling at 11 PM, feeling completely trapped between a job...

Reader, If you’ve ever felt so overwhelmed by all the advice about 'how to grow your business' that you don’t know what to do anymore… I get it. As a full-time working mom myself, I know how hard it is to juggle family, career, and the dream of building something on the side. When we’re already stretched thin, the noise of conflicting strategies only adds to the exhaustion. This week on the podcast, I shared: Why overwhelm keeps you stuck (and what it’s really doing to your brain and body)...

Reader, It's been almost 10 years, but I'll never forget climbing those office steps thinking, 'There has to be more than this.' I had the title. I had the salary. But sitting in another pointless meeting while my kids were at daycare, I realized I was living someone else's definition of success. The 3rd Path Here's what led me to the 3rd path: After a failed 6-figure café venture left us in debt, I thought I had only two choices: climb the corporate ladder or stay home with the kids. The...

Reader, Yesterday I had the 'perfect"'schedule planned for my side business: 4:30am - Morning routine (yoga, meditation, journaling 12:00pm - Lunch power hour on LinkedIn 9:30pm - Early bedtime to do it all again Then I found out my son needed surgery - not life-threatening, but last-minute to remove an abscess that was causing him pain. The doctor's travel schedule meant it had to happen immediately. My morning routine became hospital parking and insurance forms. My 'power hour' became...

Reader, Can I be honest with you about something? I used to wait for the 'perfect moment' to make career moves. When the kids were older. When I had more savings. When I felt 100% confident I could pull it off. Here's what I learned: That moment never comes. The career you want? The one that gives you fulfilling work, time flexibility, and financial freedom? It starts with believing you can figure it out as you go. Today I'm sharing the 3-step method I use to build that belief - even when I'm...
