I started a podcast in November 2020. And gave up on it in November 2023.


After 128 episodes, I quit.

I burnt out trying to keep it going despite it not getting

  • The listeners I wanted
  • The leads I planned for
  • The downloads I anticipated

Reader, when you’re putting in the reps and don’t get results, it’s easy to feel defeated.

  • What’s the point?
  • Why waste your energy?
  • Or time you could be spending with your kids?

These were my thoughts.

I had forgotten when I started, I also wanted to

  • Overcome my fear of approaching guests
  • Get ‘free’ coaching sessions from them through the podcast LOL
  • Build a community of like-minded women who support and empower each other

All of which I’d accomplished.

If you’re feeling defeated because you’ve invested time, energy and money and still aren't where you want to be, remember:

  • Building a business is a very long game
  • Treat the process like listening to your favorite song - enjoy the moment
  • Make sure your daily business activities build momentum, not just keep you busy

Taking my own advice, I decided to bring back my weekly solo podcast episodes after a year!

Beginning with what I wished I knew when I started.

I'd love to hear what you thought about the episode.

Should I do more of such solo episodes? Y/N?

Hit reply and let me know!

Lack: What if I can’t make enough money? Judgment: What will people think of me? I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took. Here’s the truth I’ve learned: Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming...

Hello Reader, Six years ago, at my dad’s wake, I kept hearing his voice ask me a single, haunting question: 'What will your legacy be?' That question changed the trajectory of my life. Two weeks later, I incorporated my business - not because I had it all figured out, but because I didn’t want fear to dictate my future. Today I honor my dad's 6th death anniversary with this week’s podcast, From Grief to Growth: How My Dad’s Words Shape My Business and how he continues to guide me. I share:...

Hello Reader, Ever set a big goal, then life got in the way?The sick kid. The late nights at work. The weekend that disappeared in errands. That used to throw me completely off. I’d feel like I 'failed' and wonder if I’d ever make my business work. Until I discovered the secret: systems. Systems are what keep me moving, even when everything else falls apart. My morning routine sets the tone for the day. My evening reflection pulls out lessons (even from tough days). My weekend batching gets...
