Be a Better Baddie

Let’s talk about identity and stories. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve had three specific moments that made me realize I was holding onto an identity of "woe is me" instead of "CEO." Three separate strangers asked what I do for work, and every time I led with "I just got laid off" instead of "I run my own company." Yuck. Hope you enjoy it!

We're talking about identity shifts, setting CEO boundaries, and why your story doesn't have to be your truth.

It's one of five goal-blocking patterns quietly running the show: the Overthinker, the Perfectionist, the People Pleaser, the Multitasker, or the Lone Wolf. In this episode, I break down each persona, what it's costing you, and what you actually need to close the gap between wanting your goal and achieving it.

Is your gratitude actually keeping you stuck?

It's easy to say "at least I'm doing better than most people" and call it gratitude, but you can take that same sentence as an excuse from the goals you already set for yourself.

What if getting everything you asked for doesn't actually solve your problems, it just gives you new ones?

In this episode, I break down why chasing the "next level" (the promotion, the relationship, the six-figure salary, the full-time business) won't eliminate your struggles. It just trades your current hard for a different one. I share my own career path from teacher to college counselor to remote work to full-time entrepreneur, and how every "better" situation came with problems I didn't see coming.

In this video:

• Why new goals don't remove problems, they replace them
• My career path from teaching to full-time entrepreneurship
• The real cost of "flexibility" and remote work
• Why you should choose your hard instead of chasing an easy life
• Comparison, desperation, and moving toward vs. running away
• How the Baddie Circle supports you through the hard parts of pursuing goals

What happens when the thing you've always wanted finally happens... but not the way you imagined?

After getting laid off from my corporate job, I suddenly had the one thing I'd spent years wishing for: time. Time to build Be a Better Baddie, focus on my business full-time, and finally pursue the dream I'd been piecemealing.

In this episode, I share what it really feels like to unexpectedly become a full-time entrepreneur, why freedom without structure can become chaos, and the productivity system I'm building to make this next chapter count.

If you've ever said, "If I just had more time..." this episode is for you.

In this video:

• My experience getting laid off
• Starting a business full-time
• Building systems instead of relying on motivation
• Productivity for entrepreneurs
• Goal setting after a major life change
• Why your opportunity may not arrive the way you expect

SMART goals might give you clarity—but they won’t help you follow through. Traditional goal-setting advice often leaves ambitious women overwhelmed, stuck, and restarting the same goals over and over. I'm sharing an alternative (along with a freebie): a simpler, more sustainable system built on scaffolding, weekly planning, and accountability.
