In this Three Thoughts for Thursday episode, I’m talking about the hidden stop signs that quietly kill momentum in your business. Not the obvious stuff, but the habits that look responsible, smart, or strategic on the surface.

We’ll unpack why perfection is a terrible pacing strategy, how over preparing can keep you from ever starting, and why waiting for clarity often guarantees you never move at all. If you’ve been circling the same ideas, projects, or goals wondering why nothing is clicking yet, this episode is your gentle but firm nudge to shift gears.

This isn’t about rushing or being reckless. It’s about choosing excellence over perfection, evolution over over engineering, and movement over mental gridlock. Let’s get you back on the road.

Change isn’t hard because you lack discipline. It’s hard because you’re trying to make one part of your mind do the job of another.

In this episode, I walk you through the three minds that are quietly running your business and your life: the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the collective mind. Each one plays a very different role in how habits form, why resolutions fail, and what actually creates sustainable change. If you’ve ever said “I know better, but I still do it,” felt guilt when resting, struggled with consistency, or wondered why good intentions don’t turn into lasting habits, this episode will help you see what’s really happening beneath the surface.

We’ll explore:

• Why willpower is a short-term strategy

• How habits are born from solutions, not failures

• The unseen influence of culture, family, and industry norms

• Why resistance is information, not defiance

• How to create change that works with your nervous system instead of against it

This is not therapy or psychological advice. It’s a powerful reframe to help you work smarter, kinder, and more effectively with your own internal system.

In this Three Thoughts for Thursday episode, I’m inviting you to look at habits in your business through a very different lens. Habits, even the ones we label as “bad,” are not failures of discipline. They’re strategies. They’re solutions your system created to solve a problem, reduce friction, or conserve energy.

We’ll explore why habits form in the first place, why removing a habit without replacing its function often creates backlash, and why your subconscious mind doesn’t care whether a habit is good or bad. It only cares if it’s familiar, predictable, and efficient.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop with a habit that “should be gone by now,” this episode offers a compassionate and practical reframe. Change doesn’t come from force. It comes from understanding what problem the habit is actually solving and creating a safer, more sustainable alternative.

It’s the first Monday of the year, and everywhere you look people are talking about vision boards, intentions, and resolutions.

But what if the reason your vision hasn’t fully landed before isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s a mismatch in how you’re trying to create change?

In this episode, I pull from my hypnosis training to explore how your primary sensory modality — visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, gustatory, or auditory-digital — plays a powerful role in making vision work feel real, embodied, and sustainable.

We’ll talk about how to write and “try on” a vision, how vision boards can go far beyond images, and how to build tiny micro-habits that speak directly to how you process the world. When your vision aligns with your natural wiring, momentum stops being forced — and starts feeling inevitable.

This episode is an invitation to stop copying how everyone else does vision work and start creating in a way that actually supports the life you want to live.

What if your marketing didn’t require constant hustle, shiny objects, or nervous-system overload?

In this Make It Happen Monday episode, I’m sharing the simple marketing habit I’ve used for years to steadily grow my business without burning out. It’s a 30-minute daily practice that helps you focus your time and energy where it actually impacts your bottom line instead of scattering it across endless “shoulds.”

I walk you through a clear hierarchy for your marketing attention, starting with the people who already trust you and moving outward from there. We also talk about why chasing new customers alone is exhausting, how to work your network without feeling salesy, and how a short weekly “digital marketing happy half hour” can turn your analytics into useful guidance instead of intimidating noise.

This episode is especially for service-based entrepreneurs who want consistency, sustainability, and results without sacrificing their sanity. If you’re heading into a new year craving clarity instead of chaos, this one will meet you right where you are.

Happy New Year, friend.

In this first Three Thoughts for Thursday of 2026, I want to slow the moment down just enough for us to get oriented — before we rush into resolutions, intentions, or plans for the year ahead.

January carries a lot of cultural pressure to decide everything at once, but orientation comes first. In this episode, I share three simple thoughts about why grounding yourself in where you are right now creates far more clarity, confidence, and momentum than jumping straight into goal-setting.

We’ll talk about why resolutions tend to fade, how orientation meets you where you actually are, and why listening — not over-planning — is what builds self-trust as the year begins.

This episode is an invitation to put your feet on the ground, notice what’s around you, and let the next right steps reveal themselves naturally.

As the year comes to a close, I always find myself in that strange, powerful space between Christmas and New Year’s — a true liminal moment. It’s not quite an ending, and not quite a beginning. And it’s not a time I believe is meant for pressure, resolutions, or forcing clarity.

In this final episode of 2025, I’m sharing temperament-aligned ways to close out the year with intention and care, rather than rushing straight into planning or goal-setting. We’ve spent the month talking about temperament and how it shows up in your business, and here I offer simple practices you can use to cross the threshold from one year into the next in a way that actually supports your nervous system.

I talk about honoring the transition between personal and professional space, creating small rituals of meaning and clarity, opening possibility through curiosity and enchantment, and even using strategic play to re-envision your business for the year ahead. I also share two end-of-year practices — one symbolic and one very practical — that help you release mental clutter and reclaim your attention.

This episode isn’t about reinventing yourself for the new year. It’s about orientation. It’s about letting your system settle, listening for direction, and crossing into 2026 with clarity, presence, and self-trust.

AI is everywhere right now. And while it can be an incredible support in your business, it can also quietly pull you off track if you’re not paying attention.

In this episode of Three Thoughts for Thursday, I’m sharing three specific ways AI can genuinely support the way you naturally work—without overwhelming you or hijacking your focus.

We’ll explore how AI can act as support by adapting to your working style, how it can help fuel momentum when getting started feels hard, and how it can become a rescue tool when overwhelm, overthinking, or shutdown sneak in.

I also share a few honest cautions about rabbit holes, distraction, and why AI needs direction just as much as you do.

This isn’t about outsourcing your thinking. It’s about using AI as a quiet backbone—one that works with you, not against you.

In this episode of Be More Business, I sit down with photographer and marketing strategist Betsy Bird to dig into a powerful truth: your business systems should match your temperament — not fight it.

Whether you’re structured, spontaneous, meaning-driven, strategic, neurotypical, or gloriously neurospicy, you deserve workflows that stop draining you and start fueling you. And right now, AI is one of the best tools to help you create systems that adapt to how your brain naturally works.

Together, Betsy and I explore:

✨ Why structure liberates some of us and suffocates others

✨ How automation frees both structured and nonlinear thinkers

✨ Ways AI can act as a COO, a creative partner, or a detail-clean-up crew

✨ Why training AI with your voice and your brand matters

✨ What AI can do beautifully — and where humans absolutely must stay in charge

If you’ve ever thought “I just need systems,” or “I can’t stick with systems,” this conversation is going to feel like a deep exhale.

And… we make a little announcement about the revival of The Business Animal podcast. 👀

Listen in and start creating a business that supports the life you want to live — not the other way around.

In this episode of Three Thoughts for Thursday, I invite you to rethink time as more than a scheduling problem. Time is not just something you manage, it’s something you experience.

Instead of starting with business goals, I share why I always begin with one deeper question: how do you actually want to spend your time?

We explore three essential layers of time, your year, your month, and your day, and how understanding their natural rhythm can shift you out of force and into flow. From seasonal work cycles to daily creative energy, this episode is about designing a business that supports the life you want to live, not one that consumes it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re busy but not nourished, productive but depleted, this conversation will help you reconnect with your own time sovereignty and create more space, energy, and ease in your business and your life.
