For those of you who don't know my twin sister and our friend Nicole took our moms to the caymans for a week for a mother daughter trip. I wanted to share a story from that trip that resonates hard with what we talk about here and the lesson we can all walk away with. Remember: You are your daddy.

As I mentor more and more entrepreneurs with a company called Impact Fitness Coaching Academy, the topic of burnout comes up a lot. I'm gonna be honest: entrepreneurship never stops. It is the nature of the beast. I ask you one simple question: what are you doing in your life that is hard? This is the key. Doing hard shit will give you a different perspective. Listen in as I explain more!

50% of marriages end in divorce and 70% of them are initiated by the woman. You don't think having financial independence is a necessity? I was recently watching a scene from the White Lotus and I had to share it on this week's episode because it's so important to understand. Your independence is your power, nothing else.

I've got THE OG bad bitch online fitness coach Erin Dimond joining me today and man, I and this whole industry owe a debt of gratitude to Erin. Erin showed us what was possible in the space making 500k in one year by herself without a team. While she wouldn't do that again after what she knows now, it shows the capability and capacity of an individual. Since then, she's gone on to sell that particular fitness coaching company (a rarity in this space) and now runs a multi-7 figure business coaching company with her husband Jordan and is also a new mom to Jaxson.

There were so many rabbit holes we could have gone down but most of our discussion falls around the entrepreneurial journey, going through a divorce as Erin was previously married before meeting Jordan, advice for mom's who want to kick ass, and more!

I already know the haters are coming for me for this one. Before you jump down my throat about how money doesn't buy happiness, listen to the entire episode and question your beliefs and societal programming. There's a myth about income I need to destroy and today's episode is a step in the right direction to doing that. I'll explain why life is better with more money, why we need to question where the 75k a year happiness myth came from, and what you can do going forward.

Continuing my biggest money mistakes series, I want to talk about some of the biggest mistakes I made in business. There's a lot here to learn from whether you want to be a business owner or not. I waited far too long, undercharged for my services, overpaid my team (which sounds bad but listen to the episode), was generating 30k a month in revenue and was going negative, asked the wrong people for advice, and more. Learn from my mistakes and if you enjoyed this series, please share it with someone who would benefit from it too!

What is feminism? What is the patriarchy? Why do we have a passion for poking holes in the patriarchy? My twin sister Christa (who will suspiciously sounds like me) is joining me on her first podcast episode to discuss this important topic. This isn't meant to be an episode of the "bashing men haters club" but to call out what we see as truth in our society.

I am excited to share a story with you today as I know it is going to not only open your eyes to your money mindset as a woman but provide a different perspective you may never have considered on your journey to Daddy status.

I want to remind ya'll that from a mindset perspective when it comes to money or really anything that involves self worth, mine used to be shit. I think back to sooo many times I thought fell for social constructs unknowingly and I fucking cringe today. And I share that because it is really easy to listen to podcasts like this…and feel so far from where you want to be. Maybe you have listened to a few episodes and have already gone… fuck i am making so many mistakes. GIRL. It is OK…so did I!

I'm going to share a story back in 2020 when I bought my house and didn't tell anyone out of fear, the mentality of money between men vs women, how to take control of life, and more!
