  • 127. 4 Poisonous Thoughts Stopping Your Business

    You can have the best business strategy in the world, but if your thoughts are working against you, you won't take the action necessary to achieve your goals.

    Many of us moms who are trying to also build a business sometimes find ourselves saying things like, "I don't have enough time," "I don't know what to work on," or "I'm afraid of what people will think."

    But what if those thoughts aren't facts? What if they're the very things keeping you from building the business you feel called to create?

    In this episode, I'm taking you through four common thought patterns that keep women entrepreneurs stuck, using four powerful questions inspired by Byron Katie's work. We'll look at how your thoughts influence your emotions, actions, and ultimately your business results—and how you can start loosening the grip of beliefs that aren't serving you.

    Often the biggest thing standing between you and your business goals isn't another course, strategy, or marketing tactic. It's the way you're thinking.

    In This Episode, You'll Discover:

    • Why business strategy alone isn't enough to create success and why your mindset matters just as much.
    • How your internal operating system—your thoughts, emotions, and actions—shapes your business results.

  • 126. How Being Busy is Your Superpower

    What if being busy is actually one of your biggest superpowers as an entrepreneur?

    In this episode, I’m sharing how a full life can help you become a better business owner, how to prioritize what matters most, and why balance isn’t about doing everything equally. We’ll talk about letting go of perfectionism, making intentional choices, and building a business that supports the life you actually want to live.

    Because the goal isn’t to do less just for the sake of doing less. It’s to build a life you love.

    You don’t need more time to build your business—you need to get clear on what matters most and learn to use your time intentionally. This week, take a look at your calendar and ask yourself: Am I spending my time building the life I want, or just staying busy?

  • 125. 6 Lessons in Failure (and How to Recover)

    Technology fails, launches flop, and things don’t always go according to plan. But failure doesn’t have to shake your confidence or make you question whether it's time to quit.

    In this episode, I’m sharing some of the tech failures I experienced this week and the lessons I’ve learned over the years that help me handle these moments differently. We’ll talk about knowing the value you bring, treating business like a science experiment, and learning to see failure as information rather than a verdict on your worth.

    If you’ve ever wondered whether there's something wrong with you because something didn’t work, this episode is for you!

    In this episode, we’ll talk about:

    • Why knowing the value you offer makes failure less personal
    • How working with clients builds confidence
    • Treating business as a science experiment, not a character evaluation
    • Separating what happened from the story you tell yourself
    • Learning to troubleshoot, adapt, and keep moving forward

    Remember: Failure is information, not a verdict.

  • 124. What To STOP Doing In Your Business

    Are you working hard on your coaching business but still not seeing the results you want? You might not need to do more—you might need to stop doing the things that aren't actually moving your business forward.

    In this episode, I’m sharing the simple three-step customer journey I use to evaluate almost everything I do in my business:

    1. Find leads

    2. Nurture them

    3. Sell to them

    We’ll look at some of the common tasks coaches spend way too much time on—from endlessly creating content and perfecting their websites to constantly learning and building things their audience never asked for.

    If you've been building your coaching business for months (or even years) but aren't consistently getting clients, this is your invitation to take a hard look at where your time is actually going.

    You don't need more things on your to-do list. You need to know what deserves to stay on it.

  • 123. Your Business Is Changing You (And That’s the Point)

    Building a business isn’t just about making money—it’s about who you become along the way.

    In this episode, I’m talking about the ways entrepreneurship has changed me and my clients: building confidence, developing resilience, becoming more resourceful, strengthening our faith, and learning to keep going when things don’t go as planned (plus so much more!).

    I also share why I think it’s so important to stop getting stuck inside our own heads and start looking outward at the people who need what we have to offer.

    Your business may not be growing exactly the way you expected—but that doesn’t mean God isn’t working. Sometimes the growth we can’t measure is the growth that matters most.

  • 122. Why You Feel the Need to Work (Even When You Don't Have To)

    Why do so many of us feel like we NEED to work, create, accomplish, and contribute—even when our basic needs are already met?

    Our ancestors spent most of their days doing physically demanding work simply to survive. Today, modern conveniences have removed much of that work from our lives.

    And we can be VERY grateful for modern conveniences, while also sometimes wondering what we lose when our lives no longer require quite as much from us.

    Human beings were made to create, contribute, solve problems, develop skills, and grow.

    And that's one reason building a business can be such a meaningful pursuit—especially for women who feel called to entrepreneurship but don't necessarily need the money.

    In this episode, I'm talking about our human need for meaningful work, why comfort doesn't always equal fulfillment, and why your desire to build something might actually be connected to God's desire for you to grow and expand your capacity.

    I'll also share some of my own experience building an online business and why I'm so grateful for the ways it has stretched me, challenged me, and helped me become someone I couldn't have become by simply staying comfortable.

    If you've been feeling a persistent desire to create, contribute, build, or do something beyond what is currently required of you, I hope this conversation helps you look at that desire a little differently.

    Maybe it's not selfish or a distraction. Maybe it's an invitation.

  • 121. Do Less, Not More: How to Slow Down Without Giving Up on Your Goals

    What if you don't actually need to do more?

    I've spent most of my life moving fast. Even now, well into my 40s, I still find myself tempted to measure my worth by how much I can accomplish in a day.

    But lately, I've been asking myself some uncomfortable questions:

    Why do I feel the need to be busy all the time?

    Why is it so hard for me to rest?

    Why does productivity make me feel valuable?

    And most importantly, is all this doing actually helping me become the woman God wants me to be?

    In this episode, I'm talking about what I'm learning about slowing down, living more intentionally, and finding contentment while still having big goals.

    I'll share the concept from "The Gap and The Gain" that completely changed how I look at achievement, what I've been learning from the scriptures about being still, and the surprising lesson my husband and I learned when we took a vacation with almost nothing on the agenda.

    I don't think the answer is to stop having goals or stop working toward the things that matter to us. But I do wonder if we can pursue growth without constantly being dissatisfied with where we are.

    Maybe we can build businesses, raise families, serve God, pursue meaningful goals—and still learn how to slow down.

    Maybe the goal isn't simply to DO more. Maybe it's to BECOME more.

    If you're a Christian woman who sometimes feels like you're constantly trying to catch up, accomplish more, improve yourself, grow your business, or become the person you think you "should" be, I hope this conversation gives you permission to take a breath and appreciate where you are right now.

  • 120. How to Build an Email List (4 Simple Steps)

    ➡️ ➡️ Join my Email List Challenge! If you're ready to stop putting off your email list and actually get it set up, join me for my List-Building Launchpad Challenge. We'll walk through the process step by step—from creating your freebie to choosing your email software, building your landing page, and connecting it all together:

    Are you a life coach trying to figure out how to build an email list—but feeling overwhelmed by all the moving pieces?

    You know you probably need a freebie. You know you need an email list. But then you start wondering: What should my freebie be? What email software should I use? How do I create a landing page? And how do I connect everything so it actually works?

    In this episode, I'm breaking down the simple steps to building an email list for your coaching business.

    We'll talk about how to:

    ✨ Create a freebie your ideal clients actually want

    ✨ Choose an email marketing platform

    ✨ Build a landing page to collect subscribers

    ✨ Connect your freebie, landing page, and email software

    ✨ Start building relationships with potential coaching clients

    Building an email list was a major turning point in my own online business. Instead of relying completely on scattered traffic, social media algorithms, and hoping the right people would see my offers, I began building an audience I could continue to serve and connect with. And the good news? You don't need a complicated funnel, a perfect website, or thousands of followers to get started.

  • 118. How to Create a Coaching Program People Actually Want to Buy

    Get my free mini training on how to land your first five clients here.

    In this video, I explain how you can stop spending months building a program before signing clients by treating a coaching offer like a road trip: choose a clear destination , map the route with milestones as a coaching framework, then decide only the simplest delivery tools needed without creating unnecessary work for you and your clients.

    I teach you how and why clients buy the transformation, not Zoom calls or worksheets, and teach you pricing strategies based on the value of your client's results rather than hours, fear, or competitors.

    Then I teach you how to name your program for the transformation and then deliver it, gaining feedback, and continuing to repeat instead of waiting for perfection. Now let's go get some clients!
