Do you feel like you're constantly doing the same tasks over and over in your business, and wondering if there's a better way? There is! In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how to audit your business and discover where your time and energy is draining, and how to start handing those tasks off to automations and AI tools. You don't even need to be super tech savvy!

• Why you no longer need a full team to run a thriving coaching business
• The three-bucket Energy Audit framework for finding your biggest time leaks

Have you ever told someone the truth and watched it all go downhill? Or stayed quiet to keep the peace... and then regretted it later? That tension between honesty and kindness is woven into so much of our earthly experience and in this episode, we're digging into why and how it's possible to hold truth and love at the same time.

I'm exploring the dichotomy between truth and love, and why choosing one over the other leaves something important to be desired. Truth without love becomes a weapon and love without truth becomes a comfortable lie. The goal isn't to pick a side but rather to learn how to weave them both together.

This tension shows up everywhere: in our closest relationships, in our parenting, and in our businesses. We look at what scripture teaches us about delivering hard things well, including Ephesians 4:15, 2 Nephi 2:11, Jacob's powerful example of truth delivered with a broken heart, and the practical blueprint laid out in D&C 121:41-43.

In this episode:

• Why truth without love does more harm than good, even when you're right
• Why conflict-avoidance isn't kindness, it's delayed harm
• What Jacob's example in the Book of Mormon teaches us about hard conversations
• The four principles for holding truth and love at the same time
• How this shows up in coaching, parenting, and everyday relationships

Have you been feeling a quiet pull toward building a side business of your own? Or maybe feeling persistent inspiration that you can't quite explain or shake?

In this episode, I'll explain why this feeling is not random and the timing of it is no accident. I'm talking about how the last 50 years (and especially the last decade) have created a window of opportunity for women that has never existed before, and why women of faith are uniquely positioned to take advantage of it.

I'm sharing my own story of not getting into PA school after my first baby was born, and how that unexpected detour led me to exactly where I was always meant to be. I'm also walking through the two types of women who are feeling this calling right now and why both of them have exactly what it takes to build something inspired and impactful.

If you've ever wondered whether your desire to build a business fits with your faith and your family, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why the rise of online business has changed everything for women
• The two kinds of women feeling called to be business owners right now and why both are perfect for this opportunity
• How your God-given gifts translate directly into business
• Why this season of history is a window you don't want to miss

What does your business do when you can't show up? This week I wrote this podcast outline from my sick bed... and my business is still running. Emails are going out, leads are coming in, and content is getting created in minutes with AI. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly how that's possible and how you can build the same kind of structure in your own coaching business.

It comes down to three steps I call The Client Path: a simple framework that keeps your business moving whether you're at full capacity or completely out of commission. If you've been feeling like you have to hustle every single day just to keep things alive, this episode will show you what's actually missing and what to do about it.

IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why hustle is a symptom of a structure problem
• The three steps of The Client Path: Find, Nurture, and Convert
• How to know which step is the weakest in your business right now
• Why your email list is the engine of your business (and what to do if you haven't started building one yet)
• The "sick day test" and how to know if your business would pass it
• How AI tools can dramatically reduce the time and energy it takes to keep your content moving

And the process of putting it out into the world taught me more about fear, faith, and the primitive brain than almost anything else I've done in my business.

In this episode I'm sharing the behind-the-scenes story of writing and publishing Burning Brightly: Answering God's Call to Build a Business as a Latter-day Saint Woman including the moment that activated my nervous system more than anything I've anticipated. Spoiler: it was a simple email to my friends.

We're talking about what it actually feels like to do something divinely inspired and scary, why the "I might throw up" feeling is not a stop sign, and how to tell the difference between spiritual hesitation and your primitive brain doing its everyday job.

If you're standing at the edge of something overwhelming and terrifying, this one is for you.

In this episode:

• Why publishing felt more vulnerable than anything I've done in years
• What the primitive brain does when we try to do something meaningful
• How to tell the difference between a spiritual prompting to stop and just plain fear
• Why divine callings almost never feel comfortable
• The question to ask yourself before the scary thing

I'm getting vulnerable today about my recent launch of the Burning Brightly Business Studio — the excitement, the silence, the Wednesday spiral, and what I did on Friday that turned it all around. If you've ever wanted to quit right before something was about to work, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• Why almost every launch has a "Wednesday" — and what it means
• The Valley of Despair and why it's not a verdict on your business
• What my brain told her when the sign-ups weren't coming (and why it was wrong)
• The three things that helped me get back up and finish strong
• Why the coaches who succeed aren't the ones who never struggle

For years, the only way to work with me was one-on-one private coaching. It was amazing... but expensive, limited, and I could only help a handful of coaches each year. In this episode, I'm finally talking about what I've been building, why I built it, and why this might be the best opportunity for your business!

If you've ever felt like you're stuck between "I can't afford high-ticket coaching" and "I'm getting lost in a giant group program," this episode is for you. You'll learn the personal story behind The Studio — a small, intimate monthly membership designed to get coaches and course creators to their first $5-10k — and why the founding member window closing Friday is one you don't want to miss.

In this episode:

• The quiet frustration I had for years about who I couldn't help
• Why I built The Studio and what makes it different from every other group program
• What founding members get that no one else ever will
• Why doors close Friday April 3rd at 6pm PT (9pm ET)
• Why founding members get $49/month locked in for life

If you're a newer coach who's been busy building funnels, perfecting your website, and setting up tech, but you still don't have clients yet, this episode is for you.

In this episode:

• The 4 biggest myths new coaches believe about what they need to get started
• Why your first clients are closer than you think
• The simple Clarity → Connection → Conversion framework
• Why I still believe in systems and exactly when to build them

If you're a mom with a business, spring break just hits differently. The kids are home, your to-do list didn't shrink, and you're trying to be fully present in two places at once — which means you end up fully present in neither.

In this episode, I'm talking about why the real struggle isn't a time management problem — it's a mental location problem. Divided attention drains you faster than a full schedule ever could. And the fix isn't doing less, it's learning to be actually, fully present, no matter where you are.

I'm sharing three practical shifts for LDS women and Christian moms who are building businesses and raising families — and refusing to believe those two things have to be in conflict.

In this episode:

1. Why presence isn't about how many hours you give — it's about where your mind is
2. The simple Sunday ritual that helped me work without guilt this week
3. How to schedule presence so you stop hoping for it and start protecting it
4. A "crossing the threshold" ritual that helps your brain switch modes
5. Why you should stop measuring your motherhood in hours
