Turning Dirt Into Dollars! Meet Jennifer Gulizia — a woman who took a four-week toe-dip into corporate America, followed by a five-year deep dive into banking, to finally realize that a creative career was her true dream. After building a successful six-figure photography business, Jennifer pivoted once again, this time to flower farming — and she did it all in her own backyard, with cash. No debt, no loans, just a modest (hint the sarcasm) $20,000 investment and a whole lot of grit.

Despite a rocky start, Jennifer turned a quarter-acre lot into a profitable flower farm, fueled by her relentless determination and a commitment to learning. This isn’t just a success story — it’s a story of resilience, reinvention, and the power of building a meaningful, sustainable business. If you're ready for a dose of inspiration, Jennifer’s journey will show you how to turn your passion into profit, no matter the obstacles.

As an entrepreneur, it’s easy to get swept up in the hustle, the late nights, and the constant pressure. Before you know it, you’re scrolling social media at 8 PM because you and your spouse have seemingly run out of things to say or simply numbing out from the exhaustion of it all. Sound familiar?

The reality is, building a business takes a toll—especially on relationships. I’ve been at this entrepreneur thing for the past 13 years, more than 80% of my married life. Today I’m spilling the tea on what it takes to keep the romance alive amidst busy schedules, gymnastics, burning the midnight oil, budgeting talks, and feeling broke… and trust me, a few date nights a year isn’t going to cut it!

From time management hacks that’ll have you scribbling notes faster than your kids can ask for a snack, to productivity tips that actually stick, Bonnie’s giving us the real scoop on what’s worked (and what hasn’t) when it comes to balancing business growth, family life, and everything in between.

Tune in for a real conversation about how to keep it all afloat without losing your cool.

Most small business owners I work with would say they started a business for freedom : freedom of time, creative freedom, financial freedom… yet somewhere along the journey we build business that have us chained to our desk instead of out in the sunshine, stressing over unanswered emails instead of playing with our kiddos, and pinching pennies instead of paying ourselves on autopilot. 

Not to mention, 81% of us are doing it all ourselves. We are the marketing department, the accounting department, the visionary and the workerbee. 

Why does this happen? How did we get here? Why do so many influencers, youtube stars and 8 figure earners burn out despite the “success”. 

Today, I’m unpacking those very questions and sharing my 6-part plan to building a business that’s not only life-giving, but also boosts your bottom line.

Today, we’re doing something totally new: a roundtable discussion with three small business owners, just like you, who are navigating the rollercoaster of growing a business while balancing the rest of life’s demands.

These three women come from different industries, different seasons of life, and different business models. But they all have one thing in common: they are on a mission to build businesses that not only support their dreams but also align with their life values. 

In today’s conversation, we’re diving deep into their journeys—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how they’ve transformed financial fears into financial freedom.

Whether you're deep in the hustle or just starting to dream, this episode is packed with insights, inspiration, and actionable takeaways that will help you build a business that works for you—without losing sight of the things that matter most.
