What do you need to walk away from? Do you need to make a - PIVOT - in your life?

This week, we welcomed Kate Potter back on! (She was on Episode 2, if you recall)

After finding herself at a crossroads during the pandemic, Kate has decided to leave behind coaching. She talks about what it means to pivot, what it means to be a student, and her thoughts and feelings on the coaching and fitness industries. She also opens up about why she’s finishing her degree, what she’s now focusing on in life, and what triggered the shift.

Pivoting isn’t about doing something better or leaving behind something bad. It’s about being resilient and doing something DIFFERENT.

What do you need to let go of? How can being a student catapult you forward?

You can find Kate on social media at @katecoaches, and check out her podcast called On The Upswing!

What do you know about staging a home?

What about starting your own business from the ground up?

In this week's episode, my guest Sherrie and I dive into both!

We also beg the question as to what came first: the chicken or the egg? Through this, we dissect the process of finding inspiration, developing a plan, and expanding a team. We also touch on the educational system, the modern ways of learning, and creating your own path.

So, what was our conclusion? You’ll have to listen to find out!

There is NOTHING cheesy about being a woman in business!

I had the privilege of interviewing Courtney Bowman. If you are from the RDU area, you might be familiar with her cheeseboard company Raleigh Cheesy.

Courtney and I had a candid conversation about what it took to start up a business as a woman. We dive into everything from getting loans, needing to expand, outsourcing for support, and the awful comments that can pop up on the Internet.

Courtney expanded her business like a true pro, and this is not an episode that you want to miss! She is truly a creative, successful woman.

My experience of social media lately has been a combination of heavy (understandably so) and...fake.

Fake attitudes, fake edits, fake lifestyles-- you name it.

If you're like me, I was looking for a dosage of REALNESS.

That was delivered in this episode.

If you're looking for a REAL conversation that talks about your social spheres and who to have at your table, this is for you.
