Gab Sessions with Stephanie Marie

Be my guest — text me!

There are 12 days until Christmas, and instead of adding more to the list or pushing harder, today’s episode is an invitation to slow down and choose one intentional way of being.

In this Saturday reflection, we talk about:

✨ Why the original 12 Days of Christmas were never meant to be rushed
✨ How modern culture turned the season into pressure instead of presence
✨ What it means to finish the 90-Day CEO Sprint without burnout
✨ Why daily podcasting was a season — and what’s shifting next
✨ How choosing one way of being can create more clarity than a full to-do list

Historically, the 12 Days of Christmas were a celebration after Christmas — a time for rest, reflection, generosity, and togetherness. Somewhere along the way, we flipped that idea and turned December into a sprint.

This episode is your permission slip to do it differently.

Instead of 12 things to do, choose one way of being today:
• Gentleness
• Presence
• Ease
• Completion
• Reflection

Let it guide how you move.
Let it be enough.

As we close the year and this season of daily podcasting, this episode is a reminder that growth doesn’t always come from doing more — sometimes it comes from honoring the season you’re in.

Reflection for you:
What’s the one way of being you’re choosing today?

It’s Friday, December 12th — and with 13 days until Christmas, we are officially in the final stretch of the year and the last phase of our 90-Day CEO Sprint.

Today’s episode is a cozy Friday wrap-up — part reflection, part Q&A, and part permission slip to slow the pace while still finishing well.

In this episode, we talk about:

✨ Why it’s normal to feel like you “didn’t do enough” in December
✨ How to stay focused when your energy is shifting toward the holidays
✨ What actually matters in the final stretch of a 90-day sprint
✨ Why slowing down right now is not a failure — it’s wisdom
✨ How to balance business responsibilities with wanting to enjoy Christmas
✨ Simple actions to mentally close the week and enjoy the weekend

This isn’t about pushing harder.
It’s about closing loops, protecting your energy, and choosing presence as we move closer to Christmas.

Your Friday Actions:
• Name three things you moved forward this week
• Choose one main focus for next week
• Identify one thing you’re intentionally slowing down
• Pick one holiday moment you’re protecting
• Release what can wait until Monday

If you’re looking for support, structure, or community as you finish the year, you’re always welcome inside Business Growth Society.

Before we head into the weekend, we’re having a real CEO conversation — because the final 29 days of the year matter more than most people realize. December isn’t a throwaway month. It’s a bridge. And how you move through this bridge season directly shapes your January.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the three shifts every business needs to make before the new year — especially if you’re building, launching, or pivoting in 2025. These are the exact shifts I teach inside Business Growth Society VIP and the same ones I walk my clients through when they’re ready to step into deeper clarity and stronger momentum.

Inside this episode, we explore:

• Why simplicity is the strategy
• How to define or refine your offer without overwhelm
• Why your content rhythm must match your real-life capacity
• How micro-momentum keeps you moving without burning out
• Why alignment matters more than hustle
• The truth about building a business that supports your life
• How to use the next 29 days with intention
• What actually creates clarity in a transition season

This is a grounded, practical roadmap for anyone wanting to start the new year with focus instead of pressure. It’s not about doing more — it’s about doing the right things.

If you’re ready for the support, structure, and strategic clarity to build, launch, or pivot your business in the new year, Business Growth Society VIP is open. And for December only, new VIP members receive a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one strategy session with me. It’s not a discount — it’s a true bonus, and spots are limited because my time is limited.

To join, go to skool dot com and search “Business Growth Society.”

We’re walking this bridge season with clarity, consistency, and calm momentum. Let’s set up your new year with intention.

Today marks a huge milestone — Episode 106.
That’s 106 days of recording.
106 days of staying consistent.
106 days of clarity, commitment, and showing up even when life was full.

In this episode, I’m sharing why I decided to record a podcast every single day, what this practice taught me as a CEO and a creator, and what’s shifting in the new year as we transition into a twice-weekly format with bonus episodes when it feels aligned.

And because it’s Wednesday, we’re also focusing on wins — the real ones.
The quiet ones.
The ones that actually matter.

We talk about:

• The unexpected lessons from recording 106 days in a row
• What daily podcasting revealed about clarity, consistency, and capacity
• The wins you might be overlooking in your own life and business
• How to honor this bridge season between now and the new year
• What needs to be done before Christmas and before 2025 arrives
• How to blend business + life without burning out
• Why the next 29 days matter more than you think
• And my favorite “if you’re overwhelmed, do this” reset ritual

We have 29 days left in the year.
19 days until Christmas.
25 days until the New Year.

This is the time to be intentional — not pressured.
Aligned — not overwhelmed.
Clear — not chaotic.

And if you want grounded support, structure, and clarity for this bridge season, come join me inside Business Growth Society VIP. For December only, new VIP members receive a complimentary 30-minute one-on-one strategy session with me. It’s not a discount — it’s a true bonus, and spots are limited because my time is limited.

This is the episode that almost didn’t happen — the one fueled by cold medicine, holiday overwhelm, and the reality of being a solopreneur during the busiest season of the year.

In today’s episode of Gab Sessions, Stephanie shares the behind-the-scenes of episode 105 and why she almost skipped recording… and why she showed up anyway.

Inside this real-talk episode, you’ll hear:

✨ What it’s actually like to run a business when your brain is tired
✨ The solopreneur paradox: no sick days, but total freedom
✨ A simple CRM truth that saves time, money, and sanity
✨ The mental negotiation that happens when you want to quit
✨ A holiday check-in: days left until Christmas + the end of the year
✨ Why consistency doesn’t always look glamorous
✨ How to keep momentum when you really want to slow down

Plus — a grounded reminder that sometimes the hardest part is simply hitting record.

Tech Tip:
Start with the simplest CRM you’ll actually use. Complexity is NOT a strategy.

Today’s episode is coming to you a little later because this Saturday wasn’t about business at all — it was all errands, tasks, returns, and real-life loops we all run on the weekends.

In this short and honest episode, I’m sharing the full saga of my strategically planned “errand loop,” including:

✨ Mapping out my stops like a suburban NASCAR circuit
✨ Hitting the gym, Costco, Home Depot, the grocery store… and still somehow surviving
✨ Searching for glass ornaments (and realizing the universe said not today)
✨ Returning a dress that made me look like I was ready to play linebacker
✨ Getting 95% of my list done and claiming it as a win
✨ Ending the night with cozy clothes, a sleepy drink, Christmas lights, and the Hallmark channel

This isn’t strategy or business advice — just a real Saturday in the messy middle of life, where we do what needs to be done and then give ourselves permission to rest.

Whether your Saturday was chaotic, peaceful, productive, or somewhere in between… you’re in good company.

Some days aren’t about productivity or checking boxes.
Some days are about memories, traditions, and the kind of magic you don’t even realize you need — and tonight was one of those days.

In this episode, I share why today’s podcast didn’t drop in the morning, what it felt like to take my daughter and grandson to a local production of The Nutcracker, and how powerful it was to experience it through my grandson’s eyes. It was his first time… and in many ways, it felt like my first time all over again.

It was also a tender, emotional night — remembering my sweet grandson who is now in heaven, feeling his spirit with us, and honoring the small traditions that have carried my family through the years.

Tonight, there are no questions.
No business strategies.
No Q&A.
Just a moment to pause, breathe, and be human.

Inside this episode:

✨ A very real Friday where life happened
✨ The magic of sharing traditions with the next generation
✨ Remembering a loved one with softness and presence
✨ Choosing connection over hustle
✨ An invitation to share your holiday traditions with me

Question for you:
What’s one of your family holiday traditions?
Share it inside BGS or send me a message — I would love to hear it.

Today we’re tackling the one thing that somehow grows overnight like it’s watering itself: the never-ending to-do list.

But we’re not tackling it with hustle or perfectionism.
We’re doing it with clarity, calm momentum, and a simple rhythm that actually works.

Inside Business Growth Society (including the free tier!) I uploaded a brand-new Action Items Sheet — the same one I walk through in this episode. It helps you list everything on your plate, then choose your Top 3 daily priorities so you can make progress without the chaos.

In this episode, we dive into:

✨ Why traditional to-do lists don’t work
✨ How the BGS Action Items Sheet simplifies everything
✨ The psychology behind writing things down (hello dopamine + Zeigarnik Effect)
✨ Why crossing things off is genuinely therapeutic
✨ How to create multiple sheets for business, family, personal, holidays, and more
✨ What to do when you’re overwhelmed and need to pause + reset
✨ How to create clarity and consistency without burning out

If you haven’t grabbed your Action Items sheet yet, it’s available inside the Business Growth Society Free Group — and all paid BGS tiers.

Today is a milestone episode — Episode 100 of Gab Sessions.
One hundred days of recording.
One hundred days of clarity.
One hundred days of showing up, even when life was full, messy, or unpredictable.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real reason I chose to record every single day — not for the algorithm, not for perfection, but for the rhythm, clarity, and grounded consistency it created for me as a CEO, a strategist, a creator, and a human.

And even though we’re celebrating today, we’re also very aware that we have twenty-nine days left until the end of the year — twenty-nine days in this bridge season between what this year has held and what January is going to require from us.

We’re talking about:

• Why I committed to recording 100 days in a row
• What daily podcasting actually taught me
• How this rhythm brought clarity I didn’t know I needed
• What’s shifting in the new year (hello, 2 episodes a week + bonus drops)
• The importance of celebrating quiet wins in business and life
• How to honor your energy as the holidays settle in
• What these final 29 days are really for
• A simple reset ritual if everything feels overwhelming

And if you’re feeling stretched, stressed, or pulled in too many directions — I share the exact pause-and-reset moment I use when I need to breathe, recalibrate, and feel human again. Sometimes that looks like soft clothes, a blanket, a warm drink, and watching “The Holiday” on repeat. No shame. Full permission.

If you want clarity, structure, and support while you move through this bridge season, come join us inside Business Growth Society VIP. For December only, new VIP members receive a complimentary 30-minute 1:1 strategy call with me. It’s not a discount — it’s a real bonus, and spots are limited because my time is limited.
