Go Get Great

Creating content shouldn't take hours every single time you sit down to do it—but if it does, you're not alone. In this week's episode of Go Get Great, I'm breaking down three key reasons why creating content takes you longer than it should—and how to fix them so content creation finally feels easy.

Whether you're a small business owner, content creator, or service provider, your time is valuable. And I want you to stop wasting it trying to figure out what to post or wondering why your content isn't converting.

Here's the truth: if you're not clear on your messaging or what you actually do, every post will feel like starting from scratch. Without a strong brand identity or visuals that represent your business, you'll spend more time second-guessing than creating. And if you don't have content pillars (aka the core post types that drive your sales), you'll keep posting just to fill space—without results.

Plus, I'm diving into one of the biggest traps I see business owners fall into: chasing Instagram trends that don't actually align with their goals or audience. Just because something works for someone else doesn't mean it's right for your brand.

By the end of this episode, you'll have the clarity to create a content plan that saves you time, keeps you consistent, and actually grows your business.

If you've ever wondered why creating content feels harder than it should, grab your notebook—because we're simplifying the process and getting you back to strategy that works.

🎧 Tune in to episode 105 of Go Get Great to discover how to create smarter, not harder—and finally make content creation feel effortless.

Every birth story is different — and this one is mine.

In this episode of Go Get Great, I'm taking you behind the scenes for the birth of baby #5. As a mom of five, I kind of have this whole labour and delivery thing down to a science. Every child and birth story is different but there are things you can do to make your birth experience easier. I share my tips for getting ready to meet baby and what to do after they're here.

We'll talk about what surprised me this time around, how my mindset has shifted with each baby, and what postpartum recovery really feels like — physically, mentally, and emotionally. If you've ever found yourself comparing your journey to someone else's, this episode is a reminder that no two birth stories look the same… and that's okay.

Whether you're a first-time mama or a seasoned parent, you'll hear honest reflections, laughter, and probably a few tears as I share what it's like balancing newborn life, recovery, and motherhood as a Canadian mom running a business.

If you love raw, real conversations about motherhood, postpartum recovery, and the incredible strength women carry through every season — this one's for you.

Choosing a name for your little one is no small task, and in this episode, Gray and I are keeping it real as we brainstorm names for baby #5! From boy names that make us pause to girl names that had us swooning (and second-guessing), we're sharing our favorites, runner-ups, and the top picks that have made it onto our shortlists.

We also dive into some fun, unexpected inspiration, like street and city names that caught our eye. Whether you're in the midst of naming a baby yourself or just love hearing the thought process behind baby name debates, this episode is packed with laughter, reflection, and honest conversation about what makes a name feel right.

By the end, we reveal our top 5 names for boys and girls and talk about why these names resonate with us — from sound and meaning to family connections and just how they feel when you say them out loud. We even chat about how opinions change over time and why naming a baby is as much about gut feeling as it is about strategy.

If you've ever spent hours scrolling baby name lists, debated potential nicknames, or questioned whether a name truly fits your future child, you're not alone — and this episode is your front-row seat to the process. Join us for a personal, relatable, and sometimes hilarious conversation about finding the perfect name for the newest member of our family.

Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and get ready to hear our top picks — and maybe get inspired for your own naming journey!

Ever wonder what your partner is really thinking—but in a fun, heart-centered, connection-building way? In this week's episode of the Go Get Great podcast, I sat down with my husband for a real, raw, and sometimes hilarious chat where we asked each other a series of couples questions that went way beyond the surface.

From questions to ask your man like "What do you love most about our life together?" to deeper conversations around communication, appreciation, and our dreams for the future—we covered it all. Whether you're looking for couples questions fun enough for a cozy date night or questions to ask your partner that bring out meaningful reflections, this episode is packed with prompts you'll want to borrow.

We also share some honest behind-the-scenes moments from our relationship, how we navigate parenting and partnership, and what we're working on together to make our time feel more intentional. If you've ever wanted to hear a real couple talk about real things—with laughter, awkward pauses, and love at the center—this one's for you.

Plus, we're talking favorite memories, things we wish we did more often, and what it takes to keep showing up for your relationship while building a family and a business.

Whether you're just starting out in a relationship or have been with your person for years, these questions can help you reconnect, understand each other more deeply, and maybe even spark some of your own conversations this week.

Tune in now and grab some of these couples questions for your next walk, coffee date, or road trip.

Have you ever stoped to think that you're were just one decision away from completely different life or business?

Inspired by the powerful read One Decision Away by Amanda Wilson-Ciocci and serveral other Candian, female entreprenurs and co-authors, I'm sharing my 'one decision' moments.

We're talking about the big moments—the ones that feel risky, get questioned by others (hi, parents 👋), but deep downfeel right. From launching my first blog to quitting my 9–5 and growing Brittany Miller Socials, every pivotal move started with trusting one decision. And now? We've made another one. I explain why we're choosing a slower lifestyle, the financial strategy behind it, and what it means for our family and business dreams.

Plus, I share my current must-reads when it comes to entrepreneurship books and personal development reads that have played a massive role in shaping my life, motherhood, and business journey. In this episode I'm mentioniong some of my favourite reads in 2025 including One Decision Away, and The Let Them Theory by Mel Robins. These aren't just good reads—they're fuel for transformation.

I can't believe we made it to episode 100 of the Go Get Great podcast! In true milestone fashion, we're doing something totally different—and honestly, super fun. This week, you're not just getting a behind-the-scenes look… you're getting a ChatGPT interview with me!

Yep, I handed the mic over to AI (kind of) and let ChatGPT prompt me with questions I might not have asked myself—everything from why I started the podcast to what I've learned, what's surprised me the most, and how I've changed since episode one.

We talk about:

• My original motivation for starting the podcast (and how that's shifted)

• The hardest parts of showing up consistently

• The episode that meant the most to me

• What I wish more people knew about podcasting

• The surprising feedback that's stuck with me

• Business lessons that spilled over into life (and vice versa)

• And of course, what's coming next 🥳

Plus, I answer a few personal questions thanks to some perfectly timed chatgpt prompts that had me laughing and reflecting in equal measure.

Whether you're a long-time listener or you're brand new here, this episode gives you the full picture of what Go Get Great is all about—real talk, real growth, and showing up as your full self in business and life.

Thanks for being here, for listening, and for making it possible to hit 100 episodes. I'm so grateful to be on this journey with you.

Traveling with kids is an adventure on its own—but when you're navigating hotel rooms, Airbnb stays, or even an extended stretch of motel living like our family has, you quickly learn what works… and what absolutely doesn't.

In this episode, I'm sharing our real-life experience as a family of 6 traveling with little ones (ages 5, 4, 2, and less than a year) and what we've learned from extended stays in motels and short-term rentals. From unexpected wins to total mom hacks that I figured out on the go to made our lives so much easier, this is the episode I wish existed before we packed our bags.

I'm sharing what to pack, what to plan for, and the specific items that made all the difference for us—including the one thing I always bring now, no matter where we're staying. Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or navigating a season of temporary living, these tips will help you keep routines consistent and your stress levels lower.

Inside this episode:

• Our top travel gear picks

• How to maintain nap schedules and bedtime routines on the go

• What to look for in an Airbnb when you're booking with toddlers

• Why snacks solve (almost) everything

• And how we made motel living tolerable for our young family

If you're a parent who travels—or wants to!—this episode is packed with practical advice, real talk, and a few laughs from our journey.

This one's personal.

In this week's episode of Go Get Great, I'm opening up about something we've been navigating behind the scenes—something I haven't shared publicly until now.

We sold our house. Not because we were upgrading. Not because we were relocating for a dream job or planning a big life change. We sold our home because we owed money—a lot more than we expected—and had to make a tough call.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the full story: ✨ What led us to this point ✨ How a surprise government categorization left us with a hefty debt ✨ The decision to list our home (and how long it actually took to sell) ✨ The pressure of house hunting with four kids and nowhere to go ✨ Why we moved in with my mom (temporarily) ✨ And the crazy story of how we finally purchased in our new home

It's been messy, emotional, and honestly really humbling. But I wanted to share this because I know so many of us—especially as business owners and parents—feel like we have to keep everything together all the time. That we have to look like we're always growing, always thriving. But that's just not real life.

This episode is about hard choices, trusting yourself even when things feel uncertain, and being brave enough to pivot when life throws you a curveball.

If you've ever felt like you were doing your best and still falling behind—you are not alone.

💬 Send me a DM after you listen and let me know what part hit home for you.
