Brittany Rincon was quick to admit that being a mom, business owner, and full-time teacher isn't easy. But she's found a way to move forward in her business while still being present with her family. In this episode of the podcast, Brittany shares her best advice for finding success as a mompreneur with a 9 to 5.

Recently, I was catching up with a past client and he asked me some great questions about being a full-time entrepreneur. I figured that there's probably more people just like him who have questions, so I decided to make a podcast episode sharing my experience so far! If you’re dreaming of going full-time, struggling with whether or not it’s time, or also navigating your first year of full-time - this episode is for you. I hope that learning from my experience is helpful for you!

Dyana King is a financial coach who helps single women maximize their income using simple behavior-based strategies. You might know her from her blog, Money Boss Mama.

As a single mom, Dyana paid off over $34,000 in debt and learned how to experience more financial freedom. Now, she's living completely debt free, saving 30% of her income, and building wealth as a single mom of two. I was so inspired by Dyana's story. As soon as I found out about her, I invited her onto the show for an interview!

I really wanted to have her share her experience as a regular person, like any of us, on how she was able to overcome those mindset blocks she experienced and really learn to have a good relationship with money. You'll hear her talk about how important mindset is when it comes to managing your money!

Confession - In college, my mom used to try to get me to listen to finance podcasts, talk about passive income, etc. and I thought it was boring (sorry Mom). But once I started running a business and adulting post-college, I realized how important it is to have a handle on your financial situation and know how to manage your money. That's why I'm so excited to share about two awesome finance books: Profit First and Get Good with Money! Tune in to hear what I love about these books and how they can help you with your financial journey. If you have questions about knowing how much/when to pay yourself as a business owner or creating a realistic budget and paying off debt, these books can help!

(Disclaimer: I'm not a financial expert in any way. This is just me sharing books that I've found helpful. Please take what I share with a grain of salt and consult a financial expert If you have questions about your specific situation.)

As business owners who care deeply about the people we serve, it's so exciting when we see our clients experiencing wins. In this episode of the podcast, copywriter Jess Jordana walks us through how we can create opportunities for client transformation. We talk about how offering a safe space and being willing to "listen with a filter" allows us to support the needs of others - both in life and business. This episode has lots of takeaways for you to apply to your business - be ready to take notes!

Jess Jordana is a copywriter (a.k.a. heart translator) who helps creative business owners turn their passion into words people actually "get." She runs Jess, XO, a copywriting agency for creative entrepreneurs and is the founder of The Promptlate® Shop. She drinks iced coffee all year round, and firmly believes if date night isn't tacos, you're doing it wrong. She couldn't do a day in business without her cute hubs (Presley), her brand new baby girl (Parker Jane), and her doodle pup (Joey Tribbiani). She's worked with everyone from solopreneurs to organizations like The Rising Tide Society, The GUIDE Culture, CEO School, and The Social Bungalow but her most impressive accomplishment is surviving teaching in the high school classroom and getting to meet her former students for coffee when they come back from college. She's a brand new mama and is so grateful to be able to navigate what building (and re-building) her dream business can look like in balance with building her dream life.

I wanted to chat with Elizabeth about community building because her course, Booked Out Designer, has such a tight knit community. As a founding member, it's been cool to watch everything unfold, especially since you don't often see super engaged communities with online courses.

This is a pretty special interview for me, because Elizabeth was a big inspiration for me in deciding what I wanted to do with my business. Her podcast was the first business podcast that I started listening to  (I still listen to it to this day!) I'm also one of her students in Booked Out Designer. Elizabeth's really awesome, I'm so excited for you to learn from her!
