LITerally

If you haven't met Sabrina Philipp already, you're about to get up close and personal with her multiple 7-figure business. In this introductory episode, we share our excitement about going behind-the-scenes of a massively successful business owner, which has never been done before on this podcast (or in our industry). Find out why I thought Sabrina's application to be on LITerally® was a joke, until realizing it might just be the best thing ever...

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The transformative story of Sabrina's move to Bali with $800 (and no business) to what her life and business look like now
• Our concerns recording this podcast season and why I almost didn't do it
• The trade-offs (and other surprising things) that come with massive business success
• Sabrina's goals for the next six months (and why she had stopped setting them for awhile)
• Why Sabrina was chosen to be the coachee this season, and what made her want to share in such a public way

In our final episode of this special miniseries Little Ones, we talk to 7-figure business coach, Cait Scudder, who graciously models for us all how to be "enough" as mothers while still reaching new levels of success in business. There is so much permission given in this episode around having flexibility, not planning everything out perfectly, and empowering every woman to delight in the beauty and richness of running a highly successful business alongside raising a family.

I so encourage you to listen to this episode as Cait shares how she has made this possible every single day, despite the struggle that comes with balancing her time and mental capacity. While you're at it, tune into the rest of Little Ones, the miniseries featuring five of my clients, who had babies within the last year, empowering every listener to make the outrageous asks, receive support, and ultimately delight in motherhood while building their business & wealth.

In Cait's episode, you'll hear:

• The key to finding room for "more" as a woman and mother in business so you have a higher capacity for growth
• Encouragement to build the business you want AND have the family you want without sacrificing one for the other
• How to gain a deeper sense of purpose in our identity as a mother and CEO (and allow ourselves to have all the "good stuff" without guilt)
• What makes Cait feel more lit up and inspired than ever
• How Cait has refused to sacrifice herself, her dream, her desires, and her ambitions (and how this is possible for you, too!)

Wanna know how it's possible to have a multi 6-figure business while working 15 hours a week… and starting a family and running a second business, all in one year?

Once Sam DiNicola decided to start a family, she locked into a rock solid mindset and began preparing her business and life for a baby to arrive. You may recognize this digital marketing agency owner from season 2 of LITerally! She's back to share her wisdom and mindset with us in the Little Ones mini series, along with four of my other clients who are balancing businesses and babies while making great money.

Sam was able to grow and evolve her agency while in the role of primary caregiver, as well as build her real estate investment business working only 15 hours a week. You heard that right - she currently has no nanny or daycare and continues to grow her businesses only working in the mornings while her very supportive husband spends precious time with their daughter.

In order to run two businesses and have her daughter in her care almost 24/7, Sam made adjustments and changes very purposefully and in advance of getting pregnant. Listen to this open and honest conversation to hear the lessons she has learned, how instrumental her mindset was, and what she would do differently to make her business work for her life in the best way possible!

In this episode, you'll hear:

• A massive win Sam experienced in her business while in the hospital giving birth (and how this can be possible for you anywhere, anytime too!)
• Sam's biggest tip to prepare for maternity leave (or any extended leave) to make the transition as smooth as possible while earning almost the same amount
• What she refuses to waste any more time on as a business owner (and how to fully enjoy the time we dedicate to growing our businesses)
• How to set your mindset to being more productive when your mental load is at capacity and you are downright exhausted

What happens when a seven figure business owner wants to scale back her hours and still provide financially for her family? When online business coach, Leah Gervais, became pregnant, she scaled back to 4 days and then eventually 3 days in anticipation of creating a new normal for herself and her family.

She bravely shares her fears and nerves around not knowing how to prepare for a new normal, and what having a baby would mean for her freedom. In the process, she discovered the absolute best way to spend her time and experienced the feeling of "having it all" when returning to work after maternity leave. Find out how she was able to feel lighter and work and obsess over her business less while still achieving massive success.

Listen to episode 3 of the LITle Ones miniseries to learn about building a business and life that gives us everything we desire without losing ourselves in the process.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How Leah gave herself permission for changes in her business to occur and how she's working less and making more than ever
• How to hold onto the important parts of your identity as you step into motherhood (so you can be ALL of you in this season of life)
• Listening to your intuition in business and motherhood and how that can pay off in the biggest way
• The behind the scenes of what it looked like for Leah to shift expectations, design a life and business that served her, and truly "have it all"
• Bonus real talk on breastfeeding struggles and the motivation to keep going in the hard moments!

What if you built a business just for the sake of building a business? Only to realize you didn't actually love most of what you were doing even though it looked really successful from the outside?

In episode 2 of our Little Ones miniseries, Copywriter and Brand Strategist, Jess Jordana, and I have a conversation about what happened when she came back from maternity leave and realized it was time to reimagine her entire business. We discuss balance, transitioning to a 3 day work week and what it means to actually have that elusive 'balance'.

If you are struggling with work-life balance, feeling like you maybe haven't built a business that lights you up, or want some inspiration to know that you can work less AND still get what you want out of your business, this episode is for you.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• The biggest difference-maker in preparing for maternity leave (or any extended leave)
• Why tearing down and rebuilding Jess's business was the best move for her (and a new lens through which she bases her decisions)
• A huge mindset shift around how you spend your time (and how to know that something is actually WORTH your time)
• The single, most important question that changed everything in Jess's business
• One guiding thought that can support you in making decisions as a mother in business

The belief of success at ANY cost…actually has a really big cost.😬

We can believe "I can do it all myself - and perfectly" which leads to stress, burnout, and lack of rest, OR we can intentionally choose to create ease and enjoyment in life and business (even and especially when it feels hardest to do that!).

In this first episode of Little Ones, business coach and serial entrepreneur, Suzy Olivier, shares with us how she crafted her maternity leave and transition back to work to be fun, easy, and serve her well, even with three littles to care for! This is the permission we as mothers need to take time off, receive support, and let go of trying to be everything to everyone.

Tune into this episode to discover:

• How Suzy shifted her mindset, beliefs, and goals (and how this is possible for ANYONE) to be an intentional business owner
• A mindset reframe that helped Suzy fully enjoy her newborn and ditch mom guilt
• One reality of the growth and speed of your business during time off that needs to be said and spoken about more
• What balance looks like for Suzy, and how to be "the best you" whether you are in mom mode or business mode
