Today I’m sitting down with Taylor and Abby Scarpello who have created an incredible community dedicated to supporting those who are ready to align with their highest self. Through their own journey of dealing with grief they knew they had to create a space to help others heal and empower themselves.

You guys have heard me talk ad nauseum about how important mindset is for entrepreneurs, and half of that battle is dealing with your emotions. It’s work that not only helps you address your current state, but also sets you up for success when future trying times come knocking. Taylor and Abby are giving you guys a complete toolkit on how to effectively deal with your emotions. We talk about everything from how to reconnect with yourself enough to feel your emotions, to how to process and work through them.

While this episode may seem ephemeral to some of you, but, Taylor and Abby leave you with tons of actionable takeaways that are guaranteed to help you at whatever stage of healing you’re in today. Whether that’s someone dealing with loss, dealing with challenging relationships, or someone simply looking to level up in life and knows that healing yourself is the best way to do so.

I cannot stress enough how important I think this episode is for any entrepreneur. In order for us to create and run successful businesses, we have to be in a good place. And this is the best first step for entrepreneurs looking to get their shit together.

Today I’m chatting with Traci Bermingham who is an expert in business efficiency. With experience working for companies like Del Monte Foods, Traci is giving you a step by step guide for how to go from hot mess to highly functioning entrepreneurs. This episode is great for my struggling CEO’s out there, but you will also look like the hero to your CEO with Traci’s tips on how to improve business processes and flow. She’s teaching you time management life hacks, how to simplify your workflows, and how to create clarity on the backend of your business.

Interestingly, she and I chat about how all the information out there surrounding success in business is centered on how to make it profitable, but no one is really talking about what happens after you get the business off the ground. So many founders are miserable because they don’t have the processes to support them and their teams on the back end. How do you stop, and create the flow state when you feel like you’re drowning?

If that sounds like you, just know, it’s okay to not have everything figured out. Instead of pretending like everything’s fine, just listen to this episode. Traci is leaving you with all the tangible hot tips for building a business that’s highly functioning and productive. But buckle up, because Traci is also hitting you with some major realness about the root cause of why your business is struggling and some of you might not like the answer…
