How much of your life is actually in your control: Life is Luck

On this episode of the Ms. Biz Podcast, we take a fresh look at one of the more uncomfortable ideas about success: how much of it might come down to luck.

We like to believe that success is the result of hard work, smart decisions, and determination. But what about timing, circumstances, opportunities, the people we meet, and the things that happen completely outside our control?

In Episode 177, we explore how luck shapes business, success, and the paths we take—and whether acknowledging it changes the way we should think about achievement.

Because sometimes, the story of how we got here has a lot more to do with luck than we'd like to admit.

You’re talking—but are you actually communicating?

In Episode 176, Jamie Miller joins the conversation to explore the difference between simply exchanging words and truly connecting with the people around us.

This conversation takes a closer look at the habits and patterns that can quietly shape our relationships, leadership, business, and everyday interactions.

Because communication isn’t just about getting your message out. It’s about making sure it actually gets through.

Ep. 174 | Give & Take: Who’s Really Winning?

Relationships, business, friendships, and even everyday conversations are built on give and take—but what happens when the balance starts to shift?

In this episode, we’re taking a closer look at the unspoken exchange behind our relationships: who gives, who takes, who keeps score, and what happens when one person is always giving more. We’ll unpack the difference between generosity and overextending yourself, why some people are natural takers, and how to recognize when “give and take” has become a one-way street.

Because healthy relationships aren’t always 50/50—but they should feel reciprocal.

So, who’s really winning?

Ep. 172 | Do Hard Better

Hard things are part of life—and business. The question isn't whether you'll face challenges, setbacks, difficult decisions, and uncomfortable moments. The question is how well you handle them.

In this episode of the Ms. Biz Podcast, Brooke Boltz and Rachel Boltz explore what it really means to “do hard better.” Whether you're dealing with a business setback, navigating uncertainty, making a difficult decision, managing stress, or pushing through something that simply isn't easy, the way you respond to difficulty can make all the difference.

Entrepreneurship rarely follows a straight line. Growth brings challenges. Success brings new responsibilities. Failure brings lessons. And sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the hard thing itself—it's the way we approach it.

Brooke and Rachel discuss resilience, perseverance, mindset, problem-solving, leadership, and the importance of becoming better at navigating uncomfortable situations instead of constantly trying to avoid them. You'll discover how changing your perspective on difficulty can help you make better decisions, stay focused, and keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan.

Winning an award isn't just something to put on a shelf—it can become a valuable business asset that helps establish credibility, strengthen your brand, generate publicity, and give potential customers another reason to trust you.

From local business awards and industry recognition to awards that showcase your company's expertise, achievements, and reputation, Brooke and Rachel discuss how smart entrepreneurs can turn recognition into a marketing strategy rather than simply a moment of celebration.

You'll learn how awards can create powerful social proof, enhance your website and social media presence, support public relations efforts, improve brand positioning, and help your business stand out in a crowded marketplace. They also discuss how to identify worthwhile award opportunities and, most importantly, how to maximize the marketing value after you win.
