My Aligned Purpose | Business Coaching for Female Entrepreneurs Ready to Attract High-Ticket Clients + Scale While Having Fun

This week on TGIM, Nicole gets real about the unseen price of entrepreneurship, AKA the moments you don’t want to show up, the tasks that feel tedious, and the invisible work that builds freedom later. If you’ve ever struggled to start the work you know matters, procrastinated on big goals, or wondered why the freedom everyone promises feels just out of reach, this episode is for you.

Nicole dives into how reframing “hard” work as the price of entry can shift your mindset, your energy, and your results - without burning out or hating the process. She shares the tools and strategies she uses to overcome resistance, make decisions without negotiation, gamify her work, and connect every task to her bigger vision.

What you’ll take away from this episode:

• How to reframe tasks you don’t want to do as the price you pay for freedom, growth, and results
• Why resistance is normal, and how to move through it without guilt or frustration
• Strategies to "shrink the window" and tackle overwhelming tasks in manageable chunks
• How to connect your work to your bigger vision so it feels energizing instead of tedious
• Tips for building reward systems that motivate and sustain your focus
• How committing to yourself and your priorities creates long-term time freedom

Whether you’re tackling admin, batch-recording content, or hustling toward your next launch, this episode will help you see the hard work as the investment it truly is, and finally enjoy the rewards of showing up consistently.

Hi Biz Besties! In this week’s episode, Nicole and Kaila dive into the unpopular opinions of the coaching and entrepreneurial world. They share why breaking the rules and doing things your way (not following trends or copycat strategies) can actually help you grow a business that aligns with your values and your life.

From client relationships to ads and launches, they unpack the mindset shifts and practical approaches that allow you to serve your clients deeply while staying authentic. Plus, they share predictions for the next six years in their business and the industry, including what they’re excited to see evolve for women entrepreneurs.

What you’ll takeaway from this episode:

• Why you don’t have to separate your personal life from your business to be professional. Being yourself can actually deepen client connections.
• How over-reliance on trends, influencer advice, or “magic strategies” can derail your business growth.
• The importance of thoughtful execution over impulsive action—especially when rolling out offers or ads.
• How promoting your work from a place of service (not pushiness) builds trust and lasting relationships.
• Why writing your own rules and trusting your instincts is essential to success as an entrepreneur.
• Predictions for the next six years: tiered offers, more in-person masterminds, and the evolving role of AI in business.

If you’ve ever felt pressure to conform to trends, copy someone else’s path, or hide your true self in business, this episode is your permission slip to do it your way and thrive.

In this week’s TGIM episode, Nicole dives into a topic that hits close to home for so many of us: when your intentions, goals, and actions aren’t actually lining up. This episode will help you uncover why and how to start taking aligned, effective action.

We talk about common patterns that keep women entrepreneurs stuck:

• Someday thinking – waiting for the “perfect moment” to start instead of acting now.
• Preparation as procrastination – endlessly planning or learning instead of taking the steps that matter.
• Busywork avoidance – staying overwhelmed with low-priority tasks to avoid the scary, important ones.

Nicole shares a simple but powerful daily practice to break these patterns: carving out a small space in your workspace and asking yourself “What are my top three actions I am taking today?”. She explains how starting small and consistently showing up can dramatically shift your results and your confidence.

If you’re tired of spinning your wheels and want to start seeing real progress in your business and life, this episode will give you practical ways to start today.

Hi Biz Besties! In today’s episode, we’re bringing one of our favourite conversations from inside Aligned CEO Method onto the podcast because the mindset shifts that came out of this call were too good not to share.

What started as a conversation about offers and business strategy turned into something much deeper: how you think about investing in yourself, your business, and your future.

We’re talking about the difference between seeing everything as a cost versus viewing it as an investment… and how that one mindset shift can completely change the way you grow.

Here’s what we’re diving into today:

• Why the way you think about spending money impacts the results you create, and how shifting from “this cost me” to “this is growing me” changes everything.
• We talk about invisible returns: confidence, relationships, capacity, skill-building, opportunities, and becoming the version of yourself who can hold bigger success.
• If you’ve been waiting until you feel “ready” to get support, we’re reframing what expansion actually looks like and how to know what to delegate first.
• We share stories about coaching, masterminds, events, and why your next opportunity often comes through the rooms you decide to enter.
• No coach, strategist, ads manager, or mastermind can do the work for you. We talk about taking ownership of your results and fully stepping into your next level.

We also share real examples from our own business journey, from investments that stretched us, lessons learned from hiring, and why some of our biggest breakthroughs came after moments that initially felt uncomfortable.

If you’ve been questioning whether investing in yourself is “worth it,” consider this your reminder: sometimes the return isn’t immediate income. Sometimes the return is becoming the woman who creates more of it.

If you’ve been stuck at the same income level in your business and wondering why nothing seems to be changing, this episode is for you.

This is an honest conversation about the patterns that keep women entrepreneurs stuck in scarcity, overworking, constantly tweaking their offers, and chasing the next “perfect” strategy- all while avoiding the deeper mindset and energetic work that actually creates abundance.

I’m sharing the exact shifts I made after years of debt and under-earning, and why your identity, self-worth, magnetism, and relationship with money matter so much more than another funnel or perfectly polished Instagram post.

If you’ve been craving more income, more ease, and more confidence in your business, this episode will challenge you to stop focusing only on what you’re doing and start looking at who you’re being.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why your business may feel stuck at the same income level
• The difference between a strategy problem and an identity problem
• How scarcity energy repels money and opportunities
• The mindset patterns keeping women from their first $10K month
• Why execution without energetic alignment keeps you stuck
• The power of magnetism, self-trust, and abundance
• How your beliefs about money shape your reality
• Why mindset work has to come before strategy
• The habits and practices that create true abundance
• What wealthy, magnetic women do differently

Let this episode be your reminder that your next level in business begins the moment you become the version of you who truly believes she’s worthy of receiving more.

In this week’s TGIM episode, I’m sharing a deeply personal realization I had after sending a vulnerable voice note to my mastermind friends. Something felt off, but not for the reasons I originally thought.

On paper, everything looks successful. The business is growing, opportunities are expanding, our book launch is happening, and life is full in the best ways. But underneath it all, I could feel discomfort bubbling up, and I realized it wasn’t because things were falling apart.

It was because I was outgrowing an old version of myself.

In this episode, I’m opening up about the uncomfortable, messy middle that happens when your standards shift and the version of you that once felt safe no longer fits anymore.

We’re talking about:

• How to recognize when you’re outgrowing a past version of yourself
• Why discomfort is often a sign of expansion — not failure
• The difference between fear that protects you and intuition that guides you
• How people-pleasing and over-giving can keep you stuck
• Why growth often requires leaving behind old identities, relationships, and patterns
• What to do when success still feels “off”
• The grounding practices I use before making big decisions
• Why your next level always lives on the other side of discomfort

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, frustrated, emotional, or unsure lately… this episode is your reminder that you may not be failing. You may simply be evolving.

Sometimes growth doesn’t look exciting at first. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable, uncertain, and deeply vulnerable But that discomfort might actually be the invitation into your next level.

Tune in and ask yourself: What version of me am I finally ready to leave behind?
