  • Delight in the Process (#bananabundance) [NE 021]

    In this ep I share the story of how planting a batch o' banana trees in our backyard has proven to be a LOT like creating this podcast.

    I didn't have a particular result or outcome in mind, but I've been delighted by the process. And it keeps getting better.

    Listen in for lessons on setting the vision, planting the seeds, and trusting the process. (Then remind me to do the same next time urgency grabs a hold.)

  • Real Talk on Biz Baby Blues [NE 019]

    If you've been feeling down about your business since bringing a new human onto the scene, my hope is that listening to this ep will help you feel more normal.

    BONUS POINTS if it inspires you to give yourself some credit and grace (rest / exploration / introspection / fresh air / chocolate as needed too).

    In this one I (candidly) share the emotional rollercoaster that was my business mindset in 2016. I was on top of the world in December (in my final weeks of pregnancy), but come January / February - I was in a surprisingly dark and disconnected space, with little to no desire to work on OR in my business.

    I share how that played out in the early stages of Naptime Empires™, the impact it had on my launches / overall energy, and how I'm slowly but surely coming back to ME, finding a way to move forward in a way I'm *genuinely* excited about.

    Give yourself time, space, and some great friends who GET IT, and you certainly will too.

  • Who do you wanna be when you grow up? [NE 017]

    My little guy's first "career day" at school really got me thinking. What if, instead of asking "WHAT do you want to be when you grow up?" - implying that we've gotta fit neatly into one checkbox - we asked "Who do you want to be? What do you want to do? How do you want to feel?" and let those little (big) imaginations fly from there?

    I'm looking back at my own childhood aspirations - TV host, published author, college professor, counselor, fundraiser, mom, and realizing that through my business, I actually get to "be" ALL of those things.

    Literally - even though I find plenty of ways to overcomplicate it - I'm livin little Nik's dream.

    In this episode I encourage you to think back to YOUR younger self - the one who didn't use a "will this make money" filter - and note the elements and experiences you'd love to bring back into your life and business.

  • Melanie Duncan on What it REALLY Takes to Design Your Dream Empire [NE 016]

    You may *think* it could be de-motivating to listen to a mama who’s already built her (Insta-perfect) multimillion-dollar empires to baller status.

    Let me assure you: It’s anything BUT.

    If you’re anything like me, listening to this episode will light a FIRE under your booty bum, empowering you to take a step back and CHOOSE to design a business that truly supports the lifestyle you want for yourself and your family.

  • Dear Overthinker: Let it be FUN. [NE 013]

    If you're tempted to overthink, overcomplicate, and overanalyze the next (okay almost EVERY) move in your business, treat yourself to this episode.

    In this one I share some of my most relevant "overthinking" stories, the loving wake up calls that snapped me out of 'em, and a few simple Qs you can ask yourself when you find your work feeling harder and heavier than it needs to.

    It's an invitation to bring more FUN, flow, and ease into your work. Because seriously - it's all a matter of choice.
