I have a confession for you: I am a CPA who doesn't enjoy talking about tax deductions. But there is a better way to think about taxes. 

In this episode, I'm sharing three ways to shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. I want you to think about the greater possibilities beyond simply reducing your tax liability. The tax code is overly complex. So, let's focus on having cash in our businesses and making better decisions to help them become more profitable and sustainable.

In this episode, I cover: 

• My desire for entrepreneurs to have an abundance mindset where they understand that there is always more
• How adopting an abundance mindset is a better way to think about taxes
• How making informed financial decisions and managing cash flow strategically can lead to sustainable growth and empower you to embrace taxes as simply a part of doing business

Today, you are getting the raw thoughts as they come out of my head about possibilities and the question, "What if it goes right?" I heard a song recently that I had not heard before, and it was called What Could Go Right by Thomas Rhett and Lanie Gardner. 

As I was listening to this song, I couldn't help but think about how often we spend time and energy thinking about all the ways that something could go wrong versus opening up to the possibility that things could actually go right. 

What happens when we flip the script and focus on what could go right? ​​Join me as I talk about balancing fear with hope and how focusing on positive possibilities can lead to unexpected success.

In this episode, I cover: 

• The power of focusing on positive possibilities rather than dwelling on what might go wrong
• How balancing fear and hope can lead to unexpected success
• The importance of maintaining a hopeful mindset even when faced with challenges

What if your approach to money could be less about control and more about trust? After years as a CPA, I realized that the conventional methods focusing solely on structure and discipline often lead to stress and anxiety. This episode explores a revolutionary shift in mindset: going beyond budgeting and balancing masculine energy, which offers structure and discipline, with feminine energy, which encourages flow, intuition, and trust in financial decision-making.

In this episode, I'm sharing how these energies influence our relationship with money and how they can coexist beyond budgeting without the strain of constant micromanagement. This isn't just about money management; it's about transforming your financial journey into one that's nurturing, aligned, and truly reflective of who you are.

In this episode, I cover: 

• How to balance masculine and feminine energies in your financial life, crafting a relationship with money that emphasizes ease and abundance over control and rigidity
• The concepts of masculine and feminine energies and how they influence our relationship with money
• How thinking beyond budgeting can lead to sustainable financial well-being, aligning with your personal values and life's natural cycles

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that has kept so many women stuck in an under-earning cycle: the belief that talking about money is bad. So today, I'm sharing my journey of uncovering this mindset, why so many women struggle with it, and how we can shift into confidence and power when it comes to talking about money. 

Historically, women being financially independent has been a radical act. So, if you want to celebrate Women's History Month in an impactful way, start talking about money (including reaching out to me on social media if you don't have anyone else to talk to). If we don't talk about money, we don't learn about it. And if we don't learn about it, we don't change the results we get. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• How societal norms have historically discouraged women from talking about money, contributing to the gender pay gap and financial undervaluation
• Insights into breaking free from these outdated beliefs and adopting a mindset that celebrates financial independence and openly talking about money
• How changing our beliefs and mindset around financial matters can create a world where women thrive financially

In today's episode, I'm exploring the essential theme of alignment across all facets of life, from relationships to business and finances. Inspired by a thought-provoking reel from relationship expert Max Trombley, I'm examining how stepping back from our daily routines can help us recognize areas that are out of alignment before reaching a breaking point. 

I'm also sharing about reclaiming the power over our own happiness rather than relying on external factors or individuals. By cultivating goodness in our lives, no matter how small the gesture, we can start nurturing the life and business we aspire to achieve today. Let's embrace the concept of living fully now rather than postponing happiness for some elusive future.

In this episode, I cover: 

• How to identify areas where your actions and goals are out of alignment and learn practical strategies to realign them
• How to shift your perspective, build self-trust, and find joy in the present rather than waiting for external circumstances to change
