Turning 40 is a special milestone, and what better way to celebrate than by embarking on a much-needed, unplugged European adventure? 

In today's episode, I'm sharing three specific things that I've been doing to help prepare and plan for leaving my business. It has been no small feat, involving years of preparation and an overhaul of my business model to ensure it thrives without my constant oversight. By investing in the right team and addressing my nervous system, I've laid the groundwork to ensure my business can flourish independently, all while prioritizing my well-being. 

As I look forward to sharing my experiences from this upcoming vacation, I encourage you to look at one area where you can start making changes to make your business model slightly more sustainable than it was last week. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• The importance of creating a sustainable business model that aligns with personal well-being and growth
• Mindset shifts to effectively bring in help and accepting that it's not all on me, all the time, to keep the needles moving
• Why focusing on nurturing my nervous system has been crucial for building sustainable business models, serving my clients well, and leaving my business for a much-needed vacation

Profit Shift Fall 2026

Are you tired of trying to force your business into one-size-fits-all financial formulas? It’s time to stop chasing someone else’s version of success and build a business that actually supports your life.

In today’s episode, I’m tackling a hot topic—hourly billing for project-based service contracts. My frustrations with this common pricing model stem from its tendency to create a misalignment of interests between service providers and clients. I encourage you to shift towards value-based pricing, where flat rates reflect the true value and expertise you provide.

By focusing on the outcomes and transformations you deliver, rather than the hours spent, you can enhance the client experience and optimize your processes, benefiting everyone involved. This pricing model can pave the way for more efficient, scalable, and satisfying business practices.

In this episode, I cover:

• The pitfalls of hourly billing and how transitioning to value-based pricing could redefine the way you do business
• The misalignment of interests that hourly billing creates between service providers and clients
• Why setting clear, flat rates can lead to better decision-making for everyone involved
• Adopting flat fees can help anticipate project needs more accurately, align our services with client expectations, and foster transparency

Are you tired of trying to force your business into one-size-fits-all financial formulas? It’s time to stop chasing someone else’s version of success and build a business that actually supports your life.

Today, I'm celebrating my 40th birthday by sharing 40 life lessons gathered over the past four decades. This episode captures what life has taught me through major life changes, from corporate climbs to entrepreneurship, marriage, divorce, and parenthood. As I share these life lessons, I emphasize the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. I encourage you to embrace your emotions, let love in, and understand the ripple effect that being authentically you can have on those around you. This episode is a heartfelt invitation to present your true self to the world as a unique gift, inspiring others to do the same.

In this episode, I cover:

• How life has taught me to embrace change, understand the power of timing, and learn to breathe through life's challenges
• How we all want to see the full journey, but sometimes all we actually have is just the next step that's in front of us
• The beauty of authenticity and vulnerability as keys to true connection and personal growth

Today, I'm diving into one of the most emotionally charged topics we can have as female business owners, and that is pricing. I'm talking about how to align your pricing with the value, the energy, and the profit you want to make in business. Because here's the thing, you're not just setting a price for your service. You are truly setting the tone for how you work, who you work with, and the kind of business and life you're building.

Your pricing is just a number, and your worth is not tied to your revenue. You are worthy, period. So instead of "charging your worth," charge for the value your services provide. Your worth is infinite; nobody can pay that because you are so worthy.

In this episode, I cover:

• The secrets to setting prices that truly reflect your business's value
• The power of understanding the unique transformation you offer and learning to view pricing as simply a number, not the force that dictates your worth or success
• Tips and practical strategies for pricing with clarity, belief, and alignment

In today's episode, I'm revealing the truth about what happened when I finally realized that I was building my business on someone else's blueprint, definition of "enough," and measure of success. I'm laying it all out there; the good, the hard, the quiet decisions that no one saw me make, the ways I thought I was failing, the ways I almost quit, and the deeper truth I found in the middle of it all. 

I hope that you hear yourself in this episode and remember that you're not behind, you're not too much, and you're not wrong for wanting something different. Remember that you are enough, and by embracing our stories, we can cultivate a supportive community of empowered women. 

In this episode, I cover: 

• The moment I finally realized I was living according to a blueprint drafted by societal expectations rather than what felt right to me
• How confronting ingrained beliefs and redefining success on my own terms empowered me to support other women facing similar journeys
• The TRUTH: You can build wealth without burning yourself down; it starts with knowing who you are and believing you're already enough

Profit Shift Fall 2026

Are you tired of trying to force your business into one-size-fits-all financial formulas? It’s time to stop chasing someone else’s version of success and build a business that actually supports your life.

Today's episode is inspired by one of the best scenes from the TV show Ted Lasso. Ted shares a story about seeing a quote by Walt Whitman, which says, "Be curious, not judgmental." The quote struck me! It's an incredible mindset shift, especially when we turn it inward. Curiosity can help us reframe our mindset, challenge assumptions, and ultimately develop a more compassionate and open-minded approach to our challenges.

In this episode, I cover:

• How shifting our mindset, from judgment to curiosity, opens doors to personal growth and understanding
• The transformational journey of a client who conquered her email-induced dread by replacing judgment with curiosity
• Practical strategies to be curious, not judgmental, helping you to overcome self-imposed limits and enhance your professional and personal life
