Collaborations are gaining in popularity lately and it’s easy to get caught in the trap of doing them just to do them. But what you need to keep in mind is whether or not collaborations make sense for you and your business as a marketing strategy.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what collaborations are, why they sometimes don’t work, and how to determine if they are right for you. Plus, collaborations are not one size fits all, so try a few different ones and see how it feels.

As the leader of your business, it’s important to keep investing in yourself personally and professionally. Your business is going to evolve and you have to evolve with it. There are always seasons in life that will impact your priorities and it’s OK to be open to change. 

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Sam Abbott, a registered dietitian nutritionist, about how her business has shifted as she navigated moving her brick and mortar practice completely online, recovering from long COVID, and being diagnosed with ADHD.

The topic of business success keeps coming up lately and I had to record this episode to address what I’m seeing and how to reframe it. So many business owners focus too much on the timeline of reaching certain business milestones and not enough on what’s already been accomplished.  

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to redefine what business success really means, how to celebrate what you’ve achieved, and how to stop comparing your business to someone else’s.

Not feeling aligned in your business can lead to feelings of frustration and imposter syndrome. Listening to what other people think you should do in your business is not going to fulfill you. You need to discover what lights you up. 

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Lindsey Lopez Horwitz, founder of Virtually Lindsey and a former client of mine, about how she embraced alignment in her business and made the mindset shifts to get her there. Lindsey shares how being coachable, finding the things that lit her up, and reframing how she presented herself online led her to become unapologetically bold in her business.

Selling is something we’ve all struggled with at some point or another. We’ve seen the icky practices online and want to avoid it at all costs. I get it. I’ve been there, too. There’s a lot of pressure when it comes to sales and it’s even worse when you don’t have the confidence you need to sell like a CEO. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how you can build that confidence and shift your mindset when it comes to sales. It’s a pep talk from the heart with advice on how to approach sales as a connection. Remember: not closing a sale isn’t failure. It’s practice and research that you can use to build more opportunities in your business.

When you started your business, did you have trouble stepping into the CEO role? Perhaps your people-pleasing tendencies or insecurities had you asking other people for advice and permission instead of leading the way. These barriers are normal and can be overcome by shifting your mindset in your business. 

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Marissa Miluk on how she’s fully embraced being the CEO of her business by infusing it with her unique personality and continually investing in herself. By doing so, she’s fostered a deeper sense of community with her audience and grown her social following by leaps and bounds.

This is a story about how I learned to bake sourdough bread from scratch, after being intimidated by it for quite some time. But it’s really a story about how imposter syndrome can seep into every part of your life, and how you can fight it. 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing what exactly imposter syndrome is, how it shows up in our lives (no matter who you are), and my advice on how to change your mindset and move past your limiting beliefs. Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there and try something new. Even if the outcome isn’t what you expected, it doesn’t mean you failed.

When you come up with an idea for a business, and even when you’re well into owning and running a business, imposter syndrome can hit hard. It can be easy to think that you’re not capable or that you have to try something completely different. But if you take a beat and follow your intuition, you’ll see that you don’t have to ditch your business or start all over with a new idea.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Amy Nielson about how she has grown her business making printables for teachers to a multi-million dollar business operating on a membership model. She’s talking about how important it is to do something that you love, how to reframe entrepreneurial challenges as opportunities, and the importance of collaboration.

Summer is coming, and I know we all want to soak up the sunshine with family or friends or even have some extra time to ourselves. That’s a big part of why we became entrepreneurs, right? To prioritize time off to recharge.

In today’s episode, I’m talking about why it is so important to prioritize the life that you want to live. I’m sharing three things I want you to do, right now, to make time for yourself.

Whether it’s shorter work days in the summer, taking off the entire month of December, or 3-day weekends, make yourself a priority. Your business should support your lifestyle and not the other way around.

Our goals in life change constantly depending on our circumstances. Maybe you recently started a family, or you want to spend more time practicing your hobby, or you long to travel. For today’s guest, she realized that teaching required valuable energy that meant she was too tired and overwhelmed to pour into her own child. That was the wake up call she needed to make a change.

In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Arianna Vernier, a teacher turned work-from-home mom who coaches other moms and former teachers on how to start their own virtual assistant businesses. She herself started out as a VA after leaving her teaching job, and the transition to mentor and coach has allowed her even more flexibility and freedom.

And if you’re ready to dive in deep, embrace your inner CEO and move from implementer to strategist, the doors are open for my signature program the Consulting Framework Accelerator.
