  • Self-Awareness and Style that Moves Business Forward | RR317

    The parts of you you’ve been hiding might be the key to your boldest moves yet.

    I had the pleasure of talking with Danielle Mohr and Shelby Eloria, the women behind Black Sheep Co, about something we don’t talk about enough—the relationship we have with ourselves. We dug into what it means to reclaim your voice, rediscover your identity, and stop shrinking to fit someone else’s idea of success.

    Danielle and Shelby shared how their own experiences as “black sheep” helped shape the work they do now, guiding others to embrace who they really are, quirks and all. We explored how confidence is built through self-awareness, how storytelling connects us, and how personal style can help you show up more powerfully. Shelby opened up about her journey from staying small to standing on international stages, and Danielle explained why our stories don’t need to be dramatic to be meaningful.

    Whether you're in a season of change, feeling stuck, or just craving more alignment in your life and work, I think this conversation will speak to you. You’ll walk away feeling seen, understood, and maybe even ready to let your own black sheep shine.

    Highlights:

    • 1. Embracing What Sets You Apart - Learn how feeling like the outsider can become a powerful point of connection.
    • 2. Personal Style Builds Confidence - Discover how dressing in alignment with your personality shifts how you show up.
    • 3. Storytelling Builds Trust - Explore why relatable stories—no matter how small—create real impact.
    • 4. Awareness Before Action - Understand how slowing down and asking the right questions opens new clarity.
    • 5. Growth Doesn’t Need to Be Loud - Find out why change starts with one step, not a complete life overhaul.

  • Breaking the Cycle: Letting Go of Money Beliefs That No Longer Serve You with Sloan Wilkins | RR 316

    What if talking about money felt more like connection than conflict?

    My guest today, Sloan Wilkins, brings a calm, thoughtful approach to something that often feels heavy—money. Drawing from his own experience with childhood financial loss and a long career in banking, Sloan shares how mindfulness and intention can reshape the way we manage, talk about, and feel about money. Whether you're navigating finances with a partner or juggling personal and business expenses, Sloan offers practical ways to bring more clarity, trust, and ease into the conversation.

    What I loved most was his take on how small, regular money conversations can ease stress and bring couples closer. We also talked about why he prefers the idea of a “spending plan” over a strict budget and how mindfulness can become a tool for both financial peace and personal growth.

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by money or unsure how to talk about it, this episode offers a refreshing and gentle way in.

    Highlights:

    • 1. How Childhood Shapes Money Habits - Sloan shares why our early money memories still influence how we handle finances today.
    • 2. Mindfulness as a Financial Tool - Learn how stress led him to meditation—and how that shifted everything.
    • 3. The Power of Small Conversations - Find out why short, regular check-ins about money are more effective than big budgeting sessions.
    • 4. Why Spending Plans Beat Budgets - Sloan explains how to make spending feel more purposeful and less restrictive.
    • 5. Financial Peace in Relationships and Business - Hear how honest money talks can strengthen both your personal life and your work.

  • The Storytelling Shift That Will Make Your Clients Say Yes | RR315

    Sometimes the simplest changes make the biggest impact—and that’s exactly what Kris Jones shows us in this episode. She breaks down the power of storytelling in a way that instantly makes you rethink your website, your LinkedIn profile, and how you're connecting with clients.

    It's not about you; it’s about the story you're inviting your clients into. That shift? It changes everything.

    Kris walks us through her Signature Story Selling System and shares how to uncover the one story that can fuel all your marketing—from your homepage to your pricing pitch. We explore how to confidently show up as the guide (not the hero), why writing for people trumps SEO, and how your story can do the heavy lifting in your business. If you’ve ever struggled to put your value into words or wondered why your website is not converting, this episode will enlighten you.

    Highlights:

    • Learn why your clients—not you—should be the hero of your website and messaging.
    • Discover the three steps of Kris’s Signature Story Selling System.
    • Understand how storytelling builds trust and supports premium pricing.
    • Get clarity on why writing for humans matters more than ranking for bots.
    • Explore how a strong narrative can align every part of your marketing strategy.

  • Redefining Success on Your Own Terms with Kym Insana | RR314

    Let’s be real. Scaling a business while parenting isn’t easy, but, believe it or not, it is possible when you create it on your own terms.

    Kym Insana didn’t start out trying to build an agency, she just wanted a life that worked for her and her family. What happened next was a business that grew from word-of-mouth relationships, smart strategy, and a whole lot of trust in herself. In this conversation Kym shares how she left corporate, raised four boys, and built Always On Digital without sacrificing what matters most to her.

    Kym describes what it really looks like to run a values-driven company, how she chooses clients and platforms with intention, and why flexibility isn’t just a perk, it’s part of the plan.

    This episode is full of thoughtful, real-world insight from someone who has built a business around people first, not just her clients and teams but also herself. It’s honest, encouraging, and full of quiet permission to grow in your own way.

    Highlights:

    • Why building a business around your life—not the other way around—changes everything.
    • Tips for hiring, leading, and supporting a remote team that values flexibility and trust.
    • What to consider when choosing digital platforms and where to focus your efforts.
    • The power of organic marketing and when to layer in paid strategies.
    • How personal values can (and should) shape your business growth plan.

  • Breakthroughs for the Overwhelmed Brain with Barb Hubbard | RR313

    Just because you feel scattered doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you. You might just need a new way to make things work for you.

    Barb Hubbard, ADHD coach, educator, and author of Quit Chasing Squirrels and Start Chasing Your Dreams, brings a fresh, compassionate approach to helping high-achieving professionals and solopreneurs stop spinning and start making progress. In this episode, Barb and I discuss why time management is really about energy, how distractions affect women differently, and why the right support system matters more than any planner or productivity app.

    Barb also uses EFT tapping in her coaching, as a powerful tool for calming the nervous system and building emotional clarity, especially when fear or overwhelm keep you from taking action.

    Whether or not you’ve been diagnosed with ADHD, if you’ve ever felt scattered, unmotivated, or just plain stuck—this one’s for you.

    Highlights:

    • Why energy—not time—is the real driver of productivity and focus.
    • How to tell the difference between true distraction and emotional overload.
    • Tools to calm overwhelm and reset your brain when you're stuck.
    • What EFT tapping is and how it helps with clarity and emotional release.
    • The power of coaching that’s personalized to how your brain actually works.

  • Why Midlife Is the Perfect Time to Pivot with Beverley Glazer | RR312

    The rules you followed to get here don’t have to be the ones you follow next and that’s where the magic begins.

    Beverley Glazer, transformational coach and founder of Reinvent Impossible, joined me for a powerful conversation about what it really means to thrive in midlife and beyond. With decades of experience as both a therapist and coach, she helps high-performing women navigate change, rediscover their purpose, and take bold steps into what’s next. We explored topics like aging, confidence, relationships, and that quiet shift many women feel when they start to feel unseen—but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

    Beverley’s message is strong and clear: you’re never too old, and it’s never too late. Whether you’re leading at work, navigating a personal reset, or wondering what comes next, this episode will encourage you to trust your instincts, reclaim your power, and shape your next chapter with intention.

    Highlights:

    • What really sparks midlife awakenings and how to embrace them with purpose.
    • The role emotional intelligence plays in strategic business and life moves.
    • How to rebuild confidence and clarity after career or relationship shifts.
    • Why high-performing women often sabotage themselves and how to stop.
    • The connection between curiosity, energy, and reinvention at any age.

  • Chris Bogue Shares the Secret to Authentic Content That Converts | RR311

    Video isn’t just about showing up—it’s about showing who you really are.

    I had the opportunity to sit down with Chris Bogue, improv performer, video coach, and creator of The Pattern Breaker. Chris brings a fresh, comedic edge to business videos on LinkedIn, helping people ditch stiff scripts and start making real, human connections through short, engaging content. We talk about how improv shapes authentic messaging, why so many people overthink their videos, and how asking your audience one simple question can spark a whole wave of meaningful content.

    Chris shares smart, low-pressure strategies to stop the scroll, build trust, and create videos that feel like conversations—not commercials. If video content feels overwhelming or fake to you, this episode might just change the way you think about showing up online.

    Highlights:

    • A simple 3-part framework to create videos that feel real and engaging.
    • How to “yes, and” your audience to co-create more authentic content.
    • Why your video hook matters more than your background or camera gear.
    • The improv mindset that helps you relax and connect with your audience.
    • What it really means to blend value (the broccoli) with entertainment (the cheese).

  • Sell Less, Connect More, and Raise Your Rates with Confidence with John Ray | RR310

    Most people undercharge not because they’re greedy, but because they underestimate their true value.

    I had such an eye-opening conversation with John Ray—business advisor, pricing strategist, and author of The Generosity Mindset. We talked about why pricing is way more emotional than most people admit, and how confidence, perceived value, and intentional generosity all shape the way your business grows. John breaks down the common pricing traps entrepreneurs fall into (like hourly billing or selling from your own wallet), and how asking better questions can shift everything about how you show up and get paid.

    Whether you're a coach, consultant, or creative service provider, this episode will make you think differently about how you price your work and position your value. John's generous insights (true to his brand!) help you feel more confident charging what you're worth—and building relationships that actually last.

    Highlights:

    • Why your clients usually see more value in you than you see in yourself.
    • How generosity, when done with intention, leads to better pricing and deeper trust.
    • A new way to think about pricing based on transformation, not time.
    • What it really means to have a “value conversation” with clients.
    • Simple mindset shifts that make selling feel less awkward and more authentic.

  • Danielle Hutchinson on How to Write a Book That Feels Like You | RR309

    Some of the best business advice doesn’t come from a webinar or a pitch. It comes from a story only you can tell.

    I had the most energizing chat with Danielle Hutchinson, Chief Creative Officer at Authors on Mission and a storyteller at heart. Danielle helps entrepreneurs turn their message into books that sound like them—not a ghostwriter. She shares how honesty and vulnerability build stronger connections, and how even the messier parts of your story can become your most powerful tools. Her journey as a creative nomad adds a whole layer of inspiration to how she approaches writing and life.

    If you’ve ever thought about writing a book but didn’t know where to start—or worried your story wasn’t “big” enough—this conversation will give you permission to begin and the encouragement to keep going. It’s cozy, real, and packed with insights that just might get you putting words to page.

    Highlights:

    • The value of sharing both wins and lessons in your business storytelling.
    • Why great ghostwriting starts with a real connection, not a generic outline.
    • The mindset shift needed to stop overthinking and start writing.
    • Easy ways to start collecting your thoughts and experiences for a future book.
    • What AI can and can’t do when it comes to writing something real and human.

  • Leading Like a Visionary Without Losing the Details with Stephanie Allen | RR 308

    Great leaders don’t do it all—they know who to trust, how to delegate, and when to get out of the way.

    In this episode, I sit down with Stephanie Allen, a fractional COO and creator of the Panoramic Operations Roadmap, to unpack the behind-the-scenes magic that makes businesses scale smoothly. Stephanie helps visionary founders step away from the daily grind and lead with clarity and confidence. We talk about what it really means to be a second-in-command, how to build trust with a team, and how great communication (not micromanagement) drives performance.

    From systems to strategy to leadership dynamics, Stephanie brings smart, grounded advice for anyone running or building a team. Whether you’re struggling to delegate, feeling stuck in the weeds, or trying to grow without burning out—this episode will give you a fresh, honest look at what sustainable growth actually takes.

    Highlights:
