Designing a career you love includes getting clear about what you like doing.

You find out what you love doing and if it works by actually doing them.

But how do you find time in your busy schedule for these side projects?

I'm a full-time breadwinning mom and primary caregiver to our 2 kids.

I also have my own dreams and goals I'm working on every day.

This means I've got to be creative about optimizing my time and energy.

Listen to this week's episode where I share how I maintain a daily writing practice.

This daily practice is how I consistently post on LinkedIn, record a podcast like this and send a weekly newsletter.

If you've got something you've been wanting to do but just can't find the time, this episode is for you!

Remember to rate and leave a review if you enjoyed this. Thank you!

In this episode, I explain my definition of consistency that's enabled me to grow my business since 2018 through ups and downs while handling a full plate of responsibilities as a full-time working mom.

I share my simple consistency formula that anyone can implement to keep going and never give up on their dreams.

This formula is how I stay adaptable through different seasons of my life to continue showing up for my business.

This episode was a long awaited one. My guest is LinkedIn Top Voice, Niharikaa Kaur Sodhi. If you’re on LinkedIn, you probably know who she is. Her program, Summit 21, featured other heavyweights like Tim Denning, Justin Welsh, Ankur Warikoo and more. 

Niharikaa’s phenomenal growth has inspired many people building a solopreneur lifestyle. This episode is packed with her valuable wisdom and experience transitioning from a corporate job into becoming a self-employed solopreneur today.

Here’s a snapshot of what we discussed:

• Her journey to self-employment since age 25 in 2021
• How her accidental building-in-public experiment catapulted her growth
• Her mindful approach to content creation - it’s so much easier than you think
• Finding your niche and writing about it instead of stressing over it
• Mindset and gratitude practices to cultivate solution-focused thinking rather than anxiety
• Advice for working moms with a full schedule aspiring to grow a business on the side
• New projects she’s working on as she ventures into new and unchartered territory

What I love most about Niharikaa is her openness to try new things and share publicly about it, regardless of how they turn out. I’m sure you’ll learn a ton in this episode. When you do, share your key takeaways with Niharikaa and me by tagging us on LinkedIn:

In this episode, I chat about how to overcome the fears and doubts that hold you back from growing your business. 

It's a question I got on one of my LinkedIn posts and something I too grappled with when I first started practising listening to my inner wisdom for guidance.

I share my process of how to distinguish between rational fears that protect you and irrational fears that keep you small. 

You can also treat this episode as a mini guided meditation session because I take you through a powerful process to move past fear and get to a point where you're certain and confident about what to do next.

I hope it's one that you enjoy and return to every time something scares you as you grow into the next level of your business.

When you're a busy working mom growing a business on the side, it's all about trying something new and experimenting.

Often, typical business building advice don't work under your circumstances.

You need to adapt and improvise - that requires you to follow your curiosity and try something new sometimes. 

If you find this scary to do, then today's podcast episode is for you!

I recently tried a crystal sound healing and chakra balancing session when I was in Bali. I'd never tried this before, but it seemed interesting so I decided to give it a go.

I share more details about it in my podcast, what I got from it, and also:

• a previous business experiment that on the surface looks like it led to really bad outcomes
• why I'll always still follow my curiosities to try and experiment despite this
• what to do if you're feeling fearful or hesitant about trying something new

I hope this gives you ideas and inspiration to go do that thing you've been thinking about!
