When you're an ambitious, high achiever, you'll always have goals. Even after you've achieved a goal, the next one almost immediately appears.

The tendency is to focus on the gap between where you are now versus where you want to be already.

But this just makes it harder and a less enjoyable process as you're doing the work to get to where you want to be.

Listen to this week's episode where I share how you can fall in love with the process and enjoy being in the gap between where you are now and where you want to go. 

I share about this in my Starter Guide for Career Moms, among other foundational topics I'd tell my younger self when I became a mom about building a career while being the best mom you can be.

As a working mom, it's all about having boundaries right?

We've heard this 100x already. 

So why are working women and moms still struggling with work-life balance?

It comes down to what we know and what we do.

This week, I talk about one thing that helps me do all that I do as a full-time working mom, wife, and business owner.

Boundaries. 

There's a world of difference between having them (what we know) and enforcing them (what we do).

Having them is easy. Enforcing them? Not so easy.

Listen to this episode for some tips on how to enforce boundaries without feeling bad or upsetting people you care about.

This is the last episode of a series of women I've invited on the podcast to share their stories building their businesses.

In this final guest episode, I chat with career coach, Keji Ogunnaike.

Keji is more than just a career coach though because she works with her clients holistically. She shares how our personal lives can limit or propel our careers. A career coach can help you navigate these without judgement that frees you to talk about topics that can be hard to discuss at the workplace.

What I love most about Keji is her positivity, abundant mindset, and practical advice she shares to help you move through difficult career transitions so you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

In this episode, I go against conventional wisdom and suggest you give up and quit.

Yes, you read that right.

You absolutely must give up and quit if you want to be successful.

On everything that distracts you from building the business and life you want, that is.

When you give up and quit on everything that gets in the way of building your dream, that's how you win.

Are you ready?

Listen to this episode to get the practical actions I share on how to give up and quit well.

Are you worried about promoting your side business online?

This is a common fear those of us in 9-5 jobs have when starting a business on the side.

• How to market your business and promote your services or products?
• How to be visible on LinkedIn where your bosses and colleagues hang out?
• Should you have 2 separate accounts?
• What to do about conflicts of interest?

These are some questions I tackle head on in this episode as an entrepreneur with a HR job no less!

If this is something you're grappling with and want help figuring out how to navigate, then book a call with me to chat!

After a year's break from my podcast, I'm excited to be back with my first solo episode.

I share why I 'gave up' on my podcast and why I'm back.

In this episode, I talk about how building a business takes a lot longer and is a lot harder than most people are prepared for.

That's why most will give up.

If you want to be like the minority of those who succeed, listen to my 6 tips so you can stay in the long game and make your success inevitable!
