Episode #19: Welcome to the She Builds Show, I'm your host, Stefanie Olson. The title of today's episode is Worrywart. It's the definition of fear, an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous likely to cause pain or a threat, the definition of worry is to give way to anxiety or unease, allow one's mind to dwell on difficulty or trouble. The definition of dread is to anticipate with great apprehension or fear, fear, worry, dread. These emotions have riddled me the past few weeks, I think the one I struggle with the most is worry, my mind ruminates, so for every possible way things could go wrong, these last few weeks have been so stressful, I have been in complete overwhelm mode. We're growing as a business, don't have enough people to do all the things, and we're preparing to put two spec comes on the market, and I am a perfectionist, every detail matters to me getting the house on the market and… Perfect condition is a feat. The final touches, the landscaping, the plants, the cleaning, the painting, the staging of photos, just the listing description, the perfect marketing plan, the open house schedule, I was consumed with the things to do and get done, and then the worry hit, what if they don't sell? What if I really don't know what I'm doing, what if I'm wrong about my gift, my calling. What if they sit on the market, these thoughts consumed to me and turned me into a worrywart. But then, I surrendered and it all changed.

Episode #17: Welcome to the She Builds Show, I'm your host, Stefanie Olson and today, we are sharing the most listened to episode of the She Build Show. I want to wish you a very happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing your time with me each week.

This episode is about being a mom, what it's like to balance life with working and how it's just messy. My biggest problem is that honestly, I'm too good at too many things. I'm just extremely competent at most things you asked me to do aside from creating your website, I'm pretty capable. And honestly, this can be one of my biggest weaknesses. I let what I'm competent at and what I'm excellent at overtake my genius. We're all good at certain things. We're all great or excellent and other things. And then there's our genius. What nobody else can do. There are four words that are the entrepreneur's ultimate downfall. I'll do it myself. That's my downfall. This is what keeps me from being able to balance life. These four words, I'll do it myself.

Episode #14: Welcome to the She Builds Show, I'm your host, Stefanie Olson. Today, I want to talk about the DIYer, the do-it-yourself. The title of today's she build show episode is DIY or NOT. When you look at it, it kinda looks like to die or not, which may be fitting. I want to run through the steps of what it means to take on a simple, let's say, bathroom remodel, and if you want to do it yourself, and what that would encompass. Most homeowners stare at their ugly bathroom and they just dream, they dream about the sledge hammer going right into that ugly tile. You know what I mean? You just want to destroy it, you want to make it disappear. But, 90% of construction is planning, so I want to take you through the planning aspects that would need occur to do a bathroom remodel.
