“What if it doesn’t work out? What if my circumstances change? What if people don’t like it?”

These are the kinds of questions that pop up when you’re worried about making the wrong decision. You desperately want to make it easier on yourself instead, feel more confident in your choices, and stop second-guessing yourself all the time! But you can’t help getting that anxious feeling when the time comes for the “big” decision.

However, you can fix this! If you want to free yourself from the anxiety of decision-making and have an easier time with it, the key is learning how to do it from an abundance perspective.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn how to make decisions from a place of trust and abundance instead of fear and scarcity. I’ll also reveal to you why doing this opens up so many possibilities, simplifies and speeds up everything, and is so much more fun!

4:20 - Why making decisions out of fear is holding you back and the importance of questioning why you’re making a decision

10:27 - How to avoid deciding out of fear and practice easier decision-making for yourself

14:25 - Why it’s so vital for you to make decisions from a place of abundance

18:21 - The importance of not deciding based on other people’s opinions and feeling confident about your choices

22:15 - The lack of second-guessing yourself that comes when you make decisions from a place of abundance

What are you making the facts about your business mean?

When you look back on what happened in your business over the last year, you create stories around the goals, aspirations, or milestones you hit or missed, but you might not understand how your perception of things can sometimes mislead you. By recognizing specific patterns, you can make balanced decisions, foster resilience, and drive business with clarity and confidence.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about four common thinking patterns that can skew your perspective, preventing you from seeing the full picture and adjusting your lens to reality. I’ll also give examples to illustrate each that you might find all too familiar as a female business owner.

3:56 - How you might let biased thinking affect what you see

5:40 - How you might make mountains out of molehills and emotionally distort things

7:40 - How you might overgeneralize and take things personally

9:21 - How black-and-white thinking and stories you tell yourself can skew your view

Think back to when you were a child. You looked at the adults around you and expected them to provide for you. You watched or listened to stories of Princes Charming and knights in shining armor saving the day. Then, when you became an adult yourself, you were expected to “leave childish things” behind.

But are you still expecting other people to meet your needs (like you’re stuck in some movie waiting for a partner to “complete you”)? Are you looking to others to fix something for you instead of helping you solve your problems? If so, let me help you take on the reins of responsibility here.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn my four-step process for meeting your own needs. I’ll also explain the gift that comes with higher needs and why fulfilling them yourself is so much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.

1:59 - Six things to listen for that’ll be explored in this episode

5:55 - Why your higher needs are a gift

8:29 - Why you shouldn’t expect other people to meet your needs (and the benefit it bestows to others)

13:47 - Step one: how to pay attention to and differentiate between your clean vs. dirty pain

17:29 - Step two: how to welcome the knowing of the pain you’re experiencing

21:50 - Step three: how to hold space for the solution to meet your needs to come to you

27:29 - Step four: how offering your complete self to the world can inspire you moving forward

You have 60,000 thoughts a day, but how many of them are intentional?

When you’re on autopilot, your brain dismisses options before you even have a chance to explore them and only accepts the ones that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. But there’s a better way to make better choices; you have to pause and engage your higher brain.

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn how to access all of your options and make better choices through intentional thinking.  I’ll teach you the process of searching for ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you.

7:16 - What you’re NOT doing that often causes you to miss all the options you have

10:14 - The value of brainstorming to generate ideas and options

14:30 - The importance of being open to ideas and solutions and why decision-making can be so hard

27:00 - My client Jill describes how she found space to solve her issues

You’ve got a ton on your plate right now, in both your business and personal life. It’s the fourth quarter; business might be picking up, you’re thinking about how you want to end this year and start the new one, and holiday festivities are just around the corner.

Perhaps at the beginning of this year, you even made a promise to yourself to get better at delegating. Yet, you’ve persisted in resisting, and that’s holding you back from growing and scaling. So why are you struggling so much with delegation?

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn three reasons why you resist delegating in your business and what you can do about it. I’ll also provide some examples of how these play out specifically for women entrepreneurs.

4:37 - How fear of losing control stops you from delegating

7:00 - How perfectionism stops you from delegation

9:35 - How time investment stops you from delegating

What is it really like to go on a business retreat?

You might experience the things that tend to immediately come to mind when thinking of the word “retreat.” Perhaps you have an image of cucumber slices over your eyes while getting a facial, or enjoying a massage at a spa, or tanning by the pool, or meditating on a beach somewhere.

But retreats with a specific focus offer something extra, something that can truly level up your life (and, in this case, your business). So what actually happens at retreats like the one for Runway to Freedom mastermind members?

In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn the four rewards you can receive by being part of a retreat like the one I offer. You’ll hear directly from some of the women about how they’ve benefited and what the experience is like, in their own words.

4:11 - Setting the beautiful scene and why retreats help you come up with your best ideas

7:13 - How our retreat was the right combination of work and play for the attendees

9:16 - How the retreat helped the women get in touch with themselves and what they love
