Have you ever felt like you were just doing it all, no matter if you were delegating as much as you possibly could, no matter if you were hiring all of the proper people, you still felt like you were in the hamster wheel? Same. I am talking a little bit. The mental shift that changed it all in my business.

And I'd like to walk you through this journey because I think it's important for us as women to understand why we feel like that. Why do we feel like we need to be doing it all? And sometimes, right?

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just run your business how you wanted? Wouldn’t it be even better if you were treated like you matter and were competent in your 9to5?

I think so too!

Working in a corporation can be a mixed experience. On one hand, a company hires you for your expertise, but on the other you have to fight to prove that you are competent. What is left is you getting up the gumption to leave corporate but those feelings of imposter syndrome and always looking for approval come with you. They are like a little shadow that creeps around.

In this episode, I walk you through my experience and how we can get you to the other side of that thinking.If you are feeling like you are lacking what it takes to run a business because of the experiences you have had in the past, I am here to give you some cheerleading and tell you different!

Tune in and you’ll discover:

• Things that hold us back that we don’t often think of.

“But embodying this word courageous means that I have to step out and be someone that is living so authentically and be so open to change” - Kallai Plummer

How would it feel if you chose one word in 2023 that was the focal point of all of your goals? What word could you describe where you have been, the accomplishments you have made and where you want to go? What if that word was not something you chose but that was chosen for you? 

Would you still embrace it?

This year, I am choosing to use a one word focus instead of setting big granular goals that I found made me feel worse instead of better in 2022. Choosing this word was not something that was picked out of thin air, but rather, me digging deep to find what is next.

In this episode, you’ll learn everything you need to find your own word by asking yourself some reflection questions and some questions that set you up for seeking what word you can match against your smaller goals to achieve your desires.

Tune in now and you’ll discover:

• Why I spent January decluttering and “weeding” out my life.
• My experience with the one word focus.
• My one word for the year (and maybe years to come)

Highlights:

01:26 The craziness of December / January Organization

04:24 Last years goals and the failures

06:26 Journalling my accomplishments

10:44 One word focus

14:03 Nina Obier’s One Word Focus Class

14:58 Questions we worked through

Being a mom in transition is hard. It is the transition from full time mom to empty nester. I am breaking down how I am doing in this process in hopes that if you are walking this path too or going to be walking it soon, that you are not alone. 

I also encourage you to try new things in this episode. Transition is hard and transitioning as a mom is especially hard.
