Today, I’m diving into a topic close to my heart—money. It’s a complex but powerful tool, especially in the hands of ambitious female entrepreneurs. At KLC, our mission is clear: we’re here to help 1,000 inspiring women cross their next million-dollar milestone each year. I want you to understand why that milestone matters for your mission and how money, when used with intention, can be the fuel that propels you toward a life-first business—one that enriches your wealth, health, impact, and freedom.

Money is essential, yes—but it’s also deeply personal. I get it; many women feel ashamed or uncertain when it comes to managing money, largely because society has kept us in the dark about financial literacy. But money isn’t something we should hide from. It’s a tool to fuel dreams, create opportunities, and make an impact. And it’s worth breaking through any limiting beliefs or negative associations you may have around it.

In this episode, I share my own journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship and the lessons I’ve learned about valuing myself and my work. I’ve come to believe that a healthy money mindset isn’t just about dollars—it’s about knowing your worth, and recognizing that money flows from the value you bring to the world. I want to encourage you to get honest about your beliefs around money, because the way you think about it will shape the results you create.

I hope today’s episode inspires you to reflect on your own relationship with money. Let’s work together to build a confident money mindset, one step at a time. And remember, if you need support, I’m here for you. Let’s continue to elevate, together.

Enjoy!

With the 2024 presidential election right around the corner, there’s a lot of emotion and uncertainty in the air. But I’m here to tell you that preparing for the future isn’t about knowing what’s coming — it’s about how we show up today.

In this solo episode I’m sharing my personal perspective on navigating this chaotic landscape and how I’m guiding clients at KLC to stay centered in times of flux. We’ll cover three core areas: understanding the energy of what’s happening around us, my predictions for consumerism in our AI-driven world, and tools you can use to navigate both personally and professionally through these turbulent times.

If you've been feeling that everything around you is buzzing with nervous energy, you’re not alone. There’s a lot of noise, and sometimes it feels like the only sane choice is to slow down and focus on what really matters. I’m reminded daily that in a high-paced, AI-powered world, the true differentiator is connection. In fact, I’m betting that while AI speeds up transactions, real success will come to those who slow down and build genuine relationships.

Staying committed to your craft and being grounded can help you navigate through the stress and maintain resilience in business. Because while we can’t control what tomorrow brings, we can choose how we show up today.
