My kids recently needed to raise $410 for a school activity they were SO excited about, so I told them I'd contribute $200 if they could figure out how to make the other $210. After a million ideas, they landed on a soda sale — taking out a little "mom loan," setting up on our busy street, and trying to get cars to stop and buy.

It was such a simple little business experiment, but they ended up learning some very real lessons about rejection, failure, resilience, hard work, and figuring out what actually works. And honestly, it was a great reminder for me, too. In this episode, I'm talking about how we can take those same lessons into our businesses — especially when it comes to marketing and selling in 2026. What do our ideal customers actually want? How do they want to be sold to? Where do they need our help? And what might we need to approach with fresh eyes?

I was SO MAD at my computer for being slow… until I realized she is NINE years old. 😂 I could've sworn I bought her yesterday! And it got me thinking about how everything in our life and business ages — our technology, our software, our systems, our courses, our stuff — and how important it is to regularly let go, clean up, and simplify.

When we're constantly surrounded by things we've accumulated over the years, it can be harder for our creativity to move freely and for us to see what's actually needed right now. In this episode, I'm talking about creating more space in our businesses by archiving, releasing, cleaning, and simplifying what has served its purpose so we can make room for what wants to emerge next — and make us money right now.

What does fixing a broken chair have to do with building a $300K+ business? Apparently, a LOT. 😂

When one of the legs on my living room chair broke right before my daughter's friends were coming over, I decided I was going to figure out how to fix it. What followed was an hour of unbolting parts, taking them to Home Depot, asking for help, buying something I didn't actually need, questioning the advice I was given, and eventually realizing that the original problem wasn't even the real problem.

And honestly? That's entrepreneurship. In this episode, I'm talking about the power of tenacity, positive self-belief, and simply trusting that you'll find a solution—even when you don't know what the solution is yet. We'll talk about why we sometimes switch coaches, platforms, or offers too quickly, why "wasted" time and money are actually part of the problem-solving process, and why you're allowed to push back on advice when you know the context of your business and life better than anyone else. I believe this willingness to stay with the problem and keep figuring it out may be one of the most valuable—and profitable—skills an entrepreneur can have in the next decade.

I'm in the middle of hiring a new project manager, and I recently had to ask one of the women I'm considering to push our start date back by two weeks. Not because I don't like her or because I'm flaky — I'm just knee-deep in self-project-managing right now, and it is NOT my strong suit 😂. But it got me thinking about how quickly we can make up stories about what someone else's actions mean.

And your almost-buyers are doing the exact same thing. Except they're often 5x more overwhelmed than you are. They're stressed about the problem they need you to solve, questioning themselves, and wondering if they'll ever figure it out. So if you're nervous to send the sales email, ask the objection question, or follow up with someone who hasn't responded, I want you to remember: they probably need you to make the invitation even more than you think. In this episode, I'm giving you two bold cash-generating actions to take this week — one for your cold-ish leads and one for your warm leads.

In this episode, I'm sharing my MADRID HIGHLIGHTS! These are the moments, memories, and experiences from our month in Spain that I know I'll be carrying with me forever. From the cooking class and language school to our bike tour and the beautiful gardens we discovered, I really feel like we struck gold with so many of the experiences we chose.

We stayed in Madrid for the month but also took three little train trips to Granada, Valencia, and Segovia. I'm sharing some of my favorite things we did, what I would absolutely recommend if you're planning a trip to Madrid, and what it was like to step away from my normal life and work for an ENTIRE MONTH. Plus, I'm talking about what it felt like to leave—and then come back home again. Would you ever consider living in another country for a month? I'd love to know where!

After a week of exploring Madrid with my kids and getting to know their teachers at language school, I finally felt peaceful enough to venture out on my own. I chose El Retiro Park—and I am SO glad I brought my walking shoes. I was completely blown away by the sheer vastness and beauty of the park, especially when I stumbled upon the rose garden. Walking through the entrance and seeing roses of every color surrounding me brought me to immediate tears. It was meticulously cared for, but somehow every variety and color was allowed to exist together.

That experience reminded me of something I've felt so many times in business: sometimes we think we know what's possible, what things are supposed to look like, or what our path has to be—and then suddenly, WOW, we discover an entirely new reality. I believe we grow and change at the speed of our willingness to see and experience new realities, beliefs, and paradigms. In this episode, I'm taking you into the rose garden with me and talking about what it can look like to open yourself up to big, abundant shifts in your business this fall.

I got food poisoning at the airport right before our flight home from Madrid, and those two hours on the plane gave me a HUGE flashback to moments in my life when I was enduring something I really didn't need to endure. It took me right back to the moments before I quit my job, filed for divorce, and even made the much smaller decision to switch project management software after using the same one for 10 years.

I'm incredibly resilient—and you probably are too. But sometimes we can misuse our ability to endure intensity, staying in situations long after our bodies are telling us it's time for something different. In this episode, I'm giving you a little tough love about what it actually takes to enter your most peaceful, profitable chapter of business yet—and why working less, including building a 3-day work week, requires us to become willing to let go of day-to-day intensity.

As I was unpacking my medical kit after nearly a month abroad, I realized something surprising: I hadn't used a single medication I'd carefully packed for myself or my kids. At first it felt unnecessary—but then I realized the packing had already done its job. It gave me the confidence to book the trip, get on the plane, and fully enjoy the experience because I knew I was prepared if something happened.

That same principle applies to business. Preparation matters—whether it's writing launch emails ahead of time, planning your content, or mapping out your quarter. But preparation isn't meant to lock us into a rigid plan. It's there to create freedom, allowing us to stay present and make better decisions in real time. In this episode, I'm introducing you to two business personas—Rose and Lily—and sharing why you actually need both if you want to scale your business with more ease, flexibility, and confidence.

Sometimes the biggest blessings in our lives don't arrive wrapped in certainty—they arrive disguised as an uncomfortable decision. During my time in Madrid, our air conditioning suddenly stopped working just as temperatures were expected to reach 102 degrees. I knew most people in Madrid lived without AC, and I knew I could stay. But something inside me told me it was time to make a different choice.

That decision led us to our dream apartment—one that became so much more than just a place to stay. It became an energetic shift, a reminder that making room for something better often requires letting go of what's familiar, even when it's "good enough." In this episode, I'm sharing the story behind that experience and inviting you to consider where you may be holding onto something that's preventing your next blessing, breakthrough, or business expansion from finding you.

Three years ago, I took my kids to Ireland and promised myself we'd make international travel a yearly tradition while they're still in this beautiful season of curiosity and wonder. But two years went by without booking another trip. When I finally got honest with myself, I realized it wasn't money or logistics holding me back—it was that travel felt overwhelming because I didn't have enough time or space to actually enjoy it.

In this episode, I share how that realization led me to book a month in Madrid instead of a rushed vacation, and how the same principle completely transformed my business years ago. Counterintuitively, giving myself more time to work—not less—helped me enjoy my business more, make better decisions, and ultimately build a million-dollar business without hustle. If you're craving more freedom, peace, and income, this episode will challenge everything you've been taught about working less.
