I didn't realize how close I was to burning out until the smallest decisions started feeling heavy. What to reply. What to delegate. What to eat for dinner. 🙃 If you've ever felt mentally exhausted but couldn't quite explain why, there's a good chance decision fatigue was quietly running the show. In this episode, I'm sharing how it almost broke me, the sneaky signs I ignored for way too long, and the simple shifts that helped me get my clarity, creativity, and spark back, without burning my business to the ground. If you've been feeling foggy, stuck, or just not like yourself lately… hit play.

I made a major shift in how I hire, moving away from skill-first decisions and toward character-first leadership. I'll walk you through what wasn't working when I prioritized resumes and experience, the costly lessons that forced me to rethink my approach, and how hiring for character has completely changed my team, culture, and peace as a leader. If you've ever hired someone "on paper" who didn't work out in real life, this episode will give you a clearer, more sustainable way to build a team you actually trust.

I'm sharing the side of being a working mom that rarely gets talked about… the positive, life-giving parts that don't always make it into the conversation. Beyond the exhaustion and juggle, there are unexpected strengths, perspective shifts, and quiet wins that have shaped how I lead, work, and live. If you're a working mom who loves her kids and her career (and sometimes feels conflicted about both), this episode will feel honest, encouraging, and deeply validating.

I'm breaking down the number one thing I've seen quietly destroy team culture, often without leaders realizing it's happening. I'll walk you through what this culture killer looks like in real life, why it spreads so fast, and exactly how I address it before it turns into disengagement, resentment, or turnover. If you want a team that feels healthy, aligned, and genuinely enjoyable to lead, this episode will help you spot the issue early and deal with it in a clear, confident way.

I'm pulling back the curtain on my very first year of business and sharing three unexpected lessons I wish someone had told me sooner. These aren't the shiny, highlight-reel takeaways, they're the real, behind-the-scenes truths that shaped how I work, lead, and make decisions today. If you're in your early stages of entrepreneurship (or honestly, even if you're years in and still figuring things out), this conversation will help you feel less alone, more grounded, and clearer on what actually matters in that first year.

You know those little things in business that just click? The tools that save you hours, the habits that keep you grounded, and the mindsets that quietly 10x your results? In this episode, I'm spilling all my current obsessions in business: the exact softwares, systems, Instagram accounts, and thought patterns that are helping me make more money with less scatter-brain syndrome. Think of it like a behind-the-scenes peek into what's actually working for me right now as a CEO, mom, and leader who's obsessed with efficiency and peace.

I've made my fair share of hiring mistakes, the kind that leave you lying awake at night wondering, "How did I miss that?" Over time though, I've learned that certain red flags will always reveal themselves early… if you know what to look for. In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the 4 hiring red flags that instantly earn a "no" from me. These are the subtle (but dangerous) signs I've learned to never ignore, and the ones that could save you months of stress, team drama, and expensive do-overs.

What if productivity wasn't about doing more, but about creating space to actually live more? In this episode, we're diving into why the entire world should adopt a 4-day work week (and yes, why you should too!). From higher creativity to happier teams to less burnout, the data, and my own experience, prove that working less doesn't mean achieving less. It means working smarter, leading better, and finally having the energy to enjoy the life you've been building so hard for.
