“You are not inadequate. You are not incompetent. And you are definitely not stuck!”
— Julie Greenham
Are you feeling stuck in your business? Is there something inside you that’s holding you back… and you can’t quite seem to shake it?
The feeling may come up when you’re trying to implement something new, or it could come up while you’re working toward a big goal. Generally, this feeling comes up during the process of breaking our larger actions down into smaller tasks.
This feeling of being stuck? It can derail us, make us lose our momentum, and even affect our motivation — no matter how important or exciting our goals are!
While all entrepreneurs can experience this at some point or another on their journey, creatives and perfectionists are especially vulnerable.
Through my coaching business, I’ve helped many of my clients work through this hurdle, and have come up with a three-pronged strategy to help them overcome it.
Hit play on this episode to learn how to combat procrastination, overwhelm, fear of incompetence, and task fatigue.
In this episode, you’ll discover:

Poor sleep affects our energy, productivity, emotions, motivation, how we learn, and the way we show up in our businesses and with the people that we care about.
But did you know you can take steps during the day to help you make the most of the energy you have — and actually rest better at night?
By learning how to optimize your energy levels and get better sleep, you increase your ability to concentrate, better regulate your emotions, and reduce your chances of burnout!
My guest for this episode is Paige Purvis, an integrative nutrition health coach and founder of Radiant Self. Paige helps her clients improve their sleep quality, achieve hormonal balance, and increase their energy. “I believe sleep is your superpower,” Paige says. “It’s so impactful to all areas of your life and also most of what you’re doing in the day is impactful to your sleep.”
While sleeping for just six hours is often seen as something entrepreneurs should be proud of, getting a full night’s sleep isn’t lazy — it helps you perform at your best and give your business the concentration and productivity it deserves.
How much more effective would you be if you were well-rested and ready to take on any challenge? Listen to this episode and find out!

“The way that I learn the most is by taking action.”
— Julie Greenham
This is the second part of a series where I talk about the missteps or wrong turns that I took when building my first business — and how the lessons I learned from them helped me grow and scale my current business more quickly.
If you haven’t yet listened to episode #50, I recommend that you check it out!
There isn’t a single entrepreneur out there who has built their business perfectly from the ground up. No matter your industry or the size of your business, you will make decisions that will slow your growth, set you back, or cost you money.
And that is completely okay.
For one thing, these mistakes do not define us or our businesses.
For another thing, they’re actually valuable opportunities for us to learn.
As I said in episode #50, the only real failure is giving up on your business because of a mistake.
In this episode, I’m going to talk about 10 missteps I took while running my first business, including waiting too long to ask for help, not taking advantage of timesaving tech, and using business education as a way to procrastinate.
I share my own missteps in these episodes because I want you to be able to learn from my mistakes, as I have. I’m actually grateful for them, because my current business wouldn’t be half as successful without these valuable lessons!
Ready to hear everything I did wrong — and how it all wound up just right? Then press play.

“Anyone who identifies as a woman has this sacred space that is filled with the shakti power. What I do is to really help women learn how to access that and how to trust it so that they can use it as a guiding force.”
— Carla Wainwright
My guest for this episode, Carla Wainwright, is a sexual empowerment coach and creatrix who helps women reconnect with the feminine energy, or shakti.
We’re not taught as girls and women to connect with our feminine energy of creation. As women living in a masculinized society, we are encouraged to conform to systems and ways of being that align with masculine energies and viewpoints.
Many of us do that very well, but as Carla says, “We really miss that element of connecting with our inner feminine wisdom and from the wisdom of the body. When we’re able to connect with that part of ourselves, it really allows our creativity to flow so much more freely… the generation of ideas becomes so much more vibrant.”
Instead of relying only on your mind, you can learn how to listen to and interpret the information constantly offered to you by your body.
By tapping into the wellspring of power within ourselves, we’re able to work in alignment and run our businesses in ways that bring us more ease and pleasure!

“One focus and one thing at a time will get you much, much further.”
— Julie Greenham
Where have you taken a wrong turn in your entrepreneurial journey?
We’ve all taken a wrong turn (or half a dozen of them). These don’t have to be catastrophic wrong turns. Many of these are just minor detours or a shortcut that didn’t quite work out the way we thought it would.
As we work on building our businesses, we are always discovering new things that we would have done very differently if we could go back and live it all over again!
At the time of these wrong turns, we often view them as failures.
I don’t want to minimize or dismiss that feeling, because we often do feel quite bad about these wrong turns at the time.
But rather than failures, they’re actually very useful opportunities to learn and grow.
The only real failure is giving up on your business because of a mistake.
I’ve definitely learned from the choices I made in my first business, from focusing on the wrong aspects of my business early on to paying too little attention to my numbers to asking others for feedback on my pricing.
By applying those lessons in my current business, I’ve been able to grow and scale more quickly.
I’m happy to share these lessons in the hope that they’ll help my listeners build prosperous businesses that are aligned with their values!

“I always knew from the time I was little, honestly, that there was something in me that I was meant to bring into the world, and I followed that.”
— Cailen Ascher
What would your life look like if you had the power to choose your ideal schedule?
Cailen Ascher is a personal growth and business coach with a unique selling point. She’s managed to build a wildly successful business… with a 3-day work week.
Cailen set the goal of a 3-day work week in order to spend more time with her family and had no clue if her idea would actually work — but she knew she wanted to try. She started getting her first high-ticket clients in 2015, and was earning six figures a year by the next year.
Along the way, Cailen learned how to prioritize important activities, batch tasks, create intentional time boundaries, and identify areas where she could outsource.
“It’s just been this really cool journey of really embracing the idea that you can create the schedule that feels good, work on the hours that feel right and appropriate for you… and still create success that you desire,” she explains. “You don’t have to subscribe to someone else’s version of what it takes to be successful.”
So, how can you create a schedule that perfectly balances your business ambitions and personal needs?
When designing your ideal schedule, it’s important to know your goals. Cailen advises the members of her program to get really clear on their priorities, first and foremost.
Let’s get started!

“I did not like saying no at first. I did not know how to say it. I would make up excuses, I would sometimes even lie… because I was a people-pleaser. And I didn’t want to hurt other people’s feelings.”
— Julie Greenham
Do you have trouble saying no to certain people or certain requests?
Do you find yourself agreeing to tasks that you find frustrating, unpleasant, or take up too much of your time while providing no value to your own life or business?
For introverts, it can often be difficult to assert boundaries in the moment. Many of us are also people-pleasers, which makes it twice as challenging.
Many of us feel that we have to lie or make up excuses… but learning that “no” is a complete sentence can be game-changing.
Especially when you’re a business owner.
When you are stuck in a pattern of saying yes to everything, you are giving away your time. There are only 24 hours in a day, and you need to guard those hours and use them on the things that will help you grow your own business and build value and joy in your own life.
The first step? Defining and identifying the money-generating activities, hobbies, courses, and collaborations that will help you on the path toward your own personal and professional goals.
Remember: whenever you say yes to something, you say no to something else.
Saying no is definitely a skill that you need to build and practice. I promise you, once you put the work in, it WILL get easier and you will feel less guilty about it!
In this episode of The Quiet Powerhouse, I share my best tips for getting comfortable with setting boundaries (and provide some mantras to help you build up your voice)!

“At the end of the day, our brain can either work for us or against us — it’s up to us to program that.”
— Michelle Risi
Michelle Risi doesn’t have the aggressive approach of most real estate agents. She avoided selling because she didn’t feel it was a good fit for her introversion.
Yet she was named one of the Top 50 women in Canadian real estate by Real Estate Professionals magazine.
Michelle found her niche developing education and training in the industry.
Her Aligned Method is based on neuroscience research and self-discovery throughout her professional journey, which took her from feeling like she didn’t fit the industry and being afraid to explore the client-facing roles to managing her own brokerage.
“That’s where the Aligned Method really came from,” she explains. “It’s basically the process for clearing everything that’s standing in your way — which is usually the mindset blocks — and really just being able to move forward to where you want to go, as opposed to operating out of fear.”
After she started seeing incredible results, she realized that there was something there — and she needed to share it.
“The brain’s job is not to achieve success. That’s not what its purpose is. Its purpose is to keep us safe,” Michelle explains. “Anything that feels new, threatening, uncomfortable is going to set off the alarm bells… that’s when we start engaging in things like procrastination or perfectionism or comparing ourselves to other people, because that slows us down.”
In this episode, you’ll discover:
About Michelle Risi
Michelle was named one of the Top 50 women in Canadian real estate by Real Estate Professionals magazine, began her career over 20 years ago, and has served in multiple roles to help grow one of Canada’s largest real estate franchises. She is the broker/owner of Royal LePage Connect Realty and on the Forbes Real Estate Council. She is a speaker, podcaster, and CEO of the Aligned Agent Academy.
