The Seasonal Edit

What if the key to a fulfilling, joyful life isn’t found in big, milestone moments — but in your ordinary, everyday routines? In this week’s episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast, I’m joined by Emily Reuschel, a coach, speaker, and host of the Gather in Growth podcast. Together, we dive into what it really means to build a life you love around your "average Tuesday" — the mundane, unglamorous days that actually make up most of our lives.

If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of productivity, chasing goal after goal but still feeling misaligned or burnt out, this episode is your permission slip to pause, reflect, and realign. Emily gets real about her journey from burnt-out teacher to thriving entrepreneur — and the messy, beautiful process of shedding society’s expectations to uncover what truly matters. She shares how redefining success, embracing imperfection, and leaning into life’s seasons transformed her personal life and business.

If you’re tired of feeling like you have to earn your worth through hustle and achievement, this conversation will meet you where you are. Tune into the full episode of The Business Edit™ Podcast to hear Emily’s empowering insights and walk away with a fresh perspective on living, working, and dreaming — starting with your next average Tuesday.

As a business owner, stepping away from your business—even for something as important as maternity leave—can feel overwhelming. How do you keep things running smoothly without you? Will clients leave? Will your business suffer? These are the questions so many women in business struggle with when preparing for maternity leave. That’s why I’m so excited to have Alyson Caffrey on The Business Edit Podcast today.

Alyson is the founder of Master Maternity Leave and an operations consultant who helps business owners create space to step away from their businesses—whether for maternity leave, a sabbatical, or simply to regain their time freedom. After her own experience of struggling to take maternity leave, she developed a framework to help other women do it differently—without the stress, burnout, or fear of business collapse.

In this episode, Alyson and I dive into everything you need to know about planning your maternity leave as a business owner, including how to set up systems that allow your business to run without you, common mindset blocks that keep entrepreneurs stuck, and why creating space to step away might actually grow your business in the long run. Even if you’re not planning a maternity leave anytime soon, this conversation is packed with valuable insights for any business owner who wants to create a more sustainable, life-first business.

If you’ve ever wondered how to step away from your business without everything falling apart, this episode is for you! Tune in now to The Business Edit™ Podcast.

Have you ever felt like you’re constantly chasing an impossible ideal—trying to be an amazing mom, run a thriving business, maintain a fulfilling marriage, stay healthy, and somehow find time for yourself? If so, you’re not alone. The question of whether women can “have it all” is a hot topic, and in this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m sharing my honest take on it. Spoiler alert: my answer might not be what you expect.

This conversation is deeply personal for me. I’ve wrestled with this question for years—long before I became a mom—but especially now, in this season of life. There’s so much conflicting messaging out there. On one hand, we’re told we can (and should) do it all. On the other, we hear that something has to give, and we have to choose between our personal and professional lives. Neither perspective has ever fully resonated with me, and I’ve spent a lot of time processing where I land on this.

In this episode, I’m sharing a more sustainable way to think about balance, trade-offs, and building a fulfilling life that aligns with your values and current season.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at both business and motherhood, or if you’re tired of feeling like you need to do more to keep up, this episode is for you. I hope you walk away with clarity, encouragement, and practical steps to redefine success on your terms. Tune in now to The Business Edit Podcast for this candid and honest take on what it really means to "have it all"!

The more I learn about productivity, minimalism, and slow living, the more I realize that life isn’t going to slow down on its own—you have to choose to slow down. In this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m kicking off a brand-new series all about seasonal living—how to live intentionally in each season of the year and align your life with natural rhythms. And since we’re in the thick of winter, that's where we're going to start!

Winter is usually seen as something to endure, but what if we flipped that mindset? What if winter became a season to embrace—a time to rest, reflect, and recharge? As business owners, it’s so easy to stay stuck in hustle mode, but leaning into seasonal living can help you create space for what actually matters without feeling like you have to overhaul your entire life. In this episode, I’m sharing what wintering well really looks like, what seasonal living means, and why slowing down can actually help you feel more present and grounded—without sacrificing progress in your business.

If you’ve ever found yourself just counting down the days until spring, feeling like life is running on autopilot, or struggling to be fully present in the moment, this episode is for you. We’re talking about shifting your mindset, embracing coziness and connection, and making winter a season you look forward to instead of just tolerating.

Tune in to The Business Edit Podcast for a practical and inspiring conversation on how to align your life and business with the rhythms of the season—and start living more intentionally today.

If you’ve ever felt like email marketing is a one-way street—just blasting out emails with no real connection on the other end—this episode is for you! I’m kicking off an exciting relationship-based marketing series with none other than expert copywriter, Jenny Roth. She’s here to break down how to transform your email marketing from cold and transactional to warm and relational.

As service providers, we know that people hire us because of who we are—not just what we do. But marketing our services while staying true to ourselves (and without feeling salesy) can feel like an impossible challenge. That’s why building relationships through your marketing efforts is the most effective way to create trust, shorten the time it takes for clients to book, and ultimately grow a sustainable business that doesn’t rely on social media.

In this conversation, Jenny shares actionable strategies to make your email list feel like a community, how to create engaging newsletters people actually want to open, and why email marketing should be the after-party to your social media presence. Plus, we dive into how to build your email list in ways that feel aligned, natural, and effective—so you can connect with the right people without constantly chasing new leads.

Whether you're struggling to show up in your emails, wondering how to get more engagement, or just looking for fresh inspiration, this episode is filled with invaluable insights. Tune in to this conversation on The Business Edit Podcast and start turning your email list into your most valuable business asset!

Running a business is all about making strategic decisions—not just about what to do, but also what not to do. In this episode of The Business Edit Podcast, I’m sharing the five things I’m intentionally not doing in 2025 to create more space, focus, and freedom in my business. After coming back from maternity leave last fall, I realized the importance of refining my processes and letting go of tasks that, while helpful, weren’t yielding the highest return on investment (ROI). If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your to-do list or questioned whether your efforts are truly paying off, this episode is for you.

Tune in as I get real about saying no to strategies that no longer serve me, streamlining my workflows, and leaning into habits and systems that allow me to focus on what truly matters. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to declutter your business or permission to let go of what’s no longer working, you’ll find it in this episode.
