The Self Paid Club Podcast

I’m a breastfeeding mom of 2 under 2 AND an online business owner. This is a more personal episode where I’m answering some of your questions about my two birth stories, raising babies close in age, and growing my business in the midst of all the beautiful chaos. 

We're talking about the things I expected in motherhood, the things I didn't, and the reality of working from home with two little ones close by.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (2:17) Experiencing back-to-back pregnancies as a first time mom
• (5:28) My two birth stories and recovery (they aren’t Instagram-worthy magic, so prepare yourself)
• (17:38) The hardest parts of a small age gap and sharing your love with multiple kids
• (26:58) Growing an online business with babies, limited work time and shifting priorities
• (37:54) Reflecting on this wild season of life

Whether you're a parent, an entrepreneur, or just here for the birth stories, listen in for a behind-the-scenes glance at what this season of life looks like.

Do you find yourself waiting for January to start taking your goals seriously again? Or are you going hard throughout the remainder of Q4? Every October, people start acting like the year is basically over. Like it's time to coast through the holidays and wait until the new year to make their next big business move. But deciding you need a fresh calendar to make significant progress is a dangerous path to go down.

Today, we're talking about why Q4 isn't a waiting room for your business, how one focused decision can create more momentum than a giant catch-up plan, and what you can do right now to hit the ground running when January 1st arrives.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (4:57) Maintenance mode vs. carrying on the momentum
• (9:25) Big moves do not always equal complicated moves
• (12:06) The trap that has you chasing unfinished goals
• (13:42) A strategy I teach my clients about goal planning
• (14:49) How to ensure you’re not starting from zero in January

Listen in to discover how one meaningful decision can completely change the direction of your business before the year is over.

You want to make amounts of money that most people will never see in their lifetime. Then why aren’t you willing to make decisions that other people are unwilling to make? Today you’re getting a much-needed reality check: Wanting a different life and choosing differently are two very separate concepts.

I'm sharing why I chose not to get a traditional 9-5 while building my business, what going all in meant for me, and why building your life around everyone else's approval doesn’t work.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (2:12) What happened when I chose an unconventional path
• (5:29) Eliminating plan B in the name of success
• (8:05) Judgment and self-trust as an entrepreneur
• (10:49) Pairing different decisions with different actions
• (14:19) Matching today’s decisions with tomorrow’s vision

Listen in to rethink what it really takes to create extraordinary results — and identify one action you can take to start moving towards your biggest goal, too.

Episode Show Notes: https://samanthapeddleblog.com

Having our second baby in under a year forced me to look for ways to free up mental capacity in my business, so I can give more of myself to my family every day. What I discovered has been life-changing… and I’m sharing some of it with you here.

AI gets talked about constantly as a way to make things faster: write the caption, draft the email, summarize the thing, create more content. But something that doesn’t get talked about is getting AI to carry some of the invisible mental load of running a business. 

In this episode, we discuss:

• (3:36) Recurring tasks that come before the real work (they’re costing you more than you think)
• (7:11) The shift to go much deeper than simple idea brainstorming
• (10:10) How to make the best use out of short work pockets
• (12:56) Getting more mileage from the thinking you’ve already done
• (16:13) What changes when your brain stops being responsible for remembering the entire business

Listen in to discover how AI can start giving you back some of the time, brainpower and capacity your business has been quietly (and unnecessarily) consuming.

There’s one question I’ve been asking myself constantly lately, and it might be just the thing you need to drastically improve how you run your business, too. It’s a fast way to interrupt default patterns and make decisions as someone capable of actually achieving your goals.

You’ll start to use this question everywhere… when you’re inclined to overcomplicate, when you’re trying to meet a deadline, when you’re prioritizing tasks, and when you catch yourself perfecting something that’s already good enough to do its job. The next-level decision doesn’t always mean doing more - it means doing things differently.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (0:58) Using your future self to interrupt default patterns
• (6:46) Perfectionism vs. procrastination and being good enough
• (8:08) Missed deadlines and what you make them mean
• (9:02) Priorities and consistency in the absence of motivation
• (11:47) Building a business that requires less of you as it grows

Listen in to discover how one simple question can help you make clearer decisions, protect what actually matters and build from the identity of the person you’re becoming.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t actually want to become more productive. The alternative: I want to build a business where less requires me in the first place. The goal isn’t squeezing more business tasks into every available minute… it’s creating more money, time and freedom with fewer unnecessary demands on the person running it.

At the end of the day, productivity was never the goal. Freedom is. The point isn’t to become incredibly efficient at working all the time — it’s to build a business that gives you more space to live your dream life.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (2:51) Productivity vs. responsibility
• (5:05) The trap: A master of disguise
• (6:11) The questions to ask instead for real change
• (10:07) What’s the point of better systems?
• (12:38) Allowing AI to change your life

Listen in to discover how to design your business to make more possible in your actual life, rather than absorbing all your time.

Do you ever think about the beliefs that are actively shaping your life? The beliefs that influence how you make decisions, build your business, think about money, handle the hard stuff, raise your kids, choose your relationships and decide what you want your life to look like.

For me, these boil down to a few core beliefs that show up in almost everything I do. Some I've believed for years, some have gotten stronger through business, motherhood, loss and just moving through life, and some I'm still learning how to embody.

You might agree with all of them or you might think I’m clinically insane. Either way, I hope something makes you stop and really question one of the rules you've been living by.

In this episode, we discuss:

• (2:38) What controls your level of freedom (beliefs 1-2)
• (14:33) Finding and experiencing life with your people (beliefs 3-4)
• (26:09) Possibilities and designing your life with intention (beliefs 5-8)
• (45:34) Protecting your peace and what you make life mean (beliefs 9-10)
• (58:47) Bringing it all together with the most important one of all (belief 11)

Listen in to discover the core beliefs that shape the way I live, think and design my life. Yours will never be the same after this.
