What do yogurt spills, Wi‑Fi outages, and negotiating Lego peace treaties have in common? They’re the realities of working from home as a mom. In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend and entrepreneur, Kayla Depoian to chat about how shes able to balance life as a mom of three (including twins) through realistic and flexible systems.

Listen in as we laugh about parenting truths (like catching vomit because … instincts) and talk honestly about what it takes to build a business around your life, not in spite of it. Kayla gives us honest, practical systems for time blocking, managing mental load, meal planning, seasonal scheduling, and letting go of perfection.

If your business is built on vibes, voice notes, and vague reminders, this episode will either change your life—or call you out (in the best way). When I sat down with today's guest, I wasn’t expecting to walk away newly inspired to overhaul my task list. But that’s what happens when you talk to someone who doesn’t just use systems… she lives them.

In this episode of System for Everything, Tia Goff takes us behind the scenes of how she runs a photography business, manages a growing content studio, and still finds time for book clubs and plant care—all thanks to her secret weapon: Asana.

Whether you’ve opened a project management tool twelve times and abandoned it every single time, or you’re ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business, this conversation will change the way you think about structure, systems, and freedom.

In this special holiday mini-episode, I’m giving you a permission slip to retire, reshape, or completely reimagine the traditions that no longer fit. Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus, or just Team Cozy Couch, this is your reminder that traditions should serve you, not the other way around.

This one is personal. A year ago, I became a mother overnight and nothing has been the same since.

This episode originally aired on Joy Michelle’s podcast, Called to Both, where I shared the raw truth of what that first month of motherhood looked like: NICU alarms, stress vomiting, work deadlines, and the tiniest, bravest baby I’ve ever known. It’s a story of chaos, love, reinvention, and survival.

To celebrate Ellie’s first birthday, I wanted to give you the full picture: who I was in those early days and who I am now. I hope you enjoy this permission slip to drop the plan, embrace the mess, and find grace along the way.

You know that late-night scroll: the one where you're desperate, searching for answers, and all you find are horror stories or shiny success reels? I’ve been there. Cathy Olson has too.

We’re living in the age of extremes, especially when it comes to GLP-1 medications. The internet is flooded with before-and-afters, hot takes, and scary headlines. But what about the middle? What about the part where you're not sure it's working, you're navigating identity shifts, and you’re too ashamed to tell your best friend you even started? 

In this Episode:

• The unexpected emotional side effects of GLP-1s no one warns you about
• How Cathy systemized her journey (and why that changed everything)
• What makes her GLP-1 Cheat Code Workshop different

Do you ever feel like you’re performing your business instead of showing up in it? That’s the tension I explored in this week’s conversation with Ashlyn Carter, the conversion copywriter, messaging strategist, and quiet architect behind some of the internet’s most powerful brands. While this conversation started about copy and strategy, it quickly turned into a deeper exploration of voice, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to lead your business with clarity instead of performance.

If your finances feel like a rollercoaster, it’s time to stop screaming and start steering. You’re not alone if your business bank account swings from dopamine highs to devastating lows. One month you're flush with client payments, the next you’re wondering if Stripe has ghosted you. The feast or famine cycle is a real (and exhausting) part of entrepreneurship, especially for creatives and service providers.

In this episode, we're joined by fractional CFO and financial consultant Geily Romero to unpack why this happens and how we can build systems to stabilize our cash flow without burning out. Geily has spent nearly a decade helping service-based entrepreneurs stop guessing and start growing with intentional, sustainable financial strategies.

In this Episode:

• Why revenue ≠ profit and how to actually start paying yourself consistently
• A dead-simple system to assign every dollar a job and stop reacting to your bank balance
• The exact habits Geily recommends to start building a financial cushion, even in slow seasons
