Thinking That Matters with Elizabeth Mahusay

What happens when the biggest obstacle in your business… is your own thinking?

In this conversation, I welcome back Ashley Bledsoe, founder of Bledsoe Hydromulch, to reflect on what has changed over the last two years not just in business growth, but in mindset, leadership, and decision-making. As Ashley’s company expanded from residential projects into large-scale commercial work, she began recognizing a difficult truth: she had become the bottleneck in her own business.

Together, we unpack the tension many leaders quietly face- wanting growth while still operating from a mindset built for survival, safety, or smaller responsibilities. We explore how fear can disguise itself as caution, why clarity often comes after action instead of before it, and how accountability and communication can strengthen both leadership and marriage when building a business together.

This episode is a thoughtful reminder that transformation rarely starts with strategy alone. Sometimes it begins by asking whether the way we think is still aligned with where we say we want to go.

What if the changes you’re experiencing in your 50s aren’t something to hide… but something to understand, talk about, and navigate with confidence?

In this heartfelt episode of Thinking That Matters, I sit down with my dear friends Lisa Hammett and Andrea Rogers for an honest conversation about menopause, perimenopause, and the realities many women face but few openly discuss.

If you’ve ever felt confused by sudden mood swings, emotional overwhelm, body changes, hot flashes, or the pressure to “keep it all together,” this episode reminds you that you are not alone and you are not losing yourself.

Lisa, a certified PQ coach and mental fitness expert, shares her experience navigating menopause in her 60s, while Andrea offers a relatable and refreshing perspective from her own journey through perimenopause in her 50s. Together, they unpack the physical, emotional, and relational shifts women often face during this season of life.

In this conversation, you’ll discover:

This episode is more than a conversation about menopause, it’s an invitation to give yourself grace, release shame, and step into this chapter with strength and support.

If you or someone you love is walking through this season, this episode may be exactly what they need to hear.

What if your workplace culture isn’t the problem… but the result of leadership habits you don’t even see?

We also talk about something he calls “Sunday night peace.”

If you’re a leader, business owner, or simply someone who wants to feel more aligned in your work, this conversation will challenge the way you think about culture and your role in shaping it.
