Leadership isn’t just built in the big moments.
It’s built in the three seconds after you get triggered.

In this episode, I go deeper into Leading Yourself First and unpack why the pause is one of the most powerful leadership skills you can develop.

Most reactions aren’t intentional... they’re conditioned and based on patterns.
Without space between stimulus + response, we default to protection instead of leadership.

Inside this episode:

• Why your nervous system reacts before your logic
• The difference between discharge + real power
• How emotional steadiness builds influence
• The identity shift created every time you pause
• A simple way to pre-decide your response to predictable triggers

The pause isn’t suppression. It’s regulation. It's power.

And when you lead your nervous system, you lead your life.

What is your first emotional reaction to the word money?

In this episode of the With Mrs. B. podcast, I dive into the Financial Abundance foundation of Build A Life You Love™ and explore why abundance is not about numbers first... it’s about identity first.

We talk about:

• The hidden money scripts shaping your behavior

• Why avoidance is more expensive than clarity

• The identity shift required for real growth

• How emotional safety impacts your income

Financial abundance isn’t a hustle to MAKE MORE. It’s ownership.

It’s becoming the version of you who can hold more.

Welcome back to my interview series with the Ambassadors of Chosen Fertility Group. In this episode, I chat with Robbie Langlois. Robbie is from Oakland Twp, Michigan. She is the proud mama to two amazing boys, both conceived through IVF.

Robbie shares how infertility "snuck up on her"- never thinking getting pregnant would be an issue. As denial evolved to shame, and then to the realization that being honest and connecting with others was the best thing she could have done to support herself along the journey.

Listen to Robbie's story and how she found meaning and community through her work with Chosen Fertility Group.

Listen in as I interview Lauren Clements, founder of Chosen Infertility Group. Lauren shares about the long, heartbreaking journey of infertility and the triumph of finally conceiving.

Lauren's mantra throughout her difficult journey was "There is Gold in Every Part of Your Story," I was so moved by her ability to find purpose through her pain that I titled one of the chapters in my book, NOTE TO SELF, with this very phrase.

Lauren and I discuss the importance of looking for the glimmer of hope within and on the other side of any dark time of life.

We often find ourselves silently wishing for others to understand our unspoken desires. To see through the hidden signals and magically fulfill our needs. People aren't mind readers, and expecting them to lead to frustration and resentment.

In this episode, I share a technique and script for asking for what you need. Asking for what you need is an act of vulnerability and authenticity. You get to ask for support and learn to control your emotions to prevent the build-up of negative feelings and resentment. Have a listen, and be ready to take notes!

Happy New Year!

We are chatting about making intentions and commitments in the new year versus resolutions. Check it out:

The smallest habits or ways of being echo across all the aspects of your life without you even realizing it.  Your habits tell others who you are. 

At the start of this year, I encourage you to identify some of your habits and assess which ones serve you well and which don’t. 

Adopting new habits or reinforcing current positive habits that apply across the different aspects of your life can have a compounding and mind-blowing effect.
