If you’re chasing the next big thing in your business or life, here’s the truth: you’re not meant to do it alone.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the 5 types of people you absolutely need in your corner to grow—not just in business, but in your mindset, your momentum, and your purpose.

I used to believe I had to figure it all out myself. But the more I leaned into building the right relationships, the more everything started to click. Success isn’t a solo sport—and this episode breaks down the “dream team” you didn’t know you were missing.

We’re talking about:

🔗 The Connector – The one who opens doors and gets you in the room

🧠 The Mentor – The voice of experience, wisdom, and guidance

🙌 The Yes Man (or Woman) – The hype person who keeps your fire lit

🔮 The Oracle – The one who sees what you can’t and grounds you with truth

🥜🍇 The Jelly to Your Peanut Butter – Your perfectly complementary partner-in-growth

I’ll show you how to spot them, build real relationships, and lean into their strengths so you can step more fully into your calling.

This episode is really personal. I’m sharing a recent experience that completely shifted the trajectory of my life and business—and it all started with something I never expected to be powerful: stillness.

In a world that constantly tells us to hustle, push, and make things happen, I was invited (in a very real and divine way) to wait. To not act. To stand still and see. And let me tell you—it wasn’t easy.But in that stillness, something shifted. It brought clarity, peace, and a deeper understanding of what abundance and prosperity really mean—both in leadership and in life.

In this episode, I’m talking about:

🛑 What led me to this season of stillness (including a life-changing moment a year ago)

👂 How I’ve learned to tune in to divine direction when it feels like nothing is happening

💫 Why not acting is sometimes the most powerful move you can make

📖 Practical ways to navigate the discomfort of waiting

🌱 How creating space can open the door for something even better

I’m also giving you a peek into what’s been unfolding behind the scenes—because trust me, this season of waiting is leading somewhere big.

I just got back from Mexico, and let’s just say—I had a lot of time to reflect on what’s working (and what’s not) in my business. One thing that kept coming up? How easy it is for entrepreneurs to get stuck in the weeds instead of actually stepping into their role as CEO.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably found yourself juggling all the day-to-day tasks—emails, content, calls—while your bigger vision and strategy keep getting pushed to the back burner. Sound familiar? That’s exactly why I’m sharing a concept that’s been a game-changer for me: the One Day CEO method.

Here’s the deal:

🚀 One full day each week—no client work, no busywork, just vision, strategy & leadership

🎯 A breakdown of exactly how I structure my CEO days so they’re actually productive

🔄 How shifting into a true CEO role helps you grow without constantly feeling behind

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything but not actually moving the needle, this episode is for you. I’m giving you practical steps to step into your CEO energy, reclaim your time, and lead your business like the boss you are.

What If True Confidence Had Nothing to Do with External Validation?

Ever feel like your confidence is on a rollercoaster—high when things are going well and crashing the moment you hit a setback? You’re not alone. So many entrepreneurs unknowingly tie their self-worth to external validation—likes, sales, client feedback—without realizing how fragile that makes their confidence.

In this episode, we’re getting real about what true confidence actually looks like and why it has nothing to do with outside approval. I’ll walk you through practical ways to build unshakable confidence from the inside out, including:

✅ Auditing where you're seeking validation (and breaking the cycle)

✅ Creating a decision-making framework that you trust

✅ Building competence in a way that fuels long-term confidence

✅ Establishing a rhythm that keeps your confidence steady—no matter what

If you’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself and start taking bold, aligned action in your business (and life!), this episode is for you.

In this episode of Luminary Leadership Podcast, I’m diving into a different perspective on leadership. We often think of leaders as problem-solvers, but what if the best leaders actually create problems on purpose? Yep, I’m talking about intentionally crafting “good problems” that push the needle forward in innovation and strategy. Instead of just tackling day-to-day issues, I’m proposing we focus on creating challenges that spark growth and breakthroughs.

I’ll be talking about how staying reactive can really hold you back, and how true trailblazers are leveraging strategic problems to force progress. I’ll share a simple five-step process for identifying areas where you’re too comfortable, setting audacious goals, creating intentional constraints, embracing failure, and seeking outside perspectives—everything you need to start creating challenges that lead to growth and transformation, both for you and your business.

You’ve probably heard it a million times—‘time is your most valuable resource.’ I used to believe that too, but I’ve come to realize that it’s not actually time that matters most… it’s energy. As entrepreneurs, we can have all the time in the world, but if we’re running on empty, we won’t get far.

In this episode of the Luminary Leadership podcast, I’m breaking down why energy management is the real key to high performance and a fulfilling life. I’m sharing my own journey—dealing with Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and the massive impact they had on my productivity and well-being. We’ll talk about how to spot the energy leaks in your life, how to work with your natural energy rhythms (instead of against them), and simple routines to keep your energy levels strong so you can show up fully—without burning out.

If you’re tired of feeling drained and stretched thin, this one’s for you. Let’s shift the focus from just managing time to maximizing energy. Hit play and let’s dive in!
