This episode feels like the deep exhale we all need to close out 2025 ✨ As the final episode of the year, I’m sharing the biggest lessons, reminders, and top tips from every guest who joined me on the podcast this year — all answering one powerful question: “If you had one tip for growing your business in a way that feels good to YOU… what would it be?” Having these incredible women on the show has been such a source of motivation and grounding during a tough, transformative year — and now you get all of that wisdom in one place. No pressure. No “do everything differently” energy. No "new year, new me" bullshit. Just inspiration, clarity, and permission to build a business that feels even better in 2026 🫶🏼 Here’s what you’ll hear, all in one episode: Setting boundaries, selling unapologetically, and not caring what people think Building community and choosing collaboration over competition Starting messy, learning as you go, and actually taking action Taking time for yourself so you can show up fully again Trusting that things don’t need to happen fast to be working The importance of real-life connection and not doing business alone Protecting your mental peace and making life-first decisions Being open to possibility and letting your success guide your next level Being yourself to attract aligned clients — and building systems before life throws a plot twist Delegating clearly, outsourcing support, and releasing scarcity thinking Letting go of perfection, pressure, and unrealistic expectations Stepping into the identity of who you want to be — without permission Speaking like yourself in your messaging and sharing what you’re tempted to hide Making informed decisions by doing your research and tuning into yourself Building self-trust through both the good and hard seasons Growing at a sustainable pace and not being afraid to fail Balancing trusting your gut with learning from others Creating boundaries that honor you and pouring into yourself first Investing from an empowered place and knowing you have your own back Being authentic even when not everyone likes you (that’s a feature, not a flaw) Trusting your intuition, blocking out noise, and doing the internal work Thinking long-term while taking daily aligned action Focusing on relationships, collaboration, and asking for help Using Human Design to simplify and work with your energy Keeping your business human instead of automating too quickly Staying true to yourself, experimenting, and trusting what lights you up Listening to your nervous system and honoring what it’s telling you Believing fully in what you want and staying unwavering Showing up consistently — even before others see the vision Putting your life first and building your business around it Taking things one step at a time, reducing overwhelm, and asking daily: “What do I desire?” This episode is the perfect way to reflect, reset, and head into the new year feeling supported, inspired, and grounded in what actually matters to you.

If you’ve been craving more ease, self-trust, and a deeper connection to your energy — this episode is such a grounding, expansive listen. I’m joined by Jaya Jankert, a spiritual mentor and energy healer, for a powerful conversation about spirituality, embodiment, healing, and what it looks like to run a business (and live your life) in alignment with who you actually are. We dive into: Jaya’s view on spirituality and how she supports her clients Holding safe, supportive space for yourself and for others Navigating imposter syndrome as a business owner and being kinder to yourself Human Design — our experiences with it and how it’s helped us understand ourselves and others What it’s like being Manifesting Generators and learning to work with that energy Feminine vs. masculine energy — including exploring the wounded aspects of both What twin flames are, how they differ from soulmates, and Jaya’s personal experience after divorce How our relationships with our parents shape how safe we feel being loved My experience navigating old wounds in my marriage after divorce Healing pain and stored emotions through dance and movement How embodiment work impacts your energy and how that shows up online What dance taught me and why it was my first true love The overemphasis on masculine energy in our society and the shift toward feminine energy My experience taking 3 weeks off and choosing ease instead of “doing it all” when I returned Why doing less and simplifying doesn’t mean you’ll make less or miss out How Jaya’s business evolved from fashion and the impact clothes have on your energy Using Human Design to choose clothing that supports your identity and energy Letting go of clothes as a way to release stuck energy and honor identity shifts (hello, rebrands!)

If you’re growing a business, navigating real life at the same time, and trying to make smart decisions without burning yourself out — this episode is such a grounded, honest listen. I’m joined by Kristina Hind, bookkeeper and owner of Franklynn Accounting, for a conversation about sustainable growth, delegation, and building a business that actually supports your life. In this convo, we dive into: Kristina’s business growth this year and what shifted once she hired support Why she decided to rebrand and redesign her website — and how that supported her next level The importance of outsourcing and delegating as a business owner (especially as a mom) Balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship — and why that flexibility is such a gift The emotional back-and-forth of letting go of a full-time or part-time job alongside your business Making intentional choices and sacrifices to support long-term growth Redefining success in business and life — and why it looks different for everyone Why bookkeeping matters beyond tax time (and how it actually reduces stress) Understanding cash flow and how it helps you make confident CEO-level decisions Using your numbers to stop taking things so personally in business Putting your own business last after client work — and how to carve out time for YOU Procrastination, overthinking tasks, and simple ways to stop making things bigger than they need to be Structuring your days realistically (morning vs. night people, less overplanning, more ease) Cutting out the noise of what you “should” be doing to be successful Focusing on being just 1% better every day — and letting that compound over time Why you’re not alone in this journey and the importance of having a support network How tight-knit the bookkeeping community really is Trusting that people are watching — even when it feels quiet — and continuing to show up Using your numbers to understand ROI and reduce fear around investing in your business The importance of email marketing and owning your audience (not renting platforms) Putting your life first so you can build a business you actually love My favorite part of having guests on the podcast (and what to listen for as the year wraps up!)

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship, unsure whether to stay or leave, this episode is packed with clarity, tools, and tough love you need to finally break free from indecision. I’m joined by Cindy Stibbard, a Certified Divorce & Relationship Coach who helps people step out of what she calls indecision purgatory - that painful, stuck-in-the-middle place where you feel frozen between staying and leaving. As a single mom who’s navigated both divorce and widowhood, Cindy knows the courage it takes to create a life you actually want. In this episode, we cover everything from the mindset that keeps us stuck to practical steps for getting out of limbo, including: Cindy’s journey into divorce and relationship coaching - and how it’s different from therapy or hiring a lawyer Using a relationship audit and analytical approach to stop taking everything personally The impact of kids on relationships, and why staying together “for the kids” isn’t always the best choice How parents’ relationships shape our beliefs about love, boundaries, and compromise Accepting less than we’re worth, dating after divorce, and why leaving can feel harder than staying Navigating conflict, communication, and infidelity in a way that’s healthy and not toxic Preparing yourself for divorce and having the hard conversations you’ve been avoiding How your relationship should be a place of joy, not guilt or resentment Understanding masculine vs. feminine energy and how it impacts what you want from a partner Choosing a partner before vs. after kids, meeting each other’s needs, and finding alignment Lessons from our own family dynamics, personal divorce experiences, and how to stop holding yourself back Applying authenticity in business and relationships - keeping the humanity, ditching the autopilot Connect with Cindy on Instagram and her website!
