I stand by these words. Being in a partnership has been one of the hardest parts of my life and one of the most rewarding. One of the things that makes it so hard is the fact that YOU (in my case I mean me) and whatever it is that you are going through, is a part of that deal. This is the case in...
As a high achieving person - this concept of being identified as your function really hit home. I can’t think of a time I had a label that was not defined by what I did. I am a boss, a sister, a mother, a wife, a wedding planner, a venue owner, an employer, a speaker, a consultant, a...
So much inspiration - I was left in awe of John and all that he managed to accomplish given his circumstances. I especially loved his ability to relate that to any and everyone who may be going through something tough, and believe me, if you haven’t already been through a hard time, your...
Have you ever felt this? I mean really, truly, felt like your better option for a life and career is to just hang up the boss hat and work for someone else?
If you haven’t ever - I would love to know what your secret is! I have said this exact thing more times than I count! When...
Happy New Year! That is for those of you who have not heard it enough already! I love a new year and we are excited to start this year off with Abbie as our first 2022 podcast guest! I loved her energy (I will have what she's having) and even more than that - I loved her message, I think it fits...
What a year it has been! There have been a lot of highs and a lot of lows. Some of my most favorite memories and some memories I would like to never remember have come out of 2021.
In the episode we reflect on the year we had and what we want to change for 2022. I have to admit that I...
I loved hearing Inez’s story - it was real, honest, hope-filled, and such a journey! One of the things that really struck me is how grief was not the end of Inez’s journey but the beginning of a new one. She lost so much in a day - her career, her second family, a life plan, and that...
Inez’s story is one that I will never forget. I was mesmerized as she was talking and describing her journey to where she is now. It was such a windy road and a LONG journey to get where she is today. This one part of her story really struck me hard. She was talking about her first...
Scarcity mindset - it's a thing! I know what it feels like as a business to say yes just because you are afraid to say no...What if another client doesn't come along? What if another company gets the gig? What if I regret this ‘no” later? All of these feelings are valid - and pass...
Boundaries feel like a 4 letter word sometimes - especially as someone who is a people pleaser. My very first boundary that I struggled to make, but successfully held tight to, was with my parents when I was 19 years old. It wasn’t made because they were being terrible parents- rather it...
This week is one of our longest recordings and honestly the time just flew by! Jess was so wonderful to talk to and she left me really thinking and noodling on things for days after. The one thing she said that really stuck hard and really had me contemplating was when she was talking about how...
There were so many great takeaways from our interview with Larry- but none has stuck with me quite like this one. Failure is just an unsuccessful attempt. I can’t even tell you how much my mind was blown when I heard this! It was straight up a light bulb moment.
For me, failure has always...
