The Embodied CEO Kirsten Screen

Earlier this year, I was on a trip that was supposed to be fun. It was supposed to be what I wanted. But I was miserable, and it wasn’t just about the trip.
I’ve been having revelations lately, about my life and my business and how I want to experience both… or maybe more specifically, how I don’t. I don’t want to just go through the motions. I don’t want to just make an income without feeling like I’m creating something valuable in the world. I don’t want to settle for the same thing every day.
So I’m making some big changes that are frankly, a little scary. But these changes are exactly what I need right now, and I’m going to walk you through all the reasons why in today’s episode. Let’s dive in!

[00:00] Intro
[01:35] The trip that made me realize something was off in my business 
[07:20] My process of trying to determine what caused this imbalance in my business

Today, I have one of my favorite people on the podcast, my mentee and the other coach at Screen Nutrition, Rachel Leach. Rachel is so passionate, thoughtful, and hard-working, but our relationship isn’t just about business. We’ve been able to help each other grow in different ways in the last three years.
In this episode, Rachel and I reminisce about how she joined Screen Nutrition. She discusses all the ways she’s grown as a coach since joining my company, and how Screen Nutrition has offered her unique opportunities to grow and expand personally and professionally. We also chat about how to make employees feel valued and why that’s such an important part of having a sustainable business. 
Let’s dive in!
What’s in this episode:
[00:00] Intro
[02:14] Who Rachel is and what she loves
[07:27] How Rachel and Kirsten found each other and started working together
[13:35] Why Rachel was excited to take a leap and jump into a new role even if it felt a little experimental
[18:13] How Rachel and Kirsten maintain open communication to make sure business is running intentionally, effectively, and stress-free as possible for everyone
[24:54] How Kirsten offers Rachel latitude to grow and experiment inside the Screen Nutrition business

When I look back, the only regret I have in my career is that I didn’t jump into entrepreneurship sooner. Yes, at the time it was scary, and it was hard, and I did make mistakes. But I’d do it all over again in a second. 
So, if you’re sitting back, mulling over the questions: should I try entrepreneurship, and when is the time to jump in? The time is now, friends. And to get you started, I’m sharing the 10 things I would do if I had to start my entrepreneurial journey all over again. From practical to-dos to the mindset work you have to get straight, this is how I would start from the beginning again–and it’s a roadmap you can use to jumpstart your entrepreneurial journey today. Let’s go!
What’s in this episode:
[00:00] Intro
[01:33] Kirsten’s reflections on her old corporate life and how her life has changed
[02:48] Kirsten’s only regret in entrepreneurship and what she’d do today if she had to start over
[04:27] How Kirsten would start leveraging social media (particularly Instagram)
[08:14] Why Kirsten still values courses and which kind she would look for if she were just starting out (and which ones she wouldn’t)

[15:41] The mindset work you need to do to really grow and flourish in your business

This is not an episode about having it all when it comes to running a business while being a mom. I’m not going to give you platitudes or tell you I have all the hacks to make things easy and smooth, because here is the cold, hard truth: Being an entrepreneur and a mom at the same time is really, really hard. But it’s still one of the best things I’ve ever done.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what it looks like to be a mom of three teenagers while also running a seven-figure business, and why this age isn’t any easier than having littles. I’m  also reflecting on the generational impact of my mother and grandmother and the impact I’m having on my own children, especially in light of being a business owner. I’m not sugar-coating the hard stuff, but I am sharing why doing both of these things, motherhood and business together, is ultimately so fulfilling. Let’s dive in.
What’s in this episode:
[00:00] Intro
[01:13] How Kirsten’s parenting responsibilities intersect with her business and why it’s still not easy to manage after all of these years
[06:33] Why it’s different (and harder) for mothers to run a business than it is for someone without children
[11:33] How we as women are building more opportunities for our daughters every generation
[19:53] The duality of emotion that comes with motherhood and running a business at the same time
[25:44] Why mothers have a different challenge from fathers when it comes to balancing their work and their life with their kids
[29:50] The gift we give to our kids when they see us running our businesses while building up the next generation
[34:07] A parting quote for you to consider

Today’s conversation is not about taxes. Sure, we’ll talk about tax strategy and how life-changing it can be to have a good one. But this is a conversation about how diving into entrepreneurship (via a tax strategy firm) changed the life of one woman’s family… and every person she works with.
In this episode, we have the amazing Barbara Shreihans on the podcast. She shares everything from her inspiring story of breaking generational trends to how entrepreneurship has allowed her the freedom to change the lives of those around her for the better to her advice for other business owners. And, of course, a few thoughts on her speciality: tax strategy.
This conversation was so fun, and there’s something here for everyone. Let’s dive in!
 
What’s in this episode:
[00:00] Intro
[02:14] What tax strategy is and why it’s crucial for your business
[05:23] How Barbara started out in accounting and discovered how digging deep into tax strategies can change lives for the better
[12:28] How Barbara shifted from being “just” an accountant into entrepreneurship
[18:55] Hoe Barbara navigates her professional relationship with her husband, now that they both work for her business
[24:12] The freedom that Barbara and her family have been able to embrace since her transition to entrepreneurship
[28:08] The biggest blessing Barbara’s received from entrepreneurship and the biggest mistake she sees other business owners making (spoiler: it’s not about taxes!)

Are you sick of the coaching space on Instagram? The consensus seems to be a resounding “yes”. For the past several years, social media has been saturated with people who deem themselves “business coaches” without ever having actually run a true business.
And, you might’ve noticed, they charge upwards of tens of thousands dollars simply to be in their presence rather than provide real, tangible business solutions. It’s time to be more discerning when it comes to where you get your business advice!
In today’s episode, I’m sharing why I think it’s the end of business coaching as we’ve known it. You’ll hear why most “business coaching” isn’t useful to the average person, why there’s still value in authentic, actionable business mentorship, and my thoughts on what’s really going to help you move the needle forward in your business journey. If you’re tired of all the flashy branding and the empty, pyramid scheme approach to coaching, then this episode is for you!
