    [312] Why Some Women Are Getting Massive Results (And Others Aren’t)

    Lately, I’ve been noticing a really clear pattern in my coaching work. Some women are getting massive results - more clarity, more confidence, better decisions, real momentum in their businesses. And others? They’re working hard… but still feeling stuck, frustrated, or like they’re starting over (again). The difference isn’t intelligence. It’s not talent. It’s not even access to the “right” strategy. It’s mindset — and more specifically, how you’re showing up inside your growth. In this episode, I’m sharing the three things I consistently see in the clients who are actually moving forward — not just learning, not just consuming, but building real momentum in their business and leadership. We talk about radical responsibility, what it really means to be coachable, and why chasing freebies, shiny objects, or a new coach every few months often creates more confusion than clarity. This is an honest conversation about personal responsibility, feedback, consistency, and why business might be one of the biggest personal development journeys you’ll ever go on. If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or questioning why things aren’t clicking yet — this episode is a grounding reset. Because growth doesn’t come from finding something new. It comes from staying long enough for the work to compound. In This Episode, We Cover: Radical responsibility and ownership in business growth Why coaching isn’t about being “saved” How mindset impacts results more than strategy What being coachable really looks like as a business owner Why receiving feedback is essential for growth Shiny object syndrome and coach hopping in the online space Why real business results take time and consistency The power of staying instead of starting over Business growth isn’t about doing more. It’s about showing up differently. And the women getting results aren’t doing anything extraordinary — they’ve just decided to stay and show up.

    [311] I didn’t expect slowing down to feel like this

    Have you ever looked at your business and thought, “Everything is technically fine… so why do I feel different?” This episode isn’t really about confidence. It’s about what happens when you grow, heal, and evolve — and the old way of working no longer fits. Because here’s the thing no one talks about in business: There are seasons. Seasons of hustle and growth. Seasons of momentum and expansion. And seasons of integration, slowing down, and recalibrating. But most women were taught to stay in GO mode forever. In this episode, I’m sharing: Why healing and growth can make you question yourself (even when nothing is “wrong”) Why confidence often feels shaky during seasons of transition How identity shifts in business can feel uncomfortable — especially for experienced entrepreneurs Why hustling all the time is a dangerous narrative (and no, that doesn’t mean business is easy) What it actually looks like to build a profitable, sustainable business you enjoy And why slow, steady, long-game leadership is where real fulfillment lives I also share what this season has looked like for me — moving from a high-output, hustle year into a slower, more intentional year focused on integration and healing — and why I believe this is a sign of growth, not regression. If you’re an ambitious woman who wants: to make good money without burning yourself out with systems that support your life and success that actually feels fulfilling This conversation is for you. You’re not losing your confidence. You’re not falling behind. And you’re definitely not doing business wrong. You’re just in a different season. And that season matters.

    [310] Why Your Mindset Tools Aren’t Working

    Everyone talks about mindset — but very few talk about what actually changes things. In this episode, I unpack the mindset shift most business owners avoid: moving from emotional maintenance (journaling, affirmations, positive thinking) into real follow-through and leadership. We talk about why mindset can feel like it’s “not working,” how what you tolerate reveals your mindset, and why leading yourself before it feels comfortable is where businesses quietly change. If you’ve done the mindset work but still feel stuck, overwhelmed, or heavy in your business, this episode will help you see what’s really going on — and where to focus instead. Topics Covered What people think mindset work is — and why it often falls flat Emotional maintenance vs. leadership mindset Why follow-through is often the real gapThe Business Circle is where mindset meets action — with real support, grounded strategy, and women who actually get it.

    [309] The One Question I Ask When Everything Feels Urgent

    Ever finish a full workday feeling busy… but still behind? In this short, powerful episode, Gina talks about one of the most common patterns keeping female business owners stuck in overwhelm: working like an employee in their own business instead of stepping into true CEO leadership. You’ll hear why this happens, how urgency and reaction mode quietly drain your energy, and what it really looks like to lead your business with clarity — without hustle culture or burnout. If you’re capable, driven, and tired of feeling scattered, this episode is for you. Inside the Business Circle, Gina supports female business owners who are ready to stop reacting and start leading — with clarity, structure, and a business that works for them, not the other way around.

    [308] Why Women Struggle to Invest in Themselves (And What Actually Moves the Needle)

    A real conversation about trust, identity, self-investment, and why environment matters more than effort when it comes to business growth. We talk a lot about strategy, mindset, and discipline when it comes to growing a business — but there’s one piece that quietly gets overlooked: environment. In this episode, I’m sharing a real, honest conversation about why so many women struggle to invest in themselves and their businesses — even when they’re capable, committed, and already spending money in other areas of life. This isn’t about reckless decisions or “just take the leap” energy. It’s about identity, trust, control, and the belief many women carry that they should be able to figure everything out on their own. I talk about: why “I’ll invest when I get there” keeps people stuck how self-investment is often the thing that creates clarity and momentum the hidden fear underneath asking for support and why choosing the right environment can be one of the fastest ways to grow your business If you’ve been circling the same problems, waiting to feel ready, or trying to do everything alone, this episode will help you look at your next decision differently — without pressure, urgency, or hype. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for women business owners who: feel capable but stuck keep circling the same challenges are tired of doing everything alone want to grow, but don’t want hustle or pressure know something needs to shift, but aren’t sure what Listen + Subscribe If this conversation landed for you, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss future episodes on self-leadership, mindset, business growth, and building a business that actually supports your life.

    [307] This Is Why Your Business Feels Harder Than It Should

    If you’ve been taking action in your business but still feel tired, stuck, or like something isn’t quite working, this episode is for you. In this episode, I talk about a pattern I see over and over again with entrepreneurs: taking action first, hoping clarity and confidence will follow, and assuming mindset will eventually catch up. While this approach is common, it often leads to burnout, self-doubt, and frustration — even when things look “successful” on the outside. We explore why vision needs to come before mindset and strategy, how misaligned beliefs quietly limit income and impact, and why action without a clear vision creates unnecessary noise and overwhelm. I also share how mindset and identity shape the decisions you make in business — and why changing what you do without changing how you think rarely leads to sustainable growth. This episode will help you reflect on: Why action-first entrepreneurship often leads to burnout How mindset influences business decisions and results The importance of vision in building a business that feels aligned Why doing more isn’t always the solution If you’re feeling busy but unfulfilled, motivated but drained, or productive without a sense of direction, this episode offers a grounded reframe and a more sustainable way to build. You’re not behind. You haven’t missed your moment. You may just need to build in a different order. 🎧 Listen in and take what you need.

    [306] The Hard Part of Asking for More

    I usually consider myself a pretty positive person. The life happens for me, not to me kind. And yet… 2026 came in hot. In this episode, I’m sharing a real, honest reflection on what happens after you ask for more — more growth, more peace, more freedom, more expansion — and why it so often feels harder before it gets better. Because here’s the part we don’t talk about enough: You don’t just get the thing you want. You have to become the person who can hold it. And that process? It can be frustrating. It can challenge your habits, your boundaries, and the stories you tell yourself when things don’t go as planned. In this episode, I talk about: Why resistance often shows up right after you declare what you want How easy it is to let a hard moment turn into a story about your future Why emotional regulation matters more than pushing harder How preparing for what you want changes everything Why creating space might be the most important growth strategy of all This conversation is for you if: You asked for more… and things got uncomfortable fast You’re wondering if the hard part means you’re doing something wrong You’re learning how to protect your peace while still honoring your goals You want permission to create space, slow down, and do growth differently Take a breath. You’re not behind. You’re becoming. 🎧 Listen in.
