    E193: You’re Making Money… So Why Does Your Business Still Feel Unstable?

    If someone asked you right now, “Are your business finances healthy?” — would you confidently say yes? Or would you say… I think so? Many business owners measure financial health by one thing: revenue. If money is coming in, the business must be doing fine, right? Not necessarily. A business can generate strong revenue and still struggle with unstable cash flow, inconsistent pay for the owner, lack of reserves, or no protection if something goes wrong. In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, Dawnette Palmore walks through the 5-part Business Financial Health Check — a simple framework to help entrepreneurs determine whether their business is truly stable or just reacting month to month. You’ll learn how to evaluate the financial health of your business through five key areas: Clarity – Do you actually know your numbers? Consistency – Is your cash flow predictable? Compensation – Are you paying yourself intentionally? Cushion – Do you have reserves for slower months? Coverage – Is your income protected if something happens? Financial health isn't about perfection — it’s about knowing where you stand so you can make decisions from awareness instead of reaction. 📘 Free Resource:Download Dawnette’s free eBook Financial Literacy for Business Owners, where she explains:• What financial reports actually matter• How to understand your numbers without overwhelm• How to plan for taxes instead of reacting to them• How to build a financially stable business

    E:192 Why Women Struggle to Own Their Profit & Power with Nuttha Goutier

    So let me ask you something… If your strategy disappeared tomorrow, would your belief still carry you? So many women entrepreneurs don’t struggle because they lack knowledge.They struggle because doubt gets louder than conviction. In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, I sit down with Nuttha Goutier, Founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who built a multi-location wellness brand starting with less than $1,000 and one powerful thing — belief. We talk about: • The self-doubt that creeps in when no one is watching• The comparison trap that social media fuels• Why women feel guilty making money• How your internal dialogue shapes your income• Balancing purpose with profit without shrinking• Turning belief into real results This is not mindset fluff.This is about the foundation of sustainable success. Because if you don’t believe in what you’re building, no strategy will fix that. And when your belief aligns with your purpose?That’s when impact — and income — expand. If you’ve been questioning yourself lately, this episode is your reminder:You are more capable than your doubt wants you to believe. From chaos to clarity — your journey starts here.

    E 191: The Question Every Business Owner Avoids (But Can’t Afford To)

    What would happen to your business if you didn’t show up tomorrow? It’s not a dramatic question. It’s a practical one. As entrepreneurs, we carry everything — clients, decisions, payroll, family, leadership. We are the CEO, the CFO, the problem-solver, the backup plan. And because we’re holding so much, planning for the unexpected often gets pushed aside. In this episode, Dawnette Palmore walks through the conversation most business owners avoid: what happens to your income, your clients, and your family if you have to step away unexpectedly? This isn’t about fear. It’s about leadership.It’s about protection.It’s about making sure the business you worked so hard to build doesn’t collapse under pressure. If you don’t have paid leave, automatic income, or someone ready to step into your role, this episode will challenge you to think differently — and plan wisely. Because protecting your business isn’t optional.It’s responsible leadership.

    E190: Leading Without Losing Yourself with Dr. Jodi Blinco

    Are you leading… or performing? In this episode of Your Business on Purpose, we’re having a real conversation about something most women in leadership don’t talk about enough — the quiet burnout that comes from chasing validation. If you’ve ever: Replayed a meeting in your head wondering if you sounded confident Said yes to more just to prove your value Felt successful on paper but off internally Needed constant reassurance that you’re “doing it right” This conversation is for you. I’m joined by holistic leadership expert Dr. Jodi Blinco, and we unpack what sustainable leadership actually looks like — and why your nervous system may be telling you something your brain is ignoring. We talk about:• How approval-seeking drains your energy• Why your feelings are indicators of misalignment• The physical signs you’re leading from pressure instead of purpose• How to stop overgiving just to feel validated• Building influence that lasts without burning out Your feelings aren’t weakness.They’re data. And when something feels off, that’s your cue to pause and ask deeper questions. This episode will challenge you — in the best way — to stop performing and start leading from alignment. Because lasting influence doesn’t come from doing it all.It comes from clarity, courage, and authenticity. 🎧 Listen now and start building a business — and a life — that truly serves you.

    E 189 Covered on Paper, Exposed in Real Life: The Insurance Gap No One Explains

    Most people think having insurance means they’re protected. They signed up. They pay the premium. They checked the box and moved on. But here’s what I see all the time—especially with women business owners: They have insurance… but they don’t actually feel safe. Not because they did anything wrong. Not because they’re irresponsible. But because no one ever explained what their coverage really means in real life. In this episode, we talk about the difference between having insurance and actually being protected—and why those two things are not the same. We break down: Why “set it and forget it” insurance quietly leaves people exposed How life changes, business growth, and income shifts affect your coverage The questions you should be asking your insurance professional Why protection isn’t just about policies—it’s about peace of mind How people lose businesses not from carelessness, but from misunderstanding risk This conversation isn’t about fear or buying something new. It’s about understanding what you already have and whether it truly supports where you are right now. You’ve worked too hard to leave this on autopilot. And if this episode makes you realize it’s time to review your coverage—without pressure or judgment—you don’t have to do it alone. Visit www.yourmoneyonpurpose.com to book a clarity call and make sure the business and life you’ve built are actually protected. Thanks for being here. I’ll talk to you again soon.

    EP: 188 Psychological Safety Is a Financial Strategy: Redefining Retention with Francie Jain

    High turnover isn’t just frustrating — it’s expensive. And often, the real issue isn’t hiring, pay, or performance.

Francie shares powerful real-world examples, including how organizations have dramatically reduced turnover and saved millions by shifting from blame to better systems. If you’re a business owner or leader who wants stronger teams, lower turnover, and sustainable growth, this conversation will change how you think about leadership, culture, and profit. 🎧 Listen in and start leading your business on purpose.

    E187: Silence Is Not Neutral - The Real Cost of Staying Quiet When Women Are Harmed

    Women supporting women isn’t a hashtag — it’s a behavior.And sometimes, real support requires interruption, not encouragement. In this powerful and deeply personal solo episode, Dawnette Palmore expands on Episode 185 and addresses a hard but necessary truth: silence protects harmful behavior, not the person being harmed. From boardrooms to organizations to everyday leadership spaces, staying quiet has consequences — and this episode calls us to do better. Dawnette shares real-life experiences, painful lessons, and practical examples of what it actually looks like to stand up for women in real time, even when it’s uncomfortable, risky, or costly. This is a conversation about integrity, courage, leadership, and the responsibility we carry when we witness unfair treatment and choose whether to speak up — or stay silent. Why silence is never neutral — and who it truly protects The hidden cost of being a bystander in leadership and business spaces Why women are often labeled “difficult” or “aggressive” for speaking up How real support goes beyond encouragement into action The difference between public interruption and private correction Practical ways to advocate without yelling, attacking, or burning bridges How one courageous voice can shift an entire room Why integrity means doing what’s right — even when no one applauds If you want better leadership, better culture, and better rooms — we must be willing to interrupt what doesn’t belong. Because if you see harm and say nothing, silence becomes participation. When was the last time you witnessed something that didn’t sit right? What stopped you from speaking up in that moment? Where have you chosen comfort over courage? What would choosing integrity look like next time?
