    129. The Cost of Indecision: What Happens When You Don’t Choose

    Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing that you want something different. It’s deciding what to do about it. When we’re unsure which path to take, it can feel safer to wait until we have more information, more certainty, or a clearer picture of what comes next. But staying in that place can keep us from discovering what’s actually possible. In this episode, I talk about the cost of indecision and why you don’t have to know exactly how everything will work out before you make a move. I share what it was like to spend six years in decision limbo during my corporate career, and I explore the idea that the life we’re living right now isn’t the only life available to us. I also share the poem The Fig Tree by Sylvia Plath and why its image of all the possibilities in front of us made me want to have this conversation.

    128. Sleep, Motherhood, and Building a Business That Fits Your Life with Jessica DeNotta

    You can love being a mom and still want something that challenges you, gives you a sense of accomplishment, and is yours. But building a business around motherhood also means being honest about the season of life you’re in, including how much time, energy, and sleep you actually have. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and past coaching client Jessica DeNotta, founder of Childhood by Design. Jessica shares how she went from being an elementary school teacher and mom of four to building her own business as a sleep consultant. We talk about how she realized her first business idea wasn’t the right fit, why changing direction wasn’t a waste of time, and how paying attention to what people were already coming to her for helped her find the business that fit her life.

    127. Close Your Tabs: How to Conserve Your Mental Energy for Your Business & Family

    Have you ever been in the middle of something and suddenly remembered the permission slip you need to sign, the birthday text you forgot to send, or the thing you need to buy for your kid’s school party? Those little reminders have a way of popping into our heads at the least convenient times. And even when the tasks themselves are small, carrying all of them around can take up a surprising amount of mental energy. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned from thinking about those unfinished tasks as open tabs in our brains, and why closing some of them can help us conserve energy for our businesses, our families, and the things that matter most. I also tell you the end-of-day practice I’ve used for years to close out my tabs and start fresh.

    126. Why You Don’t Need Social Media to Start a Business

    If you’ve been putting off starting a business because you think you’ll have to become a social media person, I have good news: you don’t. Social media can be a useful tool for some businesses, but it isn’t the price of admission to entrepreneurship. In this episode, I explore what actually matters when you’re starting a business, when using social media makes sense, and the simple thing I want you to try this week if social media has been keeping you from getting started.

    125. Setting Goals When You Don’t Know How You'll Reach Them

    Have you ever had a goal that you really wanted, but had absolutely no idea how you were going to make it happen? Maybe you’ve thought about quitting your job, starting a business, or creating a different kind of life, but the path from where you are now to where you want to be feels impossible to see. That doesn’t mean you’re not ready to begin. In this episode, I share the story of a goal I wrote down almost a decade ago and finally achieved: hosting a retreat for my clients in Colorado. We’ll look at why your goals should be connected to how you want your life to feel, rather than simply what you think you’re supposed to accomplish, and why you don’t need to know the entire how before you take the first step. Sometimes the next step only becomes clear once you start moving.

    124. How Doing Less Can Help You Grow Your Business

    When you’re building a business alongside motherhood, it’s easy to believe that doing more is the answer. More strategies, more content, more learning, more clients, more time spent trying to make everything work. But sometimes, trying to do too much is actually making it harder to create the results you want. In this episode, I share what I’ve learned about doing less in my own business, from stepping away from strategies that took more energy than they were worth to letting go of the pressure to create the perfect signature system. I’m not talking about stopping your efforts or hoping your business will magically grow. I’m talking about taking some of the pressure off, trusting yourself, and focusing on what actually moves you forward. You don’t have to make every action a home run. Sometimes, you just need to put the ball in play, keep showing up, and take the next step.

    123. The Enoughness Problem: How to Stop Building Your Life From Lack

    We all have some area of our lives where we’re wondering if we have enough. Enough time, enough money, enough energy, enough support, or enough of something else. But constantly focusing on what’s missing can actually make it harder to create the life we want. In this episode, I explore what I call the enoughness problem and why it can follow us into every area of our lives, including entrepreneurship. I share stories from my own life and coaching, including a client who felt like she didn’t have enough time with her kids and my own experience of feeling like I wasn’t doing enough at home or wasn’t supported enough. I help you see how focusing on lack can affect the way you experience the life you already have.

    122. Rediscover Your Voice: Speaking with Confidence and Connection with Alexina Atin Shaber

    You can have a great business strategy, an amazing offer, and a clear idea of who you want to help, but at some point, you have to be willing to talk about what you do and why it matters. For many of us, especially through the transition into motherhood and entrepreneurship, using our voice with confidence can feel much harder than it sounds. In this episode, I’m joined by my friend Alexina Atin Shaber, a communication coach who helps women rediscover and strengthen their voices. We talk about what it means to sound like yourself, how your voice can create connection, and why speaking from the heart can be so much more powerful than trying to sound polished or perfect. If you’ve been holding back from sharing what you really think, care about, or have to offer, I hope this conversation gives you a little more confidence to use your voice.
