Getting help to grow your dreams
In this week's solo episode, I share three core stages of my business, the mindset changes I made along the way, and the support I leaned on to make my dreams happen. I also share why my husband decided to be a stay-at-home dad, and how we have made decisions in alignment with the life we want—not what society thinks we should do.
I recorded this episode on Independence Day in the US, as I was reflecting on what independence means to me. (Hint: It's not the American value of self-sufficiency.) I can’t think of a better topic to share this week as I reflect with gratitude on thirteen years of business and all the help my family and I have gotten along the way.

One of my favorites
I always look forward to new episodes. Stacy Ennis is an engaging host who finds interesting guests and topics. This show is at the top of my short list of favorite podcasts.
Smart, practical, and easy listening!
Besides her podcast having accessible, practical knowledge that can be easily applied to my life, I enjoy listening to Stacy’s insights~ she is real, relatable, genuine, and someone I wish I could sit down with over a cup of coffee and bounce ideas off of! Be sure to have paper and pen in hand if you want tips that work for creating a better life and career. (Psst! I’m a stay at home mom and her ideas are still relevant!) Her story is pretty amazing and yet I think we can each identify with her journey at one point or another.
Must-listen for entrepreneurs
This is one of my go-to podcasts. It’s the perfect blend of inspiration, engaging stories, and—my favorite—actionable advice. Great for anyone who wants to elevate their life and work, but especially helpful for me as an entrepreneur who is focused on growing my business and impact.
