    117: Navigating Entrepreneurship Through Massive Change With Kelsey Smith

    Are you feeling that little itch—the one telling you it’s time to take a step, make a move, and shake things up? Oh, friend, you are not alone. 🙌 In the latest episode of Do Life Big, I sat down with the incredible Kelsey Smith, a powerhouse entrepreneur who’s no stranger to massive change. 🌪️ Kelsey’s story is wild—from juggling three littles under five (yes, THREE!) to leaving behind a 10-year career that no longer lit her up, she’s a walking, talking lesson in trusting yourself and stepping into the unknown. She reminded me (and now I’m reminding you):👉 The answers you’re looking for? They’re already within you.👉 You don’t need to figure it all out at once. Just take the first step.👉 Trust yourself—your inner voice is never wrong. Real talk: Entrepreneurship, life pivots, or even just navigating your next big decision can feel terrifying. But as Kelsey shared, every step forward, even a small one, is a win. And when you stop looking for external validation and start tuning into your own voice—oh man, the magic happens. ✨ 💡 Key Takeaways from the Episode:1️⃣ Burn the Boats: Sometimes you’ve gotta let go of the safety net to truly soar.2️⃣ Quiet the Noise: Turn off the distractions, grab a journal, and listen to YOU.3️⃣ Get Help: Whether it’s a mentor, a coach, or someone to watch the kids for an hour, lean into support—because you can’t do it all.   Kelsey Smith is a mom to three under 5, married for 8 years, a serial entrepreneur, and lives in Charlotte NC. She's here to help you STAND OUT on social media. With more than a decade of experience in social selling, she has made it her mission to help entrepreneurs master their brand and content strategy to grow their businesses and make more money.

    116: 6 Steps for Breaking Free from Overwhelm

    Quick question: ever feel like life’s throwing everything at you, all at once? Like you’re running around with your head spinning faster than a hamster on a wheel? 🐹💨 Yep, I’ve been there too. That’s why I couldn’t wait to share this email with you. It’s time to crush that overwhelm and take back control—together! 🙌 Here’s the deal: overwhelm isn’t a life sentence. It’s just your mind and body waving a giant “SLOW DOWN” sign. 🛑 And trust me, pushing through isn’t the answer. Your body’s not a machine (even though I know you hustle like one 😉). It needs some TLC—and I’ve got just the toolkit to help. The 6 Steps to Breaking Free from Overwhelm Ready to take a breather and regroup? Let’s dive in: 1️⃣ Breathe. Seriously, when’s the last time you stopped to take a big, deep breath? In through the nose, out through the mouth. Just a few breaths can slow your heart rate and melt away that anxious feeling. 🌬️ 2️⃣ Do one thing at a time. Forget the 40-item to-do list. Focus on the ONE thing that matters most right now. Trust me, your list isn’t going anywhere. You’ve got this. 💪 3️⃣ Prioritize & simplify. Every night, pick just three must-dos for the next day. Circle them, highlight them, whatever. Keep it simple and stay focused. 4️⃣ Say “no” more often. Stop trying to please everyone. It’s okay to say, “Let me think about it,” or even a polite, “No thanks.” Permission granted to prioritize YOU. 🙅‍♀️ 5️⃣ Do more of what you love. Remember joy? Bring it back. Whether it’s a beach walk, a good book, or a solo dance party in your living room, carve out time for the things that light you up. 💃🌊 6️⃣ Journal it out. Got a storm of thoughts in your head? Get them out of there! Write it down, read it back, and decide if it’s really worth the mental space. Spoiler: most of it isn’t. 📝 Overwhelm Is Temporary, My Friend It doesn’t own you. You’ve got the power to hit pause, regroup, and tackle life one step at a time. And hey, we’re in this together. 💕 So, grab those six steps, keep them handy, and the next time overwhelm tries to sneak in, you’ll be ready to shut it down like the boss you are. 👊   Hey there!

    115: Overcoming Fear and Embracing Growth

    We all know that nagging little voice that tries to convince us to stay in our comfort zone. You know the one—it’s that “little inner critic” telling you, “Nah, you can’t do that. It’s too scary.” Yeah, that voice. I like to call it the “little b*tch voice.” 😅 But here’s the deal: if you’re going to Do Life Big, you’ve got to learn how to conquer that voice and step into the life you deserve. Your brain is wired to keep you safe, to keep you comfy. But everything you’ve ever dreamed of? It’s sitting right on the other side of that fear. 🏔️ Will Smith said it best: “God put all the amazing things in life on the other side of fear.” And guess what? Everyone experiences fear. It’s not just you! The difference between staying stuck and living your best life is learning to push through it. 💥 When you feel fear creeping in, that’s not a sign to run—it’s a signal that you’re on the edge of growth. 🙌 Imagine it: the sweaty palms, the racing heart… that’s your body saying, “Hey, you’re about to level up!” So next time your inner voice whispers, “Don’t do it, it’s too risky,” what do you do? Do it anyway. 🚀 I recently had the chance to apply to speak at my kids’ school. My gut reaction? “NO WAY.” But guess what? I submitted the form. And yeah, I’m still waiting to hear back, but the point is, I acted despite the fear. That’s how we grow, my friend. So, What Now? Recognize that your inner voice will always try to keep you safe, but it doesn’t tell the truth. Next time it says, “Don’t start that project” or “Sleep in, you can work out tomorrow,” do the opposite. That’s how you reclaim your power and show that voice who’s boss. 💪 And hey, if you need a little extra help rewiring those thoughts, check out my free workbook: “Think This, Not That.” It’s packed with tips to switch out limiting beliefs for empowering ones.

    114: Why Change Feels Hard and How to Break the Cycle

    Today, we’re talking BIG change energy—why it’s so hard to break out of old habits, and what we can do to create the change we actually want. If you’ve ever wondered why it feels like an uphill battle to start (and keep) those life shifts going, this episode’s made for YOU! Here’s the deal: changing our ways isn’t just about commitment; it’s about how we see ourselves deep down. We get stuck because our brain wants to stay consistent with our self-image. (Ever found yourself saying, “Well, that’s just who I am”? 🧐) But here’s the kicker: You are under ZERO obligation to be the same person you were five minutes ago. Imagine this: every belief you’ve held, every habit, every “this is just who I am” moment—it’s all changeable. Yes, really! The episode dives into how we can reframe those thoughts and shift out of old cycles. Think of it as giving your brain (and your life!) a makeover. ✨ Here’s what’s coming your way: The Commitment & Consistency Principle: Why we hold onto beliefs about ourselves and how they influence our actions. It’s WILD how this shapes us! How small changes in our beliefs can unlock massive potential. Real talk about cognitive dissonance—and why it might be why you feel stuck. A pep talk (from me to you 🫶) to encourage a little healthy self-reflection on who YOU want to be moving forward. We’re all about breaking free and designing our future selves! So if you’re ready to stop unconsciously following the script and start owning your story, hit play now. And hey, let’s take on this challenge together—one new belief at a time. Can’t wait to hear how you’ll show up for your future self after this one. 🚀 Hey there! Thanks for listening! ⭐  Help me spread the word about Do Life Big!

    112: Shifting from a Scarcity to Abundance Mindset for Greater Success

    Let me ask you something... Have you ever felt like you’re stuck behind this invisible glass ceiling, thinking, “I can’t have it all”? Well, guess what? That’s just a lie we’ve been programmed to believe. 😲 The truth? You can have it ALL – a thriving business and an amazing personal life. A successful career and time with your family. Abundance is your birthright! 🌿💫 Kids are a perfect example – they don’t see limits. They don’t worry about what’s realistic. They dream big, and they go after it without hesitation. But somewhere along the way, we start listening to society telling us, “You can’t have this and that. You have to choose.” Scarcity mindset alert! 🚨 But here’s the thing: Life isn’t about either/or... it’s about and. You can be an awesome entrepreneur and a rockstar parent. You can crush your business goals and take your dream vacation. Everything is possible if you make that simple mindset shift from “or” to “and”. 💥 So, how do we make this happen? It starts with setting boundaries, evolving, and giving 100% to whatever’s in front of you – business, family, life. 🌱 When you show up fully, everything grows. You grow. Your abundance grows. The universe is abundant. Just look at nature – it never stops giving. 🍏🌳 If apple trees can produce hundreds of apples, why can’t you have all the things you desire? Scarcity is just a story we’ve adopted. But you, my friend, are capable of rewriting that story. ✍️💫 So, let’s make this a reality. What’s one thing you can let go of right now that’s been holding you back? What would your life look like if you fully embraced abundance? Take this as your sign. It’s time to flip that switch and step into your and life. ⚡️ I’m cheering you on every step of the way! Let’s build this life of abundance, together. 🥂💥 Hey there!
