    The Never Show Weakness Rule: Why Vulnerability is a Strength

    We were taught that strong leaders never cry, never rest, and never let anyone see the cracks. But what if the real power in vulnerability is what makes us stronger, not weaker? In this episode, I’m breaking the old rule that says leadership means keeping it all together. I’ll share how one conversation with my therapist changed everything and showed me that vulnerability is a strength worth leaning into. You’ll see how to lead with vulnerability, how vulnerability and leadership are deeply connected, and how honesty builds more trust than perfection ever could. Inside this episode: The hidden cost of holding everything togetherWhat happens when you finally let people see your humanityHow vulnerability and leadership create real team trust and connectionWhy the power in vulnerability changes the way you show up and leadA weekly challenge to practice what true strength looks like in your business When you lead with vulnerability, you stop performing and start connecting. The truth is that vulnerability is a strength that transforms your business, your team, and your life.

    The Blueprint Rule: From Burnout to Balance

    I used to believe that if I just followed the business playbook, I would finally get it right. Someone always had the perfect plan, the proven steps, the secret formula. But the truth is, the business playbook was never written for women like us. It left me exhausted, second-guessing myself, and completely out of alignment. In this episode of #ActuallyICan, I am sharing how chasing someone else’s version of success led me from burnout to balance and how I found the clarity to build a values-driven business that actually fits my life.  You will hear me share: Why following someone else’s rules never leads to freedomHow I learned to create my own sustainable growth formulaThe small mindset shifts that brought me from burnout to balanceHow I use strategy ideas that actually fit who I amWhat it means to make every choice a values-driven one I also talk about the strategy ideas that helped me move from burnout to balance while building a sustainable growth formula rooted in my own values. These strategy ideas are about doing less, trusting yourself more, and creating space for what actually matters. If you are tired of trying to fit into someone else’s mold, this conversation will help you start building your own sustainable growth formula with confidence and clarity. Because the truth is, your business only works when it works for you. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Grove Female Founders Collective Meetups - Join us for FREE!

    The Competition Rule: Building a Better Sisterhood

    We’ve all been taught that business is a battlefield, that someone else’s win means our loss. But that rule was never written for us. In this episode, I’m tearing down the competition rule and replacing it with something far stronger: collaboration, connection, and community. I’ll share how choosing collaboration vs competition has shaped every part of my work, from running a wine bar and coffee shop to building a coaching practice rooted in generosity. You’ll hear how an abundant mindset creates more growth, more opportunity, and more real relationships. Because when women shift from competition to collaboration, we create space for being abundant and building something that lasts. When women collaborate instead of competing, we grow stronger together. That’s how we build businesses that are both value-driven and sustainable. These are the kinds of business sustainability strategies that don’t just make money once; they build long-term trust, impact, and freedom. Inside this episode: • The mindset shift from scarcity to being abundant in life and business • How to create partnerships rooted in trust and business confidence • Why collaboration vs competition changes everything about your growth strategy • Real-world business sustainability strategies that balance profit and purpose • The power of building value-driven relationships that expand your reach If you’re ready to stop competing for crumbs and start creating real success together, this episode will remind you that true business confidence comes from community, not comparison.

    The Keep It Impersonal Rule

    For decades, women have been told to stay polished, professional, and detached in order to be taken seriously. But the truth is, that old keep it impersonal rule never really served us. The new rules for women in business are about authentic leadership, connection, and humanity. In this episode, I share lessons from building multiple brick-and-mortar businesses and how I discovered that workplace culture is one of the biggest game-changers in business. I’ll show you why building a positive workplace culture starts with leading as your real self, not a polished version of you. Because when you lean into your quirks, humor, and lived experiences, you not only strengthen your team but also prove exactly why culture is important in business. Inside this episode: Why the keep it impersonal rule is outdated and ineffectiveHow my approach to authentic leadership transformed my wine bar and coffee shop teams into true communitiesThe surprising ways employees want to feel valued beyond moneyWhy personal stories like burnout, motherhood, or failure are assets when building a positive workplace cultureHow to apply the new rules for women in business as a midlife woman entrepreneur leading with authenticityWhy embracing imperfection proves that workplace culture and humanity go hand in hand If you’re a midlife woman entrepreneur ready to stop sanding down your edges and start leaning into authentic leadership, this episode will give you the encouragement and strategies you need. Forget perfection – focus on building a positive workplace culture that lasts, because it’s the clearest example of why culture is important in business. 👉 If this episode hit home, you’ll love The Grove – my monthly membership where midlife woman entrepreneurs gather to rewrite the old rules of business together. From money to mindset to workplace culture, we normalize the conversations most people keep impersonal.  Or, if you’re looking for a weekly dose of strategy and real talk, hop on my newsletter for no-fluff insights to help you build the business you actually want.

    The Don't Talk About Money Rule

    We’ve all heard it: polite people don’t talk about money. But for women - and especially for the female business owner - that rule has fueled decades of money shame and silence.

Inside this episode: Why women are taught to don’t talk about money and how that leads to money shameHow I learned to stop hiding debt and start answering “what do you charge” without apologySneaky ways money shaming shows up in your business as a female business ownerWhy saying your rates confidently (and not discounting) shifts your relationship with moneyPractical steps to turn money shame into self-care and growth If you’ve ever wondered how to answer “what do you charge” or felt the sting of money shaming, this is your reminder: you’re allowed to want more, and you don’t have to stay silent. 👉 Come join me inside The Grove where we host monthly money meetings to normalize these conversations.

    The Play Small Rule - And How We’re Breaking Out of the Box

    Are you tired of playing small in your business? In this episode, I open up about how the “play small rule” has kept women like us stuck for decades - and how we can finally stop playing small, start overcoming self doubt, and stop apologizing for taking up space in our lives and businesses. For years, I thought being agreeable and shrinking myself made me safe and likable. But the truth? It only kept me invisible, underpaid, and playing small.  If you’ve ever caught yourself apologizing before you even speak, calling your business “just a side hustle,” or playing small because you don’t want to seem “too much,” this one is for you. In this episode, we’ll explore: Why playing small feels safe - but secretly keeps you stuck in fear and invisibility.The turning point when I realized I had to stop playing small, even if it meant losing people along the way.The subtle ways women apologize, shrink, and self-sabotage without realizing it - and how to finally stop apologizing.What it actually looks like when we start overcoming self doubt and step into the space your gifts were meant to take up.How rewriting this rule doesn’t mean steamrolling every room - it means showing up fully and unapologetically as yourself. This week’s challenge for you: Find one area where you’ve been playing small. Maybe it’s the way you talk about money. Maybe it’s how you describe what you do. Maybe it’s holding back from sharing a win. Wherever you notice yourself shrinking - do the opposite. Say the thing. Claim the win. Send the pitch. Raise the price. Then DM me on Instagram: @katyripp and tell me how it goes. I’d love to hear where you’re stepping out of the box.

    The Grind or Die Rule

    What if I told you that hustle culture is actually keeping you from the very success you’re chasing?  We’ve been told that burning the midnight oil, sacrificing rest, and saying yes to everything is what it takes to “make it” in business. But in reality, that’s just toxic hustle culture talking - and it’s stealing your joy, your health, and your freedom. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal story of how the “grind or die” rule shaped my identity as a business owner, why it doesn’t work (especially for women), and how I finally started working with my personal energy instead of against it. This isn’t about doing more, it’s about honoring your cycles, protecting your energy in business, and building something that feels like true sustainable work - not survival. Here’s what you’ll hear inside this episode: Why hustle culture taught us to wear overwork like a badge - and the moment I realized I had just bought myself another job instead of building freedom.The hidden ways toxic hustle culture shows up in women-run businesses, and why it was never designed for us in the first place.How ignoring your personal energy leads to burnout, resentment, and exhaustion - and why tuning into your natural rhythms can change everything.A new rule for how to manage your energy in business daily, weekly, and even seasonally - so you stop forcing productivity and start creating flow.Practical shifts that turn constant grind into truly sustainable work, giving you back time, joy, and permission to actually rest. This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to prove yourself by running on empty. You can succeed by respecting your humanity, honoring your cycles, and letting your personal energy be the guide for how you show up in business. This week’s reflection: What’s one new way you can work or rest to honor your personal energy in business this week?
