    4 Principles for Making Big, Scary Decisions

    Big, scary decisions have a way of consuming our thoughts at 2 AM, when the house is quiet and our mind races through every possible scenario of a decision that has been weighing on our heart for months… or maybe even years. Whether it's starting that business that keeps calling to you, leaving a soul-draining job, or making a major family move, we cycle through the same mental gymnastics - calculating risks, making endless pros and cons lists, hoping someone will just tell us what to do. But underneath all that mental churning lies a simple truth: the decision has already been made in our hearts. Join me today as I share lessons from my family’s big, scary decision to move from Maryland to Colorado. These principles apply whether you're contemplating starting a business, changing careers, or making any leap that's been calling your name. You'll learn practical ways to move past the paralysis of overthinking and into aligned action that honors both your dreams and the reality that growth always involves loss.

  2. Why Stay-at-Home Moms Make Great Entrepreneurs

    Why Stay-at-Home Moms Make Great Entrepreneurs

    Being a stay-at-home mom is like running the most complex organization in the world. You’re managing tiny humans with unpredictable schedules, big emotions, and endless to-dos, all while being on call 24/7. And even though you love your littles fiercely, it’s exhausting.  The tricky part is that the skills, expertise, and capabilities you’ve spent years building can feel like they’re gathering dust while you pour everything into caregiving. But you can love being home with your kids and still crave a space to grow, contribute, and create something uniquely yours. Join me this week as I show you how that longing for something you can call your own is pointing you toward the possibility of building a business that fulfills you and works around the life you’ve already built. You’ll also learn the four biggest obstacles that keep stay-at-home moms stuck in the dreaming phase, and give you practical strategies to overcome each one.

    Break the "Someday" Cycle: It’s Time to Start Your Business

    September has this fresh start energy that reminds me of January - the kids are back in school, you finally have a moment to breathe, and suddenly, those goals you set months ago start bubbling back up.  That quiet moment after drop-off, that first hot cup of coffee in months - these are the moments when that little voice whispers about the business idea you've been carrying around. But then the practical voice jumps in with all the reasons why you can't: no time, no idea where to start, not qualified enough. Tune in this week to hear why so many moms get caught up in the “someday” cycle, and what it takes to start building something that's truly yours before the year ends. If you’re ready to stop waiting and start building your business right now, you need to join my *FREE* webinar, Start a Business Before Winter Break.
