    Ep 146: The ADHD Designer Brain in Business: Pivot or Push?

    There’s nothing more exciting than a new idea. A new offer or a fresh direction. For designers, especially those with ADHD or highly creative brains, novelty feels electric. It feels productive. It feels like momentum. But, are you making a strategic pivot or are you escaping the discomfort of the messy middle? In this episode, I'm diving into the unique wiring of the ADHD designer brain in business, the dopamine spikes, shiny object syndrome and the tendency to overbuild. You'll learn how to discern whether it’s time to shift or time to stay the course. Because hard doesn’t always mean wrong and boredom doesn’t always mean broken.

    Ep 145: What 3 Days at Disney Did to My Business

    I just spent three days at Disney for a mastermind with other entrepreneurs and it did more for my business than another month at my desk ever could.   This wasn’t about rides or ice cream (although…no regrets!), it was about perspective. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real ROI of getting out of your office and into a room that stretches your thinking.   Listen in to what those three days shifted for me, and what it could mean for you.

    Ep 144: The Micro Yes: Progress When Life Gets in the Way

    Life gets in the way. Not occasionally...constantly. And yet, most of us plan our businesses as if we’ll always have unlimited time, energy, and focus. In this episode, I talk about why planning for the best-case scenario sets us up to feel behind and frustrated, and how real progress actually happens when life is messy, distracting, and unpredictable. Instead of big gestures or perfect schedules, this conversation introduces the idea of the micro yes, the small, intentional choices we make daily (or hourly) that move us toward what matters. I'll share why consistency beats perfection, how attention has become our most valuable resource, and why visual reminders can help bring us back to center when motivation fades. Because progress isn’t built all at once, but one small yes at a time. Curious about working with me as your mentor and coach?

    Ep 143: Pricing, Process & the Power of No

    Once you stop negotiating against yourself, the real work begins. In this episode, I'm talking about what it actually looks like to put a healthier money mindset into action, through process, boundaries, and pricing decisions that support a sustainable business.   I cover why education is part of your role (but convincing isn’t), how your process acts as a filter for the right clients, what to do when budgets come up without discounting yourself, and why some clients opting out early is actually a win.   This is Part 2 of a two-part series on money mindset and pricing for designers, and it’s all about building momentum by holding the line on how you work!

    Ep 142: The Quiet Ways Designers Sabotage Their Own Pricing

    In this episode, we’re talking about the money mindset patterns that quietly hold designers back: fitting into client-imposed budgets, internalizing numbers as personal feedback, disqualifying opportunities too early, and negotiating against yourself before you even have the facts. If you’ve ever lowered your fee without being asked, assumed a client “couldn’t afford you,” or walked away from an opportunity before fully qualifying it, this conversation will change how you think about pricing. In this episode, we cover:Why client budgets often feel emotional, and how to stop taking them personallyHow designers create constraints in their own minds before clients ever doHow disqualifying opportunities too early keeps your business stuck  This episode is Part 1 of a two-part series on money mindset, pricing, and boundaries. In Part 2, we’ll talk about how to put this mindset into action, through process, pricing structure, and momentum. Curious about working with me as your mentor and coach?

    Ep 141: What Would Make 2026 Irreversible?

    Most years don’t fail, they fade. In this episode, I explore the difference between trying and deciding, and why the years that change everything are often quieter, more intentional, and rooted in a single clear choice. If you’ve ever found yourself living in “almost”, almost committed, almost ready, almost confident, this conversation will feel like a mirror. I also shares why real change rarely happens in isolation, and how clarity needs space and structure to turn into commitment. This episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and ask the question that matters most as you look ahead: What would make 2026 impossible to go back from?

    Ep 140: Stop Planning 2026 as Your Old Self

    Most people don’t fail at their goals because they lack discipline, they fail because they’re planning the future as a version of themselves they’ve already outgrown. In this episode, I talk about why identity matters more than strategy when it comes to planning a year that actually works, and how making decisions from your “old self” creates unnecessary friction, burnout, and stalled momentum.   You’ll hear how your calendar, pricing, and boundaries are shaped by who you believe you are, and what starts to shift when identity catches up with growth. This episode is a quiet invitation to stop forcing a new year from an old version of yourself and begin planning 2026 from a truer, more aligned place.

    Ep 139: 2026: The Year YOU Did it Differently

    Most people plan a new year by adding more goals, systems, and expectations...and end up overwhelmed before January even ends. In this episode, I share why I'm doing the opposite as I head into 2026, starting with subtraction instead of addition.   You’ll hear why releasing what no longer serves you isn’t quitting, but leadership, and how creating space is often the missing step between ambition and real momentum. If planning a new year already feels heavy, this conversation will feel like an exhale.   I’m hosting a live planning experience called 2026: The Year You Did It Differently, where we start with subtraction, clarity, and intention before we talk about goals or growth. If you’re ready for no more normal, this is for you. It's January 22, 2026 at 12pm. Sign up info is below. 👇 Curious about working with me as your mentor and coach?
