    38: The System for Training and Trusting Your Team with Abby Martinez

    Delegation is often misunderstood in the entrepreneurial world. Many business owners associate hiring help with losing control, adding stress, or spending money without real results. If you’re asking whether you should hire, you’re probably already overdue. And not just hire… hire with intention. This week, we're joined by Abby Martinez to discuss how you can train a team that you trust. She’s a mom of two, a certified coach, and a systems nerd who believes structure creates freedom — and she’s here to tell us how to hire, train, delegate, and keep things running smoothly without burnout. This episode is brought to you by The Entrepreneur's Death Folder: If your business couldn’t run without you, that’s a problem—a haunting your assistant from the beyond kind of problem. That’s where the Entrepreneur’s Death Folder comes in. It’s your digital contingency plan: all your logins, contacts, workflows, and need-to-knows in one tidy, shareable place. Less spooky, more smart. Because peace of mind is the ultimate productivity tool.

    31: The System for the First Year of Motherhood (Spoiler Alert: There Isn't One)

    This one is personal. A year ago, I became a mother overnight and nothing has been the same since. This episode originally aired on Joy Michelle’s podcast, Called to Both, where I shared the raw truth of what that first month of motherhood looked like: NICU alarms, stress vomiting, work deadlines, and the tiniest, bravest baby I’ve ever known. It’s a story of chaos, love, reinvention, and survival. To celebrate Ellie’s first birthday, I wanted to give you the full picture: who I was in those early days and who I am now. I hope you enjoy this permission slip to drop the plan, embrace the mess, and find grace along the way.
