    155. The end of an era… My last episode…for now…

    Big news, friends: this is my last episode… for now.  After 3 years, 155 episodes, countless stories from the mountains, and so many lessons about building a business and outsmarting your brain, I’m officially pressing pause on the podcast. This isn’t the end, just a closing of a chapter while I pour my energy into growing True Adventure, leading CEO Society, hosting retreats, and serving my clients at the highest level. In this episode: Why I made the decision to step back from the podcast What’s next for True Adventure + CEO Society How I’m protecting my time, energy, and brain as a business owner The reminder every entrepreneur needs to hear when business feels hard Most importantly, I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for tuning in every Friday, for listening to my stories, for sharing your own breakthroughs, and for being a part of this adventure with me. This podcast has been one of the most incredible chapters of my business and life, and it exists because of YOU. This isn’t goodbye forever, it’s a pause. You’ve got 155 episodes to binge. And I’ll see you at a retreat, an event, or in a coaching container real soon. The true adventure is learning about yourself along the way. And I’m so grateful to be part of your journey.

    154. How to be the last man standing

    Most people don’t quit business because they couldn’t figure it out… they quit because they gave up too soon. And I refuse to be that person. In this episode, I’m breaking down what it really takes to stick around long enough to win. I’ll tell you straight up, the ones who survive year after year aren’t the ones with the flashiest brand or the best Instagram aesthetic, it’s the ones who keep showing up when everybody else taps out. In this episode:Why business feels like pushing a train at firstThe ugly-but-necessary truth about those first few yearsThe exact thing that could stop YOU and how to face it head-onHow I find the fuel to show up when I’d rather hide under the covers This isn’t about hustling yourself into the ground. It’s about making damn sure you’re still standing when the dust settles. Because that’s the game. That’s how you win. So buckle up, bestie, we’re talking about legacy, grit, and outlasting every excuse in the book. Resources: DM me on Instagram: instagram.com/trueadventureco

    153. Follow the right trail: trusting your gut in business

    Not every piece of advice will get you to your summit, and not every cairn (those stacked rocks marking a trail) is pointing you in the right direction. In this episode, I share a mountaineering story that turned into one of the best business analogies I’ve ever heard. We’re talking cairns and GPS, and how they relate to business mentors, investments, and your own gut instinct. In this episode: Why blindly following the wrong advice can take you miles off course How to know if a coach, mentor, or course is truly worth your time and money The one question I ask myself before I ever invest in someone’s programHow to strengthen your gut instinct so you can make faster, better decisions Why your own “internal GPS” will always beat any external validation If you’ve ever invested in something that didn’t pan out (or you’re trying to decide if your next move is the right one), this conversation is going to give you clarity, confidence, and a game plan.

    152. How to Reach Big Business Goals (Without Burning Out on the Way Up)

    You don’t have to stare at the summit to make progress. In fact, sometimes it’s better if you can’t see it at all. In this episode, I share the story of summiting Mount Sahale. There was fog. There was a sketchy rock scramble. There was a mountain goat we named Gerald (obviously).But the biggest lesson? Most of the climb, we couldn’t even see the summit, and honestly? That made it easier. We just kept moving. One step at a time. Focused on what was right in front of us. In this episode:Why constantly fixating on the end goal (like $100K months) can actually create overwhelmHow to reverse engineer your goals into simple, focused actionsWhat it looks like to move through the “switchbacks, scree fields, and glacier crossings” of businessThe mindset shift that helps you stay grounded, even when you can’t see how far you’ve come This one is for the dreamers, the doers, and the ones halfway up the mountain wondering if they’re still on track.

    151. CEO, Business Owner, or Burnt Out? How to Know the Difference

    Ever wonder if your identity as a business owner is helping you grow, or secretly holding you back? In this solo episode, I break down the real psychology behind your business identity and why your attachment to your work might be the very thing capping your success.

I also walk you through a powerful 7-question quiz to assess your current business identity and gives tangible next steps whether you're under-identifying, over-identifying, or sitting in a healthy middle. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why detaching your self-worth from your business results is crucial How to build a CEO identity that feels solid, even when things go sideways The surprising link between elite athletes and high-performing entrepreneurs How to finally clock out without guilt A personal story of burnout, business boundaries, and finding joy again Whether you're feeling stuck in hustle mode or struggling to feel like a real CEO, this episode will help you rewire your mindset and reclaim your power.

    150. The summit is only halfway

    Let’s just say this: I didn’t summit Mount Rainier because I trained harder than anyone else. I’m chatting about one of the most physically and mentally challenging things I’ve ever done, and the unexpected business lessons I learned along the way. Because the truth is:- You don’t have to hustle harder to hit your biggest goals- The people you surround yourself with matter more than you think- And reaching the summit? That’s only halfway. This story is about way more than hiking a mountain. It’s about trusting your foundation, leaning on the right support, and staying focused all the way through the descent. IN THIS EPISODE: Why more effort isn’t always the answer The kind of support that actually gets you to your goals How to lead without being the “most qualified” in the room What mountaineering taught me about celebrating wins and staying sharp And the reminder every entrepreneur needs: the summit is only halfway.

    148. My dream workshop came true, how I got 500 signups on my biggest workshop yet!

    This was the biggest workshop I’ve ever led… 500+ people registered. A brand I’ve admired for years. And a moment I’ll never forget. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the full story of how it all came together, from sending that bold email, to prepping like my future self depended on it (because she did), to practicing in my living room like I already had the mic. It’s not about being the most “qualified.” It’s about raising your hand, following up, and showing up with your whole heart when the moment arrives. In this episode: - How I landed a dream workshop with HoneyBook - The behind-the-scenes prep that helped me feel confident on the big day - My honest thoughts on nerves, ovulation, hard pants, and hyping yourself up - Why YOU can create your own version of this… no magic tricks required If you’ve got a big goal on your heart, this is your permission slip to go for it. Let’s talk about what it really takes to turn opportunities into breakthroughs.
