    Ep. 130: Is it Time to Say Goodbye? 3 Signs You're Ready to Leave Your 9-5 Job for Full-Time Entrepreneurship

    Are you daydreaming about quitting your 9-5, walking out in slow motion after handing in your resignation letter, and never looking back? (I see you!!) In this episode, I dive into the 3 must have signs that you're ready to finally ditch the corporate grind and go all in on your business! I guide you through the non-negotiables - because leaving a consistent paycheck isn't all about vibes and vision boards. It's about being strategic, smart, and prepared. But don't worry - we'll make it fun along the way! Because what's a major life move without a little sass?? 3 Signs You're Ready to Leave your 9-5 Job for Full-Time Entrepreneurship You have a solid financial foundation. No, you don't need to be rolling in cash, but a strategic financial runway is going to really help you fill in the gap as you work to build you business to where it needs to be in order to replace your 9-5 salary. You also need to have a plan for how you're going to replace whatever benefits you might be losing when you leave your 9-5 job. Benefits like health insurance, retirement contributions, etc. Another piece to this financial foundation is that you need to separate your business money from your personal money. This means, at minimum, you have to open at least one business bank account. Your business is generating revenue. And not only that, but you have evidence that it can grow. You have evidence that what you are providing is something people want or need, and something they're willing to PAY for. And you need to have an idea of how long it's going to take for your business to replace the income you're losing when you leave your job. You have a strong support system. Entrepreneurship can feel lonely AF, so make sure you have a strong support system. A supportive partner can be invaluable. You also need to make sure you have a community of likeminded women who are on a similar journey who you can connect with, as well as mentors or guides who can help you along the way.

    Ep. 128: How to Create the Perfect Solo Retreat

    As this episode is released, I am currently on a solo retreat across a few different parts of Arizona. I'm starting out in the Phoenix area, getting comfortable in what I plan to make my second home over the next couple of years, then spending a few days at an event in Scottsdale, and then traveling to Sedona to spend some time hiking in the red rocks and soaking up all the vortex energy. And in this episode, I share how I created the plan for this entire retreat - which includes a lot of time alone, a lot of time in nature, riding horses, hiking, doing yoga, visiting art museums, and lots of time and space for reflecting. It also includes some time for connecting and relationship building. I discuss the intentions I set prior to creating the itinerary for this retreat and how I used those intentions to shape my itinerary. And I share the ways you can set your own intentions and then use those intentions in creating your own solo retreat, whether you're traveling somewhere far away or staying close to home. ********** Connect with Josie: Website: josiesmithcoaching.com 1:1 Coaching with Josie (3 month coaching program, by application only) 90 Minute Success Strategy Session The 30-Day Purpose Journal: Reconnect with yourself, realign with your purpose, and reignite your dreams Get a FREE copy of the one week version of the journal.

    Ep. 127: Leaning Into Challenges to Connect with your Purpose (with Kendall Lanning)

    In today's episode, I'm talking with Kendall Lanning. Kendall embodies what it truly looks like to live a life as a multi-passionate human who embraces her gifts, her light, and even her struggles, to elevate her life's path and to bring light to everyone she serves. She's a certified child life specialist, certified yoga instructor, certified grief facilitator, Reiki practitioner, sound healing practitioner, artist, and author. And in this conversation, we dig into her journey of first discovering yoga and sound healing, of finding her dream job as a child life specialist at Children's Hospital, and of becoming a published author of children's books. Kendall's books address difficult topics like grief and transition in a way that not only meet children where they are and provide them with the language they need in order to understand and cope with challenging circumstances, but they also provide parents and caregivers with tools and activities to use to further understand and support their children on these sometimes difficult life journeys. You'll also hear about Kendall's own personal struggle with reading - she didn't even read her first book until she was in her 30s! And how she navigated this particular challenge in a way that ultimately empowered her to step into her purpose as a published author! ********** Connect with Kendall: Website: padmalight.com Follow on IG: @padma.light Kendall's books: The Fox and the Feather (buy on Amazon) Always Home (buy on Amazon) ********** Connect with Josie: Website: josiesmithcoaching.com 1:1 Coaching with Josie (3 month coaching program, by application only) 90 Minute Success Strategy Session The 30-Day Purpose Journal: Reconnect with yourself, realign with your purpose, and reignite your dreams Get a FREE copy of the one week version of the journal.

    Ep. 125: Don't Fall for Manipulative Marketing!

    Coming at you today with a quick bitch sesh! It's been awhile since I've done one of these! And today I am talking about work-life-balance. Or work-life-harmony. Or work-life-integration. Because you can call it whatever the eff you want to call it! But so many people today in the coaching space and the personal development space would have you think that "work-life-balance" isn't attainable. But they turn around and slap another name on it - they call it "harmony" or "integration" instead - and suddenly it becomes this magical, realistic, attainable vision, and THEY have the secret coaching program that's gonna help you reach it! And. I mean. WTAF?! Unfortunately, there are a lot of really good marketers out there masquerading as coaches. They prey on people's fears and struggles and insecurities, and sadly, too many people buy into it, spend a lot of money, and end up getting hurt. And I'm tired of it. So in this episode, I give you some things to consider when you're trying to decide whether or not to invest in a coaching relationship. Because there are too many beautiful, caring, competent, in integrity coaches and mentors in this world who CAN help you through whatever it is you're navigating. Who CAN help you achieve the dreams and the visions you want to achieve. Who will support you and guide you and cheer you on. And I want you to surround yourself with THOSE people! ********** Connect with Josie: Website: josiesmithcoaching.com 1:1 Coaching with Josie (3 month coaching program, by application only) 90 Minute Success Strategy Session The 30-Day Purpose Journal: Reconnect with yourself, realign with your purpose, and reignite your dreams Get a FREE copy of the one week version of the journal.

    Ep. 124: The Health Conversation you Can't Ignore as a High Achieving Entrepreneur (with Katy Saltsman)

    In today's episode, I am talking with Katy Saltsman. Katy is a nutritionist, personal trainer, speaker, and business mentor on a mission to change the conversation around health, wealth, and happiness for women. She helps women master their hormones, metabolism, and health; and also helps female entrepreneurs master their highest self and wealth. She has helped hundreds of women live their happiest and healthiest lives; she runs a top podcast called Crying Burns Calories, and is the authenticity queen when it comes to running and scaling a business and brand that lights you up. We talk about everything in this conversation! We talk about the importance of physical, mental, and emotional health as entrepreneurs, and how our health impacts our ability to be effective business owners. We talk about important health habits to implement as high achieving, goal focused, driven women and business owners. We discuss weight loss, balancing hormones, gut health, nutrition hacks, morning and evening routines, and honoring what our bodies need without feeling like we need to simultaneously deprive ourselves of the things that bring us joy. Katy shares her journey of beginning in nursing school, to transitioning into becoming a hairstylist, to then shifting into the fitness and personal training space - only to find herself discouraged with the "big box gym" mentality and eventually breaking out into building her own personal brand, providing individualized health, fitness, and nutrition coaching to women. As Katy worked with women on their health and fitness journeys, she began to notice a pattern - so many of the women coming to her for health coaching were entrepreneurs and business owners - which led her to finding her unique niche, combining business and health coaching and helping entrepreneurs build personal brands, authentically aligned businesses, and create wealth for themselves and their families; all while honoring themselves, their bodies, their health, and equipping them to design a business and a life that's not only profitable, but that brings them so much joy and fulfillment! ********** Connect with Katy: Check out her podcast!
