    165 | Stop Polling the Internet: Build CEO Self-Trust in Your Decisions

    In this episode, I talk about how entrepreneurs often outsource decisions by polling social media, friends, competitors, or even ChatGPT, and how letting in too many voices creates confusion and pulls you away from your own clarity. I outline how to build CEO self-trust by sitting with decisions before seeking input, tuning into what feels right for you, committing to choices even without 100% certainty, and using others’ feedback as data rather than the decision. I also describe practicing with low-stakes choices like dinner, tracking patterns through journaling, stopping permission-seeking, and learning from outcomes to strengthen confidence.

    164 | Decide to Be Ready: Overcoming the Myth of Perfection

    In this Monday Moment episode of Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk about how waiting to feel “ready” or for things to be perfect is keeping us stuck. This week, I challenge you to do one thing you’ve been delaying—send the email, raise your prices, make the ask—before you feel ready.

    163 | Soft Leadership, Strong Boundaries: The Power of Quiet “No”

    Ever wonder what it really takes to build a business and a life that feels like yours? In this episode of Big CEO Energy, I’m sharing the word that’s been bubbling up for me—softness—and what I believe every soft-hearted leader needs to hear: I can be soft and still say no without guilt.  I talk about why empathetic, people-oriented leaders struggle to set boundaries, how saying yes when I mean no costs me my peace, energy, and time, and how trying to lead in someone else’s louder style burned me out. I break down what “quiet power” looks like—discernment over reaction, steadiness over urgency, and long-term vision over short-term hype—and the practical ways I’m choosing to lead: stop apologizing for my pace, prioritize depth over frequency, schedule reflection time, and let my work speak.

    162 | CEO Energy at Home: Lead Your Life Like You Lead Your Business

    What if the reason you feel stretched thin isn’t your business at all—but the way you’re leading (or not leading) your life at home?  In this episode, we break down what it looks like to bring “CEO energy” into your personal life: setting and honoring boundaries around time, energy, and capacity; prioritizing rest and health as non-negotiables; and making executive decisions based on your values instead of everyone else’s urgency.  You’ll hear practical examples of delegating, automating, and eliminating draining tasks—plus five ways to start leading your life like your most important responsibility. 01:27 Why Home Leadership Matters 03:46 Pride and Asking for Help 08:00 Boundaries Rest and Capacity 09:18 Delegate Automate Eliminate 13:24 Time Is Money Mindset 18:48 Where CEO Energy Shows Up 20:10 Pick One Area to Fix 22:51 Five Steps to Start Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    161 | Make Your Bank Your Personal Assistant: Budget Besties on Simple, Automated Budgeting

    Are you making good money but still feel like you have nothing to show for it? In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I sit down with Shayna and Vanessa (the Budget Besties) to talk about the “B word”—budgets—and my big aha moment: you can make your bank your personal assistant with simple automations and little to no tracking.  We unpack why most budgets feel overwhelming, how their one-page, five-column budget simplifies everything (income, debt minimums, bills, spending, savings), and how separating your money into multiple accounts creates calm and clarity. Listen now to discover: why tracking only tells you what already happened (and what to do instead), how to do a simple 90-day audit to set realistic spending categories, and how to automate bill pay and transfers on payday for both personal and business budgets (including savings buckets like taxes, annual bills, and profit).

    160 | Soft Leadership, Strong Revenue: Healing My Money Mindset as a CEO

    Do you ever get the feeling of guilty for wanting more? May you are undercharging to avoid seeming greedy, overdelivering without boundaries, or avoiding sales because it feels pushy. In today’s episode, I share how growing up broke shaped my belief that money was only for bills and that wanting profit meant I didn’t care about people, and how that affected my early business.  I reframe money as a tool, not a test of character, and explain why I can be kind, generous, and empathetic while still building a profitable, sustainable business and I share practices like separating my worth from my income, receiving without shame, charging based on value, and raising prices in small steps. Tune in to this episode if you are yearning for a renewed relationship with your business, and your money. Timestamps: 01:29 My Money Story 03:09 Guilt and Generosity Myths 07:47 How It Shows Up 09:50 Raising Prices Gradually 11:47 Money as a Tool 13:18 Build Healthier Money Habits 16:18 Kind and Profitable Links Mentioned: Financial Coaching for Women Podcast Episode Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    159 | Crafting Your Unique Success Equation: Ditching Cookie-Cutter Business Advice

    Most business advice isn’t wrong — it’s just incomplete. What worked for someone else in their season, with their energy, resources, and life constraints, isn’t meant to be universally applied. When we forget that, we start assuming success is universal and failure is personal. In this episode, we’re breaking down why cookie-cutter strategies leave so many capable business owners feeling behind, burned out, or misaligned — and how to start building a success equation that actually fits your life. This is a grounded conversation about alignment, discernment, and leading your business in a way that honors who you are now. You’ll Discover Why following someone else’s roadmap often creates pressure, burnout, and self-doubt instead of clarityThe four components of your unique success equation — capacity, values, strengths, and constraints — and why they matterHow to filter business advice with CEO-level discernment so you build sustainably instead of forcing what doesn’t fitTimestamps: 01:13 The Pitfalls of Cookie-Cutter Business Advice 07:59 Understanding Your Unique Success Equation 10:27 Aligning Business with Personal Values and Strengths 12:37 The Importance of Customizing Your Business Strategy 15:15 Building a Business That Fits You Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    158 | Embracing Calm: The Competitive Advantage in Leadership

    We’ve been taught that speed equals success, urgency equals importance, and calm is something you earn later—after the business stabilizes or the pressure lets up. But for many leaders, that belief is exactly what’s keeping them stuck in burnout, reactivity, and constant overwhelm. In this episode, we’re unpacking why calm isn’t passive, lazy, or unambitious, but a critical leadership skill. You’ll hear why regulated, centered CEOs consistently make better decisions, build stronger businesses, and create healthier relationships—because calm creates clarity, and clarity is where real leadership lives. You’ll Discover Why urgency-driven leadership leads to poor decisions, burnout, and avoidable conflictHow nervous system regulation directly impacts your ability to lead, communicate, and make clean decisions Why calm isn’t the reward for success but the foundation for sustainable growth and strong boundaries Timestamps: 01:03 The Myth of Constant Availability 02:41 The Power of Calm in Leadership 05:17 Regulation as a Leadership Skill 09:24 Personal Experiences and Lessons Learned 12:49 The Importance of Boundaries and Consistency 18:43 Cultivating Calm for Sustainable Success Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?
