    171 | You Don’t Have a Time Problem—You Have a Starting Problem

    In this episode of  That Big CEO Energy, I’m asking you to get honest about what you’re avoiding and why. I break down why it’s usually not a time problem—it’s a starting problem—because we tie starting to finishing and treat everything like it requires 100% of our energy.  Here’s what you’ll learn:  - How attaching “starting” to “finishing” keeps you stuck (and how to break that pattern)  - How to lower the entry point to create momentum without needing perfect conditions  - How small starts reshape your identity into someone who moves and follows through Timestamps: 01:03 The Avoidance Question 01:40 Time Problem Myth 02:12 Completion Trap 04:05 Self Leadership Shift 04:57 Lower The Entry Point 05:47 Momentum After Starting 06:51 Identity And Decisions 08:26 Spokes And Center Framework 11:09 One Thing Action Plan Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    170 | You’re Not Reactive—You’re Unpracticed at Pausing

    In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share why I don’t believe you’re “reactive” as a personality trait—you’re unpracticed at pausing. I break down how our brains chase familiarity, fill in gaps with assumptions, and move too fast from feeling to acting, then I share how therapy and my relationship with my daughter taught me to build capacity by creating space before responding so I can choose what happens next.  You’ll learn:  - Why reaction is a rehearsed pattern (not your identity) and how your brain defaults to what feels familiar  - What the pause actually looks like in real life (texts, emails, heated conversations) without needing to be perfectly calm  - How creating a small gap between trigger and action helps you lead yourself with clarity instead of spiraling Timestamps: 01:03 Why We React 02:41 Reaction Isn’t Identity 03:58 Your Brain Seeks Familiar 06:34 Therapy and Motherhood Loop 09:42 Building the Pause Skill 12:53 Practical Pause Examples 15:42 Pause as Leadership 18:11 Real Life Scripts Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    169 | Stop Shrinking: Take Up Space and Lead Unapologetically

    In this final Monday Moment episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share a real-talk pep talk about why I’m done with shrinking to make other people comfortable. I break down what “shrinking” can look like in real life—downplaying what I’m doing, lowering my prices, softening my voice, or making myself smaller so I don’t intimidate anyone—and why that only leads to resentment, burnout, and a business that doesn’t reflect who I am.  This week (and beyond), I challenge you to stop apologizing, post the win, charge the price, speak the truth, and take up the space you were meant to take.

    168 | You’re Not Behind: Stop Comparing Your Timeline

    In this Monday Moment episode of That Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk for anyone starting the week feeling behind. I talk about how comparing my behind-the-scenes to someone else’s Instagram highlight reel makes it easy to believe I’m failing, even though I’m not seeing the years of building, failed launches, pivots, mistakes, and almost-give-up moments that came before their breakthrough. This week, I challenge you to stop comparing your timeline, unfollow accounts that make you feel behind, stay in your own lane, and ask, “What am I building right now that’s going to matter later?” Timestamps: 01:23 Comparison Trap 02:26 No Timeline Truth 02:48 Pause and Notice 03:43 My Timeline Lesson 04:44 This Week Action Steps 05:11 Right on Time Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    167 | Stop Proving Myself: The Power of Not Overexplaining

    Ever feel like “big CEO energy” means constantly proving you’re credible? In this episode of That Big CEO Energy, I’m breaking down the mindset shift that changed everything for me: real authority isn’t something I perform—it’s something I decide. I talk about what proving looks like (over-explaining, nonstop content, stacking credentials), why it’s exhausting, and how it can actually signal insecurity and invite people to question my leadership. I share why my job isn’t to make everyone understand or get buy-in—it’s to make clear decisions and stand in them—and how fear of being misunderstood keeps me stuck in justification.  I walk through how I’m practicing not explaining: noticing the habit, using one-sentence boundaries, sitting with discomfort, and trusting that my clarity is enough.  Timestamps:  00:00 Proving vs Deciding  02:05 What “Proving” Looks Like  03:55 Why Proving Kills Authority  05:10 Leadership Without Buy-In  06:40 Fear, Misunderstanding, and Overexplaining  08:10 One-Sentence Boundaries  09:25 Sit With the Discomfort  10:20 The Power of the Period Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    166 | Decide to Thrive: Why Your Goals Need You, Not Your Feelings

    In this Monday Moment episode of Big CEO Energy, I share a quick pep talk about why your goals don’t care about your feelings, and how letting motivation, confidence, or fear dictate your actions keeps you stuck.  This week, I challenge you to do one thing you’ve been avoiding—send the email, show up on stories, make the sales call, publish the post—even if you don’t feel like it.  Timestamps:  01:28 Goals Over Feelings 02:59 Consistency Beats Mood 03:20 My Messy Middle Proof 04:50 Feelings Aren't In Charge 05:53 This Week's Challenge Support the show  Want to Be a Guest?

    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.
