    Get Clear on Your Vision Ft. Paige Collins #110

    People who describe their homes as cluttered have up to 40% higher cortisol levels than those who describe their homes as organized. 82% of people say clutter negatively impacts their mental health and ability to relax at home. Today on the podcast we're joined by a small-business owner and community champion, Paige Collins, the founder and heart behind All Spruced Up Cleaning Co. Based in Youngstown, Ohio, Paige built her company after the pandemic with one clear mission: to give families back their time, help reduce stress, and create healthier, happier homes through trusted, eco-friendly cleaning services that truly care. As a busy mom of three, she knows firsthand the value of peace of mind—and she's turned that understanding into a business that not only delivers spotless spaces but also gives back to her community in big ways.  From hassle-free scheduling to free cleanings for local cancer patients and ongoing support for nonprofit causes, Paige leads with integrity, intention, and heart. Today we dig into her story, her mindset as a woman in business, and the impact of serving both clients and community with purpose.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Clutter significantly impacts health: People with cluttered homes experience up to 40% higher cortisol levels compared to those with organized spaces, and 82% report that clutter negatively affects their mental health and ability to relax.

    Body Guard For Your Mind Ft. Cara McCarron #107

    For some people, freedom looks like: Control over their time instead of their calendar controlling them. The ability to work from anywhere without sacrificing income or impact. Making decisions based on values, not fear or survival. Saying yes because you want to, not because you have to. Today's guest is someone who truly embodies freedom, creativity, and intentional living. Cara McCarron works remotely in the medical tourism space, which means her office can be anywhere there's Wi-Fi and sunshine. While most people are bundling up for winter, Cara is asking a better question: why not build a life that lets work travel with you? She's also a seasoned digital marketer with years of experience creating clean, StoryBrand-style mini sites and landing pages for businesses across just about every industry you can imagine. Simple, strategic, and built to convert. Today we'll be talking about what it means to restart in life and how to do it.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Freedom is about control and choice – True freedom means having control over your time, making decisions based on your values rather than fear, and saying yes because you want to rather than because you have to. Location independence is achievable – Working remotely allows you to design a life where your office can be anywhere, eliminating the constraint of geography on your career and income. Question default assumptions – Instead of accepting seasonal discomfort or traditional work structures, ask better questions like "why not build a life that lets work travel with you? Strategic simplicity drives results – Clean, StoryBrand-style websites and landing pages that are simple and strategic can be more effective than complex designs, focusing on conversion over complexity. Restarting is possible at any stage – You can intentionally redesign your life and career to align with what matters most to you, embodying freedom, creativity, and intentional living rather than staying stuck in circumstances that no longer serve you.   ⭐️CONNECT WITH CARA ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️ ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @thewifeyvibe   ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Cara McCarron   ▶︎ EMAIL: cara@shestheowner.com      CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

    Be a Bodyguard for Your Mind Ft. Amber Edmonds #105

    There comes a moment in everyone's life where quitting feels easier than continuing. When the results aren't showing. When the doubt gets loud. When the pressure feels heavy. But the people who change their lives aren't the most talented, they're the ones who refuse to give up. Joining us on this episode is Amber Edmonds who is not only a mom but an intreprenuer. Today we're going to be talking about staying in the fight when it would be easier to walk away, trusting the process when you can't see the outcome yet, and remembering why you started in the first place.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Success isn't about talent—it's about persistence. The people who transform their lives aren't necessarily the most gifted; they're the ones who refuse to quit when things get hard. Everyone faces moments where quitting feels easier than continuing. When results aren't visible, doubt creeps in, or pressure mounts, the temptation to walk away is universal. Staying in the fight requires intentional commitment. Even when walking away seems like the simpler option, choosing to keep going is what separates those who achieve their goals from those who don't. Trust the process even when you can't see the outcome. Progress isn't always immediately visible, but continuing forward despite uncertainty is essential to eventual success. Remembering your "why" is crucial for perseverance. Reconnecting with your original motivation and purpose helps you push through difficult moments when results feel distant.   ⭐️CONNECT WITH AMBER ON SOCIAL MEDIA ⭐️   ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: @amberedmondsrms   ▶︎ LINKEDIN: Amber Edmonds   ▶︎ EMAIL: AmberEdmondsRMS@gmail.com      CONNECT WITH CELINA ON SOCIAL MEDIA  ▶︎ INSTAGRAM: Celina.Eklund ▶︎ FACEBOOK: Celina Eklund ▶︎ YOUTUBE: CelinaEklund   NEW: Join us at https://www.celinaeklund.com/ for premium content - Enjoy!

    Fear of Doubt Will Paralyze You Ft. Kendrick Kravitz & Kasey Lester #104

    Why is a running mate so important? They see what you can't. Everyone has blind spots. A true running mate lovingly calls you higher, tells you the truth, and helps course-correct before small missteps become major detours. They keep you accountable when motivation fades. Everyone has seasons of doubt, fatigue, or distraction. A running mate doesn't let you quit on days you'd rather slow down or stop. They remind you of your standards when emotions try to lower them. Today on the podcast, I'm excited to welcome Kendrick Kravitz and Kasey Lester. They are a duo in the construction and remodeling space. As general contractors, they specialize in large-scale, high-end renovations and new construction, transforming both interiors and exteriors into true works of art. From luxury remodels and custom builds to additions, pools, landscaping, and hardscapes, their work is all about precision, vision, and execution at the highest level.     KEY TAKEAWAYS: Blind spots require outside perspective - Everyone has limitations in their self-awareness, and a running mate provides the honest feedback needed to identify and correct issues before they become significant problems. Accountability sustains momentum - During inevitable periods of doubt, fatigue, or distraction, a running mate prevents you from quitting or slowing down when you're most tempted to give up on your goals. Emotional regulation through partnership - When emotions threaten to compromise your standards, a running mate serves as an anchor, reminding you of your commitments and helping you maintain consistency. Specialization in high-end construction - Kendrick and Kasey focus exclusively on large-scale luxury renovations and custom new construction, bringing expertise to premium residential projects.
