17 Jan 2023EP01: Why Entrepreneurship is BROKEN00:21:01

In this premiere episode, Sarah talks about why entrepreneurship feels overwhelming and frenetic -- in short, why it feels broken. It's a State of the Union of Entrepreneurship, uncomfortable but necessary.

It all started because of a contractor role asking for the moon and stars -- for a price you wouldn't believe. Give it a listen and then be sure to weigh in on the conversation. Follow Sarah over on Instagram and share your thoughts. Head to instagram.com/corporate.rehab

17 Jan 2023EP02: Pricing BS and the Trouble with High Ticket Offers00:28:25

How would you like to make a million dollars?

In this episode, Sarah breaks down what it would take to actually justify a high priced offer based on the advice of some pretty well known coaches. Leaning on her experience as both an operator and a former bespoke event professional, Sarah dishes on what conversations about high ticket offers leave out, and what you should really be taking in to account when setting your prices -- and there isn't a single "charge your worth" to be found.

24 Jan 2023EP03: Hiring Won't Solve Your Overwhelm -- But THIS Might00:21:36

You hear it a lot -- feeling overwhelmed? Hire! Outsource!

Not in an of itself a bad idea -- but not always the best FIRST idea.

On this week's episode, Sarah talks about the 2 main causes of overwhelm and the 3 things you should be focusing on to help kick it to the curb (do people still say that?). The 3 C's of Success, as she calls them, are a big piece of the foundation of every good, sustainable business, and they should be revisited frequently.

She also offers a reframe on how to set Good, Better, Best goals, how genuine connection can help curb overwhelm, and what consistency actually means when it comes to content creation.

It's a mixed bag today! But all goody bags are.

This week Sarah gets a little personal -- what made her finally leave her job and take on the mantle of reluctant entrepreneur? 20 years of nonsense coming to a head after an accident with a toddler's jagged nail left her with a corneal abrasion.

Trust us, it'll make sense once you hear the story.

She also shares the top 3 beliefs she had to work on overcoming in order to fully thrive in her business -- beliefs that were the result of being a high-achieving, ambitious employee for over 2 decades.

14 Feb 2023EP06: No, You DON'T Always Need a Coach00:17:33

This one may ruffle a few feathers but that's sometimes a good thing.

No, this isn't throwing shade at coaches (I mean, Sarah's a coach, right?) Instead, Sarah invites you to consider something that in the online business space is considered downright sacrilegious -- going coach-free for a period of time.

Why on EARTH would she recommend NOT having a coach? Tune in and find out.

Dr. Lee Cordell, CEO and Founder of the Institute for Trauma and Psychological Safety, joins Sarah this week to talk about what trauma is, what it isn't, and how it can show up in business.

With the topic of trauma on the rise in the online business space, with terms like "trauma-informed", "trauma-aware", and "trauma-sensitive" being thrown around in marketing at a growing rate, Sarah and Dr. Lee clarify the line between where it's legit, and where it's bullshit.

28 Feb 2023EP08: Trust Me, It's Not Always a Mindset Issue00:23:58

Mindset is a squidzillion dollar industry -- and it's easy pickings for people who want a quick-start business idea. Because it's also a ridiculously unregulated industry. And there are a lot of mindset coaches doing more harm than good.

This is NOT an indictment of the industry. Mindset is REAL... AND, there are times when mindset is NOT the issue.

In this week's episode, Sarah shares her thoughts on exactly that -- how do you know when it's a mindset issue and when it's not, and what are some of the BS tactics that some of the less enlightened mindset coaches use to get you into their ecosystem?

21 Mar 2023EP11: 6 Red Flag Business Practices that Gotta Go00:23:52

Summary:

You know the kind of business practices that make you go “Hmmm…?” yet everyone’s doing them, so you convince yourself it’s ok? In the online business space, unethical behavior can get normalized quickly because so many of us are just trying to figure it out as we go. There isn’t a lot of oversight or accountability. But we have a responsibility to call out craptastic behaviors and change them. That’s why Sarah asked people inside the Business Blasphemy Facebook group to share red flag business practices they constantly come across and y'all did not disappoint. In this episode, we’re diving into six of the most tired-a$$ red flag business practices that need to be retired - from overselling the value of offers to adding people to email lists without consent to the lack of transparency around how much it costs to work with you, and more – so we can all do and feel better about the way we’re doing business. 

Bullet Points:

  • Why we should run when someone says they want to hire a “unicorn”.
  • The toxic business rhetoric that Sarah had to let go of.
  • How we can be in integrity when sharing the value/price of our offers. 
  • What’s mandatory when it comes to paying your teams.
  • Why consent is non-negotiable, not to mention legal.

Quote

“Because I think at some point in our business, we've done some of, if not all of these, because we just didn't know better. But that's why we're here. We are here to learn a different way of doing things.”

28 Mar 2023EP12: What I Learned From Doing 47 Consult Calls in 3 Months00:21:12

Summary:

In December, I committed to offering 47 free business consult calls to my community and oof, did I learn a LOT. In this episode, I’m sharing the three common business challenges that kept popping up and how I coached these amazing women to define their own success, be more intentional when it came to their content, and how to honor their capacity.

Bullet Points:

  • Why how long you’ve been in business isn’t relative to how successful your business is.
  • What it takes to create content that sounds more like you.
  • How to know where to put your efforts.

Quote

“You need to understand who you are, what you offer, how it helps people get from where they are now to where they want to be and how you do it that is different from everyone else. That is the key, and that's the hardest part for a lot of us to define.”

“You have to determine what your definition of success is for you, not compared to anyone else.”

04 Apr 2023EP13: Busting Business Myths with Teresa Cleveland00:52:45

Summary:

There's a lot of business advice out there, particularly when we first start a business, that simply isn't true. My guest, Business Growth Strategist & Mentor and fellow BS-buster, Teresa Cleveland is joining me to unpack popular business “truths” that aren’t always effective. We talk about why it’s important to trust ourselves and not this week's guru, how we can resist the pressure to conform, and what that looks like for our businesses. Because the truth is, any business strategy can work, but only when it aligns with your mission, vision, and values.

Bullet Points:

  • Why people get defensive when you question their methods.
  • Why we need to normalize exploring and learning from our mistakes.
  • Questions to ask yourself before you invest in a program.
  • Why it’s okay to walk away from programs that don’t work.
  • The importance of reconnecting with why you’re doing what you’re doing.

Quote

“So, bring your own special sauce to the table…that's the thing that is going to differentiate us from one another and the way that we deliver things.”  Teresa Cleveland

16 May 2023EP19: Surviving Summer Break as a Mom & Entrepreneur00:11:52

Summer is coming. (Shout out to GoT fans everywhere!)

Summer is on its way and that means the kids will be home for the next few months. That can absolutely throw a wrench into any business-related plans you may or may not have had.

Not to mention all the rhetoric you're about to hear about the sales cycle, powering through, not losing momentum, and more.

So -- how do you get through the summer as a parent and entrepreneur without going off the rails? Do you double down and do all the things? Do you throw caution to the wind and put your feet up?

Honestly? It depends. And I have a few reminders to help you decide.

06 Jun 2023EP22: You are NOT Your Business: Conversations About Capacity with Amber Dancy00:34:57

This week, Sarah welcomes Amber Dancy to discuss how business owners can increase their capacity without defaulting to common strategies like scaling their business or adding more time to their day -- the more common advice entrepreneurs are given when they start feeling overwhelm.

They explore the importance of separating personal capacity from business capacity and how having a solid operational foundation is crucial for the success of a business.

They also talk about the very common mistake of conflating being the face of the business with being the business itself, and solutions to overcome it.


Amber's Bio:
Amber Dancy is an Intuitive Business Coach who believes that sometimes rebelling is the most practical thing you can do for your life and your business. She works with leaders who desire to do things differently. Together you'll recalibrate your definition of success to create a business that aligns systems with humans.

13 Jun 2023EP23: The FEAR of Being Visible00:24:25

This week I talk about the fear of being visible in the online business space and the struggles for business owners who think and act differently from mainstream beliefs. From gatekeeping to censorship, the struggle is REAL, and that's why being crystal clear about your beliefs and values goes a long way to helping you overcome the fear of visibility. 

I also get a little vulnerable this week, and share my personal experiences with growth, cultural norms, and societal expectations. And...I share my Truth (with a capital T). The Truth that keeps me going and fuels the work I do (grab a tissue).

For all the sass and tongue-in-cheek humour I bring to the podcast, the bottom line is that through my work, I aim to inspire others to embrace their whole selves and create a legacy that leaves a lasting impact underscored by the importance of speaking your truth and embracing personal evolution.

04 Jul 2023EP26: Debunking the Myth of 6-Figure Success: the Myths & Realities of Biz Expansion00:23:19

This week, we're taking a deep dive into the reality of six-figure success in the online business world. We're calling out those misleading tactics and unsustainable practices some businesses use to inflate their image of success. We're focusing on the importance of putting sustainability and ethical business practices before profit, debunking the fantasy of easy big money, and stressing the need for businesses to deliver real value with solid systems ready for growth.

I'm also revealing my Entrepreneur Growth Hierarchy tool, a practical aid to help business owners evaluate their standing and ensure they're meeting the basic conditions for steady growth. Let's stop rushing through essential steps and falling for empty promises that only lead to relentless hustle.

You also get to hear about something very rarely talked about: the hidden costs and operational considerations that are often ignored when discussing earnings claims. Building a successful business takes time and requires constant refinement and adjustment before considering scaling (which, contrary to popular belief, is about increasing capacity for growth, not just making more money without doing more work.) 

Tune in to this eye-opening episode to challenge the myths and uncover the truths of 6 figure success in the business world.

11 Jul 2023EP27: Sustainable Scaling Made Simple: The Entrepreneur Growth Hierarchy Unwrapped00:25:05

It's time to crack the code of business growth.

AKA Scaling. Yup, that's right - I'm lifting the veil on my "Entrepreneur Growth Hierarchy" -- your new best friend, guiding you through the wild ride of sustainable business growth. This idea was inspired by Maslow's Hierarchy, behavioural sciences, and good ol' business basics.

Just like science says we humans need our basic needs taken care of before we can reach for loftier goals, my Growth Hierarchy outlines how your business needs the same. 

The golden nugget from this episode? Whatever you do, don't skip steps! You might be thinking, "Can't I take a shortcut?" No. Trust me, if you try to sprint to the finish line without checking off those crucial business fundamentals, your growth is gonna stumble and fall.

This episode is a challenge - a friendly nudge to look at growth from a whole new perspective.

18 Jul 2023EP28: Emotional Labor: The Hidden Struggle of Entrepreneurs w/ Shulamit Ber Levtov00:51:13

Mental health is a struggle for a lot of people, and entrepreneurs are no exception. This week I explore the less-talked-about side of entrepreneurship, with Shulamit Ber Levtov, the Entrepreneurs' Therapist, and the unique mental health challenges faced by entrepreneurs.

We talk about everything from the realities of isolation and how relentless hustle culture impacts us, to the tie between self-worth and business success. From why entrepreneurs hesitate to seek mental health support to the ripple effect of current events on our mental well-being.

Shula shares insights into the ways entrepreneurs, especially those unable to afford therapy, can manage their mental health, including the stigma and fear that sometimes keep us from seeking help at all.

She also shares her personal journey, emphasizing the need for mental health support specifically designed for business owners, because the emotional labor of running a business often requires external assistance.

Guest Bio:
Shulamit is the Entrepreneurs' Therapist and co-founder of the Business Therapy Centre. She works with women business owners to care for their mental and emotional wellbeing in an era of relentless stressors that can make you lose your shit on the daily.

An entrepreneur for over 27 years with more than 22 years of professional experience applying therapeutic, coaching and somatic tools to support women's mental health and personal growth. In addition to working with clients 1:1, Shulamit teaches in private and university business programs and speaks locally, nationally and internationally about the intersection of mental health, trauma, financial psychology and entrepreneurship.

As an award-winning entrepreneur, masters-level, licensed trauma therapist and trauma survivor, with certifications in Brené Brown's Dare To Lead methodology, Trauma of Money facilitation, Nonviolent Communication and Yoga, Shula brings a unique perspective and approach to supporting women in business.

25 Jul 2023EP29: Busting Out of a Rut: Kick Default-Mode to the Curb00:22:41

Do you ever find yourself in "default mode"?

Let me backtrack...It's no secret that corporate programming runs deep.

I admit, with zero shame, that sometimes when things get tough I default to working harder because it's something I can control -- and I know I'm not alone.

This week, I share a technique that I have used to help me shift my perspective when I feel myself diving deeper and deeper into work as a way to distract myself from other things -- only to find when I no longer need to distract myself, I'm entrenched in the bad habit of equating productivity with worthiness.

Here is my 5-step audit, a process I go through regularly but especially when I need to recalibrate, when things feel overwhelming, or when I feel stuck.

Step 1: Make a gratitude and celebration list
Step 2: Give yourself some loving truth bombs
Step 3: Check your goals
Step 4: Re-evaluate your habits
Step 5: Make a ditch list

01 Aug 2023EP30: Rethink, Redefine, Rest: Lessons from the Air Travel Shit Show00:19:16

We've all been privy to the lessons of air travel shit shows.

And truth be told, there's a lot we can learn from the madness of air travel.

Picture me stuck on hold for 36 hours, trying to retrieve money from a canceled flight. Or dealing with a cancelled flight and losing a day of our vacation. Or dealing with a cancellation on the way back and a rerouting.

It was an eye-opening experience on how things beyond our control can wreak havoc in our plans. Sounds a lot like entrepreneurship, doesn't it? As we navigate this stormy landscape, let's keep in mind that we can't control everything, but our responses are totally up to us.

The pandemic has changed the rules of the business game, and it's not unusual to feel the heat and pressure building. But let's make one thing clear - resorting to manipulative tactics or pushing people into purchases they can't afford is not the answer. Instead, let's focus on what we can control - our responses, how we show up, how we price our offers, and how we share our content. I'll be talking about the importance of rest and slowing down to identify what we can let go of in our lives and businesses. Rethink, redefine and make your business not only rewarding but impactful. 

Remember, we're in this together.

To scale or not to scale? Not gonna lie -- too many people confuse scaling with growth and vice versa.

Brace yourselves as we break down the reality that only a minority -- a mere 22% of small businesses launched in the past decade -- have succeeded in doing: scaling.

In this week's episode we take a look at how scaling a business differs from growing a business and what it actually requires planning for as a CEO/Founder.

Then, we flip the script...

As a solopreneur, have you pondered the perks of running a sustainable business as opposed to scaling up? We give solopreneurs a little love by sharing the things that make being a solo entrepreneur the absolute bees knees.

Regardless of what path you decide is for you, this episode gives you a dose of loving reality about the ins and outs of business, both big and small.

As the scent of fresh notebooks fills the fall air and September excitement takes hold, something else takes hold, too.

The Fourth Quarter Push.

You know what I'm talking about. The online business world equivalent of "if your workout doesn't make you want to puke, you aren't doing it right."

05 Sep 2023EP35: Coaching and Ethics: A Candid Exchange with Marianne Smith (Daugherty)00:53:28

Do you ever wonder why it's so hard for high achievers to shift their mindset? And why traditional mindset coaching methods aren't always the best approach to growth?

In this very candid episode, I talk to Marianne Smith (Daugherty), a psychotherapist and trauma trained therapist all about nervous system regulation and how dysregulation impacts high achieving entrepreneurs, CEOs, and founders.

Drawing from her 15+ years of experience, Marianne enlightens us about some incredible techniques to manage the pressures of success. We discuss polyvagal theory, exploring how different approaches can help high achievers thrive in their chosen fields.

We learn how to recognize states of dysregulation and why self-compassion is the cornerstone of maintaining balance. 

This leads to a very eye-opening exchange about the coaching industry, providing guidance on how to separate credible coaches from those who might not have your best interests at heart.

We close out the episode by addressing the elephant in the room - the glaring lack of checks and balances in the coaching industry. We share personal experiences and discuss the alarmingly easy route to becoming an unqualified coach. We break down the need for ethical standards of care in the coaching industry and the importance of research and scrutiny when choosing a coach, providing insights to help you ensure you're working with the very best. Tune in for an engaging conversation that promises to challenge the status quo.

Marianne Smith (Daugherty) is a psychotherapist, practitioner, and guide to high-achieving visionaries who are ready to ditch the chaos and lead from their inner zen master. She works privately and intimately with clients using cutting edge nervous system rewiring techniques, taking them on a multi-dimensional journey to uncover their next level calm. This process takes time, trust, and tools, but as a result, leaders can become infinitely resilient in the face of inevitable stress. If you’re ready to rewire your nervous system and carve new neural pathways for greater presence, creativity, and joy-in both your personal life and in your business.

Have you ever had a business contract abruptly terminated by a client without any warning? I've been there, and it's a gut-wrenching experience that leaves you pissed off, inconvenienced, and questioning yourself. 

So, I decided to reach out to others in the business world to hear their tales of "Clients Behaving Badly." The response was astounding, with stories that opened up a Pandora's box of similar instances, which led to much-needed conversations about accountability and the human element in business transactions.

This episode looks at some of the murky, uncomfortable, but very real client behaviours that leave a shitty taste in your mouth, and are lessons learned about red flags to watch for in future client relationships.

19 Sep 2023EP37: Instant Gratification vs the Power of Active Patience00:12:45

Have you ever wondered how our digital age's obsession with instant gratification is impacting our businesses, our goals, and our patience? 

This week I take a quick look at the change technology has wrought and how it's influencing our expectations in life and in biz. I share my philosophy on the concept of "active patience," a practice that combines consistent efforts towards our goals while understanding that real success takes time.

I then share my absolute favourite metaphor -- the story of the Chinese Bamboo Tree. Through it we learn that patience, when combined with consistent efforts, can reap enormous rewards. Tune in to this episode for a nuanced take on the importance of patience in our businesses and our lives. You will leave with a renewed understanding of the role patience plays in our success and how to incorporate 'active patience' into your work ethic.

26 Sep 2023EP38: Connection Made Easy: The Shift from Transactions to Trust00:25:05

Have you ever found yourself in a busy networking event, feeling drained and disconnected as you attempt to navigate the sea of pitches and self-promotion?

That's where I found myself recently, moderating a panel for a local Women's Enterprise Centre event. As an introvert, I was anticipating the usual energy suck. But instead, I found myself energized, and it set off a light bulb moment. Networking (aka connection) events aren't the problem: WE are.

We've all been there - the dreaded 'pitchslap', where, without even a ‘how do you do’, someone is smacking you in the virtual face with their latest offer. (It's no wonder so many people are in their feelings about sales and lead generation.)

Connection in business has traditionally been more about transactions than genuine human connection, and it's taking a toll. Instead of feeling compelled to sell or to be sold to, I wanna share a different approach: create authentic connections, cultivate trust, and personalize your interactions. Sales are important, of course, but they shouldn't overshadow making real connections because you took time to see the human behind the dollar signs. 

In the cut-throat world of business, maintaining honesty and transparency may seem like a tall order. But instead of the usual BS, it's time we focus on building enduring  relationships. After all, it's through these genuine connections that we lay the foundations of lasting success.

03 Oct 2023EP39: Corporate Burnout to Business Maverick: Rewriting the Rules for Women Entrepreneurs00:21:02

Ever thought about how the relentless pursuit of profits often devalues people in the business world? I've been there, and I'm here to share my journey. From being a shining star in the corporate arena to feeling tossed aside as a new mother, I've seen the dark underbelly of business ethics gone wrong. 

This week, I recount one of my many experiences, and how it (in part) inspired me to break free and create my own business... but what ended up happening was something else.

As an entrepreneur, I've witnessed the struggle many women face in the online business sphere. Still jacked up by corporate programming, we equate value with productivity and hours spent, and success through the lens of financial gain. But what if we redefined these outdated beliefs? Let's unpack the concept of Corporate Rehab as a tool to help women build successful businesses that honour their autonomy and individuality -- and aren't just clones of their corporate experience, only this time, with them at the helm.

I want to challenge the traditional business paradigm because so many of us are feeling trapped and tired of the hustle. Let's explore ways to create a business environment that celebrates authenticity and freedom, and not just superficial standards, while still honouring the importance of building sustainable business models. I'm on a mission to disrupt the norms and create a business landscape that changes the way it's been done. Join me and let's redefine what business success looks like, together.

Prepare for a rude awakening as we call BS on the myth of passive income. Spoiler alert: it's not passive at all, or all that lucrative for the majority.

It’s a seductive idea, making money while you sleep, but passive income is in a lot of ways touted as a get-rich-quick type of tactic. 

This week, we unpack the challenges and realities associated with passive income including some stats (I did the research, y'all) that demonstrate how lucrative it actually is.

I carry on from last week and offer an intimate insight into my practice of year-end reflection. I reveal my 10 thought-provoking questions for self-reflection and discuss how it fuels my intentional planning. This year, I've chosen to fully embrace the holiday spirit by pausing all client work in December, gifting myself some time for rest and rejuvenation.

In preparation for planning in the new year, these questions -- I feel -- should be part of your reflective process as you introspect on the year gone by and think about what has to change for the upcoming one. These questions will guide you to spot areas of resistance and define what you're prepared to welcome or bid farewell to in 2024. 

As I share the questions, I give context and elaborate as best I can, so here are the questions in their entirety in case you are listening without a notebook in the moment!

1. What are 3 things I'm proud of having accomplished this year?
2. What have I learned that I can continue to work on next year?
3. What am I willing to fight for / stop fighting against? (or Where have I been throwing up resistance in my life or business?)
4. What am I willing to show up for in 2024 / leave behind in 2023?
5. Who am I going to be? What am I going to do?
6. How do I want to live each day going forward?
7. What is it important for me to do with my time each day / week?
8. Who deserves space in my life? Who doesn't?
9. Whose opinion of it all do I care about?
10. What characteristics of the next version of myself do I want to cultivate next year?

Online business has evolved enormously since 2020.

This week, I'm joined by 4 audacious and incredibly powerful and insightful business owners: Jennifer Battle, Rachel Aiken, Elaine Jardon, and Erika Tebbens.

Tune in as they share their journey and the evolution of online entrepreneurship over the last few years. We unmask the aftermath of the pandemic and its effect on business strategies and buyer habits. We explore currency in the digital marketplace and the key to making sales. We pay homage to our collective growth, the trials and triumphs of doing business differently and the innovations birthed from necessity.

We also talk about the changing definitions of business success. This isn’t just about revenue – it’s about personal growth, mentorships, and crafting a business model that is as structured as it is flexible, exploring the duality of working to live and living to work, and sometimes how the means to an end could be the end itself.

We touch on a variety of topics within the online space: marketing, email and copy, courses and IP, strategy, education and coaching, capacity, and the over-simplification of teaching.

With 2024 on the horizon, we leave no stone unturned, discussing our predictions for the business landscape and how it's changing (or needs to change), the need for a customer-centric approach and the balance between sharing your intimate journey while achieving larger-than-life results. Whether you're an experienced entrepreneur or a newcomer to the business world, this conversation is a necessity.

I'm sharing 3 tough love truths that we all need to embrace if we're going to make any progress in our business growth in 2024. Bold claim? Probably. But also probably not.

Join me as I explain why the key to a flourishing business isn't speed but steady growth over time. Plus, I'll debunk the idea that every low-ticket customer is a stepping stone to high-ticket sales, providing a fresh perspective on how to genuinely cater to different client needs.

And I'll wrap up by talking about the 'passion-turned-profit' narrative and why it doesn't have to be your story. It's not just about yielding to the pressure of monetizing every skill; it's about aligning your business ventures with what resonates deep within your core values.

06 Feb 2024EP53: Beyond Balance: Rethinking Work + Life in an Unbalanced World00:21:25

When life finally threw me the Covid curveball, the forced time off had me questioning the very notion of work-life balance. 

Here's the truth about our pursuit of balance: you'll never reach it because it doesn't exist. 

In this from-the-heart episode, I take a look at the cost of juggling all the balls: health, family duties, and professional ambitions, and reveal how the quest for balance actually comes down to making space for life's chaos.

This episode isn't just about weathering storms; it's a call for redefining self-worth in a society that measures us by our output. I challenge you to reassess your daily grind, asking if each task truly serves your goals and your joy. 

Because it's not about work-life balance at all. It's about something much sweeter. Tune in to find out what.

20 Feb 2024EP55: The Controversy of Commitment: Why "All In" is a Huge Red Flag00:36:42

How much do you really have to give (or give up) to be considered "all in" when it comes to your job or your business?

This week, I recount a deeply personal journey, pulling back the curtain on the emotional rollercoaster of what seems like an increasingly convoluted job application process. I share the excitement of connecting with what seemed like the perfect team, where my expertise was truly valued, to the sting of having a promising job offer taken away because of the question of commitment.

But this conversation goes beyond the nuts and bolts of job hunting. It's an exploration of the controversial demands for "all-in" dedication. I talk about how this expectation can be both a badge of honor and a source of shame, challenging the established norms of what employers expect. It's time to bring to argue for a healthier balance, one that values personal growth just as much as professional achievement, without leading to burnout. 

Through my experiences, I offer insights and critical perspectives that question the business world's definition of commitment. It's all about the struggles of seeking employment while running a business, and the important lessons on setting boundaries in the pursuit of a career that's truly fulfilling.

27 Feb 2024EP56: Unfiltered Reflection: Is it Time to Shift Focus?00:16:57

Am I the asshole?

This week I share the outcome of so many conversations about how exhausted people are by the online business space -- a pondering that maybe it's time to shift our focus.

The unethical tactics and shitty behaviours many business owners buy into isn't going to change any time soon (because these behaviours are entrenched in the very space they thrive in).

So maybe it's time to address the actual problem: YOU.

Join me for a quick insight into what I think we get to start focusing on in 2024... and it's not bro marketing.

19 Mar 2024EP58: Trusting Your Gut: Intuition vs. Logic in Life's Pivotal Choices with Meaghan Pierce00:53:12

You've heard it before: Trust your gut.

But if it were that simple, we'd never question another decision we made, ever again.

How do you tell the difference between your intuition and fear?
Where is the line between logic and intuitive knowing?
What role do they play in decision-making?
How do you learn to listen to your gut when you've spent your whole life ignoring it for the voice in your head?

Meaghan Pierce, author and entrepreneur, joins us to talk about all things intuition and how she learned to trust her own when it came to making pretty big leaps in her life. Together, we dissect the role of intuition in life's "fork in the road" moments.

We touch on the shadow side of relentless self-improvement, where the pursuit of goals can morph into a cycle of never feeling quite "good enough", and we critically examine the line between life coaching and therapy, offering insights that challenge the status quo and encourage a deeper, more nuanced approach to personal growth.

And when it comes to decision-making, we uncover the crucial role of a supportive community and the power of discernment in choosing whom to confide in. Drawing from our collective experiences, we highlight the significance of having cheerleaders who bolster our intuition and support our dreams, even when faced with skepticism.

If you've ever wanted to learn more about what it actually looks like to trust your gut, you won't want to miss this honest reflection on trusting the compass of your inner voice and the courage to follow it with unwavering conviction.

Ever feel like the mantra "we all have the same 24 hours" doesn't quite fit your life?

This episode tears down that myth and reconstructs a more personal blueprint for success. As we continue dissecting the four Ps of consistent success, we zero in on the third P: power.

I'm here to unfold the layers of your potential, showing you how to prioritize tasks that genuinely push your business forward, and reveal the truth about personal capacity. From the energy you expend to the resources you wield, I'll steer you through making every business move count.

Harnessing power isn't just about sheer effort; it's about the finesse of managing your team, tapping into expert insights, and mastering the art of delegation.

16 Apr 2024EP62: Promise: Cultivating Unshakeable Commitment in Entrepreneurship00:13:59

Commitment is nothing more than a promise you make... in this case, to yourself.

This episode is all about the transformative power of self-promise—it's the self-made commitment that keeps your business vision alive and thriving.

Over the last 3 episodes, we talked about the combined strength of purpose, priorities and your 5 capacities (aka power) in relation to consistent success.

But none of them work if you don't commit. 

For an entrepreneur, promises are more than just words; they're the lifeblood of our commitment to success. It's the promise to stick with it, to follow through, and to get support when you need it. To promise yourself you don't HAVE to go it alone.

It's a short and sweet one this week, but it's the one that makes it all mean something.

If a transition from non-stop hustle to a life-serving business is what you're after, remember, my door is always open for those who want to weave these 4 Ps into the tapestry of their own business ethos.

04 Jun 2024EP69: Stop Failing Slowly: The Trouble With Waiting for the Right Moment00:20:14

Are you stalling your progress waiting for the perfect moment? 

In this raw and real episode, I reflect on perspective-shifting conversations with badass women I would never have met had I continued waiting for the right moment.

As the end of the school year sneaks up on us and we ease into a more laid-back vibe, I detail my own journey of stepping out of my comfort zone to join new networking groups. These moves led to meaningful collaborations and incredible connections.

I detail the concept of "failing slowly" — the trap of waiting for the perfect moment and how it can cripple your true potential. I'll share a moment recently in Las Vegas when the realization of how I've failed slowly for so long hit me in the gut and had me completely breaking down in a room of 100+ women.

As we pause to reflect and recharge over the next few months, let's commit to embracing the opportunities ahead. And stay tuned for more powerful guest episodes where I'll bring you stories from the remarkable women leaders I've connected with along the way.

Listen in as I share raw, unfiltered stories about being hired for my skills but repeatedly sidelined, a frustration that ultimately drove me to speak my truth.

Ever wonder why assertive women in leadership get labeled as aggressive?

Inspired by the fierce characters in "House of the Dragon," we dive into how women can wield their strength and assertiveness without unfair judgment.

Can you really justify charging $100,000 for a VIP day?
