25 Jan 2024 | Ep. 146 - Unveiling My 2024 Blueprint + Goals for Business and Life | 00:55:11 | |
In this inspiring episode, I warmly welcome listeners to the dawn of 2024, sharing my personal and professional goals for the year. The episode kicks off with my reflections on the much-needed break taken since December, emphasizing the importance of slowing down and aligning with the season's rhythm.
I delve into the unexpected 'Snowmageddon 2024' that blanketed Nashville, drawing parallels between this event and the quiet, introspective days of the pandemic. This natural pause allowed for family bonding and a reconnection with the essence of joy and simplicity in life. Exactly what the winter season is for!
Listeners will find this episode particularly engaging as I unveil my eight carefully thought-out goals for 2024 (with a few bonus business goals for the winter season!). These goals range from creating a serene and organized home environment, embracing a holistic health and wellness journey, and mindful financial planning, to nurturing creativity through reading and adventures, preserving family memories, leading my business with confidence and clarity, and fostering community through collaborations.
I share my reconnection with PowerSheets, a pivotal tool in my goal-setting journey, and how this tool, along with Asana, will guide me through the year. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone looking to start their year with intention, seeking inspiration for setting personal and professional goals, or anyone interested in learning how to balance the demands of life and work with grace and joy.

22 Jul 2021 | Episode 120 - Looking Back on the First Two Years of My Inner Circle Program | 00:41:01 | |
It's been two years since I started my signature membership program: The Blooming Business Inner Circle. In that time I've learned so much! In this episode, I'm sharing the microphone with our special guest and Inner Circle Client Concierge, Jordan Boss. We'll discuss the ins and outs of our all-inclusive business mastermind. We'll also share some insight if you've ever thought about creating your own membership or group program experience. To date, over 300+ women have been part of this program. We focus on proven frameworks alongside smart and simplified marketing strategies. We've created a community full of brilliant women ready to grow and scale their businesses. Through our monthly happy mail known as "Growing Guide" workbooks, surprise party favors, and live in-person events, my team and I are constantly pouring ourselves into this mastermind experience. This Sisterhood is becoming all that I had envisioned and more! Two years later, our mission of providing our sisters with success roadmap is still at the front of our minds. It all comes from constant experimentation. We've made it a focus to create seamless systems, include physical components for a better experience, and ask our members what we can improve on. Like everything else in life, building a successful mastermind takes time. Over time, I've learned what my strengths and weaknesses are in delivering a dynamic program such as this and finding support where I need. This in turn has allowed me to thrive when teaching and coaching my clients in this program. Let's unpack what I've learned so far! I can't wait to share with you my tips for designing your own program, and let you in on what goes on behind the scenes in the Inner Circle.

31 Aug 2023 | Ep. 134 - If I Overcame This Fear, What Could Happen? | 00:30:15 | |
They say to “choose your hard” right? We’ve got two choices and they are both hard. We can try something new and feel the fear of failure or we can stay where we are and forever battle feelings of regret, the regret of not going after what we want. I have two stories for you today that illustrate this dilemma. One is about my daughter and the other is about me. Growth and Wisdom Highlights:

20 Jul 2021 | Episode 119 - What To Do Before You Make A Plan For the Second Half of 2021 | 00:25:16 | |
Can you believe how fast this year has flown by? This season (and this year) may look different to you, and that's okay. In this episode, we're not looking to get back on course. We're making our own rules because in entrepreneurship that's what you can do. Let's face it, 2020 was a bit of a whirlwind and in 2021 we're all still playing catch up. Balancing life, motherhood, and business still hasn't been made any easier. Today I'm sharing with you tips on how to manage your time and where to put your focus in your business for the second half of the year. I understand that sometimes it's hard to decide which ideas to take action on and feeling like there's a big question mark in the next chapter of your business. In this episode, I'm going to walk you through a mini-audit of the key areas of your business so you can reimagine your goals and plans. Whatever you’ve been wondering about trying, now’s the time to make it happen! Remember, it’s OK if it’s not perfectly aligned with the goals you set for yourself back in January. You're trying something new, and dipping your toes into unfamiliar territory allows you to find energy and excitement for new things. And after 2020, I think we all need that!
