🎙 Episode 30: Born Feet First & Still Doing It My Way: A Mid-Year Biz Ramble

An unfiltered birthday-week download about things I’m proud of, things I’m avoiding, and why this year’s been a weird one... recorded with flabby arms out, zero plan, and too many browser tabs open in my brain.

This episode had no script—just me (overheated and freshly 43), talking through what’s been working, what’s felt hard, and where I’m at as we pass the halfway mark of 2025. If you’ve been feeling stuck, scattered, uncertain, or like your brain is a pinball machine full of untouched Trello cards… this one's for you.

In this very real birthday-week ramble, I spiral about:

• What’s been lighting me up (and what’s been draining me) in business lately

• Why “done is better than perfect” is still my north star

• Navigating low energy, weird revenue months, and the unpredictability of post-2020 biz life

• Getting visible even when engagement is down and motivation is wobbly

• The lessons of launching a workshop, flopping a flash sale, and growing a podcast

• The never-ending tug-of-war between simplifying your offers and doing all the things

• Why follow-up matters, what a value ladder really looks like, and how to sell without rushing

• Thoughts on starting a membership someday and what I’m still figuring out

• The joy of starting a “good things log,” inspired by a recent podcast guest

• A new feature I’ll be rolling out soon so YOU can submit listener questions for future episodes!

Plus: nacho metaphors, potato-day permission slips, and why I’m pledging not to give up on my business—no matter how weird this year’s been. Wanna join me?
