    523: WHAT AN OLYMPIAN TAUGHT ME ABOUT BUSINESS GRIT
    Jun 18 2025
    This week, I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the most emotionally chaotic, logistically packed, spiritually sobering 48 hours I’ve had in a long time — but what anchored me through it all? A single sentence from a U.S. Olympian on Top Chef, of all places. It stopped me in my tracks and gave me the business pep talk I didn’t know I needed: pressure is a privilege. So in this episode, we’re pulling that thread — what it means, how it shows up, and why it might just be the quiet mindset shift you need if you’ve been feeling the weight of trying to grow something real in the middle of life being… a lot. I’m also catching you up on the chaos (garage door vandals, grief, garden wins, and Jeep purchases), sharing a Hilma product that’s actually working for me, and walking through the real-time shifts I’m making inside my routine and my content rhythm. Because around here? It’s part journal, part business strategy, and part reminder that growth is rarely tidy — but always worth it.

    522: THE REFUND THAT TOOK FIVE EMAILS AND A SURVEY
    Jun 11 2025
    Got hit with a surprise charge and thought, no biggie—I’ll just ask for a refund. What followed? Five emails, a survey, and a whole lot of no thanks. In this episode, I’m breaking down the hoops Rise Guide made me jump through and why that kind of customer service is a brand reputation killer. If you sell anything online, you need to hear this.

    519: GIVING YOURSELF GRACE WHEN EVERYTHING'S A LOT
    May 21 2025
    If you’ve been feeling like you’re carrying too much and still not doing enough—you’re not alone. This episode is a real-time snapshot of what it looks like to juggle a packed life and still choose softness over self-criticism. I’m sharing updates on my trays journey (almost done!), content strategy progress, garden harvests, and the house build… but more importantly, I’m naming the overwhelm and offering permission to let a few things slide. Because giving yourself grace is a strategy—and sometimes, it’s the most important one. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.
