    855: Why You Need to Separate Your Self-Worth From Your Success
    Feb 24 2025
    Have you ever achieved a major milestone in your career, only to find yourself wondering, “What’s next?” It’s an odd feeling, isn’t it? That mix of pride, joy, and maybe a little fear about where to go from here. Today’s guest, Azie Jazestani, knows this feeling all too well. With nearly two decades in the events industry, Azie went from planning unforgettable celebrations to running her own venue, Maison Principale. She scaled and sold that business—a massive achievement that any entrepreneur would dream of. But what came next wasn’t just a victory lap. It was a brave step into reinvention. Now, Azie is the founder of The Sweet Table Shop, a beautifully curated product line for event professionals and party lovers. Her story is one of resilience, creativity, and constantly evolving to embrace new opportunities. But it’s also a story about the comeback after a win—the surprising challenges that arise after reaching a peak and the courage it takes to build again. In our conversation, we discuss how Azie navigated this journey, her insights on staying true to your vision while reinventing yourself, and the lessons she’s learned about resilience and renewal.

    853: The Power of Saying No: How to Focus on What Matters Most in Life and Business
    Feb 17 2025
    When I think about the incredible women in the Goal Digger community, I’m constantly blown away by the way you’re showing up for your dreams while navigating the beautiful, messy realities of life. Today’s guest, Samantha Gaunt, embodies that perfectly. She’s a blended mom of five, a creative entrepreneur, and the founder of Simply Scaling—a business that helps mompreneurs streamline their businesses and align their passions with their monthly cycles for a strategic edge. How amazing is that? Sam reached out to me in the Goal Digger Podcast Insiders Facebook Group with a challenge I know so many of us face: how to prioritize intentional growth while protecting your energy. With so many opportunities calling your name, how do you decide where to focus? How do you shift from “doing it all” to doing what matters most—without losing yourself in the process? In our coaching session, we explore Sam’s journey as a multi-passionate mompreneur and unpack the importance of saying “no” to good opportunities to say “yes” to the great ones. Let’s dive into how to identify what truly moves the needle in your business, align your work with your personal values, and create boundaries that honor your energy.

    850: Stop Doing It Alone: How to Create a Circle That Lifts You Up
    Feb 5 2025
    Have you ever hit a huge milestone… and realized you had no one to truly celebrate with? Entrepreneurship can feel isolating, but here’s the truth: you don’t have to do it alone. Over the years, I’ve learned that the key to thriving in life and business wasn’t about doing it all yourself, but about creating a circle that lifts you up: a group of people who support you, inspire you, and help you grow in ways you never thought possible. In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to stop doing it alone—how to build meaningful relationships, find like-minded people, and nurture those connections even when life feels overwhelming. I’ll share personal stories, like my fan-girl moment with Amy Porterfield that turned into a life-changing friendship, and give you actionable tips to start forming your own circle of support. If you’ve ever felt like you’re cheering for everyone else but no one’s cheering for you, this episode is your reminder to prioritize connection. Because when we surround ourselves with the right people, incredible things happen.
