I hope that you get to experience the boss feeling of achieving a long-held goal.

Business lessons from a luxury island retreat Apr 10, 2025

Show notes

Do I have to be posh? “What does one wear to a private island?” 🏝️🤵

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm New Money (and I’ve made plenty of New Money mistakes) 🤣

So I don't always know what to do in situations when there are other successful or rich people around.

I was recently invited on a thank you trip by my bank for being a valuable customer to a private island resort. It was all very White Lotus minus the raunchiness and killing.

We didn't know what to wear or how to act, so we just tried to be ourselves.

The biggest takeaway from this trip? You can be yourself and still be successful—there's no need to impress anyone.

Have you ever felt out of place in a new environment? How did you stay grounded?

Practical ways to overcome fear in your business Mar 26, 2025

Show notes

I have been scared about so many things in my life - especially when I’ve tried something new.

Life and Biz update - Honoring the season you’re in Mar 20, 2025

Show notes

Over the past decade, my business has experienced tremendous growth and transformation.

As a Virgo, I approach our work with intention, carefully considering how and why we do things. I’m proactive in making changes to align the business with the current season of my life.

Sometimes these adjustments arise from practical needs—like having kids, traveling, or team dynamics. Other times, they stem from recognizing boundaries, managing burnout, or focusing on how I want to spend my time.

My friend, Natatlie MacNeil, taught me that it’s okay to give yourself permission to be in different phases or seasons of life and business.

You don’t have to achieve everything at once or write every book of your career right now.

Currently, I’m in a reflective phase as my young kids grow and require more of my attention.

To support both my and Mark’s mental health, we’ve taken a partial sabbatical while we build our new home and prioritize our family and personal interests.

Of course, we still work, particularly in the Money Bootcamp community by welcoming new members and hosting our monthly coaching calls, but we’ve intentionally slowed our pace. We’re focusing on simplifying our lives instead of chasing a massive financial goal.

This journey has been enlightening. In this week’s podcast, I share a life and business update.
