Experimenting with a 3-day workweek Sep 09, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I share a personal experiment I've started in my own business: taking Mondays and Fridays off to create a three-day workweek. While it sounds dreamy on the surface, the reality has been much messier—and that's exactly why I wanted to bring it to you. We dive into how hustle culture and perfectionism make rest feel uncomfortable, why our brains resist slowing down, and how important it is to give ourselves permission to experiment. This conversation is about challenging old rules, embracing imperfection, and creating more space for what you truly want.

How to Change the Story You Tell Yourself (and Change Your Life) Aug 19, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I dive into one of the most powerful mindset shifts you can make: rewriting the story you tell about yourself. Too often, we cling to old narratives—"I'm lazy," "I'm behind," "I've failed"—that keep us stuck, exhausted, and convinced we're not enough. But these stories are built on narrow evidence, ignoring the mountain of proof that shows our resilience, creativity, and success. I share my own journey of reframing a harmful story and the transformations I've witnessed in clients when they shift their self-concept. Nothing changes until your story does.

Why I've offered a guarantee for my mastermind Aug 12, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, I pull back the curtain on why I decided to offer a 100% money-back guarantee for my new high-ticket mastermind for high-achieving women feeling unfulfilled. I share the thought process behind creating a safety net for participants, how it addresses trust issues in the coaching industry, and why I'm willing to take the financial risk. I talk about privilege, integrity, and how this decision pushes me to deliver the deepest transformation possible. Whether you're a business owner or not, you'll gain insight into making bold, values-aligned decisions that prioritize both client trust and personal growth.

If you're feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning what's next after "doing everything right," this episode is for you.

This is for those ready to release old identities and step into the next version of themselves with clarity, community, and courage.

Mid-Year Check In Jul 22, 2025

Show notes

In this mid-year solo episode, I share a deeply personal update on navigating a season of transition and uncertainty. From shutting down my membership to questioning what's next, I reflect on what it means to evolve without attaching self-worth to productivity or clarity. I talk about the emotional toll of global events, holding space for conflicting truths, and allowing open-ended exploration instead of forcing answers. If you're feeling unmoored, uninspired, or unsure about your next step, this episode offers a grounded perspective on how to sit with the unknown and redesign your life with curiosity, compassion, and intention.

Replay: Managing Fear Jul 15, 2025

Show notes

In this episode of Lessons from a Quitter, we dive into the fear that keeps us stuck. It's not the lack of information that holds us back—it's the "what ifs" and unanswered fears that paralyze us. I walk you through a powerful tool: answering the fear-filled questions your brain throws at you. What if you fail? What if they judge you? Instead of spinning in anxiety, learn how to map out worst-case scenarios, strategize solutions, and take back your power. Plus, I introduce a free quiz to help you figure out whether it's time to quit and what to focus on next.

Replay: Arguing with Reality Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

We often waste precious time and energy arguing with reality – insisting that things should be different than they are. In this episode, I reveal the common pitfalls of waiting for a perfect, non-existent option C and explain why it's crucial to accept the 50-50 nature of life's choices. By letting go of the illusion of control and focusing on how we want to respond to the circumstances we face, we can gain clarity, make better decisions, and reclaim our power. Tune in to discover how to stop the exhausting cycle of arguing with reality and start moving forward with intention and purpose

Going All In Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

In this week's episode of Lessons from a Quitter, we explore the powerful mindset shift of going all in—even when you know the current situation isn't your final destination. Whether you're in a job you plan to leave or building toward a dream that's still years away, living with one foot in and one foot out robs you of joy, growth, and fulfillment. I share personal insights and coaching that helped me reframe commitment, not as a trap, but as a choice to fully show up. Tune in to learn how to go all in, right where you are.
