148. A look inside my daily work routine and seasonal planning Jun 23, 2026

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what my day-to-day schedule actually looks like as a business owner, wife, and mom of two little ones. This conversation was inspired by discussions during my Austin Mastermind Retreat, where we started talking about how different entrepreneurs structure their days, manage their workloads, and plan for various seasons of life and business.

I’m sharing everything from my typical workday schedule to how I intentionally adjust my workload throughout the year. If you've ever wondered how to balance running a business while raising young children—or if you've felt pressure to follow someone else's productivity formula—this episode is for you.

What you'll learn

How I structure a typical Monday through Friday workday as a mom and entrepreneur
Why I intentionally keep my workweek around 15–20 hours
How motherhood has taught me to build flexibility into my schedule
The difference between my summer and winter business seasons
Why I plan launches, offer creation, and major projects around specific times of year
How to identify the work schedule that fits your personality and productivity style rather than following someone else’s formula

147. How to build your own mastermind (when you’re not getting invited into the room) Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the story behind a spontaneous idea that turned into one of the most impactful business experiences I’ve had in a long time. After watching other creators attend mastermind-style weekends and feeling a little left out, I decided to stop waiting for an invitation and create my own room instead.

I walk you through exactly how I organized a creator retreat in Austin, from inviting the first few people and coordinating travel logistics to planning mastermind sessions, booking an Airbnb, and creating an experience that helped everyone leave with actionable ideas for their business.

Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that if the opportunity you want doesn’t exist yet, you have the power to create it yourself. Whether it’s a mastermind, a networking event, a girls’ weekend, or simply a space to connect with like-minded people, sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you build.

What you'll learn

Why waiting for an invitation may be holding you back

Show notes

In today's episode, I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes coaching riff originally created for my Scalability students all about what makes an offer truly effective in 2026. Whether you're creating a $7 product, a premium coaching program, or anything in between, I break down the key elements that help offers create faster transformations, increase implementation, and deliver better results for students.

We dive into why most creators overcomplicate their offers, how to identify and address the resistance that keeps customers stuck, and why learning styles, AI integration, and strategic curriculum design matter more than ever. If you're building, refining, or optimizing an offer, this episode will give you a practical framework to evaluate what's working and what needs improvement.

What You'll Learn

Why every element of your offer should be built around the payoff and transformation, not information overload
How to identify the resistance and mental blocks that prevent students from getting results—and how to design around them

I’m sharing the emotional and mental toll it took, the money mindset struggles that surfaced, and the exact things I’ve been doing to rewire my beliefs around money, abundance, and receiving.

I’m also diving into the journal prompts, mindset shifts, and daily habits that helped me move from fear and scarcity back into alignment—and ultimately back into consistent sales.

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down how AI is actually saving me time in my business and personal life instead of creating more work.

Show notes

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down one of the easiest ways to collect ongoing market research for your business without constantly polling your audience or overcomplicating the process.

This one simple automation helps me improve my content strategy, strengthen my messaging, grow my email list, promote my podcast, and naturally introduce my offers—all while collecting valuable audience insights in the background.

If you’ve been guessing what your audience wants to hear from you, this episode will help you stop guessing and start using actual data to guide your content and marketing decisions. And if you’re not already using ManyChat, I also share where you can grab a discount to get started.

139. The #1 skill every entrepreneur needs in the AI era Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

In today’s episode, I dive into a concept that completely shifted how I think about business growth—pattern recognition. After listening to an interview with Tony Robbins, I realized that the most valuable skill in today’s AI-driven world isn’t just using AI—it’s knowing how to think. I break down why pattern recognition is the skill that separates entrepreneurs who are growing from those who feel stuck, and how combining this skill with AI can completely change the game.

I also walk you through why AI isn’t the magic answer people think it is. It can analyze data, but it can’t replace your intuition, your curiosity, or your lived experience. I share how pattern recognition shows up not just in your content and strategy, but in your habits, your thoughts, and the way you show up in your business. Plus, I give you a simple 7-day exercise to start strengthening this skill immediately.

What you'll learn

Why pattern recognition is the most important skill in the AI era
The key difference between using AI and thinking for yourself
The three things AI will never do for you in your business
How successful entrepreneurs use pattern recognition to grow faster
The role of internal patterns (thoughts, habits, behaviors) in holding you back or moving you forward
A simple daily exercise to help you start recognizing your own patterns
