Ep. 314: The Power of a Pause and Honoring Your Capacity (An Update)
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
After some intentional down time this summer, it's time for an update on what my 3-month podcast sabbatical looked like and what's next in the world of BEYOND. There is so much power in taking a pause – sometimes they're planned out well in advance, and sometimes they're the curveballs that change up the plan. In this episode, I'm reconnecting to share the unexpected parts of my year, what that's looked like for myself, my family and my business. While a lot of uncertainty remains and I continue to pray for clarity and discernment, I'm sharing with you what I DO know for...

Ep. 312: 5 Unexpected Plot Twists That Changed My Business for Good
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
In John Lennon’s famous song Beautiful Boy, he sings the words, “Life is what happens to you While you're busy making other plans.” I feel similarly when I look back and think about the trajectory of my business journey – there have been so many plot twists that happened while I was making other plans. When your reality looks different than you thought it would, it can be really hard! It can feel extremely uncomfortable. And the thoughts and feelings we have about what life and business look like compared to what we THINK it should look like can make it really tough to TRUST THE...

Ep. 311: Two Truths and a Lie: a Tool to Gain Clarity and Get Unstuck
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
The truth: we all believe lies. They impact every area of our lives: from our relationship with ourselves to our marriage relationships and friendships, parenting, business, faith, dreams and goals. The problem is that these lies are hard to see for ourselves. This is true especially if we've been believing them for a long time. And if we can't see them, we have little hope of getting rid of them. In this episode I'm sharing Two Truths and a Lie - a tool I've created to help you uncover the lies you're believing so that you can live BEYOND them. You'll learn: • How lies...

Ep. 309: How Your Thoughts Run Your Life
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
Proverbs 4:23 NCV says "Be careful what you think because your thoughts run your life." At an intellectual level, we understand the importance of our thinking and the power of our mindset, but at a personal, soul level, we're not so sure. In the middle of the everyday, how does this work? How do your thoughts run your life? And what can you do about it? In this episode we're breaking down two key pieces of truth anchored inside this passage. We were created with the agency, the free will to shape our thinking, and it may be the greatest gift we have. Understanding this gift and our...

Ep. 308: 5 Reasons You're Busy but not Productive
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
Do you ever get to the end of a busy day or week and feel like you got nothing done? How is that even possible? For moms building businesses and careers while raising families, the struggle is real. We constantly feel behind, even when it seems like we're always on the go. The reality for many of us is that we are really busy without being very productive. We tend to think that these terms are synonymous, but they are not. Being busy does not equal being productive. On this episode we're talking about the differences between being busy and being productive and five reasons you may feel...

Ep. 307: A Conversation With 75-Year-Old You
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
Do you ever fear that you're missing out on your own life? Maybe you imagine that near the end of your days, you'll look back and realize you were focused on all the wrong things.

Ep. 306: 5 Habits That Can Fix 80% of Your Problems
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
Micro changes, macro results. That's how I think about habits. They don't have to be huge, overwhelming and time-consuming in order to be life-changing. Often, the little things, done consistently, are the big things. This is because they build on each other – they compound. Today we’re talking about life-changing habits. These are powerful rituals that either I have in place in my own life as a mom and entrepreneur, ones that have been really helpful and effective for my clients, or a combination of both. I named this episode 5 Habits that can fix 80% of your problems...

Ep 305: Stop Saying You're Sorry for These 8 Things
BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to Business
Do you find yourself apologizing constantly? Saying you're sorry for something you've done and want to take responsibility for is one thing, but often, we are apologizing for things that don't actually require apologies. The problem? Over-apologizing can undermine your authority and competence, and it is a reflection of the relationship you have with yourself. In this episode, we're talking about why, especially as women, we tend to apologize when it's not necessary. We're talking about these specific situations where an apology just isn't helpful or useful: • Being human...
info_outlineIs chasing growth KILLING your business as a creative or coach? If you’re like wait… what? – “Growing, isn’t that what I’m supposed to be doing over here?” I get it. In the world of online business, we’re told that growth = success. But did you know that rapid growth is the number one reason small businesses fail? It may seem counterintuitive, because it goes against so much of the messaging we hear as entrepreneurs.
“If you aren’t growing, you’re dying.” (Wrong.)
“Every year your numbers should go up.” (Not always, not for everyone.)
“A successful business focuses on more sales and revenue.” (Not if your goal is profit.)

-
