EP 32: The mirror is what gives you freedom. It's not the absence of problems—it's the willingness to look at them.
Women With GRIT Podcast
It's December 31st. The last three days have felt like two weeks crammed together. I've had hard conversations this week—and I'm ending 2025 lighter because of them. This isn't a polished "here's everything I learned this year" episode. It's raw. It's what actually happened when challenges came up on my team and how I handled them. I'm sharing my two non-negotiables before any hard conversation: sleep on it first, and get face-to-face (even if it's video). I'm also breaking down why I take radical ownership—even over things I probably shouldn't—because deflecting would mean I never...

EP 31: Discipline before data: The real secret to business clarity
Women With GRIT Podcast
You've probably heard "what gets measured gets managed." But here's what nobody tells you: the data doesn't create the discipline. The discipline creates the data. That one shift changed everything for me—and it's the difference between business owners who scale with freedom and those who stay stuck guessing. In this episode, I'm breaking down why the dashboards aren't your problem, why tracking your numbers "when things settle down" is a trap, and what I learned from a guy who actively runs 76+ companies without being inside any of them. (Spoiler: he's not superhuman. He just built the...

EP 30: It's not a time problem; it's a visability problem.
Women With GRIT Podcast
What if the only thing standing between you and running your business from anywhere in the world is a question you haven't learned to ask yet? I just handed my team 12 workflows to build for Q1—without a single meeting about how to build them. Because I've learned that my job isn't to create the systems. My job is to define the result, identify the data I need to see, and let my team lead the build. In this episode, I'm breaking down how we identified our Big Domino for 2026 (positioning), why processes became our second constraint to eliminate, and the two systems I'm obsessing over...

EP 29: The biggest mistake I ever made and will make in my business
Women With GRIT Podcast
Christmas Eve. Date night with my husband. Planning for 2026. And somewhere in that conversation, I finally said out loud the biggest mistake I've ever made in my business—one I'm still working through to this day. I didn't believe in myself. For years, I hid behind my CPA license. I let the credential do the talking because I didn't trust that my story, my perspective, my way of helping people was enough. And I watched people build movements around the exact same work I was doing—because they believed it mattered and I was still waiting for permission. Here's what I've learned:...

EP 28: The lonliest year - but one of the things that made it better.
Women With GRIT Podcast
2025 was the loneliest year of entrepreneurship I've experienced. And I know I'm not the only one who felt it. In this episode, I'm getting real about what it's like to grow a business in a small town, surrounded by great people who don't share your goals—and how the culture inside my company became the antidote to that isolation. The biggest factor in my leadership growth this year? Transparency. Not the "I think I'm pretty open" kind. The kind where I share financials with my team, ask them to find my blind spots, and admit when I've messed up. Here's what I've learned: your team isn't...

EP 27: If you're setting multiple goals for 2026, you're already telling on yourself.
Women With GRIT Podcast
Warren Buffett said it best: "Diversification is the protection against ignorance. It makes little sense if you know what you're doing." We've been sold on the idea that more goals mean more ambition. But here's the truth: multiple goals create multiple conflicting priorities—and conflict kills momentum. In this episode, I'm breaking down why we set just ONE North Star for the year, and how making mine bigger actually made everything simpler. When I increased our target, suddenly delegation became obvious. What wasn't worth my time became crystal clear. And I stopped asking my team to...

EP 26: The wrong words could be wrecking your sales and leadership
Women With GRIT Podcast
What if the gap between you and your next level of profitability isn't a strategy problem—it's a language problem? In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on my own journey from doer to teacher, and the uncomfortable realization that changed everything: your clients' objections aren't about your offer. They're revealing what they believe. And if you can't shift the belief, you'll never close the sale. I'm sharing what happened when I committed to positioning as my Big Domino for 2025—investing in storytelling, sales funnels, and learning to sell the payoff of what I do without...

EP 24: Why 'I Can't Afford It' Is Sabotaging Your Success
Women With GRIT Podcast
The word 'afford' actually means 'to advance' or 'to put forth' - so when you say 'I can't afford this,' you're literally telling your brain you lack the ability to advance yourself. And since your brain can't visualize 'can't' but it can visualize 'lack,' you're reinforcing scarcity thinking every single time. In this episode, we explore how the words we use shape our reality (your body is 60% water - those words matter), why building your foundation on anything other than solid principles will crumble, and how small acts of stewardship determine whether you can be trusted with much. Plus:...
