Align & Amplify Podcast
During Christmas time in the midst of a conversation with a family friend, I mentioned how I wanted to work the same amount of time I work now and make WAYYYY more money.

Create Goals that Really Stick
Align & Amplify Podcast
Welcome to a brand new year! It's that time when many set new intentions/goals for the year, and get excited about what's to come.

This is typically a simple and to the point list of changes you'd like to make, and what you'd like for your life to...

2023 Personal & Professional Reflections
Align & Amplify Podcast
We're about to close one year and open another, which is the perfect time to reflect back on everything that's happened over the past 365 days. In this episode I'm sharing my personal and professional reflections from 2023. My biggest moments, biggest lessons, what I'm most proud of, and what I envision going into 2024.
info_outlineNext week I'll be getting on a plane to move back to the States after living in Australia for almost 6 years. Whenever we have these big life changes where we're beginning a new chapter, it's fun to look back and notice how we've changed over the years.
I moved here in my late 20's with just 4 suitcases that held my life, and a little bit of freelance design work to pay for the bare essentials. I'll be returning as a wife, a mother, a design agency owner. But so much more has changed beyond the titles and what's on the surface. That's what I want to share with you guys in today's episode.
Growing a business also becomes a huge crash course in personal development. It requires you to expand yourself and get our of your comfort zone in ways you may not have otherwise done.
Since launching/growing Girlboss Designer, I've gone further and further into the world of self development - much more than I had ever done when I had a "job".
When I look back over my time here in AU, I've done SO MUCH development! From the more practical side with business and strategy programs - to the deeper internal work with mindset, subconscious work, deep healing and manifestation.
Working on myself in all of these areas has changed not only how I view myself, how I operate in my life and the results that I see, but also how I interact with others and even my bank account.
