Welcome to the second episode of The Fearless Female podcast! Today's episode is all about knowing what you really want in this life, what you like doing, what lights you up - away from the shoulds. What would you do with all your time if no one was looking, if you didn't tell anyone what you were doing with your time, and if it was all about you?  I am sharing my journey through this reflection, one that came up in a journaling exercise on a day when I had no plans and I could do anything I wanted. Except instead of living it up, I was stuck and overwhelmed unable to really connect to...

The Fearless Female

Welcome to The Fearless Female podcast! Yep, that's right. Things look a little different around here and I have never been more energized to be set free from all the rules, shoulds and expectations I borrowed along the way.  I don't have the energy to follow all the experts, algorithms, and million dollar empires. I don't want to hear about what will make me more successful, get more followers, or what catchy title will get the most clicks.  I just want to host a podcast for real women, wanting to live real lives that feel joyful, safe, exciting, and expansive.  This is the...

Have you ever felt so stuck and stagnant in your life and business that you'd do almost anything to escape — even elect to have foot surgery just to get a month off work? 😅 Yeah. That was me. In this episode I'm getting really honest about the three times in my life I felt completely stuck and stagnant — and what finally helped me move forward each time. Because here's what I know for sure: being stuck isn't a sign you're broken, lazy, or not cut out for this. It's a sign that something in your life is ready to change.

The Fearless Female

Can we have an honest conversation about the coaching industry? Because after 11 years, I have some things to say — and I'm finally ready to say them. In this episode I'm getting real about what coaching actually is (hint: it's not what a lot of people are selling), how the "six figures in 90 days" crowd completely changed the game, and how I personally struggled to find my place in an industry that started to feel really icky. I'm also breaking down the red flags to watch for before you hire anyone, what real coaching actually looks like, and how to find the coach who will genuinely...

In this episode, I'm sharing how I actually plan my months and days as a business owner—without losing my sanity. I can't believe how much unnecessary pressure and hustle I used to put on myself.

Today, I'm walking you through my own goal-setting process, how I take big dreamy ideas and turn them into simple, doable action steps, and why giving yourself permission to do less can...

We aren't just dreaming about what we want to achieve; we are diving deep into the identity shift required to become the woman who already lives that dream.

More Episodes

In this episode I chat with Gillian Galambos, a new entrepreneur with Arrowpost Digital Marketing. Gillian recently made the bold move of leaving her corporate 9-5 job to pursue her fulfilling passion of owning her own business and making an impact. Gillian talks about her journey from feeling stuck to finding her direction, and all she had to learn to make the life-changing transformation. 

 

During our conversation we chat about:

  • The pressure to get a “big girl job” out of college even if it doesn’t feel right.
  • How focusing on personal development and her mindset changed her life. 
  • Her limiting belief that she had to have a business degree and be an extrovert in order to become an entrepreneur.
  • Limiting beliefs and how they hold us back from what we are truly capable of. 

 

Powerful Insight:

  • “So much of what you want to do has to come down to training your mindset that you can do this and it's possible for you, when a lot of the times your biggest obstacle is yourself and your negative self-talk that you might be having.”
  • “Changing my mindset to be like I can really design my life how I want it to look…I’m still now fully realizing all the possibilities that there are and how I can do this now, which I never would’ve been able to do this before.”
  • “Once you get out of your own head that this is how it has to be…how it has to be for the next potentially 30 or 40 years of your life and start thinking of what actually you want your life to look like and allow yourself that space to really dream, anything that you want is possible if you are willing to set aside your fears around it.”
  • “It is almost like you couldn’t see it as a possibility because you are so stuck in how you think things are supposed to be.”

 

Tips to move you forward on your journey:

  1. Follow your intuition and explore it - I think that if you have that little voice of some sort…that your intuition is telling you something isn’t right, be open to exploring the possibility of what else you can do.” 
  2. Find your Tribe - “Try to find other women who are in a similar situation because I feel like it really makes all the difference,  is just being able to have someone to talk about these things with…Having people who understand where you are coming from really helps, I find, when things get tough. Because it is not always smooth sailing. It’s a lot of ups and downs.”
  3. Work on your mindset - “ You have to work on your mindset. That for me was the #1 change probably, was all the work that I, all the new things that I was doing to improve my mindset that I had never even heard of a lot of it…like doing gratitude lists, for example. I try to do that daily. I started listening to podcasts, which I had never really done and I started reading more…like self development books.”
