In today’s episode, I share the exact process I use to shift out of overwhelm, get clear on the next steps, and take aligned action - even when things feel hard.

It's Normal: Don't beat yourself up for feeling overwhelmed. It's a common experience, especially as entrepreneurs. The key is to become strategic about managing your thoughts. The Lifechanging Magic of Tidying Your MIND: Clear your mind by writing down everything that's swirling around in your head. This helps you visualize the clutter and prioritize what needs attention. Weekly & Daily Action Plans: Create simple routines and rhythms for your week and day. Start with a few key tasks that will set you up for success. Focus on Value: Identify tasks that provide the most value to your clients and bring in revenue. Don't be afraid to cut out unnecessary tasks. Take Action: Don't just think about it, do it! The act of taking action can often dissipate the overwhelming energy. Action Steps The Brain Dump: Write down everything on your mind, no matter how small. Prioritize: Separate essential tasks from non-essential ones. Create Action Plans: Develop weekly and daily task lists. Focus on Value: Ensure your tasks are aligned with your business goals and client value. Take Action: Don't wait; start implementing these strategies today!

Ep. 71: I’m Burnt out but I Have to Keep Going. What do I do? 05/07/2024

Ep. 71: I’m Burnt out but I Have to Keep Going. What do I do? Recently, a colleague told me, “I’m totally burnt out, but I have to keep going to pay the bills. What do I do?” Oooo, SUCH a juicy topic! So much in the online coaching space is about “just relax into your feminine” or “honor rest, your cycle, your mood…etc,” but what do you do when you don’t have that option? In this episode, we'll dive deep into the challenges of feeling exhausted, burnout, or “not in your vibes,” AND you’ll learn practical strategies to take care of your energy while still maintaining all of the responsibilities of your business and life. By creating mental space, prioritizing tasks, and engaging in restorative practices, we can overcome burnout and continue to move forward with renewed energy and focus. Here are some inspiring takeaways to keep in mind when dealing with burnout: 1. Allow yourself to feel and validate your emotions. Remember, it's okay to feel exhausted and overwhelmed when faced with multiple demands. 2. Create mental whitespace to prioritize your energy and attention. Identify the energy-draining issues and focus on what truly matters. 3. Do less, better. Instead of spreading yourself too thin, focus on high-impact tasks that move you forward and generate income. 4. Prioritize and eliminate unnecessary tasks. Focus only on those that directly serve your current clients or bring in new paying clients, and let go of the rest. 5. Focus on clear action steps and break down tasks into manageable steps to avoid feeling overwhelmed and promote a sense of accomplishment. 6. Slow down, but don't stop. Take small breaks throughout the day to rest and recharge without completely disengaging from work. 7. Practice "resting in the doing" and focus on completing tasks without judgment, even if you're not at 100%. 8. Incorporate “mini-vacations” to regulate your nervous system and find moments of calm amidst the chaos. Utilize techniques like yoga nidra or deep breathing exercises to find your inner peace.

This is one of those episodes that you record, and you just know there's so much magic in it and that everybody you know needs to LISTEN... Today, we talk about... How to turn your biggest shame into your greatest strength as a person and a business owner. How to pivot your business or your life when it feels out of alignment with your values. How Sophie went from running for her life to creating five successful businesses. How to know when to burn it all down and start over versus continuing on the path. The peril of ambitious women and how things can look really good from the outside when, inside, things are completely f*&%*ed up (Sophie and I both share our own personal stories of dating drug dealers and binge drinking alone). Choosing habits that didn't work even though we had all the tools to change them into something. How I really felt about my transition from living in Hawaii to moving into the woods in Vermont, I got really real and honest about what was going on in my personal life and what I was showing on Instagram. Tune in if you want a really honest, raw conversation between two successful businesswomen who have been able to build and burn down multiple businesses over the years so that you can learn how to trust your own unique path and develop the strength and resilience to finally meet your potential.

Ep 67: Visioning: A Powerful Game Changer for the New Year 01/02/2024

Ep 66: How to Step into Leadership with Rachel Rider 09/19/2023

Ep 66: How to Step into Leadership with Rachel Rider In today's interview, I'm excited to share an insightful conversation with Rachel Rider, a Leadership Coach and the owner of Mettaworks. She is also the author of a new book titled "Who You Are is How You Lead." Our discussion delves into the deeper aspects of leadership and how to embody it. This training is suitable for anyone who wants to expand their impact, grow their audience, hire and build a team, or establish themselves as an expert in their field. This is jam-packed with strategies and tools that you can use to uplevel your leadership and do the deeper work to create a more significant impact in the world. We cover how to lead yourself through fear and anxiety so that you can show up more fully in your business and not resort to dysfunctional habits (like Netflix binges or overworking and burning out) that are crushing your dream. Rachel shares a powerful visualization technique to tap into your feminine leadership so that you can show up more confidently in the boardroom, in front of your team, or for your clients. We talk about how doing the deep end of our work is really the only shortcut to success and how we both lead ourselves through the challenges and our business and serve our clients more powerfully as a result (I think you'll get a lot out of these real-world examples that we both share) so that you can normalize the challenges of leadership while still embodying your capacity to lead. Rachel is a Columbia University certified executive coach with over a decade of coaching experience. She sets her practice apart by drawing from both traditional and alternative modalities, including Somatic Experiencing, Polarity Therapy, Zen Buddhism, Inner Relationship Focusing, and antiracism. Her aim is to see, hear, and feel a client’s needs with utmost clarity in order to bring about profound, lasting, and measurable results. Rachel also draws from firsthand in-house leadership experience, first as Bloomberg’s HR Business Partner responsible for developing and coaching leaders and teams and then in charge of leadership coaching at AppNexus (since acquired by AT&T) and Digital Ocean, the third-largest hosting company in the world. It was in these roles that she began to develop the modalities that underpin the MettaWorks method and motivate the launch of her coaching practice. After earning her executive coaching certification through Columbia University, Rachel founded MettaWorks in 2015. She has gone on to complete a three-year intensive certification in Somatic Experiencing and training in Polarity Therapy, and she continues her decades-long meditation practice with Shugen Arnold Roshi, successor to Zen Mountain Monastery founder John Daido Loori Roshi. As a very important part of her ongoing growth and study, Rachel works with antiracism coach Makeda Pennycooke.

Ep 65: How to Create an Instant Breakthrough for Your Clients 09/05/2023

Ep 65: How to Create an Instant Breakthrough for Your Clients During a recent discussion in our we discussed how to help clients who tend to ramble and steer them toward a breakthrough. I’d like to share some coaching strategies you can implement immediately to help your clients achieve deeper insights and better outcomes. We have all had that client who just keeps on talking and talking, leaving us unsure of how to jump in, get to the point, or find a space to introduce all the amazing content you have prepared for the session. It can be frustrating when you see your client being held back by their story and failing to achieve the breakthrough they came for. HERE ARE A FEW SIMPLE TIPS TO HELP YOU MOVE YOUR CLIENT OUT OF THEIR STORY AND INTO A BIGGER BREAKTHROUGH: Make sure you are not making this about you. Always view your clients as capable and resourceful adults. Keep an eye out for co-dependent tendencies, such as wanting to rescue your client, achieve a particular outcome, or prove yourself right. It’s important to question whether there is really a problem. Often, my clients whom I thought I wasn’t getting anywhere with … were the ones who said our conversations changed their entire lives – and we worked together for years and years as a result! Embrace deep listening. Often, your clients are opening up because they feel safe with you – this is a GOOD thing. Have you ever encountered someone who was ACTUALLY listening to you and not planning their next comment or solution? There is a sense of space that feels SO good. Remember to consider the VALUE you are providing by allowing your clients the space to talk and truly be heard. Often, through deep listening, you will get SO much out of what they are sharing – patterns, belief systems, blocks, and dreams that you can use and draw from as you deepen your relationship. Pre-frame your intentions to interject on their behalf. Especially powerful in group settings like a women’s circle or a group coaching program – PREFRAME rather than REFRAME – so much easier to say, “Everyone is going to get one minute to share; when you hear the bell, please wrap up your thought so that we have time for everyone to share” rather than awkwardly trying to get someone to end their thought process while the group is glazing over and you are watching the time on the clock tick down. You can also say, “I might interrupt you or ask you to “bottom line” something – this is not to be rude or not because I don’t want to hear everything you have to say – it is in service to you having the breakthrough you came here for. When in a “Closing the Deal” or client call. People naturally talk about what is not going well – this is an excellent opportunity to step into your leadership and gently guide your people from their story of the past and into the vision they want to create. A couple of ways of saying this: “Mary, I want to pause you for a second. This is all so good. And I am noticing that you are sharing a lot about what you DON’T want – this is so normal and natural; as humans, we are programmed to focus on what is NOT going well instead of what is. But I want to stretch you here to focus solely on what you DO desire. Imagine we didn’t have to worry about the “how” or even the past; we could wave the magic wand, and in 3-6 months, it’s already happened, and you have all that you desire. What would that look like for you?” When in a client session. You can use the above. Check your own filter and see if your client is getting value or if you are just feeling the urge to “do” something. Allow them to share, hold space, and really LISTEN before moving to the next step. You can use the “pause” or “bottom line” technique – mostly, I find it most helpful to reflect on what you are hearing and then gently guide them to the next step. This will stretch your client out of the old thinking that has them getting their current results and into the new way of thinking that will get them new results. Simply asking the question “What do you want?” works MIRACLES. Ex. “I’m hearing that work is overwhelming, and it’s been hard to exercise with everything on your plate. I’m curious – what is the outcome you want? What would that look like if it could all go perfectly for you?” “How would you know that you had what you wanted? What would you be seeing or experiencing?” Next, ask, “What is stopping you or getting in your way?” And finally, “What is one small step you could take this week to move toward that vision?” This “breakthrough” question series will help your client move out of the repetitive cycle of thoughts that are keeping them stuck and into aligned ACTION – which is where all the magic happens I’d love to hear from you! Was this helpful? Which part can you implement this week to start to bring your clients into deeper awareness and deliver even more incredible results? /episode/index/show/afepodcast/id/27914976

Ep 56: Slaying Shame, Living Brave + Making Millions with Shoshanna Raven 05/24/2023

Ep 56: Slaying Shame, Living Brave + Making Millions with Shoshanna Raven About three months ago I was feeling stuck in my business - I wanted to grow our revenue and team and mission - but was running off zero energy (first-trimester vibes IYKYK), felt uninspired, and stuck on the “how” of getting to the next level. Enter Shoshanna Raven. This woman is pure magic. She has built her own multi-million dollar business in a few short years organically, intuitively, and through breaking all the “rules” that masculine marketing pros are preaching. She does things her own way. In a more feminine, embodied, and FUN way. As a coach, I’ve seen the power in investing in mentors who stretch you (see mentors) and intuitively knew I wanted to work with her - but it would be crazy to invest in my business now, before maternity leave and an “income dip,” right? Yet I just had a feeling it was the move. and... WOW. Since then, my business + income has expanded exponentially. We hired a new team member; we relaunched the Aligned Earning Mastermind (the most EPIC women stepped in); we had our highest cash months YET in the biz... AND I’m set up to take maternity leave while my team runs the business and recurring income pours in - brilliant! She has been such an incredible expander + mentor in my life and I am SO excited for you to experience her energy, magnetism, and bravery (it’s contagious!) In today’s episode, we riff on: How Shoshanna grew an organic multimillion-dollar coaching business in just a few short years (even though she didn’t even set out to be a coach!) How sharing her HSV status with the world (and all her ex-boyfriends) became the catalyst for her unique style of leadership. How embracing vulnerability + authenticity has helped her (and her clients) 10x their income while doing less. And SO much more! I can’t wait to hear how this episode lands for you. Be sure to share it with someone you know who could benefit or connect with me + Shoshanna directly on Instagram - we love hearing from you! and Learn more about Shoshanna and her work here: About Shoshanna: Shoshanna Raven is a holistic lifestyle, business, leadership, and love coach for heart-led visionaries and female entrepreneurs.

Ep 53: Simplify to Amplify: The Benefits of Business Minimalism 05/02/2023

Ep 53: Simplify to Amplify: The Benefits of Business Minimalism Simplify to Amplify: The Benefits of Business Minimalism Today we are talking about my FAVORITE topic right now - how to SIMPLIFY your business to be able to scale your business - without adding more hours to your workday. It is SO easy to get caught up in all the “stuff” on our to-do list that we don’t realize how much of what we’re focusing on and doing on a daily basis isn’t actually driving profits or client results (the two most important things to focus on in your biz!) The key is to start focusing on the 20% of actions that will create 80% of your results - in your business and in your life. When we focus on streamlining, simplifying, and practicing what I call the “Art of Business Minimalism” everything just starts to click and you are able to have more time freedom and energetic overflow without sacrificing your income or impact. Let’s take a look at how to simplify your biz through the magic of a capsule wardrobe… In the past, I would constantly be buying new clothes and things on sale and keeping items that no longer fit me “just in case I lost 20 lbs” and those pants from college could come back into rotation. I thought I was living a “rich life” and being stylish until all the sudden I was spending more time and energy than ever before trying to pick out an outfit, keeping things organized, more laundry to do and even sorting the piles of clothing into seasonal boxes just to store it all! The kicker was that there was probably only 20% of my clothing I ACTUALLY wore. My go-to staples that fit me well and worked together were chosen first over and over… while everything else just took up space. This is EXACTLY what happens in our business - the most important things often get shuffled together with nonessentials. When I finally got rid of the majority of my clothes and kept the white and black tees, the jeans, a few dresses, sweaters, and my favorite accessories… MAGIC HAPPENED. I took WAY less time to get ready, all of my outfits worked together effortlessly to get the result I wanted (looking cute in ½ the time) and what I didn’t realize was how GOOD it felt to go through a closet or open drawers that had SPACE in them. It felt energizing and like I had my shit together - which created a positive impact in ALL areas of my life. Things felt simple, clean, organized, effective, and FUN again! >>Our precious TIME AND ENERGY is spent out of habit doing stuff that makes us feel like we’re managing the clutter of daily to-dos when really what needs to happen is we need to clear 80% of the stuff out that we’re doing in order to amplify our income and deepen our mastery of our craft.<< The key to EXPONENTIAL growth in your biz is not trying harder and adding more “stuff” in… but instead, streamlining the most important things so they become easy and automatic. So how do you identify YOUR 20%? When identifying your top 20%, ask yourself: What are the things that are really working in my business to bring in new clients? How can I improve the QUALITY of my products and services rather than adding in more? (the more value you provide, the more you can charge with less launching, promoting, and developing of new “stuff”!) Here’s what our top 20% looks like: Marketing - I record a podcast once a week (this takes me about 30min-1 hour to create show notes, record, and make a story to promote it). My team repurposes this content into reels, Instagram posts, stories, Pinterest posts, blog posts, and a weekly newsletter. We reach about 20k people each week with high-value content in under an hour of my time. I spend Wednesdays marketing. Sales - Sales calls and “gather and invite” events like masterclasses are the #1 and #2 income drivers in my business. So I make sure I am always creating new connections. Inviting people to calls and serving people powerfully through free content, then inviting me to my programs if it’s a good fit. This puts us in front of about 50-100 people a month, which fills my courses and 1:1s. I spend about 1 day a week focusing on sales and creating and delivering free mini courses and training - this happens on Thursdays typically. Client Experience/Offers - Serving current clients powerfully leads to repeat clients and referrals - this is the FASTEST way to grow your business… to be incredibly good at what you do! I coach 1:1 clients on Tuesdays and run my group calls on Thursdays. The vast majority of people in my programs are repeat clients! This means we are doing our job well. People get so much out of our client experiences that they want to re-enroll and tell their friends. The more I over-deliver, the more our income increases through repeat clients without spending time and energy on marketing. TAKE ACTION NOW: What is your top 20% of actions that create the biggest impact in your business (your bottom line, your client experience, and LOVE for what you do?) MARK YOUR CALENDAR!! This Thursday, May 4th I am offering a FREE masterclass: Simplify to Amplify: How to create a rock-solid biz foundation that can scale to six-figures (and beyond!) with time freedom, energetic overflow, spaciousness + ease. We will go deep into identifying your 20% and the KEY places in your business to focus time, energy, and attention to amplify your income in the next 90 days.

So why don’t we do it? Why we Avoid Creating Simple Businesses That Can Scale Complication is easier than simplification I LOVE this quote… “Anyone can make something complex; it takes a genius to make something simple.” — Albert Einstein The truth is, we often complicate things out of habit. It is EASY to complicate - it is more challenging to simplify. This can also be a trauma response or learned response from our past - if we control everything or look busy and productive, or are “doing” all the time, we are safe, in control, and no one can get mad at us. One of my mentors once reflected to me a life-changing realization: She said: “the energy around the thing is harder than actually doing the thing.” BOY was this true for me. I would get so wrapped up in the hustle and “trying harder” that I would spin out and overcomplicate and get confused or overwhelmed, when in reality just sending the email, building the opt-in page, or having the sales call was EASY and straight forward. I was the one getting in the way. On top of this we often feel guilty or ashamed because we “didn’t do the thing” so we procrastinate and put it off or we get overwhelmed and fear kicks up and we think well” the harder I work and the more hours I put in, the more successful I’ll be…” but then we just spin out or work a million miles in the WRONG direction. How to stop procrastinating and overcomplicating everything: Step 1: Become aware. Instead of buckling down into “figure it out mode,” step back and breathe, create some space - ask: “how can I make this easy?” Step 2: Try simplifying things and doing less to let your nervous system calibrate to ease - ex. Getting used to saying no, not taking on every task in a meeting, do ½ as much in life. Let others support you. TAKE ACTION NOW - what is one thing you can do this week to recalibrate to ease? 2. Embody CEO energy over Intern energy We think trying harder and doing more stuff makes us more successful, but the opposite is true. If you look at the habits of millionaires and successful women entrepreneurs, they are embodying CEO energy and not intern energy. CEO energy is cool, calm, collected, precise, confident, creative, visionary, and focused. Intern energy is frantic, scattered, pushy, striving, people-pleasing, and ultimately ineffective. >>Intern energy is about PROVING. CEO Energy is about OWNING.<< How to step into CEO Energy in your business: Step 1: have a “CEO Day” or morning to get clear on your thoughts and plan for the day or week ahead. I love doing this the night before so when I step into “work mode” and out of “mom mode” I am instantly doing the things that will create results instead of scrolling Instagram, making a snack, organizing my thoughts, and basically wasting the most productive time of the day. Step 2: Consider hiring a team or Virtual Assistant when you are ready so that you can stay in your zone of genius and delegate anything you absolutely can not do yourself. You generate the value, impact, vision, and potentially cash flow of the business while your team runs the business itself. Step 3: Delegate, delegate, delegate :) 3.. Resist the temptation to stay in “idea phase” too long. The trap that MANY creative, visionary, soul-led entrepreneurs get into is that we have TOO many ideas… so many that we aren’t sure which to pursue. We end up in deliberation over implementation. We love dreaming up ideas for offers, branding, social media posts or marketing strategies… we get a quick dopamine hit, and then end up doing nothing. The truth is… it’s fun to come up with ideas. It’s not as sexy to take action. But information is not what creates transformation. ONLY ACTION CAN DO THAT. How to shift from idea to action: This is why I am always encouraging you to take action!! Once you learn the thing, IMPLEMENT the thing. This is the only way to truly “know” anything. Look at how you are spending your time - are you just listening to free trainings and podcasts so you FEEL like things are happening or are you investing in coaching or high-level trainings to stay accountable and build it all out? Are you taking time to integrate and apply your insights to your business? What ideas have you had lately that you need to just implement, let go of, or decide on? Step 1: Write this down now and take ACTION NOW. Step 2: Write down our Aligned Female Entrepreneur mantra and put it where you can see it daily: CLARITY COMES THROUGH ACTION 4. Practice single-focused action It’s also easy to have lots of ideas and take LOTS of action - but want to make sure we are taking action on the RIGHT ideas. This is where having a coach or community of support can be ESSENTIAL. It is hard to see the big picture when we are in the details as a business owner. Often with my clients I encourage them to do LESS and go DEEP on a few core offers or marketing systems rather than try to copy what I do or do what they are seeing other people do on the internet. Because the truth is, bringing things to life is a PROCESS… it will be exciting, then you’ll hit the resistance and need to move through it - takes time and energy so want to be sure you aren’t doing all that work on a $5 ebook when you could do the same amount of work to sell as $10k VIP program. Don’t waste your time + energy context switching. Choose the right pieces to implement, take massive action, be willing to ride the waves and see it through until you generate consistent results and repeat over and over again. It is SO much easier and literally changes your business and your LIFE overnight. I have been able to generate multiple six figures in 3 days a week while pregnant and raising a 1-year-old. The only way I can do this is because my business is simple, streamlined, and runs itself. When I show up, it is in the most powerful ways doing the most impactful things that keep it moving forward EVERYTHING works better. I have more time and energy to spend with my family, money to travel and invest in support, and consistent results and repeat clients in my programs and offers. This is what I want for you! I am going to map out EXACTLY which areas to focus on in your business. We will do an honest and impactful business audit to see what is taking up the most time and space in your day, PLUS you’ll learn how to shift your energy from the masculine pushing, striving, default way of doing business to the relaxed, empowered, magnetic feminine leader you want to become.

Ep 49: Make This ONE Shift to Land More High-Ticket Sales 04/04/2023

Ep 49: Make This ONE Shift to Land More High-Ticket Sales On today’s show, I share how just this one shift in your marketing and messaging can make a HUGE difference in your marketing, your messaging, and in having your clients say a full body YES to working with you - even if you just met. This is to focus on the BENEFITS of your work and not the FEATURES. SO often we focus on the “features” of our products and program - it’s 30 days, 6 sessions, only $200 right now for a limited time! But high-end buyers aren’t looking to buy “stuff” they are looking to invest in “results.” In other words, they don’t care how you get them there, they just want to know you can help them. How this shows up in our work… On your social media posts On your Instagram post you might be like “hey I have a special offer for a 90 minute call with me and it’s only $100.” Even though YOU know how valuable that is and what an amazing deal they are getting - for people who don’t know you or the BENEFITS they are going to receive through doing this call with you so it just registers as buy my thing in their mind. vs. The same offer but positioned differently to share the RESULTS of this type of experience with you. “Hey guys, I have 3 spots available for high-impact coaching calls this week. We will laser target ONE specific area of your business or life that you are feeling stuck, uncover what’s getting in your way of reaching your next level (that you might not even be aware of) and how to recalibrate your energy and refine your strategy to bring in your next 5 paying clients in 30 days.” All of a sudden I’m thinking if I bring in 5 clients in 30 days that’s like $3k plus moving out of this funk - that’s priceless… already im thinking this is work at LEAST $500 as I’m writing this I am literally selling myself. It creates a desire, a vision of what life could be like - like oooo I want THAT. It elicits EMOTION. On your website Are you just saying who you are and what you do? Versus the RESULTS you get for people? For example are you saying I am a psychologist with my PhD in neuroscience or I am a reiki practitioner living in the green mountains of Vermont or I help you overcome your limiting beliefs around loving your body and practice self-care more regularly. So what? What will this do for ME? How do you help? People don't pay you for your certifications - they pay you for the VALUE you provide in their life. People don’t pay you to get rid of their beliefs - what opens up for them once they do? For example: “I help busy moms get back their pre-baby body without dieting, pills, or surgery” Instead of saying I am a business coach for women entrepreneurs… Try “I help holistic entrepreneurs replace their 9-5 income with a six-figure online business so that they can set their own schedule, travel the world, and truly make a difference.” When selling your programs What makes an offer high-end, and highly valuable is the RESULT it gets for your people. SO just notice if this shows up in your sales pages or when sharing what you do with people or in your sales calls. Are you saying “I just put together this Mastermind I think you would love it, do you want to hop on a call?” Crickets. Instead try “Hey NAME, I have been pouring my heart and soul into this new mastermind that I think you would LOVE and get so much out of… we are going to dive deep into the energetics of expanding into your next level of income, I will help you map out your entire year so that you can double or even triple your income, and you will have an incredible sisterhood of support to help you stay accountable to your bigger vision and make it happen in the next 3 months. Does this sound like something you might be interested in?” And if you are reading LISTENING to this and thinking well ya that sounds great - but how do I apply this to MY particular programs, business, and messaging? Then join me in my upcoming FREE masterclass on April 5th you can sign up at As always you can find me in the comments of this episode at , DM me on instagram at , or send me an email at /episode/index/show/afepodcast/id/26410305
