One of the realities about being called to both of these is that our capacity (both mentally and actual time) is often very limited. And I’m no different! Especially in this season of single motherhood. So there’s no fancy show notes written, and I didn’t get this up as quickly as I’d have liked. But I’m walking my talk. And done is better than perfect. ;) This conversation has been coming up a lot with clients and friends recently, so let’s talk about the realities of being called to both prese...

You crave rest, time freedom, spaciousness, and to be able to actually do things you want to do. (Both with your kids and without.) After all, doesn’t it seem like that’s what you’re supposed to get when you run your own business?! But in reality, you never take that time. Or if you do, you feel so horribly guilty or even shameful that you don’t enjoy it and rarely do it again. Especially if your kids are home! WTF is up with that?! This is a conversation I’ve been seeing come up with clients an...

If you’ve had clients leave, felt like selling seemed to get harder, and/or noticed a significant revenue drop in the last year, you’re not alone. (But so many of you feel like you are!) This is something I’m seeing and hearing come up A LOT this year with clients, peers, and even mentors from coaching to done-for-you services like VA/OBM and podcast management. So let’s talk about it! That’s why I went live this week in my free private Facebook group, Both/And Mamas, to talk about the shift in ...

In the last episode I talked about how I built my first business, left my career in medicine, and built it up to a podcast agency with a team of 11 making consistent $25k+ months in revenue. AND I shared on an IG story recently that I’ve currently got 5 part time gigs going on to add up to one full time income, including my podcast business. I’ve shared publicly that my first business is down to just me again with a small handful of podcast clients, I have this coaching business as well, and tha...

If you’re working on growing your business so you can leave a job that keeps you away from home and have more freedom to be home full time with your little(s)—especially if you have to work full time in that job to pay the bills or because there is no part time option in your current career—this one’s for you, babe.

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the last 6 years as a mom and entrepreneur dedicated to working in part time hours is that planning ahead for what you need and want to get done in your business (and life!) is so so helpful if you want to make the most of the time you do have to work towards your goals. AND. I also have learned that if you try to map out every minute of every day and have it on such a tight schedule that if it doesn’t get done when you plan to, shit falls apart prett...

When you’re really working to create the life you desire in your personal life, motherhood, individuality, and business, yes, strategy IS an important piece there. But another BIG piece is mindset. But when you’re overwhelmed, sleep deprived, under-resourced, or schedules change unexpectedly…it’s natural to slip into a not so positive headspace—even if you consider yourself a pretty positive person generally! And I know that time is extra limited during the summer when the kids are home. That’s ...

Sure, you may have started your business with the idea of being your own boss or making more money or just trying to figure out how to work from home. But I’m willing to bet that it was actually the desire for FREEDOM of some sort that was underneath your path here. Sound true? Maybe it was the freedom to do something just for you, to work around your kids, to make money for yourself so that you weren’t dependent on a partner, or any other flavor…it’s usually there underneath this path to entrep...

I’m guessing you started your business because you, too, wanted to get to actually BE there and experience your life, right? For your kids, for your relationships, and for yourself.

BUT it IS possible. And it’s my mission to help you get there. That’s why today I want to talk to you about b...
