This is a rather selfish episode if I do say so myself, because I’m taking you BTS of my 2023 vision and how we got there. In this episode I share with you my overall message for the year and the different offerings I have/will have to help bring that message to life. I discuss tentative timelines and launch plans and most excitedly (in my opinion) share some personal life goals that we have for 2023. Thank you again for being part of such an incredibly supportive community. I am so honored to b...

I share some financial wins in a way I’ve never felt called to share before, as well as how the lowest lows affected my showing up & what had to change because of that.

You are in for a treat my #PrettyAwkward family, because you’re not getting golden nuggets to kick off 2023 strong from ONE person, but from FOUR.

My version of ‘tough love’ is comin out in this episode in hopes that it helps drive you into inspired and aligned action. We hear ‘flowy business’ so much in the online space and while I feel that’s SO possible, it also isn’t possible ALL the time or in the very beginning stages of business (for most people). In this episode I’m sharing my beginning journey and how I had to get resourceful AF when shit simply wasn’t working for me. I followed the process my upline taught me in my network market...

This interview is an example of DECIDING you’ll be successful and truly not giving up even with many, many setbacks long the way. My interview today is with a dear friend, and long time client of mine, Hailey Schmidt, who’s positive and LONG TERM outlook on entrepreneurship is nothing short of remarkable. From getting started as an in person trainer, working from sunup to sundown, to getting pregnant WHILE starting her online business, Hailey has had her fair share of obstacles, and every excuse...

TRIGGER WARNING: Miscarriage mentioned Last Thursday my husband and I anxiously sat in the OBGYN's office waiting to hear when we could start trying for a baby again. It has been six months since my miscarriage and because of the type of pregnancy I had, we were told we might have to wait 6-12 months to start trying again. So when the doctor walked in and immediately exclaimed, "NOW"... I was at first confused (not realizing what he meant lol) and then elated. But pretty quickly I realized my hu...

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode I talk openly about my miscarriage experience and how I’ve been feeling since it happened. I talk about how I dealt with seeing friends get pregnant and have babies during this time, how I handled the waves of grief, and how I showed up (or didn’t) for work during this time. If you need to take a break when you’re grieving, take a break. If you need to dive into work when you’re grieving, dive into work. If you want to keep it all to yourself, keep it all to your...

This week’s Heart to Heart episode is a hodgepodge of thoughts that are running through my mind, mainly inspired by conversations with friends and clients in the past few weeks.

The word ‘pivot’ is thrown around A LOT in the entrepreneur world and I myself have used it ad nauseam. But the truth is, usually we’re not making a drastic pivot, but simply changing things around in the WAY we do business; aka a business remodel. In this episode I share when I knew it was time to remodel parts of my business and give you six specific SIGNS to look for when considering yours. I hope by the end of this episode you have a lot more clarity and direction on what your next step is. ...

It’s a slippery slope when we identify solely with what makes us money or what brings us accolades, achievement, recognition, etc. The highs are OH so high, but the lows? Well they can really rock us to our core. Entrepreneurship is a rollercoaster already, but when we fully identify with our business and are only happy if things are going the way we want them to, then we’re setting ourselves up for a lot of unnecessary heartache. In this episode I talk about how I’ve come to find this inner pea...

I recorded this Heart to Heart for you fresh off the plane after a four day trip to Austin where I worked with two clients in person. Not only did THEY have pretty big breakthroughs, but the work we did together gave ME some major breakthroughs (some which came on the plane home hours before I recorded this).

I have shared all year how much I’ve changed in my business; how it looks completely different today than it did a few years ago when I was making a shit ton of $$, but on the verge of burnout. And what I’ve realized over the last few weeks? Not much has TRULY changed. Because sure, my product suite looks a little different and the way I’ve been selling has tweaked a bit (way less live launching, more BTS selling + funnel creation). But my approach and THINKING when it comes to making $$ and cre...

My husband Mike and I decided to take on a little end of the year challenge, and create our own version of Andy Frisella’s, “75 Hard.” We decided to modify ours because our intention for doing this challenge is to connect more together while in a very busy season of life. This is what fits my husband and my current lifestyle, while still stretching us out of our comfort zone. I honestly do a lot of these things already, but stretching a few beyond what I’m used to (water, veggies, very limite...

As per usual, we’re getting very honest in this episode, and I’m sharing how I’ve been craving and feeling a big change coming in my business for quite some time now. I share how it has really been sparked by big life changes that have occurred this year, and how these type of events (whether traumatic or celebratory) really make you reflect on what you’re doing and as “cliche” as this sounds, rethink your life purpose. I give you full permission to change your mind, and hopefully help you see h...

A few months ago I shared a reel of my husband's and my weekly marriage meeting, something we've been doing pretty regularly for about six months now. This meeting really helps us be on the same page with all of the things we need to get done, want to get done, and is a huge reason we stay connected even during crazy times. And my audience loved it, but wanted more details, hence this podcast episode ;) In this episode we answered the following questions… How did we decide what to go over each w...

I hope you enjoy this one. I sure enjoyed recording it for you...
