Entrepreneurial parent, family-first entrepreneur, founder family - these are all the phrases that capture the essence of what matters to you. You're not just an entrepreneur, you're not just a parent, you're this beautiful combination of the two. And we’ve put a little definition together to continue to paint the picture of what that means. To us, a founder family captures the entrepreneurs who have successfully integrated their family and business into one powerful mission in life together, an...

In a world that is so easily polarized, there has never been a more important time to know how to face conflict head on. Most people, by nature, want to avoid conflict, but unfortunately it’s a guaranteed part of running a business and being a leader. So today, we’re talking about different ways to handle conflict with a level of confidence where you don't feel like you have to melt into a puddle and slink away because it's going to be too painful or uncomfortable. In today’s episode, you’ll hea...

Do you have dinners around the table as a family? I get it, life is busy. You’re trying to run a successful business, you have your family, your spouse and your kids pulling you in multiple directions - it’s a lot. But I've seen the power of simple intentional conversations and the resulting transformation that happens with the families we work with, whether it's at Camp Luminary, our mastermind members, or our Co(op) community. And I want that for you, too. Today we are sharing the five convers...

This is the final part of our three-part series (so, if you haven't tuned in to the previous two Monday episodes, make sure you catch up on them!) And we're ending this series by talking about how to get your mojo back. When you’re an entrepreneur there is always a certain point where you feel like you’ve lost your energy and your spark for your work. That shift from losing sleep because you’re too excited to losing sleep because you’re too stressed out. Today we're talking all about those soul ...

We often talk about juggling too many balls and spinning all the plates. And if you've tuned into our most recent three-part series, you know that we're working really hard to help you have the tools and to equip you to beat overwhelm in all categories of your life, once and for all. But sometimes, when the heaviness or the busyness of doing it all becomes your norm, your family starts to mirror that rhythm. Nothing upsets the creative process or potential for growth than a frazzled family. So t...

Today’s episode is the second part of our three part series “From Frazzled to Laser Focused” and it’s all about showing you how to stop living for “someday”, and how to live that “someday” you crave - right now. Have you convinced yourself that this is just a season? Are you saying things like: “When we finally do X, then we can actually do Y.” or “If we could just get to this point, then we'll be able to [fill in the blank].” Do you feel overwhelmed and overworked, like you’re constantly puttin...

A common theme I hear among my clients and people that tune into this show is that when fall approaches, there's this feeling of stress or sadness of leaving summer and at the same time, this craving for routine and consistency. Today's episode is all about planning for the new season as a founder family so that you can shift gracefully, both as an entrepreneur and as a parent. Hopefully, this episode helps you make that shift as seamless as possible so that the changing of the seasons is someth...

Do you feel like you are constantly putting out fires in your business and at home? Like there's really no space for creation, innovation or possibility seeking, let alone fun and enjoyment? What you really want to do is dream of what's next, create for hours on end without interruption as you give birth to the next genius idea that puts you on the map as a sought after visionary and leader in your space, and then clocking out both physically and mentally after a fulfilling day's work to seamles...

Let's just put it all on the table. Raising kids and deeply caring about how they are actually raised (not just raising them to survive) while simultaneously growing a business and actually deeply caring about the possibility of success, can feel like a lot! In these situations, peace can feel like a far off dream, not accessible to you because of the life you've chosen. But I would argue that entrepreneurial life has chosen you, you were designed for this. So, how do you create that life of cal...

What would really happen if you got to that next level of success? About 11 years ago, when I was first becoming an entrepreneur, I remember hearing some people say that they were afraid of success. And I really couldn't resonate with what they were saying. How could you be afraid of success? Success is such a good thing. And I don't think I fully understood what they meant until last year. Since mentoring many of my peers and high level entrepreneurs, and coming into new opportunities myself, I...

I'm so excited to bring you today’s Raising Luminaries episode because my guess is that what seems like common sense might not be common practice in a lot of families, especially entrepreneurial families that are juggling so much. And I would venture to say that most families are probably not making much time for this. This can be a really powerful new tradition in your family without a huge investment of time. Today's episode is all about prioritizing family one-on-one time between each of the ...

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about the recession and changes in the economy. What does that have to do with you? Well, you're a business owner, you're an entrepreneur, so it has everything to do with you! Those entrepreneurs that just sit back, don't pay attention and just worry about their own personal economy are the ones that are going to have to survive through these tough periods instead of thriving through it. But, the good news is - you can thrive through it! To help you do this, to...

Welcome back to Raising Luminaries! Right now, a lot of you are going through transitions in your family: kids going back to school or you’re kicking off homeschool again; and I felt like it was really important to ground us in this week's episode around the idea of having a mission as a family. We are entrepreneurs so it's really common for us to create a mission for our business, to know where we're going and why we're going there and what it looks like. But what about for your family? And wha...

Do you ever feel it's tough for you and your business to be swift in changes or pick up and try new things? You watch other teams or companies test a new product or pitch a new idea like it's always been a part of the plan, but whenever you look at what's ahead, you feel like there's no space for quick new changes, or like you don't have the agility or the ability to do it? That's what we're talking about today - the permission and the necessity to be agile in your business. As the leader, how d...

Welcome back to our last summer series episode! As much as today’s episode is geared towards the kids, I'm pretty sure this is one that the parents should tune into too, because we're talking about dealing with pressure and burnout. Kids get burned out too and parents are not sure how to help them. Today's episode is allowing me to jump in and support you with some ideas on how you can navigate getting burned out or having too much pressure or feeling stressed out. This is something that kids ar...

Do you ever feel like you are working for the weekend or living for that vacation? And when you finally get to that vacation you are working so hard to get ahead before you leave and then trying to play catch up when you return that sometimes it just seems easier not to go? If you've ever had these feelings then today’s episode is for you! We recently took a five week vacation as a family, and we did it differently than we have in the past. So, today I want to share with you a behind-the-curtain...

Today's conversation is all around figuring out whose opinion really matters. So, mom, dad, whoever is listening, you should tune in with your kids on this one because after a decade of mentoring entrepreneurs, I am certain that we all need this as much as they do! Let's raise them up right! IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVER: [1:32] The World Is Noisy We live in a really noisy world, don't we? It's not that we're just hit anymore with the opinions of our family or our peers, but we are bombarded all day...

How do you know when it is time to make a change? As a leader in business, when you know that there is another level for you, but you're avoiding doing the things necessary to get there and you're disillusioning yourself into thinking that it will just happen naturally with time, it's time to make a change. Because nothing changes if nothing changes. So, today we're talking about the idea of being at max capacity and not possibly understanding how you can pivot, change, evolve, grow but you know...

Our summer series continues with an episode for the up-and-coming generation of leaders and today we're talking about the real power of family. If there is one thing that's super easy to take for granted, it's our family. They're always going to be there, even when we aren't kind or considerate and they love us unconditionally, and are usually a part of our everyday life. It's easy to kind of overlook them, because they're always around. Today we are digging into why it's so important to see fam...

What happens when doubt starts to creep in? Can you still lead with doubt? Can you still be an effective and strong leader when you too have questions about what you're navigating and your belief is shaken? Today, I’m going to share with you what it has felt like to lead with doubt because I've done it. I’ll talk through how to navigate the rockiness of leadership when you feel like you should have it all together. Because guess what? This is what leadership is all about! SHOW NOTES: https://lum...

We are back for another summer series episode! Today’s episode is an important one, because it's the foundation that everything else is built on. Because if you don't believe that things are possible, if you don't open your mind in a way that allows you to see possibility instead of all the reasons why things aren't going to work out, you're going to continually hit roadblocks. Fear of failure is normal, it's common. But what do you do with it? How do you approach it? How do you break through it...

Today’s topic might make some of you squirm; not because it's something that makes you uncomfortable, but because it might not sit well with everybody when we dig into it. For many of us, letting our guard down as leaders and showing our cards can feel really raw. But one of the most powerful skills you can develop as a leader (yes, it is a skill!) is vulnerability. And I don't mean just any kind of vulnerability. Today we're going to talk about what it looks like to have the right kind of vulne...

It's time to let you in behind the scenes on one of the biggest and most successful events that we've ever run in our decade of being in business! We just came off the heels of Camp Luminary. It was the first of its kind, a camp for entrepreneurial parents and the leaders they're raising to come together and to leave with a common mission and vision. A place for kids to be inspired and to really step into leadership and possibility and for parents to check out of business and to show up for thei...

Today's episode is all about becoming an entrepreneur! This episode is all about having a heart for entrepreneurship and why it can be such a powerful gift for kids of all ages. Entrepreneurship is one of the most underleveraged and underutilized opportunities for people of your generation. Everyone's mind is one-track to college (and there's nothing wrong with college) but entrepreneurship allows you to tap into a level of freedom and possibility that just isn't available on most traditional pa...

Today's episode is a more intimate one, but it's one I've felt really called to share with you. Hopefully, it makes an impact that shifts the way you live forever. Recently, I flew home to say goodbye to my loved ones, two of them. While death is always sad, it was some of the most clarifying and inspiring time I've experienced in a while. So, today is all about what legacy really means and why oftentimes, we're doing it all wrong. I'll share a little glimpse into my time at home, why it spoke t...

Another summer series episode to inspire you and your kids! Being an entrepreneurial family sets you apart from other families. Life is different for us because we see things differently. We see opportunities differently. One of the gifts we can give our kids is the vantage point of viewing the world through a different lens than other people. A lens that looks for possibility and opportunity not for lack and limitation. Today, we're talking about that from an angle of entrepreneurship for our k...
