In this episode, Kelsey explores the often misunderstood concept of working in your business versus on your business. She offers real insights and practical steps to help business owners strike the correct balance to achieve their business objectives. She starts by explaining the difference between the two, noting that working 'in' one's business involves the money-making operations. On the other hand, working 'on' a business involves strategy, planning, and improving efficiency.
However, Kelsey emphasizes that not having clear goals and an understanding of progress metrics can cause stagnation or excessive shifting in strategies. She suggests regularly auditing one's business attitudes and tasks, creating concrete goals, and realizing key markers in sales and other operations to align actions with targets. She also provides her own schedule as an example of how to effectively divide time for inside and outside business operations.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the transition from my previous recording space and diving into my forward-thinking approach for the new year. Rather than succumbing to the typical New Year's resolution trends, I share four overarching themes guiding my business strategy for 2024.
The first theme centers around a "season of simplicity," emphasizing the power of streamlining and decluttering in business. I challenge the notion of scalability strategy as a trap, drawing from personal experiences and encouraging listeners to reevaluate the true scalability of their offers. The subsequent themes touch on mastering existing endeavors before adding new ones, the importance of addressing challenging conversations instead of avoiding them, and my commitment to a "hell yes" approach in promoting only what truly excites me.
Throughout the episode, I provide tangible examples and personal anecdotes, offering valuable insights for business owners seeking clarity and focus in the coming year.

I'll be the first to tell you –investing in branding can exponentially grow your business! But if you don't build a strong foundation first, even the most amazing branding won't help you find the success you seek.
So the question is –how solid is your business foundation? Are you even ready to invest in branding? If you do invest in branding, are you going to implement the designer’s work into your online channels?
These are all questions to consider –because investing in professional branding requires time, energy and work from you. That is if you want to reach the success you see people talking about online.
The true power of success lies within you (although outsourcing and investing in service providers can absolutely give you a leg up).
And to help you out, my incredible guest is shedding some much-needed light and insight on building a strong business foundation so you’re ready to invest in growing an online business –especially when it comes to your branding!
Emy Dyer is a seasoned graphic and web designer who leverages her design solutions and strategic prowess to propel businesses to five, six, seven, and even eight-figure success. She's been a college professor, course creator, and, more recently, clothing designer!
To quote the branding Queen herself, "The energy I'm bringing in is like, stir shit up and help people succeed. That's the vibe."
And I'm here for it!
Today, we're talking all about her empire entrepreneurship journey, including the different pivots she's made, the #1 thing that leads her clients toward success, how she stays true to her values, her best advice for product-based businesses and service providers regarding their branding and website, why she prefers flat rate versus value-based pricing, and so much more!
If you're ready to get the inside scoop on Emy's journey and insights, hit that play button, and let's go!!

We all know there is immense power in community (or at least, we should –and if not, consider this your sign to learn more about it by tuning in!).
But I truly believe this power source of community stems from coming alongside other people, building connections, putting yourself out there, supporting each other, and realizing the value of taking a chance and just going for it.
You know what’s even more powerful? When your community meets in person –because the value-add of proximity amplifies all of the amazing benefits of being a part of a community!
My two guests today are prime examples of how transformative communities can be for your mindset, your business, and your life –and I am pumped for this conversation!!
Today, I am talking to Stacey Stufflebeam and Karina Baldwin. You probably remember Karina from episodes #84 and #137, but in a nutshell, she uses her background in Sport & Performance Psychology to help female Business Owners become the best version of themselves while calming the f*ck down and actually enjoying the success they are finding.
Stacey Stufflebeam has been an online yoga teacher (RYT 500/eRYT 200) for over 16 years and specializes in helping high achievers go after their dreams and find peace in the present moment.
In this double guest episode, we’re talking about the beauty of community, why in-person retreats are so transformative, how a community can support the acceleration of your business, the power of proximity, and how our 2023 Baja Business Retreat pushed Karina and Stacey out of their comfort zone and gave them the confidence to go for it and get shit done. Plus, so much more!

To grow and scale a thriving business, you 1000% have to get clear on where your business is going (and why) and how you will get there.
This means listing out what’s working, what’s not, what you love to do, what you need to do, and what you can delegate or outsource to achieve those big biz goals.
In today’s hot seat coaching episode, I’m talking to the amazing Claire, owner, and designer of Musically Minted, an online music-inspired apparel and accessories brand. Claire has accomplished so much in a short time –we’re talking doubled revenue year over year while working full-time during the first two years!!
Right now, Claire is in this beautiful chapter in her business where she needs to reevaluate a few things and get clear on what tasks move the needle forward and identify key tasks she can outsource –and then take action.
During our coaching call, we had a raw and honest conversation about what it takes to go from a small-time one-woman show to a scaling, successful growth phase of business and the steps she can take to keep growing!
Claire and I talk about the importance of knowing where your business is going (and why), how to work through the mindset challenges around reaching your business goals, the intricacies of making your first intentional hire, and why you need to clean up your systems to help support that next level of growth.
I know so many business owners will see themselves in Claire’s journey and learn from her experience and where she’s currently at in her business trajectory.
So, if you’re ready to learn how to get your ducks in a row to make your next hire a success and intentionally support your growth trajectory, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

Do you see yourself doing what you’re currently doing 10, 15, or 20 years down the road? If the answer is no, it’s time for you to make some shifts and start exploring other paths –especially if you are considering business ownership.
Because if you want to find success and the work-life balance you crave, you need to have the awareness to know who you are, what feels right (and what doesn’t), and make decisions that reflect this.
Luckily, today’s guest is giving us an inside look at her perspective and experience of making big decisions that prioritize how she wants to show up in life and in business.
I am talking to the incredible Courtney Murphy, the Co-Owner and Lead Business Educator at Revival Hair Company, who is passionate about educating fellow hairstylists on building and maintaining a successful business with a healthy work-life balance.
Courtney is joining me to talk about how she worked backward to build a business that allowed her to prioritize her family while still doing the work she loved. We’re having an honest, real conversation about what it takes to run a business after you pass that proof of concept stage, and I’m excited for it!
Get ready for a packed episode filled with tactical pieces you can use in your own business, including the mindset work necessary to grow, the value of building systems to understand how your brain works, how you do your best work, how you’re productive, and how you have the confidence in the choices that reflect your ‘why’ in business and in life.
If you’re ready to learn how you can take action to make those goals and dreams a reality, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

Do you want to know the No. 1 thing I wish every client would do before they hired me as a business coach?
It’s actually pretty simple. But it’s also overlooked and undervalued —and I want to change this narrative –because it’s SO important.
Get clear on where you’re going and why. Told you it was simple!
In today’s episode, I’m diving into this Number #1 hack (and THE most important questions) I wish every client clearly knew the answer to –before they ever reach out in my DMs or apply to work with me.
It’s a bold statement, I know!
But here’s the thing.
I LOVE being in the thick of it and supporting my clients. But sometimes, it would be better suited if business owners just sat with themselves for a while and got clear on where they want to go and why before hiring me because we would actually be able to progress so much farther together.
Inside this episode, I want to equip you with the understanding, the confidence, the clarity, and the peace to make decisions and execute on your goals and dreams –starting with where you’re going and why.
If you’re ready to hear about the power of coming together, why a supportive community is key, and the unexpected solution for clarifying where you’re going and why (with a fantastic client example), hit that play button, and let’s go!!

My secret weapon for growing my hair for the wedding:
Do you have a new offer you’re considering adding to your business?
Maybe you’re nervous to press that launch button.
Or maybe you don’t even know how to tackle the messaging, marketing, or positioning of your new offer.
I get it!
New things (especially new offers!!) can seem scary, but I promise, they don’t have to be! Tackling a new offer or new service or new business is absolutely achievable if you simply take whatever this new thing is and break it down into bite-size action steps!
To help you out here, I’m bringing on a coaching client who is moving through this exact thing.
Today, we’re having a brave and vulnerable conversion –and, let me tell you, it is PACKED with all the goodies.
I am so excited for you to meet Alisha Munz, an amazing makeup artist and newly minted body sculptor who helps women feel more confident from the inside out.
During our coaching sessions, we’re diving into what it takes to sell a new offer and to really grow your business when you have a very distinct new offer. We talk about solidifying your proof of concept, unpacking why your business exists, navigating imposter syndrome, why partnerships and referrals are a game-changer, the power of quality client onboarding processes, and so much more.
Very few business owners talk about what it’s like selling a brand new offer in the moment, and I’m so excited to have this conversation. If you’re ready, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

[7:34] Unpacking who her services are for and what their core problems are
[9:17] How to speak to the emotional side of what you’re offering
[10:30] How to integrate partnerships and other communities into your messaging
[12:14] How to engage more with aligned businesses that can refer your services
[14:00] How to tailor your website for each distinct service
[17:30] The benefits of being transparent with your clients
[19:54] Why you shouldn’t jeopardize the quality of service to accommodate more clients

Have you ever had a big decision to make in business...and you didn’t know what to do or what decision to make?
Don’t worry, we’ve all been there!! I’ve had clients experience this indecision. Heck, I’ve even experienced it myself!
Which is why I’ve created a tried and true filter system of FOUR questions to help you make those big business decisions with more confidence and more ease so you can truly step into that CEO role..
Because let me be real with you –at the end of the day, I think being a business owner is so much more than proving that people can pay you for your product or service. It’s this next level of confidence and thinking and realization that you are the true captain of the ship and that no one will come and save you. You have to save you.
But you absolutely don’t have to do it alone! And you don’t need to do it without tools in your toolkit!
To help you out, I want to walk you through 4 questions or filters to ask yourself before you make a decision. These filters will help you build your confidence so you can step into the CEO space you want to be in.
In this episode, I’m covering things like ego-based decision-making, how to know when it’s a “hell yes,” the importance of understanding whether you’re decision is short or long-term, why you need to be aware of when you’re too comfortable (and what that means), and why having a curated arsenal of people to turn to for advice is so essential. Plus, I’ll tell you what I think the biggest mindset shift is between being a business owner or entrepreneur and a CEO.
I KNOW this episode will give you the peace and confidence to know that everything you need to be a badass decision-making CEO lies within you! So hit that play button, and let’s go!

People always talk about their business success stories. And don’t get me wrong, those stories are inspiring to hear!
But what about if you build a business that’s good or even great –but there are parts you don’t love, or you want something more, or, now that you’ve made it, you want something different?
When you reach your goals, what happens when you realize you’ve changed your mind and want to try something new?
What then!?
Well, you start by taking one step at a time. Because your business journey is what you make of it. The best part? It can grow and evolve right alongside you!! And that’s a beautiful thing.
Today’s guest is well-versed in the evolution of business, and I am so excited for you to hear his story! Jay Curry is an entrepreneur, an artist, AND my wedding DJ. Jay has been DJing weddings in the PNW for over 10 years, and he’s been a dear friend of mine for almost as long. Jay has completely evolved since I’ve known him –and we’re talking all about it!
In our conversation, Jay and I chat about taking messy action, leaning into what you’re good at, learning from what didn’t work, changing your mind, cultivating your passion, exploring things that bring you joy, how to build your own path toward the end results you want, why adjusting your business (or changing the industry you’re in) is completely okay and so much more.

Friends, I got married!! And I’m so freakin’ pumped about it. It was fun, it was beautiful.
And, as with practically every wedding, things went wrong.
But instead of belaboring the point about what went wrong, I will talk about the FIVE business lessons I learned from my wedding.
I believe these lessons are 100% relevant and useful for you as you move forward as the boss of your life and your business.
This conversation is a living, breathing example of how you are in control of the controllables. I talk about why showing up is so important, how to prioritize things better, why you need to make space for creativity, why rest isn’t selfish and so much more.
Oh yeah, and I am doing a little recap with yummy wedding deets!
I hope that you find relatable lessons in this episode and, ideally, learn some things that you could plug into your business, too.

Work with Kelsey:
Ready for your next big pivot? Maybe it’s launching that new side hustle or growing your existing business, whatever the chapter Kelsey’s here to help you bridge the gap between new ideas and achieving your goals!
When it comes to the business back end, too many people think having a perfect system in place will cure their business woes.
Here’s the caveat: you first need to find a system that works for YOU and your business!
You can have the best-looking, tech-savvy system out there, but if you don’t even use it or if you get so overwhelmed that it hinders your flow, it’s just not going to work.
And we’re talking about it!
In today’s coaching conversation, I am talking to Mental Performance Coach and Retreat Host, Karina Baldwin! Karina has created a business dedicated to helping female CEOs overcome mental barriers, achieve their goals, and improve their mental performance using psychology-based techniques.

At the core of every business decision is your why.
Unearthing your why is the key to success, but honestly, business owners don’t do it often enough!
Why?! Because it’s not sexy. It’s not this crazy hack or shortcut to those big income months. It’s deep work.
Unearthing your why is also very important in laying the foundation for your business and the
decisions you’re making for your business.
Including your next launch!
Yup, we’re back on the launch train, and I’m talking all about launching –and more specifically, why are you launching?
In this episode, I will equip you with four specific questions that you should be able to ask and answer with complete confidence before you go out there and launch.
I don’t care if you’re promoting an event, a podcast, a new offer, a course –whatever the thing is– before you go into the world and put it out there, four specific questions need to be addressed BEFORE you launch...that is if you’re ready to reach your biz goals and find the success you crave.
Seriously, this episode is a firehose of information that will definitely help your business, so hit that play button, and let’s go!!

Are you pivoting right now…or thinking about pivoting in your business?
All businesses undergo evolutions, and pivoting is a challenging-- but beautiful part of the process! But before you pivot, it’s essentially to look within first.
When you’re aware of what’s going on internally, and you create a space to think and plan out the next steps you need to take in your business –you’re already WAY ahead of the curve! And your pivot is much more likely to align with what you believe in and where you want to go.
Because there is no right way to do business. The best way to run YOUR business depends entirely on who you are, how you function, and what your core values are.
If you like what I’m putting out, you will absolutely LOVE my guest today because she speaks on and supports clients to do just this!
Today, I am talking to the incredible and high-achieving Dr. Jennifer Blossom, a highly-rated mental health and peak performance keynote speaker who uses a unique blend of neuroscience, high-caliber performance, and inner peace to help high achievers and high-achieving organizations move through internal transformation and generate new levels of success and impact- without the emotional overwhelm, stress, or burnout.
Dr. Jennifer Blossom has a top-rated podcast and has been featured on Fox News, CW, The Connect Network, and multiple podcast and radio stations. She’s here to give us some incredible insight into pivoting your business and moving into a space of alignment and transformation so you feel confident in your decision.
I am so excited for you to hear our conversation about Jennifer’s career, the different changes she’s gone through in her business trajectory, how to serve your people in the best way (even if that means adjusting your offers), why shifting your business takes time and consistency to see results, how to adjust your brand and messaging to speak to a new target audience, and so much more!
If you want validation that you’re absolutely not alone in your journey and that pivots can be beautiful and necessary and in alignment with YOU –then this episode is for you!
After listening to this conversation, I hope you have the confidence, courage, and know-how to make those shifts and pivots and do it for the right reason. So hit that play button, and let’s go!!

When life gives you lemons, do you make lemonade? Or do you let them sit in a fruit bowl until they go all hard and inedible?
What I’m trying to say is –do you jump on opportunities when they come up? Or do you let them pass you by?
I can tell you right now that today’s guest not only started making lemonade when life gave her lemons, but she’s on her way to building a new lemonade stand, too!
Okay, okay… I’ll stop with the lemon analogy!
The thing is, so many entrepreneurs out there talk about starting a business or how they went from 6 to 7 figures. And while that’s great to hear, what we really want to know is what you did when you were literally in the thick of running a thriving business with a busy personal life, and an opportunity you couldn’t pass up came a-knockin’?
Because being a successful leader and an entrepreneur is having confidence in your choices. If it feels right, you just have to go for it, right?!
Well, that’s what my guest, Salena Osbourne, has done!
Not only is Salena the seasoned owner of Wild Whimsy Plant Co. and mother of three, but she’s off on a new venture that includes a retail space and a new partnership! So Salena is literally back in that infancy stage of starting a business, and we’re talking ALL about it!
In this episode, Salena and I deep dive into what it’s like pivoting in business, how to make adjustments and changes as life throws opportunities your way, how to adjust your mindset to deal with imposter syndrome, the importance of finding aligned partnerships, building a business that genuinely fosters community, and so much more!
If you’re ready to open the door and embrace opportunities that come your way with confidence and resilience, hit that play button, and let’s go!!

I probably don’t need to tell you this, but business is not always rainbows and butterflies. And entrepreneurship can be hard af some days.
But if you truly love your business and what you do, that in and of itself can help pull you through those hard seasons. Because here’s the thing: entrepreneurship truly is a choice. We all choose to have this crazy life –and it is tough to do all the things if you don’t love or fall out of love with your business.
When you’re passionate about your business and what you’re doing, people will see it and feed off it. And that’s powerful, friends.
Today’s guest knows this, and over the years, he’s used his insatiable passion to grow and scale a business that he LOVES. And he’s telling us all about it!!
Matt Miera is an ‘02 WSU grad (Go Cougs!) and the owner and operator of the world-famous Marco Polo Bar and Grill in Georgetown –aka THE WSU Coug bar on the west side of Seattle.
Matt has been doing his thing since 2006 when he took over ownership of Marco Polo Bar & Grill (a 73-year-old tavern, btw!), and he’s sharing all the lessons, pivots, and decisions he’s made along the way!
We talk about how tough the bar and restaurant industry is, the benefits of seeing everything as an opportunity, why nontraditional marketing methods still work, and why being a resilient and adaptable business owner matters. Plus, Matt shares stories on the power of community, collaboration, and brand recognition.
Friends, I am PUMPED for you to hear Matt speak! He’s truly charismatic, and you can hear the passion and love in his voice when he talks about Marco Polo Bar & Grill.
Did I mention Matt’s also a marketing wizard, and he’s filled with great advice and insights on how to run a successful business and love (almost) every minute of it!?!

Where is your time and energy going within your business? Are you in the season of simplicity or complexity? Do you feel at peace with where your business is at (and what your role looks like in it)?
Big questions, right? And not so easy to answer. At least they weren’t for me until relatively recently when I had to force myself to step back and honor the fact that I needed time and space to focus on myself.
Don’t get me wrong, I loooooovee to work in and on my business. I love my clients, I love people, and I love teaching.
But honestly, because I love it all and want to do it all, I have experienced burnout multiple times. The most recent one being…well, verrry recent.
Given the literal title of the entire podcast show (hint: the Get Shit Done Podcast), this episode might seem a little counterintuitive.
Because instead of getting shit done, I am encouraging you to do less in your business!
I know, hilarious, right!?
But really, this is super important. And I’m talking alllll about it, friends!
Not only am I deep diving into how to do less, but I am also walking you through how to find rhythm and balance in your business, the importance of creating systems that reflect how (and when) you work best, why you need to pause and edit your to-do list, and why growing bigger comes with bigger responsibility.
Oh, and of course, I’m talking about why simplicity is the key to scaling a successful business, what steps I’ve taken to feel at peace in my own season of simplicity –and how you can, too!

Do you have a mile-long to-do list? Do you know there are things you should do in your business but don’t know where to start?
Ooooh yeah! I’ve been there, friends. And my guess is that you –like me!!-- don’t understand what it takes to be a CEO.
I genuinely think most business owners struggle with this. I certainly did NOT understand what it took to be a CEO and truly step into that leadership role. (Hint: I do now!)
So if you have big dreams and aspirations of taking your business to the next level, whether that’s growing your team, getting more visible, or opening multiple locations —then this episode is for you!!
I’m diving into the 4 step breakdown of how to get you into a CEO mindset. We’re talking about the importance of defining what success looks like to you, why you need to cut out that external noise, centering in on your why, and so much more!!
My intention is to help equip you to step into that strong CEO leadership mindset and develop a strategy that supports you in reaching those goals!
This is seriously game-changing and such a vital piece of the puzzle if you want to become the leader you were meant to be!
So if you’re ready to embody the CEO mindset as a business owner, click that play button and let’s go!!

There’s a lot of great support around how to start a business. Everyone (especially coaches and educators) talks about this topic, and most give some great advice!
But no one hears the nuts and bolts of how to get started. Or how to build that ladder when you’re still on an existing ladder. Or how to create a business that’s sustainable for your lifestyle. Or how to navigate your business (or build a new one) after becoming a new mother!
Well, we’re talking about it now. The conversation is here – and I’m having it with an incredible business owner and mama who is mid-pivot into a new industry and business model that makes sense for her new lifestyle.
Today I am talking to my dear friend, past client, and fellow badass, Sarah Anne Thompson. Sarah is a Seattle-based luxury wedding photographer turned Podcaster who believes in giving a damn in both life and business –and folks, she is in the midst of building an empire!
And we’re here for it!
I’m so freakin’ excited for you to listen to our conversation about what it takes to build a sustainable business, the intricacies of handling motherhood as a business owner, and how you can break down your goals into smaller steps so you can grow and scale a business that aligns with you as a person.
Plus, we’re deep diving into how you can successfully pivot into new industries and business models that make sense for you!

Have you ever run a race without a finish line?
My guess is probably not.
Well, what if I told you that running a business without a designated CEO day is the same as running that race-without-a-finish-line analogy?
Having a weekly CEO day where you work on your business instead of in is seriously game-changing. And I’m telling you ALLLL about it in today’s episode!
Yep! I’m talking about one of my favorite subjects in the world…CEO days!
If you’re thinking, Um, Kelsey, what the heck is a CEO day, and why does it even matter for my business –you need to stop what you’re doing right now and tune in! Because I’m answering both of those questions and more!
Why?
Because CEO days are something Every. Single. Business. Owner. should have in their calendar –preferably weekly. Ask all my clients what one of the first things we do is: we implement a CEO day into their schedule if they don’t already have one in place.
Not only are CEO days invaluable, but they help you reach those big business goals --oh, and they’re THE key ingredient you need to live the life of your dreams.
I’m not even exaggerating here, friends.
If you want to grow your business, if you want to open a new location, if you want to grow your team and expand beyond a one-person show, you need to embrace the CEO day.
Have I convinced you yet?
Tap that play button to learn why CEO days will catapult your business and help you reach those big goals and dreams. Let’s go!!!

Molly Nutt, owner of Acorn Digital Strategy NW and co-founder of CEO Society Seattle, talks about her journey of quitting her corporate job and taking her passion for copywriting full-time. Molly has grown her copywriting agency to a full-time 6-figure business that helps other business owners build out their website copy, social copy, and brand voice!
In this episode, Molly talks with Kelsey about how she has scaled both her team and clientele. Kelsey dives into how important it is to delegate and spend less time on things that will not help scale you toward your larger goal. Molly has done this by fully training her assistant and her team. Molly is working towards working less IN the business and more ON the business.
Tune in and learn more about how Kelsey advises Molly towards a better plan for time management and scaling her business.

Have you ever bought a course? Chances are you probably have.
Maybe you thought investing in a specific course would save your business, give you the exact tool to multiply your income or help you learn that secret skill that will skyrocket your client roster.
Sound familiar?!
But did you feel pressured to finish a course –even when it no longer serves you? Or did a course ever fall short of your expectations?
Have you ever considered that courses might hinder your progress and prevent you from taking your business where it needs to go?
And more importantly, is there a better way to move the needle forward in your business?
My opinion is, yes! Courses are certainly great options, but I don’t believe they are the end-all-be-all –and I’ll explain exactly why I think so in this episode!
Tune in to learn why I bought specific courses and, more interestingly, when I stopped buying courses (and why). I’ll also explain when it makes sense to buy a course, when it doesn’t, and why courses aren’t the only way to learn how to run a business!!
Oh, did I mention that I’ll be sharing the 3 types of support to invest in (that aren’t courses) and what I do now to learn new skills and uplevel my business?!
This episode is seriously one for the books because I see too many business owners struggling over this topic and we need to have a conversation about it!
So if you’ve even been convinced to buy a course, been disappointed by a course, or haven’t even started a course you’ve bought –you definitely don’t want to miss this episode!

Launching is a multi-layered conversation that needs to happen. And here we are!!
Because here’s the thing: not every launch will go according to plan.
Hey, it happens! But now, what do you do?
You might need to look at what did and didn’t work in your launch. You might even need to work on your mindset before going into your next launch (pssstttt….these are topics from previous episodes, so be sure to check those out!)
Or maybe you made one, two, three or more mistakes (like every business owner does!) in your launch.
But what happens after the mistake is made? How do you fix it? What are your next steps to turn things around?
In today’s episode, I am answering all of those questions and more!!
So buckle up, folks, because we’re deep diving on how to respond, how to react, and what to do if you’re in a scenario where you’ve launched or put something out there and things just didn’t quite go as planned.
More specifically, I’m giving you 4 steps to help you navigate a failed launch and how to create a successful launch plan moving forward.
Expect real-life examples of launch mistakes (from yours truly), lessons learned, and so much more!

Are you overloaded with all the strategic elements of running a business? Are you handling all of the backend work AND showing up on coaching calls AND marketing your business AND everything else it takes to run a successful business?
If you just nodded along, you might need a little support with your systems (or system implementation!) so you can stop spending time on tasks that don’t move the needle forward and start focusing on the parts of your business that light you up and bring in that money, honey.
Where do you even start with systems and processes and –dare I say it– outsourcing tasks?
Well, I’ve got the answers (and the reasoning behind the answers) for you in today’s episode!
So buckle up –because we’re going to have some FUN!
I’m talking to the super amazing Sam Whisnant, a Biochemistry grad turned Online Business Manager (OBM) who has worked with over 45+ clients and built a six-figure business by helping business owners get the right systems in place so they can organize and automate their businesses, hire and onboard the first team member with ease, and stay focused in their zone of genius as much as possible.
Sounds ideal, right?!
Sam is on the Get Shit Done Podcast to tell us all about the benefits of outsourcing tasks to Virtual Assistants (VAs) and OBMs, when to know its time to outsource, why you need to figure out what your money-making activities are before you hire a team member, why systems are so powerful, and the power of taking consistent action to achieve your goals. Plus so much more!!

How can you be the most successful entrepreneur in your respective industry?
Energy, hard work, and strategy are definitely a great start!!
But to truly succeed and thrive, you need to identify with the entrepreneurial mindset. That means doing the dang thing, failing, learning from it, pivoting, and swinging that bat until you hit GOLD!!
Oh, and don’t forget the power behind a community and building real relationships!! Because that’s key, too.
Our amazing guest today is giving us all the goods on business, community, the entrepreneurial life and I can’t WAIT for you to hear this conversation!

Bri is the founder of The Women of Sacramento, a networking community for local women business owners, creative entrepreneurs, and ambitious leaders and she’s also a business mentor helping new entrepreneurs grow their online presence and build businesses that align with their values and mission.
We’re chatting about everything from how she was handed the reigns of a sizeable in-person community (and how she’s grown it exponentially since!), her background as a serial entrepreneur, the power of community, how to be a leader, why intentional relationships are essential, and why YOU are responsible for your own success as an entrepreneur.

Have you ever looked for something specific to help you build the business of your dreams but couldn’t find what you were looking for?! What did you do?
Most entrepreneurs and business owners might keep looking, give up, or pivot to find another solution. But some women, like my incredible guest today, took matters into her own hands!!
When she couldn’t find what she needed, she BUILT it instead. And she did it with the confidence of knowing that she knew her business better than anyone –which helped her stick to her guns and align her biz decisions with her “why” and her values.
Today, I am talking to the incredible Inbal Claudio, founder and mastermind behind the heart-centered online community, Like Minded Collective which is a FREE social networking platform for dreamers, creators, and female founders.
Inbal is not only my friend, but she’s a mom of 2, and an amazing entrepreneur with a wild story! From candle maker to tech founder, Inbal’s ultimate passion is empowering women entrepreneurs and ensuring that every female founder knows how incredible they are, no matter what stage of business they are in.
Today, Inbal shares her entrepreneurial journey, including how she started a candle-making business and why it led her to build an online community where female business entrepreneurs can connect, grow, and build sustainable businesses together.
We talk about following your gut, the importance of being vulnerable, mindset shifts, how to find your business besties, the power of referrals, and taking action, even when you feel stuck.
Inbal’s story highlights the power of asking, the importance of community, finding your people, and just going for it!

The entrepreneurship journey is wild, friends.
So wild that after so many years in business and many, many pivots later, I am still moving through and navigating NEW mindset shifts. Mindset shifts that, honestly, I just did not see coming.
And if I didn’t see them coming, I’ll bet many of you won’t either.
So to save you from the surprise and overwhelm that can happen (like it did to me!), I want to talk about it. I want to share what I’ve learned from my experiences with real-life, tangible examples.
I am SO pumped to share the 5 mindset shifts that I have had to navigate –and that I didn't expect–but have completely transformed my business and my life.
This message is so important. I can’t stress this enough. I ask that you come into this conversation open-minded because there will be quite a bit of tough love sprinkled in.
But also know that I am willingly calling myself out in this episode. And I’m calling you out.
I’m getting transparent, I’m getting vulnerable. Because I truly believe that you need to hear this. You need to ask yourself the tough questions so you can build that dream business and life you crave.
Get ready! These five mindset shifts have everything to do with patience, self-awareness, and self-care. And I know you will find tons of value in today’s episode!

We all have different goals (in biz and life), and we all have different versions of what success looks like. But if we want to reach our goals and achieve the success we crave –we first need to master our mindset.
As my guest today says, “You can have the best strategy in the world. But if your mindset is garbage, it won’t matter.”
Wait, Kelsey, how can we adjust and reframe and rewire our mindset, so we aren’t holding ourselves back from success??
I’m so glad you asked!
Getting the support you need can be a huge factor in mastering your mindset and, thus, your success! The right kind of support can help you gain awareness around what’s holding you back and develop a game plan tailored to you and your goals!
Luckily for you, my guest today is a HUGE support for her clients, and she has gotten some seriously incredible (and tangible!) results for herself and her high-performing clients.
Today I am talking to the uber-talented Elizabeth Louis, an Execute Performance Coach for high-performers, professional athletes, corporate, private, & small business powerhouses, and innovation-driven entrepreneurs.
Elizabeth also specializes in performance, trauma, & crisis therapy, group psychoeducation, and mental health coaching, where she helps clients develop a champion mindset, improve self-esteem, fine-tune goals, shift perspectives, overcome traumas, face fear, achieve success, gain mental freedom, and more.
Not only does Elizabeth have the psychology and counseling graduate degrees to inform her work, but she’s literally been in the trenches of trauma herself and truly understands what her clients are going through.
And let me tell you, as a coach myself, I’ll verify that when you can relate to your clients, you can better help them achieve success and be a more effective coach.
So, if you’re ready to optimize your mindset, your business, and your life –this conversation is for you.
In this episode, you’ll get supported, encouraged, educated, and even get some tough love on reaching your highest potential and, ultimately, success! So press that play button, and let’s go!!

Let’s be real here. Marketing is a huge part of running a business. Specifically, a successful and thriving business.
Am I right, or am I right?
Marketing truly drives everything. You can have the most beautiful, perfect offer you’ve spent forever creating, but if you don’t have the right audience ready to buy it, it doesn’t really matter.
But with marketing comes strategy. When you’re strategic with your marketing, you can build a strong foundation for your business that will allow you to pursue your dreams regardless of your timeline and circumstances!
And marketing –specifically a marketing strategy– can do that for you!
Have I intrigued you yet?!
If you’re ready to hear more about the importance of marketing and how it can help you build the business of your dreams-- then this episode (and this guest) is for you!
Today I am talking to the incredible Suzy Crawford, mom of 3, ex-marketing executive (of a big-name tech company you definitely know), and now, a super successful entrepreneur and business coach who knows marketing strategies like the back of her hand!
Not only does Suzy have 14 years of marketing industry experience (and an MBA from UCLA!), but she started her own marketing agency and built it to 6 figures in less than 90 days, all while working a demanding exec job and raising a family.
So when Suzy says she’s built a program that focuses on helping service providers (SMMs, VAs, and freelancers) build a 6 figure business and work LESS –you better believe she knows exactly what she’s doing!!
Suzy is sharing all her best marketing tips on niching down, target audiences, pivoting, paid ads, organic marketing, outsourcing, boundaries, selling the transformation –even motherhood, entrepreneurship, and how she built a 6 figure business in 90 days.
Do I really need to say more? You all are in for a treat, so hit that play button to hear all the marketing tips and knowledge you didn’t know you needed, and let’s go!!!

Money has a STRONG hold on us humans. Let’s just face the facts. We like, need, want [insert your verb of choice] the dollar dollar bills, y’all.
Unfortunately, our mindset around money and finances is often warped from situations and issues that stem from childhood.
And when you add that extra layer of being a business owner and making investment and financial decisions, things get wild inside our decision-making brain.
So how, as business owners, CEOs, or entrepreneurs, can we shift our money mindset to bridge the financial gap and set our businesses (and lives) up for financial success?
Well, today’s your lucky day because my amazing guest helps her clients do just that!!
In this episode, I am talking to Laura Hearn, MBA, military spouse, mother, financial planning specialist, and business coach for women. Laura is super passionate about breaking through a lot of the mental barriers that prevent us from heading where we want to go in business in life.
I’m so pumped for today’s conversation because Laura and I are going to dive deeper into why money mindset matters, reasons why you’re (probably) struggling with it, what blocks are showing up for you when it comes to your financial situation –PLUS, how to overcome them.
We also talk about unorganized chaos, self-actualization, the positive impacts of COVID –yep, we go there– and why showing up in the suck (aka bad times) will have longer dividends in your business than not showing up at all.

I have something exciting to share! Your girl is ENGAGED!!!
I am over the moon about it. And YES, I am absolutely going to tell you the story of how we got engaged after 10 years of being together.
But I am ALSO going to explain how my engagement (and the wedding planning that comes with it) ties into business plus the three business lessons I’ve learned from being a new bride-to-be.
Because, like most of you, I’m a business owner. And this is a big life shift that is directly impacting my business, and I want to talk about how I’m navigating it.
Why am I sharing this, you might ask?
Because I searched high and low for content that would help a business owner plan a wedding, but there is nothing out there!! So, as many entrepreneurs do, I decided to create it myself!
You’re welcome!
In today’s episode, we’re going to really lean into how we, as business owners, can honor personal pivots while still maintaining a sustainable business. I’m giving some general (but good) advice on how to pivot gracefully and sharing how I’m strategizing next year’s business plans. I’ll also give you my three key business lessons learned from planning a big ol’ wedding and how I’m implementing these strategies into my business moving forward.
I think you’re going to get so much value from this episode (plus who doesn’t love a super cute engagement story?!), so hit that play button and let’s gooo!!

How can you embrace your next pivot? Because, to be honest, we don’t always have control over every circumstance we find ourselves in.
BUT! The good news is: all experiences have a purpose –whether they’re good, bad, planned, or unexpected.
And the true magic happens when we can find the common thread between these experiences, learn from them, and use them in our lives and business moving forward.
THIS is what will help you pivot with more ease and less fear.
Because here’s the thing: business owners aren’t willing to pivot enough.
Why? Because it’s scary. And I get that!
The fear of failure and the possibility of having an identity crisis after pivoting (or during!) is REAL.
But today’s guest has pivoted. She’s pivoted through failures AND success –-and she’s pivoted fearlessly time and again. And now she helps people do the same using simple tools like self-reflection and self-awareness (plus a few others that we’ll talk about, too!!)
Ameé Quiriconi is the Founder of Activity Girl, LLC, a private coaching and consulting practice that helps entrepreneurs, leaders, and organizations with leadership, business, and human resources challenges. She’s also a podcast host for two shows AND a best-selling author (of not 1 but 2 books)!
Not only is Ameé an expert in the wedding venue world (you bet we talk about this), but she nows so much about leadership mindset and development, human resources, how to fearlessly pivot in life and in business, how to become an expert in something, and how all these things intersect and help us be successful in our industry and our personal lives.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, so hit that play button and let’s go!!!

And luckily, my guest today is THE expert on sales, business development, and business growth. The best part? He knows how to make sales and business development relatable and human.

Not only is Donnie one of the leading global minds on sales, business development, and business growth, but he’s also a community builder that helps small business owners leverage sales and business development to grow and then scale their businesses.
In today’s episode, Donnie and I are talking about business development and business growth from a super unique perspective. Plus, Donnie tells us what it takes to build a successful community and how you can turn that community into a business –if you’re interested!!
Did I mention we’re also talking about chickens?!

I have a serious question (or two) for you:
Are you putting yourself first? Are you prioritizing...YOU!?
My personal experience –in addition to coaching my clients through their experiences– has shown me first hand how putting yourself first results in positive effects on your health, in your personal life, and in your business!!
And who doesn’t want that?
If you’re burning the candle at both ends, you’re booking a one-way ticket to burnout. But if you’re ready to start prioritizing yourself by changing how you live your life and approach your habits, then do I have a challenge (and episode!) for you.
And it has everything to do with the fact that… I’m doing 75 Hard Challenge again!!
Yep, you read that right. And we’re going to talk ALL about ALL of it.
Even better, we’re going to learn from my experience because I’ve already got some life lessons and business lessons for you –and I’m only on Day 16.
Now, if you don’t know what 75 Hard is and/or want to hear about how the first round went, check out episode 76 for my past experience.
THIS episode is all about the mindset shifts I’ve had to make and the intentions I’ve set to make sure Round #2 is successful and, more importantly, sustainable!
Not only am I explaining why I am doing 75 Hard Challenge (AGAIN!) and the new lessons learned from this go around, but I am also sharing how to make lifestyle changes stick, why incremental shifts will get you closer to reaching your goals, and how to be a better business leader (and better entrepreneur, in general).
I’m getting vulnerable, I’m getting passionate, and I am telling you all about how 75 Hard has rocked my business and affected my personal development. I know my lessons learned and takeaways will be super helpful for you, so hit that play button for some serious value and let’s gooo!!

When you first start your business, the word on the street is to niche down. But how many of us actually listen to and apply this tip of “niching down”??
Not enough of us!
Whether you want to work with women service providers or energetic business coaches, or maybe you want to offer website copywriting services or Dubsado setups and nothing else, there is a unique niche for every single one of us.
And here’s the thing – your niche is a key player in growing a successful and authentic business! Why?

And guess what? Niching down isn’t just for new business owners. It’s also for the six- and seven-figure business owners looking to pivot, plus every other business owner in between!!
Your niche is a BIG deal, so instead of overlooking it, let’s embrace it!
And if you don’t believe me, believe today’s guest EXPERT in all things niche/niches, Gabrielle Laura!
Gabrielle is a Niche Expert + Personal Brand Coach who helps CEOs find their niche, communicate their value, and find alignment in their businesses again. Gabrielle is ALL about owning who you are and what you bring to the table so that you can live out your soul’s purpose, and she helps women all over the world find their niche and realign their businesses.
Today’s conversation goes beyond just what having a niche means, why you should niche down, and why it matters if you want a successful business. You’ll get tips and advice on finding your niche and working through it so you can grow and scale your business in a way that feels authentic to you!

Every entrepreneur’s journey looks different.
I mean, helloooo, I was a hair salon owner turned business coach. And I’m sure your intro is as fun as mine…
But have you ever labeled yourself an “accidental entrepreneur”?
And have you ever enlisted your kids to help you build a thriving business that supports your family’s lifestyle –and subsequently taught your children to be young entrepreneurs themselves?
Today’s guest has ticked both of those boxes in her journey from a side hustler turned mom entrepreneur turned multiple business owner –and she is on the show today to share ALL the goodies with us.
Renee Harris is a Northern Californian mom of NINE, teacher, lotion maker, and owner of multiple businesses. When a personal skincare issue led to a thriving business, Renee hit the ground running and learned all she needed to make her business a success!
And now she’s teaching the next generation all she knows.
Renee is sharing her experience becoming an accidental entrepreneur, why her email list has been her bread and butter, and the importance of relationship building for biz.
She’s also giving us the deets on parenting young entrepreneurs, how she involves her children in the business, and why she and her husband are passionate about nurturing their children’s budding entrepreneurial spirit and are teaching other parents to do the same!
Tune in to hear an honest conversation on entrepreneurship, maybe some (jk, a LOT of) parenting stuff, and ultimately, how to chase after your dreams!!

How do you get your people to react emotionally to your message, so they take action?
How do you know if you’re saying something wrong or you’re saying it to the wrong people?
How can you make your story stand out from the crowd and connect with your people all at the same time?
If you’ve ever asked yourself (or someone else) these questions, know you’re not alone!!
ALL entrepreneurs pose these questions at some point in their journey. Why? Because talking to your audience and getting them to invest in your offers is the core part of running a successful business that helps you help your people.

I’ll take a wild guess that you know where you want to go and what you need to do to get there –but you’re just not taking action and doing the dang thing.
Whether it’s working out, journaling, marketing your business, or something else entirely, you’re probably avoiding doing the main thing that will move the needle forward in your life or your biz.
But WHY do we do this to ourselves?!
Um, because we’re human. But fun fact: even humans can take back control of their lives!!
Because here’s the truth –YOU are the one steering the ship of where you’re going. You’re the pilot. So YOU get to dictate where you’re going to end up.
The key is learning how to take control of yourself so you can get there!
And today’s guest helps his clients do just that!!
In this episode, I am talking to the amazingly knowledgeable and inspiring Blaine Oelkers.
Blaine is a TEDx Speaker, America’s only Chief Results Officer®, and he is a leading authority in personal implementation and consistency. He is powered by Selfluence, a personal development, and training company that helps people take control of their lives by taking control of themselves.
Did I mention that Blaine is a habit master with documented streaks of 1485 days in a row and counting!?!
Blaine and I talk about everything from willpower and Powerball lotteries to influencing yourself and being a seeker of knowledge.
This episode is FULL of takeaways and lessons you can start implementing TODAY so you can actually reach your goals.

Who do you want to be? Who do you want to show up as? What do you want to accomplish as a business owner and as a human living in this thing we call “life”?
Because here’s the truth, friends:
If you’re hustling SO hard that you can’t catch a breath because you’re literally drowning in tasks and to-do lists, then I’ll take a wild guess that you’re not showing up as your best and brightest self.
And. We. Don’t. Want. That.
Instead of breakdown and burnout, why not take steps to turn your ship around and redefine who you are and what you want from your business…and your life?!
Today’s guest has juggled ALL the balls (and dropped some, too), so she knows exactly what it’s like to reach her breaking point, and she’s determined to help others avoid it altogether or get through it if they’ve reached it themselves.
Mickey Anderson is a military wife, mother, agency owner, marketing strategist, and conversion copywriter – and after an extra crispy burnout, Mickey quickly transformed her business and how she operates and now educates, coaches, and speaks across the country, helping small business owners and entrepreneurs hustle less and profit more.
Mickey takes a refreshingly disruptive approach to the hustle culture, and I am HERE for it!
Because it’s beyond time for everyone to pay attention and accept that to “make it in business,” you do NOT need to experience burnout, overwhelm, and exhaustion as a business owner.
I am so excited for you to hear our awesome, honest conversation about this whole work-life balance concept, how to juggle all the things, and ultimately how to talk about your business in a way that feels genuine to you.
It’s a super valuable episode, so hit that play button, and let’s go!!!

What do you love to do? Is it hair? Is it yoga? Is it knitting? Is it travel?
What if I told you that you can absolutely build a successful business doing things that you love?
However, there is a caveat!!
To achieve this in your biz journey, you might need to pivot, transition…or dare I say, QUIT something to get there?!
But guess what?! I did it, my clients do it, and our guest today has done it, too!
Today I am talking to the inspiring Karina Baldwin. Karina is a Yoga Teacher, Retreat Host, and Mental Performance Coach who has been hosting retreats all over North America since quitting a job that no longer served her.
Karina is on the show to debunk this myth that quitting equals failure (spoiler: it doesn’t!) and that you have the power to create the life you want.
Consider this episode your permission slip to get out of your comfort zone because you’re worth it. And, honestly, there’s just something about being comfortable that actually limits you from your potential.
I am so excited for you to hear her story, her business journey, and her heart for what she does inside her yoga retreat business.
ANDDDD….if you didn’t already know, Karina and I are collaborating on a business retreat in March 2023, so check it out and sign up! Because we are PUMPED for it, you definitely don’t want to miss it.

Well, if your big dreams involve building a business, I –and many other biz owners– can confirm that it takes a lot of time, energy, and commitment.

Luckily, my guest today knows ALL about what it takes to make your dreams a reality.

As biz owners and entrepreneurs, we wear a lot of different hats when it comes to starting, scaling, and growing a business.
Am I right?!!
But if we truly want to be effective leaders, the key is to become accountable –or, as today’s guest likes to say, you need to become Count-On-Able™.
When you become Count-On-Able™ and embrace accountability, you can unlock enormous shifts in your life and your business.
Sounds good to me!!
Today’s guest is Jeff Cohen, a seasoned Executive with 20+ years as CEO. He’s a business coach, author, and has extensive experience starting and scaling not one, not two, but SIX companies.
Jeff is on the show to talk about his triumphs, but more importantly, his failures as he grew multiple businesses over the past two decades. Jeff is super passionate about bringing entrepreneurial freedom to the world, and he is chock FULL of information, stories and insight on all this business –and he’s sharing all of it with us today!
I have to say, this might be a business podcast, but what Jeff shares in this episode will absolutely help your relationships, too!

Here’s the truth: every single day that goes by as an entrepreneur, you’re basically putting down a deposit towards the future YOU (and the future of your biz).
So every day counts.
And if you want to grow your business, you need to set aside days where you can actually plan out a strategy that will help you grow sustainably.
But if you’re busy every day and constantly bombarded with the service and product side of your business –-you’re never going to have the time to create goals and develop a strategy that will move you forward and allow you to step into that future version of YOU.
Sooo…what can you do about this!?
Say helloooooo to CEO days.
Let’s be real here. CEO days are a key element in running a successful business –no matter what kind of business you have!!
During your CEO days, not only are you able to flex those personal development, self-awareness, and leadership muscles, but you have a day to invest in becoming a better version of yourself!!
And this is only the beginning of what CEO days can do for you and your biz.
CEO days are literally the best thing since mocha iced lattes and I KNOW you’re going to get so much from this episode –so press that play button (or watch this episode on video for the first time EVER) and let’s get to it!!!

Have you ever wondered how expats become….well, expats?!
There are thousands (if not millions) of expats worldwide, but what did their journey look like, and how are they adapting to living in a different culture?!
Because, let’s face it, living outside of your home country can be a massive challenge, but it can also lead to massive rewards. Like, say, starting an incredible spirits company?!?
Yep!
My guest today is on the show to share his experience of living in a totally different world and how (and why) he started a business that celebrates the local indigenous beverage culture!!
Christopher Pellegrini is a Vermont transplant who has been living in Tokyo, Japan, longer than he’s lived in the US –and LOVING it! He’s also the founder of Honkaku Spirits, published author, and host of the super niche (but super awesome) The Japan Distilled Podcast.
I mean, what doesn’t he do, right?
Of all the endeavors that he’s done, Chris is most keen on sharing his passion for indigenous spirits (particularly Japanese Whiskey) with the world.
Did I mention that he’s sharing his lessons learned, insights, and business tips with us today, too?!
This conversation is so insightful and honestly, it took a direction I was not expecting, but SO happy it did, and I can’t wait for you to hear it! Let’s go!!!

Do you have a romantic notion of what the entrepreneurial journey looks like?
I know I sure did when I first started my biz!!
And I’ll be the first to tell you that running a business (plus all the moving pieces that come with it) is never what you expect it to be.
There are SO many shifts and evolutions that you’re going to move through on your biz journey –some will be beautiful and intuitive, and some with be just plain hard.
But as a fellow business owner, I can tell you that it is 100% worth it!!
And my guest today would absolutely agree with me!!
In this episode, I am talking to Lindsay Hanson, fellow business coach, social media manager, and host of the Quit Your Job, Sis! podcast! After experiencing a quarter-life crisis, Lindsay pivoted her life, chased after her dreams, and started a business that encourages others to do the same!
Lindsay has first-hand experience of what the evolution of running a business looks like, and she’s sharing ALL her insight and knowledge with us!
This is truly an awesome conversation, and I know there are women out there that need to hear what Lindsay has to say, so tap that play button and let’s go!!!

Authenticity is powerful. Being real is impactful. Identifying your purpose and living by your core values can feed the soul and empower those around you.
Let’s be honest, when you’re scrolling through social media, there’s a reason we’re drawn to realness and things we can relate to, things that make us feel connected.
But here’s the thing: not everybody is willing to go there and address their true authenticity.
As business owners, aspiring business owners, and entrepreneurs, we struggle with being our authentic selves.
And not only is that holding us back, but it’s holding us back from the impact we can make through our business!!
So how can we address and reconnect with our true authentic selves on that real, raw, emotional level?
Well, today’s guest helps his clients do just this –AND he wrote a very unique book all about it!!
Corey Hilton is an author, authenticity coach, and a previous male exotic dancer. Yep, you read that right!!
Life has been his teacher, and I think a lot of Corey’s life lessons are 100% applicable to business!
I just know this episode will have so much value…and maybe give us a unique little story along the way!! Let’s go!!

I’ve got news for you, friends.
It’s never too late to start something new or “relaunch” your life, your business, or your relationships. You can absolutely level up, vibrate at a higher frequency, empower yourself, and impact others.
All you have to do is flip that limiting belief you have around success and create the opposite. Sounds easy, right?!?
Well, this journey starts with doing the deep inner work –because that inner voice and intuition is what will guide you towards the success you seek.
My guest today helps women do just that –and so much more!
Whether it’s showing up together as women, tapping into that feminine side, or operating at that higher level, she helps her clients achieve that higher level of success, no matter what it looks like in their lives.
Today I am talking to Hilary DeCesare, the Jill of all trades and just an incredibly empowering woman. Hillary is the founder of The ReLaunch Co, she’s an entrepreneurial coach, a women's retreat leader, and most recently, an author.
Did I mention she used to be a CEO in the Silicon Valley? Yep, she’s that incredible!
Hillary is sharing all about her signature 3HQ lifestyle, what her “relaunch” philosophy is all about, and how we can start manifesting our own success.
This conversation is pure magic, and you’ll definitely want to take notes –so bring a pad and paper and tune in!! Let’s go!!

We all want to meet our goals, right? Business goals, life goals, relationship goals, health goals –ALL the goals.
But to reach those goals, we need to figure out HOW we are getting there.
What gets us from where we’re at to where we want to be?
In this episode, we’re matching up the mindset with the motivation and movement needed to get stuff done!
Let me tell you –it’s ALL about the intentionality behind the movement we use to reach our goals and the clarity around the destination we want to arrive at.
Because here’s the thing - you’re moving somewhere, so you might as well have a little bit of control and intention with where you're going.
This episode is all about intentionality, clarity, modes of transportation (yup, I just said that), pivots, adjustments and having a clear internal compass so you can map out your end destination.
So, where are you going to go? Tune in to hear my personal insights on how to reach your goals!
Oh, and by the way, if you like what you hear? Could you do me a huge favor and leave us a review on iTunes @ When I Grow Up Pod? It would mean the world! Thank you!

Every single entrepreneur has a different starting place.
Whether you cut & styled hair, taught elementary school, worked in corporate, stayed at home with your kids, or started as a child actor (yep, even that), we all began somewhere.
No matter where you start, the key to finding that success you crave is to learn and grow from each experience (and opportunity) you encounter along the journey.
If you want to master the art of public speaking –from live stages to podcasts and everything in between– you’ve got to push past your comfort levels and push through barriers you probably never thought possible!
Luckily, today’s guest has done just that AND he’s sharing all his tips and tricks!
Tyler Foley has worn many, many hats throughout his career, from acting and speaking on stages to writing a book and podcasting. I mean, seriously, Tyler has sooo many different areas of expertise –and today, he’s sharing them with us!
I am super pumped for today’s conversation and can’t wait for you to walk away with more confidence in your abilities and a new zest for public speaking!! Let’s get to it!!

There has been a lot of 20/20 hindsight and shape-shifting happening behind the scenes over here with Kelsey (that’s me!), and I am currently on the wild journey of prioritizing myself (with the help of 75 Hard) –and I’ve decided to share my lessons learned with you today!
Yep, we’re talking mental toughness, mapping out what’s important to you, communicating with your loved ones, listening to your body and mind, and so MUCH more.
This episode is a bit more personal but 100% still relevant to business owners or anyone else who feels like they are dropping the ball on themselves!
My hope to you listening to this episode is that you understand the importance of taking care of yourself and making yourself a priority.
Because the more you take care of yourself, the easier it will be for everything else to fall into place –including your relationships, your partnerships, your friendships, and your business. And who doesn’t want that?!
Tune in if you need the motivation to kick-start your own journey to self-care. I know I needed this episode 28 days ago.

Spoiler alert! You can have a business that’s unique to you, lights you up on the inside, AND makes a profit. If you’re anything like my guest today, you can have TWO businesses you’re passionate about (not to mention the many side pursuits happening in the background).
Dr. Morissa Schwartz is the owner of Gen Z Publishing and Dr. Rissy’s Marketing Agency. She’s also a bestselling author, Guinness Book of World Records holder, AND holds a doctorate in literature from Drew University and has a Master’s in Communication. Did I mention she’s been published in Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine?
I mean, if that’s not a unique and impressive entrepreneurial career path, I’m not sure what is.
Tune in to this episode to hear Dr. Morissa’s unique (and fun!) journey from high school entrepreneur to successful CEO (and doctor and published writer) –plus all the tips and insight she’s learned in between!
My advice? When you know who you are and what you’re passionate about, stick with it, friends, because you can truly create an awe-inspiring business from it! So let's get to it!!

Here’s the deal: starting and running a successful business doesn’t have to be hard. It also doesn’t have to involve a complicated or innovative idea that requires high upfront costs, showing up on every social media platform available for download, or working crazy long hours.
It can really be as simple as solving a simple problem for your community. Yes, I meant to say simple twice!!
Why? Because our guest today has taken a simple idea and turned it into a simple (yet, successful!) business that has supported him and his employers for over 40 years – and the message that Brian Winch is spreading in this episode is that anybody can do it!!
So who is Brian? Well, he’s an author and the founder of Cleanlots, a parking lot litter cleanup business he has been running since 1981!! Brian is all about simple business models that allow entrepreneurs to make money from simple (yet impactful) ideas –and now he teaches others how to do it, too!
Sometimes those simple things in life are really what will bring you success!!
Tune in to hear Brian’s amazingly simple story of success!

Have you ever heard the saying by Henry Fielding, “Success is the fruit of slow growth”??
Don’t get me wrong, slow growth is definitely a great tactic for your biz, but not every business owner has the opportunity to grow at their own pace.
Circumstances and unique opportunities can catapult some entrepreneurs forward faster than their biz neighbors, BUT if they can keep up, take measured risks, and effectively lead a growing team, they can build an Empire.
And guess what? My incredible guest today has done just that. And I can’t wait for you to hear her story!
In today’s episode, Katelyn, aesthetician turned founder and CEO of Salon Ish, is talking all about how she went from a one-woman show to running a large team – and all the trials and tribulations that came along with growing a business and growing a team.
If you need a motivational boost on what your business can become and how to know if you’re ready to grow into the next phase of your biz, this episode is for you!

If you’ve spent 5 minutes with me… then you’ll know I’m a big fan of working smarter, not harder. And I’ll be honest with you, taking the time to create new content for each platform you’re showing up on is TIME CONSUMING. Want to know how to be SMART with your content creation? Repurpose, repurpose, repurpose.
Let’s talk about why repurposing is a great solution to your content creation woes, especially for those “overwhelming” social media platforms!!! Hint: repurposing your content takes the overwhelm out of content creation, pinky promise! AND you can still sound like your genuine, down to earth, relatable, self.
But the party doesn’t stop there!
Inside this episode, I’m going totally transparent and walking you through my very own content creation and repurposing process, from the big ideas and goals I set at the beginning of the year to the daily posts you see on my social media channels. Whether you want to outsource content creation or you're going at this alone, you’ll want to tune into this episode.
Let’s do this!!

If you’re an entrepreneur, showing up with confidence and clarity is key to running a successful business.
But if you’re not feeling your best because you aren’t prioritizing self-care, then your work will reflect that.
I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time for brain fog and low energy levels inside my business! Not showing up as my best self doesn’t serve my clients, and it doesn’t serve me.
But what if I told you that taking care of your personal health can help you become the effective leader, CEO, and business owner you’ve always wanted to be?
Well, I’ve got news for you!
Today’s guest is here to tell us exactly why optimal health is the key to success and what actions we can take to start energetically showing up for our clients, our family, and ourselves.
Nate Palmer is a health and fitness expert, author of The Million Dollar Body Method, and he’s sharing his unique approach to shifting your mindset around food, setting boundaries, and taking your health back.
Tune in to learn how you can start prioritizing your health to be the effective leader you were always meant to be.

Are you ready to step into that CEO role that your business needs?
Well, you need to start by looking at your numbers. Yep, I said it. Whether you want to improve how you do things on your own or are looking to grow your team, you need to know how your business is actually doing.
Numbers are what matter most in your business – and it’s numbers that tell the true story of what’s going on behind those picture-perfect IG feeds you’re seeing online. (Hint: a lot of times, those aren’t healthy businesses!) Believe me, I’ve talked to business who are barely making it yet they have tens of thousands of followers. Followers don’t always equal $, and today I’m going to tell you why.
Buckle in friends, we're going to have a deep convo about what numbers to track, what they tell you about your business and what to do with that information so you can build, scale, and grow a healthy biz that let’s you live your dream life!
Oh, and by the way, if you like what you hear? Could you do me a huge favor and leave us a review on iTunes @ When I Grow Up Pod? It would mean the world! Thank you!

I LITERALLY had a conversation in the DMs today about this exact topic.
We all see the power of social media, especially as business owners.
But it can feel SO overwhelming to constantly “show up” and stay on top of all the trends and changes.
Fear not! Because if you don’t do this ONE thing then you’re going to miss the mark.
So, what do you need to do? Know how to say the right things, to the right people. And today on special Episode #50, we’re going to do just that. We’re going to learn how to bring the magic of what you do to the internet. So your website, social media, e-mail list, and anywhere else you represent your business, makes it a no brainer to book/buy from you.
Whether you’re wanting to gain new customers or reconnect with past ones, this is the episode you need.
Enjoy my 5 best tips to turn brand new followers into raving fans. Let’s go!!!!

Wish you had a sales super power? You know, the ability to effortlessly book dream clients? Guess what, it’s totally possible. And in today’s episode Merit Kahn is going to teach us how! Plus she’ll share some lessons learned both as a business owner herself AND as a powerhouse sales coach.
She’s trained all types in sales: sales people, entrepreneurs, professionals and business leaders just to name a few. But the principles remain the same. Sales are the heartbeat of any business. And for most small business owners, it can feel icky and overwhelming. Which leads to avoidance or really awkward pitches.
If that sounds familiar, you are not alone and you’re going to want to tune in to this episode where I sit down with Merit to talk not only about selling with confidence but also her personal lessons in running her own business. Trust me, you need this one.

Join me as I talk with Heidi Williams, a business coach and full-time travel Youtuber, who shares her best (step by step) strategies for making all businesses as passive as possible.
Straight out of high school Heidi became one of four founders of the surf and athleticwear company, Mona. Once she realized her favorite part of running Mona was teaching other start-ups how Mona scaled so rapidly, she left the company to start her now six-figure coaching business. Now she travels the world and teaches other business owners how to work smarter, not harder, on the road.

So once upon a time I had a podcast with my friend and fellow biz owner April. It was called Ignite Your Life and we chatted all things entrepreneurship and life. Since then a lot has changed for both of us. Moving, babies, launching businesses, and new goals.
In this real, raw episode we talk about what it takes to pivot and how to navigate change. April shares her experience juggling motherhood and business. Plus when she knew it was time to pivot her first business. The best part? She shares her honest experience of working through a funk and starting a new business in real time. Are you craving change in your life? Then this one’s for you.
