You’re not stuck, you’re capped.
You’ve hit a level of success—but the harder you push, the less things seem to move. What used to work isn’t working anymore, and it feels like you’re hitting an invisible ceiling—but it’s actually the exact moment before your next level opens up.
In this episode, Andrea breaks down why high-performing women don’t plateau from lack of effort but from structural limits in their business, decision-making, and capacity—and what it looks like to expand beyond them without burning out.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right and still not growing, this is for you.

On the outside, everything looked like success.
Dr. Bridget Flickinger is an ER physician, a business owner, and a mom of three—building a thriving aesthetics practice while still working in emergency medicine. But behind the scenes? She was exhausted, overwhelmed, and stuck in what Andrea Liebross calls “decision debt.”
In this episode, we go inside the moment where “doing it all” stops working—and what it actually takes to shift from operator to CEO.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re winning on the outside but barely holding it together on the inside… this episode is for you.

The moment your business starts growing is often the moment you start getting trapped inside it.
In this conversation, Andrea sits down with entrepreneur Cameron Hemphill, who has helped scale more than 1,000 businesses and built Growth99 into a national platform before exiting to private equity. Cameron shares the patterns he sees over and over again as businesses grow—from the systems founders ignore early on to the mindset traps that quietly cap growth.
They talk about why so many founders get stuck trading time for dollars, how poor systems silently kill growth, and why the difference between a busy business and a scalable one often comes down to structure, delegation, and the willingness to invest before the results show up.
If you’ve ever felt like you built a successful business… only to become trapped running it, this conversation will challenge how you think about scaling, freedom, and what it really takes to build something that can grow beyond you.

You have the fire. But do you have the framework?
Many high-achieving women believe they need better strategy, stronger confidence, or more productivity to grow their business or leadership. But the real barrier to growth is often something deeper: the beliefs underneath it all.
In this episode, Andrea explores belief infrastructure—the internal framework that shapes your leadership mindset, decision-making, and ability to move past limiting beliefs. When the belief system supporting your ambition isn’t strong enough, even great plans struggle to take hold.
Through practical examples and a simple 7-step belief process, Andrea shows how to identify the thoughts driving your decisions, shift limiting beliefs, and build a mindset that supports leadership, business growth, and long-term success.
Because when your beliefs are built to hold more, everything else you’re building finally can too.

What if the reason your business feels chaotic isn’t because you need to work harder—but because you’re missing clarity?
In this episode, Andrea sits down with Seran Glanfield, founder of Spring Three Studio Business Consulting and host of the Pilates Business Podcast. Seran explains why many passionate service-based founders hit a ceiling in their business and how mapping the client journey can change the way you attract, serve, and retain clients. Together they explore why being great at your craft isn’t enough to build a sustainable business, where founders often misdirect their time and energy, and the small shift that can bring more clarity, focus, and momentum to your growth.

You can’t outwork disbelief.
In this episode, Andrea shares the internal framework behind everything she teaches about leadership, belief, and decision-making. Inspired by communications coach Dia Bondi’s Platform Map, she breaks down the four elements that shape your leadership voice — Purpose, Provenance, Point of View, and Playbook.
Andrea reveals why so many high-achieving women are stuck performing leadership instead of leading with conviction, and why the real issue isn’t strategy — it’s belief.
If you’re ready to stop chasing confidence and start architecting belief, it starts here.

You're not being lowballed. You're doing it yourself.
Dia Bondi — 20-year leadership communications coach, author of Ask Like an Auctioneer, and the woman behind Rio's 2016 Olympic bid — joins She Thinks Big to talk about the negotiation you're losing before it even begins.
The rounding down. The extras nobody asked for. The number you softened before anyone pushed back. Dia calls it shopping from your own wallet — and most of us don't realize we're doing it.
In this episode: how to set your reserve before a conversation starts, why price is a measure of value and not your worth, how to find the offer inside any ask, and what to do when you land in the XFO — your Zone of Freaking Out — right before the big moment.
That feeling isn't a sign you're doing it wrong. It means you're doing something that matters.

Scaling a business gets harder when everything still depends on the founder.
If your company only works because you’re the one holding everything together… that’s not scale — that’s founder dependency.
In this episode, we unpack the leadership trap ambitious founders fall into when every decision, problem, and opportunity runs through them — and why that dynamic quietly caps business growth and leadership potential.
The real issue isn’t productivity.
It’s business design.
And when a business is designed around the founder, growth eventually hits a ceiling.

You’ve done the work. So what’s stopping you from charging more?
In this episode, we’ll dig into the idea that pricing is never just about numbers or the market. It’s about belief, leadership, and what you’re willing to claim. We’ll break down the four core beliefs that shape your pricing decisions, why pushback isn’t a verdict on your value, and how to build the internal foundation required to hold higher rates.
If pricing feels charged, emotional, or heavier than it “should,” this conversation will help you understand why — and what to do about it.

💌Have a burning question you’d like Andrea to address on the show? Text Andrea (be sure to include your name and where you’re from) for a special shout out on an upcoming episode!
Is your business growth hitting a ceiling no matter how hard you work? The problem likely isn't your effort– it's your infrastructure. And I don't mean your software.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, we're diving deep into the "Internal Operations System" that dictates your success. We often think scale is about external tactics, but true growth is internal. If you feel like you're spinning your wheels, it might be because your belief system hasn't caught up to your business goals.
We’ll cover:
- Growth vs. Scale: Why they aren't the same thing and why you need both.

We dive deep into the uncomfortable truth: talent alone isn't enough to build a profitable company. LuAnn breaks down why "hustle" is often just a mask for a lack of systems– and why understanding your numbers and designing systems that allow you to become a force multiplier is the only way to move from surviving to thriving.

- 04:28 – From Cold Podcast Pitch To Friendship
- 05:44 – High Point Market: Disneyland for Designers
- 10:57 – "I Was Just the Sales Person"
- 13:22 – The E-Myth Wake-Up Call
- 16:35 – "Hustle Without Systems Is Just Chaos"
- 22:48 – The Two Numbers That Determine Profitability

Are you exhausted from trying to "believe harder" in your goals? You might be stuck in the trap of white-knuckling– forcing yourself to be confident when your brain isn't ready.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, we debug the biggest myth about success: that belief is just a mindset issue. I explain why lack of belief is actually an environment problem and how stress physically prevents you from building the confidence you need.

In this episode:
- 1:33 – Welcome
- 4:23 – The real problem
- 5:40 – The neuroscience
- 7:13 – Dopamine & belief
- 9:11 – Why stress kills belief
- 12:33 – How belief is actually built
- 14:28 – Why this is hard to do alone
- 15:07 – The one shift your best self needs
- 17:47 – Better conditions start here

Money is one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics in business. Thinking differently about how money moves through your business and life involves more than just looking at spreadsheets, creating formulas, or trying to find quick fixes. It’s about redefining your relationship with money as a reflection of your leadership, energy, and meaning.
In the final episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, you’ll learn six essential money lessons that have shaped my coaching practice and my clients’ growth. I’ll show you that money doesn’t create safety (clarity does) and how every financial decision is an opportunity to lead intentionally.
What’s Covered in This Episode on Money Lessons That Help Your Business Keep More of What You Earn
2:18 – The question every female entrepreneur asks about money
3:36 – The four (or five) distinct money skills that every CEO needs to have a handle on

When you think about systems, do you immediately picture software, spreadsheets, and automation? Many entrepreneurs do, but that narrow definition is exactly what keeps them stuck. Systems are so much more than that, providing the invisible scaffolding called structure that supports thriving businesses and balanced lives.
In the fourth episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, you’ll discover why systems are not cages, but the very structures that set you free and fuel creativity, peace, and sustainable growth. I’ll reveal six powerful lessons that took me years to learn, but can transform your leadership and operations today. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what kind of systems you need so that your business can run without you.
What’s Covered in This Episode on Systems That Grow Your Business
1:59 – What my system was like at the beginning of my business
4:13 – Why systems aren’t just software and the importance of people systems
6:06 – The real strength behind software systems and why thinking systems matter
9:01 – How decision systems save you time and how structure creates freedom

You didn’t start your business to manage a to-do list. You started it to create something meaningful and sustainable. But somewhere along the way, “team” became just another line item, and you felt stuck between wanting to do everything yourself and knowing it was time to trust others to take some of the load off.
In the third episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, you’ll learn what it really means to lead and not just hire, delegate, or manage. Through the lens of my own five-year evolution, I’ll share how everything shifted the moment I realized that the growth of my business has never been a solo act. I’ll also reveal five powerful lessons that will help you lead with clarity instead of control, hire from purpose instead of panic, and build a team that scales both your business and your belief in others.
What’s Covered in This Episode on How I Stopped Managing Tasks
3:12 – The surprising truth of where the building of my team really began
8:32 – The pivotal realization that transformed my collaborators into a powerful team
10:32 – Five lessons that will change how you hire, lead, and scale your business
14:53 – Three “L” questions you should ask to grow trust and confidence in your team
16:10 – What I know now about building a team that I didn’t know when I started

Beliefs are the invisible architects behind every decision, every pivot, and every result you create. They don’t start as plans but as whispers of possibility. I learned this thanks to a simple Saturday visit to Homearama that led to a life-altering decision, and it’s something I see repeatedly with my clients, too.
In the second episode of our 5th anniversary series on She Thinks Big, you’ll discover how beliefs can shape your reality and why upgrading them changes everything. Using tools like my TRUST framework, I’ll also show you how to move from belief to action and give you a simple process to change any belief you want.
What’s Covered in This Episode on Why Belief Is the Blueprint
2:15 – How a spontaneous weekend outing planted the seed of a new possibility
10:11 – Why “beliefs create results” isn’t motivational fluff—it’s how your brain is wired

12:25 – The TRUST framework: the five-step process that turns belief into action
15:01 – An example of how belief can protect your ego and sabotage progress
16:26 – A simple three-step action plan for changing your beliefs
17:59 – What Homearama taught me about gratitude and ambition
20:32 – A tiny sneak peek into episode three of the series

What began as Time to Level Up has transformed into something much bigger. It’s not just a podcast but a movement and a mirror reflecting the power of women who choose to grow on purpose. It symbolizes how your business and mindset can evolve and why “thinking big” means embracing progress over perfection. So we’re celebrating five years of bold thinking, evolution, and growth with a five-part anniversary series!
In the kickoff to this series on She Thinks Big, you’ll dive deep into one of the most foundational themes in entrepreneurship: priorities. I’ll share how saying yes to everything once felt like the key to success and what I’ve learned since then about focus, time as a mind reflection, and the freedom that comes from aligning your energy with what truly matters.
If you’ve ever struggled to find balance between growth and grace or wondered if changing your priorities means you’ve failed, this episode will reframe how you view your time, energy, and power as a CEO.
What’s Covered in This Episode on Shifting Priorities to Build Your Business
1:56 – Reflecting on the earliest days of the podcast and what it’s really all about
8:28 – Why I used to say yes to every opportunity (and what I’ve learned since)
10:24 – How your shifting priorities reflect growth, not failure
12:37 – How time is a reflection of your mind
13:55 – What your energy reveals about what you really value
16:17 – How to identify your future-focused priorities and act on them this week
17:24 – Bonus assignment: the beauty of saying “no”
20:41 – A sneak peek into the next episode of the series

If you struggle with decisions that involve pausing a subscription, delaying a hiring, or cutting out coaching because it feels expensive, then you could benefit from practical tools and perspective shifts that help you make smart, more confident spending decisions.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn a clear, five-question checklist that you can use to evaluate your business expenses. I’ll also share my process for assessing your top recurring expenses and experimenting with gray-area (i.e., maybe) decisions so you can lead with strategy, not fear.

At some point, you’ve probably said it. “If I could just get more clients, everything would be better.” I hear this all the time, and it makes sense. More clients sounds like the obvious fix. More money. More growth. More security.
But what usually happens is the opposite. Those extra clients don’t make things better. They make the cracks in your business show faster and make it harder to grow.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn what actually creates growth that lasts and where to focus your energy next. We’ll talk about the hidden costs of “more,” how to build the right kind of support around you, and the next step to take if you’re ready to create a business that fuels you instead of drains you.
3:52 – Why more clients don’t always mean more profit
5:52 – How client growth can quickly turn into chaos
7:20 – The hidden tradeoff of chasing client volume
8:24 – How more clients bring more hidden costs to your business
9:29 – Three questions to ask and the deeper challenge your business might face
10:08 – The real issue: scaling chaos versus scaling solutions
11:49 – What truly creates freedom (and the focused experience that can help)
13:30 – My challenge to you

Kate Thacker thought she had to do it all herself to grow her interior design business. By the end of 2023, she was stretched thin and ready for something different. That’s when she decided to treat support as a gift to herself and to her business.
That one choice shifted everything. Coaching and new hires helped her stop spiraling over setbacks, start making CEO-level decisions, and move forward with confidence. She even began to see the same patterns in her own design clients as they wrestled with whether to invest in her expertise.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll hear how Kate’s leap into support reshaped her business and how she shows up as a leader. We’ll talk about what it really means to invest in yourself, how to reframe setbacks as forward movement, and why the ROI on asking for help often extends far beyond revenue growth.
2:28 – Kate’s eventful background and the start of her interior design business
6:31 – Early business challenges and how Kate’s mindset shifted as CEO
10:11 – Why Kate decided to invest in coaching and fears that almost held her back
13:30 – Changes in Kate’s mindset in the 18 months since we started working together
15:48 – How Kate approaches investments in hiring and building a team
17:44 – Kate’s biggest marketing goal and how it impacted revenue growth
21:34 – The impact of Kate’s growth from self-investment on her client relationships
25:14 – One thing that can limit success, regardless of the effort involved
29:38 – Accessible interior design support for the budget-conscious
32:14 – The newest extension on Kate’s website: Shop My Style feature

As entrepreneurs, we often think of assets as tangible, like money. But you’re probably overlooking another asset. It’s one that doesn’t show up on spreadsheets, yet it directly affects your decision-making speed, confidence, and overall business growth.
What’s the missing piece? Access. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by options and paralyzed with indecision, it’s time to tap into your access so you can start making decisions and taking action with the tools and information you have.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll discover how access is a strategic asset that bridges the gap between knowing what to do and actually doing it. I’ll share clips and stories that show how real-time support (whether through coaching, mentorship, or any other trusted expert relationships) leads to faster clarity, better problem-solving, and long-lasting growth.
3:05 – Personal example of how access can save time and energy and reduce uncertainty
4:43 – Why access matters (and what it really means to have it)
7:14 – What research (and clients) say about the tangible impact of having access to a coach
11:52 – How access makes you less reliant and more resilient as an entrepreneur and CEO
13:54 – Steps you can take to analyze your access and start using it as an asset
16:52 – Reminder of what having access as an asset can do for you as a business owner

Most entrepreneurs focus on tracking key metrics like revenue, leads, and conversion rates. But there’s another metric that might matter more, especially for us women entrepreneurs. It’s an often overlooked, yet critical one that can transform the way you lead and scale your business.

The world is saturated with business coaches who each have their own rulebook and system. But what if all that information isn't actually what you need?
True growth doesn’t come from another person telling you what to do or handing you a playbook. Instead, it comes from powerful questions, reframing perspectives, and unlocking the answers you already have inside of you.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll be challenged to look beyond the conventional definition of a coach and consider the role of a strategic thought partner. Drawing inspiration from figures like Ted Lasso and Mr. Miyagi, I’ll teach you how a strategic thought partner helps you see the bigger picture, cut through the noise, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
2:22 – The distinction between a coach and a strategic thought partner
6:33 – Example of the power of perspective that a strategic thought partner can provide
7:55 – How coaching skills aren’t industry-specific
9:30 – More examples of the benefits of having strategic thought partners in your corner
11:29 – The role a strategic thought partner should play for you
13:54 – Your next steps to gain the clarity and perspective you need

The big, glossy postcard invites in the mail…the life-changing workshop email invitation, the networking event of the year…
You’ve seen them all and probably often wondered, “Should I go?” While some might be more convenient to attend, others might be a cross-country plane ride away and require time, money, and other resources that make it harder to orchestrate.
And in the end, is the payoff worth it? Instead of blindly making decisions on which opportunities to attend, a practical framework can help you move beyond “fear of missing out” and convenience and ensure that every event you attend is a strategic step toward your business goals.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn how to confidently choose which events, conferences, and webinars are worth the investment of your time, energy, and money. Using personal stories to illustrate my points, I’ll discuss the challenges you’ll face, things you need to consider, and the exact decision-making filters I use that can help you decide which opportunities are worth your while.
4:41 – Events I’ve decided to go to using my decision filter framework
10:58 – Three challenges you’ll often face when deciding on which events to attend
12:49 – Three filters to help you clarify opportunities worth your time

The biggest leaps in life and business often come from a willingness to get uncomfortable. Investing in the person you need to become to achieve your dreams is a big part of the process.
Laura Khesin has known this firsthand for a while now. As the visionary behind her budding empire, Society Beauty Bar, her bold decisions and high tolerance for self-investment have stretched and challenged her, transforming big risks into even bigger returns.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, Laura discusses her journey of turning strategic risks into remarkable success, from her early days as a real estate investor to building her thriving salon business. You’ll learn how she courageously navigated major financial commitments to not only grow her business, but also to grow as a leader.

Laura Khesin is the founder and chief stylist at Society Beauty Bar, a boutique salon with locations in the Boston area. After her sophomore year at Suffolk University, she decided to focus on becoming a stylist. She spent five years working for a salon before becoming an independent stylist.
Then in 2017, Laura opened her first salon as a rental property in Arlington. Five years later, she pivoted to offering commission-based salons, which combined the best parts of being an independent stylist with the traditional commission salon model. Through Society, stylists enjoy the same benefits of independent contractors without the nuances of working for themselves and can grow their careers with freedom and a salon family that supports them in their aspirations.

There’s something not on your calendar that still takes up a lot of headspace. It’s something that no one really talks about. And it’s this:
You can be fully booked—calendar, clientele roster, and all—and still feel completely lonely in your business. Why? Because you have no one to bounce ideas off or to serve as a sounding board for tough decisions. It’s just you at the top.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about the impact of entrepreneurial loneliness on you as a business owner. I’ll discuss the isolationism of being the one in charge, the stages of entrepreneurial loneliness, and what you can do to protect yourself against it (emphasizing the importance of having a real support system early on).
2:46 – The invisible weight of decision fatigue
5:06 – How entrepreneurial loneliness evolves in three stages
8:14 – How an iceberg resembles your business and you as its CEO

On the outside, everything looks golden. You’ve built your business. Maybe you’ve grown it to six or seven figures. You thought this kind of success would equal freedom, but it feels more like a straitjacket. All those bookings on your calendar have you busy and burnt out.

You survived the start-up phase, made money, and built a team. Now, several years later, you think you should have the ins and outs of running a business all figured out by now. Yet, even though everything looks great on the surface, it can feel exhausting, chaotic, even uninspiring on the inside…especially when you’re still wearing all the hats.
That’s where Andrea Liddane found herself with her 20+ year tutoring business. As the founder and CEO of Liddane Tutoring and Learning Services, she’s served hundreds of students and hired over 30 tutors. But after all this time, she realized she was emotionally and physically tired and felt uninspired by her passion. So she took a bold step and sought a guide who wouldn’t just hand her a map but take the journey with her.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, Andrea shares what it really looks like to be an experienced business owner who still needs support and why seeking coaching later in the game can sometimes be the most strategic move of all. As she and I have fun with revealing her story through forest analogies, you’ll see why knowing what you’re doing as an entrepreneur doesn’t mean you should have to do it alone.

Do you lie awake at night, feeling that nagging urge to throw in the towel even though your business is thriving?
Many women entrepreneurs hit their revenue goals, have adoring clients, or finally upgraded their systems. Yet, they still fantasize about walking away for something simpler, like becoming an employee again or living in the Swiss Alps as a dog walker. However, what looks like craziness or ungratefulness on the surface is just a sign of a much-needed internal shift.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn why you feel like shutting your business down even when everything looks perfect on the surface. I’ll teach you why burnout isn’t from your efforts, why success can feel like a trap, and the crucial role of your mindset, self-talk, and support system in sustaining your entrepreneurial journey with renewed energy, power, and purpose.
1:20 - Why you’re not crazy or ungrateful if you want to quit or burn it down
4:24 - Why it’s about your brain, not your business being broken
6:52 - Why mindset is a daily recalibration, not a bubble bath
10:18 - Why you need new self-talk, not a new strategy (with a personal example)
16:24 - Why who you surround yourself with matters more than you think
20:35 - Take five minutes to answer these four questions

Pinpoint exactly where you are in your entrepreneurial journey and get the customized guidance you need to unlock your next big step at andrealiebross.com/quiz.
If you want to step fully into your power as CEO, you must lead, not just keep the wheels turning in your business. This is where things really start to shift and where you start to realize how powerful your influence can be as a business owner.
But leadership isn't just about giving orders. It's about setting the tone, shaping the culture, and defining the direction of your business. Yet many entrepreneurs get stuck in the weeds of managing, overlooking, or misunderstanding their critical role as a leader.
In part three of our four-part miniseries on She Thinks Big, we’ll unpack this role and delve into how to move beyond micromanagement and into true leadership.

You’ve gone from doing everything yourself to hiring a team to help you in your small business. Yet, you still feel overwhelmed and wonder why.
There’s a gap in your business–a missing role that allows you to truly lead but one that also too often gets overlooked. You’re missing a manager, my friend. Without this layer, you’ll never unlock your business’s true growth potential or gain the freedom you crave as a CEO.
In part two of this four-part miniseries on She Thinks Big, you’ll learn what it really means to be a manager. I’ll discuss why you might be stuck running the day-to-day mechanics and how letting someone else own that role is essential if you want to lead and maintain your sanity.

8:20 - Why CEOs get stuck in management and struggle with the role

Are you consuming podcast after podcast, waiting for the “aha” moment that finally gets you into gear—but still stuck in place?
Tiffany Berland was, too. Until one summer when she decided enough was enough.
Despite juggling a chaotic home life, running an interior design business, and raising three kids, Tiffany took a chance on herself. She signed up for the Design Your Ideal Summer workshop… and never looked back. That single step helped her shift from just surviving each day to intentionally designing a life and business that actually supported her.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, Tiffany opens up about her journey from information overload to taking real, aligned action. She shares the mindset shifts, support, and tools that helped her navigate a turbulent season in life and business, and how she finally started creating what she truly wanted.
Andrea and Tiffany unpack what it really looks like to take meaningful action (even during hard seasons), the tools that helped her stay focused, and the one game-changing question Tiffany still asks herself daily.
2:33 – How Tiffany and Andrea connected (and the summer that changed everything)
5:45 – The realization that shifted Tiffany from passive listener to action-taker
10:48 – What taking the first step actually looked like in a chaotic season
13:59 – Why hiring a coach outside her industry made the biggest impact
19:59 – The tools that helped Tiffany clarify her vision and discover her big dream
29:21 – Why she stayed stuck in “gathering mode” and what finally moved her out
33:19 – What surprised her about group coaching (and why she almost said no)
36:22 – One action you can take today to move from stuck to forward

Are you over the endless revisions, the constant problem-dumping, and the time-wasting tasks that keep you stuck in the weeds? Then let’s change that, because scaling your business shouldn’t require sacrificing your sanity.
I’m sharing the five principles from Dan Martell’s Buy Back Your Time that have completely changed the way I work, hire, and lead. I’ve implemented them in my own business, and now my clients use them too, because they work. I believe in them so much that I created short videos on each one, and every new team member watches them before we ever work together.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, we’re talking about how to buy back your time on purpose. With tools that help you set clear expectations, delegate more effectively, and stay focused on what actually moves the needle. I’m walking you through how to apply each principle with real examples from my own business.
3:29 - Define what done looks like by starting with the end in mind
5:26 - Bring to light solutions (not just problems) with the 1-3-1 rule

Ever feel like you get caught in an emotional whirlwind because of other people's actions or behaviors? Perhaps it left you feeling drained and frustrated as a result.

But like my guest Whitney Vredenburgh says, that’s not a bad thing.
New challenges represent pathways to help you grow and scale your business and evolve as a business owner and CEO.

“Should I hire a coach inside or outside my industry?”
With so many coaches available, this question comes up a lot. Industry-specific coaches can help you nail down the systems and processes of your business while outside coaches can help you develop the business concepts and mindset that engineer growth.
As owner of an interior designing business, Amanda Arcone felt she needed support and perspective from a professional who wasn’t in the industry. So she called me and got to experience first-hand how an outside coach can provide clarity and flexibility to really grow a business in a way that feels right personally.
In this episode of the She Thinks Big podcast, you’ll learn why hiring a coach outside your industry might be the smartest move you make. As Amanda and I discuss her journey, we’ll dive into the tricky parts of running a business that industry-specific coaches don’t focus on and talk about why your mindset is just as important as the business systems you use.
5:18 - Amanda’s introduction and how parts of her professional background translated into her business
9:16 - Why Amanda transitioned from commercial banking to an interior design business
10:51 - How location and her own personality informed Amanda’s niche and approach to doing business
14:08 - Why Amanda sought coaching outside of the interior design industry and a crucial difference between industry-specific versus outside coaches
20:33 - Experimenting with pricing and what feels good and how your money mindset impacts your confidence with clients
27:26 - Tangible changes in Amanda’s business that have contributed to growing her bottom line
32:10 - What Amanda wants to be doing three years from now (and one thing she hated about her corporate career)
35:25 - The importance of really getting in touch with yourself as a business owner, understanding your financials, and having a plan

When you think about growing your business, what immediately comes to mind? Most likely, it’s money–specifically revenue. You brainstorm and implement strategies in pursuit of more money. But rather than directly chasing revenue, let’s subtly shift the emphasis onto something that’ll better foster your business’s long-term sustainability instead.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn the key to sustainable business growth and experience a shift in the way you think about goals that’ll lead to more revenue. I’ll provide examples of indirect revenue drivers you can use to harness your focus on what really matters and address a big, nagging fear that comes up for myself and many of the women I coach.
2:53 - A simple question to refocus your attention on the real key to sustainable business growth
5:08 - Relationship strategies that successful businesses use to ensure they continue to thrive
7:02 - Why making more money isn’t a goal (despite it being the lifeblood of your business)
9:45 - Reframing the question around the huge fear of not delivering enough value
11:45 - Why pricing isn’t about worthiness or fairness and the magic that can happen by focusing on what matters
13:46 - Three things to consider to help you start thinking beyond revenue and start fostering long-term growth

You know those war movies where the losing side of a battle retreats? Most wouldn’t consider that kind of retreat a positive thing. Yet when you think about it, the characters who make that call are giving themselves (and the others fighting) permission to pause, regroup, and strategize.
Members of the Runway to Freedom Mastermind enjoy a different kind of retreating that offers a similar purpose. As an entrepreneur and CEO, these retreats can propel you forward. So let’s talk about this concept of retreating to advance in your business (and life).
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn some tangible benefits and real-life challenges of retreats. I’ll also reveal how one client advanced as a CEO after attending a recent retreat and provide a framework for mini-retreats you can start implementing today.
2:27 - What a retreat is really all about
4:15 - Three things that happen when you give yourself permission to pause
5:58 - How “Samantha” advanced within a month after attending the mastermind retreat
7:09 - What you might have to do before you go on retreat (and what you might face after getting back)
10:27 - How to start small if you don’t have the time to go retreating right now

In business, we often want to skip right to the action. We think that if someone would just give us a blueprint, then we can make it work and be successful. But that skips over a vital step.

These are the kinds of questions that pop up when you’re worried about making the wrong decision.

Think back to when you were a child. You looked at the adults around you and expected them to provide for you. You watched or listened to stories of Princes Charming and knights in shining armor saving the day. Then, when you became an adult yourself, you were expected to “leave childish things” behind.
But are you still expecting other people to meet your needs (like you’re stuck in some movie waiting for a partner to “complete you”)? Are you looking to others to fix something for you instead of helping you solve your problems? If so, let me help you take on the reins of responsibility here.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn my four-step process for meeting your own needs. I’ll also explain the gift that comes with higher needs and why fulfilling them yourself is so much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.
1:59 - Six things to listen for that’ll be explored in this episode
5:55 - Why your higher needs are a gift
8:29 - Why you shouldn’t expect other people to meet your needs (and the benefit it bestows to others)

17:29 - Step two: how to welcome the knowing of the pain you’re experiencing
21:50 - Step three: how to hold space for the solution to meet your needs to come to you
27:29 - Step four: how offering your complete self to the world can inspire you moving forward

You have 60,000 thoughts a day, but how many of them are intentional?
When you’re on autopilot, your brain dismisses options before you even have a chance to explore them and only accepts the ones that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. But there’s a better way to make better choices; you have to pause and engage your higher brain.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn how to access all of your options and make better choices through intentional thinking. I’ll teach you the process of searching for ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you.

If you’re not celebrating your business success, why? What’s stopping you?
There are several reasons why you might tend to avoid acknowledging your wins. But refusing to celebrate them can have a detrimental impact on you and your business.
My fellow masterminder and coach Jennine Heller certainly sees celebrating as a necessity, not an indulgence.

You don't need is another endless list of ideas or tools or generic advice, what you do need is personalized clarity.
Well, good news. I've created something just for you, my brand-new quiz called, Are You Ready to Scale Big?
Pinpoint exactly where you are in your entrepreneurial journey and get the customized guidance you need to unlock your next big step at andrealiebross.com/quiz.
When it comes to your business finances, you might find it uncomfortable (maybe even a bit mystifying) to talk about. But if you really want to think big and level up as a CEO, your business strategy needs (and deserves) a financial plan to match.
Some people love analyzing the financials behind a business and how they affect strategy (and vice versa) and want to help other entrepreneurs get a firm handle on it, too. My new friend Michele Williams is one of them!
Michele is the dynamic owner of Scarlet Thread Consulting and Metrique Solutions, two companies that focus on empowering creative professionals. She’s a financial expert who loves to talk about and teach all things money, strategy, and finance. And she’s crazy about financial success!
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about her dedication to helping business owners bridge the gap between their strategic vision and financial reality. Michele will discuss how she can help you develop a clear financial plan that supports your strategic goals so that you make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and achieve your long-term objectives.
1:45 - Why Michele is on a mission to close the financial literacy gap for business owners
5:09 - What entrepreneurs struggle with most when it comes to the financial backbone of their strategy
11:05 - The process and financial modeling tools Michele uses to help clients create the financial backbone they need for their business
15:19 - One thing Michele does to make the money she earns from her business feel more real to her
18:53 - The disconnect that can occur between strategy and financials and why it feels mysterious to us
21:56 - The purpose of Michele’s CFO program, how it’s designed to serve smaller business owners, and how it’s different from bookkeeping and accounting

Are you tired of wishing things were different and ready to start actively pursuing what you truly want?
Using the “concept of 20 asks,” I’ve helped clients get what they want. But with the 200th episode of the podcast drawing near, I realized I’d never done a show about it...until now! So let’s talk about the concept of 20 asks so you can identify exactly what you want and how to get it.
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about the power of asking for what you deserve. We’ll explore how to overcome the fear of wanting and cover specific strategies to help pave the way for you to discover your true wants so you can transform those desires into reality!
3:05 - The problem for the majority of women I work with who are trying to figure out what they want
7:39 - An example of the far-reaching power of a big thinker who knows what she wants
11:05 - How your resistance to what you want can fool you and disguise itself as a want
13:10 - A suggestion to help you figure out what you really want
16:18 - Examples of what you can ask to make space for getting exactly what you want

In corporate America, it’s often all about the numbers, the metrics, the quotas, the profit. But in your purpose-driven business, it has to be about something more. It has to be about people.
Mary Elaine Baker understands this, as it’s one of the four priority pieces in her business. She is the co-founder and integrator of VAUSA, a virtual assistance company unlike any other. With no entrepreneurial background beforehand, she’s taken her business and grown and scaled it in a way that really resonates with her clients. To find out how she’s done it, let’s dive into her corner of the virtual assistance world!
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn about the importance of building a strong company culture, the challenges and rewards of scaling a business, and the valuable lessons she learned along the way. Mary will discuss her four priority pieces, their significance in building her business, and how you can approach business scaling to ensure the creation of a thriving, purpose-driven enterprise for yourself and your clients.
2:35 - Mary introduces herself and discusses why she co-founded VAUSA
5:27 - What Mary’s clients and virtual staff are normally struggling with when they come to her
11:57 - The importance of how your business values show up and how Mary grew (and then intentionally downsized) her business
21:15 - Mary’s four priority pieces and how they ground you and prevent fear or scarcity-based decision-making
23:54 - Questions to ask yourself if you want to move from growth to scale mode in your business
27:09 - What Mary does when a VA she hires experiences a confidence crisis about their ability to do the work
32:43 - What to ask yourself if you’re considering hiring a virtual assistant
Connect with Mary Elaine Baker
In 2018, Mary Elaine co-founded VAUSA with her husband after experiencing the benefits of time freedom when Mary Elaine became a virtual assistant. As a military couple, they appreciated the flexibility that remote work provided, allowing Mary Elaine to balance her work and family life while easily adapting to the frequent changes of military life. Her experience working with entrepreneurs and connections with military spouses highlighted the need for a platform that could connect clients and virtual assistants, build trust, and facilitate effective collaboration. Thus, VAUSA was created to offer the gift of time freedom to both its clients and team.

How do you think about the people working in your business? More specifically, what is your thinking process concerning the roles they play?
As an entrepreneur, you need to account for five valuable roles that you and other people hold inside your company. These roles represent different aspects of work, strategic input, and judgment in your business

It started as just another e-book. Now, thanks to bigger thinking, it’s turning into a movement…and the new name for this podcast is part of it. Welcome to the first official episode of She Thinks Big!
You might be wondering why I rebranded. You probably know by now that I believe 1,000% in the power and necessity of coaching support and that every coach should have a coach, too. My business coach, Stacey Hylen, has been instrumental in helping me think bigger about many things, including aligning everything in my business into the Think Big Movement.
But thinking big is an evolutionary process. To show what it looks like, I can’t think of a better way to demonstrate (and kick off this rebrand celebration) than with a case study featuring yours truly.
In this episode of the She Thinks Big Podcast, you’ll see how a big thinking evolution can change you and your business. With Stacey alongside to help guide the conversation, we’ll share the insights gained, questions asked, and mental shifts necessary that I encountered to help you start aligning everything in your business toward what you really want, too.

Adopting new beliefs is challenging. People find it hard to believe in themselves to successfully make a change, that a specific change they want is even possible, and so on.
Yet, people do find success in believing new things, and thus, changing reality in their life or business. So how do they do it? What do they do differently than others who struggle and stay stuck?
In this episode of the soon-to-be-rebranded Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn the eight-step process for firmly taking on new beliefs. While eight steps might sound like a lot, you’ll discover that some just naturally build on (or are an extension of) each other, making it simple to flow from one to the next. To further illustrate how this works, I’ll also share some of my thinking as I went through this process for the rebranding of the show
2:36 - What you need to be willing to be and allow for your new belief to start taking form
4:35 - What you have to find and practice for your new belief to start taking root
6:15 - What you have to maintain and normalize for your new belief to start growing
7:35 - What you have to embrace and give for your new belief to start blossoming into reality
9:57 - Three premises to consider for adopting new beliefs successfully

According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, up to 60% of people won’t start a business due to their fear of failure. Many who do take the plunge, though, still experience this fear. It is one of the nine most common fears business owners have, after all.
In fact, a couple of weeks ago, a client said she feared failing in her latest launch. After digging a little deeper, her concern, as it turned out, was actually about a different (but connected) fear.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how fear of failure is linked to fear of judgment. I’ll show you the best way to resolve this and why it’s the key element most responsible for your happiness and success as a person and entrepreneur.

Each of these scenarios involves taking a specific approach to how you allocate your time and money for achieving the result you want. But not everyone who is a CEO has a CEO mindset. To get to that place, you have to upgrade your mindset as well as how you use your most valuable business resources.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear about the three stages you might go through as you start, build, and grow your business. I’ll discuss the different mindset approaches in each stage, which depend on how you think of yourself.
1:41 - Why you might feel like an employee, not a CEO, in your business
5:58 - The scenario where you really start to think of yourself as an entrepreneur
9:34 - What you focus on when you have the CEO mindset

You schedule a consultation call with a coach because some part of you wants to say yes to working with them. After all, you’re not going to spend the time having the conversation otherwise.
Yet, when it comes down to it and decision time arrives, you hesitate with reasons to say no. So what’s stopping you from investing in yourself and your business?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn 10 reasons why you might hesitate to invest in a coach (or anything, really) and why these objections aren’t entirely true. I’ll also teach you how you can begin to overcome any of these objections so you can level up your business and life.

As much as it feels great when you reach a goal, it can feel equally awful when you miss one.
Now, you might not achieve a goal you set for several reasons. But there could also be an underlying factor sabotaging you that you don’t even realize is tying you down.
Whatever your goal is, is it really yours? Your goals are influenced by your kids, parents, spouses, and others around you...and not always in ways helpful for you.
In this continuation of our “Mom Series” on Time to Level Up, you’ll learn reasons why you might be striving for goals that aren’t your goals. I’ll also give some examples of what this looks like and discuss the importance of having a compelling reason for your goal and how to lighten the heaviness of goals you set.
4:31 - Example of how someone’s goal might reflect deeper issues that have nothing to do with the goal
7:20 - The consequences of striving for a goal that’s really someone else’s
10:12 - Why trying to prove yourself to yourself or other people doesn’t work well
15:11 - Other reasons people have for setting goals they don’t actually desire to achieve
19:14 - The thinking you need to shift to so you can lighten the load of your goals

Imagine spending a couple of days in an 11-bedroom, three-story house with private bathrooms for everyone.

In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at what went on and the kind of experiences available to you as a mastermind retreat attendee.

We all know people who put all of their attention on focusing on tasks in their business or home, or connecting with others in their business or family.
You’ll see this imbalance depicted as the workaholic type who works late hours every day and is never home, or the social butterfly who amounts to nothing career-wise in the eyes of family and friends. Most people are naturally inclined to lean towards focusing on tasks over making social connections, or vice versa. They haven’t mastered the balancing act needed for maximum success.
So how do you figure out where you are on the focus and connection scales as a mom and business owner? And how can you integrate a better balance that’ll have you feel like you’re at your best?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear about the paradigm between deciding what to focus on as a mom and business owner and whether that could jeopardize your chances of connecting with others. I’ll teach you about the importance of balancing your focus and connection in your business and personal life, how to find the right spot on these spectrums, and examples of the positives of doing so and the consequences if you don’t.
2:10 - Why you need to balance your focus and connection as a mom and entrepreneur
6:30 - What you need to understand to help you find that sweet spot for success in your business and personal life
9:06 - Examples of rewards and consequences of striking a balance between focus and connection versus being all in on one over the other
15:47 - How to figure out where you want to be on the focus and connection spectrums and find a better balance in business and life
18:24 - How to know you’re not in your sweet spot and what integrating better focus-connection balance requires of you

If your partner or spouse isn’t necessarily on board with your business ambitions, you’re not alone.
Lack of (emotional) support is a topic that comes up often for women business owners. In fact, it came up several times among attendees during my April mastermind retreat and even after everyone went back home.
Striking that balance (lacking a better word) between your role as a big-thinking business owner and your role as a relationship partner is challenging to find. But it’s not impossible!
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn eight reasons why your significant other can be unsupportive of you pursuing your business dreams. I’ll also teach you four things to do to resolve it and make the situation (and the conversation about it) a little easier for you both.
6:11 - Eight reasons why your partner might be opposing your business dreams and aspirations
18:26 - Four steps to create a balance between your big-thinking business ambition and happiness with your significant other
23:58 - What to do and what not to do when speaking with your partner or spouse about their support for your business dreams
26:30 - What your level of compromise in this situation will depend on and how to know you’re on the right track

There comes a point where you need to adjust your vision or shift what you’re doing. It often happens when you’re at a new growth stage in your business or when you realize your plans just aren’t working out.

How do you turn your vision into action?
Your dream doesn’t have to stay floating in your head as a nice thing to have. Creating an effective action plan is a foundational step in turning your dreams into tangible results.
Sometimes, though, you have to do things that seem a little wild. While SMART goals help give you direction, combining them with WILD goals helps you achieve a balanced approach to setting goals that also keeps you motivated.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear part one of session three at She Thinks Big Live and learn about how to create WILD goals and how they differ from SMART goals. Andrea will teach you why you need to embrace failure, align your actions with beliefs, adopt a “let it be easy” approach, and let fun be a critical motivator in your goal setting.
6:56 - Why you need to be willing to suck at something and fail
11:59 - What failure really is, what happens when you’re afraid you won’t succeed, and how to take the right action
18:44 - How you should feel about the goal you set and an example of overcomplicating things instead of letting them be easy
22:49 - Your reason for setting big goals and going beyond what you’re currently doing

Moving can be a nightmare!
You have to put your house on the market, find a new house to move into (or, in my case, wait for yours to finish being built), and juggle with where you’ll stay in the interim if necessary. In the meantime, you’re packing and unpacking, hemming and hawing over what to keep and what to throw out or donate, and so on. Oh, and you’re still trying to run the rest of your life and business, too!
But you don’t have to take it all on by yourself. You can even hire experts like Maria Baer to help you with unpacking, decluttering, and organizing everything! She owns the Indianapolis-based home organizing company The Baer Minimalist and really helped make the transition of moving into our new house easier. She also knows the value of having help--the personal support she provides for clients domestically she had to get for herself in her business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the benefits of having an organized home and its effect on other areas of your life. You’ll also hear about the perks of giving up control and decision-making power when necessary and how hiring out support helps Maria with work-life integration as a mom of two five-year-old boys.
1:41 - Maria’s introduction and how she helped make the move into my new house easier
5:38 - How Maria works with clients, the pros and cons of unpacking and organizing items, and why giving up control doesn’t have to be hard
10:33 - Why Maria loves organizing, how things function in her house, and the benefits of having an organized home
18:15 - Two things that prevent people from organizing their homes on their own
22:05 - How Maria’s journey working for other people’s businesses eventually led to the start of her own business
27:33 - How having support helps Maria balance working on her business and in her business (especially with two preschool boys)
34:39 - Maria’s speed round answers and the link between her donation guide and how she wants to be remembered

Think you don’t have time to complete your goals? Or that you always need to be striving towards something in any area of your life or business? Or that you can’t get into the habit of making time for yourself? Well, think again!
Stacie Simpson is a time and Full Focus expert and one of the coaches available to work with as part of my membership programs.

How did you imagine your life unfolding when you became an adult?
So many have hopes of a dream life when they graduate from school, get their first “real” job, or just move into a place of their own for the first time. Then they realize--five, ten, twenty years down the road--that they haven’t come close to achieving it. They stayed stuck in hope mode.
But your dream lifestyle doesn’t just create itself. You have to be intentional about creating the life you desire, and a life plan, along with some key principles, can help you do it.
At the She Thinks Big Live event, I shared the five key principles to create the lifestyle you want. In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear a recording of that session that reveals the keys and examples (including from my personal experience) of what their application can look like in your life.
8:38 - Choices you make and their impact on the lifestyle you want to have
15:30 - The importance of being honest about your personal needs
16:55 - What you need to define for yourself to help make your life better
18:12 - One thing you don’t want to blindly do to achieve the lifestyle you desire
19:33 - An example of how authenticity can help make things simpler

When you hear the words “strategy” and “plan,” do you think of them as synonymous? A lot of people do.
Certain topics keep coming up again and again in coaching conversations. Whether or not to utilize a certain marketing tactic, such as starting a podcast, is one of them.
But before you can answer that question, you need to have a marketing strategy and plan in place. And you need to realize how a strategy differs from a plan before you can create either one.
To help, Terri Fisher has returned as a podcast guest in her new guise as a marketing strategy expert. She lays out what having a strategy versus a plan means and how they work together to give you results.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn the definitions and differences between marketing strategies, plans, and channels and how to create them for your business. You’ll also discover what you need to know prior to coming up with your strategy, when’s the right time for you to strategize, and why people find marketing to be such a challenging thing.
1:30 - How Terri transitioned from working in professional services to founding her marketing strategy firm
5:54 - What having a marketing strategy means and two reasons why you need to write yours down
7:52 - What you need to know before you create your marketing strategy

What does it take to pull off a big event like a retreat?
There are a lot of moving parts when you want to hold something like She Thinks Big Live. But as a coach or consultant, you probably want to offer something more than just a grand experience. You want your guests to walk away with something tangible they can use to level up their business or life beyond the event.
Those who attended She Thinks Big Live last month walked away with a plan on how to create an extraordinary 2024. Planning the retreat required embodying big thinking in how to create and execute it successfully. As a result, I lived through the very principles I was sharing in creating the event itself.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at what happened in the days before, during, and after. I’ll walk you through the kind of deliberate planning that goes into an event like this and how the execution of my plan aligned with four key areas covered at the retreat.

How’s your marketing investment working out for you?
Many entrepreneurs get discouraged when their marketing efforts or hiring decisions falter, and they struggle to find the right clients as a result. But can the cause be tied to a lack of clarity on some aspect(s) of their business or a missing piece in their marketing altogether?
My podcast producer, Stacey Harris, often sees this with those looking to invest in marketing and support for their show. Today, she’s here to dig deeper and help you discover what’s going on so you can avoid more failed marketing efforts or new hires that don’t provide the level of results or quality of service you expect.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn what you need to know about your business before you invest in marketing or hire support. You’ll hear Stacey’s tips and recommendations for marketing your higher-end programs and services, why your leads from short-form marketing aren’t converting, turning marketing assets into sales assets, and much more!
4:07 - What you need to know before you can hire others to help you and why just getting more leads isn’t always the solution
10:04 - The importance of aligning your marketing with your offer and one thing you need to consider if you sell long-term programs or services
13:25 - A better way to use short-form marketing and the piece between lead generation and conversion that many entrepreneurs try to skip
17:04 - The consequences of not having (or being able to convey) clear ideas about what you want when hiring support for your business
19:53 - Why you should embrace being messy in the beginning and how your process can evolve
24:15 - Helping a client find the right messaging and advice for when you’re ready to start investing in support
30:09 - The benefits of having someone else ask you questions

Where do you start when building a new business? Or maybe the better question is, where should you start?
You always hear about action plans. You’re encouraged to think about step-by-step processes, timeframes, and so on.
But do you believe? Do you believe in yourself, your capabilities, your business idea?
You've heard me talk about the importance of having a belief plan on this podcast before. During the first session of the first-ever She Thinks Big Live event, three members of my Runway to Freedom mastermind came onstage to discuss this concept and how they’ve really embraced it.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear how Whitney, Rebecca, and Cynde formed their belief plans and what these plans really entail. You’ll also get a sense of the differences you can have in beliefs from others while still having the profitable, thriving business of your dreams.
6:54 - How Whitney, Rebecca, and Cynde first reacted to the concept of having a belief plan
11:41 - How getting support with your family can help you be a better leader and grow your business
15:29 - Is the same belief mindset necessary with everyone you hire? Or an understanding of your business from everyone in the family?
21:41 - Advice on how (and when) you should approach your belief plan for your business
24:33 - A few things from this mastermind case study session that I want to highlight

Do you worry about cash flow in your business?
Money is a topic that comes up over and over again in my coaching practice (despite, ironically, its apparent lack of popularity on the podcast). Regardless of any reticence to talk about money or listen to information on the subject, knowing your numbers is an integral part of business, and it goes beyond just profit and loss.
That’s why I integrate money mindset and money systems into my coaching programs. Today, I’m speaking with Nicole Cooley, one of the money confidence coaches on my team, who guides you with a holistic approach that combines your numbers with your values, beliefs, and dreams.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the top three pain points for business owners when it comes to their numbers. You’ll also discover the integral impact of your priorities and knowledge on your business’s finances and why you shouldn’t fear your numbers (even if they’re worse than you thought).
5:30 - Nicole introduces herself and reveals why she became a budgeting coach
7:17 - Why the “I’m not good with numbers” mindset isn’t true in almost all cases
8:29 - The pain point that can crop up once you start realizing what’s going on with your numbers
12:30 - Why bookkeeping is outsourceable but business cash flow management isn’t
14:05 - The missing piece you need in order to learn, understand, and make decisions with your business finances
15:26 - The importance of understanding your priorities and the growth opportunity or return on investment of your business expenses
20:24 - The distinction between bookkeeping and cash flow management to keep in mind

Do you see a big difference in yourself, your life, and your circumstances now than you did 20 or 30 years ago?
You might think that college-aged kids can’t yet contemplate worries and challenges on the same level as a 40+ year-old. But you might be surprised...
For the first time on the show, I’m interviewing one of my kids, along with two of her friends. And while nothing they said surprised me, I was intrigued to see the similarities between their struggles and those of older adults like my clients... and myself.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how their lives and some of their challenges as 19-year-olds are similar to older adults. You’ll also hear how their experiences as college students and their perspective on being a better parent are similar to running a successful business.
2:40 - What’s a typical Tuesday like for RL, MG, and KM
7:46 - What can we older adults learn from how they spend their weekends?
12:34 - What happens after 10:30 on a weekend night?
16:22 - What advice do they have for parents about prepping their kids for college and life away from home?
21:36 - What are their challenges? (MG has an interesting one involving her parents)
26:39 - The relationship between parent and child and their thoughts about forming romantic relationships right now
32:11 - What do they find most worrying and stressful about life immediately after college?
39:41 - A little game and what MG, RL, and KM want to be remembered for many years from now

Is your past self getting in the way of the future version of you?
Perhaps you’re allowing past choices to preserve a defeatist attitude about certain things. Or your past could be preventing you from challenging yourself in transformative ways that can create your future. And the worst part is you might be unaware that you’re punishing yourself in this way.
While the past can’t be changed, there is still something you can do about it. And it starts with an awareness of why you punish yourself in this way, how to recognize the signs, and how to stop so the “future you” can finally unfold.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about how the past can prevent you from accessing the big thinking you need to move forward. I’ll also give you examples of self-talk that signal you’ve been living in the past unknowingly and teach you how to stop punishing yourself for prior choices.
4:30 - Clues that you’re living in the past unknowingly
8:34 - How your emotional childhood impacts choices as an adult
13:23 - What you can change about the past and the biggest mistake people make with past events
17:42 - Ask yourself this about your past to uncover what’s preventing your access to the future

Are you one of the many people who aspire to turn their creative passion into a business?
You might love the idea of being the boss of your own creative business. Usually, those schooled in their creative craft aren’t taught how to run a business. So perhaps you’ve thought about it but haven’t gone through with it because of doubts about its profit potential.
What if you could see what’s it like to be the owner and CEO of a successful creative business? I invited four mastermind clients (Nicole, Holly, Whitney, and Tiffany) to talk about how they navigate the world of business as interior designers.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get a view of what it’s like to run a business and have a life that works for you as an owner of a creative business. These four women will teach you how they balance the need for client satisfaction and personal creativity, delegate tasks in their business, and more.
3:30 - How they meet the needs of their clients while also meeting their own needs as creatives
9:10 - What CEOs and business owners are and what these women find hard about embodying those roles as creatives

Over 50% of CEOs have felt loneliness at some point in their business journey. That’s according to one study, but the likely reality is that it affects many more than that.
Most people only see the illusion of success, not the hard work, sweat, and tears to get there. But there’s a loneliness that comes with being an entrepreneur bubbling underneath, too, and it can happen at any stage of your business.
Furthermore, if you let your loneliness linger, it starts impacting you as a wife, mom, friend, and so on. So the question is... how can you recognize these signs of loneliness and combat them?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how loneliness can show up for you in the three stages of entrepreneurship. I’ll also teach you how to put checks and balances in place so you can combat that loneliness and prevent it from negatively affecting other areas of your life.
3:54 - Why surrounding yourself with people who understand you as a business owner is key
9:46 - How stage one of loneliness looks and feels like for entrepreneurs
11:58 - Why hiring contractors or employees exposes you to loneliness of a different sort
14:12 - How success can lead to isolation in the third stage of entrepreneurial loneliness
17:00 - Three checks and balances you need to implement to recognize signs of loneliness

Do you say things like, “I don’t set goals. I avoid them. Goal setting is too hard and a waste of time”?
Lots of women say these kinds of comments to me on consultation calls when I ask them about their goals. In a previous episode released back in the summer of 2022, I referred to “anti-goalers.” Now, a year later, I have a more accurate perspective about those who might avoid or have trouble with goal-setting and why.
In this updated episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get to eavesdrop in on your own thinking about goals and learn which of two “anti-goaler” categories you fall into if you struggle with setting and reaching your goals. I’ll also teach you 10 reasons why women tend to avoid goal-setting in general.
5:45 - Do you have a bit of the “anti-goal” in you?
7:41 - The two categories you can fall into if you have trouble with setting goals you want
13:05 - What I want you to consider as you continue listening

Your business might be making money, but that doesn’t necessarily make your business a profitable one.
So many entrepreneurs feel reluctant to look at the numbers in their business. They may not find it fun or fear what they might see, so they just avoid it altogether.
But you need to know your numbers and what they mean in order to make the right decisions that’ll add to the bottom line without adding on stress, unnecessary debt, or even crumbling your business from within.
Ciara Stockeland helps her clients use their inventory to level up their business profits. And today, she’s back on the podcast to talk about all things numbers and cash flow!
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how to make decisions about sales and marketing in your business based on the numbers. Ciara will teach you how to avoid making the types of mistakes that lead to less profit and how to look at your numbers so you can increase profit and keep more cash.
2:42 - How Ciara went from a brick-and-mortar entrepreneur to a coach and consultant for inventory-based businesses
4:00 - Top three things Ciara sees business owners do that affect their lack of profitability

Do you need coaching... or do you need counseling?
Sometimes, people get coaching confused with therapy and psychiatry. While coaching has therapeutic elements, it isn’t (and thus can’t replace) therapy or counseling.
In a previous episode, you may have heard me talk about the difference between coaching and counseling. But I gave my point of view on it. Today on the podcast, you’ll get the perspective of clients who are entrepreneurs in the mental health industry who can speak on this better than I can.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the difference between coaching and therapy and how to discern which one you need. They’ll also discuss the benefits of therapists having a coach and why getting coaching is essential, even for mental health professionals.
5:20 - The difference between therapy and coaching and how to figure out which one you need
11:40 - Can someone be a therapist and a coach at the same time?
14:32 - How therapists (especially ones with a private practice) can benefit from coaching

“What’s great about being a mom and a business owner?”
You don’t hear that question often. You usually just hear how hard it is to do both and give equal time to the two roles.
I, however, did pose this question to recent mastermind retreat members. And their responses might change how you feel, what you do, and the results you get in motherhood and business.
Think it’s impossible? Just listen to their responses on the podcast and see how you can not only manage to make these dual roles work but also how each can influence you to be even better in the other role.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll hear about how these women are exercising one of the five essentials of big thinking as I put forth questions about the benefits of being both mom and business owner, balancing their roles, and how making decisions as mothers have influenced them in business. You’ll also learn whether there really is a better time than the present for a mom to start her own business.
5:08 - What each consider the best thing about being a mom who also owns a business
12:55 - How they balance the demands and responsibilities of both roles
20:15 - How motherhood has influenced their approach to business decision-making
27:11 - Starting, growing, and owning a business now vs. waiting for the kids to grow older

What is it really like to go on a business retreat?
You might experience the things that tend to immediately come to mind when thinking of the word “retreat.” Perhaps you have an image of cucumber slices over your eyes while getting a facial, or enjoying a massage at a spa, or tanning by the pool, or meditating on a beach somewhere.
But retreats with a specific focus offer something extra, something that can truly level up your life (and, in this case, your business). So what actually happens at retreats like the one for Runway to Freedom mastermind members?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn the four benefits of being part of a retreat like the one I offer. You’ll hear directly from some of the women about how they’ve benefited and what the experience is like, in their own words.

Being part of a group can fast track anything you’re working on or thinking about. Perhaps you’ve seen or heard of others joining group programs like a mastermind and raving about the experience and the benefits they received. Or you’ve thought about joining the Runway to Freedom mastermind.

You’d think celebrating success would be easy for everyone. But for many, if not most people, it actually feels unnatural. Why, though?
This question came up after the successful launch of my book She Thinks Big on Amazon. That launch frustrated me, and I couldn’t celebrate my win. So, after doing some exploring, I came up with a few causes for the lack of celebration and what you could do about it the next time you achieve a milestone.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn six reasons why it might be hard to celebrate your achievements and four ways to start celebrating right now while making it feel more natural to you. I’ll also reveal how I put some of these principles into practice and why my book launch was a negative experience initially.

An average person on an average day makes 35,000 decisions each day.
All those decisions--from major life changes to what to wear or eat in the morning--take time and energy and can really deplete you. And this can lead to what we call decision fatigue.
While there is some confusing science behind it, decision fatigue is a real thing. And I know firsthand how it feels in the body and brain, not just how it looks on paper.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how to identify and combat decision fatigue in your life. I’ll reveal examples of how I’ve moved through it over the last 18 months to show what you can do when faced with decision overload.

What if you could learn to appreciate the stress and the gifts (yes, gifts) it can bring?
When I started working with Kate Greunke (better known as Kate the Socialite) around six months ago, she hadn’t even been seeking out a coach. But feeling stressed out, she realized she needed coaching to help her work on certain things. And in the process, she learned to like stress in a strange way.
You’re probably thinking, “How could anybody like stress?” Well, Kate found out that she can push through it and that she also discovers new things about herself when she does. The same can happen to you if you approach it with different thinking.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how you can choose to handle stress and transform in the process. Hearing this conversation with Kate, you’ll learn the four things you need as a big thinker to help you adopt these principles into your professional and personal life as she has.
3:53 - An intro to Kate the Socialite and why she felt the need to hire a coach despite her success
9:53 - How Kate adopted the first key necessary for big thinkers by “trying on” different thoughts
15:33 - The real problem that big thinkers discover 99% of the time when they permit themselves to relax
23:48 - The third thing that big thinkers do and how it helps with expectations in your decision-making

You’re talking to yourself all the time.
Thousands of thoughts pass through your brain every day, and most of them are subconscious. But those are the ones that speak the loudest (despite you often being unaware) because they reflect your true beliefs about what you think about the world and of yourself...which then shows up physically in your life.
Whether you talk to yourself in an empowering or disempowering way is critical to your success. If you want to switch to empowered thinking, asking the right questions to your future self can create one magical sentence that’ll turn your life around.
Introducing... the power sentence! In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn the two-step method for creating your questions (i.e., Afformations). Then, I’ll teach you how to use those (along with the future you) to create your power sentence so you can bring the success you want into your reality.
2:03 - What does a power sentence do, and why do you need one
4:16 - The two things your quality of life really depends on (and how they relate to success)
5:06 - How to step inside the future version of you for crafting your power sentence
9:07 - The purpose of Afformations and how to use them to help create your power sentence
11:41 - The power behind asking yourself, “Why?” Questions
16:07 - How you benefit by switching from disempowering to empowering Afformations for success

Are you curious about transforming your interest in art into a true commitment as an entrepreneur, yet find it hard to believe you can have a successful art business?
Maybe when you were a child and got asked what you wanted to be when you grew up, you said you wanted to be an artist. Then, eventually, someone said something that put a damper on your dream, which still exists decades later.
The images of the starving artist, poor poet, or struggling actor run rampant in our culture. And it seems the existence of an entrepreneur who’s bucked that imagery and is making real money as an artist is rare.
Well, let me (re)introduce you to Michelle Capizzi, a current client and past guest on the podcast. Over the last couple of years, she’s taken her love of abstract art from casual interest to unwavering commitment and turned it into a thriving business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how Michelle went from interested to fully engaged in having an art business. Through this case study, she’ll teach you the big thinking mindset shifts she’s made, how she earns from commissions, the most important thing to do if you’re thinking about selling your art one day, and much more!
4:57 - How things have changed since the beginning of Michelle’s business
8:19 - Mindset shifts that had to happen for opportunities to appear for Michelle
13:37 - Struggles that Michelle still faces in her business and how she makes money from commissions
16:35 - Who Michelle’s ideal client is and the real magic of what she does
21:32 - How Michelle shifted into bigger thinking while making the leap from interested to devoted
22:53 - The first step to going all-in after being interested in starting your own art business
29:16 - What you shouldn’t worry about when starting an art business and how Michelle defines thinking big

It always starts with a meeting.
When you first get the idea for your business or want to revamp it or add something new, you plan a session to strategize. And you might be doing this alone.
But while meetings with yourself to strategically plan and think ahead are good, they aren’t the most effective way to strategize. If you want to be a big thinker and create growth in your life and business, you need a guide along for the ride.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the three reasons why meeting with others is better for you and your plans. I’ll teach you the value and benefits of strategizing with others and where I often see clients struggle the most.
3:22 - How meetings with yourself might differ from meetings with others
5:21 - Why you find yourself spinning your wheels after your solo meeting
9:30 - Why meetings with others open you up to bigger dreams you may not realize you have
13:39 - The second reason why communicating with others while strategizing is so important
15:52 - Why reason #3 for planning with others might be the best one of all
18:32 - The challenge you face even as things become super clear in meetings with others

Are you doing the things that’ll make your goals an inevitable reality?
You might have heard the saying, “You can achieve more by doing less.” And while that’s true, there is a catch.
You don’t want to do just for the sake of doing something to accomplish your objectives. Instead, you want to act from your zone of extraordinary achievement.
But how do you discover what yours is? All it takes is asking yourself a few questions and applying a few principles regarding the projects you want to complete.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how to find your zone of extraordinary achievement and get movement on reaching your goals in business and life. I’ll teach you the questions that help you discover your zone, the three principles to follow to get in it, and give an example of how to use my decision matrix from theShe Thinks Big toolkit to help you narrow down exactly what you want to do.

It all starts in your head.
Sometimes, you have the tendency to want to jump straight into action when you have a goal. But whatever you want to accomplish, you must go into it with the right mental attitude before you can bring it to life.

Here is Megan Hyatt Miller to the rescue! Megan is the president and CEO of Full Focus, and she and her dad, Michael, recently released a new book called Mind Your Mindset that details their system for creating the right mindset to achieve your goals. And all it takes is three steps!
So in this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn about their three steps for finding a way out of your self-imposed limitations.

Do you have a project you’ve wanted to do that’s been sitting on the shelf for a long time?
Oftentimes, you might get interested in doing something big like writing a book or creating a course. But then you leave it (perhaps even partly done) and never fully commit to it, with all sorts of reasons as to why you keep procrastinating.
It takes extraordinary commitment for big results to bring big thinking projects to fruition. But what exactly does it mean to have extraordinary commitment, and how do you achieve it for yourself?
In this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn about how to determine whether you're interested or committed to what you want to do. I’ll also teach you why extraordinary commitment is necessary and how to create it so you can finally move forward in your decision-making and get the results you want.

Every day, from the moment you get up, you have choices.
You’re making decisions on what to wear, what to eat, whether or not to stop at Starbucks on your way to the office (because you’re kinda running late already), how to respond when someone asks you a question or makes a comment, and on and on.

Imagine working for a company for almost 20 years when you decide to leap into entrepreneurship in your 40s.
It can feel like a scary proposition, but it’s exactly where my guest Aileen was 18 months ago when we met via a mutual friend. She’s a coach who has had great success in her business.
But she realized that she needed a coach herself to get to that next level because she was getting in her own way--not by small thinking, but by not thinking big enough. And that’s where I came in--to help her find the time, money, and brainpower freedom she wanted.
So in this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about how to go about unlocking your potential by thinking big enough in your business decisions. You’ll hear about developing a big thinking mindset for entrepreneurial success and overcoming fear and doubt through big thinking.

You know the old saying, “Everyone’s got at least one book in them”? So many entrepreneurs have a book (or line of books) published. And for many people, writing a book is a bucket item on their to-do list for life.
But if you’re a CEO, writing just any book for business purposes won’t do. You have to write the right one for you... and it also really helps to have the right publisher to help steer you on your journey.
My book She Thinks Big has been in the works since last June and is about to launch soon. And today, I have my publisher, Nicole Gebhardt of Niche Pressworks, on the podcast to discuss what it takes to write a book.
But Nicole is not like a traditional book publisher. She has an approach that helps your book help your business reach its greatest potential, and she’ll tell you how!
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll get an inside look into the process of writing a book and getting it published as an entrepreneur. Nicole and I will take you through my experience working with her and her team, the challenges and benefits along the way, and how this process (and the finished product itself) can help your business expand and impact your personal growth as a CEO.
3:33 - Nicole introduces herself and what makes her unique from other book publishers
5:33 - The hardest part of writing the book for me
9:17 - A big mistake most authors make that turns their book into dead weight
11:49 - Key questions to ask yourself before you write a book
14:06 - What it was like working with a mindset coach, storytelling expert, and editor during the writing process
20:06 - Building the process of how I intuitively work in my business inside the book
23:54 - An alternative approach if the idea of goal setting freaks you out

“What do you want to happen?”
When looking ahead years into the future, many people have a hard time answering that question. The only thing they see in front of them is the next one or two likely steps.But big thinking requires you to go beyond. And author, speaker, and coach Sarah Centrella is the perfect guest for this series on the podcast because she’s created a version of vision boards that take you beyond what you’re currently imagining you can have.
If you’re like me and have tried using vision boards before with little to no success, you’re probably thinking, “Oh no, not again.” But you’ll want to tune into this conversation to discover how Sarah’s unique approach has changed her life and can help you manifest your dream life and business.
In this episode of the Time to Level Up, you’ll learn what distinguishes her #FutureBoards from traditional vision boards. She’ll provide tips for creating your own #FutureBoard and reveal her unique perspective on how her process incorporates (and necessitates) thinking big.

It’s easy to believe there’s no real limit to the possibilities we can think up.
We’ve got new ideas and concepts coming into the world, like ChatGPT and sending people to the moon (or the ocean floor) as tourists. And who would have imagined these things 10, 20, 30 years ago?
Somebody did. It takes big thinking to spark ideas that can (sometimes drastically) change lives and even the world.
But what exactly is big thinking all about? What goes into it? That’s what my new book She Thinks Big is all about, and today you’ll get a few tidbits to get you started thinking big right now!
In this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn what big thinking is and what it looks like in action, with examples from some clients I’ve worked with. I’ll give you a bit of an outline of my book and teach you the three parts that go into big thinking so you can begin before it even launches.

You’re probably part of the 99.9%.
Something happens to 99.9% of women entrepreneurs that prevents them from moving forward with a project they’ve been meaning to get off the ground or investing in something they really want to invest in.
What is it? Simple: fear. And I’ve found that the scariest things for successful entrepreneurial women fall into three major categories: fear of the unknown, fear of failure, and fear of lack.
So how do you change the fear you feel? Conquering your fear starts with changing your thoughts, and the first step is to figure out what exactly your fears are.
As we start wrapping up our “Business Audit to Business Awesome” series on this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the nine common fears that fall into these major categories. I’ll dig a little deeper into each with examples in order to help you discover what fear, for you, might fall into which category.
2:05 - A recent discussion demonstrates how these fears affect everyone, not just entrepreneurial women
5:22 - The four common fears of the unknown (and how I’m feeling one right now)

According to a recent informal survey, people want freedom in four main areas: time, money, brain power, and relationships.
When you set out to start your own business, you were probably thinking about all the freedom and flexibility you’d have--being able to work when you want, choose your own pay rate, and take time off to spend with family when you feel like it. But as your business grows, you find out that maybe attaining those freedoms isn’t as easy as you thought it’d be.
So where do you need more freedom with time, money, relationships, or brain power? Let’s dive into and explore what comes up in these areas when you seek more of what you want in each.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn what these freedoms in these four areas really boil down to. I’ll also teach you about the Seven Whys game and walk through examples of how to use it to help you discover what you really want in each of these areas.
3:24 - The ultimate goal of seeking freedom in these four areas

Do you believe that you can grow your business beyond your wildest dreams within just a couple of years?
We’re talking about the kind of exponential growth beyond what you usually hear about in such a short time. It’s the kind that requires not just an evolution of your business but of yourself as well.
Cynde McInnis might not have been expecting to grow her revenue by ten within two years, but that’s exactly what she did! And she did it in a unique niche based on her lifelong love of whales and the ocean.
Since she started working with me in January 2021, though, she’s not only changed the ways she does business, but she’s evolved as a person as well! And that was the real key to unlocking such huge growth.
In this continuation of the “Business Audit to Business Awesome” podcast series of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn the vision, systems, and more that led to a ten-fold increase in Cynde’s revenue. She’ll take you behind the scenes and talk about the changes in her business and herself that has allowed her to increase the money she earns while still freeing up her time and energy.

Earlier this year, CNN anchor and host Don Lemon put his foot in his mouth.
He said that Nikki Haley, current U.S. presidential candidate, is not in her prime. Weeks after that ageist and sexist remark, he was let go from CNN.
But given that it’s my birthday month (I turned 51 on June 14th), it got me thinking. What is being in the prime of your life really all about? What’s the meaning of prime age?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn the many ways to consider what being in the prime of your life looks like. I’ll teach you a better way to define prime time and how you can figure out if you’re in yours (and if not, how to get there right now).
4:09 - Some definitions for what being in your prime is all about
5:37 - The one big issue with how many people think of their prime years
8:11 - Why being in your prime is actually continuous, not a one time thing
9:20 - What the prime of your life really should be

Do you have systems and processes in place to make running your business easier?
You might think you don’t need (or can’t use) systemization if you have custom offers for your clients. But systemizing and automation frees up your energy while allowing your business to flow more smoothly.
So if you’re not feeling the flow in your business, you really want to consider adding them. And I’ve invited systems expert Yvonne Heimann to this “Business Audit to Create Business Awesome” podcast series to dive into it today.
If you’re hesitant because you fear it’ll be too complicated or take up too much time, Yvonne has you covered! She’ll tell you how you can turn this seemingly scary, overwhelming, and time-consuming commitment into a simple strategy.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how to discover the systems and processes your business needs and how to put them into place. You’ll also find out exactly how systemization helps you and your team be more efficient and productive.
6:04 - One of the potential downfalls of system processes and automation
9:19 - Yvonne’s onboarding process and why she doesn’t systemize within the first six months of a business
12:46 - How do you know what systems you need to use?
16:55 - How simple it can be to systemize in your business (and an example of it in action)
21:57 - What happens for CEOs who systemize and automate (and how it benefited a food blogger client)
25:00 - Why you should talk to your team members when rolling out systemization
27:41 - Yvonne’s best human piece of advice and why she wrote her book

Summer’s coming. This is one of those times of the year when people get really busy. And ironically, when you’re already busy, you feel inclined to want to be even more productive, even start something new.
But the kids are home from school now. Your aging parents might need greater care. Or you might just be making summer travel plans. And as a mom, a daughter, a friend, etc., you want to be in the present with those you care about. You want that work/life balance you fear won’t achieve.
But what if you could shift your thinking to the whole idea of work/life balance? What if you adopted a new frame of mind to put less pressure and stress on yourself to pull away and focus on other things in your life?
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about three things you need to consider that’ll help you reframe the whole work/life balance concept. I’ll also teach you what helps you create what you’re looking for when preventing burnout.
7:44 - How striving for work/life balance can lead to burnout
9:38 - What you need to stop believing and forgive yourself for
11:18 - How fear gets mixed up in your attempts at work/life balance (and what it really means when it happens)

As humans, we tend to want to follow what’s been done before. But when you think outside the box, other people often want to talk you out of it or warn you away from it.
Let’s say you have a vision for who you want to serve in your business or how you want to structure it. But that vision is... unusual (perhaps even brand new) for your industry.
Jill Hart is a certified real estate specialist and real estate consulting company owner. For a while, she worked with various age groups. But she had a vision of specifically catering to senior citizens--helping them sell their homes and manage every aspect of their move more easily.
However, she realized that others in the industry couldn’t really see the value in her vision. So for the past two years, she and I have worked together, culminating in her senior real estate consulting company.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn through Jill’s story about how the determination to do things your way (no matter what others say) helps give you the business and lifestyle you really desire. She reveals how she acted on her vision so it could come to fruition and the internal and external obstacles she had had to overcome along the way.
4:09 - Jill’s journey as a real estate entrepreneur and why she wanted to work with senior citizens exclusively
9:04 - What giving yourself permission to outsource can allow you to do
14:35 - How focusing only a sellers helps Jill with business and lifestyle design

Dreaming and looking ahead kind of gets overlooked as a fluffy topic sometimes. Some people might even call it a little woo-woo.
But everything that exists now (or will exist in the future) started as a dream--a vision--for someone. The iPhone in your hand, the car you drive to and from the grocery store, even the chairs you sit in while working or watching TV--all of it was in the mind of someone like Steve Jobs before it became something you could experience in reality.
Not all visions involve the invention of revolutionary devices, of course. But having a dream drives us all when it comes to your life and business. What’s involved in creating a vision that’ll light you up and satisfy your soul?
While I’ve talked about visioning and thinking ahead before, today I want to talk about it in a slightly different way. So in this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn why goals and visions aren’t the same, how internal family systems can influence your relationship with your vision, what to do to make the achievement of your dream faster and easier, and much more!
3:49 - How a vision is different from a goal
5:56 - What is your vision for the future?
9:14 - How you think and feel about your dream
11:51 - Your relationship with your vision and the positives of sharing your vision
14:50 - Nurturing a healthy relationship with your dream
16:58 - What makes achieving your vision a whole lot easier
19:47 - What’s your dream going to be? (And what it doesn’t have to be)

In your business, there isn’t just you. There are the people you serve (your clients or customers), but there’s also your team (colleagues or employees).
Every person on your team is a reflection of your values. So you want to make sure you have the right people serving their roles. But how can you ensure you have the right people, and what do you do when you discover someone on your team who isn’t?
My podcast guest today, Nikki Lewallen Gregory, has a principle she calls “right people, right seat.” And in this continuation of the “Business Audit to Business Awesome” miniseries, she’s here to help you discover who the right people are for your business and explore what it means to have them on your team.
If you have the right people and can effectively leverage them, you create tremendous growth and way more freedom in your business. It’s the key to opening up more time, money, and brainpower than you might have otherwise.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about this team and leadership aspect of the people component of your business and how to discover and best utilize the important attributes of your team members. Nikki will also teach you what culture code is, why it’s such a workplace gamechanger and more!
3:33 - Nikki introduces herself by revealing her “why”
5:44 - How to ensure you’re working with the right people
10:58 - How Nikki describes corporate, business, and organizational culture

Have you noticed how magical band-aids are? A kid with a skinned knee will get one and all of a sudden the meltdown on the playground turns into fun and adventure on the slide again.
But kids aren’t the only ones who feel better after they get a band-aid. As an (adult) entrepreneur, you might feel the need to apply a band-aid whenever you encounter a problem in your business.
But here’s the problem: like the skinned-knee wound on a child, the injury (and the pain) is still there. You haven’t actually solved the problem. What you need is to stop putting band-aid solutions on business problems and instead get a long-lasting solution.
So in this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn scenarios where business owners often try to apply band-aids to problems and why upgrading to using duct tape isn’t the solution, either. I’ll teach you how to come up with solutions that fix problems and improve your business.
3:17 - Why you look to apply band-aids to situations
9:43 - A couple of examples of how you might apply a band-aid solution in their business
11:43 - Two areas where I see clients apply band-aids in their business
13:04 - What happens when you switch from band-aids to duct tape
16:09 - What really needs to happen when you experience business problems
19:05 - The impact when you rethink your whole process

Does the word “audit” conjure up scary images and feelings?
Audits can sound a little frightening (thanks I.R.S.). But when it comes to your business, it helps give you the clarity and confidence to know what you need to work or not work on.
Oftentimes on this podcast, you hear about the metrics, people, systems, and processes of successful business ownership. But what if it were presented in a way that provided you an overview of how it all ties together?
Let me introduce you to the “Business Audit to Create Business Awesome” podcast miniseries. I’ve been working on it for a year and am so excited to share it with you over the next few months in the form of guest expert interviews on Time to Level Up.

You’ll discover what you need to know about your offer(s), working in versus on your business, how to network more effectively and approach scaling your business, how your business intertwines with family even if you’re a solo entrepreneur, and so much more.

“Counselor, consultant, or coach? Help, I can’t decide!”
As a female business owner, you benefit tremendously from having coaching that focuses on both life and business. But you also have consultants and therapists available to help you, too, and picking between them all can get tricky.
So let’s clear up the confusion. How can you determine which one to choose (and when)? You need to know the difference between consulting, coaching, and counseling and how to evaluate yourself to know which one is right for you.
Today on the Time to Level Up podcast, I help make it clear by painting a visual picture that illustrates the point. Near the end of the show, I also provide a tool to help you reflect and further access what you need.
So in this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about all three's differences (and similarities). I’ll define the role of consultant, coach, and counselor and teach you to figure out which one to hire for yourself.
4:10 - How you might know right away which professional you need
14:52 - How coaches, consultants, and therapists come at situations similarly and differently
16:54 - How to access when you need to hire a consultant vs. a coach
20:58 - Figuring out if you need a counselor or coach (and a common misconception about coaching)
25:39 - What I do for you as a coach and my ideal coaching client
28:40 - The different focus, goals, and framework of counselors and coaches
32:42 - A tool to help you do a self-assess yourself and figure out what’s best for you

Are you investing in yourself the way you need to based on where you’re at right now?
You might be stuck in investing in industry or problem-specific coaching, which isn’t a bad idea. But the thought of exploring the option of life and business coaching together may not have even crossed your radar.
That’s where Emelie Russell found herself when I hired her in April 2022 to be my videographer for a live event I was doing. She’d invested in specific coaching for her profession but had never thought broader than that, until I asked her about it.
You might see a bit of yourself in Emelie. Within a few years, she took her wedding videographer hobby and turned it into a thriving six-figure business while growing her family of three kids. And today, she’s here to share how coaching has helped her shift her mindset and approach to her life and business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll see how coaching can help you redefine what work-life balance and asking for help looks like for you as a parent and entrepreneur. I’ll also teach you about the success triangle I use with a lot of clients and the three beliefs that, when added together, really show what you think you’re worth.
6:04 - How Emelie got into wedding videography and started it as a business while growing her family
10:44 - How Emelie’s relationship with her growing business shifted and impacted her as a mom
14:00 - The three components of the success triangle and the obstacle that got in Emelie’s way
18:49 - How things have changed in Emelie’s life with the mindset shift she gained from coaching
21:00 - How internal drama over a trip to Sweden showcased Emelie’s feelings about her worth
26:02 - How investing in herself helps Emelie’s clients and family (and can do the same for you)
28:31 - What Emilie’s gained from coaching and what she’d say to you if you’re considering it
30:20 - The question Emelie repeats to herself over and over that can help keep you on track

What would be possible in your business (or life) if you knew how to stop people-pleasing?
You’d feel less overwhelmed in your business. You’d be a happier person, too, in the long-run. And you might not even realize all the negative consequences that people-pleasing has on various aspects of your life. (Or maybe you’re painfully aware but just can’t seem to stop it)!
What you need is the real truth behind your people-pleasing tendency... a big picture view, if you will. I’ve discovered something that sheds light on this and am excited to share it with you on Time to Level Up.
What I discovered was a book by Amy Morin. Morin is a licensed clinical social worker and author. And in her book 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do, she discusses truths behind people-pleasing that offer an opportunity for you to finally break the habit.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn Morin’s five truths about people-pleasing and how the effects of it can show up in your life or business. I’ll also teach you four things you can do right now to get out of any people-pleasing tendency you’ve developed.
2:29 - What people-pleasing is really about
3:48 - Truth #2: the likability and respectability factor
4:45 - Why annoyance doesn’t equal dislike

There’s a difference between being a great leader in theory and actually being one in practice.
As a CEO, you face a lot of challenges that aren’t actually business-related or professional in nature at all. They’re just often disguised as such. But they’re really emotional challenges that require something to bridge the gap. That something is called “emotional courage.”
What does that entail, though? I’ve been exploring this idea of emotional courage in female leaders and came across best-selling author, emotional courage expert, and CEO advisor Peter Bregman in my research. According to him, it boils down to this: if you’re willing to feel anything, you can do anything.
In this episode of the Time to Level Up podcast, you’ll learn about what emotional courage is, what it looks like in practice with examples, and how it affects you in business and in life. I’ll also teach you about Bregman’s three elements to being a great leader and how you can start taking on those elements within yourself right away.
5:54 - How Peter Bregman defines emotional courage and its effect on your goals
9:31 - What happens when you try to stuff your emotions down
12:28 - The difference between feeling vs. expressing an emotion.
13:50 - Bregman’s three critical elements for powerful leadership (and why you need all three simultaneously to be a great leader)
20:20 - Ways you can develop each of Bregman’s leadership elements starting right now
26:13 - The approach to emotional courage that will make you unstoppable

Have you slacked off on implementing the ideas and plans you created for the new year by now?
The middle of March can be a difficult time to stay motivated. The anticipation of spring is in the air, and the last major break of the school year is just around the corner. You’re faced with all kinds of distractions as things suddenly pick up while winter makes its exit.
So how do you get yourself back on track? I have five mindset shifts or perspective changes that I want to share with you on the Time to Level Up podcast, so you can rev up your motivation engine.
Right now, you might be thinking, “Well, this’ll probably just be another thing I won’t feel motivated to do. Got a solution for that, Andrea?” Yes actually, and as you’ll soon discover, there’s a reason why our brain often defaults to thinking this way... and some things that kill your motivation if you aren’t aware of them.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about those motivation killers and five keys to staying motivated as a female CEO. I’ll also teach you a couple of things to keep in mind to help you re-motivate yourself.
1:38 - Motivation as an inside job
4:51 - What you can and can’t do for other people when it comes to motivation
7:32 - Your main job with motivation (and what helps you the most)

Do you feel like being a mom gets in the way of your business goals?
As a parent, you probably can’t help but feel that family should come first. But you might also be letting that thinking get in the way of the ambitious woman you want to be.
It doesn’t have to be impossible to go after your business dreams and be a mom, though! And today, I’ve invited a guest expert onto the Time to Level Up podcast who does it and helps mentor other moms to do the same.
CEO and author Nikki Oden knows how easy it is to lose yourself by putting family first. She walked away from a career in law to become a stay-at-home mom. But through trial and error, she discovered how to harmonize her ambitiously entrepreneurial self with parenthood.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about how to love yourself and your mom life a little more. Nikki will teach you the five key things you need to do to keep your sanity as a CEO mother and offer perspectives on guilt and self-care that might differ slightly from what you’ve adopted.
4:12 - When it’s okay for you to drop the ball
9:31 - Why feeling guilty is your choice

People-pleasing is kind of like a disease. You just want to excise it like a tumor.
You might people-please because you think others will like and accept you if you say yes to everything, but that really isn’t the case. Or you might not even be aware of your people-pleasing tendencies at all!
How do you know for sure, then, that you’re a people pleaser? Everyone is, to some extent, but some are more prone to it than others.
So in this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how to quickly identify the 10 signs of being a people pleaser. And as a preview for next week, I’ll also give you a quick tip on how to begin breaking out of this pattern, starting right now!

5:42 - Sign #2: You feel responsible for this.
7:32 - Sign #3: You’re an apologist in this way.

10:33 - Sign #5: You find it hard to do this with people.
11:35 - Sign #6: You feel uncomfortable when this happens.
13:22 - Sign #7: You act like a copycat in these situations.
15:44 - Sign #8: You need to receive this in order to feel good.
17:00 - Sign #9: You go to great lengths to avoid this situation.
18:26 - Sign #10: You can’t admit to someone how you really feel when this happens.

No longer just a girl dreaming of fairy tales, you’re an adult now with all the responsibilities that come with it. Those responsibilities might make you feel like you’re on autopilot mode, crushing your dreams of winning at work and at home in the process.
But what if you could stop the sabotage dead in its tracks and get back on track to fulfill the promise of being the successful businesswoman you desire? That’s what real dreams are made of!
You won’t have to sacrifice winning at home in order to thrive in business (or vice versa), either. Many clients who feared the same emerged with a new way of thinking and went on to finally start and invest in their business.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the three saboteurs I often see women entrepreneurs face. I provide examples from real-life clients who made the leap and finally went after what they want so you can see how these behaviors might be stopping you and course-correct yourself.
What’s Covered in This Episode:
2:49 - The #1 reason why I think women entrepreneurs don’t go after what they want
6:31 - Something that can still stop block you even if the first reason doesn’t apply
10:01 - How some entrepreneurs are trying to solve their problem and why it doesn’t work
14:06 - Which one are you?

I’ve been wanting to talk about something on this podcast for a while. But I’ve wrestled with how to do it. Over the holidays, I followed Peter Shallard (“The Shrink for Entrepreneurs”) who does it in a way I relate to. And now I think I can finally frame this discussion in an impactful way. So today, I talk about how women who want to start or invest in a business can get past the struggle that arises if they’re also in a relationship with someone who doesn’t approve of their ambition.
2:07 - The extra ingredient that needs to be put into the secret sauce of business success
6:36 - Women entrepreneurs I know who don’t do this fail quickly
10:03 - The risk-taking nature of entrepreneurship and the importance of a failure
13:17 - How a “cushion relationship” stops you from experiencing the entrepreneurial failures you need and the way to overcome it
20:00 - The difference between a cushion versus a “pillar relationship” and how it can put you on the fast track to insanity
24:04 - What you can do if you’re an entrepreneur in a pillar relationship

For many people, family comes first. But oftentimes, your brain likes to think that family and business is an either/or situation. You might think that being a successful entrepreneur gets in the way of being a “good” parent and, therefore, use it as an excuse for why you’re not striving or thriving in your business.
In this episode, I talk about why you can have both good parenting and a successful business and how they actually have a lot in common.
3:22 - Limiting beliefs about being a good parent that can impact your entrepreneurship
6:00 - What does it mean to be a good mother/parent?
12:33 - The evolutionary principle that motherhood and entrepreneurship share
16:27 - A qualification you don’t need to be a good mom or entrepreneur
18:08 - The fear factor behind your drive for successful motherhood and business
22:01 - What moms and entrepreneurs tend to do vs. what they should do when it’s time to make decisions
24:53 - Negativity bias and how it impacts us emotionally and cognitively
30:13 - The three things you need to be a good parent and entrepreneur

There comes a time when people start to question this whole entrepreneurship thing. They fear that it’ll interfere with their family. Or they think they’re not good at it and would be better off just getting a job, because owning and running a business has so many moving parts to it. In this episode, I reveal seven things that I feel define what being a successful entrepreneur looks like.
3:49 - What Google has to say about being a successful entrepreneur
5:54 - First thing I think an entrepreneur needs to be successful
7:33 - This 2nd characteristic allows you to get things done both personally and professionally
9:57 - An attribute that lets you continue having the drive you need when something fails
11:45 - Entrepreneurs whose business survived COVID had factor #4 going for them
13:47 - The 5th quality of a successful entrepreneur (and why I’m always shifting my business)
15:40 - The attribute you’ll want when circumstances around your business change
17:11 - Final factor of a successful entrepreneur
21:03 - Quick recap of all seven things a successful business owner needs

We’re in the letdown season now. Most people have given up on their New Year’s resolutions by this point. And when it comes to entrepreneurs quitting, I find that it’s often not because of anything to do with their business but with what’s going on elsewhere in their lives.
You only have so much energy to devote to your business. It, and life generally, can be complicated and exhausting. So in this episode, I talk about the relationship between building a life and building a business and the part your energy plays in both.
5:38 - Why people quit before they reach their goal
7:41 - The noise in your head that you need to turn the volume down on
10:08 - What to turn the volume up on instead
14:13 - What has an impact on your success and your ability to avoid shiny object syndrome
18:14 - Why your life should resemble this kitchen tool
22:43 - Why I believe a lot of women want to become entrepreneurs
24:49 - The question to ask yourself to avoid getting trapped in a business you hate
27:58 - What if your business feels like a job to you?
31:00 - The thing to seek out when you go through some life transition

Business owners always face the same problem of too much to do and too little time in which to do it. It contributes to you working on instead of in your business, spending time on things that don’t actually matter and eventually burning out.
You won’t grow your business that way, obviously, so what’s the answer? It lies in the systems you use. In this episode, I talk about what a system is and how to create one, how it benefits you, what you can systemize, and give examples of systems I feel all entrepreneurs need.
3:32 - The four attributes of a system and an example of one many people use
5:40 - The four benefits of using systems in your business
7:24 - What can you systemize? How do you figure out what to systemize?
9:24 - A simple process for creating a system you need in your business
12:04 - Some systems you might need as an entrepreneur

I’m all about a good business plan. But unlike many, the ones I do with my clients don’t focus on action. Actions aren’t even the starting point to getting you on the road to success.
In this episode, I explain why you should spend as much (if not more) time figuring out and solidifying your beliefs than creating an action plan.
2:58 - Why I advocate throwing away your to-do list in favor of a thought list
5:05 - How to know that you don’t really believe in what you do
6:45 - What to do as you consider your goals for the new year
9:27 - What makes your success inevitable (and lack of success explainable)
12:51 - Examples of how you can spiral into a cycle of fixing a problem that doesn’t exist

As children, we expect our parents and caregivers to provide for us. In romantic comedies and fairytales, we see one partner “completing” the other or as the Prince Charming saves the princess from the evil witch playing on the screen. Even in the coaching world, there are clients who think the coach will fix everything!
So many of us are conditioned to think that other people will fulfill our own needs. But that’s our responsibility! In this episode, I reveal the four-step process to meet your own needs and explain why doing so is much better for the people you’d otherwise rely on.
4:52 - Why your higher needs are a gift
7:46 - Why you shouldn’t expect other people to meet your needs
10:59 - Why taking ownership of your needs is one of the kindest things you can do for others
12:41 - Step one of meeting your own needs, pay attention to your dirty plan
16:27 - Step number 2 of meeting your own needs is about welcoming the knowing
20:49 - The third step to meet your own needs, hold space for the solution to what you need to come to you
26:27 - The final step and how it can inspire you going forward

“What do you do?” You’ve heard that question quite a few times in your life, right? When it comes to what I do, people want to know what business coaching is and why entrepreneurs need it. In this episode, I offer a couple of my thoughts on how I approach business coaching and why it’s necessary.
But I don’t want you to just take my word for it. I’ve also invited one of my clients to explain. Cresta is a financial advisor and she reveals what our business coaching relationship looks like so you can get a sense of what it’s like to work with me as your coach.

In the beginning, there is chaos. The startup stage of your business is a time of excitement but also confusion. As you try to get it off the ground, you feel uncertainty about your next steps, your offers, your marketing, etc. You experience bumps in the road that can encourage you to give up and burn the whole thing to the ground.

If I told you I could guarantee your success, would you believe me?
Here’s why I feel confident guaranteeing your success: it’s not about a class, program, or anything else outside of you that’s going to help you create what you want, it’s about you.
This episode is all about going after something and getting it, or in other words, creating the life you want. However you look at it, this process is all about getting results. I’m sharing the five mental shifts that guarantee success as you go after what you want.
As you listen to the examples in this episode, you’re going to think that some of them don’t apply to you, but stick with me because they all illustrate a concept that I want you to understand.
Before you tune in, think of one thing that you’re trying to create or one result you’re trying to achieve. I want you to keep that one thing in mind as you listen.
Do you have what it takes to create your own success? I think so.
2:38 - Three mini-stories to show why you have to make things happen instead of waiting for them to happen for you
12:03 - What you block out or don’t hear about in overnight success stories
17:50 - Do this before you decide on something (i.e. a lesson my dad taught me)
19:34 - The question you ask that signals your unwillingness to take as long as necessary to create the result you want
24:05 - Why you have to create your own version of success
28:32 - What will keep you in stuck stress mode and get in the way of growth
32:52 - What the result you want to create isn’t intended to do for you

By this time of year, you’re probably craving a little freedom. You’ve just spent the summer trying to find ways to entertain and keep your kids occupied. And now, they’re back in school (or will be soon).

4:05 - Why more accountability actually equals more freedom

Entrepreneurship can feel like a lonely journey, as can motherhood and even marriage sometimes. It can often seem like you’re in a race nobody else is even aware is happening. You can talk to family or friends about business or parenting or relationships and they’ll not understand where you’re coming from.
That’s why we crave to be a part of a group and why I offer coaching in group-based containers. In this episode, I talk about the importance of not going it alone and what being part of a group can offer you.
5:25 - Who popularized the idea of a like-minded community
10:23 - Seven ways a group or community can benefit you personally and professionally
24:59 - What happens when you’re not part of a group

Stress happens. However, it’s often the symptom instead of the cause of what’s going on in your mind. You can use your stress productively to create progress, but before you do that you have to recognize if you’re in stuck stress mode.

10:55 - Three reasons why you’re in stuck stress mode

I’ve used planners and systems to help me plan for pretty much all of my adult life. I had one of those skinny pocket planners that were once all the rage and even was an early adopter of the Palm Pilot from the 90s. For the last few years, though, I’ve fully embraced The Full Focus Planner system.
In this episode, I discuss how this system can allow you to plan, schedule, and raise your productivity and happiness with whatever you choose to do on a consistent basis.

7:35 - Pain points you might experience as you strive to create a life you really love

We want everything to be easy, comfortable, and efficient. Organization aligns with all three, but getting organized requires clear thinking. Your mind itself has to be clear and organized enough for your life and business to follow. If so, then you’ll be way ahead of most people. In this episode, I walk you through a metaphor for the brain I like to use to explain why clear thinking is so incredibly valuable.
5:30 - The effect of an organized mind on the planning process
9:34 - What actually creates memories and why your memories are fluid choices
12:34 - The subconscious thoughts you should look at and a better way to think of judgment

Are you part of the anti-goal brigade? Do you say things like, “I don’t set goals. I avoid them. Goal setting is too hard and a waste of time”? I hear these kinds of comments a lot when I ask about goals on consult calls.

“I just need to plan more.” Do you really, though? Regardless of the time of year, I often hear people say this. But I think the real answer lies in figuring out what, when, and where you want to direct your attention. Today, I share the differences between plans and schedules and how they go together in helping you figure out what you want to attend to.
We’re talking about this now, in the middle of summer because as we move into fall, you’ll crave a fresh plan and schedule. You may even believe you’ll be happier, and that everyone in your household would be happier. This is 100% possible.

How long does it take you to make a decision and act on it? Maybe a little too long?
In this episode, I’m teaching you how to go through a high-value growth cycle that will help you make decisions, implement them, and evaluate them to create more and more breakthroughs in your life and business.
When you experience growth, you always go through the messy middle stage. This is when things feel really hard and like nothing is going to work out. On the other side of the messy middle is a breakthrough, but you have to push through to reach it. How much easier would that be if you had a process to follow? That’s what I’m sharing with you in this episode.
If you’re struggling to make decisions, it’s probably because you haven’t made enough of them. Like any skill, decision-making gets easier with practice, so let’s practice! I'm describing what a high-value growth cycle (or breakthrough cycle) looks like and how completing these cycles moves you towards the results you want.
If you want to create more breakthroughs, this is for you.

Do you have a goal that you’re struggling to reach?
Here’s a question that might help: where are you starting from? If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, it’s going to be almost impossible to plan how to move forward. You have to know where you’re starting from.
In this episode, we’re talking about why it’s so important to figure out your starting point, why this step is so often overlooked, and how to do it. I want you to get crystal clear on where you’re at right now so that you can begin to grow.
I’ve noticed that this is a highly underestimated part of developing and growing as a human, so maybe you’ve never even thought about it before. And that’s okay because we’re going to start with the basics! Everything you need to know is in this episode.
It’s important to note that this is not about judging yourself for where you’re at, but fully embracing it. There’s nothing wrong with where you are right now.
If you’re not sure where you’re at right now, this episode will help you figure it out.

How often are you dismissing your options before you even have a chance to explore them?
This episode is a guide to accessing all your options. When you’re on autopilot, your brain is going to accept the options that seem realistic, familiar, and safe. In order to actually explore all your options, you have to make a choice to pause and engage your higher brain.
You have to be willing to ask yourself important and powerful questions to even begin to see all your options. In this episode, I’m taking you through the process of searching for options and ideas so that you can see what it takes to go beyond the easy answers and find out what’s really possible for you.
If you want to find out what options are available to you, don’t skip this episode.

In a perfect world, what would you really want?
This is one of the most important things for you to know.
Knowing what you want is very different from knowing what you think you can have. Usually, I have to ask my clients what they would want “in a perfect world.” Only then do they dare let themselves dream about what they really want. I’m here to tell you that it’s okay to want what you want. I’m teaching you how to let go of your inhibitions and dare to dream big.
I have seen so many women hide their truest desires from themselves and I don’t want you to be one of them.
Tune in to this episode and together we’ll find out what you really want.

Do you find yourself dreaming about what the next level of your success might look like, but you have no idea how to actually get there? Do you worry that when you do achieve that success that something else in your life might fall apart as a result? Are you constantly left wavering because of this?
Well, the solution you are searching for is so simple that I covered it in the very first episode of the Time to Level Up Podcast, and I am replaying it this week because this solution is still one that so many people need.
In this episode, I talk all about how different emotions give us different results, the importance of letting go of doubt and second-guessing when it comes to your potential, and finally, why commitment is all you need to get what you want out of your business and your life.
Ultimately, it is our feelings and emotions that fuel the actions that lead to our success. If you are ready to move forward, make money and manage life so that you can finally reach your big goals, tune in and take notes!

How do you feel when someone misinterprets something you said or puts words in your mouth?
Miscommunication can be frustrating, but it can be completely avoided, so this episode is all about confident communication.
I’m teaching you how to confidently communicate with your spouse, boss, coworker, client, or neighbor without hurting anyone’s feelings or being misunderstood. The most important thing to know is that there are four parts to a conversation: what you say, what you mean, what the listener hears, and what they make it mean. I’m explaining each of these things and the role they play in confident communication as well as sharing some examples so that you can see them in action.
I want you to walk away from this episode feeling confident in your communication skills and ready to start speaking up more because you’re not afraid of being misunderstood.
Tune in to level up your communication right now.

What does vulnerability have to do with confidence?
I've been thinking about how lack of confidence shows up for me and my clients and I wanted to explore it with you in this episode of the podcast.
I did some research on the connection between confidence and vulnerability, and I found that Brené Brown has identified 4 ways that we try to avoid vulnerability. I’m sharing these 4 things in this episode and talking about what they mean for our confidence and success.
At the end of the day, when we try to avoid vulnerability, we cut ourselves off from so many experiences and opportunities to find joy. It takes being vulnerable to have the confidence to put yourself out there and see what happens. Do you have what it takes? I think you do.
If you’re ready to get vulnerable, tune in.

How does confidence compare to motivation?
We always feel like we need to be more motivated to get more done and stick to our goals, but what if that’s not true? I want to show you why confidence is the key to success, not motivation.
This episode is all about understanding the human brain. Our brains are wired for survival, so if you can understand the basic survival instincts in your brain, you can use them to your advantage.
I’m walking you through how the different sections of the brain function at different levels and the three survival instincts that motivate your actions.
I’m here to help you understand how the brain works, figure out why it’s not just about motivation, and unlock your confidence.
If you could use a little more confidence, this is for you.

How do you fall in love with failure?
If you read that and thought “why would I want to fall in love with failure?” then keep reading.
Often we avoid doing something because we’re scared to fail. I bet you’ve put things off in the past because you were worried about what the result would be, but guess what? If you never do the thing, you won’t get any result at all. Failure is the key to success. I know without a doubt that you’ll experience success so much faster if you embrace failure than if you don’t.
This episode isn’t about how not to fail but how to fail well and experience failure in a positive way. Are you up for the challenge? Let’s get started.

How often do you have good intentions that don’t end up working out?
We often have intentions to do or create something but our expectations or the expectations of others get in the way.
How do we stop that from happening? That’s the question I’m answering in this episode. We’re talking about what it means to have intentionality, the intersection of intentionality and expectations, and how to stop letting your expectations get in the way.
If there was nothing standing in the way of you and your intentions, you’d be unstoppable! Let’s make that a reality. Tune in to get started!

How do you set aside your limiting beliefs?
That’s what I want to help you achieve in this episode. A lot of people believe that they can’t be happy in multiple areas of their lives at once. If one thing’s going right, another must be going wrong.
I don’t believe that. I believe that if you know how to reframe your thoughts, you can achieve happiness in any and all areas of your life. In this episode, I’m teaching you how to evaluate and reframe your limiting beliefs so that you can live your life the way you want.
I’m sharing 6 steps to set aside your limiting beliefs. I want you to think of a limiting belief that you’d like to change and take the time to sit down and go through these 6 steps. If you follow the process in this episode, you’ll see for yourself how it can transform your life.
If you’re ready to leave your limiting beliefs in the dust, tune in now.

Why am I telling you to complete your past? What does it even mean to complete your past?
This episode is all about learning and moving on from your past so that you can create a better future.
If you’re human, you’ve faced some setbacks and made some mistakes in your life. The good news is that that’s completely normal! The bad news is that if you get hung up on those mistakes and stuck in the past, you’ll never move forward.
Here’s something I’ve learned: you experience what you expect. That means that if you’re living in the past, you’ll experience the past, and it will never end. To move forward, you have to complete your past.
In this episode, I’m explaining what I mean when I say “complete your past” and sharing some key questions that you can ask yourself to help you do it. I’m sharing my own answers to these questions with you so that you can hear some examples and better understand what this process might look like for you.
If you’re ready to start creating a different future rather than repeating the past, this episode has everything you need to get started.

Do you believe in luck?
I believe we create our own luck, and in this episode, I’m explaining why.
How often do people tell you things like “you’re so lucky you get to work from home,” “you’re so lucky to be doing something you love,” or “you’re so lucky to be at home with your kids”?
I know they mean those statements as compliments, but here’s the thing: you’re not lucky, you worked to be able to do those things. You created your success. It didn't just fall into your lap.
I’m talking about this in more depth in the episode and sharing three small actions that you can take to create your own luck.

How often do you find yourself looking to others for permission to do something?
In this episode, we’re continuing our discussion around worthiness by talking about giving yourself permission.
As women, we have been socialized to undermine our own authority and look outside ourselves for direction. We’ve internalized the message that we shouldn't trust our own opinions. It’s time for you to break that cycle and I’m showing you how in this episode.
Giving yourself permission is such a powerful tool because it frees you to do the things you want without feeling guilty.
Everyone’s brains are different, so I want you to pay close attention to your own thoughts and feelings to see how this discussion on permission applies to you.
If you want to stop seeking external validation and start trusting yourself, tune in to this episode.

What is imposter syndrome?
Imposter syndrome is not something you’re born with, and it’s not something you acquire, so how do you get it? Imposter syndrome comes from your thoughts about yourself, and it usually creeps in over time.
A lot of people that I speak to know that they have imposter syndrome but they don’t know what to do about it. Does that sound like you? If it does, you’re going to hear some ideas in this episode to help you change your thinking and overcome imposter syndrome.
I’ll warn you now, change doesn’t happen overnight, but if you do these simple things consistently, change will come.
Imposter syndrome can creep in at any time, so this episode is important no matter where you’re at right now.

Do you tie your productivity to your worth? A lot of us do.
This can show up in a lot of different ways. Maybe you tell yourself you’re a failure because you didn’t get any new clients this month. Maybe you tell yourself you don’t deserve downtime because you haven’t spent enough time working. I want to teach you to change your thinking so that you can stop mixing your self-worth up in your work.
When you tie your self-worth to your business value, you start to make things in your professional life mean something in your personal life. In this episode, we’re talking about how to separate the two so that you can improve your self-worth and create more value in your business!
I have created a series of episodes centered around worthiness and value, so if you like what you hear, be sure to stick around for the next one!

How can you align all aspects of your life with your goals?
The answer is simple: by getting confident in your decision-making.
Decision-making is a foundation from which to create growth, eliminate overwhelm, get control of your life, and start doing things that align with your goals. It allows you to create a runway to freedom.
In this episode, I’m giving you five reasons that you don’t make confident decisions and four reasons that you should. This episode will show you how you are over-complicating your life by putting off making decisions. Once you stop doing that, you’ll have more time, confidence, and energy to create the life you want.
If you find yourself constantly putting off making decisions, this episode is for you.

How do you create growth in your business without hustling even more than you already are?
When my client and guest in this episode, Whitney Vredenburgh and I first met, she was feeling pretty overwhelmed in her business and at home. Over the past eight months, we created a new operating system for her business and created a new operating system for her home as well.
Whitney is a mom, wife, and owner of Nested Spaces. She has four kids-Ainsley (9), James (7), Isabelle, and Edward (both 4). Whitney began her career in agriculture and held various roles in marketing, communications, sales, and customer service for 9 years before starting Nested Spaces. After moving to Indianapolis in 2014, Whitney began exploring opportunities outside of the corporate world and had always been intrigued by home staging.
Nested Spaces is a home staging and design business based in Indianapolis which began in 2016. It serves the greater Indianapolis area providing home staging services and design services to realtors, builders, and homeowners. Nested Spaces has staged more than four hundred homes. The warehouse is located in Park 100 on the northwest side of Indy.
By focusing on one thing at a time and getting a grip on the data in her business, Whitney was able to create more margin in her business and life and see great results, so we are talking about how she did all of this and how her mindset has shifted over time.
Listen in closely to this episode with Whitney and think about the elements that we have dissected together over the past eight months and then ask yourself if this is something in your business that is worth taking a look at too.

What do you need to do to get a grip on your business and level it up?
Oftentimes, when we come to the end of a season, we take some time to pause and reflect on what’s working, what’s not working, and what needs to be done differently. I like to call this “getting a grip.”
I wanted to make this episode to talk about some of the things that female business owners need to get a grip on in order to get to the next level.
There are six key components that every healthy business needs and five things that keep us from implementing them. I’m sharing all of them in this episode so that you can figure out which ones you’ve mastered and which ones you need to work on.
This episode will also help you assess whether you have all the tools in your toolbox that you need in order to show up as your best self!
If you feel like there’s confusion amongst your team, time is being wasted, or goals aren’t being met, this episode is for you.

Why is it important to know your numbers?
Maybe you’re not a numbers person, so you don’t worry too much about that side of the business. As long as you’ve got the basics covered, you’re good, right? I think you need to know more than just the basics in order for your business to thrive, so I invited a special guest onto the show to help me explain why.
That’s right, in this episode we’re talking all about numbers.
Our guest expert, Ciara Stockeland, breaks things down in a simple, non-scary way so that you can understand your numbers without being intimidated or overwhelmed. She’s teaching us how to get to know your numbers without being a bookkeeper or accountant.
Ciara Stockeland has owned and operated businesses since her early teens. As a serial entrepreneur, her business mindset and tenacity led her to open her first store, Mama Mia, a high-end maternity store located in Fargo, ND, in 2006. Shortly after, she developed and opened MODE, a designer outlet store located next to Mama Mia. In 2008, Ciara chose to merge her two concepts into MODE and developed the concept into a franchise. Her vast experience in both retail and wholesale industries led her to launch the first to market wholesale subscription box for boutique retailers, which she built and sold within 18 months. Most recently Ciara has launched the Boutique Workshop, a coaching program for retailers.
Ciara has been recognized as a Small Business Champion through SCORE and most recently was awarded the Outstanding Franchise Small Business Award. She is active with SCORE, the largest network of expert business mentors across the nation. Through her coaching program, the Boutique Workshop, Ciara strives to motivate boutique owners to dream big and build simply.
Whether you’re a business owner or not, come learn how to improve your life by knowing your numbers!

Do you feel like you don’t know where your money is going? Do you feel like you never spend any money on yourself and yet your savings never grow?
Our special guest, Kendall Hamilton, knows exactly how to break that cycle, so she is joining me in this episode to cover all things money.
Money is one of our most valuable resources, so I think this is a worthy topic to bring a guest expert on the show for. Kendall has a way of making it all seem simple and not stressful. She believes that you can meet your financial goals without having to live in scarcity.
In this episode, she’s introducing you to some of the mindset issues that are holding you back from meeting your financial goals and showing you how to overcome them.
Kendall is a money empowerment coach helping $100k earners pay off debt fast and grow a savings account they can be proud of. After paying off $30,000 debt in just 12 months (while vacationing in multiple destinations), Kendall realized that she didn't have to cut expenses to get ahead with money. She aims to help her clients create a healthy relationship with money that results in a massive transformation of their finances, including thousands of dollars in debt paid off, thousands of dollars saved, and more confidence than ever in their finances.
If you want to find out how you can pay off your debts, grow your savings account, and still live the life you want right now, this episode is for you.

What if working towards your habits could be something that you enjoyed instead of something that feels like a burden?
Some habits can be hard to make or break. Maybe sometimes you’re successful at creating a habit in one area but not in another. Why is that? Turns out, it’s probably because you’re focusing on the wrong thing.
When you’re working on a habit, the focus is usually on changing an action, but in this episode, we’re tackling the thoughts and feelings behind those actions.
I’m sharing five key principles that you need to know before working on your habits.
When you understand and practice these five things, creating habits will come easily. Don’t believe me? Try it yourself!
Tune in to get started.

I’m sitting down with Binie Klein, a life coach and one of my lovely clients.
She’s sharing what makes coaching so meaningful from the perspective of a coach and client. Binie wanted to get coaching to make her life and business better, but along the way she was also adding tools to her toolbox to be able to face any challenge that came her way.
She learned how to manage her mind and change her thinking so that she could walk away from any situation saying, “I got this.”
Binie is a certified life coach who is passionate about helping professionals grow their careers and reach their goals while maintaining a work-life balance. She believes that you do not have to choose between financial success, quality time with family, strong relationships with friends, and time for yourself. She specializes in time management, work-life balance, productivity, navigating change, building confidence, and setting achievable goals.
Prior to launching her coaching practice, she earned her bachelor’s in psychology and spent five years in the nonprofit world helping others reach their goals and make a difference in their lives, all while raising her baby and working towards her personal aspirations. She now offers a full range of services from 1-on-1 coaching to workshops, team trainings, and keynote speeches on the subjects of goal setting, time management, mindset, and work-life balance.

How often do you find yourself thinking, “I just can’t seem to catch a break”?
We’ve all had those weeks when everything goes wrong and it feels like the universe is out to get you. Sometimes it drags on and you start to wonder if it will ever end. The pandemic has felt like that for a lot of us. In this episode, I want to help you break that cycle.

If you feel like you’re out of control of your life, always thinking negatively, stuck in a loop, or all three, The Model is going to change all of that for you.

What does commitment look like to you?
This episode is all about commitment vs. attachment. I’m walking you through my definitions of each one, how they relate to each other, and why you want to be committed rather than attached.
Being attached to certain outcomes takes away your control and leads to feelings of failure. Detaching from outcomes and choosing to be committed to your goals puts you back in control. You get to feel successful and fulfilled right now, you don’t have to wait to achieve a certain outcome.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to show up as a more committed you who is not attached to outcomes and is free to feel however you want.
If that sounds like a dream, tune in.

What do you do when life feels out of control? What if you had a tool that you could use time and time again to get yourself back on track?

What does buffering mean to you?
There are a few ways that we can define it. When it comes to moving furniture, buffering protects two surfaces that are rubbing up against each other. When two people don’t get along, they might need someone to be a buffer between them. When you’re waiting for something to download on your computer and you see the little spinning wheel on your screen, it’s buffering to check that it’s safe to proceed.
We use buffers in our lives as ways to avoid negative experiences and emotions, but they are usually problematic in the long run. They are just ways of escaping instead of taking action.
This episode is about what buffers really are and how we can stop relying on them. If you eliminate the buffers in your life, you are going to have more time and be more productive. Who doesn’t want that?
If you want to stop tolerating and avoiding and start taking action, tune in.

What is stopping you from taking action?
In this episode, you get to hear Day 2 of my From Overwhelmed to Accomplished Masterclass.
On Day 2, we talked about why you're not taking action. The reason you don’t take action is because of how you feel, and how you feel is triggered by your thoughts.
I’m sharing seven thoughts that lead you to not take action and teaching you how to change those thoughts. These seven thoughts stop you from accomplishing your goals, so it’s time to understand them and kick them to the curb.
I’d be willing to bet that at least one of these things is something that you think, so you’re not going to want to miss this episode.

What kind of stress are you in?
Is it “stuck stress” or “progression stress”? If you don’t know the difference, don’t worry, I’m telling you all about it in this episode.
If your stress isn’t serving you, you have the power to change it, and I want to help you access that power.
In this episode, you’re going to hear some of the audio from Day 1 of my recent masterclass: From Overwhelmed to Accomplished.
Day 1 was all about how to move from confusion to clarity. When we are in a state of confusion, we are often stressed. Figuring out what type of stress you are experiencing allows you to identify what you need to do to move forward.
If you feel stuck in your stress and you’re not sure how to get out, this episode is going to be perfect for you.

Should you apply for the job you feel underqualified for? Should you leave the job that makes you feel secure?
These are the types of questions that I wanted to ask my go-to gal for all things talent, recruiting, and career, Jacqueline Martinez. What better way to pick her brain than to invite her to be on the podcast? Jacqueline is a Career and Human Design Coach at Off the Record. She is also a mom, wife, business owner, HR leader, athlete, podcaster, and speaker.
There are three main questions that I’m asking her in this episode: Do you really need all the credentials listed in a job posting? What should you do if you’ve stayed in a job out of fear that you won’t be able to find the flexibility that you currently have? How do you ask for what you really want?
Whether you’re the one thinking about looking for a new job or you’re trying to hire someone for your team, this episode is going to be super helpful to you.

Can I share a little piece of my life with you?
I want to walk you through a morning of my life that was particularly meaningful: my daughter’s last first day of school.
So in this episode, I am getting a little sentimental because I want to show you how I work through my emotions to figure out where they’re coming from and what they mean. I also am getting into why doing this kind of work with your emotions is so meaningful.
For me, this was a reminder that part of the human experience is having 50% positive emotions and 50% negative emotions. That’s super important and we are touching on it more in this episode.
Join me as I reflect on my daughter’s last first day of school and the emotions that it brought up for me, both positive and negative.

Do you feel like you have to figure things out yourself instead of asking for help?
I want to challenge that mindset, and so does my guest in this episode.
I am chatting with Cherie Bosarge-Dutton, and she is talking about the different seasons of life that she has gone through and the work she has done to figure out what she really wants.
Former reporter, graphic designer, attorney, and professional stylist, now an activist and author, Cherie lives in Weston, Florida, with her partner of 25 years and their two teenagers.
It may seem like a strange leap to go from communications to law to fashion to writing women’s fiction, but each of these moves represents personal growth, career evolution, and a search for passion and purpose (and all of them provide fodder for her fiction).
Cherie publishes under a pseudonym to protect her privacy but is happy to gush about books and other writers any time. She reads a book a day, loves the beach at sunset, and hopes to visit as many countries as possible in her lifetime. She’s currently at twenty-five.
Whether you’re on your own journey of self-discovery or not, you’re going to love hearing about Cherie’s journey and how it improved once she asked for help!

When someone says they want to be more productive, more efficient, or they want to start or grow something, the question I ask them is “what's your vision?”
Maybe you have an answer to that question, or maybe it’s a little fuzzy. Sometimes we think we have a vision, but when we’re asked to put it into words, it’s hard to pin down.
In this episode, I am sharing why your vision is the secret sauce to all that you do.
Listen in to these four steps that I have about finding your vision and also about what this work looks like when we do it on a Deep Dive VIP Day.
If you want to live as the best version of yourself, it’s time to get clear on your vision.
It always comes back to this, so tune in to find out how.

Are you wondering what happened to that goal you had of exercising every day before the summer?
There’s a reason gym enrollments go up in January and then again in May when everyone realizes summer is coming up: motivation kicks in… but over time, your visits to the gym slow down. Before long, you’re back to saying, “oh my gosh, why can’t I find time to work out?” Does this sound familiar?
Maybe you feel like it’s because you’re busy, tired, distracted by your kids, or all of the above, but the real reason is that you don’t commit to exercising.
If you truly want to be stronger, fitter, or healthier, you’ve got to stay committed.
I know sometimes that seems impossible, so today I’m joined by my personal trainer, Vanessa Gregor, to talk about how to stay committed to your fitness.
Vanessa Gregor, also known as Nez, is the owner of Studio Fit’nez. She hires independent personal trainers that make Studio Fit’nez what it is: a private personal training studio in the heart of Fishers that goes above and beyond when it comes to helping people live healthy, pain-free, and fit lives. Vanessa enriches her clients’ lives through the teachings of proper form and technique, overcoming weaknesses, and finding joy in the process.

If someone asked you to share your vision, would you be able to? Have you mapped out a plan for growth, or is decision fatigue keeping your vision creation on the back burner?
As a coach, I cannot emphasize enough to my clients how important it is to have a vision. Many people consider taking the time to brainstorm and create a vision as something optional or something that would be nice to have one day.
I’m here to tell you that is not the case. Having a vision is a need. It is not a want. It’s a way to reduce the background noise, stay on track, and sharpen your focus.
In this episode, I’m talking about the four benefits of having a vision and how to avoid a “paint by number” scenario in your business.
Now is the time for you to level up your game by figuring out the right vision for your future, so tune in for some help.

Are you serving your clients, creating profit, and having fun? Do you know that you are capable of even more?
My guest in this episode, Maria Page, was in that exact same situation!
Maria Page is the Director of Firm Growth and Development at Applegate & Dillman Elder Law. She works cross-functionally with business development, operations, finance, and client services to create and execute growth initiatives.
Maria and I started working together about eight months ago. Her and the law firm she is a part of have seen tremendous growth all around ever since!
We get into how that has happened and what that growth has meant for her as well as her team over the last eight months.
This conversation will give you some perspective on how you can create the role you want to be in, how an organization can create a Runway to Freedom, and how coaching can really benefit you from a personal and professional standpoint.
Tune in to hear all about Maria and her journey!

What do you have time for?
Do you think about this often? If not, I want you to ask yourself this question while you listen to this episode.
It might seem like a simple question, but I think it will really challenge some of the stories that your brain tells you about time. It did for me!
We are diving into time scarcity and time management, and I am sharing a tool that I have in my toolbox that helps me focus on what I really use my time for. I know that it will really benefit you.
There are also six specific questions that I want you to answer to get to the bottom of your feelings about time, so we are going over those too.
If you’re someone who identifies as always being too busy and you feel like there’s never enough time, this is going to be helpful for you.

Have you ever wondered what you should be delegating or who you should be delegating to? Have you ever wondered what the difference is between a virtual assistant and an online business manager?
Well, you’re going to find out in this episode. You’re also going to find out what you could take out of your business and outsource to someone else so that you can focus on the reason you started a business in the first place.
We’re going to hear from my very own amazing online business manager, Lynda Carlini. She is sharing what it is like to do what she does, who she helps, and why people need her.
Lynda is a certified online business manager and systems strategist. She loves working with her clients to eliminate the overwhelm and get back to loving their businesses by streamlining their business systems and processes.
Lynda was a stay-at-home mom to 3 kids under the age of 5 and the right hand to her husband in his business. When her kids were in elementary school, she worked there too, but as they left, she began working as a VA to online entrepreneurs. This quickly transformed into more as she began implementing the systems and processes in her clients’ businesses that they needed to help their days run more smoothly. She knew that she had finally found what she was meant to do.
Her mission is to create more time for other business owners so that they can enjoy making memories and growing their revenue at the same time. In her free time, Lynda will usually be found with her family on the lake, a beach, or in the pasture with their horses and cattle!
You’re going to love what Lynda has to share about the benefits of having an OBM, so don’t miss this episode.

Do you downplay your accomplishments? Do you know how to really feel proud of yourself?
This is something that I have been thinking about a lot because as a coach and a teacher, I always want to encourage you to feel proud of yourself and feel empowered. The problem is that we tend to connect more over our problems than our successes as a society.
Something I've noticed in my own life is that not everyone likes it when you're proud of yourself or celebrating yourself. Maybe a little jealousy creeps in or they feel like you didn’t earn it, but that’s just not true.
You did earn it! You deserve to celebrate and pat yourself on the back!
In this episode, I am giving you some advice because I want to help you navigate this a little bit more deliberately. This will help you intentionally celebrate your accomplishments whether they are big or small.
If you want to learn how to feel proud of yourself without feeling any guilt, tune in to this episode.

Do you wake up feeling unfocused, unsure what to work on first or what direction to take your business in?
My client, Lara Williams, is joining me in this episode to talk about how we’ve created what I love to call a Runway to Freedom to clear all of those up.
A Runway to Freedom could mean a lot of different things to different organizations, but in this case, it meant creating an operating system to help bring back excitement, energy, accountability, and growth in Lara’s business.
Lara is talking about what the business looked like before, what the struggles were, and what areas we worked on. You’ll hear how we reorganized meetings, positions, hiring processes, and more to create a business structure that could handle growth.
Lara Williams, InteCare Chief Operating Officer, has 20 years of experience working in community mental health developing programs and training that focus on recovery and a person-centered approach. Since her start at InteCare in 2010, she has helped to establish the CARF-accredited Supportive Services for Veteran Families program and developed and supervised a 2nd Chance Re-entry Grant in collaboration with the Indiana Department of Correction. Lara was key in establishing Allies of Indiana, a peer-run organization with a focus on bringing innovative peer-run initiatives to Indiana, and has served as their Executive Director for 9 years. During her tenure, she has helped the organization to become a national leader in Emotional CPR (eCPR) training, receiving multi-year grants from the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction to provide eCPR training across Indiana, assisting with the development of eCPR Canada and the development of a Youth eCPR model.
If you want to learn how creating a Runway to Freedom can benefit you and your business, tune in.

Let’s talk about pricing.
Do you get stressed out wondering whether you’re pricing your services right?
You’re not alone. This comes up time and time again. Putting a number on your services can seem really daunting, but it really comes down to beliefs.
In this episode, I am teaching you the three things that go into putting a price on your services and how those three things are what cause you to either feel stressed or at peace with your pricing.
If you’re not confident in these three things, you won’t be confident in your pricing, and I want to make sure that you are!
Tune in to find out what goes into a perfect price.

We talk a lot on this show about organizing your mind, but I actually think it is just as important to organize your physical space.
When I have clients who start to understand how to organize their brains and clean out their thinking, they get inspired to start organizing and cleaning out their physical spaces.
In this episode, we are talking about organizing your home and why it’s important.
Muffy White, a professional organizer, is joining me to talk all about this. Muffy helps her clients organize and create clean spaces for them to do better thinking and living in.
Muffy White is a professional organizer, concierge mover, and the founder of Muffy White Organizing & Styling (MWOS). She and her team work in homes of all sizes to help them function at their best. They believe in the old adage “outer order equals inner calm.” They strive to bring that calm to your home while you live in it, prepare to sell it, and are in the moving process. MWOS has successfully transformed hundreds of homes, offices, and not-for-profits. Keeping green is part of their philosophy, and instead of adding to landfills, they have helped their clients donate thousands of dollars worth of items to local communities.
Muffy was born and raised in Massachusetts, is a graduate of the University of Vermont, a retired ski instructor from Telluride, CO, a former contract salesperson at Lane Office Furniture in NYC, and now a happy PO in Gloucester, MA. She has a hockey-playing family (two children and husband!) but skis as often as possible! She is an avid reader, runner, friend, and sister.
Tune in to this episode if you find yourself needing a little outer organization for some more inner peace!

Do you struggle with delegating?
It can be hard not to think “I could do this better myself” or “it takes too much time to teach someone.”
It doesn’t matter if I’m coaching 1:1, in a group setting, or in an intensive, delegation is a topic that people are both excited about and uncomfortable with.
Trust me when I say that it is so worth it in the long run though!
In this episode, we’re talking all about how to delegate the right way, and I've boiled this down to five key pieces of information that you need to communicate in order to delegate effectively.
We cover what can go wrong with delegating, the importance of being clear on expectations, how to communicate what a clear win would look like, and more.
Tune in to learn more about how to delegate to ensure the outcome you want!

Are you living with unapologetic ambition right now, or are you letting the expectations of others get in the way?
One of my amazing clients, Terri Fisher, is on the show to talk about her coaching journey and how she has found a way to live with unapologetic ambition.
Terri is actually in the corporate world, and when we started working together several years ago, she came to me and said, “I want to be a rockstar at work, but I have two little boys at home. I just don't even know if it's possible.”
Not only will she tell you whether it was possible or not, but she’s also sharing what she learned along the way that turned out to be more important.
Terri has been focused on marketing strategy, branding, and business development with finance and accounting consulting firms for over 15 years. Much of her work has focused on the legal, healthcare, financial services, and private equity industries. She enjoys working with her clients to come up with inventive ideas for challenging problems. She resides in Indianapolis with her husband and three young boys. She enjoys cooking, running, and travel.
If you need some support to start being a better you, tune in to hear what Terri has to say.

Have you ever said, “I just really want to do something that I'm passionate about”?
I want to challenge you to think about how you’re going to feel when you find that thing and then think about what would happen if your passion isn’t something that you can find.
You’ve probably never thought about it this way before...
This comes up so often when I’m talking to a new client, and I always challenge them to change the way they are thinking about it.
Tune in to find out what I mean, and how you can stop chasing that passion and start living it right now.

Have you ever spent hours trying to figure out the technical aspects of your business and wondered if it would be smarter to outsource?
That can be a hard line to draw sometimes, so we’re going to try to simplify it in this episode.
Today we are joined by tech guru Krista Smith who is sharing 7 tips to help you decide whether you should figure it out on your own or leave it to the pros!
Krista Smith loves helping women over 40 get confident with the tech that will allow their businesses to thrive online. She gets it. She is a part of the generation of women who didn’t grow up with a smartphone in their pockets. They didn’t have a computer (or possibly even internet) in their homes until their 20’s. That means they didn’t have their childhoods or teenage years to learn how to adapt to changing technology.
Coming from a background in education, she’s been teaching tech for over ten years. Between coaching (she's a CTI Trained Co-Active Coach), building websites for her clients, and teaching women how to code, she's learned plenty about helping women launch profitable businesses. Most recently she's become a Certified StoryBrand Guide, helping her clients master their messaging too.
Keep in mind while listening that these tips can really be applied to anything that you’re thinking about outsourcing!

If you’ve ever wanted to pick my brain, someone else is actually doing it for you in this episode!
This episode is a replay of a conversation that I had with Mel McMahon of Indiana Originals over on her podcast.
You will hear her ask me about separating business from life and all the challenges that go with that, the empowerment of getting out of your own way, and why it is okay to ask for help in all aspects of life.
I thought this conversation was super valuable, so I decided to share it with you over here so you don’t miss out.

Are you beating yourself up about things beyond your control?
I have two words for you: it’s okay.
Today I am chatting with one of my clients, Jennifer Rubenstein, and that’s the message that she really wants to drive home.
Jennifer has been working on figuring out what the right thing is for her in a lot of different aspects of her life, and she's been able to sift through her thoughts and all that's going on in the world in order to find it.
Jennifer Rubenstein is the publisher of a food magazine, a business owner, a founder of a foundation, a mom and a wife. She has extensive knowledge of branding, creative marketing promotions and strategy, event production and sales. Since moving to Indy in 2007, she has supported locally owned farmer’s markets, eateries, grocery stores and any other opportunities to promote and support local business owners.

How do you handle being let down?
It can be hard not to take things personally, right?
Today we are going to talk about how to cope with letting yourself down and being let down by others.
The truth is, you’re probably telling yourself a story that’s not completely true, and when you know the true story, it’s a lot easier to control how you feel about it.
I’m bringing this up because I recently experienced being let down, and I’ve noticed some of my colleagues and clients being let down too.
We’re all human, so let’s talk about how to deal with these situations.
If you’ve felt let down by someone or something recently, this is going to be a really helpful episode for you.

Do you have the legal side of your business in order?
I know it sounds scary, but hopefully, by the end of this episode, it will seem a lot simpler!
Today’s very special guest is my cousin, Deirdre. She has recently started a new business offering a service that I often find my clients needing.
Deirdre is a lawyer, small business owner, and entrepreneur with over thirteen years of experience representing clients ranging from multi-million dollar corporations, physicians and insurance companies to small businesses, nonprofits and individuals. Her breadth of legal experience provides a unique perspective that she brings to any legal issue.
She is also a busy mom raising a family while pursuing her own entrepreneurial dreams through buying and renovating properties with her husband and sister. As a result, she understands the extraordinary challenges that small business owners often face with a limited budget and scant resources while trying to balance it all. These distinctive challenges are what inspired her to represent small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Whether you’ve got a tricky employee issue, a legal letter that you need to be written, or policies drafted for your growing company, this episode will show you why every business needs a legal partner!

Are you choosing your thoughts with intention?
In this bonus episode, I am joined by Ellie Brown, and we are talking about putting on healthy blinders. This is the idea of focusing on one thing at a time and not allowing yourself to get distracted by your thoughts about anything else.
We’re diving into how Ellie is able to really tune into her own thoughts, and how that ultimately leads to her results. She puts on her healthy blinders in order to do that.
Sometimes we don’t even make the connection between how our thoughts and feelings affect our results. When you start to think more about this and your ability to choose your thoughts, you really can achieve anything.
Ellie is a relentlessly driven woman who has never met a stranger. She has spent the past five years with Beautycounter where she focuses on educating people about the products we put on our bodies every day — offering solutions for clients, advocating for more health protective laws, and empowering women.
If you want to get back in control of your thoughts and your results, Ellie has a lot of advice for you!

Are you getting in the way of your own progress? I think we’ve all been there at one point or another.
Today I am sitting down to chat with one of my clients, Cynde McInnis.
Cynde and I are talking about her passion for whales (yes, you read that right), how she's turned that passion into a business and how coaching has impacted her life and business.
She also talks about how being in a group coaching setting has given her exposure to a lot of different women with different ideas, all of which helped her grow within her business.
Cynde runs The Whalemobile which is an educational enrichment program that uses a life-sized inflatable whale to cultivate the next generation of ocean advocates. The life-sized replica of a humpback named Nile becomes a classroom as students go inside to learn about how humans and whales are similar and different.
It’s a really interesting conversation. I wouldn’t miss it if I were you!

Do you have someone to turn to outside of your family and friends when you need to get an opinion?
Sarah Young and I are talking about why that’s such an important thing to have in this episode.
In the time that she and I have worked together, she's gone through a lot of transitions. She switched jobs, got married and got a dog. Needless to say, a lot has been happening for her!
As you're listening, I want you to recognize how coaching has helped her through those transitions and how in a group setting, she's learned that even though the women in the group are all from different industries, different ages and different stages of life, they all have so much in common and so much to learn from each other.
Sarah is a high-energy technology sales executive who is on a mission to help socially impactful businesses thrive by achieving revenue targets. She’s spent the past decade in high growth SaaS companies, serving in a variety of sales and sales leadership roles. When she’s not working, you can find her walking her puppy all over downtown, traveling, doing something active or trying a new restaurant.
Tune in to hear Sarah’s story and learn more about why support is so important.

I love money, and I know that might freak you out to hear. We’ve been taught that money is the root of all evil, but I don’t believe that! I think if you are an evil person and you have money, you are going to do evil things. I also think if you are an amazing person and you have money, you’re going to do amazing things.
We’re going to uncover all of that in this episode.

Are you ready to continue our discussion about the three types of work?
We’ve covered thought work and focus work, so now it’s time to talk about busy work.
The dictionary definition of busy work: work that keeps a person busy but has little value in itself.
We’re talking about why our brains beeline to busy work, how to get away from doing busy work and what your business will look like when you do.
Are you ready to move past your busy work so you can start taking massive action? This one’s for you.

Are you willing to invest in yourself?
In this bonus episode I get to speak to my friend and client, Michelle Capizzi.
Michelle is an abstract artist and creative connector. She's a girl (she's in her 50’s but still feels like a girl in the studio) who loves to get messy, dance barefoot, is obsessed with color, and always dreaming in shapes. She has a BA in Fine Arts with concentration in Graphic Design from SUNY Fredonia but the bulk of her art education has come from working with artists, galleries, and exploring the world.
What’s been so special about working with Michelle is that I’ve watched her go from waiting for the “right time” to getting back to what she loves.
We're going to talk about things like imposter syndrome, how she had to learn to trust herself, figuring out that the business side of things don’t need to look so perfect, and learning that it's hard to put a value on your work.
We’re also going to talk about how she invested in herself and what that looked like.
Buckle up for some great insights and a few laughs.

Are you tired of always feeling like there’s something stopping you from living your best life? You don’t have enough time, you’re not making enough money… there’s always something, right?
What if you could change that just by changing the way you think?
Today I want to share with you a concept that I have been getting clear on over the past few weeks as a way for you to better understand how the women I work with become empowered to change.
We’re going to talk about how you can change your thinking so that your brain is operating on full power. We’ll get more into what that means in the episode, but essentially, if you want your brain to be working at its highest potential, this episode will teach you how.

You set your goals for 2021. What do you do now!?
Lucky for you, we are talking about what you should do next in this episode.
Last week was part 1 of a 3-part series all about goals. If you missed that episode, go back and listen! We touched on the wisdom, experience, understanding and self knowledge that comes with chasing your goals.
In part 2, I am challenging you to choose one goal that you would love to put your heart and soul into this year - even if that means there is potential to completely fail.
When you’re choosing your one major goal this year, let your dreaming mind explore without doubt and without shutting any possibilities down. My hope is that you walk away from this episode with the knowledge to channel your future self.
If you're ready to accomplish the goals that seem unachievable, you don’t want to miss this episode!

Imagine what your life would look like if you had time to do all of the things you wanted to do. Your business and home life would be pretty successful and put together, right?
Here’s the thing: time is a mental construct. You do have the time.
If you are not getting what you need to get done or what you want to get done in a day, week, month, or year, there is a problem!
In this episode of the Time to Level Up Podcast, I am unpacking what is getting in the way of you not tackling your tasks and projects. From planning your time to accommodating items that you didn’t plan for and pushing through resistance, there is always room for improvement when it comes to time management skills.
Once you can learn how to manage your calendar and tackle your tasks, you will be able to level up and live a conscious and deliberate life at work and home.
If you are ready to manage your time to see changes in your life, you are in the right place.

How are you feeling? Take a moment to think about this.
If you’re like most people, you aren’t really sure what specific feelings you experience everyday, but you probably know what you wish you felt. You might feel like an imposter when you want to feel like an expert. Similarly, you might feel unprepared when you want to feel capable.
That is all about to change.
In this episode, I am asking you to get crystal clear on your top three feelings and the thoughts you have that create those feelings. From there, I am helping you understand how to change your thoughts and feelings to trigger the actions that will ultimately lead to your success.
Here’s the good news: you have everything you need right now to feel the way that you want to feel. You CAN show up offering value and from a place of confidence if that is what you decide to do.
It’s time to throw away all of the thoughts and feelings that don’t serve you, and there is no better time to do that than right now.
You’re not going to want to miss this. Be sure to tune in!
