In today’s episode, we dove into Jenn's childhood dreams of becoming a fearless mountaineer, fueled by her love for adventure movies featuring Indiana Jones and Lara Croft. We followed her journey through college, where she conquered her first peaks. But life took a detour, temporarily putting mountaineering on hold. After a thought-provoking moment, she vowed to conquer another summit before her 40th birthday, determined to infuse her life with a thrilling sense of purpose once again.
Amidst homeschooling seven children (yes, you heard right!), she found inspiration in a hilarious comment from one of her little adventurers.

The title of this episode may make you laugh, but we're serious. Our guest today is JJ Littrell, who is my very best "b*tch please" friend...meaning we get on Zoom every Tuesday morning and push each other to express our full potential. Whether that's money mindset, pushing each other to do sales, coaching each other through slumps, or just cheering each other on.
So why "b*tch please?" because that's what we say to snap each other out of playing small.
JJ is a force to be reckoned with. In the last 12 months, she's exited her role as a corporate CFO of an international company to co-found a 7-figure business called Tuatara. She's lost over 30 pounds, invested in her marriage and parenting, taken dream trips and is living a life she truly designed.
In fact, she recently spoke on stage in Vegas to over 3500 people, alongside Ryan Reynolds!
JJ is the ultimate badass, proof that you don't have to stay trapped in a "good-on-paper" life, and her BIG, bajillion-dollar dreams will inspire you to go bigger too.

Some key takeaways on launching a kickass podcast:
- Get right to the point! Don’t bury the lead on your podcast with a long-winded intro, and don’t ask your guests to “tell you about themselves.” Get right to the subject matter and immediately start sharing yours or your guest’s expertise.
- Pick one main podcast topic to begin with. Even if you’re multi passionate and want to talk about all the things, zero in on one target audience or one key topic and build your listenership from there. Once you have buy-in from listeners, then you can talk about whatever you want.
- Keep your vocals strong throughout the episode. Don’t trail off at the end of sentences or end sentences as a question when they’re not a question. Don’t try to alter the sound of your natural voice, just maintain a strong tone and volume so you sound confident!
Grab Life By the Goals is THE podcast for passionate, badass entrepreneurs who want to change their lives by starting and growing a business on their own terms.

Your business should feel like you’re at home. You should feel like you can be completely yourself in it, do whatever you love to do in it, and express your unique style through it. In this episode, I’m sharing how I took steps to make my business feel more like home to me, which included letting go of what a coaching business “should” be and stepping into my zone of genius. The result? I just wrapped my highest ever revenue month in June!

Some key takeaways on making your business feel like home:
- Claim what it is you really want. Don’t worry about how frivolous or profitable it might sound right now, just get really clear on what lights you up and declare that shit out loud. Chances are that’s where your home sweet home is.
- It’s okay to want to want multiple things. If a certain title doesn’t feel like it encompasses all that you are, it doesn’t need to be your whole identity. When you introduce yourself, tell them all the things you’re good at and don’t pressure yourself to fit into a box.
- Are you spending time in your zone of genius? You ARE in your zone of genius if you feel energized, on fire, and at your best when you’re working on a particular type of project or executing on a particular service. If you’re not, pinpoint what that is and add more of it to your business!

Our Grab Life By the Goals Squad Membership kicked off this week and it was pure magic! Jessica Lackey led the first day of coaching with a “Finding Your Why” exercise, and I received the most spectacular download from the universe: 29 S-words that are my goals, values, and intentions for living a life that makes me swoon. Don’t we all deserve to feel all romantic and sensual about the lives we’re living? This episode is all about how I plan to achieve that, and how you can, too.
Want a whole SQUAD of accountability partners for your goals? Join the Grab Life By the Goals Squad Membership! As a member of our squad, you’ll get access to all my courses and trainings, weekly business and life coaching calls, and guest expert trainings with our avengers every single week! If you’re pumped to join, click here to learn more and enroll in the membership today!
Just three of my 29 secrets for a swoonworthy life are:
- Significance: Making a huge impact in some way, shape, or form. This could be a worldwide movement you started or could mean becoming an important fixture in your community. Whatever feels really important and impactful to you.
- Supported: Getting help where you need it and want it. This might be having enough business revenue to outsource all the tasks you don’t like doing or aren’t good at, or hiring a personal chef, house manager, or personal trainer for yourself.
- Seasonal: As much as we want to, we can’t go hard 100% of the time. We also can’t be coasting along 100% of the time. Seasonality in life and business is so essential for balancing out the busy, stressful seasons with relaxing, easy ones.

A couple weekends ago, I performed my very first stand up comedy routine in front of a live audience. And guess what? I totally choked and forgot my lines… and bawled in the bathroom afterwards. But also, people actually laughed at my jokes! I brought the energy and did the damn thing. In this episode, I’m chatting with my comedy coach and friend Don Garrett about the business of stand up comedy, why laughter is such a healing force, and what performing stand up can teach us about personal growth and chasing our biggest goals. As a bonus, my stand up routine is sprinkled into the episode for your listening pleasure.
Connect with Don!

- Sign up for comedy classes at Charlotte Comedy Theater
Some key takeaways on stand up comedy and laughter:
- Laughter is such a healing force. When you’re laughing, the only thing you’re thinking about is whatever just made you laugh. For a minute or two we get an escape (or a “vacation” as Don calls it) from reality and the pain that comes with it.
- If you’re interested in being a stand up comic, take a class! Learn the ins and outs of the craft in a small group setting so you can test out your own set in front of an audience. You can also go balls to the wall and participate in an open mic, but DO NOT wing it. Be prepared with a set.
- You’re gonna bomb sometimes. Even if you’ve been doing something for a while, there will be times that it doesn’t go well. Learn from those bombs and constantly look for ways to improve and you’ll be golden. There are no failures, just learning.

Ever wondered what can happen for your business in five years? In that time, Kelley and Berkeley met for the first time and became business soulmates, started a travel-inspired design business called House of Nomad, and now have two storefronts in Charlotte and Charleston and a line of original products sold at Anthropologie. No matter what kind of business is in your heart, these women will inspire you with their trials and triumphs of the last five years in this episode.
You will get all the goodness in the audio-only version, but please check out the video version to see Kelley’s gorgeous living room and the wallpaper they designed!

Some key takeaways from Kelley & Berkeley:
- Take calculated risks in your business. If you’re risking bankruptcy, obviously don’t put yourself in that situation (that’s what my boy Tom Bilyeu calls a “mortality experiment”). If the worst case scenario is that you won’t get clients and will need to get a “regular” job, that’s not so bad. Go for it.
- Running a business requires a ton of self-reflection and growth. Allow yourself to learn new things about yourself and grow alongside it. You’ll be a better leader - and person - for it.
- You can absolutely grow a business beyond your wildest dreams in five years (or even less). House of Nomad did it, even through a pandemic! You can absolutely do it too. Check out our Grab Life By the Goals Squad Membership to find a community of humans to inspire you.

Some key takeaways on how to manage your time like a boss:
- If you have a day job, set firm agreements with your boss about working hours and how priorities will be shifted if more is added to your plate. Propose a schedule that will allow you to be more productive during the work week and let them know when you will (and won’t!) be responding to emails and messages.
- Get some support at home. If you need more time to work on your side hustle or any of your goals, hire a babysitter to come in a few nights a week or use a meal delivery service to take care of dinners (and reduce cleanup!) for the week.
- Stop looking at the tasks required for your goals as a chore. If we dread a task, we’re more likely to push it off and actually get it done. How can you reframe what you need to do as “growth time,” “zen time,” or “connection time?” A positive framing will make all the difference.

Some key takeaways on prioritizing your health as an entrepreneur:
- Sleep is crucial for mental health, work performance, exercise performance, and focus. When your body and brain are well rested, you work faster and get more done in less hours every day. If you feel like there’s “never enough time in the day,” start with sleep!
- Food is your next big thing to focus on. You can reduce inflammation and brain fog by balancing your blood sugars. If you can increase your intake of whole foods (meaning it either came from the ground or had a mother at one point lol), you’ll keep your energy levels up for better focus and productivity.
- We need to think about our health the way we think about business. We know we’re working towards long term goals, we can pivot quickly when certain strategies aren’t working, and we learn from failure. If we applied that same mindset to our health, we would be unstoppable!

Is perfectionism or fear of messing up keeping you from executing on your goals? We can keep ourselves stuck at the starting line when we think we need to have every step planned out before we take the first one, but there is SO much magic that happens when you start messy. In this episode, I’m sharing my best tips for taking messy action toward your goal, no matter what it is, and some stories to demonstrate how I’ve walked the walk over and over again in my six years of business.

Some key takeaways on taking messy action:
- Perfectionism is a dream killer! We don’t need to have everything perfectly planned out in order to execute. Simply make a list of some easy to accomplish first steps to take your dream from an idea to a final product. For example, if you wanna write a book, start telling people about it and someone you know might have a contact in publishing, or get a pen and paper and start writing. Just start!
- Messy action will lead you to more clarity and help you understand what works and what doesn’t. Your first event won’t be perfect, but you’ll get some experience with planning and great feedback from the attendees for the next one. Your first coaching package you ever sell will not look the same as the third iteration of it, but that third iteration will be so much better after the feedback from the first and second iterations.
- Messy action should not be miserable. You should be working from a place of excitement to take steps toward your goal and feel inspired to do so. Does the messy action make you feel lit up, or are you dreading it? Find an exciting step and do that first to start the momentum.

Whether you identify as “woo woo” or not, you’ve probably heard a lot of buzz around manifesting before. I’ve been manifesting some truly amazing things in my life and business, and it inspired me to share the action steps and mindset tweaks I’ve made to make all of these huge goals and dreams a reality. In this episode, I’m breaking down my 10-ingredient recipe for manifesting, designed for the energetic action-taker.

- The Illusion of Money by Kyle Cease
Some key takeaways on my personal approach to manifesting are:
- Manifestation isn’t just thinking things into existence. It’s when you declare what you want and then take decisive action towards it. It’s acknowledging that there are greater forces at work in the world that we can’t see or feel, but will serve us if we pursue our biggest dreams with clarity and resolution.
- Sex up your goal a little bit to move the manifestation along. If your goal feels too safe, or just isn’t exciting you very much even though it’s a great goal on paper, make it sexy! Up the ante and create a higher ticket package, declare that you want to purchase a luxury car or a beachfront condo. If it makes your titties tingle, you’re on the right track!
- Surround yourself with people who raise your vibration. Are you surrounding yourself with people who support you and believe in what you’re reaching for? Are they action takers that inspire you? Find a core group of people that makes you feel lit up and will brainstorm how they can point you in the right direction.

Is it your dream to build a team to support you in growing your business? There is a huge shift that happens between leading a team in a corporate role and leading a team that is ultimately representing your brand in your own company. In this episode, Karen Weeks, a Human Resources pro and Career Transformation Coach, is here to share with us all the ins and outs of the hiring process. From who you should hire first to onboarding them for success, she covers it all and drops some serious gems in this episode!

Some key takeaways on building a badass team are:
- Some things solopreneurs get wrong is hiring their besties or someone they think they can treat as a bestie or right hand person, and not having all the processes in their head documented on paper for their new hire. Blurred boundaries and unmet expectations can ensue in these scenarios, resulting in a lot of frustration for both parties.
- When you’re thinking about your hire, it’s so important to be strategic. Think about what skills you need this person to have, the company values you want them to embody, what this role will grow into in the future, and what the ROI of having this person in place will be.
- Your onboarding process for a new hire should probably be a bit slower than you might think. Build in time for them to learn your processes, software and tools, and the best communication style for the two of you. Set clear expectations of when they should have certain processes nailed down, and when they should expect to own certain tasks or projects.

If booking paid speaking engagements is on your radar, I cannot even begin to prepare you for the absolute fire in this episode. Precious L. Williams, an award winning sales trainer, 4x bestselling author, and Killer Pitch Master is on the podcast to share all the expertise no one tells you about pitching yourself as a speaker, showing up for your attendees authentically, and connecting with your audience after the talk is over. This episode is a motivational AF masterclass from an absolute queen of public speaking.
Precious L. Williams is a 13-time national elevator pitch champion. She has also been featured on "Shark Tank," CNN, WSJ, Forbes Magazine, Black Enterprise Magazine, Essence Magazine, and the movie "LEAP." Her current clients include Microsoft, LinkedIn, Google, eBay, and more!

Some key takeaways on pitching yourself as a speaker from the Killer Pitch Master herself:
- You need to stand out from even the most recognizable faces. Precious isn’t just a “sales trainer,” she’s the “Killer Pitch Master.” She wanted people to know exactly what she brings to the table and built a brand around that to stay at the top of her field.
- Think about the topics you would like to speak about. Write out your thoughts on these topics and infuse your personality, your uniqueness, and your experience into them. As Precious says “If you’re regurgitating what the gurus are saying… good luck.” What experience do you have that makes you stand out?
- Get yourself on LinkedIn. It’s full of the companies that are willing to hire you if you’re willing to show up and show out as yourself on the platform. When you ask someone to make a warm introduction between you and a corporate contact for speaking, prep that person on how to warmly introduce you.

Selling high ticket offers easily. Working four hours a day, four days a week. Luxurious morning walks where you can be alone in nature. These are all things that are possible for you when you step into your seven-figure self. The efficiency and surrender that needs to happen to get to this level will free up so much possibility for your business and your life. In this episode, Jessica Fearnley, an award-winning business coach, is walking us through the tangible actions of stepping into our 7-figure selves and swoon-worthy case studies to keep you motivated.

Some key takeaways on leveling up to a 7-figure business:
- Show as who you are, not who you think you need to be to be successful. If a lot of your business feels forced or unaligned, pay attention to where that unalignment feels the strongest and embrace the tasks and projects that feel the most energizing to you.
- Engineer your business based on how you feel on your most average day. So many people plan their businesses around the contingency that they will feel amazing and ultra productive every day. That’s not realistic, but planning for success on average days will help your business take off.
- When you’re leveling up, one of the first things to do is increase the capacity of your business. This might mean bringing on team members, or reworking your packages to increase your minimum pricing so you need fewer clients to hit your new revenue goals.

Do you have a huge and audacious goal or dream, but you’re too scared to take action on it? I think we all do, and this year I’ve been taking messy but decisive action toward my own dream of becoming a stand up comedian. In my work with aspiring and thriving entrepreneurs, I’ve learned a thing or two about how fear keeps us from pursuing our dreams, and in this episode I’m sharing the framework for pushing through fear so you’re not leaving your dreams on the backburner. If this episode inspires you to pursue a huge goal, DM me over on Instagram and claim that goal so I can cheer you on!

Some key takeaways to help break through fear and take action:
- Figure out where that fear is coming from. Is it the analysis paralysis that comes with entering the unknown? Is it guilt that what you want isn’t a “noble” endeavor? Do you not feel worthy of what you want? These are all so common, but there are tangible actions you can take to overcome these roadblocks.
- The first step to doing the damn thing is claiming it! Start by filling in these blanks: “As a [persona], I want [thing] so that [outcome].” For example “As a comedian, I want a platform to excite, educate, and entertain so that I can activate a million goals.” Put your butt cheeks out there and claim not only your new role or identity you’re taking on, but also the exact outcome you want for this endeavor.
- Hardcore commit to your goal. If you’re not sure where to start, reach out to someone who does, get their input, and immediately take action on what they tell you to do. Sign up for a class, tell people what you’re doing, and do the damn thing.

Have you heard the term “Adulting?” It’s doing the mundane, grown up stuff that doesn’t come naturally to you, and it couldn’t be less sexy! However, in today’s episode, Jessica Lackey - a Harvard MBA turned Feminist Strategist & Operations Coach - is sharing all the grown up systems and processes she’s helped me implement in my business and my life and the insane payoffs they’ve already had for me. If you struggle with sorting through the daily admin stuff to get to the juicy, zone of genius moves in your biz and life, this episode is for you! Connect with Jessica:

Some key takeaways on setting up some adult AF business and life systems:
- Creativity and flow can’t happen in a messy house. The house in your business consists of your email inbox, your CRM, task managers, calendar, etc. If these things are cluttered to the point where you dread looking at them, you need to clean house before you enter the next phase of your business.
- You want to put the same intentional systems into your personal life and family routines that you do into your business. Create systems for what you’ll eat for dinner every night, how you’ll split household duties with your partner, and even how you manage your family calendar. It might sound boring, but having all these systems implemented prevents decision fatigue and dramatically reduces stress (and friction!) at home!
- One of the toughest parts of adulting is understanding that worthwhile change and abundance takes time. You have to strength train for months before you see your physique change, you have to spend time deep cleaning before the daily maintenance is fast and easy. Have faith that you’re implementing the right systems and routines that will pay off in the long run.

Some key takeaways on building an inclusive brand:
- Core values are an essential part of building an inclusive brand. If you can tie your DEI efforts back to your personal or business core values, you will be able to foster more authentic relationships with your community members than if you were just posting “inclusive” content without any thought or true intention behind it.
- Instead of focusing on creating a “safe space,” focus on creating an environment and community where people have the opportunity to be brave. Are your core values and messaging making people feel like they can show up and speak up as their truest selves around you?
- We are all responsible for doing our own work to overcome internalized biases. Don’t put the educational labor on your friends or colleagues of color to tell you why certain things are racist or discriminatory - look up resources and read up on your own before you approach them to have a discussion.

It is OKAY to want more than vanilla in your life. Vanilla is delicious and pleasant, and lots of people love it, but if you’re more of a dark chocolate with three different sauces swirled in (AKA Ben & Jerry’s Phish Food!) kinda gal, that is so valid! In this episode, I’m sharing the areas of my life where I felt super vanilla and wanted much more spice and flavor sprinkled in, and the ups and downs of coming to terms with wanting more in these areas. If you are feeling stuck in the “good on paper” status of certain areas of your life, and you crave breaking free of the norm, this is the episode for you!

Resources mentioned:
- “Untamed” by Glennon Doyle
- Listen to Episode 6 - The Risk & Reward of Being Authentic
- “Dear Girls” by Ali Wong
Some key takeaways on getting your wildest desires met:
- Something that keeps us stuck in vanilla is fear of judgment for being too freaky. Whether that’s judgment from your partner, your friends, or prospective clients, it can be really scary to put your desires and dreams out there. Do it anyway! The people who love you most will stick around (and maybe even join you for the wild ride!).
- Look for inspiration from other humans who have put their desires out there and risked it all to be authentically and unapologetically themselves. My faves are Glennon Doyle - specifically read her book, Untamed! - and Ali Wong, whose comedy special “Don Wong” on Netflix is so good. Then YOU get to be that inspiration to other people!
- Surround yourself with people who like the same freak flag-y stuff as you!

As far as supportive partners go, my husband Shawn - AKA Shawndaddy - is among the best of ‘em. In this episode, I’m putting him in the hot seat to hear his perspective on what it’s really like to be married to an entrepreneur. From how he felt when I first told him I wanted to start a business (right after we made the biggest financial decision of our lives) to how he feels about me making d*ck jokes in my LinkedIn posts, Shawndaddy holds nothing back in this super fun (and honestly super cute) episode. If you’re an entrepreneur and have wondered what your partner might feel like on this rollercoaster ride, this is the episode for you!

Some key takeaways on being married to an entrepreneur:
- Entrepreneurship is a wild ride for all parties involved! Even if the entrepreneur is the key decision maker and feels like only they really understand the rollercoaster, their partner or spouse is right along on that ride with them.
- Trust is at the core of any strong relationship, but especially when one partner is entering entrepreneurship. Your partner needs to trust that you’re going to make the right decisions to make your business work, and that you’ll learn and grow from your mistakes along the way.
- Prioritize communicating your goals to each other and setting goals together. You and your partner are on the same team, and goal setting together really solidifies that partnership mentality that’s going to allow you both to aim higher and achieve your biggest dreams.

Some key takeaways on why YOU should start a business this year:
- Starting a business transformed my personal life. It freed me from corporate, strengthened my marriage with my husband, and allowed me to model for my young daughters that any career - including entrepreneurship - is possible for them. It also forced me to spend way more time and energy on my physical and mental health. Full mind/body/spirit transformation here!
- Starting a biz is a crash course in professional skills that will serve you in a traditional job. From all the marketing you do for yourself, to sales skills, to learning how to lead yourself or a team through a pivot with grace will make you the most marketable employee of all time.
- If you finally start that business, you will not live with the regret of never having tried it. If you have a skill or a passion that you always wanted to turn into a business, follow your heart. With the right guidance, you can absolutely make it. And even if it totally fails, you’ll know that you gave it your all.

How do you crush your goals when you don’t know what they are? Seriously…what if you don’t know what’s next for you? Can you still be a badass who is moving your life forward?
Yes! Believe it or not, there’s a method you can use to move forward, even if your goals are fuzzy. Even though I describe my 13+ years in corporate as soul-sucking…there’s one thing I learned that changed my life. It’s called the Agile Methodology, and it was originally created to design better software, but the principles can be applied to anything in life. The beautiful part about Agile is…you don’t need a perfectly designed goal or end-game. You simply need a “theme” to work toward, and design the next 1-2 week sprint. That’s it.
This method allows you to chip away at your goals with your freshest energy, without the overwhelm of needing it to “all be figured out”. If you are a driven badass who is hungry to move forward, but don’t know exactly what you want – this episode is for you!

Abundance has become a buzzword in the coaching and spiritual growth community. But what the hell does it even mean? Does it mean being rich? Does it mean being surrounded by fancy things and people? Not necessarily. You can live with incredible abundance by aligning your life’s actions with your values, and this episode shows you how. You’ll hear the entire story of how I identified my core values, and what my husband and I do to live in harmony with those values every day…and a ton of inspiration for how you can do the same.

It’s time to get raw and real on this podcast. It’s time to show you what my life is really like. I love giving you systems and frameworks to change your life, but sometime those systems breakdown in my own world. When you decide to disrupt your status quo and follow the path less traveled…it comes with hardships, heartache and breakdowns. In this raw, unscripted episode, you’ll meet Keiko Munro who is my first full-time hire and my spiritual partner on this quest to build a business with worldwide impact. We talk openly and honestly about:
- Our mission to create a business from spiritual alignment
- What her experience is really like on this team (and our crazy-ass first month)
- Real examples of our breakdowns and how we recover from them
- Where things may look perfect on the outside but are stressful AF in reality
So many business coaches are out there preaching financial freedom and a laptop lifestyle. Very few will tell you what it’s really like – mind-bendingly challenging and 100% worth it when you go all-in.
Does the word “sales” give you the creeps? Do you think of a slimy salesperson pushing their sh*t on you? In this episode, we flip that script because everyone needs sales – yes, even you – to crush their goals. You see, sales is the gateway to transformation for you and the person across the table from you…whether that’s your customer, your boss, your spouse or your friends. When you see sales as creating a mutual win-win… you can accomplish your goals and serve others in the process.
In this episode we discuss:
- What sales is (and isn’t!)
- Why everyone needs to embrace sales (even if you don’t own a business or have a sales-related job)
- My core principles for selling with integrity
- How to apply your Sales Swagger in a number of real-life scenarios
This episode is brought to you by Sales Swagger, my 90-day Quantum Revenue Accelerator for entrepreneurs in hypergrowth.

I used to beat myself up over it…until I realized that the magic is in the mess. The mess might even be a superpower! I’ve found that messy action can be the key to achieving your goals, and in this episode we discuss:
- My personal hot mess (trust me, you’re not alone!)
- How that mess became the key to my success
- Practical ways to clean up minor messes so you feel even more like a badass

Keith Johns had it all: The C-suite job title, family, house, cars…and still, he felt a calling he couldn’t ignore. He knew he was meant to serve humanity in a very different way. He took the leap to hire a coach and began the process of shedding his good-on-paper career for one that lit him up and serves the world – his own coaching business. He quickly grew his Side Hustle to $10K/months and traded the C-suite for a life of total freedom. Now, Keith runs his own company as a Performance Coach for people in Tech and lives with more abundance and freedom than ever before.
In this episode, we discuss:
- How to run a side hustle with a demanding, executive level career.

- How to know if you’re not being authentic with yourself.
- Times in my life where I was NOT authentic, and it cost me greatly.
- And…in the spirit of authenticity, I share a rather embarrassing and vulnerable story that I’ve NEVER shared publicly before.
