This is Personal97 | The trap of "someday" energyWhen I think back to the early days of my business, I remember having so much belief in what was possible for me and my business. That vision of what my business would look like "someday" kept me moving when things were hard (and honestly it still does). ButI’ve noticed for myself and for many of my clients that sometimes “someday” becomes a trap. We think we’ll magically wake up confident or selling will suddenly feel easy or our offers will just flow perfectly. The reality is the business you dream about is built by taking uncomfortable action n...

The Simplify PodcastEp.18: The Mom Conversations We're Not Having (But Should) w/ Alex FalesMotherhood is full of contradictions, unspoken struggles, and sacred moments we often don’t talk about. In this episode, I sit down with my friend, Alex Fales, for the honest mom conversation we’ve all been craving. We talk about caregiving, ownership, shame, and the real experiences that so many mothers carry quietly.
The inspiration for this episode came from the viral clip of Chappell Roan saying her mom friends are "in hell". Are they? Does mom content unintentionally perpetuate this message? And where’s the line between venting and slipping into victimhood?
This is not a...

2025-07-3021 minThis is Personal92 | If I wanted to make consistent money as a coach here's what I'd doI found an old journal entry from almost a year ago with the prompt: “If I were to tell someone exactly what to do to start making consistent money as a coach, service provider, or online educator, here’s what I’d say…”

2025-07-2317 minThis is Personal91 | What emotion is driving your action?When most people start a business, they focus on the strategy: What to post. When to launch. How to grow.
And while those things matter (and I love helping clients get clear on them), there’s another layer that often gets overlooked: the emotions driving your actions.
In this episode, we’re diving into why your energy and motivation matter just as much—if not more—than the tactical steps you're taking. I’m sharing personal stories, client insights, and a simple check-in practice that can help you create more aligned results in your business.
