BEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 314: The Power of a Pause and Honoring Your Capacity (An Update) After some intentional down time this summer, it's time for an update on what my 3-month podcast sabbatical looked like and what's next in the world of BEYOND.   There is so much power in taking a pause – sometimes they're planned out well in advance, and sometimes they're the curveballs that change up the plan.   In this episode, I'm reconnecting to share the unexpected parts of my year, what that's looked like for myself, my family and my business. While a lot of uncertainty remains and I continue to pray for clarity and discernment, I'm sharing with you what I DO know...2024-08-2711 minBreakthrough Brand Podcast - Online Business Growth, Website Design Strategies, Grow a Podcast, Motherhood and Business, Passive Income, Christian Faith, Showit TemplatesBreakthrough Brand Podcast - Online Business Growth, Website Design Strategies, Grow a Podcast, Motherhood and Business, Passive Income, Christian Faith, Showit Templates270: 3 Questions to Ask When You Want to Focus on Peace + Profit in Your Business with Becky HoschekMore peace and more profits - that’s what we're chatting about today.

There's always more to do and we constantly feel behind. It's exhausting and it leads us to live lives that feel like we're missing out on what matters most.   Hurry brings out the worst in you; it pretends to be necessary but is actually making your life as a mom and business owner so much harder than it has to be.    On this episode, you'll learn about 5 ways that hurry bring out the worst in you:   • When you're in a hurry, you don't...2022-12-2024 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 227: Selling Yourself on Your BusinessIf you're like me and most of my clients, sales isn't your favorite part of entrepreneurship. But sales is a necessary part of business, and just like you have to sell clients on your ability to help solve their problem and deliver on what you promise, you also have to sell YOU on your business. One of the biggest ways I see creative entrepreneurs and coaches self-sabotage in business is tied to their beliefs. If you aren’t sold on yourself: your expertise, your ability to show up and deliver your clients results, your ability to do hard thi...2022-12-1322 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 226: Why Mindset is Your Most Valuable Asset in Motherhood and BusinessSome entrepreneurs wonder, "Do I need a mindset coach, or a coach to help me with strategy?" My answer is this: mindset IS a strategy.   When it comes to motherhood and business, I believe mindset is your most valuable asset... it's just that most of us don't know how to leverage it well, and often, we can't see what we can't see. We can't see how we're holding ourselves back by getting in our own way. Often, we need outside perspective to shine a light on what we can't see.    Mindset is our most valuable asset because it influences every are...2022-12-0618 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 220: "What do You Know for Sure?"

We're not yet on the other side of COVID, and as we continue to navigate life in the in-between, many are experiencing something known as pandemic fatigue. To address this topic from a medical perspective, in this episode I interview my husband, a physician board-certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics, to talk about what pandemic fatigue is, the impact of the past year on our lives and what he's seen in his medical practice, what to know and watch out for in the me...2021-03-1641 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 107: How to Accept What IsIn previous episodes of Beyond Happy, we've talked about the many ways we argue with the reality of our lives - resisting what is because we believe it shouldn't be this way, it's unfair, bad or wrong. It's been said that "when we argue with reality, we lose - but only 100% of the time." In this episode we're talking about some of the most difficult circumstances we face in our lives, what happens when we fight against them, how acceptance is not indifference, and why we might want to choose to accept the circumstances in our lives beyond our contro...2020-09-2223 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 106: Quit One ThingThis episode was inspired by one of my favorite humans to learn from and follow: Bob Goff. If you haven't met Bob, he's a speaker, author and lover of people - his zeal for God and life is contagious. In his newest book, Bob shares a story about how he quits one thing each week. And today, I want to invite you to do the same. To quit one thing. Just one. It can be little, it can be big. Anything goes.

What would your life feel like? In this episode we're talking all about problems - what they are, why they are, and the two kinds of problems we face in our lives. Shakespeare famously said, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Essentially, problems don't become problems until we decide so. We create them with our thoughts - through the narratives we tell ourselves about our lives. In a life that feels like problems just happen to us, this is great news...2020-09-1526 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 104: Bitter or BetterSo many of us feel like we're at the mercy of the people and circumstances in our lives. We become the victims, waiting for this person to change, waiting for circumstances to be different so that we can feel better. In 2020, so many of us feel stuck, waiting for life to "go back to normal". We believe that then, we'll finally be able to feel better. So we keep waiting. The truth? Our circumstances have far much less power than we give them.

It's uncertainty. Our human brains want to be right, they want us to be comfortable and in control - so what happens when the reality of our lives is that uncertainty and change are guaranteed? Most often, it leads to a lot of mind drama, fear and freaking out that makes us feel miserable. In this episode, we're talking about what uncertainty means for us and why we’re so afraid of it.

Or lying awake every night, staring at the ceiling, thoughts swirling in your head? It's human nature to want to think things through, to better understand a situation or to want to make a wise decision, but sometimes, we overdo it. We overthink. Overthinking can pretend to be useful, but in reality it holds us back from finding solutions, making decisions and being present in our lives. It often keeps us from making progress and makes us feel even worse.

It's a question that may seem crazy to consider, because as human beings, we're wired to want to be right. But having a willingness, an openness to being wrong? It has some pretty powerful benefits. In this episode, we're talking about having the audacity to be wrong. Today we’re going to talk about why your brain has a resistance to being wrong, how the desire to be right can create unnecessary problems and make you feel miserable, and how having the audacity to be wrong can help you believe new things, bring you closer to...2020-08-1826 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp. 100: 10 Years, 10 Life Lessons (with guest Annabel Hoschek)After 99 episodes of just me and the mic, I'm celebrating the big 100 today by welcoming my first-ever guest.

Besides the obvious, what I love most about this episode is that the wisdom Annabel shares is universal - it'll resonate whether you're 10, 25, 40 or 100 - because as people, we have a lot more in common than we might realize.

The truth is, we have ideas about how we think life and people should be, and then... there's reality. More often than not, they don't match. One certainty we have in life is that changes and the unexpected? They're often guaranteed - and outside of our control. But how we choose to show up despite that - even when life looks much different than we expected, is the difference between living a disgruntled, unhappy and bitter life and one filled w...2020-08-1130 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp 98: Stop the Spiral of Toxic ThoughtsDo these thoughts sound familiar? I'll never be good enough. This is just the way I am. Life is always going to be hard for me. I'll finally feel better someday when I'm not _________. It wasn't supposed to be this way. These are just a few examples of toxic thoughts. They are toxic because of what they create in our lives when we choose to believe them. We can find ourselves stuck in these destructive thought patterns, but there is a way out.

During the day, you check in to see what friends are up to, read new messages and emails, distract yourself from a stressful project or escape from something you don't want to do - like cleaning the kitchen or folding the laundry. In many ways, our phones are the biggest distraction from the lives we already feel like we're missing out on.

As a life coach for working moms who want to live a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside, I hear this struggle most often: "I'm not present. I feel like I'm missing out on the life happening right in front of my eyes." For women navigating marriage, motherhood, business and more, it's understandable. You have a lot going on in life.

But questioning ourselves can be really useful too.

We exaggerate, we gossip, we make parts of our lives seem harder, more stressful, more upsetting and scary than they are. I call it "mama llama mind drama".

On the outside, they seem so nice, lovely and well-intentioned. Like a pretty little package. The only problem is, as nice as they seem on the outside, they create a lot of pain and suffering for us on the inside. They tend to be misguided thoughts because they argue with reality, put a silver lining of hope on something we can't actually depend on, or cover up the truth.

The part we often forget is that new beginnings mean that we have to become a beginner within those new circumstances. New marriages make us beginners at being wives. Babies make us beginner mothers. New jobs require us to begin fresh learning new skills, responsibilities and new co-workers. New seasons of life often lead us to become beginners once again, because we're living in a set of circumstances we never have before.

Living Life DifferentlySo many of us want things to be different in life, but no one wants to change. It's this dichotomy that keeps us stuck - holds us back from moving forward or making change. As Dave Ramsey says, if you want to "live like no one else", you have to LIVE like no one else. This is where change happens.

The truth is, we sometimes laugh at it being referred to as "the most wonderful time of the year" because for many of us, it doesn't feel so wonderful. Many times, the pain and suffering experienced during the holiday system come from believing that something is lacking, something is broken or missing in our lives.

Emotions are high in both directions: there's excitement, happiness and joy; stress, sadness and other suffering. There are family gatherings, financial challenges and an abundance of food. We joke about "eating our feelings", but we absolutely do. Today, we're talking about the biology behind it, why we eat to feel better, and four things to consider if you want to stop emotional eating and feel better in this season.2019-11-1927 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp 53.

The Next Right ThingFor many of us, making decisions is hard. We spin in circles, feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Often, instead of doing something, anything to move forward, we do nothing at all. In this episode, we take the topic of making decisions a step further with the idea of simply doing the NEXT right thing rather than believing we should be doing ALL the things. When we constrain our focus to the next right thing, we free ourselves from overwhelm and set ourselves up for progress.2019-09-2421 minBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessBEYOND: The Podcast for Moms Called to BusinessEp 43.

The thing is, the thoughts we often have about them - conclusions we jump to, assumptions we make - don't really impact the other people. But they do impact US.
