Can you believe it? This is episode 100! To celebrate this monumental milestone, I'm doing something a little different this week — no guest, just you and me. I wanted to pause and share the top five things I've learned from sitting down with so many inspiring people over five seasons.
If you've ever wondered how someone with four jobs, kids, and a weekly podcast fits it all in, or if doubt has been creeping in on a dream you're carrying, this one is for you. I'm getting honest about what actually keeps me focused — from blocking my time to building a small business mastermind to remembering to take a bath with Epsom salt and fill my own cup.
Whether you've heard one episode or all 100, I'm so glad you're here. Let's celebrate together, and let's keep going.
Key takeaways
- You have to work at it — and you make time for what's important to you. Get intentional and block your time so you know what you're working on and when.
- Don't be afraid to go for it. Naysayers and no's will come, but if you can see the vision and believe in yourself, what others think doesn't have to matter.
- Create a small business mastermind. A handful of trusted people you can confide in, bounce ideas off of, and grow with will help you tremendously — and keeping it small makes it easy to reach out in between.
- Be purposeful in your actions. Make plans and goals, then be consistent — write them down, put them up, create a vision board, or find people who'll hold you accountable.
- Take time for yourself. Even five minutes of a few deep breaths and cold water helps, and so does scheduling real time with friends to fill your cup.
- A common thread across these interviews: people share their struggles and roadblocks so you know you're not alone — you can get through the hard stuff because others have.
- How I find guests: a lot of it is listener-inspired. If someone interesting comes to mind, send me a message and I'll look into them.
