In this epsiode the wonderful Katie Pulsifer joins me. Katie is a coach who helps women rediscover who they are after big life shifts (think: raising kids, navigating empty nesting or stepping out of high-powered corporate roles).

She opens up about her own journey, the big leap from working as an employee and teacher to returning to full-time entrepreneurship. We dive deep into what it really takes to move through uncertain transitions, including all the messy mindset work that comes with it.

Here’s what you’ll hear us chat about

• Why leaving behind major roles feels so disorienting, and how to find our footing again.
• What to do when our brain tries to fixate on every flaw and doubt
• How to live in the “in-between” when our mind craves certainty.
• Why the transition phase can feel so wobbly, and how to move through that discomfort with a bit (or a lot) more self-compassion.
• we also chat about finding our own sustainable pace for life and business. How we need to let go of pressure (from ourself and others) to “hustle and scale” and instead build a business that truly fits our values and our real life.

If you’re feeling in-between identities, roles, or seasons right now, and even if you're not, this conversation will inspire you and remind you that you’re absolutely not alone, and that it’s possible to move forward in a way that feels true to you.

In this episode we take a look at the popular advice to “spend to save taxes.” Together we walk through a simple example that shows why buying random things at the end of the year just to reduce profit is usually a losing game for your bank account and your peace of mind.

Instead of trying to get rid of profit (hear how backwards that sounds?), I invite you to see profit as something you can direct. I'll suggest calmer, more empowering ways to use the money we have.

I also offer a short and simple year end money reflection by asking yourself three questions.

I invite you to slow down the Black Friday frenzy and honestly look at how you are spending. Are you buying “just in time” to solve a real problem in your business, or “just in case” because of FOMO and clever marketing?

Together we explore how Black Friday plays with our nervous system, why “just in case” courses and tools often turn into digital and financial clutter, not to mention mental and emotional chaos. I also talk about how to use a simple “parking lot” note and a four question buying filter before we click “buy now.”

This episode is especially for small business owners and online entrepreneurs who want more peace in their business and not more chaos on their credit card at the end of the year and into 2026.

Tune in to start shifting from chaotic, reactive spending to calm, intentional money choices that support your business, your rainy day fund, and your future self.
