In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts and life lessons that came through during my solo trip to Belize. We cover truths about self-worth, setting boundaries, and why so many of us still feel like we have to earn our right to take up space. If you’ve been overthinking your next move, shrinking yourself to make others comfortable, or feeling stuck in routines that no longer fit, don’t miss this episode.

Takeaways:

1. Hard conversations lead to powerful outcomes. Whether it’s setting boundaries with a boss or asking for a sale, learning to speak up with clarity and courage is essential for achieving the results you truly want.
   

2. Anxiety is often a signal, not a stop sign. When you pause to ask yourself, “What’s really going on here?” you gain clarity. Naming your fear often points you toward your next best step.
   

3. Your journey is yours to take, it’s not about who else understands it. Pursuing your purpose, even when it doesn’t make sense to others, will always be more fulfilling than living someone else’s version of success.
   

4. You don’t have to earn the right to take up space. You are inherently worthy. Your energy and presence are valuable just as they are. They are gifts to those you share them with.
   

5. If it feels “not worth it,” ask yourself: is the thing not worth it, or do you feel like you’re not worth it? Your desire alone makes something worth exploring. You’re worthy of trying new things simply because they light you up.

Amickoleh and I talk money mindset, mental clutter, and giving yourself a little grace. In this episode, we discuss how working through your blocks, both emotional and financial, can help you build a business that actually feels good. If you’re growing something from the ground up, this one’s a gentle reminder that you’re doing better than you think.

Takeaways:

• Working through your money blocks is powerful because money helps you make the impact you want to make in the world. Money allows you to give generously in support of causes you care about as well as hire the support you need to allow you to spend more time in your zone of genius.

• Clearing out the mental and emotional clutter gives you invaluable real estate in your own heart and mind to use for focusing on and creating what it is that you want to create.

• Be patient with yourself - give yourself grace. This is the first time you’ve been here, doing this. You’re creating a business out of thin air. Don’t be too hard on yourself. 🖤

Tune into this conversation with my friend Amickoleh as we dig into how there’s not one, “right” cookie cutter way to build your business. Instead, it’s so important to figure out what works for you, be willing to accept help, and make sure you’re filling your own cup (especially if you're an ADHD entrepreneur owner like me!).

Whether you’re tired of the hustle or simply craving a more authentic, intuitive way to run your business, this conversation will remind you that you get to do it differently, and that’s your greatest strength.

Takeaways:

• Two of the biggest lessons I’ve learned as an ADHD entrepreneur: 1. There’s no “right way” to do entrepreneurship. You have to figure out what works for you. 2. There’s nothing wrong with you.

• There is a difference between having time and having capacity - especially when we’re holding space and pouring our energy into others. It’s important to accept help and pour into ourselves so that we have the energy and capacity to show up for our clients.

• Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to, or should. Feeling obligated to do things just because you’re good at them is how we get stuck in our zone of excellence instead of our zone of genius. Give yourself permission to pivot and pursue those things that truly light you up and that only you can do - your zone of genius.

This episode is your permission slip to trust your pace, your process, and your path. Tune in for a refreshing perspective on success, support, and sustainable growth.

Welcome to this episode, “You Don’t Have to Quit to Begin: Baby Steps, Big Shifts.” If you’re building your business while still clocking into a 9-to-5—or just trying to figure out how to make space for your dreams—this conversation is for you. I’m sharing my own journey of taking a 3-week trip to Belize, what it taught me about freedom, and how baby steps can lead to massive transformation. Because sometimes, the most powerful shift isn’t quitting everything—it’s starting where you are, with what you have.

Whether you're dreaming of international travel, building a coaching business, or just craving more meaning in your daily life, this episode is for you. We talk mindset shifts, PTO planning, baby steps toward global exploration, and how to blend your dream life into your current reality—without burnout or overwhelm.

Expect heartfelt insights on:

• How one bold trip to Belize became a powerful reminder that your dream life is closer than you think

• The magic of taking baby steps—and why progress matters more than perfection

• Having courageous conversations to honor your goals, even in a corporate setting

• Why you don’t need to “burn it all down” to build something new and meaningful

• Creating a life that feels like freedom now, not just someday

• Why taking small steps is still chasing the dream

If you’re waiting to “have it all figured out” before you begin, consider this your permission to start messy, slow, and right where you are. You don’t have to go “all in” to make real change. Tune in to learn how to make your next bold move—your way.

Takeaways:

• You’re not ready until you’re ready. It’s easy to look back and beat yourself for not taking a huge leap earlier, but sometimes you’re not ready until you’re ready. Starting small allows you to become the person who is ready to take the next, bigger step while you’re taking those small steps.

• “So many of us are afraid of being wrong that we don’t try anything”. But you’re allowed to mess up. You’re allowed to make mistakes. It’s part of being human.

• Listening to your intuition is just like learning anything else. You have to practice it. Sometimes, you have to learn what your own voice sounds like.
