Playing it safe feels comfortable, right? But here’s the truth: safe is actually the riskiest move you can make. In this episode, I’m breaking down the real cost of hiding in your comfort zone—lost time, lost money, lost confidence, and worst of all… lost dreams.
I’ll share how saying “yes” to starting a property management company with Nick (even in the craziest season of our lives!) opened doors we never would’ve imagined. And I’ll ask you the same questions I’ve been asking myself: What is staying safe costing you? Where are you shrinking instead of stepping forward?
Because regret? That’s heavier than any risk you’ll ever take. This week, I’m challenging you to trade safety for courage and take the leap you’ve been putting off. Your dream life isn’t built in your comfort zone—it’s waiting on the other side of risk. 💥

I’m back after a whirlwind couple of weeks (hello new business!) and today I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart big time: the power of doing things differently. 💥
If you want extraordinary results, you can’t keep doing what everyone else is doing. Period.
In this episode, I tell the behind-the-scenes story of our brand-new property management company and how breaking away from the “normal” way has already created crazy momentum. From real estate to fitness to content creation, the same truth applies—blending in keeps you invisible, standing out opens doors.
I’ll walk you through how we flipped the script, what I’ve learned from mentors who never follow the crowd, and a simple challenge you can start this week to break free from “average.” If you’ve been feeling stuck or playing it safe, this episode is your permission slip to zig when everyone else zags.

In this episode, I’m keeping it real with you — because the truth is, life doesn’t just hand us the things we want. Success, impact, freedom… none of it shows up by wishing for it. You’ve gotta roll up your sleeves, do the work, and earn it.
I share some behind-the-scenes stories from building our new business, the lessons I’ve been learning from some powerhouse entrepreneurs, and why the grind, the persistence, and the uncomfortable growth moments are actually the biggest rewards of all.
So if you’ve ever caught yourself waiting for things to “just happen” — this is your reminder that the reward isn’t only in the result, it’s in who you become along the way. 💪
Let’s do life big — and let’s WORK for it!

Welcome back to Do Life Big! Today I’m diving into a truth that I know you need to hear (because I’ve needed it too, more times than I can count): no matter what you’re facing, there is always a way forward.
Maybe you’ve hit that “brick wall” in your business, in your relationships, or even in your own mindset and thought, How the heck am I going to get through this? I’ve been there. But here’s the thing—you always found a way. You’re here right now, proof that you made it through.
In this episode, I’m sharing how to shift out of that stuck, victim-mode thinking, how to start asking better questions, and how to see problems not as dead ends but as detours—ones that will still lead you exactly where you’re meant to go.
Because listen, quitting isn’t an option. Pivoting? Sure. Getting creative? Absolutely. But giving up? Nope, not here. You’re stronger than you think, and the solution is always closer than it feels.
Tune in and let’s talk about how to keep moving forward when life feels impossible. You’ve got this—and I’m here to remind you of it.

Have you ever felt like your business is this giant boulder you’re pushing uphill every single day? I’ve been there too, and honestly—it sucks. In today’s episode, I’m diving into the difference between heavy energy (desperation, pressure, forcing) and light energy (excitement, alignment, fun).
I’ll walk you through how to catch yourself when you’re spiraling into “need mode,” how to pause and reset, and most importantly—how to bring the FUN back into your business.
Because here’s the truth: yes, business takes work, but it should feel exciting, aligned, and magnetic. When you shift into that light energy, you’ll attract more of what you want with way less stress.
Tune in to learn how to stop gripping so tight and start flowing forward again. ✨

You know those people who just get you? The ones you can be your messy, unfiltered, totally human self around?
Yeah… those relationships are pure gold.
In this episode, I’m diving into why authentic connections are literally the key to opportunities you can’t even see yet. I’m talking about the doors that swing open because someone thought of you, recommended you, or pulled up a chair for you at the right table—simply because you’ve shown up as YOU.
We’re talking: ✨ Why small talk isn’t where the magic happens ✨ How to stop “networking” and start connecting ✨ The ripple effect of showing up fully as yourself
This one’s for anyone who’s tired of surface-level relationships and ready to start building the kind of connections that change everything.

Ever feel a wave of anger rise up when someone crosses a line—whether it’s big or small?
You’re not being dramatic. That feeling is trying to tell you something.
In today’s episode of the Do Life Big podcast, I’m sharing a personal story that seemed small on the surface—just a random family walking through our backyard—but underneath it? A wake-up call about boundaries, respect, and our tendency to shrink ourselves just to “keep the peace.”
Here’s the truth: 🚨 Anger isn’t bad. It’s not the enemy. It’s a signal—a clue—that something needs to be protected, voiced, or clarified.
This episode is for the woman who’s learning to trust herself again. The woman who’s tired of explaining away her needs. The woman who’s done being quiet just to make everyone else comfortable.
If your boundaries have been crossed and you’ve felt like your anger was “too much”… this is your permission to listen, get clear, and take your power back. 💥

This one’s personal, friend. 👀
I had a dream the other night that stopped me in my tracks—and it brought up something I didn’t even realize I was still holding onto: my identity being wrapped up in recognition, titles, and applause.
If you've ever felt like you’re not sure who you are without the business, the rank, the hustle, the results... you are NOT alone.
In this episode, I’m getting raw and real about what happens when your identity is tied to what you do instead of who you are—and how we can shift out of it.
Let’s stop chasing what no longer fits and start becoming who we’re really here to be. 🎧

What if the real reason you feel stuck isn't the strategy… but the story you're believing underneath it?
In this episode, I’m getting real about why surface-level fixes—like grinding harder or switching up your to-do list—don’t actually create lasting transformation.
I share a moment from my own business where I hit a plateau and thought the answer was more action… when really, it was about going deeper. Because friend, the fruit (your results) will always reflect the root (your beliefs).
If you’ve ever wondered why you keep hitting the same walls despite doing all the things—this episode is going to hit home. We’re talking identity, belief, healing, and the inner shifts that truly create outer change.
Let’s get to the root. 🌱

Can I be honest with you? I almost didn’t feel like recording this episode. The motivation was low, the energy wasn’t there… and then BOOM—my best friend calls, and suddenly there are two giant water spouts forming outside my house 😳 (Florida life, right?).
But THAT moment was the wake-up call I needed—because today’s episode is exactly about this:
What do you do when you don’t feel like it?
We ALL have those days where motivation is MIA and our energy is dragging. But you know what separates those who stay stuck from those who actually create the life and business they want? It’s what they do on the days they don’t feel like showing up.
In this episode, I’m sharing:✨ The mindset shift that changed everything for me✨ A simple strategy to get back into motion✨ How to create your “bare minimum list” so you never hit zero✨ Why waiting to feel like it is a trap that steals your dreams
If you’ve ever said, “I’ll do it tomorrow” or “I need to be in the right headspace”—this is for you.
It’s time to stop waiting. Start moving. You’ll thank yourself later.

This one’s a wake-up call. ⚡️
If you've been telling yourself, “Now’s just not the right time,” I need you to really hear me on this…
Waiting is costing you more than you think. It’s costing you confidence. It’s costing you momentum. And most of all—it’s costing you the life you say you want. 😬
In this episode, I’m getting real about how I used to wait for the perfect time too (spoiler alert: it never came!). I had zero experience, zero time, a ton of fear—and still, I made the decision to GO. That one decision changed everything.
I’m sharing exactly what to do when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like life’s just “too much” to start anything new.
If you’ve been waiting… this is your sign. 🚨 Let’s stop stalling and start moving. You were made for this—and your time is NOW.
✨ Don’t miss this one. Press play and let’s go!

Ever had a moment where you’re so pumped about a new idea or goal…
Only to hear that little whisper creep in and say:
“Who do you think you are?” “You’re not ready.” “That’s never gonna work.”
Yep — that sneaky voice is self-doubt. And if it’s been running the show in your life or business lately, this episode is for YOU.
Let’s be real — even the most successful people deal with self-doubt. (Yes, even the 7-figure business owners, even the ones speaking on stages, even the ones with the “perfect” Instagram feeds.)
But the difference? They’ve learned how to quiet the noise and take bold action anyway.
And in this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m giving you my personal 3-part strategy — the exact framework I use — to move from doubt to confidence (and get unstuck, fast!).
🎧 Listen to Episode 141 now: 👉 How to Overcome Self-Doubt and Take Bold Action
We’re diving into: ✅ Why self-doubt really shows up (hint: it’s NOT a sign you’re not good enough) ✅ The 3 Cs that will shift your mindset from paralyzed to powerful ✅ Daily tools you can use to rewire your thoughts (and stop holding back!) ✅ PLUS: the dream I had recently that made me realize just how deep this can run… 😳
Whether you’ve been second-guessing your next move or secretly wondering if you have what it takes…
This is your reminder: You don’t have to feel ready to take action. You just need to start. Messy. Unsure. Scared. Start anyway.
Oh — and one more exciting thing:

Ever hear that voice in your head that says…
“Who am I to be doing this?” “They’re already so far ahead.” “What if I mess this up… and everyone sees?”
Yeah. That one.
Spoiler alert: it’s not you—it’s your inner critic, and she’s been running the show for way too long.
In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m pulling back the curtain on the REAL reason you’re holding back from showing up fully in your business, and what to do about it.
Whether you’re switching gears, starting something new, or just feeling like the “small fish” in a big pond… I get it. I’ve been there. (Like, hi—I spent YEARS thinking I had to wait until I had it all together before I could take action.)

Have you ever had a dream or an idea that totally lit your soul on fire 🔥…
but somehow it ended up shoved to the back burner?
You know the one — the “maybe later,” the “when things calm down,” the “when I’m ready” kind of dream.
🙋♀️ I’ve been there. And if you’ve been stuck in planning mode, overthinking every step and waiting for that perfect time to start?
Whew. This episode is gonna hit home.
Because here’s the truth 👇
✨ Clarity doesn’t come from thinking.
✨ Confidence doesn’t come from waiting.
✨ Alignment doesn’t come from perfect plans.
They all come from DOING.
In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m sharing how I finally stopped sitting on my big dream (for 2.5 YEARS! 😅) and took bold, imperfect action — and how you can do the same.
We’re getting into:
✅ Why waiting until you’re “ready” is just fear in disguise
✅ What all the most successful entrepreneurs have in common
✅ The mindset shifts that will move you from dreaming to DOING
✅ And a little challenge to get you into action this week 🚀
Your dream isn’t waiting for perfection. It’s waiting for you. 💛

If you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions lately — juggling business, family, life — and wondering how you’re supposed to keep up… you’re not alone. 😅
In this week’s Do Life Big podcast episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something every entrepreneur (especially us moms) experiences: overwhelm.
But here’s the thing I want you to remember: overwhelm isn’t a badge of honour. It’s not a requirement for success — and it definitely shouldn’t be running your business.
Instead, I’m sharing 4 simple mindset shifts to help you: ✅ Break the spiral of mental clutter ✅ Stay focused on what actually matters ✅ Take inspired, effective action (not just busywork) ✅ Protect your peace while building a business you love
💡 Plus, I’ll tell you about a powerful method I use called the “Parking Lot List” — total game-changer for decluttering your brain!
And if you’re looking for more support, community, and mentorship to grow your business without the overwhelm — doors are opening soon for the Empowered Mom’s Business Circle! 💼✨
This is my brand new membership for heart-led moms building powerful businesses — with the tools, strategy, and mindset support you actually need.

Ever been the kind of person who insists on doing it all yourself?
🙋♀️ Guilty. That’s been me—carrying all the grocery bags in one trip, saying “I’ve got it!” even when I’m drowning, and thinking asking for help makes me weak.
But guess what?
That’s a LIE we’ve been sold—and I’m done believing it.
In this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m getting super real about what it looks like when life throws a lot at you (like recovering from back-to-back travel and a husband on crutches 😅) and you finally admit…
💥 You can’t do it all alone. 💥 You shouldn’t have to. 💥 And asking for help is actually one of the boldest, most powerful things you can do.
We’re talking about:
✨ Why “strong” doesn’t mean doing everything yourself ✨ What it really looks like to let people support you—in life and business ✨ Signs you might be stuck in solo-mode (even when you’re overwhelmed) ✨ And how to start asking for help without guilt or apology 🙅♀️
If you’ve ever felt like you have to keep it all together while quietly drowning on the inside... this one’s gonna hit you right in the heart.

Ever had one of those days?
You’ve got the list. You’ve got the plan. You even have the time…
But somehow, you end up deep-cleaning your kitchen pantry, reorganizing email folders, or scrolling TikTok wondering how that dog learned to skateboard instead of doing the ONE thing you said you’d do. 😅
Yup—been there, done that. 🙋♀️
But guess what?
👉 Procrastination doesn’t mean you’re lazy. 👉 It doesn’t mean you’re unmotivated. 👉 It doesn’t mean you’re broken.
It means… your brain is doing its job. 🧠
And in this week’s episode of Do Life Big, I’m pulling back the curtain on the REAL reason you’re procrastinating. Spoiler: it’s got nothing to do with being lazy—and everything to do with fear, identity, and your subconscious programming.
🔥 We’re getting into: • Why your brain loves “safe” and avoids “big, bold moves” • The 3 sneaky fears that fuel your avoidance • And 3 practical steps to break the cycle (plus a bonus tip to shake things up!)
And if you’ve ever caught yourself saying, “Ughhh why can’t I just DO the thing?”… This one is gonna hit home. 💥

Let’s get real for a second...
Have you ever felt like you're pouring your heart into your business—showing up, posting, emailing, connecting—and still, it feels like nothing is happening? 😫 Like you're yelling into the void and wondering, “What the heck am I doing wrong?”
If that sounds like you (👋 been there, done that!), then you NEED to listen to this week’s episode of Do Life Big. Trust me, this one hits hard (in the best way). 💥
In this episode, we talk about the real stuff—what it actually feels like to build a biz when results are slow, and what to do when that annoying little voice in your head starts whispering, “Maybe this isn’t for you.” 😒
✨ Here’s the truth:
Your success is inevitable—but it’s not on your fear’s timeline.
Every post, every message, every “Hey, I love what you’re doing!” is a SEED being planted 🌱
Just like a bamboo tree 🌿... it grows underground for years before it shoots up 90ft in just weeks.
Your business is doing that invisible work right now—even if you can’t see it. 💫
🔥 Here’s what you’ll walk away with:
How to stay grounded in your big vision even when it feels like nothing's working
A reality check on timelines (they’re not the boss of you!)
A mindset shift that'll keep you going when most people would quit
Mini wins = MASSIVE momentum 🚀 (yes, even the “small” stuff counts!)
So if you’ve been feeling stuck, behind, or like giving up… this is your sign. Your breakthrough is coming, friend. Don’t. Give. Up. 🫶
