Like A Mom: Rooted, Healing & Thriving

We often think that adding value to our business means adding more—more products, more services, more bonuses. But true value doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from being more. In this episode, we dive into what it really means to infuse depth, authenticity, and emotional connection into your offers so they resonate with the right people.I’ll share a powerful analogy about how value is defined by personal meaning, just like a family photo or a child’s beloved stuffed animal. Plus, I’ll break down how embracing your unique experiences—whether it’s motherhood, personal growth, or business struggles—naturally makes your offers magnetic to those who truly need them.Ready to define the value in your business?

Life wasn’t just full—it was overflowing.In this episode, I’m sharing why it’s so important to look back at our past selves with love, gratitude, and compassion instead of judgment.
