Guess which four my brain wanted to obsess over?That’s negativity bias at work. We’re wired to pay more attention to threats, criticism, rejection, and things that hurt. The problem starts when one bad conversation doesn’t end when the conversation does. You carry it into your work, your sleep, your relationships, and the
What To Do When You Are the Bottleneck in Your Business

I built a successful agency, became the person everyone needed, and eventually ran that business into the ground. I thought being indispensable made me a great leader. What I had really built was dependency. If every decision, approval, problem, and question still lands on your desk, you don’t have a delegation problem. You may be the bottleneck. I’m breaking
Are You Building Goodwill, or Discounting Your Value?
Are You Building Goodwill, or Discounting Your Value? Sep 8, 2026 23:37 There’s a big difference between generosity that builds your value and generosity that quietly tears it down.I learned this lesson the hard way. When you give discounts, extras, or freebies because you’re afraid someone might say no, you’re not just lowering the price. You’re teaching people what they can expect from you. And trust me, once you start giving yourself away, people rarely stop asking

Encore Presentation:The Reason You’re Still Stuck (And Why You Can’t See It) | S2028 Aug 25, 2026 27:35 Some lessons are worth hearing again, especially when the patterns holding us back are the ones we can’t see. I’m bringing this conversation back as an encore because your blind spots don’t always disappear once you’ve spotted them. They can show up in new forms, at new levels, and right when you think you’ve finally figured your shit out.There’s a ceiling most high performers never see… and I’ll

3 Tricks to Stop Procrastinating and Get Things Done Aug 11, 2026 15:50 You know the thing you should be doing. You’ve probably known for days, maybe weeks. But knowing doesn’t mean your butt is actually going to get out of the chair and do it.I’ve learned that trying to force myself through work I hate rarely works. My brain is way too good at finding something else to do. Suddenly laundry looks fascinating, snacks become urgent, and another walk seems completely rea

3 Hidden Barriers Keeping Coaches Underpaid | S2026 Jul 28, 2026 25:34 Most coaches don't struggle with what they know. They struggle with what they'll charge for it. I break down the three emotional barriers that keep skilled coaches, consultants, and educators underpaid.

The Power of AND: Living A Life Without Compromise | S2025 Jun 30, 2026 57:19 What if the thing holding you back isn't a lack of time, talent, or opportunity, but the belief that you have to choose?I sat down with Rebecca Powers to talk about what she calls the Power of And. It all started with a surprising confrontation at work over a side project creating yoga-inspired t-shirts. What looked like a small moment became a life-changing lesson. Rebecca realized she didn't hav

How to Keep Going When You Feel Like Giving Up | S2022 May 19, 2026 18:58 There’s a moment most people hit when life keeps punching and nothing seems to be working anymore. You’ve been grinding for months, maybe years, and suddenly your brain starts whispering, “Maybe I’m the problem.” I wanted to talk about that moment because I see too many talented people quit right before things start turning around again. The market shifts. Relationships get hard. Business slows do

In this solo episode, I pull apart the blind spots and self-sabotaging patterns that keep high performers stuck, stressed, and spinning their wheels. I share why smart, capable people are often the hardest

The Reason You’re Still Stuck (And Why You Can’t See It) | S2020 Apr 21, 2026 26:11 There’s a ceiling most high performers never see… and I’ll tell you right now, it’s not about skill, strategy, or motivation. It’s about the stories you’re telling yourself that feel so true you don’t even question them. I’ve lived this.
