THE SCOOP TL;DR: If your business feels heavy, even though it's "working", this might be why. In my latest blog (and we go even deeper on the podcast), I share the story of Mitch, my houseplant, and what he taught me about outgrowing your current container. Read or listen here: You’re Not Burned Out. You’re Rootbound. Reader, If you’ve ever looked at your business and thought, “I should love this… I built it... but it feels so heavy?” - this is for you. On the blog (and even deeper on the...

THE SCOOP TL;DR: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what happens when your business stops feeling like you. If you’ve been doing all the right things but something still feels off or nothing is working the way it's "supposed" to, today's Scoop is for you. There’s nothing wrong with you, but there might be something misaligned. Figure out what it is by grabbing my new guide: Why Isn’t This Working? Grab it here. Hey hey Reader! You know how you start thinking about something and then you...

Reader, Have you had a chance to check out the Purpose + Profit podcast? This morning, I was recording episodes 56-59, and I realized I haven't done an excellent job of really highlighting the difference between my bi-weekly blog and the podcast. The blog is where I always start. It's got my cohesive thinking, and it serves as the foundation for my thought leadership. But as you probably also know that not everyone prefers to read content. Some like to listen. And thus, the podcast was born....

THE SCOOP Hey Reader, Spring is here, and despite the fact that it doesn't quite feel like it (snow's coming this week in Colorado), there’s something magical about this season. After months of stillness, things are finally starting to wake up. The light is lingering longer, the air is softening, and, if you look closely, you’ll see the first signs of growth everywhere. In fact, we've been playing a little game at our house... find the flowers. Last fall, my husband planted a bunch of...

Reader, Let’s talk about the elephant in the room. A lot of people are pointing fingers right now...The economy feels like it's a mess.The political climate is chaotic and changing every single day.People are more conservative with their dollars. And yes, all of that is true. We need to acknowledge the instability, exhaustion, and uncertainty most of us, including our clients, are feeling right now. But here’s what’s also true: The reason you’re not getting clients isn’t just about the world...

Reader, If you’ve been thinking about joining The Visibility Breakthrough Workshop, but something’s holding you back… I get it. Investing in your visibility (and yourself) can bring up questions, doubts, and even fear, especially right now. So let me answer a few of the most common questions I’ve been getting: 1. What if I don’t have time to “be visible” right now? Totally fair. That’s why the workshop focuses on quick, high-impact strategies that take just a few minutes a day. As a business...

Hey Reader! Let me introduce you to someone incredible: Jen Morris, the founder of Renegade Motherhood. Jen built Renegade Motherhood from a deep, unshakable passion—to help women build and grow businesses and do motherhood on their own terms. She has big ideas, a powerful voice, and a mission that mattered. But like so many entrepreneurs, she was stuck in that in-between place: Too many ideas Not enough clarity And unsure how to move forward without burning out. When we started working...

Reader, Does doing business feel harder than it should? I've talked to a lot of my colleagues, and virtually everyone is seeing and feeling the business landscape shift. The strategies that worked a few years ago aren't working the same way they used to. Couple that with a lot of political, social, and economic uncertainty, and your potential clients are more judicious than ever. Heck, you probably are too! When things feel uncertain, when the rules keep changing, it’s easy to pull back. To...

THE SCOOP Reader, All last week I was in Austin, TX supporting athletes, my son included, as they prepared for the National Team Trials in Climbing. I've written often about elite athletes because they are so dang inspiring! I love their discipline, their willingness to do hard things, and the way they rise to the challenge when the pressure to show up grows. I saw that in spades this week. The level of grit and determination every single athlete displayed was so inspiring! In business, as we...
